Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor Out Against Dallas

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) are both officially inactive for Week 16 against the Cowboys. This comes as no surprise. Howard has missed the last six games and Agholor will miss his third straight contest. If the Eagles lose this battle for the NFC East title, expect […]

Christian Kirk Active Against Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) is officially active for Week 16 against the Seahawks. Kirk was expected to play coming into this one. The second-year wideout hasn't really done much other than a three-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers, but he's still the most attractive Arizona receiver as a boom-or-bust WR3. Veteran Larry Fitzgerald […]

Noah Fant Active In Week 16

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (illness, shoulder) is officially active for Week 16 against the Lions. Fant was never really in danger of missing this game after playing through the injury last week. The matchup is a really good one and rookie quarterback Drew Lock gives Fant more upside as a TE2, but […]

Bo Scarbrough Active Against Broncos

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is active for Week 16 against the Broncos. Scarbrough is returning after a one-week absence, but he won't be fantasy relevant for the fantasy finals with Kerryon Johnson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve. Johnson could have his snaps limited after a two-month absence, but his presence alone in […]

Dwayne Haskins Injures Ankle In Week 16

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) left the Week 16 game against the Giants with a left ankle injury and is questionable to return. Case Keenum has replaced the rookie signal-caller in the third quarter. Haskins was walking the sideline under his own power with a slight limp but was later carted off for […]

Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith Injured Sunday

Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks Marcus Peters (chest) and Jimmy Smith (cramps) were both injured in Week 16 against the Browns. Peters is questionable to return after dealing a hard hit to running back Dontrell Hilliard. Peters has been an excellent midseason acquisition to the Rams, as his arrival coincided with Baltimore's resurgence overall as a defense. […]

White Sox Talking With Edwin Encarnacion

The Chicago White Sox had talks with first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion at the winter meetings and since. Encarnacion will turn 37 next month, but he still managed to hit .244/.344/.531 with 34 home runs and 86 RBI in 418 at-bats with the Mariners and Yankees. Staying in New York would be ideal for his […]

Blue Jays Make Offers To Hyun-Jin Ryu, Edwin Encarnacion

The Toronto Blue Jays have made competitive offers to starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu and first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion. The Jays are still looking to upgrade their rotation after adding Tanner Roark. Ryu has been flying under the radar despite going 14-5 with a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 163 strikeouts in 182 2/3 innings […]

Blue Jays Sign Travis Shaw

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with infielder Travis Shaw on Sunday, according to a source. The deal includes $675,000 in performance bonuses. Shaw hit 30-plus homers in 2017 and 2018 with the Brewers, but he tanked in 2019 and was demoted to Triple-A San Antonio in 2019, hitting .157 […]

D.J. Moore Won't Return In Week 16

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) will not return to the Week 16 game against the Colts after suffering a concussion. Moore caught one of two targets for a measly one yard before his head injury, so he'll wind up being a Week 16 fantasy bust at the worst time. […]

James Conner Injured In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (thigh) is questionable to return in Week 16 against the Jets with a thigh injury. It's not a huge surprise, as Conner has been a disappointment to fantasy owners this year because of injuries. Conner ran the ball six times for 32 yards before departing, and he wasn't targeted […]

Mason Rudolph Takes Over For Devlin Hodges

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has replaced Devlin Hodges under center in Week 16 against the Jets. Hodges came into this one on a short leash after throwing four interceptions in the Week 15 loss to the Bills, and he was yanked against New York after going 7-for-9 for 53 yards and two more picks. […]

D.J. Moore Suffers Head Injury Against Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) suffered a head injury in Week 16 against the Colts and is being evaluated for a concussion. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return in this game, but it would obviously be a huge loss for fantasy owners on championship weekend. Moore caught one […]

Doug Marrone, Dave Caldwell Have Chance To Stick Around

There is a "good chance" that both Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell return in 2020 following the firing of executive vice president Tom Coughlin, according to sources. Heading into Week 16, Jacksonville sits in last place in the AFC South with a 5-9 record. Free-agent signing Nick Foles broke […]

Browns Not Planning To Trade Odell Beckham Jr.

