Tipton still has a chance to play, but this is unideal. With WR Devaughn Vele (shoulder) already ruled out, Tipton is slated for No. 2 wide receiver duties. Saints WR Chris Olave and TE Juwan Johnson should handle significant workloads against the Jets this week.18 December 2025
Great news. Achane practiced fully yesterday as well. He seemingly made it through Week 15 without suffering any setbacks. The Dolphins’ featured running back is ready to rock as an elite RB1 for his matchup against the Bengals’ fantasy-friendly defense.18 December 2025
Burrow is up to two full sessions this week. He is good to go for his team’s Week 16 game against the Dolphins, though his receiving corps could be short-staffed, with WR Tee Higgins still in the NFL’s concussion protocol. Burrow is a low-end QB1.

Robinson was a full participant yesterday as well. Players generally play through illnesses and we see no reason to think Robinson will be limited on game day. The Falcons face the Cardinals in Week 16. He is a locked-in RB1 for the occasion.18 December 2025
Helm has put together back-to-back limited practices and seems likely to go on Sunday against the Chiefs. He’ll be smack dab in the middle of the TE2 ranks for that matchup.18 December 2025
Harrison has a chance to suit up against the Falcons this week, though it would be nice to see him practice fully on Friday. If he sits out another game, Cardinals WR Michael Wilson remains a fantasy football WR1. If Harrison returns, both players drop to the WR3 ranks.18 December 2025
Reporters expected a DNP, but McDuffie got in a limited session officially. We still consider him at least a bit unlikely to miss Week 16’s game against the Titans, but McDuffie is at least making a play to be active.18 December 2025
He got in full sessions all week and should be a usable-if-unexciting FLEX play as Washington’s lead back against Philadelphia, in a game they are expected to trail in. The silver lining is that Jalen Carter (shoulders) was ruled out, so it should be easier sledding inside at least for Rodriguez. “Bill” Croskey-Merritt will likely revert to a backup role in Week 16.18 December 2025
Players typically play through illnesses, but it would be nice to see Dawkins practice tomorrow after sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday. The Bills’ offensive line is tasked with fending off the Browns’ elite pass-rush unit this week. Stay tuned.18 December 2025
Benford injured his toe last Thursday and was unable to play on Sunday. He has since logged two limited sessions, putting him on track to play. The Browns’ wide receiver corps hardly instills fear, and the Bills have playoff aspirations. It is possible that they hold him out this week, just to play things safely.18 December 2025
As was Brian O’Neill (heel), both upgrades from a Wednesday DNP. Christian Darrisaw (knee) remains sidelined. Still, this is a good update for anyone considering playing a Viking against New York’s woeful defense on Sunday. Most of the offensive line is trending towards being up for this contest.18 December 2025
The Eagles will at least get Landon Dickerson (calf/rest) off the injury report and up for this one, but it will be at least one more week off for Johnson, who has needed One More Week for about three weeks now. The Eagles don’t have much incentive to rush him with the NFC East all but sewn up.18 December 2025
Week-to-week since undergoing surgery December 4, Carter will miss his third-straight game for the Eagles in Week 16. He may only get a tune up in Week 17 or Week 18 at this rate as the Eagles appear well locked into their playoff scenarios, especially if they win this week.18 December 2025
Zero practices in three days have this feeling like a sketchy questionable, with only the fact that Jacobs frequently fights to play through injury out there to give fantasy managers much hope. Emanuel Wilson, not on the injury report this week, figures to be on the RB2 line if Jacobs is ruled out ahead of game time. Jacobs would be an RB1, though he’ll likely be on a pitch count as he was last week if he does play.18 December 2025
Perhaps this is just a rest day. Pitts was limited by a knee injury in all three Week 15 practices before posting a week-winning Thursday Night Football performance. It is possible the same knee is just feeling sore after practicing fully yesterday. Tomorrow’s injury report and game status report should clarify things. Start him if he is active.18 December 2025
It certainly feels like he’s on the optimistic side of questionable after he said he “should be good” on Wednesday. There is likely some reinjury risk here, but Watson should be considered a WR3 for this matchup given how well he performed the last time these teams met in Week 14. He got in a limited session on Thursday. Also questionable for the Packers is WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle), who, like Watson, started off the week as a DNP before getting in two limited sessions.18 December 2025
Despite his first useful fantasy game (3/55) in some time last week against Denver, we’d caution against starting Golden in Week 16 as Christian Watson seems likely to play. Savion Williams (foot) is also off the injury report.18 December 2025
It’s an upgrade from a Wednesday DNP. We doubt you’re seriously considering starting Van Jefferson in Week 16, but hey, there are sickos out there. He looks to be on track to play on Sunday.18 December 2025
Frazier was not on the injury report yesterday, which suggests this is a new injury. That is bad news. The Steelers face the Lions this week and Frazier is a very capable pass protector and run blocker. He is firmly in the questionable camp at this time.
