Matthew Stafford, Bruce Ellington Active

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back), wide receiver Bruce Ellington (back) and tight end Michael Roberts (shoulder) are active in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Stafford is running out of playmakers on offense due to injuries and trades, so even in a good matchup he'll be a mediocre QB2 play this weekend. Ellington has an […]

Tyreek Hill, Spencer Ware Return In Second Half

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel) and running back Spencer Ware (shoulder) have both returned to the field in the second half in Week 14 against the Ravens. Owners of both Hill and Ware can breathe a sigh of relief to start the second half. It's great news for […]

Tyreek Hill, Spencer Ware Both Injured

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (heel) and running back Spencer Ware (shoulder) are both questionable to return in Week 14 against the Ravens after suffering injuries. Sammy Watkins is likely out for the rest of the regular season, so the Chiefs may be in serious trouble after Kareem Hunt was released for domestic violence […]

Quincy Enunwa Questionable To Return

New York Jets wide receiver Quincy Enunwa (ankle) injured his ankle just before halftime of the Week 14 game against the Bills and is questionable to return. Enunwa caught his only target for seven yards before departing. Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse will see more looks in the second half against Buffalo if Enunwa is […]

DeAndre Carter Won't Return Sunday

Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter (concussion) suffered a concussion in Week 14 against the Colts and will not return to the game. Carter had one catch for no gain before leaving the game. With Keke Coutee (hamstring) inactive, Sammie Coates will serve in three-receiver sets behind DeAndre Hopkins and Demaryius Thomas for the rest […]

Isaiah Crowell Injured Against Bills

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (foot) left the game early in Week 14 against the Bills with a foot injury. It could be an aggravation of the injury that made Crowell questionable for this game in the first place, but we'll have to see. He had only two carries for five yards and […]

Jordan Reed Exits With Injury

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (ankle) limped off with the medical staff in the first quarter of Week 14 against the Giants after having his ankle rolled up on during a run play. There is no word on whether he'll be able to return to the game, so consider him questionable, at best. Reed […]

LeSean McCoy Injured Sunday Against Jets

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is questionable to return to the Week 14 game against the Jets with a hamstring injury. McCoy had just two carries for one yard and dropped his only target in the passing game before leaving the game. Owners that have him in their lineups in the first week […]

Tom Coughlin Could Take Over Head-Coaching Duties In 2019

There is growing belief that Jacksonville Jaguars president Tom Coughlin could wind up serving as the head coach in 2019. The team was embarrassed in a blowout loss to the Titans last Thursday after surprising with an AFC Championship appearance in 2017. The Jaguars have been marred by fights, suspensions and lack of discipline all […]

Eric Berry Should Make Season Debut Next Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Eric Berry (heel) should make his 2018 season debut next Thursday in a big divisional matchup with the Chargers. Berry practiced for the second straight week but was inactive in Week 14 against the Ravens. His return will be a boost to what has been a weak secondary this year, but […]

Xavien Howard Has Surgery

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (knee), who is out for Week 14 against the Patriots, recently had arthroscopic surgery to trim his meniscus injury, according to sources. It's a minor procedure, so he hasn't been ruled out yet for Week 15 against the Vikings. His absence against the Patriots is notable, though, and it's good […]

Jaguars Plan To Move On From Blake Bortles

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to move on from quarterback Blake Bortles in the offseason. "I'm told that Blake Bortles's future does not include the Jacksonville Jaguars," Ian Rapoport said on Up to the Minute Live. "Not that this is a surprise at all. But they are expected to move on from him in this offseason." […]

Kareem Hunt Enters Counseling

Free-agent running back Kareem Hunt has entered counseling for alcohol and anger management this week, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Hunt was released by the Kansas City Chiefs last week after a video surfaced that showed him attacking a woman in a hotel in February. Hunt is being investigated by the NFL […]

Alex Smith Unlikely To Be Ready For 2019 Season

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg), who remains in the hospital after needing additional surgeries to fight an infection in his surgically repaired broken leg, is unlikely to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. Mark Sanchez isn't the answer next year to begin the year, so the 'Skins will need to look […]

Darius Slay Expected To Play Against Cardinals

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (ankle), who is questionable for Week 14 against the Cardinals, is expected to play on Sunday, according to a source. Slay is the team's top cornerback, so that's great news for them as they go up against one of the worst offenses in the league. Slay could shadow Cardinals deep-threat […]

