James Conner Doubtful For Week 13

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) is doubtful to play in Week 13 against the Browns. Conner just isn't ready to return to the team's backfield, but Week 14 is a realistic target at this point. Continue to leave him on your bench. Pittsburgh's offense is a shell of its former self with wide […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Ruled Out Against Browns

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Browns. Smith-Schuster's knee injury is what is keeping him out of this weekend's game, and he might not be a lock to return in Week 14. He's been one of the biggest wide receiver busts in 2019. James […]

Derrick Henry On Track To Play

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) has gotten the work that he needs this week and is on track to play in Week 13 against the Colts. Henry should suit up this Sunday and is a must-start RB1 after going for over 100 yards in back-to-back games while […]

No Structural Damage For Amari Cooper

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper's (knee) MRI exam on his left knee showed no structural damage, according to a source. Cooper took a hit to his knee in the fourth quarter of the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Bills but was able to return to the game. He was limping noticeably after the game, […]

Tyreek Hill Will Be Available Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) will be available for Week 13 against the Raiders after leaving early in the Week 11 win over the Chargers. Luckily for Hill and his fantasy owners, he had the Week 12 bye to heal up. The speedster missed the first meeting with the Raiders earlier this […]

Damien Williams Ruled Out

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Raiders. The backfield will feature LeSean McCoy, Darrel Williams and maybe Darwin Thompson against Oakland. With Shady and Williams potentially splitting touches down the middle, both will be on the RB2/3 borderline, with McCoy being the more attractive […]

Scott Miller Ruled Out For Sunday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scott Miller (hamstring) missed practice the last two days and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Jaguars. With Miller out of the fold, Breshad Perriman should serve as the No. 3 wideout behind studs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Perriman has only hauled in 11 of his […]

Albert Wilson, Allen Hurns Good To Go

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Albert Wilson (chest, hip) and Allen Hurns (ankle) both practiced fully on Friday and are good to go for Week 13 against the Eagles. Wilson has just 20 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown in eight games this year and is behind Devante Parker and Hurns in the pecking order […]

Starling Marte Open To Being Traded

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Starling Marte, who has two years left on his contract at $11.5 million in 2020 and a $12.5 million option for 2021, is open to being traded to a contending team this winter. The Mets have been linked with the All-Star outfielder, and Marte said it would be "an honor to play […]

Paul Richardson Ruled Out Against Panthers

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Panthers. Richardson has done next to nothing for fantasy owners this year and remains firmly on waiver wires. Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon and Trey Quinn should be the team's top three receivers. Washington's offense is extremely hard to trust […]

Chris Thompson Expected To Play In Week 13

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Panthers. Thompson has been out since Week 6 with turf toe. His return will throw another wrench in a backfield that has already been rotating Derrius Guice and Adrian Peterson. Thompson is mostly a pass-catcher on third downs, but […]

David Njoku Up In The Air For Week 13

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said the team hasn't decided if tight end David Njoku (wrist) will play in Week 13 against the Steelers. Njoku is currently on Injured Reserve, but the Browns could choose to activate him before Sunday. Demetrius Harris and Ricky Seals-Jones have been splitting snaps at the position with Njoku […]

A.J. Green Ruled Out For Week 13

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Jets. Green hasn't played all season, and at this point it'd be a surprise if he returns for one of the four remaining contests for the winless Bengals. Tyler Boyd, Auden Tate and Alex […]

Falcons Won't Make Coaching Change Before Week 14

The Atlanta Falcons won't make a coaching change before their Week 14 game, according to a source. The Falcons lost again on Thanksgiving night to the Saints and are now a disappointing 3-9 on the season and well out of playoff contention. Head coach Dan Quinn has been on the hot seat for much of […]

Falcons Sticking With Younghoe Koo

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said the team will stick with kicker Younghoe Koo after he missed an extra point and a field goal in the Thanksgiving loss to the Saints. It was a rough game for Koo on Thursday, especially indoors, but he has made 12 of his 14 field-goal attempts for Atlanta […]

