James Harden Not At Houston's First Practice

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was not present at the team's first practice, though head coach Stephen Silas says Harden will take place in an individual workout tonight. With trade rumors swirling around the former MVP, anything like this is going to raise some eyes, though Houston has seemed committed to beginning the season with […]

Daniel Jones Officially Inactive For Week 13

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Jones was doubtful ahead of the game, so fantasy managers should have already been preparing for Colt McCoy to get the start against a Seahawks Defense that has struggled in 2020. Is it bad enough to justify starting […]

Tyler Boyd Ejected

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has been ejected from Sunday's game against the Dolphins after a small scuffle with Dolphins defensive back Xavien Howard, who was also ejected. Boyd ends the game with just one reception, but that one went for a 72-yard touchdown. Cincinnati's offense will be in even more dire straits in […]

Frank Gore Being Evaluated For Concussion

New York Jets running back Frank Gore has left the game in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. If Gore is unable to return, Ty Johnson will serve as the lead back for the Jets, with Josh Adams getting some run as well. Gore had one carry for two yards before exiting.

Eric Kendricks Ruled Out For Vikings Defense

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) was active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the talented defender has already been ruled out for the remainder of the game. It's a big loss for Minnesota and a boost to the Jaguars, who've already found the end zone once in the early going.

Irv Smith Jr. Out For Week 13

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (back) will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In what should be a high-scoring contest, Kyle Rudolph will serve as the team's main tight end. Considering Rudolph was targeted eight times last week, we should consider the veteran a high-end TE2 option this […]

Chris Boswell Doubtful For Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Washington Football Team. 18-for-19 on field goal attempts this season, Boswell's absence would be bad news for the Steelers and for fantasy managers who've been relying on Boswell to be their weekly starter. It's unclear what the plan will […]

Gardner Minshew II Active, But Not Starter

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is back, but he isn't stepping into the starting role. Mike Glennon will start at quarterback against the Vikings, a defense that's susceptible to the pass. Minshew not returning to the starting role is a bad sign for his NFL future and seems to confirm that the Jaguars […]

Allen Robinson II, Darnell Mooney Active

The Chicago Bears will have their top two receivers on Sunday against the Lions, with both Allen Robinson II (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) active after missing part/all of practice on Friday. It appears neither injury was serious. Robinson has a great matchup that makes him a WR1/2 option, while Mooney has deep league appeal […]

D'Andre Swift Inactive Against Chicago

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (illness) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chicago Bears. Not a surprise, as Swift was listed as doubtful. Swift hasn't played since Week 10. Adrian Peterson will once again serve as the lead back in Detroit and is coming off a two-touchdown game last week. He's a decent […]

Isaiah Coulter Inactive For Week 13

Houston Texans wide receiver Isaiah Coulter won't play in Week 13 against the Colts. A popular pick to see his first NFL action in place of the suspended Will Fuller V, it looks like someone out of Chad Hansen and Steven Mitchell will see snaps in three-receiver sets with Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee. Neither […]

Salvon Ahmed Out For Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. Myles Gaskin (knee) will play, and should see plenty of work this week, especially with Tua Tagovailoa starting at QB, which will lead to a more run-heavy game script for Miami. Consider Gaskin a strong RB2 option against a […]

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 […]
