Rashaad Penny Practicing In Full

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. After missing the last two games, Penny is on track to return in Week 17 in a great matchup against the Cardinals. With Seattle possible resting Chris Carson as well, Penny could see more than his usual number of snaps, making him […]

Doug Baldwin Misses Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Baldwin, but he's often rested early in the week as he's battled through various injuries this year. Baldwin hasn't been seeing as many targets this year in a run-first offense, but he had a season-high seven catches on […]

Jared Cook, Jalen Richard Limited In Practice

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook (ribs) and running back Jalen Richard (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine for the Week 17 season finale against the Chiefs. It's a matchup that should require the Raiders to throw the ball often, which would benefit both Cook and Richard. Cook […]

Tom Brady Intends To Play Beyond 2019

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady intends to play past 2019, the final year of his current contract. "I absolutely believe I will. I know I've talked about it for a long time: I have goals to not only play next year, but beyond that," Brady said in his weekly interview on Westwood One. The […]

Padres Talking Corey Kluber

The San Diego Padres are engaged with the Cleveland Indians in trade talks surrounding starting pitcher Corey Kluber, according to sources. However, one person with knowledge of the talks doesn't think the Padres have passed the Dodgers as the favorites for Kluber yet. Cleveland's return in the deal with San Diego could include one or […]

Allen Robinson On Week 17 Injury Report

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (ribs) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. In a tough matchup with an injury to boot, Robinson's fantasy value heading into the regular season finale will be down. He did have six catches for 85 yards in Week 16, but A-Rob hasn't gone over 100 yards or […]

LeGarrette Blount Has New Injury

Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Blount has been playing through injuries in recent weeks and remains highly unproductive for Detroit. He ran the ball 11 times for just 29 yards in Week 16 and is averaging 2.8 yards per carry this year. He should […]

Tavon Austin Nearing A Return

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (groin) practiced in full on Wednesday. Austin hasn't played since Oct. 14 and has a measly seven catches (10 targets) for 130 yards and two touchdowns on the season. However, he could be in play as a deep DFS sleeper if he returns against the Giants in Week 17. […]

Sterling Shepard Limited In Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. With Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) and Russell Shepard (ankle) both still sidelined, Shepard would remain in line to be the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Eli Manning against Dallas in Week 17. Shepard has seen increased targets and production in the […]

Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Not Practicing

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, ribs) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Jones has been fighting through injuries as usual but continues to play. While Jones had a quiet day last Sunday, he did have his fourth touchdown in the last three games. He had 10 catches for […]

Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Miller sat out in Week 16 and Coutee hasn't played since Nov. 26 against the Titans. Miller should return to a lead-back role if he's active against the Jaguars. It's a tough matchup, however, […]

Leonard Fournette, D.J. Chark Both Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday, while rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) practiced in full. Fournette saw a full complement of touches in the Week 16 win over the Dolphins and should suit up in the regular season finale against the Texans. It's a tough matchup, […]

Austin Ekeler Out Of Concussion Protocol

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) is out of the concussion protocol, and head coach Anthony Lynn fully expects Ekeler to return in the Week 17 season finale against the Broncos. Ekeler hasn't played since Dec. 9, but he should immediately return to his change-of-pace role behind Melvin Gordon. Ekeler had a quiet […]

Spencer Ware On Track To Return

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday. Ware has missed the last two games but looks on his way to returning in Week 17 against the Raiders. In an excellent matchup, Ware would have low-end RB2 value if he's active this Sunday. Hurting his upside is the fact that […]

James Conner Practices In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday for the first time since he injured his ankle on Dec. 2. Conner has a real shot at returning for a must-win Week 17 game against the Bengals after missing the last three games. He'd have immediate RB2 upside […]

Todd Gurley Won't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (knee) will not take part in Wednesday's walkthrough practice. Gurley remains day-to-day after sitting out in Week 16. He's a question mark again this week for the regular season finale. If he misses his second straight game, C.J. Anderson will be the […]

