KeeSean Johnson A Healthy Scratch

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Keesean Johnson is a healthy scratch for Week 13 against the Rams with running back Chase Edmonds returning to the game-day roster. The first-year wideout doesn't have more than three receptions in the 10 games he's played in this year, and he's gone for only 187 yards and one touchdown. […]

Greg Olsen Being Evaluated For Concussion

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (concussion) is being evaluated for a head injury after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit in Week 13 against the Redskins. The veteran tight end had just two catches for 14 yards before suffering the head injury, and there's a good chance he won't make it back into this game in […]

Nick Foles Benched Against Buccaneers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles was benched in the second half of the Week 13 game against the Buccaneers. In a great matchup with Tampa's generous secondary, Foles laid an egg. He went 7-for-14 for 93 yards, an interception and two lost fumbles. Electric rookie Gardner Minshew took over and could start under center the […]

Trey Quinn Knocked Out With Concussion

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 13 against the Panthers and has been ruled out for the rest of the contest. Quinn came up empty on his only target in the game before leaving. With Paul Richardson inactive on Sunday, the Redskins are now down to rookies Terry McLaurin, […]

Chester Rogers Injured Against Titans

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Chester Rogers (knee) was injured in Week 13 against the Titans and will miss the rest of the game. With T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) inactive on Sunday, the Colts are down to just Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson and Ashton Dulin. Expect them to continue to lean on the […]

Kalen Ballage Carted Off In Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage (leg) was carted off the field with a leg injury in Week 13 against the Eagles. It had the looks of a potential season-ender, so brace for the worst if you own Ballage. Miami's lead running back had only three attempts and gained zero yards on the ground before […]

Chris Sale Cleared To Throw

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale (elbow) had his follow-up exam with Dr. James Andrews, who administered a platelet-rich plasma injection into Sale's elbow in August, before Thanksgiving. The results were positive and Sale is now in the clear to start throwing with an eye on taking part in spring training next year. The […]

Cowboys Could Lose Amari Cooper, Byron Jones

There has been no progress on new deals for Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott, wide receiver Amari Cooper and cornerback Byron Jones, who are all eligible for free agency after this season, according to sources. Prescott has built a case to become the highest paid quarterback in the league and he's the team's priority. The […]

J.J. Watt Could Return For Playoffs

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt (pectoral) could return from Injured Reserve this season, according to sources. There is optimism that he can return for the playoffs just three months after tearing his pectoral muscle. Watt had four sacks and 20 quarterback hits in eight games before his injury, so getting him back for a […]

Titans Could Use Franchise Tag On Ryan Tannehill

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has put himself in position for a possible franchise tag in 2020, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Tannehill has been excellent under center since replacing Marcus Mariota, leading the team to a 4-1 record and putting them in a position to win their division. Tennessee is averaging […]

Devin Funchess Not Expected To Come Off IR

The Indianapolis Colts don't plan on activating wide receiver Devin Funchess (collarbone) off Injured Reserve by the deadline of Dec. 4, according to sources. It means that Funchess' 2019 season is over. He's recovering from a fractured collarbone suffered in the season opener, and the plate inserted into his bone didn't work out as hoped. […]

Mohamed Sanu, Phillip Dorsett Expected To Play Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) are both expected to play on Sunday night against the Texans, according to sources. Sanu was very close to suiting up last week against the Cowboys, so he should be back for this one. It's hard to forecast heavy targets for either Sanu […]

Von Miller Trending In Right Direction

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (knee), who is considered 50-50 for Week 13 against the Chargers, is trending in the right direction to play, according to a source. Miller has played through injuries before and has a positive outlook. The former Super Bowl MVP has a total of 35 tackles and six sacks on […]

Drew Lock Will Start Against Chargers

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) will make his first NFL start in Week 13 against the Chargers, according to league sources. Lock should be a step up from Brandon Allen to close out the season, but he's raw and will be inconsistent in his first taste of NFL action. The Chargers are getting […]

Miles Boykin, Nick Boyle Active

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Miles Boykin (ankle) and tight end Nick Boyle (ankle) are both active for Week 13 against the 49ers. In this tough matchup against San Francisco, neither players should be in starting lineups. Boykin is a speed threat in his first NFL season, but he has only 11 catches for 185 […]

