Austin Hooper Expected To Practice Monday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee), who has missed the last three games with an MCL injury, is expected to return to practice on Monday after he did some running on the side last week. He has a real shot at returning in Week 14 to face the Panthers. Hooper has 56 catches for […]

Josh Hader Available For Trade

Milwaukee Brewers closer Josh Hader is available in a trade this offseason, according to major league sources. "We listen on a wide variety of players throughout the offseason. A lot of players get discussed," general manager David Stearns said. Hader has been the best left-handed reliever in baseball the last few seasons, winning the Trevor […]

Sam Darnold Expected To Be Fine

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) was seen limping near the end of the Week 13 loss to the Bengals, but he downplayed his injury. Head coach Adam Gase said, "He just took some shots on the last drive. He kind of got torqued a little bit, but he should be all right." Darnold […]

Broncos Defense To Be Without Von Miller

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (knee) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chargers. It's Miller's first absence since the 2013 season. His loss is a big one for a Broncos team looking to beat the Chargers for the second time this year. Denver's D isn't a recommended fantasy play this week, and Miller […]

Hunter Renfrow Out Against Chiefs

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chiefs. The 23-year-old was injured last Sunday against the Jets. He has 36 catches for 396 yards and two scores on the season, but it's impossible to trust any Oakland receiver outside of tight end Darren Waller and wideout Tyrell Williams, […]

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 […]
