Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Start In Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is officially active for the Week 13 contest against the Bengals. He's expected to be the starter over Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tua's the future in Miami, but this offense does play better with Fitzpatrick under center. His return lowers the fantasy ceiling for the Miami pass catchers, and even in […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II Officially Active

The Atlanta Falcons will be close to full strength on Sunday against the Saints, with wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) both officially active. Both players missed Week 12. The Saints Defense is a tough one for the Falcons to deal with, and while Julio Jones has the talent […]

Mark Andrews Not Expected To Play Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (COVID-19) is not expected to play on Tuesday against the Cowboys. Andrews would have possibly been eligible to come off the COVID list on Tuesday, but it looks like that won't happen, pushing his return back to Week 14. Luke Willson will see plenty of time at tight end, […]

Panthers Have Two Positive COVID Tests

Two Carolina Panthers players have tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday morning, but because the team is on a Week 13 bye, the positives should not impact any games this week. It's also too early to speculate if this puts Carolina's Week 14 game against the Broncos in jeopardy, though it'll be important to monitor […]

Saints May Wait Until Chiefs Game To Play Drew Brees

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs) is progressing well in his attempt to return and could be activated off the IR soon, but Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that the team may wait until their Week 15 contest against the Chiefs to bring Brees back. The extra time could help ensure the […]

Ben Roethlisberger Expected To Play Against Washington

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) is expected to play Monday against the Washington Football Team as the Steelers look to remain undefeated. It appears that Roethlisberger's practice absences this week were more about getting the veteran QB some rest than about him potentially missing a week of action. Washington isn't a great matchup for […]

Isaiah Coulter Has DFS Sleeper Appeal

While the matchup isn't great against the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans wide receiver Isaiah Coulter has appeal in some formats this week under the assumption that he'll take over as the team's second outside receiver now that Will Fuller V is suspended. Coulter -- who had been on the IR with a neck injury -- […]

Mark Andrews Is Strong Play If Active

We still don't know the status of Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews for Tuesday's contest against the Dallas Cowboys, as he remains on the COVID list. It's possible if Andrews will be able to play Tuesday if he was asymptomatic and is cleared to return, though if he showed COVID symptoms, the return window […]

Marquise Brown Finally Looking Up?

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown had gone through weeks of struggle heading into Week 12's meeting with the Steelers, averaging 1.5 catch for 13.8 yards per game over a four game stretch. Yikes. But with backup quarterbacks playing, Brown finally looked like the player he was drafted to be, catching four passes for 85 […]

Gus Edwards Is Trending Down

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards got a crack at the lead back role in Week 12 with J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II on the COVID list. He responded with 10 yards on nine carries, though he did find the end zone once. Edwards has finished with two yards per carry or fewer in […]

J.K. Dobbins Should Lead Ravens Backfield

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back J.K. Dobbins is off the COVID list and should be active on Tuesday when the Ravens face the Dallas Cowboys. Considering Dobbins worked as the lead back the last time he was on the field and Gus Edwards had just 10 rushing yards in Dobbins's place against the Steelers Wednesday, […]

Lamar Jackson Will Be Solid QB1 If He Plays

While his status for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Cowboys remains up in the air due to his placement on the COVID-19 list, Lamar Jackson could theoretically be activated and ready to go based on the timeline of when he was placed on the list. Jackson hasn't had the same kind of numbers and success […]

Preston Williams Not Guaranteed To Play Again In 2020

Already on the Injured Reserve, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams (foot) might not be back on the field this season, with ESPN's Cameron Wolfe suggesting the injury may keep him out the rest of 2020. Williams could very well return for the final couple of games of the year, but by that point, fantasy […]

Lions Plan To Waive Marvin Hall

The Detroit Lions plan to waive wide receiver Marvin Hall, opening up chances for younger players like Quintez Cephus to see time at receiver over the rest of the season. Outside of the injured Kenny Golladay, Detroit hasn't had much youth at wide receiver lately, so this will give them the chance to see if […]

Fantasy Impact: Making Sense Of The New-Look 76ers

The 2020-21 Philadelphia 76ers are going to look a lot different than the team that they were last season. Gone are Al Horford and Josh Richardson, the two big additions last offseason. New faces in Philly include Danny Green, Seth Curry, Dwight Howard, and rookie Tyrese Maxey. But as of now, two key things remain […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 13

