    Packers OLB Frank Zombo (shoulder) expects to return to practice next week.
    Zombo had an X-ray of his fractured shoulder blade on Thursday. “I feel 100 percent, I feel great,” said Zombo, “and so basically once they take a look at that, they’ll determine when I can get back.” Erik Walden is Pro Football Focus’ 27th-ranked outside linebacker through three weeks, so Zombo could regain his starting job in a few weeks.
  • BUF Tight End #86

    Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
    Kincaid has been playing through the knee issue for a few weeks and didn’t miss any practice time ahead of Week 15. A DNP today could be a sign that he suffered a setback on Sunday. The hope, however, is that it’s simply a maintenance day for Kincaid. Dawson Knox would be the next man up if Kincaid sits for Week 16.
    Who has most fantasy points per pass attempt?
    Connor Rogers, Jay Croucher, and Lawrence Jackson Jr. compete in fantasy football trivia, where they debate quarterback points per pass attempt, running back points per touch, and more.
  • CAR Wide Receiver #4
    Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (foot/ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.
    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
    Saquon Barkley (stinger) returned to practice Wednesday.
    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.
  • NYJ Quarterback #4
    Jets QB Brady Cook will start in Week 16 against the Saints.
    Cook finished as the overall QB26 last week against the Jaguars. Although this week’s opponent fields a more fantasy-friendly defense, Cook remains a low-end QB2 at best. Both QB Tyrod Taylor (groin) and QB Justin Fields (knee) are returning from injury. Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said that the healthier player will be given the No. 2 quarterback role on game day.
  • DAL Wide Receiver #88
    CeeDee Lamb (illness) did not practice Wednesday.
    This is probably nothing, but it’s worth having on the radar if you are continuing on Lamb for fantasy production. Lamb should be able to play through the issue as long as he practices in some capacity this week. Coming off a 111-yard outing versus the Vikings, Lamb will be locked in for a WR1 ranking as long as he gets cleared to play.
  • CLE Guard #77
    Browns RG Wyatt Teller (calf) returned to practice Wednesday.
    Right tackle Jack Conklin remains out of practice with a concussion and left guard Joel Bitonion remains out with a back issue. Teller’s return will help a struggling Browns offense, but it isn’t going to change their fortunes overnight. Expect this to be a low-wattage offense for the remainder of the season.
  • CLE Running Back #22
    Dylan Sampson (calf) did not practice Wednesday.
    Sampson missed Week 15 with the calf issue. Trayveon Williams played the role of RB2 versus Chicago. He touched the ball three times and generated seven yards. Sampson’s likely absence for Week 16 will simply mean more receiving opportunities for Quinshon Judkins.
  • NYJ Tight End #85
    Jets ruled out TE Mason Taylor (neck) for Week 16 against the Saints.
    Taylor will miss his second consecutive game with the neck injury. The news comes shortly after the front office signed 25-year-old TE Jeremy Ruckert to a two-year, $10 million extension, which is unfortunate. The Jets face the Patriots in Week 17. Hopefully, Taylor can return in time to face them.
  • CLE Tight End #85
    David Njoku (knee) did not practice Wednesday.
    Njoku missed Week 15 with the knee issue. He didn’t practice once last week and now looks unlikely to suit up for Week 15. Harold Fannin led the Browns with seven catches on Sunday. He turned that into 48 yards. Fannin is in line for another TE1 ranking this week.
  • GB Wide Receiver #13
    Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) returned to practice Wednesday.
    Wicks was listed as a DNP for Tuesday’s walkthrough. He will likely be limited in today’s practice, but that still puts him on track to suit up on Saturday. With Christian Watson banged up, Wicks could play a larger role than usual this week. He would be a high-risk WR5 if Watson is out for Week 16.
