Green Bay Packers QB Malik Willis (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Commanders | Josh Johnson starting Thursday Wed Dec 24, 12:22 PM

Washington Commanders QB Josh Johnson will start against the Dallas Cowboys Thursday, Dec. 25, according to head coach Dan Quinn.

Footballguys view: Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2008, has bounced around to over a dozen NFL teams during his career. He's a trusted backup with rushing ability, but with Johnson starting it does downgrade the Washington passing game. Adjust expectations for guys like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel accordingly.

Falcons | Drake London to practice Wed Dec 24, 12:02 PM

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) will practice 'with modifications' this week, according to head coach Raheem Morris.

Footballguys view: London caught 3-of-8 targets for 27 yards in the Falcons' Week 16 win over the Cardinals. In his return to action last week, London didn't quite look like himself. Perhaps with another week of practice...with modifications...London will play up to his potential. From a fantasy perspective, we like him as a low-end WR1 against the Rams on Monday night.

Packers | Jordan Love at practice Wed Dec 24, 11:43 AM

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love (concussion) is practicing Wednesday, Dec. 24, but he remains in the concussion protocol.

Footballguys view: Love's status for Saturday's game against the Ravens is unknown at this time. He's working through the concussion protocol, and he'll need to experience zero setbacks in order to play. Stay tuned. Malik Willis would start if Love can't play.

Raiders | Brock Bowers to IR Wed Dec 24, 11:17 AM

Las Vegas Raiders TE Brock Bowers (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Footballguys view: Bowers has been bothered by this knee injury for some time, and the Raiders decided to shut him down with nothing left to play for. They've been short on talent over the last two years, but they've got an All-Pro level tight end in Bowers. It would be great if the team got the right quarterback and offensive coordinator to get the most out of his immense talent.

NFL | LSU's Aaron Anderson, Harold Perkins to NFL Wed Dec 24, 02:13 AM

LSU redshirt junior WR Aaron Anderson declared for the 2026 NFL Draft, forgoing his final season of eligibility. He posted 106 receptions, 1,341 yards and five touchdowns in his collegiate career. He will also take part in the East-West Shrine Bowl. LB Harold Perkins also announced he is headed for the draft, and he'll take part in the Shrine Bowl, too.

Footballguys view: With blazing speed, Anderson can get by defenders in a hurry. He's a slot receiver and return man who has no problem making opponents miss in space. With a smaller frame (5-feet, 8-inches 188 pounds), Anderson is likely to get dinged in the pre-draft process. He'll need to learn the full route tree, but at this time Anderson is seen as a solid Day 3 pick.

NFL | Michigan captain Derrick Moore heads to NFL Wed Dec 24, 02:07 AM

University of Michigan DE Derrick Moore, a team captain in 2025, has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft. He was a first-team All-Big Ten selection who led the Wolverines with 10 sacks in 2025, and he finished his collegiate career with 21 sacks.

NFL | Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed elects to stay in school Wed Dec 24, 01:52 AM

Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed announced his intentions to return to school for the 2026 season, and while he won't have WR KC Concepcion any longer, he will look to build rapport with WR Mario Craver, who isn't draft eligible until 2027, which is now the earliest Reed can be selected.

Footballguys view: Reed wants to further develop as a passer, and he wants another crack to win a national title with the Aggies. He can make plays off platform, and Reed is seen as a dual-threat quarterback in the pros. We'll see if he can improve his decision making as passer during his senior season.

NFL | Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion into draft Wed Dec 24, 01:49 AM

Texas A&M WR/KR KC Concepcion has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft after his team was eliminated from the College Football Playoffs.

Footballguys view: Concepcion is one of the most dynamic players in this draft class. He can get separation early in his route, and he's an absolute demon when it comes to run-after-the-catch ability. Concepcion can line up all over the formation, and he's got a nose for the end zone. He'll need to cut down on his focus drops, but his ability as an explosive receiver/return man makes him a player who should be a ton of fun to watch in the NFL.

