Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) will be activated from Injured Reserve before Sunday's game against the Chargers, but "we haven't decided yet" if Lock will start over Brandon Allen. All signs are pointing to Lock starting his first NFL game after he saw most of the first-team […]

Jordan Scarlett Placed On Injured Reserve
The Carolina Panthers placed rookie running back Jordan Scarlett (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday and signed offensive lineman Brad Lundblade to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Scarlett, a fifth-round pick, only had four carries for nine yards on Oct. 27 against the 49ers for his only action in […]

Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor Will Play Against Dolphins
Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and were taken off the final injury report for Week 13 against the Dolphins. It's great news for quarterback Carson Wentz in an excellent matchup. The matchup couldn't be any nicer for both Jeffery and Agholor, but both […]

Zach Ertz, Jordan Howard Questionable
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) and running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 13 against the Dolphins. There is optimism that Ertz will suit up after he practiced on Friday, but you'll need to check back for Sunday morning's inactives. Ertz continues to […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not On Final Injury Report
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) was limited in practice all week but was removed from the final injury report for Week 13 against the Steelers. Beckham wasn't really in danger of missing this game, so you can leave him in your lineups as a solid WR2. OBJ had four catches (10 targets) […]

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 […]
