Giants WR Darius Slayton has been placed on the COVID list. He'll likely miss Sunday's game vs. the Bears -- but hopefully wasn't in your fantasy plans.

Raiders TE Darren Waller has been placed on the COVID list. He reportedly had a shot to return this week from his knee and back injuries, but he's now unlikely to play vs. the Colts on Sunday. Waller's absence would make TE Foster Moreau a strong spot starter against the league's 31st-ranked TE defense.

Raiders interim HC Rich Bisaccia said Monday that he's "optimistic" TE Darren Waller will return to practice Wednesday, according to Bill Williamson of SB Nation. Bisaccia added that even a Thursday return to practice would still give Waller a chance at playing Sunday against the Colts. We'll watch the star TE's progress this week en route to a high-upside matchup with Indy. Waller's return would knock Foster Moreau out of serious fantasy-lineup consideration. If Waller can't go, then Moreau would carry intrigue.

Panthers DE Brian Burns has tested positive for COVID. In addition, the Panthers sent players home Monday after what HC Matt Rhule called a "somewhat significant" number of positives, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. We'll see who else lands on the COVID list ahead of the Week 17 visit to New Orleans. We'll also see whether Burns has time to make it back from the list before Sunday.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Broncos. Foster Moreau gets another start but is just a TE2 against the league’s 2nd-ranked TE defense.

The Giants are expected to bring back HC Joe Judge and QB Daniel Jones for the 2022 season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's a head scratcher considering that duo has had very little success. The Giants are 10-20 since Judge took over in 2020, while Jones' play has been consistently inconsistent since arriving as the 6th overall pick of the 2019 NFL Draft. If the Giants indeed stick with these guys for 2022, it'll be tough to get excited about the offense for fantasy purposes.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) is listed as doubtful for Week 16. He didn’t practice all week and won’t play vs. Denver on Sunday. Foster Moreau gets another start but is just a TE2 against the league’s 2nd-ranked TE defense.

Washington placed S Landon Collins on IR Friday for his foot injury. With just 3 games left in the regular season, that means Collins is droppable in all redraft formats.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) remained sidelined on Thursday. It's looking like he'll miss this weekend's game vs. the Broncos, giving TE Foster Moreau another start.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) remained sidelined on Wednesday. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported last week that Waller is "hopeful for a return soon," but this isn't a good start for his chances of playing vs. the Broncos on Sunday. We'll update his status again tomorrow.

Giants QB Daniel Jones will be shut down for the rest of the season with his neck injury, HC Joe Judge said Monday. Judge called the move "precautionary" and said this neck injury isn't expected to be a long-term issue for Jones. Some combination of QBs Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm will close out the season for the G-Men.

Giants D-linemen Austin Johnson (foot) and Leonard Williams (triceps) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. Johnson put in just a limited Friday practice after missing the 1st 2 days. He's coming off a season-high snap share in the loss to the Chargers. We'll see about Johnson's status Sunday. Williams managed limited practices all week, despite initial reports that the Giants feared his season might be over. Losing either player would further ding an already weak run defense and shaky pass rush.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. QB Mike Glennon will get another start, but QB Jake Fromm reportedly might mix in. It’s obviously a situation to avoid in fantasy lineups.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game vs. the Browns. Waller is "hopeful for a return soon," according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, so perhaps we'll see him back for Week 16. TE Foster Moreau gets another start on Saturday.

Raiders TE Darren Waller (knee, back) remained sidelined for Tuesday's practice. At this point, fantasy owners shouldn't be expecting him to play vs. the Browns on Saturday. We'll see if Waller is able to get on the practice field tomorrow.

Giants QB Daniel Jones (neck) is not expected to be cleared for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys, according to The Athletic's Dan Duggan. “Nothing is ruled out beyond that, so it is expected to remain a week-to-week evaluation,” Duggan added. QB Mike Glennon will get another start this weekend. He's completed just 50% of his passes and averaged a pathetic 4.7 yards per attempt over the past 2 weeks.

Giants HC Joe Judge said Sunday that QB Daniel Jones will visit a neck specialist on Monday and get another scan of the injury that has cost him the past 2 games, FOX's Shannon Spake reports. We'll see how much longer the strain will keep the Giants' starting QB out.

Washington S Landon Collins (foot) is active for today's game against the Cowboys.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Washington expects S Landon Collins (foot) to play against the Cowboys today, barring a setback in pregame. Collins missed Week 13 but should be ready for IDP lineups this week.

Washington S Landon Collins (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He missed last week's game with the injury but made it back for limited practices the past 2 days. We'll see about his status Sunday.
