Kadarius Toney Doesn't Practice On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) missed practice again on Thursday, making it seem highly unlikely that the rookie will play on Sunday. With Darius Slayton placed on the COVID-IR this morning and Sterling Shepard (achilles) out for the season, the Giants will have Kenny Golladay, Evan Engram, and John Ross as the […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins enters his Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers ranked as the QB8 on the season. Only needing 29 passing yards to go over 4,000 on the year, Cousins has been one of the best values at the quarterback position. The matchup Sunday night isn't horrible, with Green […]

Josh Jacobs Set To Face Fully Healthy Colts Defense

On Thursday, the Indianapolis Colts activated star linebacker Darius Leonard off of the COVID-IR. On Wednesday, they activated cornerback Rock-Ya Sin and multiple other starters, which ensures the Colts will be healthy on the defensive side of the ball for Sunday's game. While we're not yet sure what the cardio level is for these players, […]

Ben Roethlisberger Suggests Week 17 Will Be Final Home Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told the media on Thursday that Monday's game against the Cleveland Browns will be his final game at Heinz Field. "I don't ever speak in guarantees, but signs are pointing that this could be it," said Roethlisberger. The 39-year-old confirmed that this season would be his last earlier in the […]

Tyler Huntley Activated From COVID-19 List

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was activated off the COVID-IR on Thursday and will be eligible to play on Sunday. This is good news for the Ravens since Lamar Jackson was reportedly severely limited in practice on Wednesday, moving with a noticeable limp. The Ravens may still choose to play their star, even if he […]

James Conner Back At Practice On Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was back at practice on Thursday after missing last week's game. Conner can be seen in videos doing light jogging, so this is not a guarantee that he plays or is close to 100%, but it is a step in the right direction. Conner would be an RB2 […]

Darius Slayton Tests Positive For COVID-19

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. He will most likely be placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and miss Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old has caught 24 passes for 310 yards and one touchdown over 12 games in 2021. New York will have Kenny Golladay, […]

Kareem Hunt Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle, illness) is not expected to practice Thursday. He was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday but has yet to practice this week. Defensive back Troy Hill, John Johnson, and defensive tackle Malik Jackson are also expected to miss Thursday's session. Hunt hasn't played since Week 14 and […]

Is Joe Burrow Cementing Himself as a Fantasy QB1?

Coming out of LSU with a national championship and 60 touchdown passes, Joe Burrow was the clear number one draft pick for the Cincinnati Bengals. Surprisingly for all, including their own fans, they made the obvious choice and thus far, it has worked out. After an early portion of his rookie season of being brutalized […]

Zach Pascal, Darius Leonard Activated From COVID-19 List

The Indianapolis Colts activated wide receiver Zach Pascal, linebacker Darius Leonard, and safety Khari Willis from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday. After testing positive for the virus on Christmas, Pascal and Leonard missed Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals. Pascal will return and is expected to serve as the Colts WR3 behind Michael Pittman Jr. and […]

Week 17 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

Yet another development in the NFL’s COVID drama occurred this week, with the league again changing its position on when COVID positive players are eligible to play. It is a development that looks great on paper, as both vaccinated and unvaccinated players can get back on the field faster. Still, it's also a change that […]

Dalvin Cook Limited In Return From COVID-19 List

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (illness) was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday after he was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Rookie Kene Nwangwu (hamstring) was also limited. Cook is trying to get his legs back under him after a bout with COVID that caused him to miss the Week 16 loss to […]

Tyler Conklin Not On The Practice Field Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin (hamstring) was tagged as a DNP for Wednesday's practice. It's unclear if this is an injury that could keep Conklin sidelined for Week 17's Sunday night meeting with the Green Bay Packers or if the team is just resting him early in the week, but we'll have a clearer […]

DK Metcalf Starts The Week With No Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot) was a DNP to begin the practice week on Wednesday. Metcalf has been rested early in the week for most of the year after injuring his foot way back in Week 4, but he hasn't missed any games. The 24-year-old has mostly been disappointing in the second half […]

D'Andre Swift Practices In Full Wednesday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. It was reported earlier in the day that Swift is expected to return in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks for the first time since spraining his shoulder on Thanksgiving. His full practice certainly supports that, although fantasy managers should […]

Tre'Quan Smith Not At Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) was unable to take part in practice on Wednesday. Smith played 14 offensive snaps in the Monday night loss to the Miami Dolphins before departing with a chest injury and never returning. The 25-year-old wasn't targeted at all by rookie quarterback Ian Book, who was making his […]

Haason Reddick Placed On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers placed outside linebacker Haason Reddick and reserve quarterback P.J. Walker on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. The team also activated offensive linemen Pat Elflein and Dennis Daley from the list. The Panthers defense could be extremely short-handed in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints, as they put defensive ends Brian Burns […]

Zach Ertz Remains On The Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) opened the week with a limited showing in practice on Wednesday. Ertz has been on the injury report for the last month with Arizona, but he hasn't missed any games and has been an every-down player for the Cardinals. With receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) out, Ertz has seen […]

Chase Edmonds Limited On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (back) was listed as limited in practice on Wednesday. Edmonds is dealing with a minor back that shouldn't keep him from playing in a big Week 17 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old missed four games due to a high ankle sprain but returned in Week 15. Edmonds […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially A DNP Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) was officially listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice. Garoppolo is dealing with a Grade 3 sprain of his right thumb and also has a small fracture in there, but there's a chance he'll be able to give it a go in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. […]

Elijah Mitchell Able To Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was able to get in a limited practice to begin the week on Wednesday. Mitchell is no longer dealing with a concussion, but it remains to be seen if he can get past his knee injury and return to the lead-back role in a juicy Week […]

Drew Lock Limited, Teddy Bridgewater Still Not Practicing

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) remained out with a concussion. Although Lock is dealing with a new injury, he's expected to get the start for the second straight week after Bridgewater suffered a scary head injury in Week 15. In his […]

Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon III Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos running backs Javonte Williams (knee) and Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) were both limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Williams and Gordon continue to be limited in practices, but their injuries won't keep them from playing in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. LA's rush defense has been […]

Lamar Jackson Limited In Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, but he was noticeably limping. It's good news that Jackson is back on the practice field and trending in the right direction for a return to action in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams, but his status will […]

Curtis Samuel Gets In A Limited Practice

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) started off the practice week on Wednesday with a limited session. Samuel missed most of the first half of the season with a lingering groin injury that he had been dealing with since the summer, but he's missed the last two games with a hamstring issue. It's […]

Antonio Gibson Listed With Hip Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (hip) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to a hip injury. He was listed with a toe injury last week but still suited up in the embarrassing blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Don't be alarmed by Gibson's season-low six carries in Week 16, […]