Drew Lock Expected To Start Sunday

All signs are pointing towards Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) coming off Injured Reserve to start in Week 13 against the Chargers after he took first-team repetitions in practice all week, according to a source. He'd be replacing Brandon Allen, who wasn't all that effective while standing in for the injured Joe Flacco. […]

Evan Engram, Rhett Ellison Ruled Out

New York Giants tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 13 against the Packers. The Giants will also be missing wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion), so their offense will be undermanned against Green Bay. Rookie Kaden Smith played most of the snaps last week with Engram […]

Patriots Release Nick Folk

The New England Patriots released kicker Nick Folk (appendix) on Friday after signing Kai Forbath to replace the injured kicker in Week 13 against the Texans. Folk made seven of his nine field-goal tries and all three extra points in three games for the Patriots while replacing the injured Stephen Gostkowski. It's possible that the […]

Dante Pettis' Injury Isn't Serious

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee), who left Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, is just dealing with a sprain and his injury isn't a cause for concern, according to a source. Pettis' status for Week 13 against the Ravens is uncertain, but he shouldn't have any long-term issues. It doesn't really matter […]

Cowboys Sticking With Jason Garrett

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he is sticking with head coach Jason Garrett despite the team losing four of their last five games. "This is not the time for me [to make a coaching change]," Jones said. "I'm looking ahead at another ballgame. I'm looking ahead at winning four or five straight and helping […]

Patrick Peterson Interested In Talking New Deal

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Patrick Peterson, who has one year left on his five-year, $70 million extension that he signed in 2015, sounds ready to discuss a new contract extension. There haven't been any talks yet about an extension, however. "I mean, I’m always up for contract negotiations. But no talks have happened just yet. I’m […]

Jordan Howard Still Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is still not cleared for contact on Friday, making it unlikely that he suits up for Week 13 against the Dolphins. You should be planning to be without Howard for the third straight game. That means that rookie Miles Sanders and Jay Ajayi should again share the backfield […]

Optimism Surrounding Zach Ertz

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) will practice on Friday, and there is optimism about his status for Week 13 against the Dolphins. Ertz may still be questionable on the final injury report, but it looks like he has a good chance to suit up in an excellent matchup against Miami. If Ertz is […]

Falcons Won't Shut Down Julio Jones, Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said he's not considering shutting down wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) or quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) for the final four games of the season. Jones sat out Thursday night against the Saints. Ryan's ankle is recovered, but he's taken 15 sacks in the last two games. They'll both have […]

Patriots Expected To Sign Kai Forbath

The New England Patriots are expected to sign kicker Kai Forbath to replace Nick Folk (appendix) for Week 13 against the Texans, according to sources. Forbath kicked in three games for the Jaguars last year and was the Vikings full-time kicker in 2017. Kicking for the Patriots is typically a good thing since their offense […]

Chase Edmonds On Track To Return

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Edmonds is on track to play in Week 13 against the Rams. With David Johnson still hobbled and playing second fiddle to the effective Kenyan Drake in this backfield, Edmonds could be the backup against LA […]

Gerald Everett Misses Practice Again

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Everett hyperextended his knee in the Monday night loss to the Ravens and is in serious danger of missing Week 13 against the Cardinals in an excellent matchup. Arizona is one of the worst teams at defending the […]

T.J. Hockenson On Crutches After Thanksgiving Game

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (undisclosed) was spotted on crutches after the Thanksgiving loss to the Bears on Thursday. With just four games left in the season, it's possible that Detroit chooses to shut down their rookie in a lost year. Hockenson caught six of 11 targets for only 18 yards on Thursday. […]

Mike Williams Gets In Full Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Williams was always expected to play this Sunday after coming off the Week 12 bye. His matchup against the Broncos on the road with a struggling quarterback in Philip Rivers isn't ideal, though. Denver has […]

No Practice For Dante Pettis

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday. Pettis suffered a knee injury during practice on Wednesday and is now seriously in doubt to face the Ravens in Week 13. Even if Pettis were to suit up this weekend, he is completely off the fantasy radar after failing […]
