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 […]

Red Sox Showing Interest In Eddie Rosario

The Boston Red Sox have some interest in free-agent outfielder Eddie Rosario after he was non-tendered by the Twins on Wednesday, according to sources. Rosario would likely have to play right field in Fenway Park, but manager Alex Cora selected Rosario to play for Team Puerto Rico during the 2017 World Baseball Classic. Andrew Benintendi […]

Red Sox Acquire Minor-Leaguer Christian Koss

The Boston Red Sox acquired minor league infielder Christian Koss from the Colorado Rockies on Thursday in exchange for minor league left-handed pitcher Yoan Aybar. The 22-year-old Koss was a 12th-round pick in 2019 and was an All-Star in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in 2019. He hit .332 (63-for-190) with 11 home runs, 51 RBI, […]

Ravens Not Tipping Their Hand On Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't say whether reigning NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson would play on Tuesday night against the Cowboys in Week 13 after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and sat out of the loss to the Steelers on Wednesday. He'll complete his 10-day quarantine this weekend, and he could […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out Sick Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and cornerback Bashaud Breeland missed Thursday's practice with a non-COVID-19-related illness. You'll want to keep an eye on Edwards-Helaire's practice status on Friday. If for some reason he can't face the division-rival Broncos in Week 13, Le'Veon Bell would vault into the RB2 conversation. CEH was a […]

Phillip Lindsay Trending Towards Playing Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday. It gives him a chance to play in Week 13 on Sunday night against the division-rival Chiefs. Lindsay was injured in the blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12 and had just nine carries for 20 […]

Josh Allen Lands On Week 13 Injury Report

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (ankle, knee) was on the team's Week 13 injury report on Thursday, but he was a full participant in practice. Allen should be all systems go for Week 13 against the 49ers on Monday night. San Francisco's defense has been getting healthier and improving in recent weeks and have been […]

Deebo Samuel Held Out As Precaution

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was held out of practice as a precaution on Thursday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Samuel proved that he was fully healthy in his return in Week 12 against the Rams by catching 11 passes for 133 yards. That should ease any concerns that fantasy managers […]

Dalvin Cook Remains Limited In Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. Cook was banged up in the Week 12 win over the Panthers, but the Vikings continue to downplay his injury and he should be fine for Week 13 against the Jaguars and their terrible defense. […]

Nick Foles Expected To Be Backup Against Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles (hip) returned to a full practice on Thursday and is expected to serve as the backup to Mitchell Trubisky in Week 13 against the Lions. Until Trubisky either plays his way out of the starting job again or gets injured, it looks like Foles will hold the clipboard on the […]

Khalil Mack Expected To Play Sunday

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (back) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but head coach Matt Nagy said Mack was held out as a precaution and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Lions. The 29-year-old pass-rusher should be ready to go if he can get in a limited practice […]

A.J. Brown, Jonnu Smith Sit Out Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (hip) and tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) were sidelined at practice on Thursday. Brown wasn't on the injury report on Wednesday, so this is something to watch. As long as he practices on Friday, he should be good to go for Week 13 against the Browns as a must-start […]

Zach Ertz Gets In Limited Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Ertz was also limited on Wednesday and appears likely to make his return from Injured Reserve in Week 13 against the Packers. He's been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 6. His return will […]

Josh Jacobs, Nelson Agholor Miss Another Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) and safety Johnathan Abram (knee) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jacobs hurt his fantasy managers in Week 12 when he had just 10 touches in the loss to the Falcons before leaving with an injury. Both he and […]

Salvon Ahmed Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis on Thursday. Ahmed was also limited on Wednesday after missing the Week 13 win over the Jets. The impressive youngster had 33 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for 36 yards in Weeks 10 and 11 with […]
