When Will Dawson Knox Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The Dalton Kincaid breakout stretch has been a treat for fantasy football managers but it could come crashing down when Dawson Knox returns.

Dolphins Sign Offensive Tackle Austin Jackson To Extension

The Miami Dolphins and right tackle Austin Jackson have agreed to a three-year, $36 million contract extension. It includes $20 million in guarantees and a max value of $39 million. Jackson, a first-round pick in 2020, protects the blindside for left-handed quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. He's appeared in every game this season and allowed just two […]

Joshua Kelley To See More Touches In Week 14?

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley, frustrated by the lack of production in the running game, noted Wednesday that "competition for carries is going to be something that you can see happening." Starter Austin Ekeler has lacked explosiveness since returning from his ankle injury, and age may be catching up to him. He's averaging […]

Najee Harris Expected To Suit Up Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) appears to be ready to play against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The leader of the Pittsburgh backfield did not practice during the short week and is officially listed as questionable. Pelissero added that this is not a new […]

When Will Dalton Schultz Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The Houston Texans agreed to a one-year "prove it" deal with Dalton Schultz. Fantasy managers, similarly, weren't as sold on the former Cowboy, and wanted him to prove that he could put up numbers in a new offense before he was worthy of a roster spot. Prove it, he did. From Weeks 4 through 11 […]

Is Justin Jefferson Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Bust out the Griddy in your living room. Justin Jefferson is back! The near-consensus WR1 in fantasy football this summer will return this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders after an extensive stint on injured reserve with a hamstring ailment. Although a lot has changed in Minnesota since number 18 went down, chances of him […]

Justin Watson Not Targeted On Sunday Night Football

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson was not targeted at all in the team's 27-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. In recent weeks, the 27-year-old seemed to be carving out a role in this offense that's devoid of strong wide receivers. He scored in each of the last two games […]

Jahan Dotson Disappears Against Miami

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson caught two of his five targets for 23 yards in the team's 45-15 blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The Commanders, unsurprisingly, fell behind quickly to one of the best offenses in the league. Instead of throwing to try and catch up, Ron Rivera stayed committed to the running […]

George Kittle Logs Double-Digit PPR Points Against Philadelphia

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle secured four of his six targets for 68 yards in the team's blowout victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Even though he was able to reach double-digit PPR points, the former All-Pro was the San Francisco weapon left out of the fun. Deebo Samuel scored three times, Brandon Aiyuk […]

Tyrod Taylor Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) is being designated to return from injured reserve. His practice window is open and the Giants will have 21 days to activate him for a game. Undrafted rookie quarterback Tommy Devito has led New York to two straight victories (albeit over Washington and New England), so the team […]

Josh Downs Disappoints In Overtime Victory

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs caught three passes for 14 yards in the team's 31-28 overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. The rookie saw just five targets on the day and fell behind Alec Pierce (six targets, three catches for 100 yards) on the afternoon. Michael Pittman Jr. led the way in the Indianapolis […]

Derrick Henry Enters NFL's Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (concussion) is officially in the league's concussion protocol after departing Sunday's game against the Colts with symptoms. The former All-Pro back rushed 21 times for 102 yards and two touchdowns and caught one pass for 18 yards before exiting in the fourth quarter. The concussion puts his status in […]

Kenny Pickett To Avoid Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) will not be placed on injured reserve, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. He's expected to undergo surgery today and the recovery timeline for his high-ankle issue is 2-4 weeks. Pittsburgh, despite the upset loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, remains in the thick of the AFC playoff race. […]

Jaylen Waddle - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR1 ANALYSIS: Jaylen Waddle is starting to sizzle. The former first-round pick has either a touchdown or 100 receiving yards in over half of his past seven games. He's only dipped below 10 PPR fantasy points twice in that stretch. He also dropped 114 yards on the […]

Week 13 Fantasy Busts? Players Who May Disappoint Include Kyler Murray, Breece Hall, D'Andre Swift, Drake London

Dodging busts with a full 16-game slate can be easy. With six teams on bye, it's a little bit more difficult. The Bills, Ravens, Vikings, Bears, Raiders, and Giants all get their week off this Sunday. It couldn't have come at a worse time with the fantasy playoffs for the majority of leagues just two […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 13) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pickem Contests

"Bye-nado: The Sequel". Coming this Sunday to your TV. For the second time this season, six teams are taking a mini-vacation.

