Kyle Philips Won't Play In Week 16

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Seattle Seahawks. He had been trending in the right direction ever since missing Wednesday's practice, but evidently it wasn't enough. He'll miss Sunday's game, and so will Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand), who was placed on injured reserve this week. Look […]

Will Levis Questionable For Week 16

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. He was trending in the wrong direction after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so it's somewhat promising to learn that the Titans have left the door open for him to play. With that said, the rookie's relatively mediocre […]

Zack Moss Questionable To Play In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The 26-year-old had been operating as the Colts' starter with Jonathan Taylor (sidelined), but he picked up a forearm injury during last Saturday's contest and was unable to return. Even if the Utah product does suit […]

Jonathan Taylor Expected To Return Versus Falcons

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Shane Steichen said the 24-year-old "looks good" and expressed optimism about his availability for Week 16. If confirmed as active, Taylor will return to the low-end RB1 tier after missing three weeks. During the five games […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Clears Concussion Protocol, Will Play Sunday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (head) cleared concussion protocol and has been removed from the injury report. He will play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16. It was a quick recovery for the 26-year-old after he took a vicious hit during last Saturday's game and was subsequently ruled out. Pittman has 99 […]

Jonathan Williams Reverts To Practice Squad

Washington Commanders running back Jonathan Williams (concussion) reverted to the practice squad ahead of Week 16 versus the New York Jets. The 29-year-old suffered the injury last Sunday when he played a season-high 22 percent of offensive snaps but registered just one carry. With both Williams and Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) unavailable, the Commanders may […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Ruled Out For Week 16

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the New York Jets. For the second week in a row, he'll be sidelined, leaving many managers without a reliable RB2 option for the fantasy playoffs. Presumably, Antonio Gibson will start in Robinson's place this week, ranking as a […]

Joe Flacco Off Injury Report, Will Play Versus Texans

Cleveland Browns quarterback Joe Flacco (calf) has been removed from the final injury report and will start against the Houston Texans on Sunday. He had been limited in practice on Wednesday but has not dealt with any reported limitations since then. The 38-year-old has looked impressive since signing with Cleveland and taking over for Dorian […]

Jerome Ford, Kareem Hunt Will Play In Week 16

Cleveland Browns running backs Jerome Ford (wrist) and Kareem Hunt (groin) have been removed from the final injury report and will play against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Both players had been limited in practice to start the week but progressed enough to avoid any sort of injury designation heading into the weekend. Ford has […]

Case Keenum Will Start At Quarterback In Week 16

Houston Texans quarterback Case Keenum has been confirmed as the Week 16 starter with C.J. Stroud (concussion) unable to play, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Keenum drew the start over fellow backup Davis Mills last weekend, and while that decision seemed somewhat surprising, it paid off. The veteran led the Texans to an overtime victory, […]

C.J. Stroud Won't Play In Week 16

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) missed another practice on Friday and will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 16, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC. The rookie will ultimately miss his second consecutive game, leaving veteran Case Keenum in line to start at quarterback. During his appearance last week, Keenum completed 23 […]

Tyreek Hill Has No Setbacks, Trending In Right Direction

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) has not suffered any setbacks this week and will practice again on Friday. Head coach Mike McDaniel told the media that he "feels good" about Hill suiting up for Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. If confirmed as active, Hill will return to the fold after missing just […]

Ian Thomas Questionable For Week 16

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas (ankle) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. However, he is officially listed as questionable ahead of Week 16 versus the Green Bay Packers. The 27-year-old has been a disappointment this season, catching just four passes through nine games. He should be left on waivers in all […]

Tommy Tremble Cleared To Face Packers In Week 16

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (illness) has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. He had been limited in practice earlier this week. The 23-year-old has 16 catches, 118 yards, and three touchdowns this season, putting him in the TE3 tier once again for fantasy […]

De'Von Achane Expected To Play In Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (toe) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Dallas Cowboys, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com. The rookie missed practice on Wednesday but upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday, confirming that he's trending in the right direction. While Dallas has deployed a strong defense all season long, […]

