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 […]

Pete Carroll Lands Contract Extension

The Seattle Seahawks signed head coach Pete Carroll to a contract extension that runs through the 2021 season on Monday. Seattle secured their seventh playoff berth in nine seasons with Carroll at the helm by beating the Chiefs in Week 16. Carroll is the NFL's oldest head coach at 67 years old. The Seahawks have […]

Eagles Activate Mike Wallace

The Philadelphia Eagles activated wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) from Injured Reserve on Monday. He fractured his fibula against the Buccaneers on Sept. 16 and hasn't played since. The veteran deep threat had no catches on three targets in his two games with the Eagles this year but had a 1,000-yard season as recently as […]

Chargers Won't Rest Players Against Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he will not be resting players in Week 17 against the Broncos. “We’re going into this game no different than any other game,” Lynn said. “We’re not worrying about resting people. We’re trying to win the game. Herm Edwards said it best – you play to win.” […]

James Conner Questionable For Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that running back James Conner (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Bengals in a must-win game. Conner has missed the last three games, but his status will depend on how much he can do in practice this week. If he sits out again, rookie […]

A's Hoping Sean Manaea Will Return At Midseason

Oakland Athletics president of baseball operations Billy Beane said the team is optimistic that starting pitcher Sean Manaea (shoulder) will be able to return next year around the All-Star break. The left-hander had left shoulder surgery in September, which was called a subacromial decompression of his labrum. Manaea had a career year in 2018, going […]

Saints Not Tipping Their Hand For Week 17

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that the team will approach their Week 17 game against the Panthers like any other regular season game and try to win. New Orleans is already locked into the No. 1 overall seed throughout the NFC playoffs, so it doesn't make much sense to risk […]

Tevin Coleman Has Strained Groin

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that running back Tevin Coleman (groin) strained his groin in Week 16. He will take part in walkthrough practices this week and is getting treatment. The Falcons aren't ruling him out for Week 17 against the Buccaneers, and he has a good chance to play. As long as […]

Marquise Goodwin, Garrett Celek Dealing With Injuries

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (calf) and tight end Garrett Celek (concussion) are dealing with injuries heading into the Week 17 season finale against the Rams. Their statuses will be updated during practice on Wednesday. Goodwin has dealt with injuries off and on the whole season and has been a fantasy bust after […]

Matt Breida Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) will not play in Week 17 against the Rams after aggravating his ankle injury early in the Week 16 loss to the Bears. Breida's season will mercifully come to an end after playing hurt for most of the season. Despite the bum ankle, he ran 153 times […]

Rashaad Penny Expected To Return In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) "should come roaring back this week." Penny has missed the last two games but appears to be on track to play in the regular season finale in Week 17 against the Cardinals. Even though Carroll isn't expected to rest his starters, […]

Seahawks Not Expected To Rest Players

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is not a fan of resting players despite having a playoff spot clinched. Seattle is locked into either the No. 5 or 6 seed in the NFC playoffs, but they aren't expected to rest their starters in Week 17 against the Cardinals. Expect Russell Wilson, Chris Carson, Doug Baldwin, […]

Mike Wallace Returning To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg), who has been on Injured Reserve with a broken leg, will take part in individual drills in practice this week. Wallace hasn't played since Sept. 16 and didn't have a catch on three targets in his two games. It's a long shot that the Eagles will even make […]

Josh Johnson To Start In Week 17; Colt McCoy Not Ready

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden made it clear on Monday that quarterback Josh Johnson will finish the season as the starter in Week 17 against the Eagles. Colt McCoy broke his leg in early December and was hoping to return before the end of the season, but he is not ready. Johnson has thrown […]

Austin Ekeler Expected To Return In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he expects running back Austin Ekeler (concussion, neck) to play in Week 17 against the Broncos. The Chargers are still playing for the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the AFC playoffs, so getting Ekeler back as the change-of-pace back to Melvin Gordon would be big. […]

Eli Manning To Close Out Season Under Center

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will start in Week 17 against the Cowboys in the season finale, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Despite the coaching staff seemingly in favor of bringing back Manning in 2019 as the starter, this has the potential to be his final home game with the Giants. Manning did […]

Lamar Miller Has A Chance To Face Jaguars

Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien said that running back Lamar Miller (ankle) has a chance to return in Week 17 against the Jaguars. Miller sat out the Week 16 loss to the Eagles, but he seems truly questionable to return for the regular season finale in a tough draw against Jacksonville. If Miller misses […]

Nick Foles To Start In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that quarterback Nick Foles will start in Week 17 against the Redskins. Forget FitzMagic, we're all about the Foles magic. After leading a big upset over the Rams in Week 15, Foles pulled off a huge comeback win at home over the Texans in a must-win […]

Jermaine Kearse Dealing With Achilles Injury

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Jermaine Kearse (Achilles) suffered an Achilles injury in Week 16 against the Packers and is having tests done on Monday. Kearse had four catches for 55 yards on Sunday, which was actually one of his better games of the season. Even with Quincy Enunwa […]
