Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson had only four catches for 23 yards in the Lions 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 16. Hockenson saw six targets in this embarrassing performance by the Lions offense, who used all three quarterbacks in the game after starter Matthew Stafford(leg) exited with an injury early in the game. The second-year tight end has enjoyed a promising season,

Detroit Lions quarterback Chase Daniel completed 13 of 18 passes for only 86 yards in the Lions 47-7 blowout loss to the Buccaneers in Week 16. Daniel replaced starter Matthew Stafford(leg) after he hobbled off the field early in the game, but the veteran backup couldn’t get anything going offensively. Daniel was later replaced by third-stringer David Blough with the game well out of reach.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 22 of 27 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns in a blowout win over the Lions. Brady was so dominant that he was rested for the entire second half with the Buccaneers comfortably in front. The veteran signal-caller averaged an absurd 12.9 yards per attempt en route to becoming just the second player to record at least

Detroit Lions running back D’Andre Swift carried the ball 10 times for 45 yards with four receptions for 25 yards in the Lions 47-7 defeat to the Buccaneers in Week 16. The Lions struggled getting anything going offensively as the Buccaneers bludgeoned their defense from the jump. It was 34-0 by the half and the Lions never recovered in the game. The small silver lining

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. caught only three passes for 19 yards in the Lions embarrassing 47-7 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 16. The veteran Jones came into the contest on a mild hot streak, posting 474 receiving yards and three touchdowns over his previous six games. But this game got out of hand quickly and the Lions offense was submarined by

The New York Jets activated rookie running back La’Mical Perine (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. The rookie returned to practice a week ago and will join Ty Johnson and Josh Adams as backups to veteran Frank Gore for the final two games of the regular season. With the Jets sticking with Gore as their backfield leader the rest of the way, Perine won’t have

The Cleveland Browns placed linebacker B.J. Goodson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday, according to a source. Rookie left tackle Jedrick Wills was activated from the COVID-19 list. The Browns have delayed their flight ahead of Week 16 against the Jets and contact tracing is ongoing, so continue to check back to see if any more Browns defenders are ruled out for Sunday as high-risk

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (groin) was downgraded to out and will not kick against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Boswell had been dealing with a groin injury during the week and had been listed as questionable but he will not take the field in Week 16.

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (ankle), who ranks third in rushing yards this year, missed the entire week of practice and will not play in Week 16 against the Bears, according to a source. The 22-year-old has been a revelation for the Jaguars and fantasy managers this year, but it looks like he may have played the last game of his impressive rookie

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and will be questionable for Week 16 against the division-rival Chargers. Freeman is trending in the right direction to play this weekend, and he will be looking at an expanded role after the Broncos placed Phillip Lindsay (hip, knee) on Injured Reserve on Saturday. However, Freeman still will not have

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (hip, knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday and will miss the final two regular season games. Lindsay didn’t practice all week and had already been ruled out for the Week 16 game against the division-rival Chargers. With the 26-year-old out the rest of the way, Melvin Gordon III will finally have this backfield all to himself. It’s

Indianapolis Colts right tackle Braden Smith has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Steelers after he was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Left tackle Anthony Castonzo (ankle) was also downgraded to out. Head coach Frank Reich wouldn’t say who would start at the bookends on the offensive line against a Pittsburgh defense that leads the league with 47 sacks in 2020.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen (foot) and defensive lineman Bryan Mone (ankle) will be activated from Injured Reserve and are set to play in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, according to head coach Pete Carroll. Olsen was put on IR on Nov. 23 after he suffered a planta fascia tear in his foot in Week 11. The veteran tight end will be another

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle, knee), cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (calf, hamstring), linebacker Haason Reddick (shoulder) and guard Justin Pugh (calf) are all active for the Week 16 game against the 49ers on Saturday. Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) and tight end Dan Arnold (back), who were also questionable, will play. Edmonds is the most attractive fantasy asset in this group after he saw

The San Francisco 49ers will be without defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw (knee) for Week 16 against the Cardinals on Saturday. Cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring), who was questionable, will play. Cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) also will not play for San Francisco’s defense. The Niners defense hasn’t been terrible this year, but they just haven’t had a ton of upside ever since losing All-Pro pass-rusher Nick Bosa

The Washington Football Team is releasing wide receiver Dontrelle Inman on Saturday in order to activate rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden off of Injured Reserve, according to a source. Inman could be a nice veteran addition off waivers down the stretch for a contending club. After playing for the Colts and Chargers in 2019, Inman had just 18 receptions (28 targets) for 163 yards and

The Cleveland Browns closed their facility on Saturday and their flight to New Jersey to face the Jets in Week 16 on Sunday has been delayed while contact tracing is being conducted following a positive player test for COVID-19. Fantasy managers that were planning on starting anyone from the Browns or Jets on Sunday should keep a close eye on this situation. Check back at

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert replaced Tom Brady under center to begin the second half of Saturday’s game against the Lions with the Bucs already up 34-0 going into the second half. Gabbert promptly hit tight end Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first attempt of the game to put Tampa up 40-0 early in the third quarter. Brady was a ridiculous

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (foot) has been downgraded to out after hobbling off early in Saturday’s Week 16 game against the Buccaneers. The Lions are down 34 points to begin the second half, so the Lions understandably don’t want to risk anything else with Stafford after he came into the game already dealing with rib and thumb injuries. Chase Daniel replaced Stafford in the

The New York Giants Defense has a brutal matchup in Baltimore for Week 16. New York will face a road-test against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens offense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses. Fantasy managers playing in Week 16 should look elsewhere for a defense. Source: NFL.com
