Austin Ekeler Removed From COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has been removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Ekeler officially went on the COVID list last Wednesday and wasn't able to play in the team's surprising Week 16 loss to the Houston Texans. Justin Jackson filled in nicely as a fantasy and real-life replacement, though, carrying 11 […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Listed As Week-To-Week

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) is now considered week-to-week with a bruised shoulder, according to a league source. It will be challenging for Edwards-Helaire to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, but he isn't being ruled out just yet. As of Monday, fantasy managers should consider CEH […]

Eagles Hopeful Jordan Howard Can Play In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard's (neck) MRI exam was "good" on Monday, and the team is hopeful that he can play in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. Howard suffered a stinger in the second half of the Week 16 win over the New York Giants, but he will have a chance to […]

Kareem Hunt Activated From COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns activated running back Kareem Hunt from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. In addition to Hunt, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, guard Drew Forbes, safety Ronnie Harrison Jr., cornerback Troy Hill, defensive tackle Malik McDowell, offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. and linebacker Mack Wilson came off the list. Hunt will now have to prove […]

No Structural Damage For Clyde Edwards-Helaire

Tests on Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) on Monday showed some swelling but no structural damage, according to a source. His injury isn't season-ending, and he should return to the team shortly. It's excellent news for the Chiefs and Edwards-Helaire's fantasy managers, as it sounds like there's a chance that he'll be […]

Shaq Thompson Lands On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers added linebacker Shaq Thompson to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Along with Thompson, edge rusher Brian Burns, defensive end Marquis Haynes Sr. and defensive tackle Phil Hoskins were added to the list. The Panthers had a COVID-19 outbreak this week and could be very short-handed on defense in Week 17 against the […]

Breshad Perriman Activated From COVID-19 List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after he missed the last two games. There is more opportunity in Tampa's passing game with Chris Godwin (knee) out for the year and Mike Evans (hamstring) questionable to play in Week 17, but Perriman is still unlikely to […]

Josh Reynolds Tests Positive For COVID-19

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds has tested positive for COVID-19 and will enter the league's protocols this week. If Reynolds is vaccinated and is asymptomatic, he could be cleared for Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks if he tests negative once. It hasn't taken Reynolds long to become Detroit's No. 2 receiver behind Amon-Ra […]

Brandon Scherff Activated From COVID-19 List

The Washington Football Team activated right guard Brandon Scherff, linebacker Cole Holcomb and center Tyler Larsen from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Larsen, who is dealing with an Achilles injury, was transferred to Injured Reserve. Scherff missed the last two games and has missed six games overall this year, but Washington's offensive line will get […]

Taylor Heinicke Will Start In Week 17

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles, but "we'll see" beyond that. "Will we play Kyle Allen? Probably. But we're going to stick with Taylor for now," Rivera said. Heinicke and the entire Washington Football Team were an utter disaster in the 56-14 […]

Miles Sanders Won't Play This Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that running back Miles Sanders (hand) will be out in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team, but the team won't place him on Injured Reserve. The Eagles are hoping to have Sanders back this season, but it remains to be seen if he'll be available in the […]

Jared Goff Cleared From COVID-19 List

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Goff missed the Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons while on the COVID list, but he'll be available to return in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Tim Boyle filled in for Goff against the Falcons and went 24-for-34 for 187 […]

Brandon McManus Makes A 55-Yarder In Week 16

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made two of his three field-goal attempts, including a 55-yarder, and his only extra-point try in the team's 17-13 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. Although the Broncos offense really struggled to move the ball on offense with quarterback Drew Lock making his first start of […]

Broncos Defense Records Three Takeaways Against Vegas

For the second straight week, the Denver Broncos defense did more than enough to help the team get the win, but the offense failed to capitalize in the 17-13 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. In the loss, the Broncos recovered two fumbles, picked off a pass that was nearly returned for […]

Tim Patrick Totals 18 Yards In Loss To Raiders

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick didn't do much in the 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16, catching two of his four targets for only 18 yards. Patrick leads all Denver receivers with his five touchdowns this season, but he's the third or fourth option in a low-volume passing attack and […]

