Baker Mayfield Back At Practice On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) was practicing on Thursday during the portion open to the media. Mayfield was held out of the first practice of the week on Wednesday while tending to a knee issue, but the fact that he's back out there on Thursday means that he should be good to go […]

Alec Pierce Working Off To The Side On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) was seen doing some agility work off to the side during the team's practice on Thursday. Pierce is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday and is missing his second straight practice on Thursday. […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Back At Practice On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (back) is practicing on Thursday after resting his back on Wednesday. Pittman has been managing a back injury of late, but he managed to play 96 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos and caught six of his nine targets for […]

Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor Miss Thursday's Practice

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Rashod Bateman (foot) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) were both missing from practice on Thursday. Agholor was working on a side field but is unlikely to play on Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers after not practicing on Tuesday or Wednesday. Bateman, meanwhile, popped up on the Week 16 injury report on […]

Russell Wilson Wants To Stay In Pittsburgh

When asked if he would like to run it back with the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2025, quarterback Russell Wilson said, "Hopefully, I love it here. It's cool. Hopefully we're going to win a Super Bowl."

Isaac Guerendo Unlikely To Play In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and is unlikely to play in Week 16 versus the hosting Miami Dolphins at Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday, according to a source.

Dolphins Not Concerned About Tua Tagovailoa's Hip Injury

The Miami Dolphins have no concerns about quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) being limited at practice due to a hip injury on Wednesday as the team prepares to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Week 16. "No concern with us," offensive coordinator Frank Smith said. Tagovailoa appears to be a little beat up coming […]

Chargers Plan To Activate Hayden Hurst For Thursday's Game

The Los Angeles Chargers plan to activate tight end Hayden Hurst (hip) from Injured Reserve to play in Thursday's divisional clash against the visiting Denver Broncos, according to a source. Hurst landed on IR in late November with a hip injury, but he has practiced in full since having his 21-day practice window opened this […]

Chiefs Plan To Activate Marquise Brown For Saturday's Game

The Kansas City Chiefs plan to activate wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) from Injured Reserve for Saturday's game against the Houston Texans, according to sources, assuming everything continues to trend positive for Brown this week.

Free-agent right-hander Griffin Canning and the New York Mets agreed to a one-year, $4.25 million deal on Wednesday, pending a physical, according to sources.

Broncos D/ST Has Lower Ceiling In Week 16

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit checks in as the top defense in fantasy football heading into a big divisional meeting against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night in Week 16. The Broncos defense also leads the NFL with 49 sacks and defensive touchdowns with three in 14 games. Although they are probably still […]

Wil Lutz A Low-End Fantasy Starter Against Chargers

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has been money for fantasy managers in 2024, but he'll have a little less upside in a Week 16 divisional matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night. In the Week 6 loss to the Bolts, Lutz made his only field-goal attempt and just one extra point. Lutz will […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Can't Be Trusted In Fantasy Lineups

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. shouldn't be in starting fantasy lineups when the Broncos take on the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football. Mims caught three passes for a season-high 105 yards in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns thanks to a 93-yard touchdown reception. He […]

Devaughn Vele Looking To Get Back On The Stat Sheet In Week 16

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele was starting to slowly become Denver's No. 2 wideout behind Courtland Sutton with 14 receptions on 18 targets for 185 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 10-12, but in two games since then, he's completely disappeared. In wins over the Browns and Colts in Weeks 13 and 15, […]

Zach Charbonnet Misses Practice With Oblique Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (oblique) is on the Week 16 injury report and was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Kenneth Walker III (calf) missed yet another practice after sitting out the last two games. With both of Seattle's top RBs dealing with injuries, Kenny […]

Continue To Roll With Courtland Sutton In Week 16

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been the WR12 with an average of 15.2 half-PPR points in the last five weeks thanks to 24 receptions on 36 targets for 309 yards and three touchdowns. Because of how often rookie QB Bo Nix targets Sutton -- his 113 targets on the year rank ninth among […]

Audric Estime Set For Bigger Role, Still Can't Be Trusted Against Chargers

Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime will inevitably see the field more in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers with Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) ruled out. But will it be enough of a role to make him flex-worthy for fantasy managers in semifinal matchups in most leagues? Probably not. […]

Javonte Williams Will See More Opportunities In Week 16

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams could very well lead Denver's backfield in the Week 16 divisional game on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 after Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) being ruled out. However, Williams could be splitting touches pretty evenly with rookie Audric Estime, and the matchup is not a friendly […]

Bo Nix A Shaky QB1 Option In Divisional Tilt On The Road

It's probably tempting for fantasy managers to start Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix in Week 16 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers after Tampa QB Baker Mayfield lit them up for four touchdowns in a blowout win last week. However, you may want to think twice. Nix has exceeded expectations in his first year […]

Nolan Arenado Blocks Trade To Astros

The Houston Astros and St. Louis Cardinals were in talks on a potential trade involving third baseman Nolan Arenado, but Arenado informed the Cardinals that he will not waive his no-trade clause to go to the Astros.

Jakobi Meyers Still On The Injury Report

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) remains on the Week 16 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice. Meyers also had his practice reps limited a bit last week due to his ankle injury, but he was eventually cleared and played in the Week 15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited In Practice With Hip Injury

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury. It's a new injury for Tagovailoa, but the fact that he's practicing at all in the first session of the week is a sign the injury likely isn't serious enough to keep him from playing in Week 16 versus […]

DeVonta Smith Rested While Managing Back Issue

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (back) was rested in the first practice of the week on Wednesday while managing a back injury. Smith missed Weeks 12 and 13 due to a hamstring injury, but now he's managing a minor back injury that shouldn't put him in danger of missing Week 16 against the division-rival […]

A.J. Brown Rested On Wednesday, Not Listed With Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown was rested during Wednesday's practice and wasn't listed with an injury designation on the first report of Week 16. It's a good sign for Brown after he got up slow after a tackle late in the Week 15 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Eagles greased the squeaky wheel […]

T.J. Watt Upgrades To Limited Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (ankle) was upgraded to a limited practice participant on Wednesday after he didn't practice on Tuesday. Meanwhile, safety DeShon Elliott (hamstring) and cornerback Donte Jackson (back) didn't practice, while defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi (groin) was limited. Watt suffered a low-ankle sprain late in the Week 15 loss to the Philadelphia […]

CeeDee Lamb Limited On Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) continues to battle through a shoulder injury and was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Lamb suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder back in Week 9 and has been managing the issue ever since, although he has not missed any time because of it. The 25-year-old's fantasy […]

Marquise Brown Puts In Another Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) put in another day of full practice on Wednesday and looks well on his way to making his team debut on Saturday in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Hollywood injured his left shoulder in the preseason and required surgery, causing him to miss his entire first […]

Buccaneers List Baker Mayfield As DNP On Wednesday

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers listed quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday due to a knee injury. It's unclear as of right now if Mayfield's knee injury is serious enough to keep him out of Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night or if […]
