| 12/25/2025 7:14:00 PM | Karlaftis (illness) is active for Thursday night's game against the Broncos. |
| Karlaftis will be good to go for Week 17 after being added to the injury report with an illness Wednesday. The defensive lineman has compiled 46 total tackles (24 solo), including 6.0 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed and a fumble recovery over 15 games so far this year. | |
| 12/25/2025 5:28:00 PM | Croskey-Merritt carried the ball 11 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day. |
| The rookie running back kept Washington in the game, scoring from 10 yards out in the second quarter before breaking free for a 72-yard TD in the third. It was the second time this season Croskey-Merritt topped 100 rushing yards with multiple touchdowns in a game, and over the last three contests he's churned out 226 yards and four TDs. Chris Rodriguez (illness) will likely be back in action in Week 18 against the Eagles, but Croskey-Merritt has done more than enough of late to retain a significant role in the offense for the Commanders' season finale. | |
| 12/25/2025 5:18:00 PM | Sampson (hand) is listed as limited on Thursday's estimated practice report, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports. |
| The Browns didn't officially hold an on-field practice Thursday, but had the team done so, it's estimated that Sampson would've reprised the limited activity level he logged Wednesday. The rookie running back hasn't played since Week 14, and he'll have one more chance to prove he can handle full practice reps Friday. With Quinshon Judkins (ankle/fibula) out for the year, Sampson will have a chance to lead a backfield that also houses Trayveon Williams and Raheim Sanders if he can gain clearance to play Sunday versus Pittsburgh. | |
| 12/25/2025 5:00:00 PM | Johnson completed 15 of 23 passes for 198 yards without a touchdown or an interception in the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day. He added 10 rushing yards on two carries. |
| Getting his first NFL start since 2021 with both Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand) unavailable, the 39-year-old Johnson was an effective game-manager for Washington but nothing more, even in a matchup against a weak Dallas defense. Daniels has already been ruled out for the rest of the season, but Mariota could be cleared to return in Week 18. If not, Johnson will likely be under center again versus the Eagles. | |
| 12/25/2025 4:38:00 PM | Lamb caught five of 10 targets for 46 yards in the Cowboys' 30-23 win over the Commanders on Christmas Day. |
| The Pro Bowl wideout led Dallas in targets and catches on the day, but Lamb wound up third on the team in receiving yards and didn't haul in either of Dak Prescott's two TD passes. Lamb has caught at least five passes in five straight games, posting a 30-441-1 line on 44 targets over that stretch, and he'll look to finish the season on a high note in Week 18 against the Giants. | |

| 12/25/2025 11:36:00 AM | Hartman is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys but will act as Washington's emergency No. 3 quarterback. |
| Hartman will only be eligible to suit up versus Dallas on Thursday if both Josh Johnson and Jeff Driskel are forced out of the Christmas Day contest. His opportunity to handle the emergency role comes with Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand) both already ruled out. Hartman is still vying for a chance to make his regular-season debut. | |
| 12/24/2025 10:51:00 PM | Crosby (knee) didn't participate in Las Vegas' practice Wednesday. |
| Crosby continues to battle the knee injury that he's been playing through over the past several weeks. The 28-year-old should thus be good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Giants, where he'll look to help slow down an offense that passed for just 33 yards last week versus the Vikings. | |
| 12/24/2025 4:08:00 PM | Hockenson (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Detroit. |
| Hockenson was held out of practice all week due to a shoulder injury that he likely picked up against the Giants on Sunday, and the injury has been deemed severe enough for the veteran tight end to be sidelined for Christmas Day. Josh Oliver, Ben Yurosek and Ben Sims will step into larger roles in Week 17, though their fantasy floors will be far lower given that Max Brosmer is under center for the Vikings due to J.J. McCarthy (hand) being ruled out. Hockenson's next and final opportunity to play this season is Week 18 against the Packers on Sunday, Jan. 4. | |
| 12/24/2025 3:13:00 PM | David (rest) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. |
| David is not listed with the knee injury he overcame before the Week 16 Sunday loss to the Panthers, but the veteran linebacker had an easier day as he rests for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins. The 35-year-old will likely upgrade to a full participant by Friday, but regardless of his Week 17 practice status, he will probably suit up for Sunday's game barring any sudden injury. | |
| 12/23/2025 10:31:00 PM | Queen logged seven tackles (four solo) in Pittsburgh's win over the Lions on Sunday. |
