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 […]

Jordan Howard Questionable To Return Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is questionable to return on Sunday against the New York Giants after suffering a stinger. Before leaving late in the second half, Howard had a team-high nine carries for 37 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and hauled in two of his four targets for an additional 19 yards in […]

Stephon Gilmore Injured In Week 16

Carolina Panthers cornerback Stephon Gilmore (groin) has been ruled out in the Week 16 game with a groin injury. Gilmore had been matched up with Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown for much of the day, but he recorded only three tackles before leaving late in the second half. In nine games with the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Injures Knee, Ruled Out

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a knee injury. Before leaving, Henderson saw just one carry for 17 yards and wasn't targeted at all in the passing game. Sony Michel was once again the featured back for […]

Shaq Barrett Ruled Out With Knee Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett was initially injured in the second quarter, but he returned to the game before finally being shut down for good. The 29-year-old entered the Week 16 contest with 47 tackles (35 […]

Darren Waller Officially Inactive Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) is officially inactive in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. Waller hasn't practiced or played since getting injured on Thanksgiving Day and was doubtful coming into this one, so fantasy managers should've already had Waller firmly planted on their benches. Backup Foster Moreau had his best […]

Alex Collins A Healthy Scratch Against Bears

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins is a healthy scratch for the Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears. Collins missed last week while on the COVID-19 list, and now he's the odd man out in this mediocre Seattle backfield. Rashaad Penny has been the team's leading ball-carrier in the last two weeks, and that […]

Adam Thielen Returns Against Rams

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams after aggravating his ankle injury in the first half. Thielen missed the previous two weeks due to a high ankle sprain and was pretty upset when he limped off the field in the second quarter, but he is […]

Miles Sanders Ruled Out For The Rest Of The Day

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to a hand injury. It's a tough break for Sanders' fantasy managers, as he had 6.4 yards per carry on seven rushing attempts for 45 yards before leaving the game. He also […]

Allen Robinson II Still Out, Marquise Goodwin Returning

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II will remain out of action in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks since he's still on the COVID-19 list. However, Marquise Goodwin (foot) is active on Sunday for the first time since he was injured in the Thanksgiving Day game. Jakeem Grant Sr. (concussion) was ruled out, so […]

Justin Fields Inactive On Sunday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) is officially inactive in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. Fields came into this game as questionable, but the Bears announced on Friday that Nick Foles would be getting the start, regardless of whether Fields was active. Andy Dalton (groin) is also inactive after just returning from the […]

Miles Sanders Questionable To Return With Hand Injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) is questionable to return to the Week 16 game against the New York Giants due to a hand injury. Before leaving the contest, Sanders led the team with seven carries while gaining 45 yards (6.4 yards per carry). He also caught one of his three targets in the […]
