Deebo Samuel A WR3 Option If He Plays In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) appears to be trending towards making a return to action in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. His presence would be much-needed for the 49ers who will be without Brandon Aiyuk (COVID) in the game. Samuel has only played in four games this year. He earned […]

Jerick McKinnon A Risky Start In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers running back Jerick McKinnon has seen 30 carries over his last two games, but his workload is probably about to diminish significantly this week. The 49ers appear likely to have both Raheem Mostert (knee) and Tevin Coleman (knee) back in Week 12 as they face the Los Angeles Rams. Mostert figures to […]

Tevin Coleman Not Worth Starting In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman (knee) appears to be trending towards making his return to action in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. His timing is somewhat unfortunate as fellow running back Raheem Mostert (knee) appears on track to make his return this week as well. If both players are active for […]

Raheem Mostert A Strong RB2 If Active In Week 12

It appears likely that San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) will make his return to action in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams. Mostert suffered a knee injury in Week 6 and was placed on Injured Reserve shortly after. While he's been out, the team has struggled to find consistent production in […]

Nick Mullens Should Not Be Started In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is in a tough position going into Week 12. First off, he's facing a Los Angeles Rams Defense that has been one of the league's best against the pass. They've allowed just 200.6 passing yards per game this year, which ranks second in the league. Second, Mullens is going […]

Cardinals Defense A Risky Option In Week 12

The Cardinals Defense has a favorable matchup in Week 12. They face a New England Patriots team that's averaged just 20.9 points per game this year. The Cardinals have allowed at least 28 points in four straight games, but they've faced far more productive offenses over that stretch. Against weak offenses, the Cardinals Defense has […]

Andy Isabella A Deep League Dart Throw In Week 12

If you're in a tight spot going into Week 12, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella could be a decent dart-throw option for you. Isabella has been extremely quiet ever since his two-touchdown performance in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. However, this week the Cardinals will be without Larry Fitzgerald for the first time this […]

Christian Kirk A Solid WR2 In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has had two straight rough outings. He's caught just eight passes for 77 yards over the past two weeks. However, things look favorable for him going into Week 12 against the New England Patriots. The team will be without Larry Fitzgerald (COVID-19) for the game, which should mean more […]

DeAndre Hopkins Should Be Started As A WR1 In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has a bit of a challenge ahead against the New England Patriots in Week 12. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is widely known for his efforts to take team's No. 1 options away in games. This week, that will certainly mean Hopkins. Hopkins is coming off a disappointing showing […]

Chase Edmonds A Low-End Flex Play In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds only saw two carries in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he delivered in the passing game, catching four passes for 36 yards and a touchdown. Edmonds has amazingly caught all 17 of his targets over his past four games. Unfortunately, Kenyan Drake has been soaking up all […]

Start Kenyan Drake As An RB2 In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake had an interesting performance last week against the Seattle Seahawks. He carried the ball 11 times for 29 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 31 yards on five targets. His 2.6 yards per carry were disappointing, but the touchdown helped save his day. Meanwhile, his work […]

Start Kyler Murray With Confidence In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) has been limited in practice this week with a right shoulder injury. He is currently questionable for this Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, but the team seems optimistic that he'll be good to go. Murray had one of his weakest fantasy outputs of the year last time […]

Jalen Reagor (WR, PHI) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor has quietly been emerging as one of the team's top play-makers on offense. He's led all Eagles wide receivers in receiving yards in each of the past two games, catching four passes for 52 yards in […]

LaMelo Ball’s Fit With The Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets certainly don’t have an encouraging track record with top-10 draft picks. Since drafting Kemba Walker ninth overall in 2011 – the franchise’s clear best draft pick ever – the team went on to select Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2012, 2nd overall), Cody Zeller (2013, 4th overall), Noah Vonleh (2014, 9th overall) and Frank Kaminsky […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson has been a bit of an afterthought this year with rookie D'Andre Swift (head) and veteran Adrian Peterson both outproducing and outworking him. However, now could be the time to jump on Johnson on the waiver wire […]

Keelan Cole Sr. (WR, JAX) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole Sr. is second on the team in both receptions (36) and receiving yards (453), trailing only D.J. Chark Jr. in both categories. Cole has earned at last five targets in all but two games so far this […]

Rashard Higgins (WR, CLE) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins appears to be the most likely Browns receiver to benefit from the absence of Odell Beckham Jr. (ACL), who is out for the season after suffering an ACL tear in Week 7. In the game where the […]

Doug Pederson Remains Confident In Carson Wentz

Philadelphia Eagles starting quarterback Carson Wentz had a rough game in Week 11 against the Cleveland Browns. Wentz completed 21 of 35 passes for 235 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the game. He was also sacked five times. In an interview after the game, head coach Doug Pederson was asked if Wentz would […]

Salvon Ahmed Questionable To Return With Shoulder Injury

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) injured his shoulder in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He left the game and is questionable to return. If Ahmed misses a bulk of this week's game, or all of the game, Matt Breida would likely see a sizeable workload with Patrick […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Injury Doesn't Appear Serious

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) suffered an ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He limped off the field and was immediately looked at by trainers. After he was looked at, he appeared to be moving around fine, but didn't come back into the game. After the […]

Broncos Defense Loses Sylvester Williams To Injury

Denver Broncos defensive lineman Sylvester Williams (arm) was helped off the field by trainers in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Williams was holding his left arm as he was escorted off the field. Williams was cut by the Broncos about a month ago, then re-signed with the team shortly after. […]

Kalen Ballage Limps Off Field Early In The First

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (leg) limped off the field during the team's opening drive in Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Ballage had a four-yard run and a two-yard catch before appearing to injure his leg. Luckily, he returned to the field during the team's next drive. He should be the […]

Joe Burrow (leg) Likely Out For The Season

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (leg) suffered a rough leg injury after a sack in the second half of Sunday's game against the Washington Football Team. He was down on the ground for awhile and eventually carted off the field. He was ruled out shortly after the injury and while the game was still […]

Irv Smith Jr. Active In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (groin) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Smith has been dealing with a groin injury that forced him to miss the team's Week 10 game against the Chicago Bears. He logged limited practices through most of the past week, but has been widely expected […]

Jonnu Smith Returns To Sunday's Game

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) has returned to Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Smith injured his knee late in the third quarter and was deemed questionable to return. He eventually made his return midway through the fourth quarter of what's been a tight game between the Titans and Ravens. Smith has had […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Limps Off Field

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (leg) limped off the field early in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. His leg was briefly looked at by trainers. Afterwards, he kept his uniform and helmet on, which is a good sign that he'll be able to return to the game. The Steelers […]

Drew Lock Active For Week 11

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) is officially active and will make the start on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. Lock suffered a rib injury in last week's game against the Las Vegas Raiders and had been limited in practice most of the week. Lock should be avoided as a starting option in all fantasy […]

Noah Fant Officially Active In Week 11

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ribs) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Fant was a limited practice participant most of this past week before logging a full practice on Friday. He's received at least seven targets in three of his past four games and has 35 catches for 367 yards […]

Jonnu Smith Limps Off Field In The Third Quarter

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (leg) limped off the field on his own power late in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. He went to the sidelines where the trainers began looking at his lower leg. He should be considered questionable to return in what's been a tight game between […]

Lane Johnson Questionable To Return In Week 11

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns after suffering a shoulder injury. Johnson has had an injury-riddled year, as have many of his teammates on the offense. Johnson had made three straight Pro Bowls before this year and his presence on the line gives […]
