Phillies Have Made An Offer To Yoshinobu Yamamoto

The Philadelphia Phillies have made an offer to Japanese free-agent right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It's a bid odd, considering president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski has said several times that their five-man starting rotation is set after re-signing right-hander Aaron Nola for $172 million earlier this offseason. Philadelphia will have their highest payroll ever in 2024, […]

Giants All-In On Yoshinobu Yamamoto

According to those familiar with San Francisco Giants president Farhan Zaidi's thinking, he has never been so all-in on a free agent in his six years while leading the Giants' baseball operations group as he has been this winter for Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto. The Giants have the financial flexibility to sign Yamamoto and to […]

Raheem Mostert Sits Out Again Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Two straight days of missed practice would normally raise the alarm for fantasy managers, but the Dolphins have also listed veteran rest next to Mostert's name. As long as the 31-year-old returns to the practice field […]

Treylon Burks Out Sick Again

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (illness) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring) returned to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday's session. Burks is going to need to return to the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out for […]

Will Levis Sits Out Of Practice Again

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Veteran Ryan Tannehill got extensive work with the offense once again and is in line to start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks if Levis is forced out due to his high-ankle sprain. Tannehill hasn't played since Oct. 15 […]

Kendre Miller Will Be Inactive Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) will be inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. Miller returned to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since spraining his ankle in Week 9. However, the 21-year-old third-rounder from TCU will still end […]

Travis Kelce Dealing With Neck Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (neck) is dealing with a neck injury following the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots, although he was able to practice in full on Thursday. Kelce looked to be in some pain late in Sunday's win over the Pats, but the injury doesn't appear to be […]

Isiah Pacheco Back On Track After Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Pacheco didn't practice or play at all the last two weeks, but the Chiefs expect him to return for the Christmas Day battle on Monday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should have already thrown Pacheco back into […]

Michael Mayer Dealing With Toe Ailment

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed the team's first practice of the week on Thursday due to a toe injury. It remains to be seen if Mayer's toe injury is serious enough to keep him out for Monday's Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 22-year-old is coming […]

No Practice For Josh Jacobs On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Raiders are optimistic that Jacobs will be able to return in Week 16 for a Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, but it's not a great sign that […]

Matt Gay Back At Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hip) missed Wednesday's practice with a right-hip injury but was back on the practice field in a limited fashion on Thursday, giving him a chance to play on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. As long as Gay doesn't suffer a setback with his hip in Friday's practice, the 29-year-old should […]

Zack Moss Trending In The Wrong Direction

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Moss injured his forearm in the Week 15 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday and is trending towards missing this Sunday's contest on the road in Atlanta against the Falcons. He has one more day on […]

Michael Pittman Jr. On The Right Track In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion, shoulder) was able to put in a full practice on Thursday following a limited session he had on Wednesday. Pittman is in the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in last Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it looks like he's on his way […]

Ty Johnson Questionable To Face Chargers

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable to play on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16. Johnson injured his shoulder in the Week 15 blowout win over the Dallas Cowboys and now might have to miss a game. The […]

D'Onta Foreman Takes Personal Day Thursday

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman did not practice with the team on Thursday due to a personal issue. The Bears have another day of practice on Friday before the final designations are listed for Week 16 on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. As long as Foreman returns on Friday, he should be available to […]

Darnell Mooney Returns To Full Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (illness) was under the weather and didn't practice with the team on Wednesday but he was clearly feeling better on Thursday and was listed as a full participant. Mooney shouldn't have any issues getting ready to play this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, and he could be in for […]

Cole Kmet Added To Week 16 Injury Report

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (quadriceps) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Thursday after he put in a limited practice. Kmet must have injured himself in practice on Thursday, so his status on Friday will be of added significance as the team gets ready to face the visiting Arizona Cardinals this […]

Chargers Rule Out Keenan Allen For Week 16

The Los Angeles Chargers have ruled out wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) for the Week 16 contest versus the Buffalo Bills on Saturday evening. The Chargers have seemingly thrown in the towel on their 2023 season as they sit in last place in the AFC West after already losing quarterback Justin Herbert (finger) for the […]

Rams Activate Ronnie Rivers From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams activated running back Ronnie Rivers (knee) from Injured Reserve prior to Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints. Rivers, 24, hasn't played since Week 6 and can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues now that he's back. He will be providing more RB depth for the Rams […]

Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch Miss Another Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (heel) and Greg Dortch (shoulder) were not seen in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Brown has exited the team's last two games due to a heel injury and hasn't caught a pass since Week 12. The 26-year-old […]

No Practice For Zay Jones Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. After hurting his hamstring late in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Jones is being considered week-to-week and probably isn't going to be ready to play by Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's bad […]

Trevor Lawrence Not At Thursday's Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle, concussion) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Head coach Doug Pederson said Lawrence was "progressing well" through the league's concussion protocol earlier this week, but the fact he has yet to practice isn't a good sign for his availability for a Week 16 matchup against the […]

Christian Watson, Jayden Reed Miss Practice Again

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe, chest) both missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Watson injured his hamstring in Week 13 and hasn't played the last two weeks. It doesn't appear he's close to returning for Week 16 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Reed, meanwhile, […]

Luke Musgrave Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers opened rookie tight end Luke Musgrave's (kidney) 21-day practice window to be activated from Injured Reserve on Thursday. It comes a little more than a month after he suffered a lacerated kidney. The Packers now have 21 days to officially activate Musgrave from Injured Reserve. Musgrave won't actually practice on Thursday […]

C.J. Stroud Misses Another Practice

Houston Texans rookie first-round quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Stroud is trending toward missing his second straight game this weekend when the team takes on the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Fantasy managers are going to have to leave the 22-year-old […]

Kadarius Toney Won't Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip) will not practice on Thursday due to a strained hip. Toney strained his hip in the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots and is now firmly in danger of missing the team's Christmas Day game against the division-rival Las […]

Jerick McKinnon Misses Thursday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) did not practice with the team on Thursday due to a groin injury, according to head coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs are likely just resting McKinnon for their first practice of the week, but his status bears watching heading into Monday's Christmas Day matchup against the Las […]

Tyreek Hill Back At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. Hill tweaked his ankle in Week 14 and sat out of last week's blowout win over the New York Jets. Now that he's back at practice this week, he should have a good chance to return […]

Mecole Hardman Jr.'s Practice Window Opens

The Kansas City Chiefs opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. Hardman had successful surgery on his sprained right thumb and is now close to returning to the team. If he's going to be active on Christmas Day against the division-rival Las Vegas […]

Mason Rudolph To Start Against Bengals

With Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) officially being ruled out for Week 16, Mason Rudolph will make his first start of the year on Saturday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals with Mitch Trubisky backing him up, according to head coach Mike Tomlin. The Steelers were leaving the door open for Pickett to return after […]
