Noah Fant Ends Touchdown Drought

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant rewarded any fantasy managers that stuck with him after his donut in Week 14 against the Panthers. The second-year tight end caught a season-high eight of a season-high 11 targets for 68 yards and his third touchdown of the year in the Week 15 loss to the Bills on […]

Phillip Lindsay Doesn't Contribute Much Against Buffalo

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay had as many carries (11) as teammate Melvin Gordon III against the Bills on Saturday, but he was much less effective, gaining 38 yards on the ground while catching all three of his targets for an additional seven yards in the 48-19 loss. The good news is that Lindsay […]

Melvin Gordon III Finds The End Zone Twice On Saturday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had one of his best games of the season in the 48-19 loss to the Bills on Saturday in Week 15. Gordon carried the ball 11 times for 61 yards and two touchdowns while also adding four catches on four targets for 20 yards in the passing game. […]

Drew Lock Very Mediocre In Loss To Bills

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was coming off his best game of the season in a Week 14 win against the Panthers, but he wasn't able to deliver an encore, falling flat in a 48-19 loss to Buffalo on Saturday. Lock went just 20-for-32 for 132 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball […]

Frank Ragnow Won't Play In Week 15

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (throat) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Week 15 against the Titans. Ragnow fractured his throat last week but somehow managed to play through the injury last Sunday. His absence will be a downgrade for Detroit's offensive line against Tennessee, and it's more bad news for quarterback Matthew […]

Broncos Defense Not In Play Against The Bills

The Denver Broncos Defense has overachieved this year despite losing defensive MVP Von Miller to a season-ending ankle injury before the regular season. They rank 19th in the league in overall defense but have been surprisingly good against the passing game despite having an inexperienced secondary. However, top cornerback A.J. Bouye is suspended for the […]

Michael Thomas Ruled Out Against Chiefs

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Chiefs. It's extremely bad timing, as not only is this weekend the fantasy semifinals for most leagues, but the Saints are also getting quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) back on Sunday, which was going to be a boost […]

Brandon McManus Needs To Be Avoided

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus shouldn't be in any starting fantasy lineups this weekend for a Week 15 matchup against the Bills on Saturday. McManus landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week as a high-risk close contact of someone outside the organization that tested positive for the virus. The 29-year-old could still be cleared […]

Matthew Stafford Officially Questionable For Week 15

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant on Friday and is officially questionable for Week 15 against the Titans. It was reported earlier that Stafford didn't practice Friday, so his limited session is at least somewhat encouraging after he missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. But fantasy managers should be […]

Jimmy Graham, Khalil Mack Questionable Against Vikings

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham (hip) and outside linebacker Khalil Mack (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Vikings. Graham and Mack were both limited in practice on Friday, giving them a good shot to suit up. Even if Graham is active, he's an extremely unattractive touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2. Cole […]

Austin Hooper, David Njoku Questionable

Cleveland Browns tight ends Austin Hooper (neck) and David Njoku (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Cornerbacks Denzel Ward (calf) and Kevin Johnson (groin) are also questionable. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Ward and Hooper to play. Even though Hooper should be active, he's not a […]

Wyatt Teller Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Cleveland Browns offensive guard Wyatt Teller (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Teller is "week-to-week," so there's no guarantee he'll be back for Week 16. Teller's absence this weekend will be a downgrade to Cleveland's rushing attack, but Nick Chubb remains […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Drawing Plenty Of Interest

Free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is drawing interest from the Phillies, Cubs and Blue Jays, among other teams. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2020 season in which he posted a 118 OPS+, his best mark since 2016. The Red Sox also remain interested in re-signing Bradley despite recently adding outfielder Hunter Renfroe. "The door […]

Padres Interested In Sonny Gray

The San Diego Padres are looking for another starting pitcher and have interest in Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray. Mike Clevinger (elbow) is set to miss all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. San Diego's payroll in 2021 will likely be lower than last season's non-prorated Opening Day mark of around $150 […]

Trevor Bauer Too Expensive For The Reds

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is too expensive for the Cincinnati Reds, so he won't be returning to the team in 2021 and beyond. Bauer's National League Cy Young season in 2020 helped the team end their six-year playoff drought, however. The right-hander declined the team's $18.9 million qualifying offer in November, assuring that the […]