Noah Fant Has Another Mediocre Performance

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant had three receptions for 30 yards on four targets in the 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. Backup tight end Albert Okwuegbunam saw just two targets on Sunday and didn't catch either of them, but Fant still left plenty to be desired by his fantasy […]

Courtland Sutton Gets More Involved In Week 16

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton only had 33 receiving yards in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, but believe it or not, that was his best yardage total since Week 8. His four receptions (five targets) were the most he's had since Week 7. With quarterback Drew Lock under center in […]

Jerry Jeudy Leads Broncos In Receiving Against Raiders

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy bounced back from his donut in Week 15 to lead the Broncos with 60 receiving yards in the 17-13 Week 16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Jeudy caught three of his four targets on the day, but most of his yardage came on a 40-yard pass in which […]

Allen Robinson II Returning From COVID-19 List

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II, tight end Jesse James, cornerback Jaylon Johnson, running back Ryan Nall and safety Tashaun Gipson are set to be activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The Bears should have all of these players back for their Week 17 matchup against the New York Giants. Robinson has missed the last […]

Melvin Gordon III Has A Day To Forget In Week 16

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III won't want to watch the tape of his Week 16 performance against the Las Vegas Raiders. On seven carries (the same as Javonte Williams), he managed minus-four yards rushing while catching his only target in the passing game for a four-yard gain. The Raiders sold out to stop […]

Javonte Williams Salvages His Day With A Touchdown

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams and the Denver rushing attack went absolutely nowhere in the 17-13 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. The impressive rookie handled seven carries (the same as Melvin Gordon) and mustered just 12 yards (1.7 yards per carry), but he saved his fantasy day by finding […]

Drew Lock Falls Flat Against Raiders

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock didn't turn the ball over in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders, but that was about his only positive in a disappointing 17-13 loss on Sunday. Lock went 15-for-22 for 153 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions, and he ran twice for 10 yards. With the Raiders selling out […]

Brandon Allen Lands On COVID-19 List

Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback Brandon Allen was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. The obvious concern here is for starter Joe Burrow, who threw for a franchise-record 525 passing yards in the Week 16 win over the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. Burrow and Allen are the team's only QBs on the active roster, with Jake […]

Anthony Averett Fractures A Rib Sunday

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Anthony Averett (rib), who is one of the team's few available and capable starters in the secondary, suffered a fractured rib in the Week 16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source. Averett could be fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. The […]

Brian Burns Tests Positive For COVID-19

Carolina Panthers Pro Bowl defensive end Brian Burns has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Head coach Matt Rhule said that the team has a "somewhat significant" number of positive COVID tests on Monday, so we should be expecting more Panthers names to be added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list in the coming days. […]

Shaq Barrett Has Sprained MCL And ACL

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that pass-rusher Shaq Barrett (knee) has a sprained MCL and ACL and will miss the next two games, but the team is hoping that he'll be back for the playoffs. Combined with the injury to Lavonte David, the Tampa defense will be missing two of their star […]

Panthers Dealing With COVID-19 Outbreak

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said on Monday that the team has had a "somewhat significant" outbreak of positive COVID-19 tests. Everybody has been sent home and Rhule hopes they will be able to resume preparation for Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints on Wednesday. The Panthers appear to be the latest NFL […]

Dan Campbell To Finish The Season As The Play-Caller

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he will continue to call the offensive plays for the final two games of the regular season. Detroit's offense has looked better since Campbell took over the play-calling duties with more input from offensive coordinator Anthony Lynn. "Definitely, I feel like every week I've gotten a lot […]

Is Myles Gaskin The Dolphins Starting RB? Should Duke Johnson Be Started?

Week 16 is nearly over, but if your fantasy playoff matchup hinges on a performance in Monday night's game between the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints, you've come to the right place. The Saints offense is likely to struggle against an aggressive Dolphins defense with rookie quarterback Ian Book making his first career NFL […]

Ernest Jones Considered Week-To-Week With Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Rams rookie linebacker Ernest Jones (ankle) is believed to have suffered the dreaded high ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings, according to a source, and he's considered week-to-week with a chance to return for the playoffs. Jones, a third-round pick in the draft, emerged as a starter midway through the […]