Marquise Brown Won't Play In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Chicago Bears, head coach Jonathan Gannon announced. The injury limited Brown to just 32 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps last weekend, and he also missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. It's been a frustrating year for the 26-year-old […]

Rams Defense Tough To Trust In Week 16

The Los Angeles Rams' defense is not an appealing fantasy football option against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. This unit has become heavily dependent on matchups this season, and to put it simply, New Orleans doesn't make enough mistakes to justify inserting Los Angeles into your lineups. Defenses are averaging 8.0 fantasy points […]

Lucas Havrisik Has Some Fantasy Relevance In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams kicker Lucas Havrisik is teetering on the edge of fantasy football relevance for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints. For the most part, Havrisik has struggled during his seven weeks as the Rams' kicker, converting just 12 of 16 field goals while missing one extra-point attempt. Normally, accuracy concerns would warrant […]

Tyler Higbee Ranks In TE2 Range For Week 16

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee should be viewed as a mid-to-low TE2 option in fantasy football ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old was droppable earlier in the season but has looked a little better lately, catching 11 passes for 100 yards and two touchdowns over the last three […]

Demarcus Robinson Dependent On Big Plays In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson will need to break off big plays or find the end zone in order to preserve his fantasy relevance for Thursday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. The 29-year-old was irrelevant earlier in the season but has emerged as a prominent weapon lately, scoring […]

Puka Nacua Still A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua remains a strong fantasy football option and should be started in most leagues ahead of his clash against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. The breakout rookie has taken a slight step back from his elite level of production during the early weeks […]

Cooper Kupp A Must-Start As Fantasy Playoffs Continue

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp should be started in all fantasy leagues ahead of his Week 16 clash with the New Orleans Saints. While he's no longer the No. 1 fantasy receiver this season, the 30-year-old has been productive when healthy. He overcame a couple of underwhelming midseason games and has returned to […]

Kyren Williams Remains In Must-Start Territory Thursday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams should be started in all fantasy leagues when he faces the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. New Orleans has been respectable against the run, limiting opposing backfields to 126.2 scrimmage yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game. However, Williams has been elite when healthy, […]

Matthew Stafford Remains Appealing Option In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has emerged as an intriguing fantasy football option and remains worth starting against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday Night Football in Week 16. The veteran signal-caller has impressed over his last four weeks, averaging 24 completions, 265 yards, and three passing touchdowns per game. He also has just […]

Jason Brownlee Limited On Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Jason Brownlee (ankle) was a limited participant on Wednesday. The rookie has been an afterthought on offense this season, catching just two passes for 20 yards through four games (all in one contest vs. Miami). He has missed the team's last two contests and will merely return to fill a […]

Israel Abanikanda Limited In Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. The rookie has seen an increased role recently, carrying the ball eight times for 19 yards over his last five games. He also has three catches and 16 receiving yards during that span. While the rookie hasn't been terrific and […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Matthew Slater Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed last Sunday's game but exploded one week earlier in Week 14 with four catches for 90 yards. It appears that he has a respectable rapport with current starting quarterback Bailey Zappe, though it's tough to trust […]

Jalen Nailor Estimated As Non-Participant Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) was estimated as a non-participant following the team's walkthrough session on Wednesday. The 24-year-old picked up his head injury earlier this month and missed Week 15 as a result. He'd also miss Week 16 if unable to clear concussion protocol in time for kickoff. Regardless of his status, […]

Tutu Atwell Officially Cleared For Week 16

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has cleared concussion protocol and practiced in full this week. He will play against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. Despite Atwell's health, he's merely a depth option within the Los Angeles' passing attack, which is headlined by a top-heavy core of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. […]

Matt Gay Estimated As Non-Participant Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (right hip) was listed as a non-participant on the team's practice estimation Wednesday. Given that Gay kicks with his right leg, he could have trouble suiting up in Week 16 if this injury persists. Fantasy managers invested in his availability should check back for more updates when the Colts announce […]
