Washington Optimistic About Alex Smith

The Washington Football Team is optimistic about quarterback Alex Smith's (calf) chances of starting in Week 15 against the Seahawks, although he's expected to be limited in practice this week. Smith suffered a calf strain last weekend to the same leg that he almost lost after suffering a gruesome break a couple of years ago. […]

Frank Reich Thinks Philip Rivers Has Multiple Years Left

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that he thinks quarterback Philip Rivers can keep playing beyond this season if that's what he wants to do. The 39-year-old was coming off one of his worst seasons in 2019 with the Chargers, but he has thrown for 3,507 yards and 20 touchdowns with only nine interceptions […]

Denzel Mims Back With The Team

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims is back with the team after leaving last week and missing the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks to deal with a personal issue. Mims couldn't get through COVID-19 protocol in time to play against Seattle last weekend, but he should […]

Ronald Jones II May Have A Fractured Pinkie

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II (pinkie) might have suffered a fractured pinkie finger in the Week 14 win over the Vikings on Sunday. The team is waiting to see if Jones needs to have a pin inserted. This is surely something to watch heading into Week […]

Seahawks Optimistic About Carlos Dunlap

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) was rested in the Week 14 win over the Jets, and the team is optimistic that he will be able to return in Week 15 against the Washington Football Team. The Seahawks will know more on Dunlap on Wednesday during their first practice of the week. Seattle's defensive […]

Von Miller Not Expected To Play In Week 15

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) began running last week but isn't expected to play in Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday. Miller suffered a season-ending ankle injury before the 2020 season began, and it's unlikely that the Broncos would bring him back with just three games left in the season, especially since they're […]

Garett Bolles Tests Negative For COVID-19

Denver Broncos left tackle Garett Bolles (illness), who was forced to leave the Week 14 win over the Panthers, has tested negative for COVID-19 and has returned to Denver after spending Sunday night in Charlotte. Bolles should be available to play in Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday as long as he can get […]

George Kittle Could Return To Practice This Week

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot), who was put on Injured Reserve on Nov. 5 with a broken bone in his foot, could return to practice this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. It's good news if Kittle returns to practice, but it won't guarantee that he returns from IR to play […]

Myles Garrett Injured Monday Night

Cleveland Browns star pass-rusher Myles Garrett (elbow) left the Monday night game against the Ravens early in the second quarter with an apparent elbow injury. Garrett took an accidental shot from a teammate and was seen flexing his arm as he headed toward the sideline. It's unknown if Garrett will be able to return for […]

Eagles Defense Hurting In The Secondary

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) was put in the concussion protocol in Week 14 against the Saints, while cornerback Avonte Maddox (knee) will miss some time with a knee injury. Philly also lost safety Rodney McLeod (knee) for the rest of the year due to a torn ACL. The injuries forced backups Marcus Epps, […]

Cam Newton Still The Guy For Week 15

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton has struggled as a passer this year, and he went just 9-for-16 for 119 yards with an interception and four sacks taken in last Thursday's loss to the Rams. Jarrett Stidham took over late in that game and went 5-for-7 for 27 yards with two sacks in three drives. […]

Justin Reid Out For The Season

Houston Texans standout safety Justin Reid (hand) will miss the rest of the 2020 season after suffering a hand injury in the Week 14 loss to the Bears, according to a source. Reid's loss will be a big one for the final three games of the regular season, as he had 83 tackles and two […]

Vikings Waive Tajae Sharpe Monday

The Minnesota Vikings waived wide receiver Tajae Sharpe on Monday after signing him in free agency. Sharpe, a fifth-round pick of the Titans back in 2016, played in just four games with Minnesota this year and had no catches on three targets. The 25-year-old is likely to clear waivers but could latch on with another […]

Alex Smith Vital To Washington's Offense

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) continues to receive treatment for a mild calf strain that he suffered in the Week 14 win over the 49ers. It's unknown if he'll be able to suit up in Week 15 against the Seahawks, but Washington's offense needs him under center. Since the veteran signal-caller took over […]

Broncos Defense Carried By Special Teams Score

The Denver Broncos Defense/special teams was carried in the Week 14 win over the Panthers by an 83-yard punt return by Diontae Spencer in the first quarter on Sunday. Other than that score, though, the Broncos defense did very little to help fantasy managers. They did keep the Christian McCaffrey-less Panthers offense to under 30 […]

