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. The Cardinals were set to sent $15-20 million to the Astros in the deal to pay down Arenado's […]

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 […]

Justice Hill Out For Personal Reasons On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (personal) missed the team's practice on Wednesday due to personal reasons. The Ravens still have one more day of practice this week on Thursday before heading into a big Week 16 divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The 27-year-old Hill should be back with the team before […]

Nelson Agholor Trending Toward Missing Week 16

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight day of practice this week on Wednesday. Agholor suffered a concussion in the Week 15 win over the New York Giants and is now looking unlikely to play on a quick turnaround this Saturday against the division-rival […]

Rashod Bateman Pops Up On Injury Report

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) was added to Thursday's Week 16 injury report after putting in a limited practice. Bateman could now be up in the air to play on a short week this Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers, but we'll have a better idea of his status when the Ravens release […]

Matt Gay Misses Practice On Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (neck) didn't take part in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Gay is dealing with a neck injury coming out of the Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday in which he made both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point opportunity. He still […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Picks Up DNP On Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Michael Pittman Jr. (back) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) both missed the first practice of Week 16 preparation on Wednesday. In addition, Alec Pierce (concussion) also did not practice, so Indy's receiving corps is a bit beat up heading into Sunday's game against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. Pittman has been battling through […]

Joe Mixon Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) had his reps limited in practice for the second straight day on Wednesday in advance of the team's Week 16 contest on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Mixon tweaked his ankle in the Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said the […]

Tee Higgins Limited With Knee Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Tee Higgins (knee) and Charlie Jones (groin) were listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session. While Higgins is listed with a knee ailment, the Bengals are merely resting him late in the season after he's already miss a handful of games due to injury in 2024. Barring a setback later this […]

Joe Burrow Listed As Limited On Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) was listed as limited for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Burrow has been managing a sore knee and has been getting treatment for his surgically repaired right wrist in the last week, but he was able to start in the Week 15 win over […]

Tyrone Tracy Jr. On The Week 16 Injury Report

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday after he put in a limited practice. It's a new injury for Tracy, so his status is worth watching the rest of the week, but if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on […]

Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson Limited On Wednesday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee, foot) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday while dealing with two injuries. Fellow wideout Wan'Dale Robinson (shoulder) was also limited in practice. Both players should be available to play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, but we'll monitor Nabers closely through the […]

Geno Smith Practices On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that quarterback Geno Smith (knee) went through Wednesday's walkthrough and will participate in practice. It's unclear exactly how much Smith will actually practice, but even a limited session in the first practice of the week will put him in place to potentially play in Week 16 against the […]

Brian Burns Missing From Wednesday's Practice

New York Giants outside linebacker Brian Burns (ankle) and inside linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) were not spotted in the portion of practice on Wednesday that was open to the media. Burn said his ankle got rolled up on "pretty bad" in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, but head coach Brian Daboll said […]
