3 days agoThe Miami Dolphins have no concerns about quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa (hip) being limited at practice due to a hip injury on Wednesday as the team prepares to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in Week 16. "No concern with us," offensive coordinator Frank Smith said. Tagovailoa appears to be a little beat up coming out of the Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans, which is why he was limited in the first practice of the week, but he's in no danger of sitting out this weekend. As long as Tagovailoa is able to return to a full practice on Thursday or Friday, he should be removed from the final injury report heading into Sunday. The 26-year-old signal-caller broke a streak of three straight games with 300-plus passing yards in last week's loss to Houston in which he threw for under 200 yards and three interceptions. The Niners defense hasn't been kind to opposing QBs this year, making Tua more of a high-end QB2.

3 days agoThe Kansas City Chiefs plan to activate wide receiver
Marquise Brown (shoulder) from Injured Reserve for Saturday's game against the Houston Texans, according to sources, assuming everything continues to trend positive for Brown this week. Brown required surgery for a shoulder injury he suffered in the preseason, which caused him to miss four months. He's been practicing in full this week, though, and is ready to make his debut with the team. Before we knew Brown needed surgery on his shoulder, he was a popular stash candidate in fantasy leagues. He's still rostered in 28% of Yahoo leagues, but even though he's on his way to being active in Week 16, fantasy managers should avoid starting him this weekend in his first game back. The Chiefs have since added
DeAndre Hopkins and
JuJu Smith-Schuster at wideout, and Brown will likely play a limited number of snaps against the Texans this weekend.

3 days agoWashington Commanders kickers
Zane Gonzalez (foot, personal) and
Greg Joseph (personal) both missed practice on Wednesday. Head coach Dan Quinn noted that, in an unlikely twist, both Gonzalez and Joseph are away from the team as they welcome newborns to their respective families. The former has been sidelined since Week 13 due to a foot injury, and it's too early to tell whether he'll return to action this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. If Gonzalez is forced to miss a second consecutive game, Washington would promote Joseph from the practice squad to kick in his absence.

3 days agoNew York Jets running backs
Braelon Allen (back) and
Isaiah Davis (back) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. As the Jets prepare for Week 16, Allen and Davis are two names to monitor. Typically, players who are limited on Wednesday manage to log full sessions by Friday, but that's never a guarantee. Having Allen and Davis available is key for the Jets as they look to take some of the workload off
Breece Hall's shoulders. Hall, who missed Week 14 with a knee injury, returned last Sunday but registered just nine carries and two receptions. Assuming Allen and Davis both play this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, the two rookies would be candidates to earn a handful of touches.

3 days agoWashington Commanders wide receiver
Luke McCaffrey (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Any sort of appearance on the injury report is less than ideal, but the good news for McCaffrey and the Commanders is that he did participate in a limited capacity. Plus, he still has two more days to upgrade to a full participant before Washington publishes its final injury report. McCaffrey, a rookie out of Rice University, has delivered modest production this season, catching 17 of 21 targets for 155 yards. He's still looking for his first career touchdown, but his chances to find the end zone could improve as he earns more targets in the wake of
Noah Brown (kidney) landing on injured reserve.

3 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Sterling Shepard (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. As Week 16 prep begins, the Buccaneers are without their No. 3 receiver. Any sort of injury should raise concern for fantasy managers, especially with the fantasy playoffs in full swing. However, it's too early to hit the panic button. Shepard still has two more opportunities to log a limited or full practice when the Buccaneers take the field on Thursday and Friday. If his participation status improves and he manages to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys, Shepard would rank as a low-end WR4 for fantasy purposes.
--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
3 days agoCarolina Panthers wide receiver
David Moore (concussion) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Moore presumably suffered the concussion last Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. It's not very common for players to practice just three days after suffering a concussion, but this certainly doesn't mean that Moore is in the clear. The 29-year-old still needs to pass the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before he's cleared to play against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16. If active, he would rank as a modest WR5 option in fantasy leagues with at least a dozen teams.
--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Carolina Panthers
3 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers tight end
Cade Otton (knee) did not participate in practice on Wednesday. As preparation for Week 16 begins, Otton was not involved. Although any sort of injury is concerning, especially in the fantasy football playoffs, managers should not panic yet. Otton still has two more days to log a limited or full practice, which would put him in a good position to play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. If the 25-year-old suits up, he'd rank as a low-end TE1 in most fantasy leagues.
--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Tampa Bay Buccaneers
3 days agoTampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (back, hip) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The rookie has appeared in all 14 games this season but has played more than 55 percent of offensive snaps in just one game. So far, he has 852 rushing yards, 296 receiving yards, and six touchdowns. We previously heard that Irving's back tightened up in Week 14, but he recovered in time for last Sunday's game and it doesn't seem like it will be an issue for Week 16. All signs point to Irving and
Rachaad White continuing to split opportunities out of the backfield. Both players are solid RB2 options for fantasy football ahead of Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys.

3 days agoSeattle Seahawks tight end
Noah Fant (knee) was limited during practice on Wednesday. The 27-year-old missed three games earlier this season, but other than that, he's been mostly healthy. Any sort of appearance on the injury report is concerning, but the good news for Fant is that he did manage to practice in some capacity. We'd be much more concerned if Fant had not practiced at all. Wednesday's limited practice suggests that he'll be able to play in Week 16, barring some sort of setback. He ranks as a low-end fantasy TE2 ahead of next week's clash with the Minnesota Vikings.

3 days agoSeattle Seahawks quarterback
Geno Smith (knee) practiced in full on Wednesday. The veteran signal-caller was able to begin Week 16 prep without any limitations, and all signs point to him playing on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The 34-year-old has been underwhelming in five games since the Seahawks' bye week, averaging just 21.2 completions, 212.6 passing yards, 0.6 touchdowns, and 0.6 interceptions during that span. Smith continues to rank as a mid-range QB2 option in most fantasy leagues.