Brandon McManus Has A Rough Game Against Carolina

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't attempt a single field goal in the Week 14 win over the Panthers, and he missed two of his four extra-point attempts as well to leave his fantasy managers pretty disappointed in a game in which quarterback Drew Lock threw four touchdown passes. The theme of the 29-year-old not […]

Noah Fant Puts Up A Goose Egg In Week 14

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (illness) was forced to leave the Week 14 game against the Panthers with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, he was unable to return to the game. In his stead, Nick Vannett and Troy Fumagalli stepped in to combine for eight receptions, 73 yards and a touchdown, […]

Nick Vannett Scores First Touchdown Of The Season

Denver Broncos tight end Nick Vannett caught his first touchdown pass of the season in the 32-27 Week 14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Vannett was targeted four times in the game and caught all four for 20 yards and the score. Both he and Troy Fumagalli were forced to step in with Noah […]

Tim Patrick Has Three Touchdowns In Last Two Games

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick found the end zone for the third time in the last two games in the Week 14 win over the Panthers. The 27-year-old caught three of his five targets in the game for 36 yards and one touchdown. He continues to be a reliable red-zone weapon for quarterback Drew […]

Jerry Jeudy Continues To Stay Cold

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was the team's second-best rookie pass-catcher in the 32-27 victory over the Panthers in Week 15. Although Jeudy saw one more target than K.J. Hamler, Hamler had the bigger day with a team-high 86 receiving yards and two long touchdowns. Jeudy caught two of his four targets for […]

K.J. Hamler Scores Twice Against Panthers

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler had by far the best game of his first season in the NFL in Week 14 against the Panthers. Hamler caught two of his three targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the 32-27 victory. The three targets were nothing special, but the Penn State product made […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Considered Week-To-Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring), who left the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs early, is considered week-to-week, according to a source. Grant's status for Week 15 against the Patriots is very questionable, at best. It sounds like he's more doubtful than anything for this weekend's game, so fantasy managers should be […]

Melvin Gordon III Available For Rest Of Season

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III's DUI case has been continued to Jan. 14, so he will be available to play in the team's final three games of the regular season. Gordon was arrested on Oct. 13 for DUI and was also cited for speeding, and he could still face discipline from the league […]

Cowboys Sticking With Mike McCarthy

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the team will not be making a change with head coach Mike McCarthy. "There will be absolutely no change with Mike McCarthy. I am surprised someone would question (that). ... We have the utmost confidence this ship is going to be righted quickly," Jones said. Owner […]

Gardner Minshew II Named The Week 15 Starter

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback Gardner Minshew II will start in Week 15 against the Ravens. The Mike Glennon experiment is over, at least for the time being, after he went 13-for-23 for just 85 yards and an interception in the Week 14 loss to the Titans before being benched. Minshew […]

Phillip Lindsay Sees 11 Carries Against Carolina

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay continued to split the backfield workload almost evenly with Melvin Gordon III in the 32-27 Week 14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Lindsay carried the ball 11 times for just 24 yards (2.2 yards per carry). He also caught both of his targets in the passing game for […]

Melvin Gordon III Injures Shoulder In Week 14 Win

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (shoulder) injured his shoulder in the Week 14 win over the Panthers, but the severity of the injury is unknown. The 27-year-old had 13 carries on the day for 68 yards (5.2 yards per carry), and he also added three catches on three targets for an extra 23 […]

Drew Lock Has Best Game Of The Season

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had his best game of the 2020 season in the Week 14 win over the Panthers, throwing for 280 yards on 21-for-27 passing for a season-high four touchdowns in the 32-27 win. It was his first game without an interception since Week 2 against the Steelers, snapping a string of […]

D.J. Moore Expected To Play In Week 15

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is expected to come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list in time for the team's Week 15 game against the Packers on Saturday. Moore tested positive for the virus last week and missed the Week 14 loss to the Broncos, but fantasy managers should have him available for this weekend's game. […]

Panthers Hoping Christian McCaffrey Can Practice Tuesday

The Carolina Panthers are hoping that running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps) will practice on Tuesday with a chance to play in Week 15 on Saturday against the Packers, according to a source. At this time, no one is assuming anything with McCaffrey after he has missed the last four games with shoulder and quad injuries. […]
