Royce Freeman Could Serve As Backup Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman led the team with eight carries for 50 rushing yards in the Week 12 blowout loss to the Saints, but last week was an abnormal game, and that's an understatement. It helped that Phillip Lindsay (knee) left the game with an injury, and Freeman could be in line for […]

Phillip Lindsay Questionable Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) was a full practice participant on Friday, but he's listed as questionable for Week 13 against the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night. Lindsay looks to have a good chance at being active, but if you want to win your fantasy matchup this weekend and get into the fantasy […]

Kalen Ballage Questionable For Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle), cornerback Casey Hayward (groin) and linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (chest) are questionable to play in Week 13 against the Patriots. Ballage practiced in full on Friday, so he should be active on Sunday. However, with Austin Ekeler returning from Injured Reserve last week and leading the backfield, Ballage […]

Cam Newton Questionable Against Chargers

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Chargers. Newton was limited in practice all week, so fantasy managers should consider him likely to suit up on Sunday. He could be in danger of aggravating the injury because of his aggressive style of play and the fact […]

Jonnu Smith Won't Play Against Browns

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) and cornerback Adoree' Jackson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Browns. Smith missed practice all week, so he wasn't close to playing this weekend after not seeing a single target in the Week 12 win over the Colts. Whenever he returns to action, he'll […]

Browns Defense Won't Have Denzel Ward

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Titans. The Browns are getting All-Pro pass-rusher Myles Garrett back from the COVID-19 list this weekend, but they'll be thin in the secondary without Ward around. Cleveland will still have a difficult time trying to slow down the NFL's rushing […]

Anthony Castonzo Ruled Out Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) and linebacker Bobby Okereke (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Texans. Head coach Frank Reich said that he doesn't expect Castonzo to go on Injured Reserve. The 32-year-old suffered some MCL damage in the Week 12 loss to the Titans, but it […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Questionable Against Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the division-rival Broncos. Edwards-Helaire has missed practice each of the last two days and is in danger of sitting out on Sunday. Making things more difficult for fantasy managers, the Chiefs-Broncos game is on Sunday night. His fantasy […]

Kenny Golladay Set To Miss Week 13

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Bears. It will be Golladay's fifth straight absence, so his fantasy managers are just hoping that he can be available for the fantasy playoffs, which start in Week 14 in most leagues. Marvin Jones […]

D'Andre Swift, Matthew Stafford Questionable

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift (illness) and quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) are both listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Bears. Interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that Swift has cleared the concussion protocol, but he has missed practice the last two days with an illness. It's good news that the rookie […]

Allen Robinson II, Nick Foles Questionable Against Lions

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Lions after not appearing on the injury report until Friday. Quarterback Nick Foles (hip) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (Achilles, hamstring) are also questionable. Robinson was limited in practice on Friday, so he appears to be on the right track […]

Salvon Ahmed, DeAndre Washington Doubtful

Miami Dolphins running backs Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) and DeAndre Washington (hamstring) are doubtful to play in Week 13 against the Bengals. Head coach Brian Flores said that running back Myles Gaskin (knee) could come off Injured Reserve to play on Sunday. Matt Breida is also out after being placed on the COVID-19 list, so Patrick […]

Tua Tagovailoa Listed As Questionable

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores didn't reveal who the starting quarterback would be on Friday for Week 13 against the Bengals, and rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is officially listed as questionable after being limited in practice. The Dolphins will likely make a final decision on the starting job on Sunday morning. However, Tagovailoa […]

J.K. Dobbins Activated, Robert Griffin III To IR

The Baltimore Ravens activated rookie running back J.K. Dobbins, linebacker Pernell McPhee and centers Patrick Mekari and Matt Skura from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday while placing quarterback Robert Griffin III (hamstring) on Injured Reserve in a corresponding move. Cornerback Anthony Averett and wide receiver Chris Moore were also activated from IR. Dobbins missed Week […]

Dolphins Put Matt Breida On COVID-19 List

The Miami Dolphins placed running back Matt Breida on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. It's unclear if Breida tested positive for the virus or was just deemed a high-risk close contact to another individual who did. Either way, he'll be unavailable for Week 13's contest against the Bengals. It likely didn't matter for fantasy purposes, […]

Josh Jacobs Ruled Out For Sunday

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) and safety Johnathan Abram (knee) have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Jets. It's a shame for those that roster Jacobs, as he was in line for a nice bounce-back game against the winless Jets after suffering an ankle […]

