Aaron Rodgers Has Yet To Practice This Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) hasn't practiced this week, but he should be just fine to suit up on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Rodgers hasn't been practicing much since suffering a broken pinkie toe, but he's played through the injury the last five games and has 16 touchdowns […]

Erik McCoy Placed On COVID-19 List

The New Orleans Saints added starting center Erik McCoy to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and activated defensive ends Carl Granderson and Jalyn Holmes from the list. McCoy is just another addition to the team's growing COVID-19 list, and he's unlikely to be active for Sunday's game against the division-rival Carolina Panthers. With McCoy likely […]

Another Missed Practice For Jared Goff

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is trending towards his second straight missed game after missing another day of practice on Thursday. Goff has yet to practice this week after missing last week's game due to COVID-19. Unless he gets back on the practice field on Friday, it'll likely be Tim Boyle leading the Detroit […]

Drew Lock Puts In Full Practice, Teddy Bridgewater Still Out

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) missed his second straight day. Lock was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he's good to go for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers and is fully expected to make his second straight start with Bridgewater still in […]

Tyre Phillips Goes On Injured Reserve

The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive tackle/guard Tyre Phillips (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will likely end his season. Last year's third-round pick has started 13 games for the Ravens, but staying healthy has been a problem for him, as he played in only eight games in his rookie season and five games this […]

Jalen Hurts Bumps Up To Full Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) got in a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell (ankle) was also a full participant Thursday. Hurts appears to slowly be getting past his injured ankle after missing only one game. The 23-year-old threw for 296 yards, one touchdown and […]

Dak Prescott - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott broke out of his slump in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team, finishing as the QB2 overall in fantasy after three weeks of finishing outside of the top 20. It was a soft matchup, though, and Week 17's game against the Arizona Cardinals will be tougher, but Prescott should […]

Justin Fields Remains Limited Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fields will probably be questionable on the final injury report for Week 17 against the New York Giants, and head coach Matt Nagy said Fields needs to be pretty healthy in order to play. In other words, […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Missing Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is not in his practice attire during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday and is off to the side talking to a team doctor. It looks like Garoppolo will miss his second practice of the week due to a Grade 3 sprain of his […]

Ben Roethlisberger Sits Out Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) did not take part in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Roethlisberger has been held out of early practices for most of the year, so there's really nothing to see here. Expect him to get back on the practice field in the next couple of […]

Andrew Whitworth Back From COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Rams activated left tackle Andrew Whitworth from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Whitworth landed on the COVID list on Christmas Day last Saturday and didn't play in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The 40-year-old veteran will be back this Sunday to face the Baltimore Ravens, which is good news […]

DraftKings CFB DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy College Football (12/30/21) and Spread Picks

We now have college football every day until January 2, and not just one game per day like last week. Most wonderful time of the year, indeed! There are four games today, but the battle of the Carolinas begins before noon, so DraftKings left that off the main slate. Unfortunately, that means no Sam Howell. […]

Lamar Jackson Not Practicing Thursday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was not practicing on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It comes just one day after he was limping badly in practice on Wednesday when he was listed as limited. It's a downgrade for Jackson, and although the Ravens expected him to return from a two-game absence […]

Patrick Mekari Receives Three-Year Extension

The Baltimore Ravens signed versatile offensive lineman Patrick Mekari to a three-year contract extension that will take him through the 2024 season on Thursday. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Mekari has started 10 games at right tackle this year after finishing as Baltimore's starting center in 2020. "Pat is an easy decision," […]

Kyler Murray - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray enters the Week 17 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys as the QB11 on the season despite missing three games due to injury. Dallas is one of the toughest matchups for quarterbacks this season, as they've given up the fifth-fewest points to opposing signal-callers. Even against a stout defense like the […]

Kirk Cousins - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins enters his Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers ranked as the QB8 on the season. Only needing 29 passing yards to go over 4,000 on the year, Cousins has been one of the best values at the quarterback position. The matchup Sunday night isn't horrible, with Green […]

Ben Roethlisberger Suggests Week 17 Will Be Final Home Game

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger told the media on Thursday that Monday's game against the Cleveland Browns will be his final game at Heinz Field. "I don't ever speak in guarantees, but signs are pointing that this could be it," said Roethlisberger. The 39-year-old confirmed that this season would be his last earlier in the […]

Tyler Huntley Activated From COVID-19 List

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was activated off the COVID-IR on Thursday and will be eligible to play on Sunday. This is good news for the Ravens since Lamar Jackson was reportedly severely limited in practice on Wednesday, moving with a noticeable limp. The Ravens may still choose to play their star, even if he […]

Is Joe Burrow Cementing Himself as a Fantasy QB1?

Coming out of LSU with a national championship and 60 touchdown passes, Joe Burrow was the clear number one draft pick for the Cincinnati Bengals. Surprisingly for all, including their own fans, they made the obvious choice and thus far, it has worked out. After an early portion of his rookie season of being brutalized […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially A DNP Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) was officially listed as a DNP for Wednesday's practice. Garoppolo is dealing with a Grade 3 sprain of his right thumb and also has a small fracture in there, but there's a chance he'll be able to give it a go in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. […]

Drew Lock Limited, Teddy Bridgewater Still Not Practicing

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) remained out with a concussion. Although Lock is dealing with a new injury, he's expected to get the start for the second straight week after Bridgewater suffered a scary head injury in Week 15. In his […]

Lamar Jackson Limited In Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday, but he was noticeably limping. It's good news that Jackson is back on the practice field and trending in the right direction for a return to action in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams, but his status will […]

Limited Practice For Jalen Hurts Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) was limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Hurts continues to manage an ankle injury that caused him to miss only one game, but he should be fine to play in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. Just two weeks ago, Hurts threw for 297 […]

Cam Robinson Lands On COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars placed left tackle Cam Robinson, wide receiver/kick returner Jaydon Mickens and linebacker Dylan Moses on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, bringing the team's total to 25 players on the list. The Jaguars took a big hit last Sunday when starting running back James Robinson tore his Achilles, and now the Jacksonville offense […]

Taylor Lewan Activated From COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans activated left tackle Taylor Lewan (back) from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, and he was able to practice in full. Lewan was placed on the COVID list following last Thursday's win over the San Francisco 49ers, but he won't be required to miss a game under the league's new protocols. It's good […]

Justin Fields Off To A Good Start This Week

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) put in a limited practice on Wednesday after he was inactive last week. Andy Dalton (groin) also practiced in full, meaning that it's unlikely we'll see Nick Foles make a second straight start despite leading the team to a comeback win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week 16. […]

Aaron Rodgers Hasn't Ruled Out Retirement After This Year

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers isn't ruling out retirement after this season. "I'm just enjoying this season for this season, and playing next year will definitely be in the thought process," Rodgers said. It's possible that Rodgers could hang up his cleats and walk off into the sunset if he wins his second Super […]

Taysom Hill Activated From COVID-19 List

The New Orleans Saints activated quarterbacks Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian and linebacker Demario Davis from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Rookie Ian Book was forced to make his first career NFL start on Monday night against the Miami Dolphins and predictably face-planted against a really good Dolphins defense. Hill's return as the starting QB […]

Jared Goff Still Dealing With Knee Injury

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) said that he's still dealing with a knee injury that he suffered at the end of the first half in the Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Goff was out in Week 16 due to COVID-19, but he's off the list and missed practice on Wednesday with his […]
