Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) practiced in full on Thursday ahead of Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. This was an upgraded status for Otton after he was limited on Wednesday. The 26-year-old missed last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but barring a setback, he will return to action this upcoming Sunday. It's been an underwhelming year for Otton, who ranks as the overall TE26 in PPR leagues with 46 catches, 430 yards, and zero touchdowns. He typically struggles when Mike Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. are healthy, which should be the case this week. As a result, managers can bench Otton in their Week 16 matchups. He currently ranks as the TE24 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson (back) practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday ahead of Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jefferson's status improved after he missed practice altogether on Wednesday. The veteran receiver played at least 73% of the snaps in every game from Week 6 through Week 14, but his snap share dropped to 58% when he injured his back in Week 15. In nine games since Week 6, Jefferson has 43 targets, 20 catches, 256 yards, and one touchdown. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR71 in PPR leagues. Even if he manages to suit up this week, Jefferson won't be a worthwhile fantasy option while operating behind Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor in the Titans' struggling offense.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tre' Harris (hip) remained limited during practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday. The rookie is coming off an impressive showing against the Kansas City Chiefs in which he played a career-high 85% of the snaps, leading to five targets, three catches, and 49 receiving yards. Harris' increased workload was the direct result of Quentin Johnston (groin) being inactive, and he could see similar opportunities against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16, depending on whether Johnston suits up. Johnston has mirrored Harris' availability so far this week, practicing in a limited capacity on Wednesday and Thursday. Harris has long-term WR2 or WR3 upside in dynasty leagues, but he remains tougher to trust in Week 16 lineups if Johnston, Allen, and Ladd McConkey are all active. On the other hand, if Johnston is inactive, Harris could be a WR3/flex in deeper leagues.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (back) was limited in practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday. Nailor picked up the injury during last Sunday's Week 15 win over the Dallas Cowboys. As a result, his status remains uncertain for the Vikings' upcoming contest against the New York Giants on Sunday in Week 16. The 26-year-old is having a solid season as Minnesota's No. 3 receiver, catching 26 passes for 395 yards and four touchdowns. He has 10 touchdowns over his last 31 games dating back to the 2024 campaign. As long as Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are healthy, though, Nailor should not be viewed as a reliable fantasy starter. He ranks outside the top 50 fantasy receivers for Week 16, if he suits up.
