Chris Ivory (shoulder) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

Ivory was also a full participant in practice last week, so his Week 16 status isn’t certain yet. We’ll see if he can avoid entering the weekend with an injury designation when the final injury report is released tomorrow.

Derek Carr throws one touchdown in Raiders’ loss.

Carr was 21/38 for 263 yards and one touchdown along with a fumble lost in the Week 15 loss to Cincinnati. Carr extended his interception-less streak to nine games while avoiding mistakes, but he couldn’t get the offense into the end zone more than once while contending with a tough Bengals interior pass rush with the offensive line in front of him decimated by injury. The touchdown was a one-yarder to a wide-open Lee Smith after a play-action fake. The most notably miss of the day for Carr was when he underthrew a wide-open Jordy Nelson for what should’ve been a long touchdown but ended up a 44-yard reception. He also appeared to have Nelson on another potential deep touchdown or long gain where he simply didn’t look his way on a wheel type of route. Next up, Carr plays on Christmas Eve against the Broncos. He could be a fun play on Christmas Eve, but there should be better QB1 options for your lineup with fantasy titles on the line.

LeSean McCoy (hamstring) was officially a full participant in today’s practice.

McCoy said himself he would play this Sunday against the Patriots, and this full practice indicates he will indeed be out there. McCoy was held to 12 carries for 13 yards, doing his most of his damage through the air in the first matchup with New England, so he’s a risky Week 16 FLEX option with fantasy titles on the line.

Ray-Ray McCloud rushed once for seven yard in Sunday’s win.

McCloud wasn’t targeted in the passing game, but he was probably the next man up for Buffalo at running back if Keith Ford didn’t end up returning after a brief exit. The Clemson product won’t be a recommended fantasy option to close out the year.

Austin Ekeler (neck) is officially listed as questionable for Week 16.

Ekeler is not expected to play on Saturday night against the Ravens as he continues to deal with stingers. Perhaps he’ll surprise and get out there for the Chargers, but expect him to be ruled out on Saturday evening. Rookie Justin Jackson will backup Melvin Gordon in Gordon’s return to the field after missing the last three games with a knee injury.

12/20/18 - 03:25 PM ET

Patrick DiMarco rushed once for nine yards in Sunday’s win over the Lions.

DiMarco was the only healthy running back for the Bills at one point, but Keith Ford ended up returning to the game. You can keep Buffalo’s fullback on the waiver wire.

12/17/18 - 10:30 AM ET

Keenan Allen (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday night.

Allen is reportedly expected to play in the Week 16 matchup with the Ravens, but it’s not lock at this point. The good news is the Chargers play on Saturday night before every game but one this week, so his status will be known by around 6:50 PM ET on Saturday night. If active, Allen would be a WR1 as usual despite a tough matchup against Baltimore.
