Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) and WR Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) are practicing for the second straight day. Pittman is not in a red jersey, meaning again that he’s been cleared for full contact in practice.

Related Players: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, D.J. Montgomery

Good sign that Pittman will be hitting the field this weekend, which makes him a WR2/3 play in Week 16. This also raises the floor for managers looking towards Gardner Minshew as a QB streamer.

“No setbacks” for Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill this week — he will practice today and Mike McDaniel says he feels good about him.

Related Players: Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson, Braxton Berrios

This is a good sign for fantasy managers who had to do without last week. Hill looks like he will return to what will very likely be a shootout with the Cowboys. Waddle is back in the WR2 range after his fantastic 8-142-1 performance during his teammate's absence.

Jets’ QB Trevor Siemian will start Sunday vs. the Commanders.

Related Players: Zach Wilson, Brett Rypien

Zach Wilson has been declared out with a concussion for Sunday, so Siemian and Rypien will be the options for the Jets in Week 16. Garrett Wilson continues to play in quarterback purgatory, but his talent still makes him a WR2 option.

Jaguars coach Doug Pederson says QB Trevor Lawrence will practice today. He's still in the NFL's concussion protocol, and must clear to travel to Tampa tomorrow.

Related Players: C.J. Beathard

Lawrence is trending in the right direction, and would be a much better signal-caller for the Jaguars skill positions in fantasy. If he were to play, he'd have a great matchup against the Buccaneers secondary and would be a fringe QB1 for Week 16.

Titans’ QB Will Levis did not practice today for a second straight day due to his ankle injury.

Related Players: Ryan Tannehill

It's looking very much like Tannehill will be taking the start in Week 16, which isn't exciting for fantasy purposes. This could well be a classic, heavy Derrick Henry game.

DeVonta Smith hadn’t been practicing in full because of a knee injury. This latest inclusion on the report is for a new knee injury he suffered in the game.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Julio Jones, Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus

A.J. Brown could me in for a monster workload as the Eagles begin the easiest stretch of their season. None of the receiving options behind him should be trusted if Smith were to miss this week.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill, RB De’Von Achane, CB Xavien Howard, LT Terron Armstead limited in practice returns. RG Robert Hunt & RT Austin Jackson remain out.

This is a good sign for fantasy managers who had to do without last week. Hill looks like he will return to what will very likely be a shootout with the Cowboys. Waddle is back in the WR2 range after his fantastic 8-142-1 performance during his teammate's absence.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor and WR Michael Pittman, Jr. were both officially full participants in practice today.

Related Players: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, D.J. Montgomery

Good sign that Pittman will be hitting the field this weekend, which makes him a WR2/3 play in Week 16. This also raises the floor for managers looking towards Gardner Minshew as a QB streamer.

Chargers ruled out WR Keenan Allen for Saturday’s game vs. Buffalo.

Related Players: Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston, Jalen Guyton

The Bills are currently 12.5-point favorites, as the Chargers offense continues to take blows. Consider Joshua Palmer a WR3 in what looks to be a difficult matchup.

No Trevor Lawrence (concussion protocol) or Zay Jones (hamstring) at Thursday’s Jaguars practice. Second consecutive day both players have missed.

All other players were present. Another day of starting reps for QB CJ Beathard.

Related Players: Calvin Ridley, Parker Washington, Jamal Agnew

Looks like it could be a Beathard week, who actually gets a great matchup against the Buccaneers this week, though it wouldn't look as decent if Zay Jones ends up missing. Calvin Ridley would get enough of a target boost to consider him a WR2, while Washington would be a FLEX option.
