Kendall Hinton Will Likely See QB Work Over Royce Freeman

That's a weird headline, huh? The entire Denver Broncos quarterback unit is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Saints. There was speculation running back Royce Freeman would be the emergency quarterback, but it looks like it will be practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback at Wake […]

Tyler Boyd Should Be Safe From QB Change

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be the only pass-catcher in Cincy to not be too negatively impacted by the team's move to Brandon Allen at quarterback. Last year, Boyd managed to finish with 90 catches for 1,046 yards while playing with Andy Dalton and Ryan Finley at quarterback, so Boyd doesn't need Andy […]

Tee Higgins Could Struggle With Quarterback Change

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins has been playing some solid football, but he should see a downgrade in value as the team moves to Brandon Allen at quarterback with Joe Burrow (knee) out. We expect the Bengals to lean more on their veteran options this week, so even though Higgins has nine or […]

Expect Plenty Of James Robinson Carries In Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson continues to be one of the biggest workhorse backs in the NFL this season. He's seen 17 or more carries in four consecutive games, with at least 3.96 yards per carry and two targets in each of those. Volume alone makes Robinson a matchup-proof RB2 play every week.

Laviska Shenault Jr. Is Risky Week 12 Start

With D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) out, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could slide into the No. 1 receiver role on this team. But with Mike Glennon at quarterback, Shenault's upside is limited. Shenault hasn't played since Week 9, and while he was trending up at one point, that was with Gardner Minshew […]

Mike Glennon Is Not Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon will be starting against Cleveland in Week 12, but he shouldn't be starting in your fantasy football lineup. His top wide receiver, D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) is out, and Glennon hasn't started an NFL game since 2017, when he threw four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games. Glennon might […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is RB2 Option In Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire remains the team's top running back and should be in line for solid work against Tampa Bay in Week 12. It's a fairly tough matchup, but CEH has low-end RB2 value based on his upside. He scored twice last week, potentially suggesting that the rookie rusher is trending […]

Le'Veon Bell Is Middling Play

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell has struggled to make much of an impact since joining the team.Last week's seven carries were his most as a member of the Chiefs. Sure, he scored a touchdown, but Bell's been a low-volume guy since arriving in K.C., and at this point he's just a Clyde Edwards-Helaire […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Tight End Option

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been targeted 10-plus times in three consecutive games. He remains the No. 1 play at the tight end position this week despite a tougher matchup than usual against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With other top tight ends injured, Kelce is worth paying up for in DFS, as […]

Tyreek Hill Is On A Roll

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is playing his best football of the season right now and there's no reason to think that changes in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even if the Bucs have one of the best defenses that K.C. has faced this year. There has been one game this […]

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Have Greatest Week 12 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces a Tampa Bay defense that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this week. It's not the greatest matchup for Mahomes, but that doesn't matter a ton for fantasy managers. He has 348 or more yards in three consecutive appearances. He's a clear QB1 play every […]

Zack Martin Ruled Out For Rest Of Thanksgiving Game

Dallas Cowboys tackle Zack Martin (calf) left Thursday's game against Washington with what appeared to be a calf injury. He has been ruled out already for the remainder of the game. ESPN's Evan Kaplan points out that in the only full game Martin missed this year, Dallas scored three points and allowed six sacks. If […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 12

This wasn't a great week in terms of wide receivers coming out of nowhere to perform, but that's what happens at this point in the season. Positional rotations solidify. Teams in contention keep their best players out there more. Etc., etc., etc. But this week did see Dez Bryant back on an NFL field again […]

Aron Baynes Signing With Raptors

The Toronto Raptors are signing center Aron Baynes to a two-year, $14.3 million contract. Baynes will replace Marc Gasol, who departs for the Lakers. In Phoenix last season, the 6'10'' big man averaged 11.5 points and 5.6 rebounds per contest. He took a career-high four three-pointers per game, shooting 35.1 percent on them. He should […]

Raptors Re-Sign Chris Boucher

The Toronto Raptors have re-signed center Chris Boucher to a two-year, $13.5 million deal. With Serge Ibaka and Marc Gasol gone, Boucher will be expected to step into a larger role this season. In 62 games last year, Boucher averaged just 13.2 minutes per game, so take his 6.6 points and 4.5 boards per contest […]

