The Jets have placed DT Quinnen Williams on the COVID list, knocking him out for today's game against the Jaguars. That's a big loss for a defense that was already a positive matchup for Jacksonville RB James Robinson.
Lions LB Jalen Reeves-Maybin (shoulder) and DL Michael Brockers (knee) are active for today's game against the Falcons.
Buccaneers CB Jamel Dean (illness) is active for today's game against the Panthers. As expected, EDGE Jason Pierre-Paul (shoulder) is out. He hit the weekend doubtful.
Ravens DL Calais Campbell (thigh), EDGE Odafe Oweh (illness) and Brandon Stephens (illness) are active for today's game against the Bengals.
Giants DL Austin Johnson (foot) is active for today's game against the Eagles.
Rams DL Greg Gaines (ankle) is active for today's game against the Vikings.
Patriots S Adrian Phillips (knee) is active for today's game with the Bills. He arrives as a nice upside IDP play. DT Christian Barmore (knee) and LB Ja'Whaun Bentley (ribs, ankle) are also active after arriving questionable.
Giants WR Kadarius Toney (oblique) is active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. It’ll be the rookie’s first action since Week 11 after dealing with a couple of different injuries and a trip to the COVID list. Especially with QB Jake Fromm making his 1st start, Toney is a shaky fantasy play.
Jets LB C.J. Mosley (back) and DT Quinnen Williams (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Jaguars.
Panthers WR D.J. Moore (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bucs. He was listed as questionable after getting in just a limited practice on Friday. Moore played through this injury last week, catching 6 of 11 targets for 48 yards.
Chargers S Derwin James (hamstring) is active for today's game, but the team listed no inactives because of the number of players missing on the COVID list. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, it's still "TBD on if he plays." If we don't hear ahead of kickoff, you'll need to start someone else in your IDP lineup.
Bills RB Matt Breida is a healthy scratch for today's game vs. the Patriots. RB Zack Moss is active after being healthy scratched the past 2 weeks. That might hint at more of a power-run element to Buffalo's run game plan today. But we're still expecting Devin Singletary to operate as the Bills' lead back.
Jets WR Jamison Crowder (calf) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. That leaves Braxton Berrios as New York’s slot receiver – and a desperation play in PPR leagues.
Vikings WR Adam Thielen (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He’s 3 weeks removed from a high-ankle sprain and was limited in practice all week. Thielen’s fantasy floor is lower than usual today.
Texans RB David Johnson (quad) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Chargers. Rex Burkhead should operate as Houston’s clear lead back, with Royce Freeman as the #2.
Lions WRs Josh Reynolds (thigh) and Kalif Raymond (shoulder) are active for today's game vs. the Falcons. Neither is a recommended fantasy play with Tim Boyle under center.
Lions RB D’Andre Swift (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He returned to limited practices this week and might be back for Week 17. Jamaal Williams and Craig Reynolds should handle most of Detroit’s backfield work today.
Patriots RB Damien Harris (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bills. He was limited in practice all week and carries some risk of re-injury. But, with RB Rhamondre Stevenson (COVID) out, Harris could handle a big workload today.
Jaguars LB Myles Jack tested positive for COVID on Sunday morning and will miss today's game against the Jets. That leaves Damien Wilson as the lead LB for today's upside matchup with the Jets. In the lone full game Jack has missed so far this year, Wilson collected a season-high 12 tackles. Wilson has climbed our Week 16 IDP rankings.
It sounds like Chargers S Derwin James will carry plenty of risk as an IDP option today even if he's active against the Texans. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that James is a game-time decision. "While he has progressed as well as hoped, the true test will be in the workout," Rapoport says. James played through his hamstring injury last Thursday night against the Chiefs but made it through just 39% of the defensive snaps before leaving. He then managed just 1 limited practice Friday. James remains in starter territory in our Week 16 IDP rankings, but we have moved him down a few spots. Consider, too, the possibility of the Chargers jumping out to a big lead on Houston and then pulling James early to rest his hamstring.
