    Eagles released S Anthony Harris.
    Harris’ career has spiraled out of control since playing on the Vikings’ franchise tag for $11.441 million in 2020. Now 30 years old, he’ll be looking for his third team in the last three seasons. The Eagles are eating over $1.2 million in dead money to cut Harris.

  • TEN Quarterback #8

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said the team will take the next few days to decide who will start at QB in Week 16 against the Colts.
  • CLE Quarterback #5
    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski was unwilling to name a starting quarterback on Monday when discussing Week 16’s game against the Bengals.
  • PIT Linebacker #90
    Steelers coach Mike Tomlin said he’s optimistic T.J. Watt (ankle) will play in Week 16 against the Ravens.
  • LV Quarterback #10
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Desmond Ridder is expected to start in Week 15 against the Falcons.
    Ridder was named as the Week 15 starter by Antonio Pierce last week, but that was before we knew Aidan O’Connell (knee) would try to play through the injury he suffered in Week 14. According to Schefter, O’Connell, who is questionable, will try to test things out in pregame warmups, but Ridder “is expected to start for now.” Assuming he gets the nod, Ridder will have a chance to face off against his former team who selected him No. 74 overall just three years ago. We’ve seen enough of Ridder to know he shouldn’t be viewed as anything more than a low-end QB2 in fantasy leagues and should be kept off the radar altogether outside of 2QB/Superflex leagues.
  • DET Running Back #5
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports David Montgomery is out indefinitely after suffering an MCL injury in the Lions’ Week 15 loss to the Bills.
    According to Schefter, Montgomery is undergoing additional tests on his knee and getting a second opinion, while adding that the veteran running back “could be lost for the season.” He also added that there are some in the Lions’ organization who believe Monty will be out for the season. It’s a brutal blow to the Lions, and Montgomery’s fantasy managers, as Monty has played a key role in the team’s offensive success both on the ground and through the air. Serving as the “Knuckles” to Jahmyr Gibbs’ “Sonic,” Montgomery has rushed 185 times for 775 yards and 12 rushing touchdowns this season. His 12 rushing touchdowns are tied for second-most amongst all running backs, while his 1,116 yards from scrimmage ranks 18th amongst all backs. Montgomery’s absence should set up Gibbs for high-volume weeks in the fantasy playoffs, while backup Craig Reynolds could also see an increase in playing time. Reynolds’ unpredictable workload will keep him off the fantasy radar in Week 16, although he does make for an interesting stash in deeper leagues for those still in the hunt for a championship.
  • DET Cornerback #30
    Lions CB Khalil Dorsey suffered a fractured leg in Week 15’s loss to the Bills and is out for the season.
    In one game, the Lions lost three defensive players for the season, as cornerback Carlton Davis (jaw) and defensive lineman Alim McNeill (knee) are also done for the year. Dorsey suffered a nasty-looking injury when he collided with a teammate and had to be carted off the field after being placed in an air cast. Dorsey contributed primarily on special teams for the Lions this season and has played on less than 100 defensive snaps.
  • DET Cornerback #23
    Lions CB Carlton Davis will undergo surgery on his broken jaw and is out indefinitely.
    On the same day, the Lions learned they lost defensive tackle Alim McNeill for the season they also learned they would be without Davis for the foreseeable future. Davis will almost certainly be out for the remainder of the regular season, but there is a chance he could return for the postseason if the Lions make a deep enough push. That will prove difficult with so many key defenders on injury reserve, but Detroit’s high-powered offense gives them a fighting chance in any given week. Davis has started all 13 games he’s appeared in for the Lions this season, totaling 56 tackles two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, and 11 pass breakups. His absence will be felt by a defense that has been marred by injuries this season.
  • DET Nose Tackle #54
    Lions DT Alim McNeill suffered a torn ACL in Week 15’s loss to the Bills, ending his season.
    ESPN’s Adam Schefter was the first to report the season-ending injury. The news doesn’t come as much of a surprise after head coach Dan Campbell hinted around this in yesterday’s post-game presser, but the team confirmed the worst on Monday. It’s yet another brutal blow to a Lions defense that will add an eighth defensive lineman to their injured reserve list once they make things official with McNeill. McNeill signed a four-year, $97 million extension in October and ends his year with 25 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and a career-high seven TFLs.
  • MIA Wide Receiver #88
    In a statement released by the team, the Dolphins said WR Grant DuBose (head/neck) “has movement in all extremities and initial tests have revealed positive results.”
    DuBose remains hospitalized a day after suffering a brutal hit to the head in Sunday’s loss to the Texans, but it sounds as if the worst is behind him. The second-year receiver was playing in his first game since Week 2 after making his way back from a shoulder injury but now seems unlikely to play again this season. We don’t yet know the specifics of his injury, but we continue to wish DuBose the best in his recovery.
  • MIN Quarterback #14
    ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reports the Vikings “have not ruled out offering [Sam Darnold] a contract for next season.
    According to Seifert, sources have told the team is “more open-minded about their 2025 plans than many realize” in regards to Darnold and the possibility of bringing him back. Darnold has experience a career resurgence with the Vikings, throwing for 3299-28-10 on the season while inserting himself in the MVP conversation. Darnold won’t win the MVP, but he has already set himself for a handsome pay day next offseason. The Vikings have rookie J.J. McCarthy waiting in the wings, which has led many to believe Darnold would be allowed to walk next offseason, but that may not entirely be the case. With three weeks left in the regular season and the playoffs ahead of them, the Vikings still have plenty of time left to assess their future with/without Darnold. Regardless of where he lands, it will be an interesting offseason for the former No. 3 overall pick.