Ed Davis Traded To Minnesota

The Minnesota Timberwolves have traded for big man Ed Davis, sending Omari Spellman and Jacob Evans to the Knicks. Davis reunites with former Nets teammate D'Angelo Russell. Davis is a hard-nosed player who'll provide useful defense and can set screens for the offense, but his projected role won't be on that's conducive to fantasy basketball […]

Randall Cobb Will Miss Time

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb suffered a toe injury on Sunday against the New England Patriots. While he's set to have tests on Monday to see how severe it is, the expectation appears to be that Cobb will miss multiple games. Keke Coutee saw four targets on Sunday and could wind up as the […]

Marc Gasol Signing With Lakers

Free agent center Marc Gasol is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Lakers. L.A. also traded away JaVale McGee on Sunday, paving the way for Gasol to start at the five for the Lakers. He's a huge addition to this team when it comes to real life, where he might make them the […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Leads Disappointing Jaguars Passing Day

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. caught a team-high four passes for a team-high 41 yards in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a disaster of a game for the Jacksonville passing game, with Chark and his eight targets being the closest thing to a bright spot that there was on a […]

Damien Harris Finds End Zone Early Against Houston

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris ran 11 times for 43 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. He added an 11-yard reception as well. There was concern with Sony Michel (quad) coming off IR that he would eat into Harris's touches, but Michel was made an […]

Cam Newton Tosses Over 300 Yards In Week 11

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton threw for 365 yards in a Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. Newton was 26-for-40 and threw one touchdown. He added six rushing yards as well. It was Newton's first 300-yard game since Week 2 and featured his fourth game in a row without an interception. Newton isn't […]

Marquise Brown Held Without Reception In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown finished behind Willie Snead IV and Dez Bryant in targets in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. Hollywood was targeted three times, but the second-year player failed to bring any of them in for a catch. In four games since the bye week, Brown has six total receptions for […]

Mark Ingram II Disappears In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II ran the ball just two times in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, finishing with two rushing yards. He played just six snaps. Ingram is third on the depth chart at running back now and is averaging one yard per carry in the past two weeks. It's time […]

Mark Andrews Comes Up Big In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews had his best yardage total of the 2020 season in Sunday's loss to the Titans, catching five passes for 96 yards and a touchdown. He was targeted seven times, tying him with Willie Snead IV for the team lead. Andrews has been fine this season, but hasn't been as […]

Gus Edwards Nonfactor In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed three times for six yards in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He was on the field for just 13 snaps. Maybe it was a one-game blip, or maybe J.K. Dobbins has assumed the lead running back role in Baltimore and isn't going to give it back. Don't […]

J.K. Dobbins Finds End Zone In Week 11

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins rushed 15 times for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. He also caught a pair of passes for 15 yards. Dobbins has received double-digit carries in three of the past four games now and has pretty clearly taken on the role as the […]

Tua Tagovailoa Confirmed As Starter

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores confirmed after Sunday's loss to the Broncos that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is the starter next week, even though he was benched on Sunday for Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tagovailoa hasn't put up consistently strong numbers in his brief time as an NFL starter but could be a solid streaming play against […]

Jalen Richard Inactive For Week 11

Las Vegas Raiders running back Jalen Richard (chest) is inactive for his team's Sunday night contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. Richard caught a season-high four passes the last time these teams played. He hasn't had a huge role this season, so his absence might be a slight boost to running back Josh Jacobs, but […]

T.J. Leaf Traded To Thunder

The Oklahoma City Thunder have acquired forward T.J. Leaf and a second round pick from the Indiana Fever for guard Jalen Lecque. While Lecque will likely struggle to find minute for the Pacers, Leaf could step into a fairly big role on a rebuilding Thunder team. Leaf has never averaged more than nine minutes per […]

Austin Rivers Signing With Knicks

Free agent guard Austin Rivers has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Knicks. Joining a team with a logjam at the guard spots is a strange move for a player who many expected would have a stronger market, though his veteran presence could be useful, and it's not like New York's abundance […]
