Luther Burden III Off Injury Report Following Full Practice

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (ankle) was a full practice participant on Friday and carries no injury designation into the team's Sunday Night matchup with the 49ers. Burden injured his ankle in a Week 15 blowout of the Browns, in which he had seen his highest target share of the season, and […]


Rome Odunze to Miss His Fourth Consecutive Game

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out of the team's Sunday Night matchup with the 49ers, his fourth consecutive missed game since popping up on the injury report following a Week 13 win over the Eagles. In his absence, the Bears have seen spike games from DJ Moore and Luther Burden […]


Josh Allen Good to Go for Sunday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot), who has been trending in the right direction with a foot injury, was a full participant during Friday's practice and carries no injury designation into a Week 17 matchup with the defending champion Eagles. Allen was seen receiving attention during the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, but […]


Mack Hollins Amongst a Handful of Patriots Ruled Out for Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Jets, as an abdominal injury has kept him from practicing this week. Hollins was one of seven Patriots players ruled out on Friday, along with fellow wideout Kayshon Boutte (concussion). With two of New England's most […]


Kayshon Boutte Ruled Out for Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) has been ruled out of the team's Week 17 matchup with the Jets after suffering a concussion late in a Week 16 win over the Ravens. Boutte was injured on a controversial deep pass that resulted in no pass interference call, and he will now be held […]


TreVeyon Henderson Questionable Vs Jets

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Jets. The first-year back was spotted at Friday's practice, no longer donning the red non-contact jersey he wore to begin the week. Henderson will still need to officially clear the NFL's concussion protocol after exiting […]


Dylan Sampson Questionable for Week 17

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson (hand) will carry a questionable designation into Sunday's Week 17 matchup with the Steelers as he continues to work back from the hand injury that has kept him out of the last two games. With fellow first-year back Quinshon Judkins (leg, ankle) done for the year after undergoing surgery […]


Harold Fannin Jr. Questionable for Sunday

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) sustained a groin injury during Friday's practice and is now being listed as questionable for the team's Week 17 matchup with the Steelers. He had been RotoBaller's TE3 for championship weekend, but his status is now up in the air. Fannin had seen a 20+ percent target […]


Kayshon Boutte Misses Practice While in Concussion Protocol

New England wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) was one of eight Patriots players to miss Wednesday's practice as he works through the league's concussion protocol. Boutte was injured on a deep pass late in New England's Week 16 win over the Ravens that controversially did not see a flag thrown for pass interference. Veteran receiver […]


Mack Hollins Does Not Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) was not available for the team's first practice of the week with an abdominal issue. The veteran wideout caught seven of nine targets for 69 yards in a Week 16 win over the Ravens, and he could be in line for another high-floor fantasy performance if he's […]


Kimani Vidal Misses Another Practice with Neck Injury

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal (neck) missed his second practice of the week after suffering a neck strain late in the team's Week 16 win over the Cowboys. After undergoing an MRI early in the week, he was considered day-to-day, but he has yet to return to the practice field, putting his availability […]


Pat Bryant Ruled Out vs Chiefs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion) has been ruled out for the team's Thursday night Christmas matchup with the Chiefs. The rookie wideout was concussed late in the Broncos' Week 16 loss to the Jaguars on a violent hit over the middle and was immediately taken to the hospital. He was released from the […]


Ryan Flournoy Questionable for Week 17

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy (knee) is questionable for the team's Week 17 Christmas Day matchup with the Commanders after missing the last two practices of the week. Flournoy was limited with a knee issue to begin the shortened week before logging DNPs on Tuesday and Wednesday. The second-year wideout has seen increased usage […]


Emeka Egbuka Could Be More Involved in Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka caught only one pass in a Week 16 loss to the Panthers, but offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard told the media on Wednesday that he would like to get his rookie wideout more involved, specifically noting the importance of getting him the ball early. After a red-hot start to […]


Dawson Knox Not Practicing Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (knee) missed Wednesday's practice as he deals with a knee injury that threatens to hold him out of his first game this season. Knox caught one of his two targets in a Week 16 win over the Browns for only 10 yards, while handling a 68% snap share. Fellow […]


Dalton Kincaid Does Not Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice on Wednesday after seeing the field on only 38% of his team's offensive snaps in a Week 16 win over the Browns. He was listed as a non-participant in the first two practices of Week 16 before logging a full participation on Friday and heading […]


