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 […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Comes In For Tua Tagovailoa

The Miami Dolphins have made a quarterback switch during Sunday's game against the Broncos, bringing Ryan Fitzpatrick in for Tua Tagovailoa. Tua took a hard hit on a sack and appeared to come down awkwardly on his ankle, which could explain the move. Or maybe, down multiple scores, the Dolphins want to play things safe […]

Titans Defense Loses Jayon Brown For Season

Tennessee Titans linebacker Jayon Brown suffered a dislocated and fractured elbow in Sunday's game against the Ravens and will miss the rest of the 2020 NFL season. Brown has played at least 90 percent of Tennessee's defensive snaps in each game this season, recording 73 tackles, including 43 solo tackles, four tackles for loss, and […]

Initial Diagnosis On Joe Burrow Is Torn ACL

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) suffered a torn ACL on Sunday, a source has told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Burrow had already tweeted "see you next year" after the game, signaling his rookie season is over, with the diagnosis further confirming it. The Bengals will turn to Ryan Finley, who started three games for […]

Jayson Tatum Signing Max Extension

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum is signing a five-year, $195 million extension with the Boston Celtics, which includes a player option in the final year. The Celtics have locked their best player up long term. Last season, Tatum averaged 23.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.4 steals per game while shooting 40.3 percent from […]

Juan Hernangomez Staying In Minnesota

Forward Juan Hernangomez has agreed to a three-year, $21 million deal to stay with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Traded to Minny in February, Hernangomez played 14 games for the team, starting all of them and averaging 12.9 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, plus shooting 42 percent from deep on his way to 2.4 made threes […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Staying In Dallas

Center Willie Cauley-Stein is re-signing with the Dallas Mavericks, agreeing to a two-year, $8.2 million deal with the team. Acquired via trade in January, WCS played 13 games in Dallas, averaging 12.1 minutes per contest. He averaged 5.2 points and 4.6 rebounds per game. A talented player who could produce deep-league fantasy value as a […]

Sterling Brown Signs With Rockets

Free agent guard Sterling Brown has signed a one-year deal with the Houston Rockets. Brown has provided solid bench minutes for the Bucks over the past three seasons, shooting 34.5 percent from three across 164 games with the team. As of right now, he's a depth piece with no fantasy value, but with both starting […]

Zhaire Smith Traded To Detroit

The Detroit Pistons have traded for 76ers shooting guard Zhaire Smith, sending center Tony Bradley back to Philly. Smith's a talented young player who has been injury and illness derail the first two years of his career, as he's played just 13 games in the NBA. A great shooter in college at Texas Tech, the […]

Joe Burrow Down With Leg Injury

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarter Joe Burrow has gone down on the field with what appears to be a serious injury to his left knee. Burrow was carted off the field. Ryan Finley will step in at quarterback for the remainder of the game. Based on how the injury looked, there should be concern about Burrow's […]

Randall Cobb, Kenny Stills Ruled Out

Yikes. Two Houston Texans wide receivers Randall Cobb (foot) and Kenny Stills (leg) have been ruled out for the second half of Sunday's game against New England. Cobb caught two passes for seven yards and a touchdown. Stills did not have a reception. We should see more of Keke Coutee in the second half, who […]

Julio Jones Dealing With Hamstring Tightness

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones left Sunday's game against the Saints, but later returned. However, Jones is reportedly dealing with hamstring tightness and was not on the field at the end of the first half. The Falcons might be playing it safe with Jones and keeping him on the sidelines for the rest of […]

Andrus Peat Suffers Concussion

New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Andrus Peat has been ruled out of the rest of his team's Week 11 contest against the Atlanta Falcons after suffering a concussion. Peat has played the majority of the snaps in each Saints game this year, including playing every offensive snap four times. Peat's absence will hurt a Saints […]
