Karene Reid DEN LBBroncos' Karene Reid: Returns to full practice
6h agoReid (hamstring) logged a full practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Reid has been sidelined since Week 11 and was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday. His full session suggests he has a chance to return in Week 16 against the Jaguars, though he'll still need to be activated from injured reserve by Saturday evening.
-
Damien Lewis CAR OGPanthers' Damien Lewis: Under the weather
6h agoLewis (illness) did not practice Wednesday.
Lewis will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's NFC South showdown against the Buccaneers. Yosh Nijman, Austin Corbett and Nick Samac are candidates to start at left guard if Lewis is unable to play.
-
Taylor Moton CAR OTPanthers' Taylor Moton: Nursing back injury
6h agoMoton (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Moton likely picked up the injury during the Panthers' 20-17 loss to the Saints on Sunday. He'll have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC South tilt against the Buccaneers.
-
John Williams GB OGPackers' John Williams: Practice window opened
6h agoWilliams (back) had his 21-day practice window opened by the Packers on Wednesday, Zach Kruse of Packers Wire reports.
Williams has been sidelined since training camp while nursing a back injury, spending the entirety of the season to this point on the reserve/PUP list. The offensive lineman will have to be added to the active roster in the next 21 days, or he'll remain sidelined for the rest of the year.
-
Jay Higgins BAL LBRavens' Jay Higgins: Resumes practicing
6h agoHiggins (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and logged a limited practice, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Higgins has been sidelined since Week 11 and is thus eligible to return at any point. He'll likely have to turn in a full session at some point this week to have a chance to suit up for Sunday night's game against the Patriots. Higgins is likely to return to a role on special teams.
-
Laremy Tunsil WAS OTCommanders' Laremy Tunsil: Limited practice Wednesday
6h agoTunsil (oblique) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Tunsil was able to participate, albeit in a limited capacity, at the team's first official practice of the week. He was considered a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report, but his participation one day later is a good sign for Week 16. The offensive lineman is dealing with an oblique injury, and he'll have one more opportunity to log a full practice Thursday before the team squares off with the Eagles on Saturday.
-
Joey Wiemer SF CFGiants' Joey Wiemer: DFA'd by Giants
9h agoThe Giants designated Wiemer for assignment Wednesday, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
After being DFA'd by the Marlins in November and landing in San Francisco via trade, Wiemer will now go through the waiver process for the second time in as many months. His subtraction from the 40-man roster will create room for Jason Foley, who signed with the Giants on Tuesday.
-
Matt Koperniak STL RFCardinals' Matt Koperniak: Booted from 40-man
11h agoThe Cardinals designated Koperniak for assignment Wednesday, Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Koperniak will lose his 40-man roster spot in order to make room for Dustin May, who officially signed with St. Louis on Wednesday. Koperniak, 27, spent all of 2025 at Triple-A Memphis and endured his worst minor-league season yet, slashing .249/.322/.387 across 537 plate appearances.
-
Allan Winans NYY SPAllan Winans: Released, headed to Japan
12h agoThe Yankees released Winans on Wednesday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Winans asked for and was granted his released in order to pursue an opportunity to play in Japan. The right-hander has performed well in the minors (career 2.70 ERA) but hasn't figured it out at the big-league level, holding a 7.48 ERA, 1.60 WHIP and 44:15 K:BB over 49.1 innings covering parts of three seasons.
-
Shane McClanahan TB SPRays' Shane McClanahan: Avoids arbitration with Rays
12h agoThe Rays and McClanahan (triceps) avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.6 million contract Wednesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
It's the same salary McClanahan was paid each of the last two seasons. The left-hander did not pitch at all in 2024 while recovering from Tommy John surgery and was limited to only three rehab starts in 2025 due to a nerve issue in his left triceps that eventually required surgery. The expectation is that McClanahan will be ready for the start of spring training, but he's a major health risk heading into the 2026 season.
-
Justin Bruihl CLE RPGuardians' Justin Bruihl: Traded to Cleveland
13h agoThe Guardians acquired Bruihl from the Blue Jays on Wednesday in exchange for cash considerations.
Bruihl held a 5.27 ERA and 18:7 K:BB across 13.2 frames at the major-league level during the 2025 season. The left-handed reliever does not have minor-league options remaining, so he should have a good chance to crack the Guardians' Opening Day bullpen.
-
Jhonkensy Noel CLE 3BGuardians' Jhonkensy Noel: Booted from 40-man roster
13h agoThe Guardians designated Noel for assignment Wednesday.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Justin Bruihl. Noel has slugged 19 home runs across 351 plate appearances at the major-league level, but that's come with a .193/.242/.401 batting line, 32.8 percent strikeout rate and 4.8 percent walk rate. That said, he's just 24, and with his power potential, Noel should trade interest via trade or waivers.
-
Patrick Williams CHI PFBulls' Patrick Williams: Season-low 11 minutes
1h agoWilliams ended with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) over 11 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 victory over Cleveland.
Williams officially bottomed out in the win, playing just 11 minutes, the fewest he has played all season. It appears that Williams' ceiling has all but disappeared, now serving as nothing more than a depth piece on a team with very little direction. In 25 games thus far, Williams is averaging just 7.4 points and 1.5 three-pointers in 20.8 minutes per game.
-
Matas Buzelis CHI SFBulls' Matas Buzelis: Dry spell continues
1h agoBuzelis amassed nine points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 win over Cleveland.
Buzelis continues to play limited minutes despite starting, resulting in muted production over the past week. In three games during that time, he has averaged just 9.3 points and 1.0 blocks in 23.2 minutes per contest. As per usual, it appears the Bulls will once again strive for mediocrity by securing a play-in spot. Buzelis is someone fantasy managers will want to try and hold, although moving on from him might help you avoid some sleepless nights.