Melvin Gordon Could Return In Week 15

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) could return in Week 15 against the Chiefs on Thursday, as his injury wasn't as serious as the team initially thought. Gordon didn't practice at all last week and could be in danger of seeing limited snaps if he returns in a big game against the division […]

Jaylen Samuels Expected To See Significant Snaps

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back/tight end Jaylen Samuels is expected to see most of the carries in Week 14 against the Raiders with James Conner (ankle) out. Samuels could split touches with Stevan Ridley, but Samuels is the preferred fantasy play if you need another running back in the first round of the fantasy playoffs. […]

Doug Martin Expected To Play

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin (knee), who is questionable for Week 14 against the Steelers, is expected to play on Sunday, according to a source. He will play, but he could be somewhat limited and is in danger of being phased out of the offense if the team falls behind big against a strong […]

Panthers Not Worried About Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers are not worried about quarterback Cam Newton's shoulder, and he can still make all the necessary throws he needs to heading into Week 14 against the Browns. Newton is not expected to need another offseason surgery on his right shoulder either. Against a Browns defense missing stud rookie cornerback Denzel Ward in […]

Matt Bryant Active Against Packers

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant (back) is active for Week 14 against the Packers. With the 43-year-old playing on Sunday, backup Giorgio Tavecchio is a healthy scratch. Bryant has been perfect on all 15 of his field goals this year and has missed just one of his 21 extra-point tries. Atlanta's offense hasn't been as […]

Keke Coutee, D'Onta Foreman Not Playing

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back D'Onta Foreman (Achilles) are both inactive for Week 14 against the Colts. Coutee will miss his second straight game and just hasn't been able to get over his hamstring issues all year. He has long-term upside but should be on waivers in redraft leagues […]

T.Y. Hilton Playing Against Texans

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (shoulder), who was a game-time decision, is active in Week 14 against the Texans. Hilton had the first of his three 100-yard games this year against Houston on Sept. 30 and has hurt them often in his career. Houston's secondary isn't anything to write home about, so Hilton could […]

Eric Berry Inactive Again

Kansas City Chiefs safety Eric Berry (heel) remains inactive for Week 14 against the Ravens. Running back Charcandrick West is also a healthy scratch after being signed last week. Berry has yet to play in 2018 but has been practicing in recent weeks and is getting close to making his first start of the year. […]

Dan Arnold, Brandon Marshall Are Healthy Scratches

New Orleans Saints tight end Dan Arnold and wide receiver Brandon Marshall are healthy scratches for Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Arnold had been used more of late over Benjamin Watson as the pass-catching tight end and scored his first touchdown of the year on Nov. 22 against the Falcons. Watson should have a bigger […]

Josh Doctson Active In Week 14

Washington Redskins wide receiver Josh Doctson (hip) is active for Week 14 against the Giants. Running backs Kapri Bibbs and Samaje Perine are healthy scratches. Doctson hasn't reached the 100-yard mark in a single game this year and has only two touchdowns in an offense that is now being held hostage by Mark Sanchez at […]

Isaiah Crowell, Robby Anderson Active Against Bills

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell (toe) and wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) are both active for Week 14 against the Bills. Crowell has had a couple big games this year but needs to score a touchdown to really reward his fantasy owners. Consider him a low-end, volume-dependent RB2 this weekend. Anderson hasn't been […]

Mike Napoli Retires Saturday

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Mike Napoli announced on Twitter on Saturday that he is retiring from baseball. His best season in the big leagues came with the Red Sox in 2011 when he hit .320 with a .631 slugging percentage, 30 home runs and 75 RBI. He'll finish his 12-year career with a .246/.346/.475 slash […]

Rashaad Penny Listed As Questionable

Despite practicing all week, Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday night against the Vikings. Penny must have injured himself in practice on Saturday. Penny has been impressive here and there in his rookie season, but mostly when Chris Carson has been on the shelf. Carson will be […]

Doug Baldwin To Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Doug Baldwin (hip) will be a game-time decision on Monday night against the Vikings. Offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) and linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) have been ruled out. Baldwin didn't practice all week, so his fantasy owners should be very concerned. He's pretty much not […]

Michael Gallup Expected To Play Against Eagles

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Michael Gallup (illness) is expected to play in Week 14 against the Eagles despite sitting out of practice with an illness on Friday. Gallup should be fine but may not be feeling 100 percent in a very important divisional matchup against Philadelphia. He's hard to trust regardless as a WR4/5 […]
