Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke returned to a full practice Friday and has no injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Bears. Heinicke (ankle) had back-to-back limited practices to open the work week after playing all 64 snaps in the Falcons’ 29-10 win over the Colts on Sunday. He has played four games, with three starts, this season, throwing four touchdowns …

Barring a drastic turn of events, the marriage between the Broncos and Russell Wilson is effectively over after less than two full seasons. By benching the veteran quarterback ahead of Week 17, largely in an effort to avoid paying out potential injury guarantees in Wilson’s lucrative contract, the Broncos are broadcasting to the world they’re prepared to split with the …

Next week, college football’s bowl season wraps up with the College Football Playoff. It’s the 10th anniversary of college football’s special “final four,” and while it’s a fun way to wrap up the season, it could be better. How could college football’s playoff system improve? By adding more teams, of course. That’s what will happen next year, as college football’s …

Martin Rogers FOX Sports Insider Are you worried about Brock Purdy after his uncharacteristic interception-laden performance on Christmas Day? Chandler Harnish isn’t.   Mr. Irrelevants, it seems, stick together, whether they’re an MVP candidate like San Francisco 49ers quarterback Purdy or Harnish, the 253rd and final pick of the 2012 draft, who now works as a manager in the construction …

The Dallas Cowboys host the Detroit Lions in Week 17 and America’s Team enters this matchup as 4.5-point favorites. And based on the current playoff standings, if the 10-5 Cowboys hope to get a seeding boost, they need to win outright — even if they don’t cover.  Considering Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is having one of the best seasons of …

Titans quarterback Will Levis missed last Sunday’s game, but it sounds like he’s good to go for the Week 17 matchup against the Texans. Via multiple reporters, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday that Levis is in line to start this weekend.

Welcome to the Friday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! For most of the past two decades, if you mentioned the words “Browns” and/or “playoffs” in the same sentence, you’d get laughed out of whatever room you were in, but now, Cleveland is getting the last laugh. The Browns decided to end 2023 with a bang on Thursday night by …

With just 31 games left in the regular-season, the NFL playoff picture is starting to take shape.  With their 37-20 win over the Jets on Thursday night, the Cleveland Browns became the seventh team to punch their playoff ticket this year. Although the Browns were the first team to clinch a spot in Week 17, there’s a good chance they …

Miami Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle has been officially ruled out for Sunday’s marquee matchup against the Baltimore Ravens (1 p.m. ET), head coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday.  After Waddle suffered a high-ankle sprain in last week’s victory over the Dallas Cowboys, his availability remained questionable throughout the week. The third-year receiver is second on the Dolphins with 72 catches for …

Game environment is the foundational starting point in making fantasy decisions. As such, I’m going to break down each game on the slate into three categories: Binge, Stream and Skip. Games you want to “binge” are like the show you can’t miss; you’re watching as soon as it goes live and might just crush all the episodes in one weekend. …

The Lions have won three of their past four games, notching a 30-24 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16. That victory helped the Lions secure their first division title since 1993. On the opposite sideline, Dallas has …

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson constantly keeps opponents guessing. Count Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio among them. Ahead of Sunday’s heavyweight showdown against Baltimore, the vaunted DC laughed when asked to compare Jackson to his current-day dual-threat peers while summoning the name of the greatest running QB ever. “Yeah, fair share of mobile quarterbacks [this season]? Yes. Then there’s …

PHILADELPHIA — A.J. Brown is a creature of habit, which has immensely benefited the talented Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver throughout his first five years in the NFL. Brown is just 115 receiving yards away from 6,000 through his first five seasons, something only Torry Holt, Randy Moss, Jerry Rice, Julio Jones, A.J. Green, and Mike Evans have accomplished. In other …

USATSI Defensive end Chase Young will go up against his former team Sunday, but he is not putting any more significance on this game than any other. The San Francisco 49ers are set to face the Washington Commanders in a reunion for Young. Young will be in his old stomping grounds at FexEdField as the 49ers look to keep their No. …
