Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
9News’ Mike Klis reports K Wil Lutz will not join the Jaguars but will instead return to the Broncos on a two-year $8.5 million contract.

Lutz was reportedly set to join the Jaguars on a three-year deal, but has now decided to stay in the Mile High City. In his first season with the Broncos, Lutz converted on 30 of his 34 field goal attempts, and is an 85.2 percent kicker for his career.

DK Metcalf

PIT Wide Receiver #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Steelers WR DK Metcalf (abdomen) is practicing fully for Week 15 against the Dolphins.

This is great news. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin was optimistic about Metcalf’s odds of suiting up, but said Metcalf might miss time in practice this week. The Steelers’ No. 1 wide receiver is now firmly on track to face the Dolphins on Monday night. He can be treated as a WR2.

Saints could surprise at home against Panthers

December 11, 2025 11:41 AM

Jay Croucher and Drew Dinsick believe the Saints can secure a home victory against a Panthers team coming off its bye week, where Tyler Shough could continue "trending in the right direction."

Darnell Washington

PIT Tight End #80

Steelers TE Darnell Washington (concussion) was limited on Thursday.

The fact that Washington is able to practice is a plus. The Steelers’ jumbo-size tight end suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Ravens. Players frequently miss at least one game due to concussions, but the Steelers play on Monday night this week, so the added rest day may have increased his odds of playing.

Geno Smith

LV Quarterback #7

Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder/back) did not practice on Thursday.

Raiders backup QB Kenny Pickett is extremely likely to be the team’s starter in Week 15 against the Eagles. Even if Smith is able to return in time for Week 16, he would face the Texans’ elite pass-rush unit. Smith does not need to be rostered in re-draft.

Christian Benford

BUF Cornerback #47

Bills CB Christian Benford (toe) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

He was both added to the report on Thursday and seen in the locker room by reporters with a “short walking boot” — this is raising alarm bells that he may not be ready for Week 15’s pivotal game with the Patriots. His status should be updated on Friday, but we’re expecting him to be questionable at best based on this report.

Rome Odunze

CHI Wide Receiver #15
Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited in Thursday’s practice.

Back-to-back practices is good news for Odunze even if both of them have been limited sessions. He’s likely to at least find the questionable line ahead of Sunday’s game against the Browns. Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) was also limited for a second straight day. If both can return, it will likely lower Luther Burden’s WR4/FLEX stock in Week 15.

Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes Mike Evans (collarbone) won’t play “every down” in Week 14.

He will be on “somewhat of a pitch count” coming back from the collarbone injury. That’s good news for fantasy managers who were relying on Chris Godwin and Emeka Egbuka in Week 15, but it makes Evans a bit of a risky start in his first week off injured reserve. Evans probably belongs on the WR4/FLEX line if you’re going to play him, though the promise that he’ll be out there on “the big downs” is promising.

Lane Johnson

PHI Tackle #65
Eagles RT Lane Johnson (foot) was not seen practicing on Thursday.

Eagles LG Landon Dickerson (calf) was also absent for the portion of practice open to the media. He was limited yesterday. Both players are questionable to play in Week 15 against the Raiders. Hopefully, at least one of them can resume practicing tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Josh Jacobs

GB Running Back #8

Packers RB Josh Jacobs called himself “day-to-day” after his knee “stiffened” in Week 14 against the Bears.

Jacobs told reporters that his “knee stiffened up during the second half last Sunday.” Despite the stiffness, Jacobs played on 16-of-19 backfield snaps and handled 10-of-12 backfield touches in the second half. He underwent “another scan” on Monday, and the knee is reportedly “structurally sound.” We tentatively expect Jacobs to suit up and handle close to his typical workload against the Broncos this weekend. Ideally, he returns to practice tomorrow. Stay tuned.

Jaycee Horn

CAR Cornerback #8
Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (concussion) practiced in full Thursday.

It seems likely that he’ll clear concussion protocol and play against the Saints in Week 15 after upgrading from a limited session on Wednesday. LB Claudin Cherelus (concussion) also upgraded to a full practice today and figures to be available as well.

DK Metcalf

PIT Wide Receiver #4

Steelers WR DK Metcalf (abdomen) was seen practicing on Thursday.

Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin told reporters on Tuesday that Metcalf should be able to play in the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Dolphins this week, but there was a chance Metcalf could miss practice time. Instead, Metcalf took the field for the week’s first practice. Expect him to play on Monday night.
