Javonte Williams Will See More Opportunities In Week 16

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams could very well lead Denver's backfield in the Week 16 divisional game on Thursday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16 after Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) being ruled out. However, Williams could be splitting touches pretty evenly with rookie Audric Estime, and the matchup is not a friendly […]

Justice Hill Out For Personal Reasons On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (personal) missed the team's practice on Wednesday due to personal reasons. The Ravens still have one more day of practice this week on Thursday before heading into a big Week 16 divisional clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The 27-year-old Hill should be back with the team before […]

Joe Mixon Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) had his reps limited in practice for the second straight day on Wednesday in advance of the team's Week 16 contest on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Signed By New Orleans

According to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Football Network, the New Orleans Saints have signed free agent running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Edwards-Helaire was released by the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. The 25-year-old did not play in a game this season as he was on the non-football injury list for most of the first […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Ruled Out For Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. McLaughlin opened the week as a non-participate but was able to upgrade to a limited participant on Tuesday. However, he was downgraded on Thursday and will set his sights on returning in Week 17 to face […]

Kimani Vidal Too Risky To Start In Fantasy Lineups In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal is far too risky to start in a key fantasy matchup like Week 16. The Chargers take on the Denver Broncos on Thursday Night Football, and the Broncos defense has been tough on opposing running backs all season long. Vidal has shown some flashes in his rookie […]

Gus Edwards Not Worth Much Fantasy Consideration In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards is not in the fantasy starter conversation in a Week 16 Thursday Night Football game against the Denver Broncos. Edwards is the top running back on the Chargers depth chart, but he's been horribly inefficient all season which has forced the Chargers to rely more on the passing […]

Seahawks Optimistic Kenneth Walker III Will Return To Practice This Week

According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, the Seattle Seahawks remain optimistic regarding the status of their top running back, Kenneth Walker III (calf).

Tyrone Tracy Jr. On The Week 16 Injury Report

New York Giants rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report on Wednesday after he put in a limited practice. It's a new injury for Tracy, so his status is worth watching the rest of the week, but if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on […]

Isaac Guerendo Dealing With New Injury, Missing Wednesday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) is not taking part in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

Tony Pollard Missing Wednesday's Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday ahead of the Week 16 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran did not practice at all last week due to an ankle injury and still played against the Cincinnati Bengals, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait until Sunday to truly […]

Tony Jones Added To Cardinals Practice Squad

The Arizona Cardinals signed veteran free-agent running back Tony Jones to the practice squad on Wednesday, according to NFL.com. The 27-year-old was on the team's preseason roster but was released just ahead of the regular season. With Emari Demercado (back) on Injured Reserve and Trey Benson (ankle) dealing with an ankle injury, the Cardinals running […]

Roschon Johnson Practicing In Full

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) was listed as a full participant for the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday.

Raiders Put Sincere McCormick On Injured Reserve

The Las Vegas Raiders announced on Wednesday that they placed running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve.

David Montgomery Seeking Third Opinion On Knee

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (knee) is seeking a third opinion on his injured knee, which is why the Lions have yet to place him on Injured Reserve, according to head coach Dan Campbell.

Browns Place Nick Chubb On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns announced on Wednesday that they have officially placed running back Nick Chubb (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve.

Breece Hall, Braelon Allen Not Practicing On Wednesday

New York Jets running backs Breece Hall (knee) and rookie Braelon Allen (back) are both sitting out of Wednesday's walkthrough practice and are being evaluated. The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt reports that Hall is further along with his injury than Allen, according to interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich, which means Hall is more likely to play […]

Is T.J. Watt Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles.