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly told wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. that they have no plans to trade him this offseason despite his frustrating first year with the team. Beckham also said himself earlier in the week that he has no plans of going anywhere for the 2020 season and beyond. OBJ hasn't performed up […]

Akiem Hicks Won't Play Sunday Night

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Hicks was activated from Injured Reserve before Week 15, and he played 36 of 59 snaps against the Packers. Hicks' absence is a notable loss for a strong Chicago defensive front, and his absence will […]

Nelson Agholor Not Expected To Face Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) is not expected to play in Week 16 against the Cowboys, according to a source. Agholor missed practice all week and is fully expected to miss his third straight game. Especially if the Eagles lose this all-important divisional contest, Agholor will likely be ruled out for Week 17 […]

Derrick Henry Officially Out Against Saints

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) is officially out for Week 16 against the Saints. Things were trending this way when Henry was downgraded to questionable on Saturday, and now fantasy owners will be without the most productive running back in the second half of the season for the fantasy finals. That's a really […]

Robby Anderson, Jamal Adams Active

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (illness) and safety Jamal Adams (ankle) are active for Week 16 against the Steelers, but wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will sit out. Anderson was expected to play the entire time, but he'll face a tough matchup with Pittsburgh's strong secondary in this one. Consider Anderson a […]

Curtis Samuel Active For Week 16

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) is officially active for Week 16 against the Colts. Samuel has scored in two of his last three games, but he hasn't gone over 100 yards in a single game this season and is even more risky as a WR3 with rookie quarterback Will Grier making his first […]

Ronnie Stanley Returning For Ravens

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is active in Week 16 against the Browns. Stanley, a Pro Bowler in 2019, is returning after missing the Week 15 contest. It's an upgrade to Baltimore's entire offensive line and for MVP candidate Lamar Jackson under center. Baltimore's offense is […]

D.J. Chark Active Against Falcons

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) is active for Week 16 against the Falcons. Chark will return to No. 1 wideout duties after missing just one week. His presence will be a downgrade for both Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley, who took advantage of Chark's absence in Week 15 by scoring two touchdowns. The […]

Lions Activate Kerryon Johnson From Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions are activating running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a source. He is eligible to play in Week 16 against the Broncos after being out since Week 7. The long layoff assures that the Lions will play it safe with Johnson and limit his snaps this Sunday. […]

Derrick Henry Now Questionable For Week 16

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) was downgraded to questionable on Saturday for the Week 16 game against the Saints on Sunday. He was a full participant in Friday's practice and wasn't listed on the final injury report. The Titans also promoted running back Dalyn Dawkins from the practice squad on Saturday, which is […]

C.J. Cron Heading To Tigers

The Detroit Tigers signed first baseman C.J. Cron to a one-year, $6.1 million deal on Saturday, according to a source. The 29-year-old will be the starting first baseman for the rebuilding Tigers in 2020 after recording a career-high 78 RBI while hitting .253 with 23 home runs and a .311 on-base percentage in 125 games […]

Tigers Reach Deal With Jonathan Schoop

The Detroit Tigers signed second baseman Jonathan Schoop to a one-year, $6.1 million deal on Saturday, according to a source. Schoop is expected to be the starting second baseman and hit in the middle of the order for a rebuilding Tigers squad in 2020. The 28-year-old hit .256 with 23 home runs, 59 RBI and […]

J.J. Watt Could Play In Week 17

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) should begin practicing soon and could return in Week 17 if the team has yet to lock up a playoff berth. If Houston clinches a playoff spot by beating the Buccaneers on Saturday, the Texans will hold Watt out and wait to activate him from Injured Reserve until […]

Will Fuller Injured Saturday

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) is questionable to return in Week 16 on Saturday against the Buccaneers with a groin injury. The oft-injured deep threat has once again dealt with nagging lower-body injuries this season, and now he has another one to deal with. Fuller caught both of his targets for 11 yards […]

Darren Sproles To Retire After Season

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hip) will retire at the end of the season, ending his 15-year career. Sproles is currently out for the season with a torn right hip flexor. "I gave it everything I had on every play," Sproles said. The 36-year-old pint-sized back ran for 66 yards on just 17 carries […]

Buccaneers To Bring Back Jameis Winston In 2020

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to bring back quarterback Jameis Winston for the 2020 season, according to sources. He's slated to get tagged in some form, but the exact type is unknown. The former No. 1 overall pick has led the Buccaneers to four straight wins and has gone over 400 yards passing in […]
