Rams Designate Cam Akers To Return From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams designated running back Cam Akers (Achilles) to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday. The Rams were never ruling out the chance that Akers could return this year after tearing his Achilles in July, even if it seemed like a long shot. While the 22-year-old is now eligible to be activated from […]

D.J. Moore Misses Another Practice

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (hamstring) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday with a hamstring injury. Head coach Matt Rhule said on Wednesday that Moore is likely to be a game-time decision for the Week 16 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore's fantasy managers would rest a little easier if […]

A.J. Brown Coming Off Injured Reserve To Play Thursday

The Tennessee Titans are activating wide receiver A.J. Brown (chest) from Injured Reserve in order to play on Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Brown was designated to return from IR earlier this week and didn't have any setbacks in practice. So the Titans will have both Brown and Julio Jones (hamstring) active in […]

Rondale Moore Set To Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 16 against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Moore underwent an MRI exam on his ankle to begin the week and didn't practice at all, so we'd be surprised if he suits up on Christmas […]

James Conner To Be A Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that running back James Conner (heel) will be a game-time decision on Saturday against the Indianapolis Colts. Conner missed practice all week, so he's on the wrong side of questionable, but it doesn't mean he won't be active on Christmas Day. The 26-year-old will officially be listed as […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 16) - Targets and Avoids

The NFL seems like a short season with only 17 regular season games played, but then you look back at Week 8 and realize the Chiefs lost 27-3 to the Titans, it feels like eons ago. After that loss, I wrote,  "If there's ever been a better buy-low chance on any team, it's Kansas City […]

No Sign Of Jamison Crowder At Practice Thursday

There is no sign of New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) at the start of practice on Thursday. If Crowder is given a DNP, it will be his second missed practice of the week, which doesn't bode well for his status in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It's a new injury for […]

Nelson Agholor Remains Sidelined At Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) missed practice for the second day of the week on Thursday. If Agholor cannot clear the league's concussion protocol, the Patriots could be pretty short-handed at the position in a big game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Kendrick Bourne, the team's leading receiver with 667 yards, remains […]

Mike Gesicki - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has seen nearly 20 targets combined over his last two games. However, the return of wide receiver Jaylen Waddle could cut into those targets for Week 16. The biggest problem for Gesicki this season has been getting consistent yardage. Over his last five games, Gesicki has only finished with […]

No Practice For Rhamondre Stevenson Thursday

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) wasn't at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Stevenson is in danger of missing the big divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday if he cannot get back on the field on Friday. Damien Harris (hamstring) has missed the last two games, but […]

DeVante Parker - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker has seen consistent involvement in the offense whenever he plays. In fact, he has at least 60 receiving yards or more in each of his last four games. However, the return of Jaylen Waddle could take away targets for Parker heading into Week 16. Last week, Parker hauled in […]

Dalvin Cook Put On COVID-19 List, Out For Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Cook is unvaccinated, so he's not expected to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Unvaccinated players must quarantine for 10 days for a positive test and five days if they are a close contact. The hits just keep coming […]

Kadarius Toney Back From The COVID-19 List

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney, linebacker Oshane Ximines and safety J.R. Reed were cleared to return from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, according to head coach Joe Judge. Several more Giants players on the COVID list, including cornerback Adoree' Jackson, could be cleared on Friday. Toney hasn't played since Week 11 due […]

Jaylen Waddle - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has come off the COVID list ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. That means, the rookie wideout will be available after missing last week's matchup with the New York Jets. Waddle is averaging 8.8 targets per game and is sixth in the NFL in […]

Phillip Lindsay - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay is expected to return for the Week 16 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. He has not played in each of the last two games for Miami, but is expected to return on Monday night. However, he'll return to an already crowded backfield. Lindsay will fight for carries with […]

Elijah Moore Could Return Next Week

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is expected to be back for the final two games of the regular season. Moore was moved from Injured Reserve to the COVID-19 list on Wednesday, but as long as he clears the COVID protocols, he could be available to fantasy managers in Week 17. In […]

Duke Johnson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Duke Johnson put together a career game versus the New York Jets last week. He rushed 22 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns in the win. It's worth noting that the Dolphins were limited in options at running back. Lead back Myles Gaskin did play, but saw less snaps due […]

Antonio Gibson Not At Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is not at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Gibson injured his toe in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, although he was able to return to finish out the contest. But on a short week, there's a chance Gibson won't be ready for […]

Myles Gaskin - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin was uncertain to play during the Week 15 matchup with the New York Jets. However, Gaskin cleared COVID protocols and was able to take the field last week. Sadly, he didn't make much of an impact during the victory. He rushed 10 times for 54 yards and didn't do […]

Leonard Fournette Out Again Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Fournette tweaked his hamstring in the Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints and was quickly ruled out. The Bucs are saying that he could miss one to two games, although they have yet to […]

Week 16 Kicker Streamers and Starts – 2021 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

What a cluster Week 15 was. Not only did fantasy managers have to deal with countless Covid-19 cases, but three games were delayed adding even more intrigue.....or frustration. We haven't even gotten to the actual games yet. You know, the one where the Buccaneers were shut out and Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Leonard Fournette all left […]

Tua Tagovailoa - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is coming off a disappointing performance against the New York Jets last week. He threw for only 196 yards and had two interceptions to his name as well. The only positive was two passing touchdowns and a victory for Miami. However, things aren't going to get easier for Tagovailoa against […]

Taysom Hill On COVID List, Ian Book To Start Monday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is being placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and will miss Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins. Trevor Siemian also went on the COVID list on Thursday, so rookie Ian Book will start in Week 16 against the Miami Dolphins. It will be the fourth QB the […]

Mike Evans Not On The Right Track

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was not seen at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Evans injured his hamstring last Sunday night and was labeled as week-to-week for Week 16's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Unless Evans returns to the practice field on Friday, he'll likely be out this weekend […]

Panthers Place Starting Center On COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers center Pat Elflein was placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday, along with backup guard and left tackle Dennis Daley. While Elflein's placement is a more immediate concern, Daley being out on Sunday could also rear its head since starting left tackle Cameron Erving has been limited in practice with a calf injury. […]

Saints Place Trevor Siemian On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian will be placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday. That means that Ian Book will be activated to back up Taysom Hill this weekend, which is of note considering Hill is playing through a finger injury that he suffered in the loss to the Cowboys a few weeks ago. […]