Rachaad White - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB1 ANALYSIS: The NFL schedule makers were not kind to Rachaad White. So far this season, he's matched up against the best, second-best, third-best, fourth-best, and sixth-best defenses in terms of half-PPR fantasy points to opposing running backs. That list doesn't include the Chicago Bears, who currently […]

Aaron Rodgers (QB, NYJ) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Wait and See, Likely Avoid ROSTERED IN: 25% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Maybe it's my pessimism showing after an entire season of writing busts columns for RotoBaller, but Aaron Rodgers claiming that he's going to return this season from a torn Achilles seems like nothing but a charade. The Jets opened the future of […]

When Will Michael Wilson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson received all the positive buzz in the offseason and training camp. The popular belief was that once Kyler Murray returned from his ACL injury, Wilson would be a legitimate option for fantasy football managers opposite Marquise Brown. Don't tell the universe your plans. Just one game after Murray found his […]

When Will Salvon Ahmed Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Salvon Ahmed is the latest victim of the injury roulette in the Miami backfield. Coincidentally, injuries are what gave Ahmed opportunities on offense to begin with. Jeff Wilson Jr. and De'Von Achane have both missed games with ailments, allowing Ahmed to be the RB2 in some instances behind Raheem Mostert. The 24-year-old is the fourth […]

Is Quentin Johnston Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

In a large majority of cases, injury designations are black and white. Either you're injured or you're not. This is not one of those cases. It is a fact that Quentin Johnston departed Sunday night's game with a rib injury, went into the blue medical tent, and then did not return to the game. Following […]

Is Chris Olave Injured or Healthy - Fantasy Football Injury Update

Injuries are always unfortunate for fantasy football. It's even more of a knife in the chest when the player who goes down is on pace for one of the best performances of the season. New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave ran 22 routes in roughly one half. He secured seven of his nine targets […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Posts Mediocre Stat Line Against New England

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson secured four of his five targets for 26 yards in the team's 10-7 victory over the New England Patriots. All those marks were second-best for New York, behind rookie Jalin Hyatt. For the second time all season, Robinson's snap percentage topped 75 percent, but the production didn't reflect […]

Panthers Fire Head Coach Frank Reich

The Carolina Panthers have let go of coach Frank Reich following the team's loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. The Panthers recorded 10 losses and one win in Reich's short tenure with the team. The defense ranked third-worst in points allowed. On the offensive side of the ball, Carolina is only one spot better. […]

Greg Dortch Scores Late Touchdown Versus Los Angeles

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch secured just three of his nine targets for 27 yards but scored a touchdown in the team's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when the game was already decided. Dortch has played 75% of the snaps in each of the […]

Devin Singletary Efficient In Passing Game Against Jacksonville

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary saw his rushing opportunities take a hit with the return of Dameon Pierce but was efficient enough with his receptions to not burn fantasy managers. Singletary converted six carries into 18 yards and six catches into 54. Pierce, the starter before his ankle injury, was given just six total […]

Dalton Schultz Held To One Catch Against Jacksonville

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz registered just one catch for two yards in the team's 24-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The stat line is especially disappointing since quarterback C.J. Stroud threw for over 300 yards once again. The 27-year-old has just three catches over the last two weeks. With the return of fellow […]

Shaquille Leonard Expected To Meet With Dallas

Free-agent linebacker Shaquille Leonard is expected to meet with the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 28-year-old was released by Indianapolis earlier this month after logging 65 tackles in nine games. The Cowboys already boast one of the best defensive units in football but have been without linebacker Leighton Vander […]

Dallas Goedert Pushing To Return In Week 13

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) is pushing to play Sunday when the Eagles host the San Francisco 49ers. The tight end has missed two games with a fractured forearm, but a bye week mixed in has given him extra time to recover. If he's not able to make it back against San Francisco, […]

Isaiah Hodgins Catches Lone Touchdown For New York In Week 12

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins caught just one pass for 12 yards against New England, but he found the end zone on his lone reception. In fact, that was the veteran's only target on Sunday afternoon. Quarterback Tommy Devito completed 17 passes and Hodgins was one of six Giants to secure just one […]
