Aqib Talib Could Return In Week 13

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ankle) will return from the Injured Reserve this season, and he could be back as soon as Week 13 against the Lions.

Shaquil Barrett Out 3-4 Weeks

Denver Broncos linebacker Shaquil Barrett (hip) will miss three to four weeks with a hip flexor injury that he suffered in Week 12 against the Steelers, according to sources. Barrett had been rotating with rookie Bradley Chubb on the strong side this year and had recorded 24 tackles and three sacks. Denver's pass-rush depth will […]

DeSean Jackson Sees Hand Specialist

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Dirk Koetter said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hand) saw a local hand specialist in Tampa and is headed to New York for a second opinion. It might help explain why he caught just three of his eight targets for only 19 yards in Week 12 against the Niners. D-Jax […]

Ezekiel Elliott Dealing With Hip Soreness

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (hip), who didn't practice on Sunday, is dealing with some hip soreness after the Thanksgiving win over the Redskins last Thursday, according to head coach Jason Garrett. However, Elliott is expected to practice on Monday after carrying the ball 68 times with 18 receptions in a 12-day stretch. Elliott […]

Blake Bortles Benched, Cody Kessler To Start In Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles will not start in Week 13 against the Colts, and instead Cody Kessler will get the start. Bortles was 12-for-23 for only 127 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the Week 12 loss to the Bills. He's completed just 60.4 percent of his passes and has 13 touchdowns and […]

Xavier Rhodes Undergoing MRI

Minnesota Vikings top cornerback Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) is undergoing an MRI exam on his right hamstring on Monday after he came up lame in the fourth quarter on Sunday night against the Packers. Rhodes hobbled off the field badly, so he might be fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 13 in a showdown […]

Jaguars Fire Offensive Coordinator

The Jacksonville Jaguars fired offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett on Monday, according to sources. The Jaguars fell to 3-8 and into last place in the AFC South with their seventh straight loss on Sunday to the Bills.

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive guard Andrew Norwell (ankle) is expected to be sidelined "a few weeks" with what was originally diagnosed as a sprained ankle, according to a source.

David Bakhtiari Suffers Multiple Knee Injuries

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) said he suffered two different injuries to his left knee in the loss to the Vikings on Sunday night. He will not know the severity of the injuries until he meets with doctors on Monday. Jason Spriggs replaced him when he left the game, and it'd be […]

Jimmie Ward Suffers Broken Forearm

San Francisco 49ers free safety Jimmie Ward (forearm) suffered a broken left forearm in the Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers for the second straight season. The 2014 first-round pick is in the final year of his contract and may have played his final game with the team. D.J. Reed replaced Ward but left with […]

49ers Evaluating QB Position

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Nick Mullens didn't play very well in his first career road start in a Week 12 loss to the Buccaneers. Shanahan also said he will continue to evaluate the quarterback position between Mullens and C.J. Beathard. Mullens went 18-for-32 for 221 yards with a touchdown […]

Chris Thompson, Trent Williams Practicing Monday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (ribs) and left tackle Trent Williams (rib) both took part in team drills in practice on Monday. It suggests that both players will be ready to face the Eagles next Monday night. Thompson hasn't played since Oct. 28 against the Giants and would be a risky RB3/flex option in […]

Evan Engram's Timetable Unknown

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said he doesn't know how long tight end Evan Engram (hamstring) will be out after he pulled his hamstring in pregame warmups before the Week 12 game against the Eagles. Engram was active on Sunday but didn't play at all. Rhett Ellison had a season-high four catches on […]

Josh Adams' Touches To Increase Each Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said the plan is to increase rookie running back Josh Adams' touches each week. Adams ran the ball a season-high 22 times for 84 yards and a score in the Week 12 win over the Giants and seems firmly entrenched as the team's lead back moving forward. However, he'll […]

Kenyan Drake To Rest Shoulder This Week In Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (shoulder) fell on his injured shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Colts and will not take contact in practice this week. Drake only had 32 yards rushing on eight carries on Sunday, but he found the end zone on the ground and also had five catches for […]

Melvin Gordon To Miss A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain that he suffered in the Week 12 blowout win over the Cardinals, according to sources.

Andy Dalton Has Sprained Thumb

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) was diagnosed with a sprained right thumb after X-rays came up negative, according to a team source.

Melvin Gordon Has MCL Injury

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is dealing with an MCL injury after leaving the Week 12 win over the Cardinals in the third quarter, according to a source. Gordon will be re-evaluated on Monday, but there is a real possibility that he will miss next Sunday night's game against the Steelers. Gordon […]

Chad Beebe Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers in Week 12. Beebe caught all four of his passes for 39 yards with Stefon Diggs out in recent weeks, but he's a non-factor now for fantasy purposes with Diggs back in the fold. Running back Mike […]

Jimmy Graham Playing Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) is active on Sunday night against the Vikings. Graham caught just one pass for 13 yards last Thursday before injuring his thumb. He's caught just two passes for 27 yards in his last two games and is a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE1 on Sunday night.

Randall Cobb Ruled Out Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday night's game against the Vikings. Cobb hasn't played since Nov. 4 against the Patriots and has been a non-factor other than the season opener when he went for 142 yards and a touchdown. He's not a must-stash in redraft leagues. Davante Adams, […]

Leonard Fournette Ejected Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was ejected from the game against the Bills in Week 12 in the third quarter. Fournette got into a tussle with Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson after a Jaguars touchdown. The good news for Fournette's owners is that he had 18 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns before […]

Andy Dalton Injured Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) left the game in the second half in Week 12 against the Browns and is questionable to return with a right thumb injury. It's unlikely that Dalton returns in what was already a blowout in Cleveland's favor. Dalton was 10-for-17 for only 100 yards with a touchdown and interception […]

Jakeem Grant, A.J. Derby Inactive

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant (Achilles) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot, knee) are both inactive in Week 12 against the Colts. Grant could miss more time but is expected to return before the end of the season. He belongs on the waiver wire. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill will have Danny Amendola, Devante Parker and […]

Chad Williams Out In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (ankle) is inactive in Week 12 against the Chargers after not practicing all week. The second-year wideout hasn't played since Oct. 28 and has just 11 catches on 31 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown this year. You can continue to leave him to the waiver wire. Larry […]

Phil Dawson Active Against Chargers

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) is active for Week 12 against the Chargers. Dawson returns for the first time since Nov. 11 against the Chiefs. He's made just four of six field-goal attempts this year and is not a recommended fantasy option in perhaps one of the worst offenses in the league.

Melvin Gordon Will Play Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring, knee), who is questionable for Week 12 against the Cardinals, will play on Sunday. Gordon has had exactly 18 carries in each of the last two weeks, but he disappointed on the ground with only 69 yards rushing in the loss to Denver last week. In an […]

A.J. Green, Josh Malone Officially Out

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers A.J. Green (toe) and Josh Malone (hamstring) have officially been ruled out for Week 12 against the Browns. Offensive tackle Cordy Glenn (back), cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (shoulder) and linebacker Nick Vigil (knee) are also out, leaving the Bengals without some key contributors on both sides of the ball. Green was never […]

David Njoku Active Against Bengals

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is active for Week 12 against the Bengals. Njoku practiced all week, so he was never really in danger of missing this game despite being listed as questionable. He's been a bust in two of the last three weeks, including just one catch for 18 yards in Week […]
