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.

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.

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 […]

Greg Zuerlein Planning To Kick Saturday

The plan is for Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (quadriceps) to play in Week 16 against the 49ers on Saturday, according to a source. Zuerlein didn't get in much practice this week and is listed as questionable for the game, but the Rams didn't sign kicker Brett Maher after working him out on Thursday. […]

Alexander Mattison Questionable Against Packers

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) got in a limited practice on Saturday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Packers on Monday night. With Dalvin Cook (shoulder) being ruled out, Mattison could have RB2 upside in a good matchup against the Packers if he plays, but at less than 100 percent […]

Ian Kinsler Announces Retirement

14-year veteran second baseman Ian Kinsler (neck) announced his retirement from baseball on Friday. The 37-year-old said the herniated cervical disc that ended his 2019 season with the Padres in August played a factor in his decision. He'll end his career just one hit shy of 2,000, with 257 home runs, 909 RBI and 243 […]

Martin Maldonado Returns To Astros

The Houston Astros re-signed catcher Martin Maldonado to a two-year, $7 million deal on Friday, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deal. The defensive whiz played in just 27 games for the Astros last year after being acquired from the Cubs. He's certainly a better real-life player than a fantasy one, as he […]

Week 16 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

We're finally here. Week 16. The week that all fantasy owners envisioned themselves playing in for a fantasy title when they were drafting their teams this Fall. If you were lucky enough to make it this far, kudos to you. It surely took plenty of savvy waiver wire pickups and an opportunistic trade or two […]

Jadeveon Clowney Doubtful Against Cardinals

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (core) and safety Quandre Diggs (ankle) are both listed as doubtful for Week 16 against the Cardinals. Cornerback Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) and linebacker Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) are both questionable. Clowney's absence would be big for a Seattle defensive front that is limping to the finish line. The 26-year-old pass-rusher […]

Robby Anderson Questionable

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (illness) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Steelers. Wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) didn't practice all week and is doubtful to play. Anderson is expected to suit up this Sunday, where he and Jamison Crowder will be quarterback Sam […]

Bo Scarbrough Questionable Against Broncos

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 16 against the Broncos. All signs point to Kerryon Johnson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve to play this Sunday, but if he doesn't, it'll be some combination of rookies Wes Hills, Ty Johnson and J.D. […]

Damien Williams Cleared To Face Bears

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (rib) has been cleared to play on Sunday night against the Bears, as he wasn't listed on the final injury report for Week 16.

Christian Kirk A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 16 against the Seahawks. This makes things complicated, since the Cardinals play a late-afternoon tilt this weekend. If Kirk is inactive, Larry Fitzgerald will have WR3 upside in a solid matchup. He caught all five […]

Saints Defense To Be Without Vonn Bell, Kiko Alonso

New Orleans Saints safety Vonn Bell (knee) and linebacker Kiko Alonso (quadriceps) both missed practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 16 against the Titans. Bell and Alonso are key contributors to the Saints solid offense, so they will surely be missed this Sunday against the Titans on the road. Their absences […]

Leighton Vander Esch Still Out

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Eagles in an all-important divisional tilt that will likely determine the winner of the NFC East. There's a chance that LVE doesn't make it back at all the rest of the year, even if […]

Nelson Agholor, Jordan Howard Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) and running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Cowboys. Agholor missed practice all week and is unlikely to play. He could also be shut down for Week 17 and beyond it the Eagles make the postseason. J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and […]

Questionable Tag For Noah Fant

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Lions. Fant got in limited practices this week and should be fine to play after playing through the shoulder ailment in the Week 15 game against the Chiefs. Rookie quarterback Drew Lock's presence under center elevates Fant's upside, […]

Dak Prescott Set To Start Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) was limited in practice all week, but he's not being listed on the final injury report for Week 16 against the Eagles in a game that essentially will crown the winner as the NFC East champion, according to a source. Prescott will start on Sunday, and while he might […]
