Packers are listing RB Josh Jacobs and WR Christian Watson as questionable for Saturday night’s game in Chicago.

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Matthew Golden

This is a great sign for Watson, considering how serious the injury looked immediately after the play. With how the Packers rotate all their receivers, Reed would still be in the fantasy conversation, even if Watson returns to the field. Watson himself might be a little more of a stay-away unless he's back to 100% earlier in the week; a "snap count" might be on the horizon for the deep threat.

If Jacobs does suit up, he'll be a must-start, but if he unexpectedly gets ruled out, Wilson will be a nice plug-in as an RB2 option.

Saints placed RB Devin Neal on injured reserve, bringing an end to his rookie season.

Related Players: Evan Hull, Audric Estime

It's anybody's guess how this RB snap share will work out, but the most likely scenario is Estime taking a majority of the early down work, with Hull taking a good chunk of the third-down snaps. The Saints don't currently have any other names on the practice squad, but that doesn't mean they won't make some type of move ahead of the weekend. We don't recommend starting any Saints RBs in Week 16.

Bears WRs Rome Odunze (Foot) and Luther Burden III (Ankle) both ruled out for Saturday vs. Packers.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay, Colston Loveland, Cole Kmet

The D.J. Moore glow-up should continue here in Week 16, as we should once again consider him a WR2 after what has been a mostly tumultuous season.

In addition, Loveland is definitely in the streaming conversation, with a great opportunity to finish as a top-10 option.

Colts Shane Steichen: Team opening 21-day practice window for Anthony Richardson Sr. this week.

Related Players: Philip Rivers, Riley Leonard

This opens the possibility that we could see Richardson, potentially in Week 18. If/when the Colts are eliminated from the playoffs, we could assume that Rivers will no longer be taking snaps, and if Richardson logs a full game (however unlikely), he would be an interesting DFS option in the final week of the regular season.

Saints HC Kellen Moore already has ruled out both RB Devin Neal and WR Devaughn Vele for Sunday’s game against the Jets.

Brady Cook is the starter this week, Aaron Glenn announces

Related Players: Tyrod Taylor, Justin Fields

It's a good move for the Jets to continue to evaluate their late-round selection, but it doesn't move the needle much for fantasy purposes. Cook can be left on waiver wires in the deepest of leagues, while the Saints should be earmarked as a streaming D/ST.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Christian Watson is expected to practice today on a limited basis.

“He’s improving. We’ll just see how he’s feeling out there.”

LVN and Dontayvion Wicks also likely to go today in a limited fashion.

The other DNPs yesterday likely still out.

This is a great sign, considering how serious the injury looked immediately after the play. With how the Packers rotate all their receivers, Reed would still be in the fantasy conversation, even if Watson returns to the field.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris told reporters that WR Drake London, who has missed the last several games with a PCL sprain, will practice today. A sign that he could play Sunday.

Related Players: David Sills, Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts

This would be some fantastic timing for fantasy managers who made it out of the first round of the fantasy playoffs without London. If he is cleared by the weekend, he should be locked into fantasy lineups. The player who may see the biggest hit could be Pitts, who is coming off a career game in Week 15. He'd still be very much on the fantasy radar, but his ceiling would be relatively capped.

A major move in Miami: the Dolphins are benching QB Tua Tagovailoa and turning to Quinn Ewers as their new starting QB, per sources.

Ewers’ first start comes Sunday vs. the Bengals.

Tagovailoa has looked unwilling —or incapable— to throw down the field this season, and that, paired with the lack of physical tools to make things happen on the ground, has stifled the Dolphins' offense.

Ewers isn't exactly known for having a big arm, but it's probably in everybody's best interest to see if he can run the offense with similar efficiency. He should be left on waiver wires outside of deep SuperFlex leagues.

During the second half of Sunday’s win over the Raiders, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts seemed to suffer a leg injury when he was twisted awkwardly during a tackle. He doesn’t appear on the first injury report for Week 16, in advance of Saturday’s game against the Commanders.

The Eagles held a walk-through, not a full practice. The report for Tuesday is an estimate as to the participation, or lack thereof, if the team had conducted a normal practice.

Another key offensive player showed up on the report, with an injury that would have kept him from practice. Running back Saquon Barkley has a stinger.

Related players: Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley

We reported on Hurts on Monday having a possible knee issue, other reports said it was an ankle, but either way he's not in the injury report. Barkley is a bit of a surprise, however. Bigsby was listed as limited with an illness, and would likely see a nice workload should Barkley not be able to play. Shipley would also get some touches as well.
