Deebo Samuel Won't Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (groin) will not return to practice on Wednesday. Samuel injured his groin in Week 12 and sat out last week, and he's not guaranteed to be back on the field this Sunday when the team takes on the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old is still the WR2 in fantasy […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Practice With Multiple Injuries

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion, knee) missed practice on Wednesday with "knee irritation" in addition to being in the league's concussion protocol. It doesn't sound like the 23-year-old's knee injury is all that serious, but Mitchell shouldn't be considered a lock to play in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals this […]

Dalvin Cook Questionable To Play Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cook practiced in a limited fashion on Tuesday and Wednesday, so he at least has a chance to return to action in Week 14 after dislocating his left shoulder and tearing his labrum in Week […]

Adam Thielen Officially Ruled Out This Week

The Minnesota Vikings officially ruled out wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) for Thursday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Thielen suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions and could easily miss more time beyond this week. Fantasy managers need to prepare for that possibility with the fantasy postseason […]

Justin Fields Will Start Against Packers

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ribs) has been cleared and will start this Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers. Fields was limited in practice all last week, but Chicago was playing it safe and held the first-rounder out for a second straight game. Now that he's been […]

Joe Burrow Says He'll Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (pinkie) said he will practice "a little bit" on Wednesday, but he has yet to throw since dislocating his right pinkie finger in the Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Burrow said he doesn't have a problem going under center and said, "I don't foresee that happening," when […]

Randy Gregory Back At Practice Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. The Cowboys now have 21 days to activate Gregory from the Injured Reserve, but that could come later this week if the 29-year-old looks good in practice this week. Having Gregory available in Week 14's divisional clash […]

Montez Sweat Likely To Miss Two More Games

Washington Football Team pass-rusher Montez Sweat (jaw), who missed the last four games with a fractured jaw and was expected to return to practice on Wednesday, has tested positive for COVID-19, according to a source. Sweat is now expected to miss the next 10 days (which means he's unvaccinated), which will likely keep him out […]

Zach Cunningham Placed On Waivers

The Houston Texans put linebacker Zach Cunningham on waivers on Tuesday. He made nearly $9 million this year, but his base for the entire season was $900,000, so there is a chance he'll be claimed off the waiver wire. Cunningham didn't play in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts due to disciplinary reasons, but before […]

Keelan Cole Back From COVID-19 List

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole is off the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is practicing on Wednesday. Cole missed the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles after testing positive for COVID-19, but he's back with Corey Davis (groin) going on season-ending Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Rookie Elijah Moore is also dealing with a quadriceps […]

Tevin Coleman In The Concussion Protocol

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman (head) is in the league's concussion protocol and did not practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Robert Saleh. With Michael Carter (ankle) on Injured Reserve, Ty Johnson, Austin Walter and La'Mical Perine are the backs behind Coleman on New York's depth chart. Coleman will be one to […]

Elijah Moore Day-To-Day With Quad Injury

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quadriceps) is dealing with a quad injury and is listed as day-to-day, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Moore did not practice on Wednesday as a result. It's certainly something to watch for a player on the rise, but as long as Moore is able to return […]

Is Corey Davis Droppable? Is Jamison Crowder Worth Picking Up?

Week 14 of the fantasy football season is here and there are injury situations to deal with as always. Knowing the latest injury news and making the right roster adjustments are key to winning your matchups. Let's take a look at a major injury for the New York Jets and what it might mean for […]

Rams Non-Committal On Sony Michel's Role Moving Forward

When asked if he sees running back Sony Michel taking on a lead-back role, regardless of Darrell Henderson's (thigh) health, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was non-committal. "I think it's really good to get Sony going. I think he's a rhythm runner, but I think we definitely would want to find ways to […]

Keenan Allen Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is vaccinated, so he still has a chance to play in Week 14 against the New York Giants, according to a source. Allen landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he'll need to be asymptomatic and return two negative tests 24 hours apart in order to be […]

