Terry McLaurin (ankle) is doubtful for Week 16.

This is a surprise with Washington looking to clinch the division on Sunday, but it makes sense to rest their top playmaker for a potential NFC East championship matchup in Week 17 versus the Eagles. If McLaurin is out, Robert Foster could see some more snaps as a vertical threat, though it will be difficult to trust any of the Washington receivers with a fantasy title on the line.

Julio Jones (hamstring) ruled out for Week 16.

Jones is out again, but the team is holding out hope that he can return for the finale. Calvin Ridley should remain the offensive centerpiece for a probable shootout versus the Chiefs and should be viewed as a high-end WR1 play.

The Bills have released Jake Kumerow.

Kumerow caught a touchdown last week, but this is a sign that John Brown (ankle) will play on Monday night. We could see Kumerow go to Buffalo’s practice squad.

George Kittle (foot) will play in Week 16.

San Francisco is eliminated from playoff contention, but Kittle is still returning, and head coach Kyle Shanahan even said that he is one of the team’s healthiest players. Even on a possible pitch count, Kittle immediately needs to be in all lineups as a top-five option at tight end.

Hunter Henry has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Henry will be out this weekend, which puts fantasy owners relying on him as a solid TE1 in a difficult spot. Fortunately, there are 16 games to choose a replacement from, so it’s better than happening on Sunday morning. Donald Parham Jr. and others should see more snaps.

The Buccaneers are signing Drew Stanton to the practice squad, according to FOX’s Peter Schrager.

Stanton has a history with Bruce Arians from their time together in Arizona, so Tampa Bay gets another experienced arm after losing Josh Rosen to the 49ers.

Kyle Rudolph (foot) has been ruled out for Week 16.

It’s unfortunate that Rudolph won’t be there on Christmas, but the Saints weren’t a great matchup anyway. Irv Smith Jr. will handle the vast majority of reps at tight end with Tyler Conklin also seeing time.
