Marcus Mariota leaves game with apparent right elbow injury.

Mariota landed on his throwing elbow with under two minutes remaining in the first half, and he’s now headed to the locker room. Tennessee’s franchise quarterback has dealt with elbow/nerve issues for much of the season, but hopefully this doesn’t keep him out past halftime. Blaine Gabbert is now in the game for the Titans.

Jeremy Sprinkle scores in Week 15 win.

Sprinkle caught three passes for 19 yards, including a six-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter of a 16-13 victory. The receptions were the first of the year for the 2017 fifth-round pick, so he won’t be a recommended option over the final two weeks.

Vernon Davis (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 16.

Davis presumably isn’t making the trip to Tennessee for tomorrow’s game versus the Titans. With Jordan Reed also out, Jeremy Sprinkle will be Washington’s top tight end but isn’t a highly-recommended TE1 option.

Jamison Crowder caught four passes for 46 yards in Sunday’s win over the Jags.

Crowder actually led the team in receptions, yards, and targets (four) as Josh Johnson threw for just 151 yards in a spread-it-out attack. Washington’s slot receiver gets a good matchup against the Titans next week due to a broken leg for Logan Ryan, but he won’t be a recommended play in the fantasy championship.

The Saints activated Ted Ginn Jr.

Ginn was placed on injured reserve on October 18, and he hasn’t appeared in a game since Week 5. The speedy veteran receiver could give the Saints a steady presence opposite Michael Thomas, with rookie Tre’Quan Smith still inconsistent early in his career. Ginn is not a highly-recommended fantasy pickup-and-play, but his big-play ability gives him some weekly boom potential.

Chris Thompson contained in win over the Jaguars.

Thompson rushed five times for nine yards and caught one pass for four yards. The receiving back will look to make some plays over the next couple weeks as Washington fights for a playoff spot, but he isn’t a strong play in standard or PPR leagues for the fantasy championship. The Redskins head to Tennessee next Saturday.

T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 16.

This looks like the same situation from the past two weeks, with Hilton being listed as questionable before playing on Sunday. It’d be a major surprise if Indy’s No. 1 receiver doesn’t suit up with his team in the thick of the AFC playoff race, and you can expect he’ll be ready to go for fantasy championship weeks. Hilton should be active when the actives and inactives are released at 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.
