Mark Andrews Still A Must-Start In Week 14
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews may not be having the same type of outstanding year he had last season, but he's still one of the most reliable options at tight end. Since he came back from injury in Week 11, he's rattled off three weeks in the top 11 at his position. His yardage […]

Ravens Defense A Must-Start Against Steelers
The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has only posted a game with five or fewer fantasy points four times this season. In Week 14, they take on Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers that are ranked 24th in terms of fantasy points given up to opposing defenses. Pickett has protected the ball a little more lately, […]

Justin Tucker A Must-Start Again In Week 14
Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker remains a must-start every single time he takes the field. There hasn't been a single game this season that he's failed to at least make one field goal. On top of that, he's only missed three out of his 28 attempts and one of those was a 67-yard desperation kick […]

Devin Duvernay A Risky Play Versus Pittsburgh
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay played in 94% of the offensive snaps last week and still finished as the WR47. In Week 14, with a backup quarterback in the mix, Duvernay will be hard to trust. He's been a boom-or-bust type of option all year but hasn't entered the top 25 since Week 8. […]

Gus Edwards A Flex Option In Week 14
Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards had a rough go of it against the Denver Broncos in Week 13, but he still looks to be a flex option against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was out carried by his backfield mate Kenyan Drake last week, and he only was able to put up a weak 12 […]

Kenyan Drake Not A Reliable Start In Week 14
Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake has quickly faded away into fantasy obscurity ever since Gus Edwards returned. While he did gain more yardage than Edwards in Week 13, he'll likely see his role diminish as both Edwards and J.K. Dobbins get healthier. On top of that, with Tyler Huntley in the fold, there will […]

LeBron James Probable To Play On Friday
Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is likely to give it a go against the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. He's been experiencing some ankle soreness, but he's also been on the injury report more than he hasn't so far this season. Fantasy managers will just need to keep tabs on the injury reports […]

Anthony Davis Likely To Suit Up Against 76ers
Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (illness) was forced to leave the team's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to flu-like symptoms.

Yuta Watanabe Still Sidelined Against Hawks
Brooklyn Nets forward Yuta Watanabe (hamstring) will be sidelined for yet another game as he's still nursing a strained right hamstring.

De'Andre Hunter Questionable To Make Return On Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (hip) has been given the questionable tag on Friday morning for the contest against the Brooklyn Nets.

Will Barton Questionable Against Pacers On Friday
Washington Wizards guard Will Barton (foot) is in doubt for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers as he deals with left foot soreness. The injury itself doesn't seem too serious, but plenty of teams seem to err on the cautious side when playing against this rebuilding Pacers team. If the 31-year-old can't play, this would […]

Myles Turner Uncertain For Friday's Game
Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable. He's dealing with right hamstring soreness at the moment. He was able to play the full game on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves so it seems to be some lingering pain that might be going on. If he's unable to play, Jalen Smith will […]

Isaiah Jackson Questionable With Knee Soreness
Indiana Pacers forward Isaiah Jackson (knee) officially received the questionable tag on the injury report due to right knee soreness. He's only missed one game so far this season, so he's been able to play through any bumps and bruises that he's experienced so far. He hasn't exactly taken the jump that a lot of […]

Leonard Fournette Dealing With Foot Injury
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (foot) was added to the Week 14 injury report while putting in a limited practice on Thursday. It's a new injury for Fournette and is something to keep an eye on. In Week 13, the 27-year-old ended up with one more touch than backfield mate Rachaad White. He […]

Josh Jacobs Returns To Game On Thursday Night
Updating a previous report, Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (hand) left the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams for part of the third quarter to deal with a hand injury.

Ryan Tannehill Practices In Full On Thursday
Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) seems to be proven correct when he said that both of his ankles are alright on Wednesday. He was upgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a full participant on Thursday. Unless he gets a downgrade on Friday, then he should be good to go for Week 14's […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited In Practice
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. So far, this week is going as expected since the team was counting on him to be limited early on. He suffered an ankle injury against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, but it shouldn't be one that keeps him […]

Domantas Sabonis Puts Up Strong Stat Line Against Bucks
Sacramento Kings forward Domantas Sabonis was just three assists shy of his 20th career triple-double. This game could have also been his second triple-double in a row, but the strong stat line didn't matter in the end since the team still suffered a 13-point loss.
