Ryan Tannehill Will Start In Week 16

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in Week 16 versus the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Kenneth Walker III Expected To Play Versus Titans

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is expected to play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 16 despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Zay Jones Expected To Miss Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) was listed as questionable and is not expected to play in Week 16 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Cole Kmet Expected To Play In Week 16

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (quadricep) is expected to suit up versus the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

D'Onta Foreman Not Expected To Play In Week 16

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (personal) has been listed as questionable and is not expected to play versus the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion), who has already been ruled out for this Sunday's game versus the Cleveland Browns, has "begun to make some progress" and could return in Week 17, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) had been listed as questionable but is expected to play in Week 16 versus the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The rookie is coming off a six-catch, 97-yard game and should continue to have a significant role with Christian Watson (hamstring) not expected to […]

Patriots Defense A Fringe Option For Week 16

The New England Patriots' defense is a fringe top-12 option heading into Sunday Night Football versus the Denver Broncos. From a turnover perspective, opposing quarterback Russell Wilson has produced mixed results this year, snapping his four-game streak without an interception and immediately delivering four turnovers over his next two games. Meanwhile, the rushing and receiving […]

Chad Ryland Avoidable Once Again In Week 16

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland remains droppable in all fantasy leagues ahead of Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos. He has been one of the NFL's worst kickers in his rookie season, converting just 13 of 20 field-goal attempts while costing the Patriots at least one game. He could get some opportunities with a […]

Mike Gesicki An Unknown Commodity Ahead Of Spot Start

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki is purely a speculative option for fantasy football in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. While he has primarily occupied a backup role this season, he'll upgrade to the No. 1 slot on Sunday night after Hunter Henry (knee) was ruled out. If he can replicate Henry's production […]

DeVante Parker Looking To Remain Productive In Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker will look to build on last Sunday's solid game when he takes the field versus the Denver Broncos in Week 16. In his return from a one-game absence, Parker impressed versus the Chiefs, catching all five targets for 41 yards while handling an impressive 91 percent snap share. […]

Demario Douglas An Unappealing Option For Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. While there was a stretch of games near the middle of the season where he was quite effective, he underwhelmed in last weekend's return from a multi-game absence caused by a concussion. The rookie mustered just three […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Favorable Matchup In Week 16

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott could benefit from a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday evening. The veteran has made two starts in place of Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) but produced mixed results. In fact, he totaled 140 yards and one touchdown in Week 14 before being held to just 46 carries […]

Bailey Zappe Tough To Trust Versus Denver

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe is difficult to trust in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 16 versus the Denver Broncos. Although the Broncos surrendered five passing touchdowns last week, that was against Jared Goff. Zappe represents a much softer opponent for Denver, and the young quarterback could struggle against a secondary anchored by […]

Is Keenan Allen Coming Back and Playing This Week? Week 16 Fantasy Football Return Update

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has carried many fantasy managers throughout the 2023 season. After overcoming injuries last year, he exploded this year and served as a potential league-winner.

Is Ja'Marr Chase Coming Back and Playing This Week? Week 16 Fantasy Football Return Update

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase gave fantasy managers a major scare when he exited during the fourth quarter of last Saturday's game and was quickly ruled out.

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB5 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley is the only member of his backfield who has been active for all 14 games this season, but he remains off the fantasy radar for Week 16.

Chris Boswell Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 16 Fantasy Football Lineup Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 16+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: K2 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell should only be considered in deeper leagues ahead of his matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday, Dec. 23, 2023, at 4:30 p.m. EST. Although the veteran has remained quite accurate in his age-32 season, his production has dwindled as […]

Russell Wilson Ranks As QB2 For Christmas Eve Game

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson ranks as a high-end QB2 option in fantasy football ahead of his game against the New England Patriots on Christmas Eve. The Broncos are coming off a difficult game versus the Detroit Lions, though Wilson actually looked solid in that contest, completing 18 passes for 223 yards, one touchdown, and […]

Trevor Lawrence Clears Concussion Protocol

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (concussion, ankle) has cleared concussion protocol and will travel with the team to Tampa Bay. It's worth noting that he is still listed as questionable and will presumably test his ankle pregame before the team makes a decision on his status. Lawrence's talent and surrounding weapons normally put him in […]

Cairo Santos Inks Four-Year Extension

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos signed a four-year, $16 million extension with the team on Saturday morning, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal includes $9.5 million guaranteed and keeps Santos in Chicago through 2027. The veteran has been quite reliable with the Bears, missing just four field goals over his last 30 games. As […]

Zack Moss Ruled Out For Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He had initially been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week.

Jonathan Taylor Removed From Injury Report, Will Play In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16.

Commanders Elevate Derrick Gore For Week 16

Washington Commanders running back Derrick Gore was signed to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He had been on the practice squad, but Washington had a clear need at running back after ruling out Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) and demoting Jonathan Williams (concussion). With that said, Gore will operate […]

New York Jets wide receiver Jason Brownlee (ankle) practiced in full again on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Washington Commanders in Week 16.

Israel Abanikanda Questionable To Face Commanders

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) was limited in practice all week long. He is officially questionable to play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Zach Wilson, Aaron Rodgers Officially Ruled Out For Week 16

New York Jets quarterbacks Zach Wilson (concussion) and Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders.

Meanwhile, Week 16 had always been Rodgers' […]

Brock Wright Ruled Out For Week 16

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) has been ruled out for Week 16. He missed all three practices this week. The 25-year-old has 13 catches, 91 yards, and one touchdown this season, operating as the clear backup tight end behind breakout rookie Sam LaPorta. Wright's absence will have no fantasy implications this week.

Greg Dortch Questionable To Play In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder) is officially questionable to play against the Chicago Bears in Week 16. Although he missed back-to-back practices earlier this week, it appears he at least has a chance to suit up on Sunday. Having Dortch available would be key for the Cardinals, who have already ruled out Marquise […]
