Chiefs Think Tyreek Hill Will Be OK

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel) is expected to be fine for the wild-card playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "That heel is sore after the game.

Taysom Hill Questionable To Return With Lisfranc Injury

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is dealing with a Lisfranc injury.

Robby Anderson Will Play In Week 18

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson (quadriceps), who was questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale, is active on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Anderson will be active, but in a meaningless game for the Panthers, he might not play his usual number of offensive snaps. The 28-year-old has only 46 […]

James Conner Active In Week 18

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) is officially active on Sunday for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks.

Nick Folk Active For Regular Season Finale

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (knee) is active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins.

Jakobi Meyers Playing On Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (thigh), who came into the game questionable to play, is active for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins.

Damien Harris Active Against Dolphins

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (hamstring) is officially active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins.

Brandin Cooks Questionable To Return Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Cooks injured his knee in the third quarter.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is officially active for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams.

Emmanuel Sanders Officially Out In Week 18

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is officially inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Jets.

Austin Walter A Healthy Scratch For Jets

New York Jets running backs Austin Walter and La'Mical Perine are both inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills.

Kyle Pitts Will Play Sunday

Atlanta Falcons rookie tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's regular season finale against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. Pitts was questionable to play coming into the game, but fantasy managers will have him available this weekend. The 21-year-old has been a consistent target for quarterback Matt Ryan this year […]

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) is inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Atlanta Falcons. It will be the second straight missed game for Ingram.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ribs) and tight end Darren Waller (knee) will both play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in the Week 18 regular season finale.

Tyree Jackson Suffers Torn ACL

An MRI exam on Sunday revealed that Philadelphia Eagles rookie tight end Tyree Jackson (knee) tore his ACL in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to a source.

Broncos Defense Plays Well In Season Finale

The Denver Broncos defense was the strength of this team yet again in 2021, but their offense never really answered the bell to complement them all season long. That was again the case in the Week 18 regular season finale in the 28-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. While the Broncos defense […]

Brandon McManus Makes All Four Kicks Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus finished off his season strong in the 28-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 18 on Saturday. McManus made a 31-yard field goal, his only field-goal attempt in the game, and all three extra-point tries. The 30-year-old finishes the year with 26 made field goals on 31 tries […]

Courtland Sutton Finishes With One More Dud

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton continued his second-half fall in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday when he caught just one of three targets for 13 yards. Sutton was looking good early in the season, considering he missed most of last year with a torn ACL, but once Jerry […]

Noah Fant Catches Just One Pass In Week 18

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant predictably fell back to Earth in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. Fant had one of his best games of the year in the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers when receivers Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick were out due to COVID-19 […]

Jerry Jeudy Finishes The Year With No Touchdowns

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught two of five targets for 30 yards in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday to close out the season. Jeudy's five targets were the second-most on the team, but it was another disappointing game for the second-year pass-catcher, who finished without a single […]

Tim Patrick Leads Broncos In Receiving On Saturday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick led the Broncos in receiving in Saturday's 28-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs to finish off the season. Patrick led the team in receptions (six), targets (10) and receiving yards (95). The 28-year-old, who signed a contract extension during the season, finishes the year with a career-high 53 […]

Javonte Williams Rushes For 46 Yards In Loss To Chiefs

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams saw 12 carries (the same as Melvin Gordon) but wasn't as productive as his teammate with 46 rushing yards (3.8 yards per carry) in the 28-24 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. Williams caught both of his targets in the passing game for an additional 18 […]

Melvin Gordon III Goes Over 100 Yards In Season Finale

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III finished up the regular season with a strong performance in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday in what could end up being his final game with the team.

Drew Lock Runs For Two Touchdowns In Week 18 Loss

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock didn't do a ton with his arm in the Week 18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday, but he put the Broncos in position to pull off an upset and ran the ball four times for 35 yards and two touchdowns. Lock went 12-for-24 for 162 yards, no […]
