  • FA Wide Receiver

    Giants coach Tom Coughlin believes No. 63 pick WR Rueben Randle is “pro-ready.”
    Per GM Jerry Reese, the Giants even considered Randle at No. 32. “I really didn’t think there was a chance we were going to get him,” said scouting director Marc Ross. “It’s very surprising he was still there.” Randle looks like the early favorite to replace Mario Manningham in three-receiver sets. He and Hakeem Nicks would be the outside wideouts with Victor Cruz in the slot.
  • IND Defensive Tackle #99

    Colts DT DeForest Buckner (neck) will play in Week 16 against the 49ers.
    Buckner hasn’t played since Week 9 due to a neck injury. The 31-year-old defensive tackle began practicing again last week. Colts coach Shane Steichen told reporters Saturday that Buckner will play. His return could be important for the Colts’ defensive line as they look to get after Brock Purdy.
    Colts' limitations loom ahead of matchup vs. 49ers
    Drew Dinsick and Jay Croucher preview a Monday Night Football battle between the 49ers and Colts, questioning how San Francisco will perform against a depleted secondary and doubting an "untenable" Phillip Rivers.
  • CHI Running Back #4
    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Bears RB D’Andre Swift (groin) is expected to play in Week 16’s game against the Packers.
    Swift popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a groin injury and practiced in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday. While the 26-year-old running back is still listed as questionable, Fowler reports that he’s expected to play. Swift, coming off his best game of the season, is an RB2 against the Packers in Week 16. He could also see additional pass game usage with the Bears down multiple receivers.
  • DAL Cornerback #7
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Cowboys CB Trevon Diggs (knee) is likely to be activated for Week 16’s game against the Chargers.
    This report comes on the heels of Diggs himself telling reporters earlier this week that he was healthy. The 27-year-old cornerback seemed miffed about not being activated from injured reserve earlier. If Diggs isn’t activated Saturday, he’ll be ineligible to return at all this year. While Rapoport reports an activation is likely, the final decision will come Saturday afternoon.
  • KC Tight End #87
    Chiefs TE Travis Kelce “plans to play in each of the final three games this season.”
    We assumed this would be the case, but it is good to know nonetheless. The Chiefs are eliminated from playoff contention and Kelce’s “best friend on the roster,” QB Patrick Mahomes (knee),” is out for the year. The 36-year-old tight end needs just 203 receiving yards to “become the oldest tight end in the NFL’s history to record 1,000 yards in a season.”
  • CHI Linebacker #49
    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Bears plan to activate LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin) from injured reserve before Week 16 against the Packers.
    That’s great. Edmunds has not played since Week 11, but he still leads the team with 67 tackles. He has also recorded eight quarterback pressures, two sacks, two pass breakups and four interceptions. Getting him back is a big deal. The Packers (9-4-1) face the Bears (10-4) on Saturday.
  • SF Wide Receiver #1
    49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) did not practice on Friday.
    49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan initially said he expects Pearsall “to be alright.” He followed that statement up on Monday by saying “there is a concern” about Pearsall’s injuries. On Thursday, he said there is a “possibility” Pearsall plays on Monday night. This is nothing new. Return timelines have been all over the place with this team. Even if he does play, he will do so at less than 100.0 percent. Make a backup plan.
  • HOU Cornerback #24
    Texans CB Derek Stingley (oblique) is questionable for Houston’s Week 16 game against the Raiders.
    He got in a limited session to get on to the questionable line after missing Wednesday and Thursday practice. Azeez Al-Shaair was limited on Thursday, but did not participate in Wednesday or Friday practice for the Texans. Both players should be considered true question marks for Week 16’s action against the Raiders.
  • HOU Running Back #21
    Texans RB Nick Chubb (ribs) is questionable for Houston’s Week 16 game against the Raiders.
    It’s a curious questionable tag since Chubb got in two full sessions on Thursday and Friday — several backs with that workload would be off the injury report entirely. Chubb could be a worthwhile FLEX play against the Raiders depending on who is active at 3 ET, but odds are he’ll probably split the workload with Jawhar Jordan if he is up and Woody Marks (ankle) is down.
  • HOU Running Back #27
    Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) is questionable for Houston’s Week 16 game against the Raiders.
    It’s an aggressive listing based on one limited practice, one that perhaps augurs that the Texans are just managing Marks through some existing injuries that they know are going to be tough to overcome in-season. If Marks starts, he’ll be a high-end RB2 against the Raiders. If not, Jawhar Jordan will be a worthwhile plug-and-play starter in Week 16.
  • LV Defensive End #98
    Raiders EDGE Maxx Crosby (knee) is not on Las Vegas’ final Week 16 injury report.
    Crosby, as usual, will be Las Vegas’ main defensive weapon against the Texans. IDP leaguers should note that he stands a good chance of wrecking shop against a weak Texans offensive line. Crosby continues to be given days off ahead of games as this going-nowhere season winds down for the Raiders.