NFL | Syracuse DB Duce Chestnut headed for draft Wed Dec 24, 01:45 AM

NFL | Robert Spears-Jennings heads for 2026 NFL Draft Wed Dec 24, 01:32 AM

University of Oklahoma S Robert Spears-Jennings announced Tuesday, Dec. 23 that he has declared for the 2026 NFL Draft.

NFL | Washington RB Jonah Coleman heads for draft Wed Dec 24, 01:28 AM

University of Washington RB Jonah Coleman declared for the 2026 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Dec. 23, he announced on his official social media site. He scored 15 rushing touchdowns in 2025, tying for the sixth-most in school history, while posting 1,811 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns in two seasons in Seattle.

Footballguys view: We like the skill that Coleman brings to the field. He's got all the pro tools needed to succeed, and Coleman is a three-down back. Coleman has size (230 pounds), vision, contact balance, and can be trusted as a receiver out of the backfield. Some have compared his skill set to former Jaguars RB James Robinson. He may lack explosion for some teams, but Coleman can be a featured runner with a powerful and efficient style at the pro level.

NFL | FSU's Thomas Castellanos declares for draft Wed Dec 24, 01:24 AM

Florida State QB Thomas Castellanos declared for the 2026 NFL Draft on Tuesday, Dec. 23, he announced on his official social media site.

Footballguys view: Castellanos is a developmental quarterback prospect with game-changing athletic ability. He's under 6-feet tall, and he is certainly not polished as a passer. Some have suggested a position switch to wide receiver, but the right team could see him more as at least a gadget quarterback at the pro level.

Commanders | Josh Johnson relishes chance to start Wed Dec 24, 01:11 AM

Washington Commanders QB Josh Johnson could start in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys with QBs Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) nursing various injuries. He has gotten 'a lion's share' of the reps in practice, head coach Dan Quinn said Tuesday, Dec. 23, and he might start his first NFL game since 2021.

Footballguys view: Commanders HC Dan Quinn has announced Johnson will start for the Commanders on Christmas against the Cowboys. Johnson, a fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers back in 2008, has bounced around to over a dozen NFL teams during his career. He's a trusted backup with rushing ability, but with Johnson starting it does downgrade the Washington passing game. Adjust expectations for guys like Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel accordingly.

Commanders | Marcus Mariota unable to practice Wed Dec 24, 01:09 AM

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) did not practice Tuesday, Dec. 24, for a second straight day.

Footballguys view: Mariota may not be able to play in Week 17, but Jayden Daniels (elbow) might be out of action as well. Mariota was a DNP and Daniels is limited in practice so far this week. Commanders HC Dan Quinn has announced Josh Johnson will start for the Commanders on Christmas against the Cowboys.

Steelers | DK Metcalf's two-game suspension upheld; WR's regular season is over Tue Dec 23, 07:40 PM

The two-game suspension for Steelers WR DK Metcalf has been upheld by an appeals officer jointly appointed by the NFL and NFLPA.

Footballguys view: Not much change here for fantasy investors. Metcalf is out for the rest of the regular season -- as expected. The wideout also loses $555,556 in salary and sees $45 million in future guarantees voided, including $25 million that was fully guaranteed for 2026. Beyond that, the fantasy impact is relatively low. Adam Thielen, Roman Wilson, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling could gain opportunities -- as would Calvin Austin III, if he's healthy enough to play. As for Aaron Rodgers? He remains a low-end QB2. But playmakers like Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Warren could be asked to do more.

49ers | Report: TE George Kittle suffered mid-to-low ankle sprain Tue Dec 23, 05:47 PM

The 49ers have gotten some positive news on tight end George Kittle. Per Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Kittle suffered a mid-to-low ankle sprain during Monday night's victory over the Colts.

Footballguys view: That means he should not be out long-term with the injury if he misses any time at all. Kittle told reporters postgame that he didn't believe he had suffered a high-ankle sprain in the second quarter. Kittle also felt like the play was a hip-drop tackle. Kittle finished the Week 16 win with seven catches for 115 yards with a touchdown. In 10 games this season, Kittle has caught 52 passes for 599 yards with seven TDs. We'll be watching for more in advance of Sunday night's game against the Bears.
