  • GB Running Back #8

    Per head coach Matt LaFleur, the team will give Jacobs up until gametime before making a call on his status. That means he will be listed as questionable on the team’s final injury report, which will drop later today. Jacobs has not practiced at all this week, which is usually a sign that a player won’t suit up. However, Jacobs has been playing through his knee issues for weeks, and there has been no indication that his injury worsened in Week 15. Fantasy managers should be prepared for him to sit, even if he is truly questionable heading into the weekend. Emanuel Wilson would be in line for a workhorse role and an RB1 ranking if Jacobs can’t go.
  • LA Wide Receiver #17
    Adams did not practice at all this week and is listed as doubtful for Thursday’s game against the Seahawks. He re-aggravated his hamstring injury on Sunday and returning on a short week was always going to be a tough task, despite the fact that Sean McVay refused to completely rule Adams out. Fantasy managers can expect to be without Adams for Week 16, boosting Puka Nacua even further and giving Colby Parkinson some viability in the red zone. The only other Ram listed on the team’s injury report is DE Braden Fiske, who is questionable with an ankle injury.
  • KC Wide Receiver #4
    Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said Rice “reported concussion symptoms on Monday and entered the league’s protocol.” Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton is also in the league’s concussion protocol, potentially leaving the receiving corps short-staffed for QB Gardner Minshew against the Titans this week. Chiefs TE Travis Kelce could get a chance to pad his stats, given the state of things, on Sunday.
  • DAL Running Back #33
    Williams’ injury was initially described as a left shoulder injury by the Sunday Night Football broadcast, but the official injury report corrects the record. Williams could be seen bending his neck to the left and moving his left arm while talking to the Cowboys’ training staff. After returning to the field, he would at times flex and extend the left arm as well, while occasionally bracing it against his side between plays. At this point, he is on track to face the Chargers in Week 16.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    Swift was not on the injury report yesterday. The veteran runner has been dealing with the groin issue for a while. He appeared to be over it in recent weeks, but a mid-week addition now puts him at risk of missing Saturday’s game. Kyle Monangai would be in line for a massive workload and an RB1 ranking if Swift cannot suit up.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #4
    This is unfortunate. The Panthers’ No. 1 wide receiver finished as the half-PPR WR23 and WR72 over the team’s last two games, while slot WR Jalen Coker notched WR14 and WR19 finishes. Panthers head coach Dave Canales said McMillan got “rolled up on” during a run play against the Saints last week. The plan is to hold McMillan out today and “try to get him back for tomorrow.” The Panthers (7-7) face the Buccaneers (7-7) on Sunday. The winner takes control of the NFC South.
  • PHI Running Back #26
    Barkley missed Tuesday’s session because of the issue, raising some concern that he could miss Week 16 versus the Commanders. Even a limited practice today eases those worries for Eagles fans and fantasy managers alike. Barring a setback, Barkley is on track for an RB1 performance in the fantasy football semi-finals.
  • GB Running Back #8
    Head coach Matt LaFleur praised Jacobs’ toughness yesterday as he continues to battle through injuries to close out the regular season. Jacobs has been dealing with the knee issue for a while, though the ankle issue appears to be new. He played through the knee injury last week after logging a lone limited practice on Friday. Jacobs is likely headed for a similar practice routine this week. Fantasy managers may want to keep Emanuel Wilson on their bench in case Jacobs doesn’t play this week, which remains a possibility.
  • KC Quarterback #15
    The Chiefs said Mahomes, who went down in Week 15’s loss to the Chargers, underwent surgery on Monday to repair the LCL part of his ACL/LCL ligament and immediately started his rehab. Mahomes has a shot to be under center for Kansas City to start the 2026 season, though it will be a close call considering he suffered the ACL injury in mid-December. ESPN’s Adam Schefter has said “it will be a surprise” if Mahomes is not ready for Week 1 in 2026.
  • ARI Wide Receiver #18
    Harrison, who sat out in Week 15 with the heel issue, could make yet another return to the Arizona lineup in time for a good matchup against a burnable Atlanta secondary dealing with myriad injuries going into Week 16. Harrison, who has 40 receptions over ten games this season, would profile as a WR3 play if he suits up and plays a full complement of snaps against the Falcons. The dominant Michael Wilson would go from a locked-in WR1 to an iffy WR3/4 with MHJ back in the lineup.