Cowboys Activate Terence Steele From COVID-19 List

The Dallas Cowboys activated offensive tackle Terence Steele from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Steele will be available in Week 14 against the Washington Football Team, but it's uncertain how the playing time will shake out at right tackle between Steele and La'el Collins. Steele was starting at right tackle and doing well, but Collins […]

Kevin Byard Back From COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans activated safety Kevin Byard from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. The timing couldn't have been better for Byard and the Titans, as he was placed on the COVID-19 list at the start of the bye week and didn't have to miss any games. Byard has 64 tackles, five interceptions, a sack, 12 […]

Anthony Barr Says He's Playing Thursday

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) said he is playing on Thursday night in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after tweaking his hamstring in Week 12 and sitting out the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions. Injuries have been a huge problem for Barr, who has played in just eight of 23 games […]

Hayden Hurst's Practice Window Opens

The Atlanta Falcons designated tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, opening up the team's 21-day window to activate him. Hurst has a good chance of rejoining the active roster for the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers after they released tight end Parker Hesse on Monday. Whenever he […]

Kenny Stills Waived, Kevin White Signed

The New Orleans Saints waived wide receiver Kenny Stills and defensive tackle Malcolm Roach on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, they re-signed wide receiver Kevin White to their practice squad. Stills played just 16% of the offensive snaps in last Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and wasn't able to haul in any of his […]

Ben Roethlisberger Back To Full Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) got in a full practice on Tuesday after being listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. Roethlisberger has been following this scheduled for most of the season, but the only game he's missed in 2021 was after he tested positive for COVID-19. Big Ben will start […]

Dalvin Cook Puts In A Limited Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, but he was able to put in a limited practice on Tuesday. While Cook may ultimately miss his second straight game this Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers after dislocating his left shoulder and tearing his labrum in […]

David Njoku Placed On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unclear if Njoku tested positive for the virus or if he's vaccinated, but his status for the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens is now up in the air. If Njoku tested positive for […]

Mark Kotsay A Candidate For A's Managerial Job

Third base coach Mark Kotsay is among the Oakland Athletics managerial candidates who have or are expected to interview soon, and the list also include Rays bench coach Matt Quatraro, Red Sox bench coach Will Venable, Astros bench coach Joe Espada, A's bullpen coach Marcus Jensen and A's hitting coach Darren Bush, according to sources. […]

Mets Interview Brad Ausmus For Manager Position

The New York Mets interviewed Brad Ausmus for their managerial opening on Monday, marking the first interview of what's expected to be an extensive search, according to sources familiar with the situation. The 52-year-old Ausmus served as the manager for the Detroit Tigers and Los Angeles Angels previously, and he has a long relationship with […]

Red Sox Have Checked In With Trevor Story

The Boston Red Sox have at least checked in with free-agent shortstop Trevor Story. There are at least three serious players for Story, plus others and one mystery team. MLB Network's Jon Heyman also mentioned the Houston Astros as a team to have expressed interest in Story this offseason. Boston recently reached out to Carlos […]

T.J. Watt Is Special

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt had 3.5 sacks in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens and leads the NFL with 16. For as much attention as Watt gets as a pure pass-rusher, it goes largely unnoticed that he also plays a big part in stopping the run with his ability to set […]

Ben Roethlisberger's Demise Premature?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has had his share of struggles in what is likely to be his last season in the NFL, but the perception that Big Ben no longer belongs on the field on Sundays is grossly inaccurate, in the opinion of The Athletic's Mark Kaboly. Roethlisberger went 21-for-31 for 236 yards, two […]

Justin Fields' Week 14 Status Up In The Air

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields' (ribs) availability for Week 14 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers has been an "ongoing discussion all week long," according to head coach Matt Nagy. The Bears won't put Fields at risk medically if they don't feel he's ready to return after he fractured some ribs in Week 11. […]

Jeff Nixon To Take Over As Offensive Coordinator

Carolina Panthers coach Jeff Nixon will take over as the team's offensive coordinator after the team parted ways with offensive coordinator Joe Brady on Sunday. Nixon got his career started at Penn State alongside head coach Matt Rhule when the two were grad assistants in the late 90s. Nixon also coached alongside Rhule at Temple […]