Josh Allen Limited on Wednesday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) was limited on Wednesday after sitting out of Tuesday's walkthrough. Allen suffered a foot injury in the Bills' Week 16 win over the Browns, and while he didn't miss any time, he was seen getting attention on the sideline. With Buffalo still in the hunt for a sixth consecutive […]


Tyquan Thornton Does Not Practice Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (concussion) was not present for the media access portion of Tuesday's practice as he continues to recover from the concussion that kept him out of the team's Week 16 loss to the Titans. The Chiefs face a shortened week as they prepare for a Christmas night divisional matchup […]


Rashee Rice Not Practicing Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice (concussion) was not seen at Tuesday's practice as he continues to work through the league's concussion protocol. Rice missed the team's Week 16 loss to the Titans after suffering a violent hit from the Chargers' Tony Jefferson in Week 15. With the Chiefs slated to face the Broncos […]


Jaylen Warren Will be Limited to Start the Week

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (undisclosed) suffered an unspecified injury in the team's Week 16 win over the Lions, and head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday that he will be limited to begin the week in practice. Tomlin did note that he is optimistic about Warren's availability for Pittsburgh's Week 17 matchup […]


J.J. McCarthy Ruled Out for Week 17

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand) has been ruled out for the team's Week 17 Christmas Day matchup with the Lions. McCarthy underwent an MRI after being knocked out of the team's Week 16 win over the Giants, revealing a hairline fracture in his throwing hand. Undrafted rookie Max Brosmer, who came on in relief […]


Rome Odunze Expected to Return This Season

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) has now missed three consecutive games with a foot injury, but head coach Ben Johnson told reporters on Tuesday that his second-year wideout is right on track in his injury recovery and is expected to help the team again this season. The Bears face the 49ers in a […]


Parker Washington Unlikely to Repeat Career-Best Performance

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington is coming off a week 16 win over the Broncos in which he caught six of nine targets for a career-high 145 yards and a touchdown, and he will be a popular waiver addition heading into fantasy championships. While he is capable of providing a relatively safe floor as […]


Shane Buechele Signed by the Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed fifth-year quarterback Shane Buechele off the Bills' practice squad, pending a physical. With Patrick Mahomes (ACL) and Gardner Minshew (ACL) both being lost to severe knee injuries in back-to-back weeks, the Chiefs were forced to turn to Chris Oladokun, a 2022 7th-round pick out of South Dakota State, in […]


No Update on Deshaun Watson as Deadline Nears

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski provided no updates on quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) regarding an activation to the 53-man roster. The deadline to activate Watson from the Physically Unable to Perform list is this Tuesday, and despite telling the media that a decision would be made this week, nothing appears imminent with approximately 24 […]


Dak Prescott Will Play for the Cowboys on Christmas

Dallas quarterback Dak Prescott finished Week 16 on the sideline, watching backup Joe Milton III take the team's final offensive snaps in what became a blowout loss to the Chargers, but according to team CEO Stephen Jones, he will remain the team's starter for a Week 17 divisional matchup with the Commanders. Prescott and the […]


Bryce Young Likely to Practice in Full This Week

Carolina quarterback Bryce Young had his ankle stepped on early in the team's Week 16 win over the Buccaneers, but he did not miss any time, and head coach Dave Canales expects him to be a full go as the Panthers begin preparation for a Week 17 matchup with the Seahawks. Young completed nearly two-thirds […]


George Pickens in Line for Bounce-Back Despite Tough Matchup

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is coming off his worst two-game stretch of the season and faces a Chargers defense in Week 16 that has been the sixth-toughest matchup for opposing receivers. In spite of that, he ranks as RotoBaller's WR12 for the week and should be a reliable play for the fantasy semifinals. […]


CeeDee Lamb A Must-Start After Returning to Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (illness) missed the team's first two practices of the week, but he was able to log a full participation on Friday and is a locked-in WR1 for Sunday's fantasy semifinal matchup with the Chargers. Los Angeles has boasted one of the strongest pass defenses in the league, but the […]


Javonte Williams a High-Ceiling Play Despite Neck Issue

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (neck) was able to log a full practice session on Friday, and he looks to be a locked-in RB1 option for Sunday's Week 16 matchup with the Chargers. Los Angeles' defense has been strong against the pass all season, forcing most opponents into a run-heavy game plan, but the […]
