Denver Broncos WR Pat Bryant (hamstring) was listed as a full participant for Friday, Dec. 19, and he was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
| Footballguys view: Pat Bryant had started to emerge as the Broncos' secondary receiver before this hamstring injury caused him to miss Week 15's game. In his absence, Troy Franklin returned to his role as the WR2 and caught six balls for 85 yards and a score. It's tough to know exactly who will play what role in Week 16, but Bryant has some usage as a flex play in deep leagues. |

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten (finger) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and has been ruled out for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Tuten is expected to miss time after undergoing finger surgery and is droppable in most formats. LeQuint Allen becomes Jacksonville's injury-away back and is a savvy pickup for fantasy managers looking to get ahead of the curve. |

Raiders | Geno Smith cleared to start Fri Dec 19, 05:49 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (shoulder, back) practiced in full all week and no longer appears on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Smith was dealing with injuries in the games leading up to Week 16. He is listed with shoulder and back issues, but knee and ankle problems also appeared to affect him. A week of rest should benefit the 35-year-old quarterback. He faces a tough matchup this week against the Texans and is ranked as our lowest starting quarterback. The silver lining, if there is one, is that fantasy managers can have more confidence in starting Brock Bowers again. |

Falcons | No designation for Kyle Pitts Fri Dec 19, 05:31 PM
Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 19, but is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Popping up on Thursday's injury report is usually not promising, but Pitts participated in Friday's practice. No longer on the injury report, he should be a full go against the Cardinals. If Drake London returns, it could impact Pitts' usage. However, after last week's incredible performance, we have him ranked as a top-three tight end. |
