| 12/29/2025 3:50:00 PM | Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that Mariota (hand/quadriceps) is "a stretch" to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Eagles but has not been ruled out yet, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. |
| Mariota has not resumed practicing since suffering a pair of injuries during Washington's loss to the Eagles in Week 16, which paved the way for Josh Johnson to start versus the Cowboys in Week 17. Per Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C., Quinn said Mariota is not yet moving at full speed, and Zach Selby of the team's official site confirms that the veteran quarterback wasn't able to make it through Monday's walkthrough. If Mariota doesn't play Week 18, Johnson will close out the 2025 campaign under center for the Commanders. | |
| 12/29/2025 12:06:00 PM | Coach Zac Taylor confirmed Monday that Burrow will start next Sunday's regular-season finale against the Browns, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports. |
| Neither the Bengals nor Browns have anything to play for besides pride and personal statistics, so there was a small chance Burrow could sit for Week 18. However, the Bengals are trying to end the season on a high note after beating the Dolphins and Cardinals in Weeks 16 and 17, respectively. Since returning to the field in Week 13, Burrow is fantasy's overall QB5 with a pair of 300-yard passing games and a 12:4 TD:INT. | |

| 12/29/2025 2:24:00 AM | Moore (illness) had one reception on four targets for seven yards in Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers. |
| Moore was able to suit up for Sunday Night Football despite carrying a questionable tag due to an illness. Fantasy managers didn't benefit much from his presence in the lineup after the starter finished with a 25 percent catch rate. Moore was coming off two of his better games of the season prior to Sunday's dud, so there is hope for a bounce-back performance against the Lions once he is fully recovered in Week 18. | |
| 12/28/2025 11:31:00 PM | Sampson rushed the ball 11 times for 27 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Steelers. He added three receptions on three targets for zero yards. |
| Sampson was able to return from a two-game absence, and he immediately led Cleveland's backfield with 14 touches. That translated to limited production, as he was inefficient as both a rusher and receiver. However, Sampson will likely retain a significant role for a more favorable Week 18 matchup against the Bengals. | |
| 12/28/2025 9:56:00 PM | McLaughlin made one of two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Dolphins. |
| McLaughlin had a 55-yard field-goal attempt blocked late in the second quarter, and the Bucs went to halftime trailing 17-7. The veteran kicker later made one from 33 yards. McLaughlin hadn't missed a field-goal try since Week 6 prior to Sunday. He's now 29-for-34 on field goals and 31-for-32 on PATs through 16 contests. | |
| 12/28/2025 9:05:00 PM | Little made all three of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts. |
| Little's field goals came from 34, 42 and 53 yards out, and they also turned a three-point Jacksonville deficit into a six-point win. The 2024 sixth-round pick has been solid for the Jags in his second season, making 87 percent of his field goals (28-of-32) and 45 of 46 extra points. He has not missed a kick from inside 40 yards. | |
| 12/28/2025 5:48:00 PM | Etienne rushed 17 times for 76 yards and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-17 win over the Colts. |
| Both of Jacksonville's touchdowns came on Trevor Lawrence touchdown runs as Etienne was held out of the end zone after scoring five rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns over the previous seven games. Etienne has handled at least 15 touches in all but two games this season, and he's likely to see another hefty workload in Week 18 against the Titans. Jacksonville would clinch the AFC South crown with a win over Tennessee or a Texans loss to the Colts. | |
| 12/28/2025 5:32:00 PM | Singleton finished Thursday's 20-13 win over the Chiefs with four tackles (two solo). |
| Singleton played 42 of 43 defensive snaps (97.7 percent), but his four tackles were a season low. The veteran linebacker is up to 128 tackles (51 solo), including 1.0 sacks, three pass defenses and one forced fumble through 15 regular-season games. The Broncos wrap up the regular season in Week 18 against the Chargers, when they'll look to lock up the No. 1 seed in the AFC heading into the playoffs. | |
| 12/28/2025 5:25:00 PM | James logged eight tackles (five solo) and an interception during the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday. |
| James picked off a C.J. Stroud pass that was tipped near the line of scrimmage, which the Chargers offense converted into a 27-yard field goal from Cameron Dicker six plays later. It was James' third interception of the season, two of which have come over his last three games. The veteran safety is up to 94 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and Week 18 against the Broncos presents James the opportunity to reach the tackling century mark for the fifth time in his eight-year NFL career. | |
| 12/28/2025 4:28:00 PM | Hall said after Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots that his knee is fine and the running back noted that he doesn't think he'll need testing on it, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. |
| That said, with the Jets well out of playoff contention, the team will likely err on the side of caution unless Hall is deemed 100 percent ahead of Week 18 action. The Jets are slated to close out their 2025 season next weekend with a road contest against the Bills. Hall rushed 14 times for 111 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 18 yards prior to hurting his knee, highlighted by a 59-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter. He raised his season total to 1,065 rushing yards, becoming the first 1,000-yard rusher for the Jets since Chris Ivory in 2015. | |
| 12/28/2025 11:53:00 AM | Browning (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Bengals' emergency third quarterback against the Cardinals on Sunday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports. |
| Browning won't be allowed to see the field Sunday unless both Joe Burrow and Joe Flacco were to be taken out of the game due to injury, illness or ejection. | |
| 12/28/2025 1:08:00 AM | Reed recorded four receptions on four targets for 41 yards in Saturday's 41-24 loss to the Ravens. |
| Reed finished second on the team with four targets, though the majority of that opportunity came in short areas of the field. The exception was a deep target down the right sideline that went for 30 yards early in the third quarter, ultimately helping to set up a field goal for the Packers. While Reed plays an important role in the offense, he's been held below 50 yards from scrimmage in three of four games since recovering from a collarbone injury. | |
| 12/27/2025 8:32:00 PM | McConkey brought in one of two targets for 31 yards and returned two punts for 13 yards in the Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday. |
| McConkey's inconsistent production persisted in Saturday's key game, although the second-year wideout made a significant contribution on his one catch. McConkey hasn't cleared 43 receiving yards in five consecutive games, but he'll still head into the Week 18 road matchup against the Broncos with an outside chance of recording the 111 receiving yards he'd need to hit the 900-yard mark for the second time in as many pro seasons. | |
| 12/27/2025 4:04:00 PM | The Raiders placed Crosby (knee) on the injured reserve Saturday. |
| Crosby left Raiders facilities Friday after expressing displeasure upon learning he had been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, per Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com. Following his placement on IR, Crosby will now be sidelined for Week 18 against the Chiefs as well. The edge rusher will thus wrap up the 2025 campaign with 73 total tackles, 10.0 sacks, six passes defensed, one interception and two forced fumbles across 15 appearances. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Crosby is expected to require offseason surgery to address his left knee injury, but he should be back to full health for training camp. | |
| 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 5:00:00 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. | |
| 12/24/2025 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. | |
| 12/24/2025 12:41:00 PM | Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that Driskel will serve as the team's No. 2 quarterback behind starter Josh Johnson during Thursday's game against the Cowboys, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports. |
| With Jayden Daniels (elbow) and Marcus Mariota (hand/quad) both ruled out for Thursday's divisional contest, Driskel -- who was signed off the Cardinals' practice squad earlier this week -- will suit up as Johnson's backup. Josh Johnson. Driskel's last NFL action came back in 2024 with Washington, when he played one snap on offense in a Week 2 game against the Giants. | |
| 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. | |
| 12/22/2025 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. | |
| 12/13/2025 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. | |