Daniel Jones, Evan Engram Questionable

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) and tight end Evan Engram (calf) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Browns. Jones has been extremely limited the last couple days and could be a game-time decision against Cleveland after tweaking his ankle in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals. The second-year […]

Matt Barnes Penciled In As Red Sox Closer

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that relief pitcher Matt Barnes is currently penciled in as the team's closer for the 2021 season. The 30-year-old right-hander had nine saves in 13 tries last year, with most of them coming after the club traded Brandon Workman to the Phillies. "If the season started tomorrow and […]

Red Sox Expect A Better J.D. Martinez In 2021

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora thinks outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez will have a much better season in 2021. Martinez was fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2018 after he hit 43 home runs and led the league with 130 RBI while helping the Red Sox to a franchise-record 108 wins and a […]

Brewers Confident Christian Yelich Will Bounce Back

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell is confident that former MVP outfielder Christian Yelich's 2020 hitting struggles won't carry over into the 2021 season. Yelich won consecutive National League batting titles in 2018 and 2019 in his first two years with the team, but he batted just .205 with 12 home runs and 22 RBI in […]

Brent Honeywell Jr. Has Another Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) had another right elbow surgery on Wednesday, but the team said it was a minor surgery and that it shouldn't impact Honeywell's availability for the 2021 season. The 25-year-old has had four surgeries on his right elbow since he last pitched in September of 2017 at […]

Michael Wacha Agrees With Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays signed right-hander Michael Wacha to a one-year, $3 million deal on Friday. Wacha will help fill the void left by the departure of right-handed veteran starter Charlie Morton. Wacha went 1-4 with a 6.62 ERA in eight outings (seven starts) for the Mets in the shortened 2020 season. The 29-year-old won […]

Alex Smith Ruled Out Against Seattle

The Washington Football Team has ruled out quarterback Alex Smith (calf) for Week 15 against the Seahawks. Dwayne Haskins, who opened the year as the starter under center, will be back in this Sunday. Washington was holding out hope that the veteran Smith could play this weekend despite not really practicing at all this week, […]

Jamison Crowder Questionable Against Rams

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be questionable for Week 15 against the Rams. The fact that Crowder was limited in practice this week gives him a decent shot at playing on Sunday, but he's also been held […]

Darius Slay Still In Concussion Protocol

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol. It's never a good sign when a player remains in the concussion protocol late in the week, so Slay should be considered highly questionable to play in Week 15 against the Cardinals. This is notable for Philly's […]

No Practice For Matthew Stafford Friday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) missed his third day of practice this week on Friday. "He's feeling better, but we're gonna see where that goes," head coach Darrell Bevell said. Bevell said earlier this week that Stafford won't need to practice to play in Week 15 against the Titans, so there's still a chance […]

Kenny Golladay Could Be Shut Down

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) really wants to come back, but they're at the point where they may need to shut him down for the rest of the 2020 season with just three games left, including Week 15. Golladay said he's dealing with a "muscle strain" […]

Alex Smith Doesn't Do Much Friday

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) wasn't able to do much of anything in practice on Friday, which isn't a great sign for his availability in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Smith's final designation has yet to be announced, but he might be lucky to receive a questionable tag at this point after missing […]

Donovan Smith Put On COVID-19 List, Ryan Succop Activated

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed left tackle Donovan Smith on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and removed kicker Ryan Succop, punter Bradley Pinion and long snapper Zach Triner from the list in corresponding moves. Smith will now be unavailable to play in Week 15 against the Falcons, which is bad news for quarterback Tom Brady. […]

Daniel Jones To See First-Team Reps Friday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) will "get his share" of the first-team snaps at practice on Friday. The Giants will keep a close eye on Jones' mobility as they decide whether to start him in Week 15 against the Browns on Sunday night. The Giants listed […]

Devonta Freeman Returns To Practice

New York Giants running back Devonta Freeman (ankle) has returned to practice, opening the three-week window for the team to activate him from Injured Reserve. Freeman was officially activated from the COVID-19 list on Thursday after being placed on it two weeks ago. The former Falcons back could play in Week 15 against the Browns […]
