Julio Jones Trending Up
Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, ribs) is trending up faster than last week. He will take part in the walkthrough and could practice on Thursday. Jones continues to fight through injuries late in the year, but he should play in the Week 17 season finale against the Buccaneers […]
T.Y. Hilton Still Missing From Practice
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is missing his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Hilton has rarely seen the practice field in the last couple of weeks but continues to play on game day and has been very productive, going over 100 yards receiving in four of the last six games. Hilton […]
Randall Cobb Returns To Practice Thursday
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It's a good sign for Cobb after he sat out in Week 16. If he plays in the Week 17 finale against the Lions, he could be a sneaky DFS dart throw if one or both of […]
Davante Adams, Equanimeous St. Brown Not Practicing
Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) are both missing practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Adams was working on the side with trainers, while St. Brown was riding a bike. It doesn't bode well for their availability in the Week 17 season finale against the Lions, […]
Jordan Reed, Colt McCoy Placed On Injured Reserve
The Washington Redskins placed tight end Jordan Reed (toe) and quarterback Colt McCoy (leg) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Despite staying healthy until the end and playing in 13 games this year, Reed underwhelmed his fantasy owners with 54 catches for 558 yards and two touchdowns. He never gained chemistry with quarterback Alex Smith and […]
No Practice For DeSean Jackson Thursday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It's not looking good for his chances of playing in Week 17 against the Falcons. ESPN's Josina Anderson was also told that Jackson has expressed his preference to move on from Tampa this offseason. He leads the NFL […]
Allen Robinson Could Be Rested This Weekend
Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (ribs), who missed practice on Wednesday, is a good bet to get some healing time in Week 17 against the Vikings. While the Bears are still trying to grab a first-round bye, they need a win and a Rams loss to accomplish it. They could decide to limit Robinson's […]
Leonard Fournette Expected To Miss Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is not expected to take part in practice on Thursday. Fournette was limited on Wednesday, so it's unclear if this is a setback or if the team is just resting him. Either way, he'll be a shaky volume-based RB2 in the season finale against a strong Texans […]
Odell Beckham Jr. Not Expected To Practice
New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur doesn't expect wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) to practice on Thursday. Beckham has missed the last three games and looks primed to miss a fourth straight to close out the 2018 season. If that's the case, he'll finish with 77 catches (124 targets) for 1,052 yards and […]
Ryan Griffin Could Play Against Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said on Monday that the team would like to see quarterback Ryan Griffin take his first snaps in the NFL in a regular season game in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Falcons. "The guy's been here for three years," Koetter said. "He's worked his tail off." […]
Teddy Bridgewater To See Playing Time In Week 17
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees said there's no doubt that backup Teddy Bridgewater will see playing time in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Panthers. Brees and the other starters should be active for this game, but they might only play a series or two in the first quarter, much like a preseason […]
Ryan Tannehill Unlikely To Stay In Miami In 2019
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is unlikely to be with the team heading into the 2019 season. The team is prepared to move on from him after seven seasons instead of paying him the $19 million he's owed each of the next two years. He carries a $26.6 million salary-cap hit next season, with none […]
Rashaad Penny Practicing In Full
Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. After missing the last two games, Penny is on track to return in Week 17 in a great matchup against the Cardinals. With Seattle possible resting Chris Carson as well, Penny could see more than his usual number of snaps, making him […]
Doug Baldwin Misses Practice Wednesday
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Baldwin, but he's often rested early in the week as he's battled through various injuries this year. Baldwin hasn't been seeing as many targets this year in a run-first offense, but he had a season-high seven catches on […]
Jared Cook, Jalen Richard Limited In Practice
Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook (ribs) and running back Jalen Richard (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be fine for the Week 17 season finale against the Chiefs. It's a matchup that should require the Raiders to throw the ball often, which would benefit both Cook and Richard. Cook […]
