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 […]

Mark Ingram II Inactive Against Falcons

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

The Chicago Bears are likely to move on from head coach Matt Nagy after the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, according to sources.

Mike Zimmer Could Be On His Way Out

There is a real possibility that Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer will be coaching his final game with the team in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but owners Zygi and Mark Wilf have kept their plans close to the vest, according to sources. Several sources with knowledge […]

Parris Campbell Active In Week 18

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell (foot), who was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, is officially active in Week 18 against the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out the regular season.

David Njoku Active For Season Finale

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (shoulder) is officially active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday after he was listed as questionable to play. Njoku missed two practices this week, but he returned to the practice field on Friday and will finish out the regular season after catching […]

Kareem Hunt Inactive To Close Out The Season

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) is inactive for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hunt had a disappointing season thanks to nine missed games due to injury. Not having his versatile skills out of the backfield behind Nick Chubb really hurt a Browns offense that lacked many big-time playmakers […]

Evan McPherson Inactive For Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals rookie kicker Evan McPherson (groin) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. You know it's the regular season finale when teams are resting their kickers. The Bengals elevated Elliott Fry from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, which was an early sign that McPherson would get Week […]

C.J. Uzomah Playing Against Browns

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (hip, knee) is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns after being questionable on the final injury report. Uzomah will suit up, but it's unclear if he'll actually play a full game with the Bengals resting a lot of their starters, including quarterback […]

Ja'Marr Chase Active, Tee Higgins Inactive

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, but fellow wideout Tee Higgins is a healthy scratch. Chase needs just 12 yards to set the franchise's single-season receiving yards record, which is probably the only reason why he's not inactive along […]

Vita Vea Agrees To Four-Year Extension

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and defensive tackle Vita Vea agreed to a four-year contract extension on Saturday worth over $73 million. Vea has been one of the best interior defensive lineman since the Bucs took him in the first round in the 2018 draft. Tampa already agreed to pick up his fifth-year option for the […]

Broncos Fire Vic Fangio, Pat Shurmur

The Denver Broncos fired head coach Vic Fangio and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur on Sunday, according to a team official. Fangio got the ax after three seasons at the helm in Denver after he went 19-30 and failed to make the postseason.

Cam Akers Expected To Have A Limited Role

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (Achilles) is expected to make his season debut on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, according to sources, but he is expected to have a limited role in Week 18 after tearing his Achilles in July.
