Fantasy Football Injury Report

Ja'Marr Chase

Fantasy Football Injury Report We have reached the fantasy football semi-finals It is hard to imagine any roster surviving unschated by this point.

Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report. Finally, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s  Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 16. We will continually update this list. Tyreek Hill (WR) Miami Dolphins – Hill nearly suited up last week, so there is optimism that he will be good to go in Week 16. Miami was easily able to dispatch the hapless Jets without Hill. However, a Christmas Eve matchup against the Cowboys should be much more challenging. I expect Hill to be close to 100% and will keep the Discord Channel updated. Ja’Marr Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Chase suffered an AC joint separation and is week-to-week. Normally, this injury would take 2-4 weeks to recover from, so fantasy managers should plan on not having Chase in their lineups for the remainder of the fantasy season. However, if he beats that timeline and the Bengals remain in the Wildcard chase, it is possible Chase could play next week, so don’t drop him quite yet. Michael Pittman (WR) Indianapolis Colts – The hit that forced Pittman to exit Week 15 resulted in a concussion and a suspension. Hopefully, Pittman will be able to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol this week. Of course you eject Damontae Kazee for this hit. Michael Pittman Jr. doesn’t deserve a brain injury – or spine – for trying to make a great catch. (He got a #concussion) It’s a new day in sports. These are human beings first. We can adjust how we play. pic.twitter.com/agYEGM5khw — Chris Nowinski, Ph.D. (@ChrisNowinski1) December 16, 2023 C.J. Stroud (QB) Houston Texans – Stroud is still on the NFL’s concussion protocol. As of Tuesday, Stroud isn’t particularly close to returning to practice. Additionally, the Texans have a tough matchup against Cleveland’s top-ranked defense. Stroud managers should plan on starting another signal-caller in the semi-finals. UPDATE: Aaron Wilson has all but ruled Sroud out. #Texans signing Tim Boyle to practice squad one day after they didn’t get Nathan Rourke on waiver claim. C.J. Stroud remains in #NFL concussion protocol, still has symptoms, per sources. Texans are preparing Case Keenum to start second game in a row with Stroud not set to return… — Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) December 19, 2023 Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts – After missing three games, Taylor will return to practice this week. This is an excellent sign that he will play in Week 16. Conversely, the timing is impeccable. Zack Moss exited last week’s win with a shoulder injury. Josh Jacobs (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – The quad injury that kept Jacobs out of Thursday’s game is not a long-term condition. Jacobs should return to practice this week. When he does, he will take back control of the Raiders’ offense. Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – The Jaguars are reeling. Now, the team’s quarterback must clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before he can return to practice. Nearly two-thirds of players miss at least one week after being diagnosed with a concussion. With Trevor Lawrence in concussion protocol, the Jaguars are signing quarterback EJ Perry to their practice squad, per his agent @seanstellato. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) December 19, 2023 Geno Smith (QB) Seattle Seahawks – Reports indicate that Smith was very close to playing on Monday Night Football. However, Pete Carroll elected to err on the side of caution in the rainy weather. With another week off to heal his groin injury, we expect Smith to start in Tennessee. Nico Collins (WR) Houston Texans – Collins is dealing with a calf injury but there is optimism that he will return this week. Keenan Allen (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – LA’s season is over, so there is no real reason for the team to bring Allen back before he’s 100%. This week’s practice attendance will be telling and he’s off to a bad start by missing Tuesday’s session. Christian Watson (WR) Green Bay Packers – This has been a lost season for Watson. However, after missing two more games with another hamstring ailment, Watson may return in Week 16. If he can get in a full practice session this week, expect Watson to play. Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints – Some good news: Olave appears to be trending in the right direction. Only a walkthrough today for the Saints, and we didn’t see everyone. However, Chris Olave was present during the open portion of practice made available to the media. — John Hendrix (@JohnJHendrix) December 19, 2023 Rhamondre Stevenson (RB) New England Patriots – Stevenson is still dealing with a high-ankle sprain. However, there is a chance he will return to practice this week. We will have an update as New England’s Sunday Night game approaches. Marquise Brown (WR) Arizona Cardinals – Brown’s heel injury popped back up in Week 15. Brown has only topped 50 receiving yards once since Week 5. There is little reason for the Cardinals to trot Brown back out in a lost season. Therefore, fantasy managers can move on. Jayden Reed (WR) Green Bay Packers – Reed injured his toe in the fourth quarter of Green Bay’s Week 15 loss. Reed has been Green Bay’s top wideout. However, a turf toe injury could sideline him for the rest of the fantasy season. We should know more about his status as the week progresses. Kenny Pickett (QB) Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers are expected to start Mason Rudolph this week. However, Pickett returned to practice on Tuesday and could presumably be

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16

Congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals. Only the best of the best- or luckiest- teams make it this far. However, more untimely injuries complicate rosters in this penultimate week. FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16 breaks down all the players you should ahead of your semi-final matchup.

Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Chandler was our top add last week and came up huge, posting the best game of the season for any Minnesota running back with his 157-yard performance. If somehow Chandler slipped through the cracks and is still available, do whatever it takes to add him to your roster.

Noah Brown (WR) Houston Texans – Brown led Houston’s depleted receiving corps in snaps (66) and posted a massive 32.4% target share. Even when Nico Collins returns, Brown is cemented into a solid role with a Texans offense that will have C.J. Stroud back under center. Subsequently, he has WR3 value for the remainder of the season.

Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – With Keaton Mitchell’s season over, Hill should…

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 16

Geno Smith

The 2022 fantasy football regular season has come to a close with the playoffs in full swing. The must-win games are here. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 16 picks help you identify values to target and fades to avoid. It is also crucial to know which waiver wire picks to make and to stay up-to-date on the injury report. Here are our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 16 Also, as a friendly reminder, there are 11 NFL games this Saturday.  Editor’s note: This article is written by Bradley Stalder.  QUARTERBACKS  Start ‘Em Geno Smith (Seattle Seahawks) That is, you are starting Pro Bowl QB, Geno Smith. Smith is currently the QB8 on the season in fantasy points per game, has thrown for 26 TDs in only 14 games, and has eight top-12 performances. The Chiefs give up the 4th most fantasy points to opposing QBs on the season and the game total between the Seahawks and Chiefs is at 49, among the highest of the week. In a potential shootout where Seattle is a 10-point dog, expect Geno Smith to have a bounce-back performance after a dismal Week 15 against the 49ers. Daniel Jones (New York Giants) The Giants and Vikings game is worth targeting in a week where there are few game-totals over 45 points. Earlier this season, Jones torched the secondary of the Detroit Lions for a season-high 341 passing yards (425 air yards) and 50 rushing yards. He’s faced difficult secondaries ever since. Now he gets Minnesota, who allows the 2nd most passing yards to QBs and 2nd most receiving yards to WRs on the season. And while Minnesota stifles running backs, they give up an additional 3.42 fantasy points per game for rushing QBs, the 7th highest rate in the league. Jones is 5th among QBs in rushing yards and has 5 rush TDs on the season. Put Jones on your streaming radar in Week 16. Sit ‘Em Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns) Watson has finished no better than the QB14 in his three starts thus far. He’s been held under 14 fantasy points and under 165 passing yards in two of his three games. Amari Cooper, the Browns leading WR, is still dealing with a hip injury.  While Watson’s had 6 rush attempts in each game it’s been hard for him to find running room. The Saints, on the other hand, only give up 15.6 fantasy points per game. Fantasy managers should avoid pass-catchers in this Saints-Browns game as the game total is a meager 32.5 and there is the expectation of weather significant enough to affect the game. It would be unsurprising to see 70+ rush attempts in this game.  Derek Carr (Las Vegas Raiders) Carr has struggled with accuracy this season. He ranks QB25 or worse in the following efficiency categories: Accuracy Rating, True Completion Percentage, Deep Ball Completion Percentage, Red Zone Accuracy, Clean Pocket Accuracy, Completion Percentage vs. Man Coverage, Completion Percentage vs. Zone Coverage, and Pressured Completion Percentage. With poor accuracy and wide receivers who cannot separate, that can pose a problem for Carr as he’s only finished as a top-8 QB once on the season– displaying a lack of upside. The Steelers are favored at home on Christmas Eve for what projects to be 18 team points for the Raiders. The Steelers have allowed the 2nd fewest passing yards to opposing QBs over the last 3 weeks. It’s not the cake-walk matchup fantasy managers might think.  RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Raheem Mostert (Miami Dolphins) Even if Jeff Wilson is back to being active for the Dolphins, start Mostert with confidence. He’s coming off a 17-136 performance against Buffalo. Now he gets Green Bay, with whom he has a tantalizing history. Back in 2020’s NFC Championship game, Mostert torched the Packers with a 29-220-4 rushing line. The Packers are among the most generous fantasy matchup for RBs, having allowed 196 rushing yards per game over the last three weeks– the most in the NFL.  Jerick McKinnon (Kansas City Chiefs) McKinnon, the RB1 overall in both Weeks 14 and 15, should be in the league-winner conversation. He’s averaged nearly 14 touches and over 100 total yards over the last 3 weeks. Seattle is a plus matchup, as the Seahawks allow the 2nd most fantasy points on the season and 3rd most rushing yards over the last three weeks to running backs. Fantasy managers shouldn’t fade Isiah Pacheco either, but McKinnon is the preferred back in the Chiefs backfield. Sit ‘Em D’Onta Foreman (Carolina Panthers) Fantasy managers were on tilt after Foreman gave a 10-9 performance in Week 15 against Pittsburgh. What’s more concerning is that Foreman saw his snap share drop to 30% and Chuba Hubbard’s exceed 50%. The Detroit matchup isn’t an easy one either. The Lions allow the fewest rushing yards to RBs over the last three weeks and give up the 7th fewest fantasy points to RBs on the season.  Zack Moss (Indianapolis Colts) The hype about Zack Moss seems unwarranted. Yes, Moss did garner 24 carries and 8 RedZone carries in the Week 15 game against Minnesota. But he only rushed for 81 yards and didn’t fall into the EndZone. On 8 Red Zone carries. Moss is averaging 1.1 yards per carry in the RedZone this season. His volume was a coaching decision to try (but was not successful) to salt away a 33-0 lead. Deon Jackson is a better pass-catcher and should be the preferred back in Indy moving forward. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em Garrett Wilson (New York Jets) Wilson is matchup-proof and quarterback-proof as much as a rookie can be. Wilson has finished as WR29 or better in six of his last seven games and with 95+ receiving yards in three of his last four. Even with Zach Wilson, arguably the worst-graded and efficiency-rated starting quarterback in the NFL, Garrett Wilson went 4-98 on 9 targets. The Jaguars give up the 2nd most receiving TDs and the 8th most fantasy points to