| Queen played every defensive snap and matched Kyle Dugger for the most tackles on the team during the victory. The 26-year-old has now compiled 113 tackles (53 solo), including 1.0 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery, and will look to add to his totals during the Week 17 matchup versus the Browns. | |
| 12/23/2025 8:51:00 PM | James logged six tackles (five solo) and a forced fumble during the Chargers' 34-17 win over the Cowboys on Sunday. |
| James caused a turnover for a second consecutive week, when he knocked the ball out of the hands of a scrambling Joe Milton, which Tuli Tuipulotu jumped on to give the Chargers the ball at midfield. James has logged 16 combined tackles over his last two outings, and the veteran safety is up to 86 tackles (46 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and six pass defenses (two interceptions) across 15 regular-season games. He'll have two more games to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his NFL career beginning this Saturday against the Texans. | |
| 12/22/2025 10:45:00 PM | Singleton registered 13 tackles (four solo) during the Broncos' 34-20 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. |
| Singleton and Patrick Surtain were the only two Bronco defenders to play all 70 defensive snaps Sunday, and it was the former that led both teams with a season-high 13 tackles. It was the fifth time that Singleton reached double-digit tackles and first since Week 9 against the Texans. He is up to 124 tackles (49 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 14 regular-season games. | |
| 12/22/2025 7:28:00 AM | Garrett record 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Bills in Week 16. |
| The half-sack was the only tackle on which Garret was involved, but it moved him one step closer to the season record for sacks. He's up to 22.0 and needs another 1.0 sacks over the final two games to establish a new NFL season high. That pursuit will be one of the few on-field areas of interest as the Browns finish out a second consecutive double-digit loss season. | |
| 12/21/2025 11:37:00 PM | McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra points in Tampa Bay's 23-20 loss to Carolina on Sunday. |
| McLaughlin converted 50- and 23-yard field goals against the Panthers and hasn't missed a kick since Week 6. On the season, the veteran kicker has made 28 of 32 field-goal tries and 29 of 30 extra-point attempts. He'll be in a good spot next Sunday against the Dolphins' anemic defense. | |
| 12/21/2025 11:25:00 PM | Little made both of his field-goal attempts and all four of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. |
| Little remains perfect since the Jaguars' Week 8 bye, going 15-for-15 on field goals and 29-for-29 on PATs over the last eight games. Little's makes against the Broncos came from 47 and 26 yards. In a high-scoring Jacksonville offense, Little is a premier fantasy kicker headed into next Sunday's Week 17 date with the Colts. | |
| 12/21/2025 11:16:00 PM | Etienne rushed the ball 16 times for 50 yards in Sunday's 34-20 win over the Broncos. He added four receptions on five targets for 16 yards and a touchdown. |
| Etienne wasn't particularly efficient in his capacity as a rusher or a receiver, but he still managed a solid performance on 20 total touches while benefiting from the absence of Bhayshul Tuten (finger). His longest gain on the ground nearly resulted in a touchdown, as he went for 24 yards midway through the second quarter before being tackled at the three-yard line. Etienne then managed to reach the end zone on Jacksonville's second possession of the second half, catching a short pass before making a defender miss in the open field for a 10-yard trip to the end zone. Etienne has been inefficient as a runner this season, but he has 10 total touchdowns across his last seven games to remain a very consistent fantasy contributor. | |
| 12/21/2025 5:26:00 PM | Hall rushed 16 times for 54 yards and caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints. |
| Hall has notched at least 14 rushing attempts in 10 of the last 12 games as the most consistent option in the Jets' lackluster offense. He needs 46 rushing yards over the final two games of the regular season to reach 1,000 for the first time in his four-year NFL career. Hall will try to hit that benchmark in Week 17 against the Patriots. | |
| 12/21/2025 5:07:00 PM | McConkey caught four of his six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys. |
| McConkey will be hard-pressed to surpass his yardage total from last year given the litany of offensive-line injuries Los Angeles has tried to survive, but the second-year wideout has quietly become a potent scoring threat -- he tallied his 13th touchdown of his career Sunday. The 24-year-old has yet to surpass 50 receiving yards since a stretch where he exceeded the mark in five consecutive games in Weeks 6-10. That directly coincides with the timing of the injury to Joe Alt (ankle) and bears keeping in mind for fantasy managers ahead of a difficult matchup against the Texans in Week 17. | |
