Tutu Atwell Officially Cleared For Week 16

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has cleared concussion protocol and practiced in full this week. He will play against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. Despite Atwell's health, he's merely a depth option within the Los Angeles' passing attack, which is headlined by a top-heavy core of Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. […]

Yuki Matsui, Padres Agree On Four-Year Deal

Japanese free-agent left-handed reliever Yuki Matsui and the San Diego Padres agreed in principle on a four-year, $21 million deal on Wednesday. With All-Star left-handed closer Josh Hader set to leave the Padres in free agency this winter, Matsui could be tabbed as San Diego's primary closer in 2024 in his very first year in […]

Matt Gay Estimated As Non-Participant Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay (right hip) was listed as a non-participant on the team's practice estimation Wednesday. Given that Gay kicks with his right leg, he could have trouble suiting up in Week 16 if this injury persists. Fantasy managers invested in his availability should check back for more updates when the Colts announce […]

Treylon Burks, Kyle Philips Miss Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receivers Treylon Burks (illness) and Kyle Philips (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday. One would imagine that Burks will be able to recover between now and kickoff on Sunday, though we might not get official confirmation on his status until later this week. Philips, on the other hand, is far less of a […]

Mets Acquire Adrian Houser, Tyrone Taylor From Brewers

The New York Mets acquired right-hander Adrian Houser and outfielder Tyrone Taylor from the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday in exchange for a minor-league right-hander Coleman Crow, whom the Mets acquired in the Eduardo Escobar trade, according to a source. The deal clears money for the Brewers, with Houser projected to make $5.6 million in salary […]

De'Anthony Melton Won't Return On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (thigh) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Melton played 16 minutes in the first half before exiting due to a thigh contusion. The Sixers are going to take the cautious approach and hold him out for the rest of the game. Patrick Beverley started in the second […]

Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp, Demarcus Robinson: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 16

Week 16 of the NFL season gets underway with a Thursday night matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans Saints. Week 16 also signifies the fantasy football playoff semi-finals in most leagues, which puts fantasy managers in a win-or-go-home situation. Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp, and Demarcus Robinson are names that are squarely on […]

Sam Hauser To Start On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum (ankle) for Wednesday's game, but hopefully it won't be a long term absence. Tatum hurt his ankle during Tuesday's game, so most likely the Celtics are just playing it […]

Greg Dulcich Still Not Practicing

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring, foot), who was designated to return to practice last week while being on Injured Reserve, did not practice on Wednesday. Head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that Dulcich "had some swelling and soreness" in his foot, although the team still expects him to return this season. Dulcich […]

Seth Curry Available Versus Clippers

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to back spasms. He ended up being a game-time decision, but is ultimately cleared to suit up. It's worth noting that Curry only played seven minutes during […]

Marcus Smart Doubtful For Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (foot) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Indiana Pacers. There was hope earlier this week that Smart would return, but it seems unlikely now ahead of Thursday's contest. Smart continues to deal with a left foot sprain, but hopefully can return on Saturday, assuming he's unable to […]

Shaedon Sharpe Ruled Out For Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (groin) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Sharpe was forced to exit after eight minutes during Tuesday's game due to a groin issue. The Blazers are going to play it safe and hold Sharpe out of Thursday's contest. His absence should mean more […]

Rico Dowdle Still On The Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) can't manage to escape the injury report due to an ankle injury that kept him limited in practice on Wednesday. It's not an injury serious enough to cause him to miss any games, though, so he should be expected to play this Sunday in a big game on […]

Week 16 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'd like to address NFL disasters that were easy to see coming. While this topic deserves a full-blown article, I have just two paragraphs to fit this in. Because of that limit, I will try to be brief in my arguments. I will also write a more […]

Paul George Ruled Out On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He was questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to an illness. The Clippers will likely use a committee approach to help fill the void. That means, Norman Powell, Terance Mann, Bones Hyland, […]

Seth Curry Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Seth Curry (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran guard was a late addition to the injury report due to back spasms. He's a solid option for three pointers, but doesn't offer much value outside of that. Curry hasn't been a huge part of […]

Chase Brown Upgrades To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (chest) was able to upgrade to a full practice session on Wednesday after he was listed as limited in practice on Tuesday. The 23-year-old came out of Saturday's overtime victory over the Minnesota Vikings with a sternum injury, but it shouldn't keep him from being available in this […]

Greg Dortch Misses Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (shoulder) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Dortch could be in danger of missing his second game of the year after apparently picking up a shoulder injury in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even if Dortch were […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Practice With Shoulder Injury

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is dealing with a new shoulder injury that kept him from participating in Wednesday's practice. Wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) was also not at practice. It's unclear how serious the 23-year-old's shoulder injury is, but fantasy managers certainly are hoping Walker will be available this Sunday against […]

Durham Smythe Tagged As Limited Wednesday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) continues to manage an ankle injury and put in a limited practice session on Wednesday. Smythe should play in Sunday's big matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16 unless he suffers a setback in practice later this week. The 28-year-old has been off the fantasy radar all […]

Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane Miss Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running backs Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) and rookie De'Von Achane (toe) were both listed as non-participants in Wednesday's practice. Mostert misses most Wednesday practices for veteran rest. He has not missed a single game in 2023 and leads the NFL with an incredible 18 rushing touchdowns, including seven in the last four games. […]

Cooper Kupp - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1 ANALYSIS: After battling through injuries across the first half of the season, Kupp has started to look more like himself recently.

Ndamukong Suh Visits With Dolphins

Free-agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh visited with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday, according to the league's transaction wire. Suh had no intentions of signing with a team and going through training camp with them this summer, and he remains on the open market while potentially looking to latch on with a contending team if it's […]

Zay Flowers Dealing With Foot Injury

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) is managing a foot injury this week and didn't take part in the team's unofficial practice on Wednesday. However, head coach John Harbaugh is not concerned with Flowers' injury and expects him to play in a potential Super Bowl preview on Christmas night against the San Francisco […]

Chris Godwin Still Managing Knee Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) is on the Week 16 injury report after putting in a limited practice on Wednesday. Godwin dealt with a knee injury last week but managed to play in the Week 15 win over the Green Bay Packers for what was his best game of the season. He […]

Cleveland Browns running backs Jerome Ford (wrist) and Kareem Hunt (groin) were both limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Both Ford and Hunt have been on the injury report in recent weeks but haven't missed any games. Ford continues to serve as Cleveland's primary early-down option in the backfield, but […]
