Is Julio Jones Playing Tonight? Should I Start Julio Jones in Week 16?

After a long a crazy Week 15 finally wrapping up, Week 16 of the NFL season is here. Along with that comes that 2nd round of the fantasy football playoffs for most leagues. Injury and COVID situations will remain key in determining the right players to start or sit in fantasy lineups, and can be […]

Austin Hooper - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper was activated from the league's reserve/COVID-19 list this week and will suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Hooper was forced to be a spectator in Week 15's loss after he landed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list but has since cleared the league's protocol and will […]

Dalvin Cook Tests Positive For COVID-19, Out 10 Days

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 and is unvaccinated, which means he will be out a minimum of 10 days. Regardless of how many negative tests Cook can gather, the NFL's protocols state that he may not return for this 10-day period, so he will miss his Week 16 against […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones was his team's leading receiver in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Peoples-Jones will look to replicate his success in a Christmas Day matchup against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. The Packers represent a neutral matchup for wide receivers as they are allowing the […]

Tajae Sharpe Isn't Back On The Practice Field

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (foot) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Sharpe was listed as day-to-day on Wednesday, but he's not on the right track to play in Week 16 against the Detroit Lions after he was injured in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even as […]

Is DeAndre Hopkins Out For The Season? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Despite their 10-4 record, the Cardinals have dealt with injuries to several key players. At the top of the list? Star wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. The 29-year-old injured his knee in Week 14 against the Rams, which is not what the Cardinals or fantasy managers wanted to hear. Since then, there have been more reports […]

Jarvis Landry - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is expected to suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expects that Landry will be activated on Friday after he was placed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list on December 14. Friday marks the end of his mandatory 10-day quarantine period, meaning he should […]

Antonio Brown Logs Limited Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) had a limited practice on Thursday. Brown hasn't played since Week 6 due to this ankle injury and a suspension, but he started the season so well that he can be started if he's active against the Carolina Panthers this week. Additionally, wide receiver Chris Godwin's (knee) […]

Is Antonio Brown Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 16

After scoring 21.2 PPR points and finishing as a WR1 in Week 1, there was a lot of excitement over Antonio Brown's fantasy potential in Tampa Bay. That hype only grew when he had consecutive top-six finishes in Weeks 5 and 6, respectively. However, following a finish as the WR6 in Week 6, Brown suffered […]

D'Andre Swift Limited Again Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) was limited in practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Swift is back at practice this week for the first time since spraining his shoulder on Thanksgiving, and while he could be available on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, it's not a guarantee, and the Lions […]

Nick Chubb - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will suit up against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16's Christmas Day game. Chubb performed well in a Week 15 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for 91 yards and a touchdown on Tuesday night. He will go up against a Packers run defense that is tough […]

Zach Ertz Will Play Saturday

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) practiced in full on Thursday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Ertz was limited the other two days of practice, but he was never in any real danger of sitting out this weekend. With receiver DeAndre Hopkins […]

Lamar Jackson Misses Practice Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed practice yet again on Thursday, making it more likely that backup Tyler Huntley makes his second straight start in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Jackson suffered a sprained ankle in Week 14 and has yet to practice since. He still has one more day in […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Will Return In Week 16

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) practiced in full on Friday and will play in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Receiver Amari Rodgers (shoulder) also wasn't on the final injury report, while Malik Taylor (shoulder) was ruled out after not practicing all week. St. Brown's return is worth mentioning […]

Aaron Jones Good To Go Against The Browns

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week but was removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday.

Aaron Rodgers Taken Off The Injury Report

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) missed practice all week for the second straight week but won't carry an injury designation into the Week 16 game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. Rodgers is managing a broken pinkie toe on his foot, but he will continue to play through the issue before possibly having […]

Leonard Fournette Placed On Injured Reserve

In a move that was expected, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will knock him out for the final three games of the regular season. Fantasy managers that have rode Fournette all this way sadly won't have him in the final push for a fantasy […]

Malik Hooker Tests Positive For COVID-19

Dallas Cowboys safety Malik Hooker tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday, and his status is now in doubt for Sunday night's game against the Washington Football Team. It's terrible timing for Hooker, as he's coming off his best game of the season with six tackles (five solo), an interception and a pass defensed in 51% […]

Chris Jones Returns From COVID-19 List

Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones is back from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, according to a source. The Chiefs are also getting cornerback Charvarius Ward back for their Week 16 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Chiefs have been a pretty neutral defense against the run, but Jones' return in the middle of KC's defensive […]

JC Tretter Goes On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that center JC Tretter was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Tretter isn't officially ruled out, but this late in the week, it's unlikely that he'll clear the COVID protocols in time to play on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. The 30-year-old's absence […]

Colts To Be Down Two Offensive Line Starters Saturday

Indianapolis Colts center Ryan Kelly (personal) and safety Andrew Sendejo (concussion) have been ruled out for Saturday's Christmas Day game against the Arizona Cardinals. Offensive guard Mark Glowinski was also added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and will not be available on Saturday. Running back Jonathan Taylor, the NFL's leading rusher and the most […]

Kendall Lamm To Miss Thursday's Game

Tennessee Titans reserve offensive tackle Kendall Lamm announced on social media on Thursday that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Left tackle Taylor Lewan (back) and left guard Rodger Saffold were ruled out on Wednesday, so the Titans offensive line is going to be […]

Ravens Won't Give Extra Attention To Ja'Marr Chase

Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Wink Martindale said that they will not double/triple team Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase in Week 16 like they did for Packers receiver Davante Adams in Week 15. "Adams is one of the top two receivers in the league and he's not No. 2. Aaron Rodgers is a Hall […]

Emmanuel Sanders Returns To Full Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Sanders is making good progress from a knee injury that kept him out of last week's win over the Carolina Panthers. Barring a setback on Friday, Sanders should be able to return in Week […]

Myles Garrett 50-50 To Play Saturday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said he considers defensive end Myles Garrett (groin) to be 50-50 to play in Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers on Saturday on Christmas Day. Garrett wants to play badly, but the team will evaluate him over the next couple of days. The All-Pro pass-rusher didn't practice on […]

Jarvis Landry To Come Off COVID-19 List Friday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver Jarvis Landry, offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and defensive tackle Malik McDowell will come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday when their 10-day quarantine period expires. Quarterback Baker Mayfield will as well, so both Mayfield and Landry are expected to start in Week 16 against […]

Browns Plan To Start Baker Mayfield On Saturday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said the plan is for quarterback Baker Mayfield to start on Saturday against the Green Bay Packers. Mayfield remains on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, but because of the 10-day rule, he'll be eligible to come off the list on Friday, regardless of testing. The Browns will be getting wide receiver […]
