Derek Carr Practices In Full Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr (groin) was able to practice in full on Wednesday. This is a bit surprising after Carr suffered a significant groin strain in last Thursday's loss to the Chargers. Carr and backup Marcus Mariota have received repetitions in practice so far this week, so the Raiders likely won't make a […]

Red Sox Sign Matt Andriese

The Boston Red Sox agreed to a one-year deal with right-handed pitcher Matt Andriese on Wednesday. The deal includes a team option for the 2022 season. In addition, Boston claimed catcher Deivy Grullon off waivers from the Reds. Andriese made 16 appearances (one start) for the Angels in 2020 and had a 4.50 ERA, 1.00 […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 16

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis.

[…]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) thinks he's on track to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Eagles despite a calf injury that has bothered him for the last three weeks and kept him on the sidelines in Week 15 against the 49ers for the first time in his career. Elliott did some […]

Nikita Kucherov To Miss Regular Season

Tampa Bay Lightning right-winger Nikita Kucherov will reportedly miss the entirety of the regular season due to a hip injury that requires surgery.

Tyreek Hill, Clyde Edwards-Helaire Don't Practice

George Kittle Worth Starting If He Plays

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) has been sidelined since Week 8 after fracturing his foot.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jordan Reed managed to score his fourth touchdown of the year in Week 15.

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that pass-rusher Brian Burns (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday, but he will not require surgery.

Kendrick Bourne Not Trustworthy In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne had his best fantasy performance of the year in Week 15, catching four passes for 86 yards and a touchdown.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has seen a whopping 29 targets over his past two games. Over that stretch, he's caught 19 passes for 192 yards and a touchdown. This week, as the 49ers face the Arizona Cardinals, Aiyuk will be catching passes from the team's third-string quarterback C.J. Beathard with Nick Mullens […]

Tytus Howard Unlikely To Play Against Bengals

Houston Texans interim head coach Romeo Crennel said that it's "unlikely" that offensive lineman Tytus Howard (concussion) will play in Week 16 against the Bengals after suffering a concussion in the Week 15 loss to the Colts. The 24-year-old first-round pick in 2019 has started all 14 games for Houston's offensive line this year, so […]

Tyler Boyd In Concussion Protocol

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Boyd left the team's Monday night win over the Steelers early with the head injury and didn't return to the contest. The 26-year-old is highly questionable to play in Week 16 on a short week against […]

D'Andre Swift Could Struggle Against Buccaneers

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift will have several mitigating factors that could hamper his fantasy value against the Buccaneers in Week 16.

On top of that, the Lions […]

John Brown Remains On Injured Reserve

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver John Brown (ankle) will practice on Wednesday, but he remains on Injured Reserve. Brown is trending in the right direction and could be activated to play in time for Monday night's meeting with the division-rival Patriots. New England's secondary will be much more vulnerable without […]

Justin Jefferson A WR1 Option Against Saints

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will go up against a tough Saints Defense in Week 16 on Christmas Day.

Tevin Coleman Lacking Defined Role For Week 16

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman might have an opportunity for extra work in Week 16 against the Arizona Cardinals now that the team will be without Raheem Mostert (ankle), their No. 1 back. However, it's tough to bank on. Jeff Wilson Jr. figures to be the team's primary rusher this week, and Jerick […]