Parris Campbell Out, Mo Alie-Cox Active In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (hand) is inactive in Week 13 against the Titans, but tight end Mo Alie-Cox (thumb) will play. Campbell is getting really close to a return, so we'd expect him to be back for Week 14. However, in a crowded receiving corps on a run-first team, Campbell is unlikely […]

Tajae Sharpe Ruled Out For Week 13

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (hamstring) is out for Week 13 against the Colts. Sharpe was downgraded to questionable for this Sunday's game on Saturday, and now he's officially out. As no better than the fourth receiving option on a run-first team, Sharpe predictably has done very little (13 catches, 194 yards, two touchdowns) […]

Chris Thompson Active Against Panthers

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is officially active for Week 13 against the Panthers. With Thompson back in the fold to help catch passes out of the backfield, Wendell Smallwood is a healthy scratch this week. The 29-year-old hasn't played since Oct. 13, so he could also have his snaps limited. In Washington's […]

Miles Sanders To See Bulk Of Carries

With Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) out in Week 13 against the Dolphins, rookie Miles Sanders is expected to see the bulk of the carries in the backfield. Sanders' workload has increased each of the last three weeks with Howard sidelined, and that will continue this weekend. The matchup couldn't be any better […]

Tajae Sharpe Questionable Against Colts

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tajae Sharpe (hamstring) has been downgraded to questionable for Week 13 against the Colts. Sharpe has only 13 receptions on 21 targets for 194 yards and two touchdowns in nine games this year, so he's been off the fantasy radar the entire season. A.J. Brown and Corey Davis remain the Titans […]

Jeff Driskel Heads To Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and signed quarterback Kyle Sloter to the active roster from the Cardinals practice squad in a corresponding move. Detroit also signed quarterback Joe Callahan to the practice squad. Driskel wasn't terrible in a couple outings in place of Matthew Stafford (back), and […]

David Njoku Won't Play In Week 13

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (wrist) won't come off the Injured Reserve to play in Week 13 against the Steelers. Njoku says he's ready to go, but head coach Freddie Kitchens said they're still working through some things. Njoku has been out since suffering his injury in Week 2, but it looks like he'll […]

Tyler Lockett Good To Go For Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (illness, shin) was taken off the final injury report for Monday night against the Vikings. After two straight 100-yard performances on Oct. 27 and Nov. 3, Lockett followed that up with just four catches for 64 yards the last two weeks against the Eagles and 49ers. Another tough matchup […]

Week 13 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

While most people will be out trying to score deals of a lifetime at their local stores this weekend, some of us are still trying to find a way to get into the fantasy playoffs. It's do-or-die week for many teams with just one week until the fantasy playoffs begin. With your stomachs full of […]

Damarious Randall Won't Play In Week 13

Cleveland Browns safety Damarious Randall has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Steelers due to a coaching decision. Whatever the real reason may be, Cleveland's secondary will be weaker in this divisional tilt on Sunday. However, it remains to be seen if Steelers quarterback Devlin Hodges can take advantage while also missing starting […]

Jason McCourty Out For Patriots Defense

New England Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) has been ruled out for the second straight game for Week 13 against the Texans on Sunday night. It's a downgrade for New England's defense against a Houston wideout corps featuring DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Kenny Stills. The Pats defense has been strong all year, but they […]

Phillies Interested In Dellin Betances, Austin Romine

The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in relief pitcher Dellin Betances and catcher Austin Romine, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The Phillies have also been linked to shortstop Didi Gregorius. It makes more sense now that manager Joe Girardi, who coached this trio with the Yankees, is the skipper of the Phillies. […]

Blue Jays Could Go After Zack Wheeler

The Toronto Blue Jays top priority this winter is to improve their starting rotation, and starting pitcher Zack Wheeler could be at the top of their wish list. Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg aren't realistic options. The 29-year-old Wheeler went 11-8 with a 3.96 ERA and 195 strikeouts over 195 1/3 innings. The right-hander is […]

Bears Put Adam Shaheen On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed tight end Adam Shaheen (foot) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, ending his season. Shaheen failed to capitalize this year with Trey Burton injured and ineffective for most of the year. The 25-year-old had just nine receptions for 74 yards and no touchdowns in eight games after securing just five catches for […]

Derwin James, Adrian Phillips Activated From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers activated safeties Derwin James (foot) and Adrian Phillips (forearm) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. James, an All-Pro in his rookie season in 2018, practiced all week without any issues and will make his season debut in Week 13 against the Broncos. Head coach Anthony Lynn said he will closely monitor both […]