-
Tre Jones CHI PGBulls' Tre Jones: Double-doubles in win
1h agoJones registered 11 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, 11 assists and three steals in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 victory over the Cavaliers.
Jnoes recorded just his second double-double of the season, doing all of his work in only 24 minutes. All in all, it's been a strong season for Jones, putting up top 75 value in standard leagues, averaging 12.4 points, 5.2 assists and 1.7 steals in 28.0 minutes per game. While there are still doubts when it comes to his long-term role, his assist and steal numbers are consistent enough to at least warrant attention in the majority of leagues. The eventual return of Ayo Dosunmu from a thumb injury will complicate things, but until then, feel free to give Jones a look if he is available.
-
Jaylon Tyson CLE SFCavaliers' Jaylon Tyson: Drops 21 points in start
1h agoTyson notched 21 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
Tyson moved back into the starting lineup at the expense of De'Andre Hunter, a move that yielded immediate results. While fantasy managers had been calling for this move for some time, it is now officially time to ensure Tyson is rostered in all formats. In 12 games over the past month, Tyson has flirted with top 50 value in standard leagues, averaging 15.7 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 three-pointers in 30.7 minutes per contest.
-
Dean Wade CLE PFCavaliers' Dean Wade: Offers nothing in start
1h agoWade closed with two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to the Bulls.
Wade remained in the starting lineup, although he offered nothing in terms of tangible production. Coming off arguably his best performance of the season, this effort was more in line with what we have come to expect from Wade. Through 26 games, he has averaged just 5.4 points and 1.0 three-pointers in 22.5 minutes per game. Even if he continues to start, there is no reason to pay too much attention, outside of deeper formats.
-
De'Andre Hunter CLE SFCavaliers' De'Andre Hunter: Modest production continues
1h agoHunter notched 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-111 loss to Chicago.
Hunter shifted to the bench Wednesday, a move that sounds as though it is going to hold, at least for the foreseeable future. After a strong start to the season, it appears as though the coaching staff is going in a different direction. In 13 appearances over the past month, Hunter is averaging 12.9 points and 1.9 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game, leaving him well outside the top 200 in standard formats.
-
Pavel Dorofeyev LV RWGolden Knights' Pavel Dorofeyev: Strikes on power play
3h agoDorofeyev scored a power-play goal on four shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils.
Dorofeyev has three goals and three assists over his last eight outings. He left the Golden Knights' previous game versus Columbus with an apparent injury, but a longer-than-usual gap between contests allowed him to be healthy enough to play Wednesday. Dorofeyev is up to 14 goals, 22 points (13 on the power play), 87 shots on net and a minus-7 rating across 32 appearances in a top-six role.
-
Carter Hart LV GGolden Knights' Carter Hart: Strong start lost in shootout
3h agoHart allowed one goal on 33 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils.
Hart has maintained a save percentage of .900 or better in four of his first five outings for the Golden Knights. The Devils gave him a season-high 33 shots to see, and he turned in his best effort yet before stopping only two of three shootout attempts. He's now 3-0-2 with 12 goals allowed on 144 shots. Both Hart and Akira Schmid should get the nod in one of the next two games, as the Golden Knights have a road back-to-back ahead with stops in Calgary on Saturday and Edmonton on Sunday.
-
Dennis Cholowski NJ DDevils' Dennis Cholowski: Playing time trending down
3h agoCholowski was scratched in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Cholowski has sat out eight of the Devils' last 13 games after being a regular in the lineup in early November. With Brett Pesce (upper body) back in action, Cholowski will be left to contend with Colton White for one spot in the lineup. Over 15 games this year, Cholowski has one assist, 10 shots on net, 15 blocked shots and a minus-5 rating, so he won't be a factor in fantasy even if he gets a run of playing time.
-
Connor Brown NJ RWDevils' Connor Brown: Capitalizes on turnover
3h agoBrown scored a goal on three shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Brown has two goals and three helpers over his last five games. His tally Wednesday saw him force a turnover, collect the puck and deke around Carter Hart for the goal. Brown is up to eight goals, six helpers, 37 shots on net, 20 blocked shots, 10 hits and a plus-1 rating over 27 appearances. He's playing on the second line currently and could be a streaming option as long as he's in a larger role than usual.
-
Jake Allen NJ GDevils' Jake Allen: Strong showing in shootout win
3h agoAllen stopped 36 of 37 shots in Wednesday's 2-1 shootout win over the Golden Knights.
Allen couldn't make a 1-0 lead stand to the end, as he gave up a power-play goal to Pavel Dorofeyev with 4:11 left in the third period. The 35-year-old Allen didn't let that shake him, and he was perfect in overtime and the shootout to get his second win in a row. He improved to 10-7-0 with a 2.49 GAA and a .912 save percentage over 18 appearances. Allen hasn't had great consistency this year, but he's been a lot better than Jacob Markstrom, and that's starting to be reflected in the playing time. The Devils' next game is Friday in Utah.
-
Filip Forsberg NSH LWPredators' Filip Forsberg: Pots lone goal in loss
5h agoForsberg scored a goal on four shots in Wednesday's 4-1 loss to the Hurricanes.
Forsberg is up to six goals and three assists during his six-game point streak. He broke up Pyotr Kochetkov's shutout bid at 8:06 of the third period, but the Predators didn't build on his goal. Forsberg now has 15 tallies, 26 points, 105 shots on net, 66 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 33 appearances. He's a strong power winger for fantasy, though his power-play production being slightly down has led to an overall decline in performance so far in 2025-26.
