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 […]

Taylor Gabriel Out Again This Week

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Gabriel hasn't practiced or played since suffering a head injury on Nov. 24 against the Giants. With the Bears eliminated from the playoffs, it's likely Gabriel won't play again this […]

Cubs Considering Joe Panik

The Chicago Cubs have considered signing second baseman Joe Panik this offseason. Chicago is looking for a cheap solution to their keystone opening, and Panik would certainly be that. The 29-year-old lefty hitter slashed only .244/.315/.336 with five home runs, 50 runs, 39 RBI and four stolen bases in 142 games with the Giants and […]

Vance McDonald To Return In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 16 against the Jets. McDonald missed last week but will return on Sunday to face New York. He hasn't gone over 50 yards in a single game the entire season and is coming […]

Blue Jays Interested In Edwin Encarnacion, Travis Shaw

The Toronto Blue Jays are interested in first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion. They've also monitored Travis Shaw, while Mitch Moreland and Eric Thames could also be options. Encarnacion isn't getting any younger -- he'll turn 37 in January -- but he still managed to hit .244/.344/.531 with 34 home runs, 81 runs and 86 RBI […]

Sergio Romo Re-Signing With Twins

The Minnesota Twins and relief pitcher Sergio Romo agreed to a one-year deal on Friday. The deal includes a club option and $5 million guaranteed with a chance to earn $10 million. The 36-year-old reliever went 2-1 with 20 saves and 60 strikeouts in 60 1/3 innings over 65 relief outings with the Marlins and […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Will Play Against Jets

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) wasn't listed on the final injury report for Week 16 against the Jets. Smith-Schuster admitted that his knee still isn't 100 percent, so that's definitely not a ringing endorsement for fantasy owners to use him as a shaky WR3 with fantasy titles on the […]

Adam Humphries Won't Play Against Saints

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Saints. Humphries has been out since Dec. 1 against the Colts, but he wasn't on the fantasy radar to begin with in this run-first offense. The 26-year-old has only 37 catches for 374 yards and two touchdowns on the […]

A.J. Green Officially Ruled Out For Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Dolphins. Green hasn't played all season long and will not suit up for the final two weeks of the regular season. Unfortunately for Green and the Bengals, he's likely played his final game in orange and black. The […]

Joe Mixon Taken Off Final Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (calf) practiced in full on Friday and is expected to have no issues in Week 16 against the Dolphins. He was limited on Thursday but has been taken off the final injury report. Mixon is 75 yards shy of his second 1,000-yard season as one of the few bright […]

Curtis Samuel Questionable Against Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) didn't practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 16 against the Colts on the road. Samuel was a mid-week addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. We'd consider him a true game-time decision this weekend, but luckily the Panthers have an early game […]

Cardinals Want To Re-Sign Kenyan Drake

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that the team "would certainly love to have Kenyan Drake back" in 2020. The Cardinals simply didn't acquire Drake from the Dolphins this year just because both David Johnson and Chase Edmonds were injured at the time. Drake is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent in March, […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Not 100 Percent, Unsure Of Status

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) said he still isn't 100 percent and is unsure if he'll play in Week 16 against the Jets. However, he did practice in full the last two days. Expect Smith-Schuster to receive a questionable tag, although he looks to be much closer to returning to action for the […]

D.J. Chark Expected To Play Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that he expects wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) to play in Week 16 against the Falcons despite his questionable tag on the final injury report. It looks like Chark will wind up missing just one game. In his absence, Chris Conley was the primary beneficiary with two touchdowns […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Not Practicing Friday

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are both out of practice again on Friday. Mattison is working on the side with a strength coach. Both players are on track to sit out on Monday night against the Packers, so you shouldn't plan on having either back for the fantasy finals. […]

Nelson Agholor Could Be Shut Down

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said the team will consider shutting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) down for the rest of the season because his knee has gotten worse. Agholor hasn't practiced all week and is set to miss his third straight game in the biggest contest of the year against the Cowboys, with […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Will Play Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside's (foot) injury isn't serious, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles were just playing it safe when they kept him limited in practice on Thursday, and he will play in the important divisional tilt against the Cowboys this Sunday. Arcega-Whiteside had zero catches in Week 15, however, […]

Kerryon Johnson May Be Limited If He Returns

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said that running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) could be held back somewhat if he comes off Injured Reserve to play in Week 16 against the Broncos. "Don't know if you want to use the word 'limit,' just try to be smart," Patricia said. Johnson could get the start this […]

Rashaad Penny Undergoing ACL Surgery Friday

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is undergoing ACL surgery on Friday, according to a source. The surgery is being performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine. Penny is expected back for the 2020 season, but he might be cutting it close depending on how he bounces back over […]

DeSean Jackson Could Return In Postseason

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) has been running, doing some light sprinting, some light cutting and catching the football, and he could return in the second round of the playoffs if the Eagles beat the Cowboys this Sunday and win the NFC East. D-Jax underwent core surgery on Nov. 5 and is roughly […]

Julian Edelman Expected To Play Saturday

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Bills, is expected to play on Saturday. Fantasy owners never really expected Edelman to miss this important divisional game, even though his injuries held him to just two catches for nine yards in the Week 15 […]

Devante Parker Good To Go For Week 16

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (hip) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. He'll be all systems go in Week 16 in an excellent matchup with the listless Bengals. Parker is having a breakout season with the rebuilding Dolphins, catching 59 passes (102 targets) for 954 yards and […]

Felix Hernandez Unlikely To Return To Seattle

The Seattle Mariners are unlikely to re-sign starting pitcher Felix Hernandez, even to a minor league deal. King Felix didn't have much of a market at the winter meetings in San Diego, and the speculation is that he'll have to settle for a minor league deal if he wants to continue pitching. The veteran right-hander […]

Mariners Interested In Taijuan Walker

The Seattle Mariners are interested in a reunion with starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (elbow) after they drafted him in the first round back in 2010. The 27-year-old right-hander would add depth to a rotation that is rebuilding, and he's still young enough to have upside if he's healthy moving forward. Walker is a bounce-back candidate […]

Twins Still Involved In Josh Donaldson Sweepstakes

The Minnesota Twins and the Nationals are believed to have made four-year offers to third baseman Josh Donaldson. If they sign the 34-year-old, they will move Miguel Sano from the hot corner across the diamond to first base. The Braves and Dodgers remain in the mix as well, but they might be reluctant to go […]

Christian Kirk Back At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. The Cardinals were likely just resting Kirk on Wednesday with only two games remaining in the season. Kirk has mostly been quiet this year with two 100-yard games and three touchdowns (all in one game […]

Josh Donaldson Could Sign Soon

Executives are expecting third baseman Josh Donaldson to sign soon, and it could be a National League East battle between the Nationals and Braves. The belief is the Nationals have the biggest offer -- potentially for four years -- but Donaldson is expected to give the Braves a chance to counter. The Twins, Rangers and […]

Shohei Ohtani Done With Tommy John Rehab

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is done with his Tommy John rehab and has been cleared to return to Japan. The Japanese two-way star will return in late January, at which time the Angels will plan out his workload for the 2020 season. Los Angeles is understandably being cautious with the […]