| 12/21/2025 5:03:00 PM | Burrow completed 25 of 32 passes for 309 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins. He added six rushing yards on two carries. |
| One week after the Bengals got shut out for the first time with Burrow under center, the 29-year-old quarterback bounced back with his best performance of 2025. Burrow hit Tee Higgins for a nine-yard score in the first quarter before really getting going after halftime, finding Chase Brown for two short TDs in the third quarter before connecting with Mike Gesicki for a 17-yard touchdown in the fourth. Burrow has two four-TD games in the last three weeks and a 10:4 TD:INT in four games since returning from a toe injury, and he'll take aim at another struggling defense in a Week 17 clash with the Cardinals. | |
| 12/21/2025 11:49:00 AM | Browning (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Bengals' emergency third quarterback against the Dolphins on Sunday. |
| Browning will serve as the Bengals' emergency QB3 for a fourth consecutive week, which means he is not allowed to play Sunday unless both Joe Burrow and Joe Flacco were to leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. | |
| 12/21/2025 12:51:00 AM | Reed brought in all three targets for 35 yards and rushed once for six yards in the Packers' 22-16 overtime loss to the Bears on Saturday night. |
| Reed wasn't consistently involved throughout, and he exited the game for a spell in the second half to be evaluated for an undisclosed injury, per Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com. Jordan Love's exit from the contest in the second quarter due to a concussion likely didn't help matters, although Reed hauled in a 31-yard pass from Malik Willis in overtime for the majority of his production. Reed will aim to bounce back with a more productive showing at the expense of the Ravens secondary in a Week 17 home matchup next Saturday night. | |
| 12/21/2025 12:39:00 AM | Moore recorded five receptions on seven targets for 97 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 22-16 overtime win over the Packers. He added one rush for 12 yards. |
| Moore was expected to serve in a big role due to Rome Odunze (foot) and Luther Burden (ankle) both being sidelined. However, he made a limited impact early on after suffering an apparent back injury early in the first quarter, while Caleb Williams attempted only nine passes in the first half. Despite the slow start, he managed to play through the injury and played a key role in Chicago's comeback win, delivering long catches of 22 and 20 yards in the fourth quarter. Moore capped off his day with a 46-yard receiving score to give the Bears the win in overtime. This was his highest yardage total of the season, and Moore now has five touchdowns in his last five games. | |
| 12/13/2025 5:47:00 PM | The Lions placed Branch (Achilles) on injured reserve Saturday. |
| Branch underwent successful surgery Wednesday to address a torn Achilles suffered during the Week 14 win over Dallas. With a recovery timeline of eight to 12 months, he'll now shift his focus to recovering in time for the start of the 2026 regular season. Branch finishes the 2025 season with 75 tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and nine passes defended over 12 games. | |
| 11/26/2025 3:13:00 PM | With Joe Burrow (toe) having been activated off IR, Flacco is in line to to work as the Bengals' No. 2 QB in Thursday's game against the Ravens. |
| After arriving via a trade with the Browns in October, the veteran QB drew six starts for the Bengals, who went 1-5 in that span. With Burrow back in the starting lineup, Flacco is worth rostering only by those in deeper fantasy leagues or by Burrow managers who have the flexibility/bench space to keep his backup on hand. | |
| 11/21/2025 12:04:00 PM | LaPorta (back) has undergone surgery, and head coach Dan Campbell described LaPorta's chances of returning this season as "very, very slim" Friday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports. |
| LaPorta was placed on injured reserve Nov. 15. His earliest possible return date is Dec. 14, but Campbell's update suggests LaPorta will be out well beyond that point, most likely missing the remainder of the season. Campbell didn't completely shut the door on LaPorta returning, so the star tight end might make it back if the Lions put together a deep playoff run. Brock Wright and Ross Dwelley are the two remaining healthy options at the position on the active roster. | |
| 9/23/2025 4:25:00 PM | The Cardinals placed Conner (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday. |
| It's merely a procedural move, as Conner has already been ruled out for the season after he was injured in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. Conner's season is cut short after rushing 32 times for 95 yards and one touchdown. He added eight catches for 38 yards and an additional score as a receiver. With Conner done for the year, the Cardinals are set to roll with Trey Benson as their No. 1 RB, with Emari Demercado as depth in the backfield. | |
