Ezekiel Elliott Vows Not To Shut Down For Rest Of 2020

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) was ultimately held out of Sunday's win over San Francisco, although his inactive status did not come down until shortly before kickoff. After the game, Elliott explained that he felt a "tug" in his calf, which he felt would have limited his explosiveness. Afterward, he quickly shot down […]

Colt McCoy Will Start Sunday; Daniel Jones Ruled Inactive

New York Giants quarterback Colt McCoy will officially be the starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus Cleveland after the organization decided to rule Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) inactive for the contest. McCoy, a former Brown, is making his second start of the year, but can firmly be avoided in all fantasy scenarios aside from contrarian […]

Denzel Ward Gets Green Light To Suit Up Sunday

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) has been given the thumbs up to play in Sunday's contest versus the Giants after having been sidelined for the previous three games. Ward's return is a massive addition for fantasy managers eyeing the Browns Defense, as Ward has served as Cleveland's top corner this year, having defended a […]

Carlos Hyde Rips Off 50-Yard Rushing TD In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde may have received just two carries during Sunday's win over Washington, but he ripped one of those off for a 50-yard dash that ended with his first touchdown since Week 11. While the rushing score was a boon for those who got extremely aggressive and rostered Hyde, his limited […]

Keelan Cole Sr. Returns To Being Kept Under Wraps In Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole Sr. was held to two receptions (on two targets) for 22 yards during Sunday's loss to the Ravens, a crash landing back to reality after his sterling performance in Week 14. A full contest of Gardner Minshew II under center did not provide the remedy for Cole's fantasy intrigue, […]

Jonnu Smith Ties For Team-High With Five Receptions In Week 15

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith hauled in five receptions for 52 yards during Sunday's win over Detroit, tying for the team-high in catches with A.J. Brown.

Richard Rodgers Ruled Out For Remainder Of Sunday’s Game

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Richard Rodgers (shin) will miss the remainder of Sunday's contest versus the Cardinals due to a shin injury that he sustained earlier in the game.

Adrian Peterson Cannot Find End Zone During Week 15

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson was held to just 23 rushing yards on six carries during Sunday's loss to the Titans. It appeared that Peterson could begin to carve out goal line opportunities after D'Andre Swift fumbled from the one-yard line early, but Peterson stumbled on what would have been a sure score in […]

Stephon Gilmore Appears To Have Avoided Serious Injury

There is optimism that New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (leg) is not as injured as it first appeared during Sunday's game versus Miami when he needed to be helped off the field.

Washington Reaffirms Alex Smith As Starting QB When Healthy

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera may have allowed Dwayne Haskins Jr. to attempt 55 passes in Sunday's loss to Seattle, but Alex Smith (leg) remains the starter for Washington when healthy, per Rivera. The decision was rather succinct too, as Rivera said, "if [Smith is] healthy and ready to roll, he'll start." The […]

DeeJay Dallas Sustains Sprained Ankle During Sunday’s Win

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) appears to have caught a break after exiting Sunday's victory over Washington with an air cast on his ankle.

Houston Signs Chad Hansen To Active Roster

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen has officially been elevated to the active roster for Sunday's game versus Indianapolis, a surefire move after his recent emergence as a favored target for Deshaun Watson. Having spent time on the team's practice squad, Houston had to make a roster decision about Hansen, who has seen seven targets […]

Stefon Diggs Sustains Foot Injury During Saturday’s Game

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (foot) was taken to the locker room late in Saturday's contest versus Denver due to a foot ailment. With the game firmly in hand and Diggs not appearing to have sustained an obvious injury, fantasy managers can choose to be optimistic in the short-term that the move is merely […]

Kalif Raymond Lands On COVID-19 List; Out For Sunday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver/returner Kalif Raymond (COVID-19 list) will miss Sunday's contest versus Detroit after having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list Saturday.

Bears Defense Enters Sunday Without Jaylon Johnson, Deon Bush

Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and safety Deon Bush (foot) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against Minnesota. Johnson has been a staple of the Bears Defense as a rookie, having been removed from last week's contest due to a shoulder ailment. The team will likely rely on Kindle Vildor in an expanded […]

Sam Ficken Gets Activated Off Of Injured Reserve Saturday

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken (groin) has been activated off of injured reserve, paving the way for him to potentially serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Rams.

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin (COVID-19 list) have been given the green light to take the field Sunday against Jacksonville after having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list earlier in the week.

Christian McCaffrey Officially Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) has been officially ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Packers, extending his latest absence to five games.

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) has not been cleared to return off of injured reserve in time to suit up Sunday against Miami. While it was previously believed that Edelman could miss the remainder of the 2020 year after undergoing knee surgery, the door is at least open for a possible return […]

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) and wide receiver Donte Moncrief (thigh) have both been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Miami. The New England backfield continues to take its brunt of injury woes with Sony Michel now in line to lead the group against a stout Dolphins Defense in Week 15. Moncrief's […]

Duke Johnson, C.J. Prosise Ruled Out For Sunday’s Contest

Houston Texans running backs Duke Johnson (neck) and C.J. Prosise (ankle) will both be absent from Sunday's game versus the Colts. Their absence leaves the Houston backfield extremely thin, but also paves the way for David Johnson to serve as the unabated bell cow. While Duke Johnson has retained a modest role even with David […]

Kansas City Activates Byron Pringle Off Injured Reserve

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver/kick returner Byron Pringle (ankle) has been activated off of injured reserve, which paves the way for a potential return to action as soon as Sunday versus the Saints.

Melvin Gordon III, Phillip Lindsay Cleared For Saturday’s Game

Denver Broncos running backs Melvin Gordon III (shoulder) and Phillip Lindsay (hip) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's contest against Buffalo.

Matthew Stafford Plans To Play Sunday Despite Rib Injury

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) is preparing to take the field Sunday against Tennessee despite injuries to his ribs that many believed would keep him sidelined. Stafford has already played through what has been reported as a serious thumb injury on his throwing hand, so to say that he's at less than 100 percent […]

Sammy Watkins Carries Contrarian DFS Appeal Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins faces a daunting matchup Sunday against a stout Saints secondary. With that in mind, his low DFS price tag gives him some terrific upside, which exists perpetually with Patrick Mahomes under center. While Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce will likely continue to see a favorable number of targets […]

Darius Slay Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Arizona, as he has not yet passed the league's concussion protocol.
