  • FA Running Back #25

    LeSean McCoy admits he will consider retirement following Super Bowl LV.
    “If I get two championships, with my résumé, it might be over,” McCoy said Tuesday. “But you never know. When I retire, I definitely want to retire an Eagle. That’s always a dream.” McCoy is the kind of player who has earned the right to decide when to hang it up, but the decision is still mostly being made for him. Now 32, McCoy has handled the ball only 154 times over the past two years, with just 25 of those touches coming in 2020. McCoy’s wish to go out as an Eagle could be arranged for this summer.

  • CHI Running Back #20

    Bears RB Travis Homer (hamstring) did not practice on Monday.
    Homer returned from injured reserve in late October after battling a hamstring injury and now appears to be fighting through another one. His role with both D’Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson was likely to be confined to special teams, making this one of little fantasy importance.
  • NO Quarterback #4
    Saints declared QB Derek Carr, WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling, RB Alvin Kamara, DT Nathan Shepherd, and DT Khristian Boyd inactive for Week 16 against the Packers.
    That makes all primary skill position starters except tight end Juwan Johnson out for the Saints in Week 16, with Rashid Shaheed and Taysom Hill done of the season and Chris Olave yet to make it back from a devastating concussion. Kendre Miller should see increased run in the backfield in the absence of Kamara.
  • GB Defensive Back #23
    Packers declared LB Quay Walker, WR Malik Heath, S Javon Bullard, CB Jaire Alexander, S Evan Williams, and OL Jacob Monk inactive for Week 16 against the Saints.
    Alexander will miss his fifth straight for the Pack while linebacker Quay Walker misses his second game this season. It makes sense for the team to give the injuries as much time as possible to heal up with the playoffs on the horizon.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #8
    Metchie missed the team’s Week 16 loss to the Chiefs with a shoulder injury but got in a full session in the team’s first true practice of the week in preparation for a Week 17 meeting with the Ravens. We’ll get further confirmation from the team on Tuesday, but it certainly appears as if Metchie will return from his one-game absence.
  • HOU Guard #69
    Texans G Shaq Mason (knee) and C/G Juice Scruggs did not practice Monday.
    The interior of the offensive line became an issue against the Chiefs in Week 16 as the Texans struggled to sustain drives. Running back Joe Mixon averaged 4.1 yards per carry as well, which is right at the seasonal average allowed by the Chiefs. That’s bad news for a team fighting for playoff seeding with a matchup against the Ravens in Week 17, who are one of the only teams in the league to allow fewer yards per carry than the Chiefs in 2024.
  • GB Defensive Back #23
    ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports Packers CB Jaire Alexander will not play in Week 16 against the Saints.
    It’ll mark the fifth straight absence for the elite cornerback as he tends to a knee injury suffered in Week 11. Holding him out until fully healthy is likely the right long-term call for a team all but assuredly to find themselves playing in Wildcard weekend in the postseason. Alexander managed to return to a full practice this week but the additional time off should ensure he is back to 100% for the playoffs.
  • SEA Running Back #9
    Seahawks listed Kenneth Walker (ankle) as a DNP on Monday’s estimated practice report.
    Walked suffered an ankle injury in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the Vikings and didn’t return to the field. He dealt with an ankle injury earlier in the season but hasn’t been listed with an ankle injury since Week 14’s game against the Cardinals. Monday’s report was only an estimation, but if Walker can’t go on Thursday against the Bears, Zach Charbonnet would again be jammed into a bell cow role. We’ll see if things improve for Walker on Tuesday when the Seahawks take the field for the first practice of the week.
  • ARI Quarterback #1
    Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Kyler Murray will not be rested in Arizona’s final two games of the season.
    Great news for fantasy football, this is. It’s also a good sign that Murray is coming out of the competitive portion of this year mostly healthy. Thus far, Murray has completed 68.6 percent of his passes for 3288 yards, 16 touchdowns, and nine picks. Those aren’t exactly franchise quarterback numbers, but Murray has probably done enough to remain Arizona’s franchise quarterback going forward while they focus their 2025 resources on the defense and offensive line.
  • BAL Wide Receiver #82
    Ravens claimed WR Steven Sims off waivers from the Texans.
    Two can play the “claim a wideout off waivers from the team they’re playing this week” game, Texans. Sims is more of a punt returner than anything, but the Ravens have struggled in that area as Desmond King put a ball on the ground on Saturday. The rare Festivus waiver claim trade is to be celebrated.
  • HOU Wide Receiver #18
    Texans claimed WR Diontae Johnson off waivers from the Ravens.
    Johnson will be able to share some intel on his old team ahead of Christmas’ game against the Ravens. The target vacuum that has emerged in Houston with injuries to Tank Dell and Stefon Diggs is an inviting fantasy football volume spot. It is unlikely the Texans would ask Johnson to be that right away, but the #RevengeGame narratives do write themselves nicely. We’d expect them to try and get his feet wet in Week 17, and maybe give him an expanded role in Week 18 and see what happens against the Titans.
