The Vikings ruled out TE T.J. Hockenson (knee) and WR Jordan Addison (ankle) for the rest of Sunday’s game against the Lions.

In a short period of time, the Vikings have lost two of their top offensive weapons as they try to hang around with the Lions and keep their playoff and division hopes alive. Justin Jefferson is still around which is always a positive but the offense certainly takes a hit. We’ll see if the Vikings can overcome these injuries in a big moment.

The Eagles removed WR DeVonta Smith from the injury report Saturday.

Smith was dealing with a knee injury but he is good to go for Monday's divisional showdown with the Giants. The Eagles hope to get their offense back on track in a key game on Christmas Day. That should include getting Smith back involved in the offense.

Titans QB Will Levis is unlikely to play with an ankle injury, setting up Ryan Tannehill as the likely starter against the Seahawks.

It would mark Tannehill’s first start since Week 6 if he goes. Levis missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but did practice Friday albeit on a limited basis. Tannehill gets at least one more start as he likely enters his final few weeks as a Titan. He is set to become a free agent after the season. Tannehill is our No. 26 quarterback this week with the Seahawks coming to town.

The Colts ruled RB Zack Moss out for Week 16 against the Falcons.

Moss was initially listed as questionable for Sunday but the Colts downgraded him Saturday. Jonathan Taylor should have most of the backfield to himself. The Colts could still use Trey Sermon a bit but Taylor is a top-five running back for us now as the Colts look to keep not only their playoff hopes alive but their division hopes. The Colts, Jaguars and Texans all sit at 8-6.

Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence cleared concussion protocol and will travel with the team to Tampa Bay for Sunday’s game

Lawrence was questionable and perhaps considered 50/50 to play on Friday but he has clearly made considerable progress as the Jaguars will have their guy available in a key game Sunday against the Buccaneers. The Jaguars enter Week 16 in a three-way tie for the AFC South lead at 8-6 and could use all the help they can get. Had Lawrence not been able to play, it would have been C.J. Beathard getting the start. Lawrence checks in as our No. 7 quarterback this week.

The three players the Patriots are listing as out for Sunday night’s game in Denver:

🏈RB Rhamondre Stevenson, Ankle
🏈WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, Ankle
🏈S Jabrill Peppers, Hamstring

Related Players: Ezekiel Elliott, Kevin Harris

Elliott should once again handle the majority of the workload, though it's on a floundering offense. Consider him an RB2 against the Broncos defense.

Geno Smith doesn’t have a game status designation, suggesting that he’s good to go. Jamal, Frank and Dee have been ruled out tho. Everyone else is questionable.

Related Players: Drew Lock

Smith returns to a pretty nice Week 16 matchup against the Titans, and should be considered a borderline QB1.

Commanders ruled out RB Brian Robinson for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Antonio Gibson, Chris Rodriguez

Chris Rodriguez took a surprising amount of early-down work last week, and should have a decent RB3 role, particularly in Standard or point-per-carry leagues. Gibson should maintain the pass-catching role and be an asset in half-PPR leagues as an RB3 in his own right.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that he expects RB De'Von Achane (toe) to play against the Cowboys. He also reiterated that WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) had no setbacks, and he feels good about Hill playing.

Related Players: Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson

Mostert and Achane have proven that they can both be great fantasy assets when they're sharing the field. The Cowboys have an off-and-on run defense, but the game is expected to be very high-scoring, which opens up a lot of touchdown equity. Both options should be considered RB2s, and it's not outlandish to play them both in the same lineup.

Cardinals WR Marquise Brown will not play Sunday in Chicago, coach Jonathan Gannon said.

He also said CB Garrett Williams and CB Bobby Price won’t play, as well.

Related Players: Michael Wilson, Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch

Hollywood Brown popped for 12 targets and 88 yards back in Week 12 but has combined for a total of 60 snaps, three targets, and zero receptions in the two following games. It will be difficult to trust him for the rest of the season in fantasy.
