Week 12 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Thanksgiving is already here as the NFL season continues its whirlwind pace. It feels like yesterday that Week 1 was here, that we were wondering how good this Patrick Mahomes kid could be and talking about how Le'Veon Bell would be back soon and we still thought Tom Brady was a good quarterback. And now […]

Sam Darnold Could Return Week 13, But Week 14 More Likely

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday and while he could be ready to go in Week 13 against the Titans, it's more likely that he returns to the field against the Bills in Week 14. The Jets and backup quarterback Josh McCown were just shut down […]

Alex Collins Expected To Play Against Raiders

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) is expected to play against the Raiders, but he remains a risky fantasy start after the emergence of running back Gus Edwards in Week 11. Edwards perfectly complements quarterback Lamar Jackson in a backfield that should be heavy on the run, so Collins is likely to be used […]

Jimmy Graham Has Good Chance To Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee/thumb) is banged up, but he's on track to play against the Vikings in Week 12. The broken thumb that Graham suffered in his last game is an issue that could greatly impact his effectiveness, though the Packers wouldn't put him on the field if they didn't think […]

Melvin Gordon Expected To Play In Week 12

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring/knee) has been a question mark all week, but he is expected to play on Sunday against the Cardinals. It's a good matchup for Gordon, though it's likely he cedes some playing time to backup running back Austin Ekeler. Keep an eye on the situation during pregame to […]

Robby Anderson Expected To Play Limited Role In Week 12

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is expected to play for the first time since Week 9, but NFL.com's Ian Rapoport says that Anderson will play a limited role against the Patriots on Sunday. Anderson is an intriguing fantasy option once he's fully acclimated back into this team, but not for Week 12.

Torrey Smith Expected To Play In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) hasn't played since Week 7 but is expected to suit up against the Seahawks in Week 12. Smith will be fairly low on the quarterback Cam Newton's radar and is unlikely to see a big yardage total, though he did score two touchdowns in his first seven games. […]

Jordy Nelson Expected To Return Against Ravens

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) was reportedly contemplating retirement recently, but he is expected to return to the playing field on Sunday against the Ravens. The Raiders offense has struggled in recent weeks, but it's unclear if adding Nelson back into the mix will move the needle any as he had just five […]

DeSean Jackson Expected To Play In Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is expected to suit up in Week 12 against the 49ers. Jackson opened the season with three 100-yard games in his first four games, but has failed to reach that mark since and has just one touchdown since that time. The loss of tight end O.J. Howard […]