Cowboys To Play Healthy Starters

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team will play all of their healthy starters in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Giants. “We’re just going to take all those guys’ situations day by day and really the overarching theme is anybody who is healthy and ready to play is going to play […]

Blake Bortles To Start Season Finale

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback Blake Bortles will start in Week 17 against the Texans. Bortles was benched in favor of Cody Kessler several weeks ago, but the Jags will go back to Bortles after Kessler predictably failed. Bortles has more upside than Kessler, but he's been awful in his own […]

Quincy Enunwa, Jermaine Kearse Not Practicing

New York Jets wide receivers Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Jermaine Kearse (Achilles) were not practicing on Wednesday. Both seem like long shots to play in Week 17 against the Patriots. If that's the case, Robby Anderson, Andre Roberts, Charone Peake and rookie Deontay Burnett would be the active receivers. Anderson has been hot in recent […]

Marquise Goodwin Held Out Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (Achilles, calf) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Goodwin is limping to the finish line and has dealt with injuries all year as a major fantasy bust in 2018. It's not looking good for his status for Week 17 against the Rams, and he'd be a dart […]

DeSean Jackson Does Not Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) did not practice on Wednesday. Jackson returned in Week 16 for the first time since Oct. 25 and had just one catch for 24 yards before departing the game. He's now questionable to play in the Week 17 finale against the Falcons and wouldn't even be a […]

Still No Tyler Boyd At Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (knee) wasn't seen at practice on Wednesday. Boyd missed last week and isn't expected to play in Week 17 against the Steelers while battling a knee sprain. John Ross has become the team's No. 1 receiver, but he's nothing more than a boom/bust WR4/flex play in deeper leagues with […]

John Brown Misses Practice

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday and his status for Week 17 against the Browns is unclear. Brown looked comfortable walking around the locker room on Wednesday and might just be receiving some rest ahead of a crucial game. Even if Brown plays, he's not a safe fantasy play, as […]

Marcus Mariota Sitting Out Wednesday

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (foot, neck) is sitting out of practice on Wednesday but said he's doing "everything in my power" in order to play in the Week 17 must-win game against the Colts on Sunday night. He admitted that his whole right side was "numb and tingly" when he took a hit last […]

Eric Ebron To Be Limited Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that tight end Eric Ebron (concussion) will be limited in practice on Wednesday, which is a good sign for his availability in a must-win Week 17 game against the Titans. Ebron was a bust to fantasy owners in Week 16 after he suffered the injury early, but it's […]

Davante Adams, Equanimeous St. Brown, Randall Cobb Out

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (knee), Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) and Randall Cobb (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a concern for quarterback Aaron Rodgers heading into the Week 17 finale against the Lions. Cobb missed last week and is unlikely to play in the season finale. As long as Adams and […]

Taylor Heinicke Placed On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed quarterback Taylor Heinicke (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a left elbow injury. Quarterback Garrett Gilbert was signed in a corresponding move. Heinicke started just one game in place of Cam Newton (shoulder) before being injured. Rookie Kyle Allen should see his first career start in Week 17 in a […]

No Practice For Leonard Fournette Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. Fournette had 18 carries and three catches in Week 16, but the Jaguars could elect to shut him down or limit his snaps in Week 17 against the Texans. If he's active, Fournette will be more of a low-end RB2 in a […]

Marcus Mariota Fighting To Play In Week 17

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is working his way back from a stinger he suffered on Saturday night in Week 16, but his status for the Week 17 must-win game against the Colts likely won't come into further focus until later this week. “Just taking it day to day,” Mariota said during his regular weekly […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) will not practice on Wednesday. Beckham is improving, but Shurmur remains unsure if he'll be healthy to play in the Week 17 finale against the Cowboys in a meaningless game. OBJ has now missed the last three games and doesn't […]
