Week 16 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

Before you even ask, yes, we are aware that our COVID-centered intros are becoming a bit of a broken record. That said, we must keep coming back to this particular record because it continues to be the biggest factor in fantasy football right now. While COVID went much of this year without impacting any NFL […]

Tony Pollard Puts In A Limited Practice

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Pollard returned from a torn plantar fascia in his left foot in Week 15 against the New York Giants and had 12 carries for 74 yards while catching all three of his targets for an additional 13 yards in the victory. He […]

Curtis Samuel Listed As Limited Wednesday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Samuel didn't play in Week 15, so he'll likely need to actually practice later this week for the team to feel comfortable throwing him out there on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old has had a […]

Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Due To Toe Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) didn't see the practice field on Wednesday due to a toe injury that he suffered in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gibson left the game but returned, so hopefully that means he'll be able to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday […]

Zay Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones (toe) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury. We'll have a better idea in the coming days if his toe injury is serious enough to keep him out in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old had season-highs in catches (six), targets (nine) […]

Josh Jacobs Out Sick Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Jacobs isn't on the COVID-19, but his status bears watching as the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos approaches on Sunday. As long as Jacobs gets on the practice field later this week, he should be considered likely […]

Darren Waller Remains Out Of Practice

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday. Waller hasn't practiced or played since Thanksgiving, so his fantasy managers must continue to have a backup plan in place in case he can't play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Whenever Waller gets back on the field, he'll immediately […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Limited Thursday

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) was limited in the team's first practice on Wednesday with a knee ailment. It doesn't seem like too serious of an injury for the 23-year-old, so unless he misses a practice later this week, Albert O should be active this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders. Okwuegbunam remains […]

Courtland Sutton Limited With Wrist Injury

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. The fact that Sutton is practicing to begin the week is a good sign, but we'll continue to keep an eye on him as the team prepares for a divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. The 26-year-old wideout […]

Javonte Williams Remains On The Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Williams was limited all last week and was questionable, but he was never in any danger of missing the game. The near-even timeshare between Williams and Gordon should continue in a good matchup in Week 16 against […]

Melvin Gordon III Idle To Begin The Week

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) didn't practice to begin the practice week on Wednesday. As long as Gordon can get back on the practice field within the next few days, he should be able to play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. He and rookie Javonte Williams each saw 15 […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Ronald Jones II is going to get his chance... again. Leonard Fournette has had an incredible season, but unfortunately is dealing with an injury that will likely keep him out for several weeks. After leaving last week's game with […]

Craig Reynolds (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The NFL is an unpredictable sport, and fantasy football is an unpredictable game. Exhibit A is Craig Reynolds, who has pretty much come out of nowhere to become a relevant running back for the Lions and fantasy managers. For the 2nd week […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week Austin Ekeler was dealing with an injury, so Justin Jackson received more touches than usual in the Thursday Night game against the Chiefs, racking up 13 carries for 86 yards. Firmly established as the number two running back on the Chargers, […]

Titans Defense- Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Tennessee Titans special teams/defense has allowed 19 points or less in four straight games and will look to continue their solid play against the San Francisco 49ers. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the 49ers having a team-implied total of 23.5. The Titans have allowed 329 total […]

Randy Bullock - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has converted at least two field goals in three of his last five games. The 32-year-old has drilled 22-of-26 field-goal attempts while converting 32-of-35 extra-point tries. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the Titans having a team-implied total of 20.5. Bullock has scored […]

Geoff Swaim - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans' tight end Geoff Swaim has been limited to one catch in three of his last four games. He continues to lead Tennessee's tight ends in snaps but isn't heavily utilized in the passing game as the veteran owns just 8% of the team's target share. The 28-year-old has caught 24 passes for 189 […]

Devin Bush Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was the latest Steelers player to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Bush is the team's starting inside linebacker, so the Steelers atrocious run defense could be even more compromised in Week 16 against the powerful Kansas City Chiefs offense. The 10th overall pick of the 2019 draft had […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine led the team in targets and yards in the Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is expected to serve as the Titans WR3 against the San Francisco 49ers, with wideouts A.J. Brown (chest) and Julio Jones (hamstring) expected to play Thursday Night. The 24-year-old has scored two […]

Pat Freiermuth Out With Concussion Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Freiermuth is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for this Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. […]

Dontrell Hilliard - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard continues to be the team's top pass-catching back and has caught at least four passes in two of his last four games. D'Onta Foreman (ankle) is expected to play and out carried Hilliard 22-to-9 in the Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This season, the 49ers rank 17th […]

Alex Collins Listed As Limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Collins should be healthy enough to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but there's no guarantee he'll see that much work behind Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas, who scored Seattle's lone […]

Duke Johnson (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before this week-long slate of games, we had only saw Duke Johnson once playing for Miami--or anyone, actually. He did so back on Week 11 when he logged a ridiculously laughable six snaps for 1.8 PPR points against the Jets... and that's it […]

Is Mike Evans Playing This Week? Is Chris Godwin Out For The Season?

As we head into Week 16, which is the fantasy football semifinals in most leagues, we must first debrief on what was one of the most hectic weeks in NFL history due to injuries and COVID-19 outbreaks across the league. Fantasy managers that want to advance to their league's championship matchup in Week 17 must […]

Is Leonard Fournette Playing This Week? Is Ronald Jones Worth Picking Up?

It's hard to believe, but Week 16 is nearly here. What's that mean? Well, in most fantasy football leagues, Week 16 represents the semifinal matchups. With players still getting injured all around the league and with guys constantly being put on and taken off the COVID-19 list, it's been even harder for fantasy managers to […]

DK Metcalf Limited On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (foot) and Freddie Swain (ankle) were both listed as limited participants on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Metcalf has been managing a foot injury since Week 4, but he hasn't missed any time on game days. The 24-year-old had a prime opportunity to snap out of a slump on Tuesday […]

Ryan Tannehill - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will look to turn things around Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers after failing to top 200 passing yards over his last three games. He will most likely have both his top targets back for Thursday Night Football as wide receivers A.J. Brown (chest) and Julio Jones (hamstring) are […]

Justin Fields Dealing With Ankle Issue

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Fields is dealing with a minor ankle injury ahead of the Week 16 date with the Seattle Seahawks, but he doesn't appear to be in any real danger of missing the game. The 22-year-old first-rounder has […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Out, Marquise Goodwin Limited

Chicago Bears wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday, while Marquise Goodwin (foot) was able to get in a limited session. Grant suffered a concussion in the Monday night loss to the Minnesota Vikings and is in danger of missing Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 29-year-old return man provided […]