Tom Brady Intends To Play Beyond 2019
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady intends to play past 2019, the final year of his current contract. "I absolutely believe I will. I know I've talked about it for a long time: I have goals to not only play next year, but beyond that," Brady said in his weekly interview on Westwood One. The […]
Padres Talking Corey Kluber
The San Diego Padres are engaged with the Cleveland Indians in trade talks surrounding starting pitcher Corey Kluber, according to sources. However, one person with knowledge of the talks doesn't think the Padres have passed the Dodgers as the favorites for Kluber yet. Cleveland's return in the deal with San Diego could include one or […]
Allen Robinson On Week 17 Injury Report
Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson (ribs) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. In a tough matchup with an injury to boot, Robinson's fantasy value heading into the regular season finale will be down. He did have six catches for 85 yards in Week 16, but A-Rob hasn't gone over 100 yards or […]
LeGarrette Blount Has New Injury
Detroit Lions running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Blount has been playing through injuries in recent weeks and remains highly unproductive for Detroit. He ran the ball 11 times for just 29 yards in Week 16 and is averaging 2.8 yards per carry this year. He should […]
Tavon Austin Nearing A Return
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Tavon Austin (groin) practiced in full on Wednesday. Austin hasn't played since Oct. 14 and has a measly seven catches (10 targets) for 130 yards and two touchdowns on the season. However, he could be in play as a deep DFS sleeper if he returns against the Giants in Week 17. […]
Sterling Shepard Limited In Practice
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday. With Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) and Russell Shepard (ankle) both still sidelined, Shepard would remain in line to be the No. 1 receiver for quarterback Eli Manning against Dallas in Week 17. Shepard has seen increased targets and production in the […]
Julio Jones, Tevin Coleman Not Practicing
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip, ribs) and running back Tevin Coleman (groin) both missed practice on Wednesday. Jones has been fighting through injuries as usual but continues to play. While Jones had a quiet day last Sunday, he did have his fourth touchdown in the last three games. He had 10 catches for […]
Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Limited Wednesday
Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Miller sat out in Week 16 and Coutee hasn't played since Nov. 26 against the Titans. Miller should return to a lead-back role if he's active against the Jaguars. It's a tough matchup, however, […]
Leonard Fournette, D.J. Chark Both Practice
Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday, while rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) practiced in full. Fournette saw a full complement of touches in the Week 16 win over the Dolphins and should suit up in the regular season finale against the Texans. It's a tough matchup, […]
Austin Ekeler Out Of Concussion Protocol
Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) is out of the concussion protocol, and head coach Anthony Lynn fully expects Ekeler to return in the Week 17 season finale against the Broncos. Ekeler hasn't played since Dec. 9, but he should immediately return to his change-of-pace role behind Melvin Gordon. Ekeler had a quiet […]
Spencer Ware On Track To Return
Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday. Ware has missed the last two games but looks on his way to returning in Week 17 against the Raiders. In an excellent matchup, Ware would have low-end RB2 value if he's active this Sunday. Hurting his upside is the fact that […]
James Conner Practices In Full
Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday for the first time since he injured his ankle on Dec. 2. Conner has a real shot at returning for a must-win Week 17 game against the Bengals after missing the last three games. He'd have immediate RB2 upside […]
Todd Gurley Won't Practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (knee) will not take part in Wednesday's walkthrough practice. Gurley remains day-to-day after sitting out in Week 16. He's a question mark again this week for the regular season finale. If he misses his second straight game, C.J. Anderson will be the […]
Cowboys To Play Healthy Starters
Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said the team will play all of their healthy starters in a meaningless Week 17 game against the Giants. “We’re just going to take all those guys’ situations day by day and really the overarching theme is anybody who is healthy and ready to play is going to play […]
Blake Bortles To Start Season Finale
Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback Blake Bortles will start in Week 17 against the Texans. Bortles was benched in favor of Cody Kessler several weeks ago, but the Jags will go back to Bortles after Kessler predictably failed. Bortles has more upside than Kessler, but he's been awful in his own […]
