Treylon Burks Out Sick Again

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (illness) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Meanwhile, fellow receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring) returned to a limited practice after sitting out Wednesday's session. Burks is going to need to return to the practice field on Friday to avoid being ruled out for […]

Will Levis Sits Out Of Practice Again

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Veteran Ryan Tannehill got extensive work with the offense once again and is in line to start this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks if Levis is forced out due to his high-ankle sprain. Tannehill hasn't played since Oct. 15 […]

Kendre Miller Will Be Inactive Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) will be inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams, according to a source. Miller returned to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since spraining his ankle in Week 9. However, the 21-year-old third-rounder from TCU will still end […]

Travis Kelce Dealing With Neck Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (neck) is dealing with a neck injury following the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots, although he was able to practice in full on Thursday. Kelce looked to be in some pain late in Sunday's win over the Pats, but the injury doesn't appear to be […]

Isiah Pacheco Back On Track After Full Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Pacheco didn't practice or play at all the last two weeks, but the Chiefs expect him to return for the Christmas Day battle on Monday against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Fantasy managers should have already thrown Pacheco back into […]

Michael Mayer Dealing With Toe Ailment

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed the team's first practice of the week on Thursday due to a toe injury. It remains to be seen if Mayer's toe injury is serious enough to keep him out for Monday's Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The 22-year-old is coming […]

No Practice For Josh Jacobs On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Raiders are optimistic that Jacobs will be able to return in Week 16 for a Christmas Day game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, but it's not a great sign that […]

DeVonta Smith Held Out Of Thursday's Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (knee) did not practice on Thursday due to a knee issue. He was spotted on the sideline in street clothes and was held out of Thursday's practice. According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Smith hadn't been practicing in full due to a knee injury and suffered a […]

Mikhail Sergachev Out On Thursday

Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Mikhail Sergachev (lower body) won't play on Thursday against the Golden Knights. The Russian blue-liner has to skip a clash against the reigning Stanley Cup champions due to a lower-body injury sustained in the previous game versus St. Louis. He is expected to return after one or two games, so luckily […]

Week 9: Dynasty Risers And Fallers For Fantasy Basketball

Happy holidays RotoBallers! Christmas Day NBA games are right around the corner and All-Star voting has already begun. 'Tis the season to vote your home team's roster and snub the superstars that everyone hates from the rival team. Well, as long as that karma doesn't come back to haunt your fantasy team. Welcome back to […]

Cale Makar A Game-Time Decision Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (lower body) is considered a game-time decision for Thursday's clash with the Senators. A lower-body injury has kept Makar out of action for three games, but it looks like he could be back on Thursday. It's been business as usual for Makar in 2023-24 as one of the premier blue-liners […]

Jeff Skinner, Jordan Greenway On Track To Return For Sabres Thursday

Buffalo Sabres wingers Jeff Skinner (upper body) and Jordan Greenway (upper body) are poised to return to the lineup for Thursday's matchup against Toronto. Both players have been activated from Injured Reserve ahead of the clash. Greenway has been absent for nine games, while Skinner has missed the last three. The latter is definitely the […]

Matt Gay Back At Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (hip) missed Wednesday's practice with a right-hip injury but was back on the practice field in a limited fashion on Thursday, giving him a chance to play on Sunday versus the Atlanta Falcons. As long as Gay doesn't suffer a setback with his hip in Friday's practice, the 29-year-old should […]

Zack Moss Trending In The Wrong Direction

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Moss injured his forearm in the Week 15 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday and is trending towards missing this Sunday's contest on the road in Atlanta against the Falcons. He has one more day on […]

Michael Pittman Jr. On The Right Track In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion, shoulder) was able to put in a full practice on Thursday following a limited session he had on Wednesday. Pittman is in the league's concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in last Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it looks like he's on his way […]

Sean Durzi Back In Action Thursday

Arizona Coyotes defenseman Sean Durzi (lower body) is ready to rejoin the action Thursday against San Jose. The versatile rearguard has missed the past five games with a lower-body issue. Durzi has produced 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 25 games during his first year in the desert, adding 53 blocks on the defensive […]

Dak Prescott A Solid Choice Despite A Tough Matchup In Week 16

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a solid fantasy option in Week 16 lineups despite a difficult matchup against the Miami Dolphins on the road. Prescott has been the overall fantasy QB2 since Week 8, putting up five top-three fantasy performances in that span. He struggled last week though, putting up just seven fantasy points […]

Mason McTavish Expected To Return On Thursday

Anaheim Ducks forward Mason McTavish (upper body) looks to be on track to return to the lineup Thursday against the Flames. Eric Stephens of The Athletic has noted that there is a "strong chance" McTavish returns from a seven-game absence in the matchup. McTavish was in impressive form through the first few weeks of the […]

Jamie Drysdale Set To Return On Thursday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Jamie Drysdale (lower body) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to rejoin the lineup Thursday versus Calgary. The 21-year-old has been sidelined for 29 games. He posted two assists in two games at the start of the season before hitting the shelf for two months. Urho Vaakanainen will likely […]

Chargers Defense Not A Fantasy Option In Week 16

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is not a starting fantasy option in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. The Chargers are coming off a game where they allowed 63 points to a Raiders team that had been shut out the week before. Now taking on an actually good offense in the Buffalo Bills, […]

Cameron Dicker Not A Strong Starting Option In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is not a strong starting option in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Dicker only attempted (and made) three extra points in a Week 15 loss. With the Chargers offense struggling in all aspects with Easton Stick under center and Keenan Allen (heel) out for another game, […]

Gerald Everett Has A Decent Week 16 Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett has seen his fantasy arrow pointing up lately and has a decent matchup in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Everett has been the fantasy TE13 in the past four weeks, even with Easton Stick in there for two of those games. The Bills have allowed […]

Jalen Guyton Unlikely To Be Fantasy Relevant In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton is unlikely to be a fantasy relevant option in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Guyton has nine catches all season and will work behind Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston on an offense led by Easton Stick. Guyton has the speed to break off a long […]

Quentin Johnston Not Worth A Start In Most Lineups In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston is not worth a starting spot in most fantasy lineups in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Johnston hasn't done much all season, but he's been even more of an afterthought in the passing game when Joshua Palmer is active. With Keenan Allen (heel) out, […]

Joshua Palmer Has Some Upside Despite A Tough Week 16 Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer has some fantasy upside in Week 16 despite a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Making the matchup tougher is the fact that quarterback Easton Stick will be leading the Los Angeles offense instead of Justin Herbert, but still someone has to catch his passes, and Palmer seems […]

Isaiah Spiller Could Repeat A Big Role In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Isaiah Spiller could have a big role again in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Spiller led the Chargers backfield in Week 15, picking up 50 yards on 16 carries. It was hard to tell what the real plan was as the Chargers had no chance as early […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Off Fantasy Radar In Week 16

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo saw at least five targets in three games from Week 12 to Week 14, but he earned just three targets in Week 15 against the Houston Texans. The second-year pro has not established himself on the fantasy radar this season, meaning there's no reason to start him against the […]

Joshua Kelley Unlikely To Do Much In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley is unlikely to do much in a Week 16 game against the Buffalo Bills. Kelley was an afterthought in Week 15, where Isaiah Spiller led the backfield and Austin Ekeler got his work in as well. Kelley ended up with five carries for 22 yards and one catch […]

Austin Ekeler A Risky Choice In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is a risky fantasy option in Week 16 lineups. The flailing Chargers will face the Buffalo Bills, who need a win to keep up in the AFC playoff race. Last week, Ekeler only played 40% of the team's offensive snaps, turning nine touches into 38 total yards. With […]
