Melvin Gordon III Back At Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) was limited in Thursday's practice session after he didn't take part on Wednesday. Gordon should be available to play in Sunday's divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he will resume a near-even timeshare with rookie Javonte Williams. Gordon has had more of a nose […]

Pat Freiermuth Still In Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (head) remains in the concussion protocol and missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Freiermuth isn't on the right track to play on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he still has one more day to get onto the practice field. When healthy, he's been […]

Alex Collins Limited Again Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Collins missed the Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams while on the COVID-19 list, but he's back now and seems likely to be active in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old will most […]

Andy Dalton Back From The COVID-19 List

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton (groin, hand) is off the COVID-19 list and returned to a full practice on Thursday. Dalton has been dealing with a small fracture in his left, non-throwing hand, but he looks to be good to go entering Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. Rookie quarterback Justin Fields is dealing with […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Remains In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. remains in the league's concussion protocol and did not practice on Thursday. In better news for the Bears receivers, Marquise Goodwin (foot) was limited for the second straight day. Grant suffered a concussion on Monday night and is in danger of missing Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. […]

Justin Fields Downgraded On Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) missed practice on Thursday after he was a limited participant on Wednesday. Mid-week downgrades are usually never a positive sign, but the Bears could also just be resting the 22-year-old rookie in advance of their Week 16 date with the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday. Andy Dalton (groin, hand) […]

A.J. Brown Expected To Receive A Full Workload

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (chest) is expected to see a full workload on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers as long as his conditioning goes well throughout the game. Brown is returning from Injured Reserve this week and hasn't played since Week 11, but he looked good in practice this week and […]

David Johnson In Danger Of Missing Week 16?

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (quadriceps) was listed as a non-practice participant for the second straight day on Thursday. Johnson will most likely need to get in at least a limited practice session on Friday to have a shot at suiting up for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Houston's best offensive weapon, […]

Should I Start Jeff Wilson Jr.? Is Elijah Mitchell Playing Tonight?

Thursday night is here, which means Week 16 is about to kick off. And for most fantasy football managers, that means the start of semifinals week. COVID-19 outbreaks and injuries around the league continue to wreak havoc on fantasy lineups, so it's important to stay up to date on all player news. The first game […]

Donald Parham Jr. Still Sidelined

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday and doesn't look close to playing in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. Anyone watching the play in which Parham was knocked out after hitting his head violently on the turf last Thursday would understand completely if […]

Kirk Cousins Practicing In Full

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins (ribs) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Cousins was seen wincing while tossing footballs around at practice on Wednesday, so his ribs injury is worth watching, although it doesn't look like it's a serious enough injury to keep him from playing on Sunday […]

Adam Thielen Limited Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) put in another day of limited practice on Thursday. Thielen has missed the last two games with a high ankle sprain, but he's made real progress this week and could be available to return for a Week 16 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams this weekend. He was […]

Week 16 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Woof. What a week in the NFL. Between the COVID madness, a slew of injuries, and some stud players totally flopping, there was utter chaos in the fantasy landscape this weekend. That carried over to the defensive side of the ball too, where the number one defense in fantasy was the Saints, who played a […]

James Conner Confident He'll Play In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) said he's confident he'll play in Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Conner said it will all come down to pain management of his heel injury, and he added that his ankle is fine. The 26-year-old did not practice all week and is officially a game-time […]

Jordan Howard Practicing In Full

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) practiced in full at the team's Thursday walkthrough practice after being listed as limited in Wednesday's estimated session. Howard is getting healthier while Mile Sanders (quadriceps) has yet to practice this week. While Howard did see a healthy 15 carries for 69 yards in his return on Tuesday […]

Miles Sanders Idle Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP for the second straight practice on Thursday. Sanders suffered the quad injury on Tuesday in the win over the Washington Football Team, and on the short week, he should now be considered questionable to play on Sunday against the New York Giants. It […]

Josh Jacobs Practices In Full

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) practiced in full on Thursday and will be active in his Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Jacobs has been unspectacular this season, but he remains a serviceable RB2 for most fantasy teams. However, fantasy managers shouldn't feel obligated to start Jacobs over an interesting waiver […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Back On The Practice Field

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (foot, shoulder) put in a limited practice session on Thursday after he wasn't seen at all on Wednesday. Shenault has put himself on track to play this weekend against the New York Jets if he can avoid a setback in Friday's practice. Rolling with Jaguars pass-catchers this year […]

Darren Waller Misses Another Practice, Unlikely To Play

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) missed another practice on Thursday and seems unlikely to play in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. Since his stellar Week 1 performance, Waller's season has gone downhill. The 29-year-old seems to be declining and has struggled with injuries, so fantasy managers may want to consider […]

Damien Harris, Brandon Bolden Limited Again Thursday

New England Patriots running backs Damien Harris (hamstring) and Brandon Bolden (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Harris is trending in the right direction after missing the last two games with a hamstring injury suffered in the Week 13 win over the Buffalo Bills. It's unknown if Harris […]

Browns Defense Tough To Trust Vs. Packers

The Cleveland Browns defense draws a difficult road matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Cleveland's defense has been playing better of late, but a showdown against the Packers as 7.5-point road underdogs is not an ideal spot for this unit. The Packers have not been an offense to target with fantasy defenses […]

Chase McLaughlin - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns kicker Chase McLaughlin has really struggled over the second half of the season, making just two of six field goals over his last four games. The Browns would not rule out changing kickers after McLaughlin missed a key field goal in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, but they ultimately […]

Joe Mixon Practices In Full Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday and is on track to play in Week 16 in a big divisional clash with the Baltimore Ravens. Mixon was limping at the end of the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos, but he's feeling fine now […]

Tyler Lockett Activated From COVID List

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (illness) was activated off the COVID-19 reserve and will be active in his Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears. In Week 15, with Lockett out, D.K. Metcalf amassed 12 targets but was still inefficient with only six receptions for 52 yards. Since returning from his injury, Russell Wilson […]

David Njoku - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) got in two limited practices this week and is listed without an injury designation for his team's Christmas Day showdown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Njoku turned in a pedestrian outing in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders but he did come […]

Devin Duvernay Hasn't Practiced This Week

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay (ankle) has missed both days of practice this week. Duvernay was rarely on the field in the Week 15 loss to the Green Bay Packers, so he could've been dealing with the injury last weekend. Even if the 24-year-old is active on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, he cannot […]

Is A.J. Brown Playing Tonight? WR Injury Update vs. 49ers on Thursday Night Football

Week 15 was about as wild as it gets for the NFL and fantasy football managers. But with significant injuries and COVID-19 still wreaking havoc on the league, Week 16 could be just as hectic. Fantasy managers that survived the first week of the playoffs must stay on top of the news in order to […]
