Christian Watson Doubtful To Face Panthers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) is officially doubtful to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. This was widely expected after he missed back-to-back practices. The 24-year-old has struggled to stay healthy and is trending towards missing his sixth game this season, assuming he's confirmed as inactive on Sunday. The Packers […]

Reds Ink Hernan Perez To Minors Deal

The Cincinnati Reds have signed utility player Hernan Perez to a minor-league deal. The 32-year-old hasn't appeared in the big leagues since the 2021 season with the Washington Nationals but has rather spent the last two seasons playing in Korea and Mexico. Originally signed out of Venezuela by the Tigers, Perez received significant playing time […]

Luke Musgrave Ruled Out For Week 16

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (kidney) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Carolina Panthers. He remains on injured reserve and will miss his fifth consecutive game. This was widely expected, and Week 17 appears to be a much more realistic return date for the rookie. Until he's back, the Packers […]

Cubs Sign Joe Hudson To Minor-League Pact

The Chicago Cubs have signed catcher Joe Hudson to a minor-league deal. The 32-year-old hasn't appeared in the big leagues since the COVID-shortened 2020 season when he hit .176 across just 20 plate appearances with the Seattle Mariners. A sixth-round pick of the Reds in 2012, Hudson has spent the last three seasons at Triple-A […]

Jahan Dotson Not A Good Option In Week 16

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson should not be in starting lineups in Week 16. This week, the Commanders are taking on the New York Jets, a team currently allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Not only is the matchup an issue, but Dotson doesn't even see consistent […]

Twins Bring In Niko Goodrum On Minor-League Pact

The Minnesota Twins have signed utility player Niko Goodrum to a minor-league deal. The signing is of the full-circle variety as the Twins drafted Goodrum in the second round of the 2010 draft while he debuted in the big leagues with the club for 11 games in the 2017 season. However, the bulk of Goodrum's […]

Curtis Samuel A Flex Option Against Jets

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel could be a solid option in Week 16. This week, the Commanders are taking on the New York Jets on the road. Although the Jets have one of the best pass defenses in the NFL, the seventh-year receiver has seen consistent usage on a weekly basis with quarterback Sam […]

Jalen Nailor Ruled Out For Week 16

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Week 16 versus the Detroit Lions. This does not come as a surprise considering Nailor missed all three practices leading up to the weekend. The 24-year-old has just three catches for 29 yards this season. As a result, his absence will have […]

Shelby Miller Inks One-Year Deal With Tigers

Free agent pitcher Shelby Miller has agreed to a one-year contract with the Detroit Tigers pending a physical. After working to a tidy 3.02 ERA across 33 starts in 2015 as a member of the D-backs, Miller has endured a wealth of injuries combined with severe underperformance when healthy. However, the 33-year-old bounced back in […]

Alexander Mattison Questionable To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) returned to practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Week 16 versus the Detroit Lions. While Mattison doesn't appear to be 100 percent quite yet, it's a good sign that the Vikings are leaving the door open for him to play. The bad news, though, […]

Kyle Philips Won't Play In Week 16

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 16 versus the Seattle Seahawks. He had been trending in the right direction ever since missing Wednesday's practice, but evidently it wasn't enough. He'll miss Sunday's game, and so will Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (hand), who was placed on injured reserve this week. Look […]

Will Levis Questionable For Week 16

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (ankle) is questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

With that said, the rookie's relatively mediocre […]

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert has struggled to reclaim a significant role in the backfield after missing five games.

Antonio Gibson A Flex Play With Upside Against Jets

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson has been a frustrating player this season. Despite having a perfect scenario set up for him as the lead back in Week 15, the Commanders, for whatever reason, limited his touches to just nine. Now in Week 16, with starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) being ruled out […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane was limited last week due to a toe injury, as he had nine carries for 32 yards and three catches for 30 yards.

Darnell Mooney A Weak Option For Week 16

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney had an opportunity to achieve the unthinkable in Week 15 by catching a last-second Hail Mary against the Browns, but he couldn't secure the catch despite the ball falling into his hands.

Roschon Johnson Role Unclear For Week 16

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson emerged as the primary backfield contributor in Week 15, registering nine total touches for 60 yards.

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons.
