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.

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.

Quincy Enunwa Unlikely To Play In Week 17

New York Jets head coach Todd Bowles said the chances are "slim" that wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) will play in Week 17 against the Patriots. It will mean that Enunwa will finish off the season missing the final three games. He has 38 catches (68 targets) for 449 yards and only one touchdown in […]

Ryan Tannehill To Start In Week 17

Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said quarterback Ryan Tannehill will start in Week 17 against the Bills. The Dolphins will roll with their starters despite being eliminated from the playoffs after a Week 16 loss to the Jaguars. How long Tannehill will actually stay in the game is another question, but he's still a […]

Cowboys Not Planning To Rest Starters?

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones seemed adamant that the team wouldn't be resting their starters in Week 17 against the Giants despite clinching the NFC East title with a win over the Buccaneers in Week 16. “Absolutely. We’re all-out. We’ve got work to do. We’ve got some work to do out here, I think we’ll […]

Taylor Heinicke Getting MRI

Carolina Panthers quarterback Taylor Heinicke (elbow) is undergoing an MRI exam on his left elbow on Monday, according to head coach Ron Rivera. Heinicke left the game for a bit in Week 16 against the Falcons after being injured, but he returned and finished the game. He was predictably inconsistent and went 33-for-53 for 274 […]

Christian McCaffrey Could Be Rested

While Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera won't officially say whether running back Christian McCaffrey will be rested in Week 17 against the Saints, he admitted "we need to be smart" and that it could be a good time "to evaluate" their younger players. McCaffrey has already become only the third player in NFL history […]

Marcus Mariota Dealing With UCL Injury Again

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (elbow), who suffered what was believed to be a stinger in Week 16 on Saturday, is actually dealing with another ulnar collateral ligament injury in his right elbow.

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee), who was a surprise inactive in Week 16 against the Cardinals, may be held out for a second straight game in Week 17 against the 49ers to ensure that he is close to 100 percent for the start of the postseason. With fantasy championships on the line, […]

Dante Pettis Won't Play In Season Finale

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) suffered an MCL injury in the Week 16 loss to the Bears. He will not require surgery, but Pettis won't play in Week 17 against the Rams. Pettis caught three of his five targets for 21 yards on Sunday, so he wasn't of much help to his […]

Tevin Coleman Injures Groin

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman (groin) left the game early in the second half with a groin injury in Week 16 against the Panthers and is questionable to return. Late in the game, we'd be surprised if Coleman returns in a meaningless game. As he often does, Coleman was a bust in a lead-back […]

Demaryius Thomas Believed To Have Torn Achilles

Updating a previous report, Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (Achilles) is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles in Week 16 against the Eagles, according to a source. He was carted off the field and is undergoing more tests to confirm. It would obviously be a season-ending injury for Thomas and would put his […]

Demaryius Thomas Carted Off

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (leg) was carted off the field in the second half of Week 16 against the Eagles with an apparent leg injury. It has the looks of a substantial injury that will end Thomas' season, but stay tuned for more details on his injury. Thomas was seeing low volume in […]

Jamaal Williams In Concussion Protocol

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) is in the concussion protocol in Week 16 against the Jets and is questionable to return. The good news is that those that started Williams in the fantasy finals were rewarded before his injury, as he ran the ball 10 times for 70 yards and a touchdown […]

Ted Ginn Active In Week 16

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn (knee) is active for Week 16 against the Steelers for the first time since Sept. 30 against the Giants.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Officially Active

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (groin) is officially active in Week 16 against the Saints.

As the team's No. 2 behind Antonio Brown in a game that […]

DeSean Jackson Questionable To Return

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (foot) is questionable to return after suffering a foot injury in Week 16 against the Cowboys. He had just one catch on three targets in the first half and was an extremely risky WR4/5 coming into this game after missing the previous three games. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin […]

Eric Ebron Suffers Concussion

Indianapolis Colts tight end Eric Ebron (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 16 against the Giants and will not return. It's a big loss for owners playing for a fantasy championship.

J.J. Nelson Inactive In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver J.J. Nelson (illness) is inactive in Week 16 against the Rams. Tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (illness) is active.

Williams is returning for the first time since before Halloween and cannot be trusted in fantasy […]

Todd Gurley Ruled Out Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley (knee) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Cardinals, according to a source. Gurley's owners will be seriously depressed as they try to win a fantasy title without him this weekend. You'll have to find a backup plan for the afternoon slate. Justin Davis is active, […]

Travis d'Arnaud Avoids Arbitration

New York Mets catcher Travis D'Arnaud avoided salary arbitration on Saturday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.515 million deal. d'Arnaud continues to be plagued by injuries and only played in four games last year for the Mets. As a result, New York brought in Wilson Ramos to be the primary catcher in 2019. That means […]

Joey Gallo Won't Play Third Base In 2019

Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that outfielder/first baseman Joey Gallo will not play third base next year despite the team trading away infielder Jurickson Profar. Texas prefers Gallo either in the outfielder or at first base. So Gallo will not be adding third base eligibility back to his name next year, unfortunately. The […]

Padres Discussing Marcus Stroman Trade

The San Diego Padres are engaged in trade talks for Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Marcus Stroman, according to sources. However, there wasn't tangible progress toward a deal as of Saturday night. The Padres have one of the best farm systems in baseball, and pitching prospects Michael Baez and/or Logan Allen could be involved. Baez […]

Cubs Sign Kendall Graveman

The Chicago Cubs signed free-agent starting pitcher Kendall Graveman (elbow) on Saturday. Graveman had Tommy John surgery earlier this year and will miss all of the 2019 season, but he'll have a $3 million option for the 2020 season. The right-hander was the Opening Day starter for Oakland last year but had a 7.60 ERA […]

A's Re-Sign Mike Fiers

The Oakland Athletics re-signed starting pitcher Mike Fiers to a two-year deal that could be worth up to $15 million on Saturday. The 33-year-old is coming off his best season in the big leagues, going 12-8 with a 3.56 ERA with the Tigers and A's. As long as Fiers can continue limiting his walks, there […]

Albert Pujols Taking Batting Practice

Los Angeles Angels first baseman Albert Pujols (elbow) started taking batting practice last Monday, and general manager Billy Eppler said that Pujols feels good.

T.J. Yeldon A Healthy Scratch

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon is a healthy scratch in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) and kicker Josh Lambo (groin) also remain out. Last week Carlos Hyde was a healthy scratch, but this week it's Yeldon. Hyde and rookie David Williams will back up Leonard Fournette, but neither […]

T.Y. Hilton Active Against Giants

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is active for Week 16 against the Giants. Hilton has been fighting through injuries the last couple weeks and has missed a lot of practice time, but he's still active on game days. He's been one of the more consistent receivers for fantasy owners over the last four […]

Chris Ivory, Charles Clay Inactive

Buffalo Bills running back Chris Ivory (shoulder) and tight end Charles Clay are inactive for Week 16 against the Patriots. Ivory practiced in full late in the week, so it's a surprise that he's not playing. With LeSean McCoy back as the lead ball carrier, rookie Keith Ford should back up Shady against New England. […]
