Broncos Defense Slows Down The Chiefs In Week 13

The Denver Broncos Defense looked really impressive in the Week 13 Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs and their exciting and high-scoring offense. In their first meeting in Week 7, Denver allowed 40-plus points in the snow, so this was certainly an improvement against the defending Super Bowl champions. It was even more impressive […]

Brandon McManus Misses Second Field Goal Of The Season

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made a 53-yard field goal in the 22-16 Week 13 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night, but he also missed just his second field-goal attempt on the year -- a 57-yard try at the end of the first half. He made his only extra point in the contest. Despite […]

Jerry Jeudy Hits Rock Bottom In Week 13

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was touted as the best route-running wideout in the 2020 draft class. Jeudy no doubt is impressive in that aspect for a young player, but quarterback Drew Lock's regression in his second season has hurt the rookie's fantasy value. The 21-year-old had just one catch on four targets […]

K.J. Hamler Catches Just Two Passes Sunday

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler did very little in the 22-16 loss to the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night. The rookie caught only two of his five targets for 16 yards in the contest. Hamler also added two carries for 13 yards in the second loss of the season to Kansas City. The […]

Tim Patrick Scores Twice In Loss To KC

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick scored the team's only two touchdowns in the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night. Patrick was efficient, too, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards. The 27-year-old has been a nice story for the Broncos this year as their most reliable pass-catcher to help […]

Noah Fant Leads Broncos In Receiving Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant led the team with 57 receiving yards by catching four of his team-leading seven targets in the 22-16 Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs. While Fant's fantasy managers would've liked more, it was his second time going over 50 receiving yards in the last three games. The second-year […]

Phillip Lindsay Puts Up Another Dud

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay has been dropped in most fantasy leagues as the second fiddle to Melvin Gordon III in Denver's backfield. Lindsay saw double-digit carries (14) for just the third time this year in the Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs, but he totaled only 26 rushing yards (1.86 yards per […]

Melvin Gordon III Carries The Offense Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III looked excellent in the 22-16 loss to the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. Gordon carried the ball 15 times for a season-high 131 rushing yards (8.73 yards per attempt) while also adding one catch for 11 yards. It was a great performance and allowed Denver […]

Drew Lock Throws Two More Picks Sunday Night

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock returned to action in Week 13 against the Chiefs on Sunday night after sitting out in Week 12 due to COVID-19 protocols. Lock did throw two touchdown passes in the 22-16 loss, but he was 15-for-28 for 151 yards and two more interceptions. It was the first time he's been […]

Ravens Activate Lamar Jackson From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated quarterback Lamar Jackson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he will play on Tuesday against the Cowboys. This comes as music to fantasy managers' ears if you were planning on using Jackson as your QB for the Week 13 slate of games. With Robert Griffin III (hamstring) going on Injured […]

Trent Brown Activated From COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders are activating offensive tackle Trent Brown from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, the team is releasing defensive tackle Daniel Ross, with plans to put Ross on the practice squad in order to have him active on game day. Brown has missed the last […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To Play In Week 14

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is expected to return in Week 14 against the Broncos after having the bye week to rest up, according to head coach Matt Rhule. McCaffrey missed the last three games with the shoulder ailment but should be pretty close to 100 percent healthy this weekend against Denver. It's […]

Curtis Samuel Goes On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers have placed eight players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after coming off their bye week, and wide receiver Curtis Samuel is one of them. Samuel was deemed a high-risk close contact, so he'll have to test negative this week in order to be cleared to play in Week 14 against the […]

Buccaneers Waiving Jaydon Mickens

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are waiving wide receiver/kick returner Jaydon Mickens on Monday, according to a source. Mickens has been productive for the team this year, catching seven passes and returning 21 kicks/punts. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week 9, though, and had just 58 receiving yards on his seven receptions this season. Mickens didn't […]

Chargers Not Ready To Fire Anthony Lynn

The Los Angeles Chargers were shut out in their Week 13 loss to the Patriots, but no head-coaching change is imminent, according to sources. The organization has a lot of respect for head coach Anthony Lynn and would prefer to evaluate everything at the end of the season. Lynn led the Bolts to an AFC-best […]

