Bilal Powell (ankle) is officially active for Week 16.

Powell will mix in behind Le’Veon Bell, but he is not a recommended fantasy option with fantasy championships on the line.

Demaryius Thomas (hamstring/knee) is officially inactive for the Jets.

Thomas was listed as doubtful entering the weekend, so he was expected to miss his second consecutive game. The veteran receiver is probably on the wrong side of 50/50 for the regular season finale next week against the Bills.

D.J. Chark (ankle) is officially active for the Jaguars.

Chark was expected to return for the lineup after his one-game absence, and he’s a solid fantasy option with championships on the line. The Falcons have been playing pretty well defensively, but Chark should see a good number of targets from Gardner Minshew.

Derrick Henry (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 16.

Things were trending in this direction after Henry was downgraded to questionable yesterday, and the former Heisman Trophy winner is now officially out against the Saints—a major loss for fantasy owners in title games. Today’s game does not impact the Titans’ playoff chances, so the team is resting their offensive centerpiece, who has clearly been at less than 100% while dealing with his hamstring injury. Henry is expected to be good to go for Week 17.

The Titans promoted Dalyn Dawkins to the active roster.

With Derrick Henry at less than 100% while dealing with his hamstring injury, the Titans are brining up Dawkins from the practice squad. Dawkins is not a recommended fantasy option for Week 16, even if Henry is inactive tomorrow.

Derrick Henry (hamstring) has been downgraded to questionable for Week 16.

Henry was not listed on the injury report yesterday, but there is now some concern for his status with tomorrow’s game against the Saints. The monstrous running back is clearly not close to full strength right now, but he said he will continue playing until his leg falls halfway off. We expect Henry will be active tomorrow, but his status will be official at 11:30 AM ET.

The Lions are activating Kerryon Johnson off injured reserve.

This was expected, and it will be made official shortly. A talent like Johnson is a definite boost to the Lions offense, but it’s difficult to immediately trust the second-year running back in lineups with fantasy titles on the line. Consider Johnson a risky FLEX option for Week 16.
