Award-Winning Fantasy Football Advice

Falcons WR Drake London (knee) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Buccaneers. HC Raheem Morris has been calling London "day to day" for two weeks now, but he's yet to return to practice. We wouldn't consider London a lock to make it back for Week 16. TE Kyle Pitts has been the top dog in Atlanta's passing game with London out the last three weeks, totaling 23 targets, 15 catches, and 197 yards. WR Darnell Mooney has totaled just 12 targets, six catches, 105 yards, and one TD over that stretch.

Jets RB Breece Hall (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt says Hall is dealing with "knee soreness." It sounds like there's still a good chance Hall is able to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, but we'll keep you updated on his status. Hall's absence would leave RB Isaiah Davis in a high-volume role.

Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) will get in a limited practice on Wednesday, HC Zac Taylor said. It's surprising after Higgins entered the protocol for the second time in the last three weeks. We still wouldn't be counting on him to play vs. the Ravens on Sunday, but it's at least now a possibility. We'll update Higgins' status again tomorrow.

Jets QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Aaron Glenn said. They'll be evaluated later this week. QB Brady Cook will get the first-team reps on Wednesday and is the favorite to start this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. Cook was abysmal last week, completing 47% of his passes at 5.4 yards per attempt against a beatable Dolphins pass defense. RB Breece Hall is the only viable fantasy starter in this offense -- and he's not even a comfortable play with Cook.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) won't play against the Giants this weekend, HC Dan Quinn said Wednesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that there's no new structural damage to Daniels' left elbow and that he'll be re-evaluated next week. We remain skeptical that we'll see Daniels again this season, but we'll keep you updated on his status. QB Marcus Mariota gets another start on Sunday and is a fringe QB1 option. Mariota has finished as a top-13 fantasy QB in four of his six starts this year, including each of the last three.

Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) will remain on IR, ending his 2025 season. The 23-year-old hasn’t played since Week 4.

Buccaneers TE Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful for Thursday night's game against the Falcons. He's averaged 5.1 targets per game this season, although that's sunk to 3.0 over the last two games with WR Chris Godwin ramping up. Otton will be replaced by some combination of TEs Payne Durham and Devin Culp, but neither is a fantasy option. Expect more targets to be funneled to the WRs and RBs.

Buccaneers HC Todd Bowles said Wednesday morning that WR Mike Evans (collarbone) has shown everything he's needed to show in practice to be activated for Thursday night's game vs. the Falcons. We'll see how he's listed on the final injury report later today, but we're now projecting Evans to play in this one. OC Josh Grizzard said last week that Evans would likely be on a snap count in his first game back, so don't expect his usual level of playing time against Atlanta. That said, we'd expect to see him on the field in high-leverage situations, particularly near the end zone. You'd ideally wait a week before getting Evans back in fantasy lineups, but he's at least in the WR3/4 mix based on his TD upside. Consider Evans' return a slight ding to WR Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin's outlooks.

The Indianapolis Colts have signed veteran QB Philip Rivers to their practice squad. With QB Riley Leonard week-to-week with a knee injury, Rivers bolsters the QB depth in case he is needed. He will compete with QB Brett Rypien, also on the practice squad, for the back-up job. But, it isn’t out of the question for Rivers to start at some point with the Colts trying to claw their way into the playoffs.