Jake Odorizzi Makes Sense For The Mets

With the New York Mets still looking to upgrade their starting rotation, free-agent starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi makes perfect sense. Odorizzi will turn 31 in March and went 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA on his way to his first All-Star selection. However, he struggled during the shortened 2020 season by going 0-1 with a 6.59 […]

Broncos Defense In A Bad Spot In Week 13

The Denver Broncos Defense surprisingly ranks 10th in the NFL through 12 weeks of the 2020 season, but they just placed cornerback Bryce Callahan on Injured Reserve and have been extremely vulnerable on the ground in recent weeks. Going up against the No. 1 overall offense (first in passing, 19th rushing) and dynamic Chiefs quarterback […]

Brandon McManus Can't Be Trusted Sunday Night

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus should not be on the fantasy radar for those streaming kickers in Week 13. The strong-legged kicker hasn't missed a kick since shanking an extra point in Week 7 against the Chiefs, but he also hasn't had more than two field-goal attempts in a single contest since back-to-back games in […]

Noah Fant Should Have Decent Floor Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant carries the distinction of being the only player to catch a pass in the Week 12 blowout loss to the Saints. We'd be pretty surprised if Fant doesn't improve on that number in a Week 13 meeting with the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night. Kansas City's defense has allowed […]

K.J. Hamler Mostly A Dynasty Stash

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler will be a nice weapon out of the slot for the Broncos in the future, but he's just not seeing enough consistent targets in his rookie season to be a realistic receiver to roster in single-year formats. Hamler had 26 targets in a three-game span from Weeks 9-11, […]

Tim Patrick Looking To Bounce Back Against KC

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick and the entire offense was non-existent in the Week 12 blowout loss to the Saints with practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton under center. Patrick and Denver's passing game will rebound against the division-rival Chiefs in Week 13 with quarterback Drew Lock back, but how much? The 27-year-old has three […]

Melvin Gordon III Could Be Sneaky Play Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was a disappointment yet again in Week 12 against the Saints, logging 12 carries for only 31 yards and not catching a pass for the third straight game. Gordon's fantasy value in Week 13 against the division-rival Chiefs will depend on whether Phillip Lindsay (knee) is active. He […]

Daniel Jones Doubtful For Week 13

The New York Giants are listing quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) as doubtful to face the Seahawks in Week 13. Jones hasn't practiced all week and was unlikely to play in this one after tweaking his hammy in the Week 12 win over the Bengals. The good news is that it's a minor injury that should […]

Drew Lock Returning To Face Chiefs

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was inactive in the Week 12 blowout loss to the Saints after being deemed a high-risk close contact of Jeff Driskel, who tested positive for COVID-19. But he was activated on Wednesday and has returned to practice, signaling that he'll be back under center against the division-rival Chiefs in Week […]

Jets Benching Alex Lewis Again In Week 13

The New York Jets are benching starting offensive guard Alex Lewis for the second straight week in Week 13 against the Raiders because of "an organizational decision," according to head coach Adam Gase. Lewis is not being fined, though, and his roster spot isn't in jeopardy. The 28-year-old is attending virtual meetings but hasn't been […]

Eagles Divvying Up Play-Calling Duties

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson confirmed that he is divvying up play-calling duties on offense at times, saying that it's a "collaborative" effort and that it's "my decision to call plays or if I'm going to give them up." "It hasn't been a lot, but something I'll consider each week," Pederson said. Pass-game coordinator […]

Taylor Rogers Agrees To $6 Million Deal

The Minnesota Twins and closer Taylor Rogers agreed to a one-year, $6 million deal on Thursday, according to multiple reports. Rogers had a 4.05 ERA with nine saves and two blown chances in 21 relief outings during the shortened 2020 season. The southpaw was the team's last arbitration-eligible player. In 2019, the left-hander had 30 […]

Colts Activate DeForest Buckner From COVID-19 List

The Indianapolis Colts activated defensive tackle DeForest Buckner from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, and he's eligible to play in Week 13 against the Texans. Without Buckner and sack leader Denico Autry on the defensive line last week, Derrick Henry and the Titans ran all over the Colts Defense and imposed their will. Both Buckner […]

Michael Brantley Could Be Backup Plan For Yankees

The New York Yankees are in need of more left-handed hitting, and they've had contact with four-time All-Star outfielder Michael Brantley. However, Brantley seems like a Plan B in case the team cannot re-sign second baseman DJ LeMahieu. Brantley will turn 34 in May and could be limited to a short-term deal because of his […]
