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 […]

Sam Darnold Back, Adam Gase Will Call Plays

With New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold back at quarterback this week, the team will also see head coach Adam Gase take back over playcalling duties. It'll be interesting to see if Gase changes anything for the Jets. Considering his reputation as kryptonite to offensive players, we wouldn't be staking our fantasy hopes on Darnold […]

Sony Michel Is Active For Week 12

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel was apparently a healthy scratch in Week 11 after coming off the Injured Reserve, but he's active for Week 12 against the Panthers. This is likely just the result of Rex Burkhead (knee) being out, and Michel won't see much work. It's possible his return cuts a little […]

Adam Thielen, Irv Smith Jr. Out In Week 12

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (groin) and wide receiver Adam Thielen (COVID-19) are both out for Minnesota's Week 12 contest against the Carolina Panthers. The Vikings will have to rely more on rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson in this one, who's a low-end WR2 play. Tight end Kyle Rudolph has some streaming or […]

Giovani Bernard Will Play In Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (concussion) has been cleared to play against the Giants in Week 12 and is officially active. With Brandon Allen starting at quarterback, Bernard should see plenty of work, though Samaje Perine will likely siphon off some of his usage. Bernard's a low-end RB2 play this week.

Philip Rivers Active For Week 12

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. After missing practice time during the week, there was some concern for Rivers, but he'll be good to go. The Titans Defense has had some issues this season and Rivers already had a 300-yard game against them, so if you're […]

Gardner Minshew II Remains Inactive

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) will miss his fourth consecutive game on Sunday when the Jags face the Cleveland Browns. Mike Glennon will start while Jake Luton, who started the past three games, will back Glennon up. Minshew was struggling when healthy, but it's become clear that this passing offense barely functions with […]

Tua Tagovailoa Inactive For Week 12

As expected, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets and will potentially miss more time as well. Tagovailoa is 3-1 as a starter, but has struggled at times to move the ball. Ryan Fitzpatrick slides into the starting role this week and should upgrade this offense's fantasy upside […]

Julio Jones Inactive For Week 12

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is inactive for his team's Week 12 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jones was slowed down last week with the hamstring issue and ended up playing just 35 percent of Atlanta's snaps. Calvin Ridley (foot) won't be at 100 percent, but should see plenty of targets in […]

Kendall Hinton Officially Elevated To Active Roster

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton has officially been elevated to the team's active roster and is set to start at quarterback on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. A quarterback for part of his time at Wake Forest, Hinton isn't someone you should look to play at quarterback this week, but on platforms where […]

Each week we'll be analyzing every game from the Sunday slate, helping you optimize your fantasy lineups and take down your opponent. Be sure to check back […]

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.