Another week of NFL football is in the books, mostly, though there is (maybe) a game on Tuesday this week. The wide receiver-centric recap of Week 12 goes like this: Tyreek Hill TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK HILL TYREEK […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Active For Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) will play against Chicago on Sunday night. Valdes-Scantling injured himself in practice and it looked unlikely he'd be ready to go, but he'll be toughing it out. With Allen Lazard back and likely taking on a bigger role this week, MVS is just a WR4 play against […]

Willie Snead IV Tests Positive For COVID-19

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead IV has tested positive for COVID-19. This makes seven offensive starters for Baltimore on the COVID list and marks eight consecutive days with a positive test. Getting through Sunday with no positives would have been huge in guaranteeing that Tuesday's Ravens/Steelers game happens as scheduled. This positive introduces even […]

Phillip Lindsay Out For Rest Of Week 12

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints. Lindsay ends the day with nine carries for 20 yards on a weird day where the Broncos were without a starting quarterback and used Lindsay in the wildcat some. Hopefully he's good to go next week, but if Lindsay's knee […]

Janoris Jenkins Questionable To Return Against Broncos

New Orleans Saints cornerback Janoris Jenkins (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Broncos. The veteran defender has two interceptions and nine passes defender this year so far, as well as 37 tackles. If he misses time, the Saints Defense would take a slight hit in value, though aside from a Week […]

Jaguars Say Doug Marrone's Job Secure Rest Of Season

The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired general manager Dave Caldwell, but team owner Doug Marrone was reportedly told that he and his staff's jobs are secure for the rest of the 2020 season. Of course, that doesn't mean Marrone will keep his job going into next year, especially with the Jaguars poised to draft a quarterback […]

Jaguars Fire GM Dave Caldwell

The Jacksonville Jaguars have reportedly fired general manager Dave Caldwell. Caldwell has been the GM for the Jags since 2013 and at one point had built a strong defense, but Caldwell's failure to find a franchise quarterback has loomed over the team. Someone else will have the task of finding the team's future passer in […]

Anthony Castonzo Avoided Major Injury

Despite exiting Sunday's game against Tennessee with a knee injury, it appears Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo only suffered an MCL sprain, not a serious knee injury. Even if Castonzo misses a little time, he'll be back this season to provide some key pass blocking for quarterback Philip Rivers. If he misses some time, […]

Colt McCoy In For Injured Daniel Jones

New York Giants backup quarterback Colt McCoy is currently in for the injured Daniel Jones. It looked likes Jones is dealing with a hamstring injury, putting his return to the game in question. Jones is 16-for-26 for 211 yards so far. If he's unable to return, McCoy's likely to hurt the prospects of the rest […]

Dalvin Cook To Medical Tent

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has gone to the medical tent with an apparent leg injury after a third-quarter fumble. One of the NFL's top running backs, if Cook ends up missing time, backup running Alexander Mattison will see an increase in fantasy value, becoming a potential RB2 play. This is situation to keep […]

Colts Tackle Anthony Castonzo Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of his team's Week 12 contest against the Titans. It's a big loss for this Colts offense, which will now have more trouble keeping quarterback Philip Rivers upright. If Castonzo misses time, drop Colts offensive players a few spots in your […]

Olamide Zaccheaus Questionable To Return

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He has one catch for 11 yards. With Julio Jones out as well, Russell Gage would benefit if Zaccheaus can't return.

Malcolm Perry Questionable To Return

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malcolm Perry (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Perry set career highs in targets (five), catches (three) and yards (23) last week, but hasn't been much of a factor in this offense this season, so his absence from this game shouldn't change much in […]

Tyler Kroft Inactive In Week 12

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft appears to be a healthy scratch for Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Chargers. Dawson Knox will see most of the tight end work against a Chargers Defense that can definitely be exploited, making Knox an intriguing TE2 streamer. Knox hasn't had more than two catches in a game […]

Hayden Hurst Active For Week 12

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders. With Julio Jones (hamstring) out, there could be some increased work for Hurst this week. Before last week's zero catch performance against the Saints, Hurst had seen seven targets or more in three consecutive games, so there should be a […]