Phillies Not Looking To Trade Zack Wheeler

Philadelphia Phillies managing general partner John Middleton said that the team isn't looking to trade starting pitcher Zack Wheeler. "If they offered me Babe Ruth, I wouldn't trade him," Middleton said angrily in a phone conversation, adding Ted Williams and Mike Schmidt to Ruth's name for good measure. Middleton said there is no truth to […]

D.J. Moore Going On COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is among the players being added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list with the team coming off their bye week, according to a source informed of the situation. It's unknown if Moore tested positive for the virus or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact to someone who did. Regardless, […]

Giants Optimistic That Daniel Jones Will Play This Week

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said the team will give quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) "every opportunity" to play in Week 14 against the Cardinals. There is optimism in the organization that Jones will be able to return after missing the Week 13 upset win over the Seahawks. Backup Colt McCoy effectively played the […]

Darius Slay's Injury Isn't Serious

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (knee) left the team's Week 13 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he's not believed to have suffered a serious injury, according to a source. It's good news for an Eagles secondary that will have a tall task against the Saints in Week 14. If Slay can […]

Jets Fire Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams

The New York Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Monday, according to sources. It comes a day after Williams called a zero blitz against the Raiders in a hail-mary situation with the game on the line in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. That play call backfired catastrophically, as the Raiders threw a […]

Le'Raven Clark Could Be Lost For The Season

The preliminary diagnosis on Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Le'Raven Clark (Achilles) is that he suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 13 win over the Texans, according to a source. Clark will have an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. It would be a big loss for the team's offensive line, as Clark […]

Eagles Haven't Decided A Starting QB For Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that he hasn't decided on the team's starting quarterback for Week 14 against the Saints after Carson Wentz was benched for rookie Jalen Hurts in the Week 13 loss to the Packers. Wentz went 6-for-15 for 79 yards while running the ball three times for 18 […]

Mitch Haniger Avoids Arbitration

The Seattle Mariners and outfielder Mitch Haniger avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed $3.01 million deal on Saturday, according to sources. Haniger slashed just .220/.314/.463 in 63 games while adding 15 home runs and 32 RBI in 2019 and hasn't played since June of that same season. The 29-year-old had a breakout […]

Gio Urshela Out Three Months After Elbow Surgery

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) underwent surgery on Friday to remove a bone chip from his right elbow and is expected to be out for three months. He'll likely miss around half of spring training, which is set to begin in mid-February. Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a […]

Jets Release Chris Hogan

The New York Jets released wide receiver Chris Hogan on Saturday. The wideout had 14 catches for 118 yards in five games before he landed on the Injured Reserve in October with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 5. It's never a good sign when you're released by an 0-11 team, but Hogan's injury surely […]

Packers Place Corey Linsley On Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday, meaning he'll have to sit out the next three games. In a corresponding move, the team elevated offensive guard Ben Braden from the practice squad to the active roster as a COVID-19 replacement. Tight end Dominique Dafney was also elevated from […]

Devonta Freeman Put On COVID-19 List

The New York Giants placed running back Devonta Freeman (ankle), who is already on Injured Reserve, on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Freeman was eligible to come off IR, but it looks like he'll miss some more time. The Giants haven't really missed him with Wayne Gallman stepping up as the lead back ahead of […]

Marquez Callaway Placed On Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (knee) suffered a minor knee sprain in the Week 12 win over the Broncos, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after being placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins was also activated from IR. With Callaway sidelined, Deonte Harris […]

Terry McLaurin Questionable Against Steelers

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle), defensive end Ryan Anderson (knee) and offensive tackle Morgan Moses (groin) are questionable for Week 13 against the Steelers on Monday. McLaurin got in a full practice on Saturday, so he should be good to go for this week. The second-year pass-catcher has WR1 upside almost every […]

Ben Roethlisberger, Chris Boswell Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) and kicker Chris Boswell (hip) are both listed as questionable for Week 13 against Washington on Monday. Roethlisberger didn't practice all week, but the Steelers also list him with a non-injury, so it's likely that they just gave the 17-year veteran some extra rest after a Wednesday game in […]
