Link to story Packers | Questionable tag for Christian Watson Thu Dec 18, 03:46 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (chest, shoulder) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: We should see Watson out there against the Bears on Saturday night. We've got him in the WR3/flex range for Fantasy GMs in Week 16. |
Buccaneers | Chris Godwin misses practice Thu Dec 18, 03:45 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin (fibula, rest) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: With 75 yards over the last two games, Godwin hasn't been producing much for Fantasy GMs. Let's see what he can do on Friday, but if he plays against the Panthers in Week 16 he should be seen as a deep flex option. |
Chris Godwin Jr. player page
Buccaneers | Mike Evans sits out Thursday Thu Dec 18, 03:42 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (rest, collarbone) did not practice on Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Watch his status on Friday. Evans caught 6-of-12 targets for 132 yards in the Buccaneers' Week 15 loss to the Falcons. That was his first game action since Week 7, and this is a huge contest against the Panthers in Week 16. He's a low-end WR1 if he plays on Sunday. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs' status in question Thu Dec 18, 03:41 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (ankle, knee) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs now has three DNP's this week in preparation for Saturday's game against the Bears. He's a seasoned veteran and doesn't need every practice rep, but this is a worrisome development. Make sure he's in the lineup before trusting him as a starter in Week 16. Emanuel Wilson will do more if Jacobs can't play. |

Chiefs | Rashee Rice misses practice again Thu Dec 18, 03:19 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (concussion) missed practice on Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Both Rice and Tyquan Thornton are in the concussion protocol. It looks like new Chiefs starting QB Gardner Minshew will be without these wide receivers. That could lead to more targets than usual for Travis Kelce. |

Panthers | Full practice for Tetairoa McMillan Thu Dec 18, 03:16 PM
Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan (ankle, foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: McMillan missed practice on Wednesday, but he's back to full on Thursday. That means he's good to go for the Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers. In a game to control the NFC South, we like McMillan as a WR2/flex option. |
Bears | Cole Kmet listed as questionable Thu Dec 18, 03:12 PM
Chicago Bears TE Cole Kmet (ankle, knee) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, but is listed as questionable for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Rome Odunze will miss Week 16, so that could mean more targets for guys like Kmet and Colston Loveland. We've got Kmet as a TE3 and Loveland as a low-end TE1 in Week 16 for Saturday's game against the Packers. |
Cole Kmet player page
Bears | Questionable tag for D'Andre Swift Thu Dec 18, 03:09 PM
Chicago Bears RB D'Andre Swift (groin) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 18, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Against the Packers on Saturday night just make sure Swift is going to play before the game. He's questionable and has been limited this week, but he should be good to go as a high-end RB2 for Fantasy GMs in Week 16. |
D'Andre Swift player page
Bears | Rome Odunze to miss Week 16 Thu Dec 18, 03:06 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Odunze hasn't played since Week 13 against the Eagles. With no Luther Burden as well against the Packers on Saturday night, expect more targets for DJ Moore, Colston Loveland, and Olamide Zaccheaus. |
Bears | Luther Burden ruled out Thu Dec 18, 03:05 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) did not participate in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, and has been ruled out for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Burden is out, and Rome Odunze (foot) is out as well. That means more targets for guys like DJ Moore, Colston Loveland, and Olamide Zaccheaus. |
Bears | Week 16 injury report for Chicago Thu Dec 18, 03:02 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (ankle) and WR Rome Odunze (foot) did not practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers.

