  Broncos | Pat Bryant ready to go for Week 16    Fri Dec 19, 06:25 PM

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.

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.

Footballguys view: When asked about his expected return this week, Harrison responded, "We're going to see." Our rankings favor Harrison over Michael Wilson, but both sit on the WR2/WR3 fringe. If Harrison cannot play, Wilson would move into the top ten.

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.

  Falcons | Drake London misses practice    Fri Dec 19, 05:31 PM

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Early on Friday, Raheem Morris said he expected London to return on Sunday, so this feels like a non-story. London missed four games with this knee injury, and returning in Week 16 presents a few challenges. He is coming back from injury and will be without Michael Penix Jr. While Kirk Cousins has looked solid over the past couple of weeks, it is difficult to project London as the top-five wide receiver he was before the injury. You are still starting him in fantasy lineups if he is active, but both his floor and ceiling are slightly lower than they were during his blistering pre-injury pace.

  Texans | Woody Marks questionable for Week 16    Fri Dec 19, 05:28 PM

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 19, and is listed as questionable for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Returning to practice after two DNPs to start the week is a step in the right direction, but Marks remains very questionable. We will look for more information before Sunday's games. The Texans kick off at 4:25 pm ET, which could put fantasy managers in a bind if he is a game-time decision. Nick Chubb or Jawhar Jordan should be picked up if available. If not, move Marks into your flex and consider Pat Bryant, Kayshon Boutte, Rashid Bateman, or Keaton Mitchell as potential late-game pivots. Check back with us Sunday morning for updates, when more information should hopefully be available.

  Vikings | Jalen Nailor should play    Fri Dec 19, 05:20 PM

Minnesota Vikings WR Jalen Nailor (back) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Nailor is coming off a two-touchdown game, tempting fantasy managers to start him this week against the Giants. However, aside from those two games, he has not contributed much in fantasy this year. He is an extremely risky start, falling into our WR5 range.

Miami Dolphins TE Darren Waller (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Waller could serve as a primary target for Quinn Ewers, who is making his first NFL start. The Bengals have been vulnerable to opposing tight ends this year, giving Waller appealing upside. However, he ranks as our TE17 this week, placing him at the back end of the streaming discussion.

Miami Dolphins RB Ollie Gordon II (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.

Footballguys view: Gordon's fantasy relevance has evaporated as Jaylen Wright has steadily become more involved. He's droppable in most formats and only worth a stash in dynasty leagues.

  Steelers | Aaron Rodgers good to go    Fri Dec 19, 04:55 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) practiced in full all week and no longer appears on the injury report for Week 16 against the Detroit Lions.
