Cole Kmet Added To Week 16 Injury Report

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (quadriceps) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Thursday after he put in a limited practice.

Jameson Williams A Deep-League Flex Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw a career-high seven targets in last week's victory over the Denver Broncos. He only caught four of them for 47 yards, but it was a notable performance. In eight of his nine prior contests, Williams earned three or fewer targets. If he can post at least five targets […]

Chargers Rule Out Keenan Allen For Week 16

The Los Angeles Chargers have ruled out wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) for the Week 16 contest versus the Buffalo Bills on Saturday evening.

Rams Activate Ronnie Rivers From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams activated running back Ronnie Rivers (knee) from Injured Reserve prior to Thursday night's game against the New Orleans Saints. Rivers, 24, hasn't played since Week 6 and can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues now that he's back. He will be providing more RB depth for the Rams […]

Sam LaPorta A High-End TE1 In Week 16

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta posted five catches for 56 yards and three touchdowns last week, reminding fantasy managers that he's a must-start stud at the position.

Amon-Ra St. Brown In For Another Big Day In Week 16

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught just five total passes in Week 13 and Week 14, which was shocking given his two-year history of commanding a ton of targets and catching a high volume of passes. However, he bounced back in Week 15, snagging seven of his nine targets for 112 yards and […]

David Montgomery An RB2 With Upside Against Vikings

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery saw his four-game touchdown streak snapped in Week 14, and he wasn't able to find the end zone in Week 15 either.

Jahmyr Gibbs Has Plenty Of Upside In Tough Week 16 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was spectacular last week in a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos, rushing 11 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and catching two passes for eight yards and another score. Although he'll face a tough matchup in Week 16, he has earned a "must-start" tag due to his […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Out Of Practice Again

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is missing a second consecutive day of practice leading up to their Sunday night game against the Denver Broncos.

Jared Goff Has QB1 Outlook Against Vikings

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is coming off a five-touchdown performance against the Denver Broncos. His Week 15 showing marked the ninth time in 14 games that he has posted at least two touchdowns. He's been reliable for most of the 2023 season, and fantasy managers should be able to count on him in Week […]

White Sox Designate Luis Patino For Assignment

The Chicago White Sox have designated right-hander Luis Patino for assignment. In a corresponding move, the club selected the contract of right-hander Josimar Cousin from Double-A Birmingham. It's been a significant fall from grace for Patino, a former top prospect with the San Diego Padres. The highly-touted righty was moved to the Tampa Bay Rays […]

Widener posted a decent 4.26 ERA across […]

Randy Bullock Place On Injured Reserve

New York Giants kicker Randy Bullock (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve on Thursday due to the hamstring strain that knocked him out of Week 15's loss to the New Orleans Saints.

No Practice For Zay Jones Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. After hurting his hamstring late in the Week 15 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Jones is being considered week-to-week and probably isn't going to be ready to play by Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's bad […]

Trevor Lawrence Not At Thursday's Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle, concussion) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday.

Christian Watson, Jayden Reed Miss Practice Again

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (toe, chest) both missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Watson injured his hamstring in Week 13 and hasn't played the last two weeks. It doesn't appear he's close to returning for Week 16 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Reed, meanwhile, […]

Luke Musgrave Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers opened rookie tight end Luke Musgrave's (kidney) 21-day practice window to be activated from Injured Reserve on Thursday.

Houston Texans rookie first-round quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday.

Kadarius Toney Won't Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip) will not practice on Thursday due to a strained hip.

Jerick McKinnon Misses Thursday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon (groin) did not practice with the team on Thursday due to a groin injury, according to head coach Andy Reid.
