Nelson Agholor Not At Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday. Agholor is likely to miss his third straight game, and he's in danger of missing Week 17 as well. The Eagles will likely go with three-receiver sets consisting of J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Robert Davis in a huge divisional matchup with […]

Rhett Ellison Downgraded To Limited

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was downgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after practicing in full on Wednesday. It's something worth watching entering Week 16 against the Redskins. The 31-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 10 due to his head injury, but he'll leapfrog rookie Kaden Smith as the primary pass-catching tight […]

Will Grier Confirmed As Week 16 Starter

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Perry Fewell confirmed on Thursday that rookie quarterback Will Grier will start in Week 16 against the Colts. The expectation earlier this week was that the Panthers would give Grier the keys to the offense for the final two weeks, and now that is confirmed. With nothing to play for, […]

Dalvin Cook Going Through Normal Preparations

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) said that he's going through his "normal preparation" for the week with hopes that he can play on Monday night against the Packers. "If I’m ready to go, I’m ready to go," Cook said. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Thursday that it's unlikely Cook will suit up. Especially […]

DeAndre Hopkins Back At Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out sick on Wednesday. He'll be completely fine to face the Buccaneers this Saturday in Week 16. It couldn't be a better matchup for those in the fantasy finals this weekend, as Tampa's secondary allows the most fantasy points per game […]

Teams Interested In Yoenis Cespedes Trade

The New York Mets have had teams reach out to them in the past week concerning a potential trade for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, according to a source. There is nothing close or imminent, but some initial conversations have taken place after the Mets restructured Cespedes' contract. The Cuban slugger missed the entire 2019 season due […]

A Healthy Steven Souza Jr. Is Attracting Interest

Outfielder Steven Souza Jr. (knee), who is running, hitting and throwing at 100 percent intensity after April surgery on his left knee, is drawing interest from the Rangers, Rays, Cubs and Giants, according to a source. The 30-year-old tore multiple ligaments in his knee in spring training for the Diamondbacks and missed the entire 2019 […]

Reds Discussing Francisco Lindor

The Cincinnati Reds are the latest team to engage the Cleveland Indians about a potential trade for shortstop Francisco Lindor, according to a source. It's unknown if there is any traction for a trade, but the Reds have been aggressive in trades before on Trevor Bauer and Yasiel Puig, and they have attractive trade chips […]

Chris Godwin Ruled Out For Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Texans on Saturday. This should come as no surprise to fantasy owners, as Godwin is expected to miss the final two games of the season. With Mike Evans (hamstring) and Scott Miller […]

Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas Miss Practice

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (illness) and Demaryius Thomas (ankle, knee) are not practicing on Thursday. Thomas also missed practice on Wednesday, so he's not in a good spot to return in Week 16 against the Steelers. Vyncint Smith filled in for DT last week as the third wideout, but he's not a […]

Chris Godwin Absent Again Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) was absent from practice again on Thursday. Godwin is fully expected to miss the final two games of the season after pulling his hamstring in Week 15. You won't be able to use him for your fantasy championship matches, unfortunately. Breshad Perriman, who broke out for three […]

Jerry Jones Optimistic About Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones showed some optimism on the status of quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) for Week 16 in the important meeting with the Eagles. "I’m totally convinced he’ll be in top form. We need him in top form and he will be in top form," Jones said. Prescott should be active, but he […]

Christian Kirk Misses Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Kirk should be able to play in Week 16 against the Seahawks, but his status shouldn't be taken for granted. He'll need to get in at least a limited session either Thursday or Friday to have a shot at suiting […]

Hunter Renfrow Could Return In Week 16

Oakland Raiders rookie wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) was limited in practice on Wednesday. It puts Renfrow potentially on track to return for the first time since Nov. 24 against the Jets. The first-year receiver has just 36 catches (53 targets) for 396 yards and two touchdowns this year, though, so he won't be a […]

Noah Fant Gets In Limited Practice

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday. Fant injured his shoulder in the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs but was able to finish out the game. He should be fine to play in Week 16 against the Lions if he avoids any late-week setbacks. The rookie […]

