Rotoworld

Leki Fotu

NYJ Defensive Tackle #92

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Jets DL Leki Fotu (knee) did not participate in Tuesday’s practice.

In addition to Fotu, DBs Tony Adams (hamstring) and Ashtyn Davis (concussion) did not practice on Tuesday. The non-participation is a troubling sign that all three defenders will be inactive on a short week against the Texans for Thursday Night Football Week 9.

Alec Pierce

IND Wide Receiver #14

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Alec Pierce is off the injury report for Week 16 against the 49ers.

Pierce was able to get in a couple of full practices, and barring a setback, the 25-year-old should be ready to roll for the Monday Night Football tilt against the 49ers. Pierce’s skill set does not pair well with Philip Rivers, so he should be consider as a WR4 at best for the foreseeable future.

December 19, 2025 02:22 PM

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.

Justin Watson

HOU Wide Receiver #84

Justin Watson (Achilles) was not activated off injured reserve prior to the Texans’ Week 16 game against the Raiders.

Watson has been out of action since the middle of September with his Achilles injury. The 29-year-old could be an option in the final weeks, but in a role that provides zero fantasy upside.

Sam Ehlinger

DEN Quarterback #4

Broncos signed QB Sam Ehlinger off the practice squad.

Ehlinger will not be active for Week 16 against the Jaguars, but the quarterback will get a nicer paycheck will operating as the emergency signal-caller going forward. The 27-year-old was offered a chance to join the Colts’ active roster after the Daniel Jones’ injury, but he declined and chose to stick with Denver. One can’t help but think this is a reward for his loyalty.

Chase Blackburn

Coaching Staff

Rams fired special teams coordinator Chase Blackburn.

Three of the four losses by the Rams this season were influenced heavily by special teams mishaps, leading to the change as the Rams fight for playoff seeding in the NFC. Blackburn was hired prior to the 2023 season and was unable to finish his third season with the team.

Ricky Pearsall

SF Wide Receiver #1

49ers ruled out WR Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) for Week 16 against the Colts.

Pearsall picked up two injuries in Week 15 and will now miss the team’s Monday Night Football game against the Colts. His absence could thrust Kendrick Bourne and Demarcus Robinson into more prominent roles, although it would likely be wide receiver Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle that stand to benefit the most against the Colts.

Tremaine Edmunds

CHI Linebacker #49

Bears activated LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin) from injured reserve.

The Bears get back one of their defensive leaders after Edmunds missed the previous four contests while on injured reserve. His return comes at the perfect time, ahead of a divisional clash with the Packers on Saturday evening.

Jason Pierre-Paul

TB Outside Linebacker #91

Buccaneers elevated OLB Jason Pierre-Paul ahead of Week 16 against the Panthers.

The appearance will be the first regular season game for the soon-to-be 37-year-old veteran in a over two years. It’ll come in a must-win, divisional showdown with the Panthers. The two teams play twice in the final three weeks of the regular season to decide who will represent the NFC South in the playoffs.

Lane Johnson

PHI Tackle #65

Eagles declared OLB Josh Uche, QB Sam Howell, CB Mac McWilliams, RB A.J. Dillon, TE/FB Cam Latu, T Lane Johnson, and DT Jalen Carter inactive for Week 16 against the Commanders.

The team gets back G Landon Dickerson, which could benefit Saquon Barkley and the run game against a far inferior Commanders roster. Philadelphia can clinch a playoff berth with a win over their divisional opponents, eliminating the Cowboys in the process.

Laremy Tunsil

WAS Tackle #78

Commanders delared QB Jayden Daniels, RB Chase Edmonds, T George Fant, T Laremy Tunsil, TE Colson Yankoff, and DT Eddie Goldman inactive for Week 16 against the Eagles.

The Commanders will be without both starting offensive tackles in a game started by backup quarterback Marcus Mariota, potentially opening the door for defensive dominance from a relentless Eagles defense. Expect a reliance on the ground game to start while getting back Chris Rodriguez from a one-game absence, but that stance could quickly shift should the Commanders fall behind early.

Trevon Diggs

DAL Cornerback #7
Cowboys activated CB Trevon Diggs (knee) ahead of Week 16 against the Chargers.

The team also placed fellow cornerback DaRon Bland (foot) on injured reserve in an associated move. As has been the case for most of the season, the Cowboys continue forward without pieces from their secondary. Diggs pushed his return up to the limit, meaning we might not see him play a full allotment of snaps in his first game in over two months.
