Rashaad Penny (knee) remains out of practice.

Penny’s status is said to be uncertain tomorrow, and he wasn’t expected to practice today. A limited practice tomorrow would be a good sign, but there’s a chance he’s just ruled out ahead of the weekend again. The first-round rookie doesn’t need to be rostered in redraft fantasy leagues to end the season.

Jalen Richard gets nine touches against the Bengals.

Richard had four carries for nine yards and five receptions for 67 yards along with a fumble lost in the Raiders’ Week 15 loss. Richard must do a better job of holding onto the ball after another lost fumble, but he’s been a solid receiver for Derek Carr this season. Richard isn’t a recommended fantasy option entering fantasy finals against a tough Denver defense that limited him to three yards in Week 2.

Spencer Ware (hamstring) officially remained limited in today’s practice.

Back-to-back limited practices is a pretty good sign for Ware, but we’d feel really good about his status if he can get a full practice in tomorrow. He’s likely headed for a questionable tag when the final Week 16 injury report is released tomorrow, which could complicate things for fantasy owners with the Chiefs playing Sunday night.

Zay Jones catches one pass in win over the Lions.

It went for 11 yards, as Jones was only able to bring in a single ball on six looks. The 2017 second-round pick had a couple strong games in the second half of the year, but he’s struggled a bit since moving outside. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere to close out the season.

Lamar Miller (ankle) remains limited in practice.

Two straight limited practices for Miller is a pretty good sign for his Week 16 status, but he’s likely headed for a questionable tag when the final injury report is released sometime tomorrow. Hopefully there’s more clarity on the situation ahead of the weekend.

Darren Waller receives two touches against the Bengals.

Waller, who was signed of Baltimore’s practice squad a few weeks ago, made a couple of big plays for the Raiders in their Week 15 loss. He had a 44-yard reception on a catch and run that he took for a near-score inside the one-yard line, and he had a 21-yard carry on a jet sweep. These were Waller’s first touches since the 2016 season, so it must’ve felt good for him to get in there and contribute like this. He’s an interesting player to keep an eye on, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option in redraft leagues.

Nick Boyle (concussion) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16.

Boyle has a couple of days to get cleared before Saturday night’s matchup with the Ravens. Hopefully he’s feeling better and is able to play, but he’s not a recommended fantasy option in a crowded tight end group for Baltimore.
