Eric Kendricks Won't Play Against Buccaneers

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Kendricks will be missing his second straight game with the leg injury. He's been a top-five fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues this year, so fantasy managers will need to go in another direction. Kendricks has 69 total tackles, six […]

Antonio Gibson Ruled Out Against 49ers

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the 49ers. The impressive rookie suffered a painful case of turf toe early in the Week 13 win over the Steelers and never returned to action. Turf-toe injuries can linger, especially for running backs, so don't consider it […]

Salvon Ahmed Out Against Chiefs

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that rookie running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) and offensive guard Ereck Flowers (ankle) will not play in Week 14 against the Chiefs. The 21-year-old Ahmed hasn't played since Week 11. He was trending up as the team's lead back with Myles Gaskin (knee) on Injured Reserve in Weeks […]

Continue To Avoid The Broncos Defense

The Denver Broncos Defense put on a nice display against the Chiefs high-octane offense last Sunday night in the Week 13 loss, but despite the impressive display in slowing down Patrick Mahomes, they still barely moved the needle fantasy wise. They'll catch a break in Week 14 with Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) […]

Brandon McManus A Victim Of Subpar Offense

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus would be an elite fantasy kicker if he was in a different offense this year. He's missed only two of is 24 field-goal attempts in 12 games, and both of those misses came from 50-plus yards. McManus has been perfect everywhere else, outside of missing his lone extra point in […]

Christian McCaffrey Doubtful For Week 14

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) is doubtful for Week 14 against the Broncos after not practicing on Friday. McCaffrey tweaked his quad working out last week and will now miss his fourth straight game. The 24-year-old All-Pro also missed six weeks earlier this year with a high-ankle sprain, so he's been an […]

Noah Fant Could Deliver Against Panthers

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant scored in the first two weeks of the season but hasn't been able to visit the end zone since. He hasn't been terrible since, but he's leaving a lot to be desired from his fantasy managers. Fant led the team in receiving in the Week 13 loss to the […]

K.J. Hamler Has Been A Non-Factor Lately

In the last two games, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler has a grand total of two catches on five targets for 16 yards. Excluding the debacle in Week 12 against the Saints, Hamler has six receptions on 11 targets for 51 yards in his last two performances with quarterback Drew Lock active. The […]

Tim Patrick Coming Off Two-Touchdown Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick had just four catches for 44 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs, but he rewarded his fantasy managers by finding the end zone twice to move his total to five touchdowns on the season. Patrick has been outperforming expectations all season long with Courtland Sutton (knee) […]

Melvin Gordon III Looking To Keep Momentum

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had his best game of the season in last week's loss to the Chiefs, rushing for a season-high 131 yards on 15 carries. He also had one catch for 11 yards. The problem is that Phillip Lindsay continues to be a thorn in Gordon's side with the two […]

Mike Evans Good To Go For Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) had a hamstring scare earlier in the week but that the wideout will be good to go for Week 14 against the Vikings after he returned to practice on Friday. Evans has been seeing slightly more targets over the last three […]

Steelers Activate Maurkice Pouncey From COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers activated center Maurkice Pouncey from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Pouncey has missed the team's last two games against the Ravens and the Washington Football Team, and the offense has struggled in both of those games. But the Steelers are getting both Pouncey and running back James Conner back in Week 14 […]

Frank Gore Remains In Concussion Protocol

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury on the first drive of the game last week. At this point so late in the week, it's unlikely that Gore will be available to play in Week 14 against the Seahawks. Ty Johnson stepped up […]

Jamison Crowder Questionable Against Seahawks

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is questionable for Week 14 against the Seahawks. Crowder was added to the injury report on Thursday and was limited in practice, as he's been fighting through soft-tissue injuries for most of the year. With rookie Denzel Mims out with personal issues, Crowder would be in line […]

Curtis Samuel, Shaq Thompson Activated From COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers activated wide receiver Curtis Samuel, linebacker Shaq Thompson and defensive tackle Derrick Brown from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. All three are practicing after having been deemed high-risk close contacts. D.J. Moore tested positive early this week and won't play in Week 14 against Denver, giving Samuel and Robby Anderson more upside. […]

Cubs Could Hang On To Kris Bryant

Chicago Cubs president Jed Hoyer said he "absolutely" sees a path in which third baseman Kris Bryant could remain with the team in 2021.

David Johnson Might Not Make Trip To Chicago

Houston Texans interim head coach Romeo Crennel said that running back David Johnson may not make the trip to Chicago to face the Bears in Week 14 due to a personal issue that has caused him to miss practice. Johnson returned from injury in Week 13 and ran the ball 10 times for 44 yards […]

Jason Peters To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that offensive tackle Jason Peters (toe) will have toe surgery and will miss the rest of the 2020 season. It's more bad news for a once solid Eagles offensive line that has been decimated by injuries this year. Peters made the move from left tackle to right guard […]

D'Andre Swift Trending In The Right Direction

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that rookie running back D'Andre Swift (illness), who has missed the last three games with a concussion and an illness, is trending in the right direction to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Green Bay's defense is extremely vulnerable on the ground, allowing the third-most fantasy […]

Julio Jones Out Against Chargers

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Chargers. Interim head coach Raheem Morris said the team will decide at another time whether to shut Jones down for the rest of the season after he's now missed four games this season with the same ailment. It's the […]

Richard Sherman May Not Be Back In 2021

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman said it would take something out of the ordinary for him to return to the team in 2021.