Damien Williams Returns To Limited Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) was a limited participant on Wednesday. He hasn't played since suffering a rib injury in Week 11 against the Chargers, but he was also limited last Wednesday and Thursday before missing his third straight game in Week 15 against the Broncos. Williams could be in line to […]

Nicholas Castellanos Receiving Plenty Of Interest

The Cubs, Giants and Rangers all have mutual interest in outfielder Nicholas Castellanos, but money may be an issue in him re-signing with the Cubs. There is obvious intrigue in him returning to the Cubbies after he hit .321/.356/.646 with 16 home runs and 36 RBI in 51 games with them after being traded over […]

Wade Miley Agrees With Reds

The Cincinnati Reds officially agreed to a two-year, $15 million deal with left-handed starter Wade Miley on Wednesday, according to a source. The deal includes a team option for 2022 that can bring the total value of the contract to $24 million. The 33-year-old southpaw was 14-6 with a 3.98 ERA and 140 strikeouts for […]

Trent Brown Sent To Injured Reserve

Oakland Raiders Pro Bowl right tackle Trent Brown (pectoral) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to head coach Jon Gruden. Brown has been a huge asset for Oakland's offensive line, mainly in pass protection, in his first year with the Raiders. His loss could prove costly in the team's final two games, starting […]

DeAndre Hopkins Out Sick Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) missed practice on Wednesday. Hopkins should be just fine for a juicy matchup with Tampa Bay's porous secondary in Week 16 on Saturday. The elite wideout has gone over 100 yards receiving in each of the last two games against the Broncos and Titans and has seven touchdowns […]

Jets Defense Could Get Jamal Adams Back

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (foot) returned to practice on Wednesday and said the chances of him playing in Week 16 against the Steelers are "very high." The 24-year-old has been out since Dec. 1. He's one of the key pieces of the entire Jets Defense, so his return would be excellent news as […]

Taylor Gabriel Still Not Practicing Wednesday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Gabriel hasn't practiced since suffering his head injury on Nov. 24 against the Giants. With the Bears now eliminated from playoff contention with two games remaining, there's a good chance we won't see Gabriel again this season. Allen Robinson and Anthony Miller […]

Bo Scarbrough Limited In Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Scarbrough missed the Week 15 game against the Buccaneers, but he could be on track to return this Sunday in a matchup with the Broncos on the road. Even so, Scarbrough could be limited for a tanking Lions team in […]

Vance McDonald Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) went through a full practice on Wednesday. McDonald sat out on Sunday night against the Bills, but it looks like he's cleared the league's concussion protocol and is on track to return in Week 16 against the Jets. The matchup is a nice one, but McDonald hasn't gone […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Limited In Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Smith-Schuster hasn't played since Nov. 14 against the Browns and is likely to be questionable for Week 16 against the Jets. The matchup is a very nice one if he returns this weekend, but fantasy owners are best off ignoring […]

Josh Jacobs To Be Held Out In Week 16

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) will be held out of Week 16 against the Chargers due to his lingering shoulder injury. It's a huge blow for owners that have gotten to the fantasy finals on the back of the impressive rookie, who is averaging 4.8 yards per carry with 1,150 rushing yards […]

Greg Olsen Clears Concussion Protocol

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (concussion) is practicing in full on Wednesday. Olsen has been out since Dec. 1, but he looks to be on track to make his return in Week 16 against the Colts. Ian Thomas has filled in nicely in Olsen's return, and the two could split snaps against Indianapolis this […]

Evan Engram To Have Surgery Friday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) said he'll have surgery on Friday for a partial Lisfranc injury. Dr. Robert Anderson will perform the surgery. Engram said he'll be "more than ready" for training camp next summer. The 25-year-old managed to play in just eight games in 2019, thoroughly disappointing his fantasy owners at […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Plans To Stick With Browns

Amid trade rumors, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. said that he wants to see things with the team through. "I’m not going anywhere. I’ll be here," Beckham said. OBJ has been a big disappointment with Cleveland in his first year, but quarterback Baker Mayfield's struggles have contributed. Beckham has 67 catches on 121 […]

Corey Davis Limited In Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (ankle) wasn't present in the portion of practice open to the media, but he was listed as limited on the Wednesday injury report. Davis should be able to play in Week 16 against the Saints, but his injury is worth watching as the week progresses. He caught three passes […]