Texans | Woody Marks misses practice again Thu Dec 18, 01:22 PM
Houston Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) did not practice again on Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Two DNPs to begin the week of practice means Marks is on the wrong side of questionable. There's some optimism around his Friday status from reporters around the team. Let's see if the rookie can get out there and practice at least in a limited fashion then. Coming off a 100-yard game against the Cardinals in Week 15, Jawhar Jordan is a hot waiver wire addition who could get more work if Marks can't play against the Raiders. |
Texans | Nick Chubb practicing again Thu Dec 18, 01:20 PM
Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb (rib) practiced for a second straight day on Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Texans here with Woody Marks (ankle) missing both practices so far this week. Chubb and Jawhar Jordan could be carrying the load for the Texans as they play the Raiders in Week 16. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson's practice window opens Thu Dec 18, 12:17 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye) had his 21-day practice window opened Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Shane Steichen said Richardson still has some vision limitations and isn't 100% cleared. Expect the Colts to roll with Philip Rivers as their starter and Riley Leonard as their backup. Richardson may not be ready to play for another few weeks. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs sitting out Thu Dec 18, 12:14 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) is out of practice Thursday, Dec. 18.
| Footballguys view: Last week, Jacobs was DNP, DNP, and limited then still played against the Broncos. This time, Jacobs is questionable with three missed practices and a Saturday game against the Bears. He's certainly a game-time decision, so Fantasy GMs need to be dialed in on his status. Emanuel Wilson would be in line to do more if Jacobs has to miss Saturday night's game. |

Eagles | A.J. Brown on the move this offseason? Thu Dec 18, 10:11 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown could be a trade candidate this offseason, according to several NFL executives that spoke with Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: That's not a surprising report given the fact that Brown seems unhappy with the Eagles this year. Brown has a $23.3 million cap hit in 2026 with a whopping $72.5 million remaining in dead money. A trade before June 1 would mean the Eagles would have to eat a $20 million cap hit. |

NFL | Kansas QB Jalon Daniels headed for the NFL Thu Dec 18, 10:11 AM
University of Kansas QB Jalon Daniels announced he has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft on Wednesday, Dec. 17. Daniels completed 62.1% of his pass attempts for a career-high 2,531 yards, 22 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 2025, while running for 404 yards and four more scores.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is a dual-threat quarterback, but accuracy problems and inconsistent reads (plus a lack of NFL size) may relegate him to being seen merely as a backup or gadget quarterback at the pro level. |
NFL | Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price enters draft Thu Dec 18, 10:11 AM
Notre Dame RB Jadarian Price said Wednesday, Dec. 17, that he will enter the 2026 NFL Draft, forgoing his senior season in South Bend. Price earned numerous All-American honors for his work on kickoff returns, including a first-team nod from The Sporting News. He ran for 1,692 yards and 21 touchdowns across three seasons, but he also had 792 return yards and three kickoff returns for touchdown.
| Footballguys view: There's a bit of Alvin Kamara or Raheem Mostert to Price's game. He's an explosive running back who can make big plays as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He can also be used as a return man on special teams. We'll see how his draft stock rises or falls before the draft, but right now Price seems like a Day 2 pick in the 2026 NFL draft. |
NFL | Raleek Brown leaves Arizona State for NFL Draft Thu Dec 18, 10:11 AM
Arizona State RB Raleek Brown declared for the 2026 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Dec. 17. He posted 1,141 rushing yards on 186 carries in 2025, including a career-high 255 rushing yards against Colorado, breaking a Sun Devils' single-season record for rushing yards in a road game. It was also the third-best total in school history, behind just current New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (262 - 2024) and former Arizona Cardinals RB Eno Benjamin (312 - 2018).
| Footballguys view: Brown is a compact player, measuring in at 5-feet, 7-inches, 170 pounds. He's an explosive back or slot receiver option with his quickness and natural hands. Adding more muscle to his frame and getting well versed in pass protection will be key to Brown having success at the pro level. |

NFL | Makai Lemon declares for 2026 NFL Draft Thu Dec 18, 10:11 AM
USC WR Makai Lemon, the 2025 Biletnikoff Award winner, has officially declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, he posted on his official social media account on Tuesday, Dec. 17. He finished with 79 receptions, 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2025. He is not expected to play in the Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30 against TCU.
| Footballguys view: He's a slot receiver who could be a top-10 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Lemon can make plays with quickness and elusiveness after the catch. He's a smart player who can win at the stem of his route, and Lemon will certainly be a playmaker at the pro level. |
Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes begins rehab Thu Dec 18, 10:04 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) has begun rehabbing from surgery to repair the anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament in his left knee.
| Footballguys view: The team is hopeful he could return early next season, possibly by Week 1. That's a bit optimistic right after the injury, but we'll get progress reports in the summer when training camp is drawing near. Gardner Minshew takes over as the starter now, and he's set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026. |
