The target structure for the Patriots will be different this week. We should see more targets for Brandon LaFell, plus the Patriots could use more of Shane Vereen as a receiver out of the backfield. Edelman didn't receive final clearance from the concussion protocol to play Sunday, Dec. 21. Back to Top CAR - QB Cam Newton to start

Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton (back) will officially start Sunday, Dec. 21, against the Cleveland Browns.

Newton truly is Superman. We'd expect his rushing attempts to be lower this week as he comes back from the back injury he sustained in a massive car wreck. Newton is still a low-end QB1 in Week 16. Back to Top ATL - WR Julio Jones will be game-time decision

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones' (hip) availability for Week 16 will be determined by his pregame workout, according to a source.

This is what we've expected all along with Jones. Fantasy owners need to be cautious here, and make sure you have another option at the ready. Even if Jones plays, he could be mostly a decoy for the Falcons. Consider him a risky WR3/flex play if Jones is out there in Week 16. Back to Top PHI - TE Zach Ertz with career game

Philadelphia Eagles TE Zach Ertz had 15 catches for 115 yards Saturday, Dec. 20. Both of which are career highs.

Washington was trying to slow down Jordan Matthews and Jeremy Maclin. They failed to cover Ertz adequately. Fantasy owners who started Ertz in PPR leagues came up huge today. Back to Top WAS - RB Darrel Young punching it in

Washington Redskins FB Darrel Young has two rushing touchdowns through three quarters Saturday, Dec. 20.

Those who started Alfred Morris had a good night, but it would have been a great night had he--and not Young--had scored those two short-yardage touchdowns. Morris finished with 83 yards on the ground plus one rushing score. Back to Top HOU - WR DeAndre Hopkins a gametime decision

Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) will be a gametime decision Sunday, Dec. 21, after not practicing all week.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Fantasy owners need a heads up here. The Texans will be starting Case Keenum at quarterback, and they may be playing without Hopkins. If you were counting on Hopkins, make sure to have another plan in place if he doesn't play. Back to Top CIN - TE Jermaine Gresham practices Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham (toe) practiced in full Saturday, Dec. 20.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Gresham makes for a decent TE2 with TE1 upside against the Broncos on Monday night. The Broncos defense historically struggles against tight ends, and QB Andy Dalton will have to look for short passes to supplement the ground game. Dalton will also use relief-valve receivers like Gresham to help escape the Broncos elite pass rush. Back to Top CIN - WR A.J. Green off injury report

Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green (illness) was removed from the injury report Saturday, Dec. 20.

Green is a WR1 every week...even this week on Monday night in a tougher matchup against a Broncos secondary featuring Aqib Talib and Chris Harris. Back to Top MIA - Make two roster moves

The Miami Dolphins promoted WR Matt Hazel to the active roster and released LB Jake Knott Saturday, Dec. 20.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Hazel is an interesting prospect to monitor in super deep dynasty leagues. The 2014 sixth-round pick out of Coastal Carolina plays larger than his size (6'1"). He has the speed to get downfield quickly, and Hazel has shown good concentration when tracking passes over his shoulder. Back to Top DAL - RB DeMarco Murray expected to play

Dallas Cowboys RB DeMarco Murray (hand) reportedly plans on playing this week despite a broken bone in his hand.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Incredible. Murray might be held out of passing downs so he won't have to pass protect with that banged up hand. He's likely to play, so fantasy owners have to start him. Back to Top DEN - TE Julius Thomas probable for Monday

