How The Dallas Cowboys Make The 2024 NFL Playoffs With Three Games To Go

The Dallas Cowboys had rebuilt serious playoff hopes going into Week 14 but dropped a heartbreaker to Cincinnati on Monday Night Football. Still, a statement win in Week 15 over the Panthers provides a glimmer of hope over the final few weeks. Was it enough to keep the postseason window open? The answer to whether […]

Titans D/ST, Falcons D/ST, Bengals D/ST - Fantasy Football Defense Streamers, Waiver Wire Starts

Choosing which D/ST to start in fantasy football can become a difficult weekly endeavor. Some team's defenses play extremely well to start the season, but get severely hampered by injuries and take massive steps back. Sometimes, some D/STs will look like great starts, but end up disappointing. It's also easy to think more highly of […]

2025 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Late Season Edition

It's hard to believe there are just a few weeks left in the 2024 NFL regular season.

Zane Gonzalez, Greg Joseph Miss Practice For Personal Reasons

Washington Commanders kickers Zane Gonzalez (foot, personal) and Greg Joseph (personal) both missed practice on Wednesday. Head coach Dan Quinn noted that, in an unlikely twist, both Gonzalez and Joseph are away from the team as they welcome newborns to their respective families. The former has been sidelined since Week 13 due to a foot […]

Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis Limited With Back Injuries

New York Jets running backs Braelon Allen (back) and Isaiah Davis (back) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. As the Jets prepare for Week 16, Allen and Davis are two names to monitor. Typically, players who are limited on Wednesday manage to log full sessions by Friday, but that's never a guarantee. Having Allen […]

Luke McCaffrey Limited In Practice On Wednesday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Any sort of appearance on the injury report is less than ideal, but the good news for McCaffrey and the Commanders is that he did participate in a limited capacity. Plus, he still has two more days to upgrade to a […]

Sterling Shepard Doesn't Participate In Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. As Week 16 prep begins, the Buccaneers are without their No. 3 receiver. Any sort of injury should raise concern for fantasy managers, especially with the fantasy playoffs in full swing. However, it's too early to hit the panic button. Shepard still […]

David Moore Limited To Kick Off Week 16 Prep

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore (concussion) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Moore presumably suffered the concussion last Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. It's not very common for players to practice just three days after suffering a concussion, but this certainly doesn't mean that Moore is in the clear. The 29-year-old still […]

Cade Otton Absent From Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. As preparation for Week 16 begins, Otton was not involved. Although any sort of injury is concerning, especially in the fantasy football playoffs, managers should not panic yet. Otton still has two more days to log a limited or full […]

Bucky Irving Limited As Week 16 Prep Begins

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (back, hip) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The rookie has appeared in all 14 games this season but has played more than 55 percent of offensive snaps in just one game. So far, he has 852 rushing yards, 296 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. We […]

Noah Fant Limited During Wednesday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was limited during practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed three games earlier this season, but other than that, he's been mostly healthy. Any sort of appearance on the injury report is concerning, but the good news for Fant is that he did manage to practice in some capacity. […]

Geno Smith Logs Full Practice On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. The veteran signal-caller was able to begin Week 16 prep without any limitations, and all signs point to him playing on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The 34-year-old has been underwhelming in five games since the Seahawks' bye week, averaging just 21.2 completions, 212.6 […]

DK Metcalf Misses Practice As Week 16 Prep Begins

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. While any sort of injury is concerning, especially with the fantasy playoffs in full swing, it should be noted that Wednesday absences are sometimes precautionary. The Seahawks could be giving Metcalf a little extra time to recover from last Sunday's contest […]

Kenneth Walker III Opens Week 16 With A Missed Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. The 24-year-old has already missed two games in a row, and it now looks like there's a real chance he could miss a third. Losing Walker to an injury hurts by itself, but the Seahawks' backfield could get even more […]

Griffin Canning Agrees With Mets On One-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Griffin Canning and the New York Mets agreed to a one-year, $4.25 million deal on Wednesday, pending a physical, according to sources. The deal includes $1 million in potential bonuses. Canning spent the 2024 season with the Los Angeles Angels before being traded to the Atlanta Braves in the deal involving outfielder Jorge […]
