Fantasy Injury Updates Latest news on Travis Kelce Tyreek Hill Adam Thielen more impacting Week 16 start em sit em call

We've already seen couple of key pa s-catchers ruled out for Week 16 after being placed on the reserve/COVID list (Gabriel Davis, Cole Beasley), and injuries have claimed a couple, too (Mike Evans, Jamison Crowder). Heading into Sunday, the status of at least Trey Mancini Jersey one key guyon the reserve/COVID list is still up in the air -- namely, Travis Kelce -- but after teammate Tyreek Hill was cleared on Saturday, there's still hope for Kelce. Meanwhile guys like Adam Thielen and D.J. Moore are "questionable" because of various ailments. Regardle s of the reason, fantasy football owners need to know the latest updates on these pa s-catchers before locking in their final start 'em, sit 'em decisions, which is why we'll be providing the latest news below throughout the day on Sunday.For all the latest fantasy news, follow us on Twitter .WEEK 16 FANTASY: | | UPDATE:Kelce is officially OUT for Week 16.ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Saturday afternoon that Kelce still "" to return from the reserve/COVID list in time for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh. Kelce will reportedly take "multiple" COVID tests by Sunday afternoon, and the Chiefs "" as to whether Kelce can clear protocol and return. Fortunately, that means we should have an answer before the early games kick off even though Kansas City plays in the late-afternoon window.Chiefs coach Andy Reid and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy bothsaid earlier this week that Kelce would play if he's activated, with Bienienemy stating that Kelce has been "." Obviously, Kelce could be a bit behind, especially if he was truly sick, but as long as he's active and playing, he remains a must-start. If we haven't heard by the 1 p.m. ET kickoffs whether Kelce is active, a sume he won't be and pivot to someone like C.J. Uzomah or Cole Kmet. Chiefs backups Blake Bell and Noah Gray have some sneaky upside, but neither can be trusted in the fantasy semifinals.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Hill was on Saturday afternoon, and like Kelce, he had been involved in virtual meetings with the team all week. It would seem likely he'll play with no limitationsand is thus safe to put in fantasy lineups.Hill might be a bit out of sync with Patrick Mahomes and the offense, especially if he dealt with any notable symptoms, but given the importance of this game for both the Chiefs and fantasy football owners, you can't hold back on an explosive playmaker like Hill. The Steelers pa s defense has proven vulnerable virtually all season, so even though Hill has been a bit more inconsistent than usual this year, he's still a must-start in all formats.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | UPDATE:ESPN's Adam Schefter reported late Saturday night that Thielen is against the Rams.UPDATE 2:Thielen is officially ACTIVE.Thielen (ankle) after being a game-time decision for Monday night's game in Chicago. He seems much more likely to suit up this time around against the Rams.If Thielen plays, he probably won't be 100 percent, but he should see close to a typical amount of snaps. The Rams are fairly middle of the road against fantasy WRs, and if Jalen Ramsey is shadowing Justin Jefferson, that could actually lead to more work for Thielen. Either way, he's a somewhat risky WR3. Don't force him into your lineups, but don't avoid him at all costs either. If he's out again, K.J. Osborn would start and draw some interest as a boom-or-bust flex.WEEK 16 DFS LINEUPS: | | UPDATE:NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning that Moore is against the Buccaneers.UPDATE 2:Moore is officially ACTIVE.Moore (ankle) , putting him on track to suit up against Tampa Bay.MORE WEEK 16 DFS: | By no means is Moore a sure thing, as the Panthers are out of serious playoff contention, but he played through the injury last week and saw double-digit targets for the third game in a row. Given his high-volume role and the favorable matchup, Moore remains a solid WR2 in PPR and WR3 in standard despite the risks that come with a hamstring injury. Michael Arias Jersey
