New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said that the team wants to activate left tackle Isaiah Wynn (toe) from Injured Reserve this week.

Evan Engram Absent On Monday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) was absent from practice on Monday coming out of the bye week. Engram isn't off on the right foot to return to action in Week 12 against the Bears, so fantasy owners should make plans to be without him. With that being said, he still has the […]

Bears Not Giving Up On Eddy Pineiro

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro missed two more field goals -- one from 47 yards and one from 48 yards out -- in Sunday night's loss to the Rams. Pineiro was 8-for-10 on his field goals and perfect on extra points going into the bye week, but he's hitting just 50 percent of his kicks […]

The Denver Broncos are expected to ride running back Phillip Lindsay more in the backfield over Royce Freeman in Week 11 against the Vikings on the road.

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee, illness, ribs) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) are both active for Week 11 against the Redskins.

Adrian Peterson Expected To Remain The Starter

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson is expected to remain the starter in Week 11 against the Jets despite Derrius Guice (knee) returning for the first time since the season opener, according to a source.

Miles Sanders Expected To Lead Backfield Over Jay Ajayi

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders is expected to get most of the work in the backfield in Week 11 against the Patriots over recently signed running back Jay Ajayi with Jordan Howard (shoulder) out.

Marquise Brown Will Play Against Texans

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle), who is questionable for Week 11 against the Texans, will play on Sunday, according to a source.
