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 […]

The Minnesota Vikings waived wide receiver Tajae Sharpe on Monday after signing him in free agency.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Eagles Defense Loses Rodney McLeod To Torn ACL

Philadelphia Eagles safety Rodney McLeod (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 14 upset win over the Saints on Sunday and will miss the rest of the 2020 season.

Jalen Hurts To Start Again In Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will make his second career start in Week 15 against the Cardinals after leading the team to an upset win over the Saints in his first career NFL start on Sunday.

Tyreek Hill Is Fine After Hamstring Cramp

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) pulled up and grabbed his leg in the Week 14 win over the Dolphins, but it was just a cramp and he should be fine for Week 15 against the Saints. After a down week against the Broncos in Week 13, Hill bounced back for his fantasy […]

Saivion Smith Suffers Broken Hand

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Saivion Smith (hand), who impressed in coverage in the Week 14 win over the Bengals, suffered a broken hand midway through the game but came back in and played, according to a source.

Doug Pederson Mum On Jalen Hurts Starting Another Game

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson wouldn't name a starter at quarterback for Week 15 against the Cardinals despite rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts playing very well in the upset win over the Saints in his first career start in Week 14. However, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says it's basically a foregone conclusion that Hurts -- […]

Jamal Adams Makes NFL History

Seattle Seahawks defensive back Jamal Adams raised his sack total to 8.5 on the season in the blowout win over the Jets in Week 14, breaking the record for most sacks in a single season by a defensive back. Adams has missed some time this year due to injury in his first season in Seattle, […]

Matthew Stafford In A Lot Of Pain

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib) was in a lot of pain following a rib injury that knocked him out of the Week 14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