Denver Broncos TE Julius Thomas (ankle) is probable for Week 16.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
He's a TE1 for your fantasy team. However, that's on the lower end of the TE1 scale since the Broncos have been running the ball on 54 percent of their offensive plays over the last month. Back to Top DEN - Saturday injury report
Source: DenverBroncos.com
Denver Broncos LB Brandon M. Marshall (foot) and OT Paul Cornick (toe) are out for Week 16. RB Juwan Thompson (hip, knee), OT Ryan Clady (thigh), CB Kayvon Webster (shoulder) and RB Ronnie Hillman (foot) are questionable. C Will Montgomery (knee), TE Jacob Tamme (ribs), OT Chris Clark (back) and WR Cody Latimer (concussion) are probable.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Hillman might play this week, but we think the Broncos hold him out one more week. The Bengals surface is artificial, and the team doesn't want to risk Hillman re-aggravating his injury. Back to Top DEN - WR Demaryius Thomas probable

Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas (ankle) is probable for Monday night's game with the Cincinnati Bengals after practicing fully Saturday, Dec. 20.

We like Thomas as a WR1 this week. Yes, the Broncos are a run-heavy team now but Thomas is Peyton Manning's favorite target. Back to Top DEN - RB C.J. Anderson listed as probable

Denver Broncos RB C.J. Anderson (ankle) was a full participant in practice Saturday, Dec. 20, and is probable for Monday night's game versus the Cincinnati Bengals.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Anderson was a full participant all week in practice. The Broncos are a run-heavy team now, and Anderson has been averaging over 27 carries per game over the last month. Expect him to put up RB1 numbers in Week 16. Back to Top DEN - QB Peyton Manning takes normal snaps

Updating a previous report, Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning (thigh) took a similar amount of snaps Saturday, Dec. 20, as he has all season, according to head coach John Fox, before being listed as questionable for Monday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brock Osweiler is unlikely to play in this big game for the Broncos in Week 16. However, in Week 17 we could see Osweiler for about a half against the hapless Oakland Raiders. Back to Top DEN - WR Emmanuel Sanders sent home

Denver Broncos WR Emmanuel Sanders (illness) is not participating in practice Saturday, Dec. 20, because he was sent home with flu-like symptoms.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
Broncos head coach John Fox expects Sanders to make the trip to Cincinnati for Monday Night Football. “Yes I do, but we’ll see what happens tomorrow. That’s when we leave.” Fox said in his Saturday press conference. Sanders is facing a tough Bengals secondary, and we've seen his role reduced in recent weeks as the Broncos have become a run-heavy team. Consider him more of a low-end WR2/flex play in Week 16. Back to Top DAL - Zack Martin optimistic

Dallas Cowboys OG Zack Martin (ankle) is optimistic about his chances to play in Week 16 even though he did not practice this week.
[ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
The Cowboys may already be without RT Doug Free as he's listed "doubtful" on the injury report. If Martin can't play, the Cowboys running game would not be quite as successful in Week 16 against the Colts. Back to Top NYJ - DE Muhammad Wilkerson may be game-time decision

New York Jets DE Muhammad Wilkerson (toe) said he likely will be a game-time decision for Week 16.

The Jets defense would suffer without Wilkerson on the field. Wilkerson said the toe is improving but still is dealing with pain. Back to Top

December 21, 2014, 12:11 ET DAL - RB DeMarco Murray Says He "Hasn't Decided Yet" On Whether He'll Play
Summary: After a full morning of optimistic talk on DeMarcy Murray, ESPN's Ed Werder just reported that his sources are telling him that while the decision to play is up to Murray, Murray hasn't decided yet on whether he'll play. How much of this is gamesmanship is of course up for debate.
Jay Glazer from FOXSports had this: "Unless something changes pregame Cowboys plan for DeMarco Murray to play, tho his role will be limited some re: pass catching, blocking"
Our take is that we agree with most of the other reports that Murray will play. But we do have serious worries that he'll be limited. December 21, 2014, 11:58 ET IND - WR T.Y. Hilton Wants To Play But Status In Doubt
Summary: From ESPN's Adam Schefter: "TY Hilton wants to play. But no Colts player who Did Not Practice during week this season has played Sunday." We're pessimistic on Hilton as the risk of aggravating the injury seems high. Because it's a late kickoff, we won't have official word for a few hours so we'd look elsewhere if you can.
