Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) didn't suit up for Monday's practice session. It's worth noting that this just an estimated practice report, so it doesn't mean too much. Dissly suffered a shoulder injury in Week 14 and was expected to miss a few weeks. That being said, it's not shocking to see him missing practice time. There's a good chance that Dissly sits out in Week 16 considering it's a short week, so he'd need to get ready to play by Thursday. Stone Smartt started in place of Dissly during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Smartt hauled in five of his six targets for 50 yards in the blowout loss. He could have some TE2 appeal for Week 16 if Dissly misses Thursday's game.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Herbert is dealing with an ankle issue, but was able to play through it during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He looked fine in the pocket, but the ankle issue clearly limited his running ability considering he had zero carries on Sunday. Nonetheless, Herbert figures to be fine for Thursday's Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Chargers might limit Herbert in order to keep him fresh, but he should be out there unless he suffers a setback.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into that because it basically means he didn't go through walkthrough. Johnston suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said, it wouldn't be shocking to see Johnston sit or be limited early in the week. However, the Chargers do have a short week with a matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. The absence of Johnston would mean more targets for Ladd McConkey and Joshua Palmer during Thursday's Week 16 contest.

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) had his ankle checked during the Week 15 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday but finished the game. "Joe came out fine, Joe will be fine," head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday. It's good news, but fantasy managers probably weren't fine with Mixon's final stat line in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues. The 28-year-old had 12 carries for only 23 yards but somewhat salvaged his final line by catching five of his six targets for an additional 33 yards. Mixon is still having a fine first year with the Texans -- he's the RB9 in half-PPR scoring -- but his two worst rushing performances have both come within the last three games. It could mean that he's tiring out down the stretch. Because of his involvement on both the ground and as a pass-catcher for Houston, he'll essentially remain a must-start in fantasy despite a tough Week 16 matchup against the Chiefs.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said on Monday that tests on quarterback Geno Smith's right knee came back positive. "Hopefully we'll see him practice throughout the week," Macdonald says. In addition to the team expecting Smith to practice this week, they are optimistic that he will take most of the snaps at practice. Smith was forced from Sunday night's loss to the Green Bay Packers with a knee injury in the third quarter and never returned, but at least as of right now, the Seahawks are expecting him to practice and play in Week 16 versus the Minnesota Vikings. We'll keep a close eye on Smith's status in practices this week, and if he ends up not being ready to play, Sam Howell would be in line for his first start of the year. Howell looked like a deer in headlights in relief, going 5-for-14 for 24 yards and an interception while taking four sacks.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) went through a good workout on Monday and is feeling good, but his status for the Week 16 contest against the Minnesota Vikings is up in the air, according to head coach Mike Macdonald. "We'll see on Wednesday," Macdonald said. Walker has missed each of the last two games, so he's going to need to get back on the practice field this week for the first time since Dec. 4. We'll have a better idea of his availability for next weekend once the Seahawks begin practicing on Wednesday. If the 24-year-old doesn't make much progress and misses a third straight game, Zach Charbonnet would see lead-back duties yet again and would essentially be a must-start in fantasy lineups after going for 30 carries, 188 yards and three rushing TDs the last two weeks with Walker out. Charb has also caught eight of 11 targets for 71 yards.

The Kansas City Chiefs released running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire on Monday. Edwards-Helaire's disappointing tenure in Kansas City officially comes to an end after he didn't play a single down for the team in 2024. The 25-year-old began the regular season on the Non-Football Illness list due to personal issues and was a healthy scratch in each of the team's last nine games. The Chiefs originally selected him as the 32nd overall pick in 2020 out of LSU, but CEH never lived up to his lofty draft stock in his four seasons with the team. In total, he had 441 rushing attempts for 1,845 yards (4.2 yards per carry) and 12 touchdowns while catching 89 passes for 765 yards and seven more TDs in 48 games (32 carries). Edwards-Helaire is still rather young and should latch on with another organization, but he's going to need to work his way up and prove that his head is in the right place.

Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. cleared waivers on Monday and is now officially a free agent. Beckham and the Dolphins mutually agreed to part ways late last week, and now the 32-year-old veteran pass-catcher is free to sign with any team he pleases. He reportedly already had several potential landing spots in mind, and although Beckham probably won't have any kind of significant role with another team down the stretch in 2024, he could find a new home relatively quickly. We'd expect OBJ to try and sign with a contender to provide veteran receiving depth going into the postseason in several weeks. The former 12th overall pick by the New York Giants in 2014 out of LSU has been on the decline for several years now and had only nine catches on 18 targets for 55 yards and no touchdowns in nine games with Miami before being waived.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder will start in a revenge game against his former team, the Atlanta Falcons, on Monday Night Football. Meanwhile, Aidan O'Connell (knee), who was listed as questionable with a bone bruise in his left knee, is officially inactive and will serve as the emergency third QB. O'Connell was initially feared to have suffered a season-ending knee injury when he was hurt in the Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it ended up being a bone bruise. If he recovers this week, O'Connell could be an option for the Raiders in Week 16 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it might also depend on how Ridder fares against Atlanta. The 25-year-old will be making his first start of the year after going 12-for-18 for 101 yards in relief of O'Connell in Week 14. With limited offensive weapons around him, we're expecting Ridder to struggle to move the ball consistently on Monday.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is officially active for the Monday night game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings in Week 15 after he was listed as questionable coming into the contest. Swift missed practice on Thursday and Friday before returning to a limited session on Saturday. Roschon Johnson (concussion) is missing another game, so the 25-year-old Swift should handle lead-back duties for the Bears with Travis Homer and Darrynton Evans picking up the scraps left behind. Any fantasy managers that were brave enough to risk keeping Swift in their starting lineups will be starting him this evening. They'll be hoping for a much better performance than the last time he faced Minnesota on Nov. 24, when he had 13 carries for only 30 yards while catching three passes for 35 yards in an overtime loss. Swift will be an RB3/flex that could struggle if the Bears abandon the run.
