Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist, personal) is active for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He did not practice on Wednesday, was a full participant on Thursday, but then was limited on Friday. Hill, of course, has been playing through the wrist issue for much of the season. He seems fine to keep in Week 16 fantasy lineups, especially with WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive.
Bills WR Curtis Samuel (rib) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s been a minor part of the passing game for most of the season, so there’s not much fantasy impact here.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts exited in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Commanders for a concussion check. He was replaced by QB Kenny Pickett, who tossed a TD to WR A.J. Brown. We'll update Hurts' status when we know more.
Update: Hurts has been ruled out with a concussion. It's his first documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week, leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo says the Seahawks will announce RB Zach Charbonnet as the starter for today's game against the Vikings. "Expect him to be a big part of the plan as well," he said, adding to the report that RB Kenneth Walker III is expected to go without limitations.
The Panthers made starting S Jordan Fuller a healthy scratch for today's game against the Cardinals. Darin Gantt of the team website reports that rookie Demani Richardson is expected to start in Fuller's place.
Commanders S Jeremy Chinn is active for today's game against the Eagles. I boosted his playing-time projection, which has moved him up the Week 16 DB rankings.
Jets DT Quinnen Williams is inactive for today's game against the Rams. He tested his hamstring injury pregame, but it was clearly deemed not ready. His absence is good news for Rams RB Kyren Williams as well as the passing game, which won't have to deal with one of the Jets' best pass rushers.
The Colts have activated LB Jaylon Carlies from IR, and he is active for today's game against the Titans. CB JuJu Brents remains on IR, despite recently returning to practice.
Lions RB David Montgomery is targeting the Divisional Round for his return from an MCL injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Detroit will get the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye if they win out, so Montgomery might end up not missing any playoff games. Although risky, he could be a good pick in playoff fantasy football contests.
Titans LB Kenneth Murray Jr. is active for today's game against the Colts. He makes for a risky IDP option, though, after missing all three practices with the hamstring injury that kept him out two weeks ago. Murray did return last week to play 94% of defensive snaps against the Bengals, though.
Lions S Brian Branch (calf) is active for today's game against the Bears. Use him as planned in your IDP lineups.
Giants RB Tyrone Tracy (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week, but we’ve heard nothing to suggest that the ankle will be a major issue today. Tracy projects as a low-end RB2 in fantasy lineups.
Titans K Nick Folk (abdomen) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He’ll be replaced by K Brayden Narveson. Look elsewhere for Week 16 fantasy lineups.
Panthers WRs Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Moore should be a full-go. Coker carries a bit more risk after being added to the injury report on Thursday and limited in Friday’s practice.
Browns TE David Njoku (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday, so there’s elevated risk of limited snaps and/or re-injury. Njoku also gets a QB downgrade in Dorian Thompson-Robinson. He’d be a shaky Week 16 fantasy start.
Colts K Matt Gay (neck) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so the neck shouldn’t be much of an issue in this one.
Commanders TE Zach Ertz (concussion, shoulder) is active for today’s game vs. the Eagles. His playing time shouldn’t be impacted by last week’s concussion, but Ertz draws a tough matchup against the No. 8 TE defense. See where he sits in the Week 16 TE Rankings.
Jets RB Braelon Allen (back) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He’s not a viable fantasy option, especially with RB Breece Hall off this week’s injury report.
Titans RB Tony Pollard (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. Pollard has been playing through injuries for much of the season, but he didn’t practice at all this week after aggravating his ankle injury in last Sunday’s game. We haven’t seen any specific reports about Pollard being limited today, but we’re projecting him to cede more work than usual to RB Tyjae Spears. See where both guys sit in the Week 16 RB Rankings.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo confirms that Rams TE Tyler Higbee is expected to be limited in his return today from last January's torn ACL and MCL. Garafolo is expecting Higbee to play 20-25 plays vs. the Jets. Most of those figure to come in passing situations, but Higbee still should be nowhere near Week 16 fantasy lineups.
