Alec Pierce Hauls In Four Catches In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce caught four of his six targets for 27 yards in Week 12's 27-20 win over the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. The second-year wideout improved over his one-catch outing in Week 10 against the New England Patriots, but his performance was still disappointing nonetheless in a game in […]

Justin Jefferson Won't Play On Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is "very close" to returning from his hamstring injury, according to a source, but the team will play it safe and won't activate him from Injured Reserve to play on Monday night against the Chicago Bears. Jefferson is expected to be 100 percent after next week's bye […]

Giants Expected To Stick With Daniel Jones

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said that the expectation is that quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) will be the team's starting quarterback when he is healthy. It won't stop team brass from addressing the QB room in free agency or the draft, though. Schoen mentioned that veteran Tyrod Taylor (ribs) is a pending free […]

Broncos Defense Stays Hot, Records Another Three Turnovers

The Denver Broncos defense during their now five-game winning streak has almost been a night and day difference from the version they were earlier in the year when they allowed a record-breaking 70 points to the Dolphins in Week 3. They held the Cleveland Browns offense to just 12 points in Week 12's 29-12 win […]

Wil Lutz Stays Relevant In Week 12 Win

Despite the tough matchup in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz rewarded fantasy managers by making both of his field-goal attempts (long of 34 yards) and all three of his extra-point tries in the team's 29-12 win on Sunday in Denver. Lutz wasn't as busy with field-goal opportunities as he […]

Adam Trautman Scores For Second Time This Year

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman had a highlight-reel sliding touchdown catch on his only reception of the game in the team's 29-12 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday in Week 12. The referees initially ruled the play incomplete before replay review confirmed that Trautman had his shin down in bounds while securing the […]

Jerry Jeudy Barely Heard From In Week 12 Victory

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy continued his frustrating 2023 campaign in the Week 12 win over the visiting Cleveland Browns on Sunday by the score of 29-12, catching two of his three targets for a season-low 11 yards. This matchup wasn't great for anyone in Denver's offense, but Jeudy's final line was disappointing regardless, […]

Courtland Sutton Ends Touchdown Streak, Gains 61 Yards In Week 12

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton tied for the team-high in catches (three) and targets (six) while going for a team-high 61 receiving yards in the 29-12 Week 12 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Sutton had a couple clutch receptions and averaged a healthy 20.3 yards per catch, but the main storyline in […]

Samaje Perine Vultures A Touchdown In Win Over Browns

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine surprisingly worked as the No. 2 RB behind Javonte Williams over rookie Jaleel McLaughlin in the 29-12 win on Sunday over the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and even found the end zone for the first time this season. Perine had seven carries (his most since the season […]

Javonte Williams Underwhelms With His 21 Touches

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had little room to run in Week 12 against the stout Cleveland Browns defense in a 29-12 victory on Sunday. Williams led Denver's backfield with a commanding 18 carries for 65 yards and caught three of his six targets for six yards. The bad news: The 23-year-old […]

Russell Wilson Scores Two Touchdowns, Loses A Fumble In Win

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson wasn't spectacular in the 29-12 Week 12 win over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday and even turned the ball over, but he once again did just enough to lead the team to its fifth straight victory while also making some plays with his legs. Wilson finished the game 13-for-22 for […]

Panthers To Evaluate Frank Reich In The Offseason

The Carolina Panthers brought in offensive-minded head coach Frank Reich this year to help develop rookie quarterback Bryce Young after they took him with the first overall pick in this year's draft. However, it's been a very slow start for Young, leading to a lot of speculation that Reich will be fired after his first […]

Ravens Not Changing Game Plan For Isaiah Likely

The Baltimore Ravens are likely going to be without tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) for the rest of the season, but NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the team isn't expected to change their game plan or playbook and expect Isaiah Likely to be able to run the same plays as Andrews did as their […]

Justin Jefferson Unlikely To Play Monday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play on Monday night in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears, but the Vikings will exercise caution with their star wideout and he is considered unlikely to play, according to a source. Minnesota has a bye next week and the belief is that […]

Lane Johnson Downgraded To Questionable In Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (groin) has ben downgraded to questionable for Sunday's Week 12 showdown against the Buffalo Bills due to a groin injury. It's not good news for Johnson or the Eagles' offensive line in a big game this weekend in Philadelphia. There's still a chance the 33-year-old tackle is able to […]

Kyren Williams Returning To Lead-Back Duties

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was officially activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday and will be active in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals, where he will serve as the team's lead back. However, the Rams want to be careful about not overworking him in his first game since he injured his […]

Jaylen Warren, George Pickens To Be Involved More

With the Pittsburgh Steelers firing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, quarterbacks coach Mike Sullivan will now be the team's play-caller and running backs coach Eddie Faulkner will essentially become the interim offensive coordinator moving forward. The new coaching structure will first and foremost focus on what quarterback Kenny Pickett is most comfortable with. They are expected […]

DeVante Parker Returns, Jalen Raegor A Healthy Scratch

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (concussion) is officially active in Week 12 against the New York Giants on Sunday, while receiver Jalen Reagor is inactive as a healthy scratch.

Chase Brown Active For Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Chase Brown (hamstring) is officially active for the Week 12 contest versus the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday after he was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday. With Brown returning to the Bengals' backfield as depth, Chris Evans is a healthy scratch for this one. The 23-year-old rookie will be […]

Zay Jones Active Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee), who was questionable to play in Week 12 on Sunday against the Houston Texans, is officially active for the game. Jones was limited in practice all week. He put an end to a five-game absence in the Week 11 win over the Tennessee Titans and played 63 percent […]

Dameon Pierce Active In Week 12

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) is officially active for the Week 12 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Pierce makes his return after missing the last three games with an ankle injury. Pierce got in some more work during practice this week and was expected to make his return this weekend. It's […]

Mac Jones To Start Against Giants

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will start in Week 12 against the New York Giants on Sunday, according to sources. However, backup Bailey Zappe is likely to be in the mix as well. The Patriots have been non-committal on their starting quarterback ever since the Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany, […]

Joe Burrow To Have Wrist Surgery Monday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) will undergo surgery on his wrist on Monday, according to sources. The expectation is that Burrow will make a full recovery for the 2024 season.

Maxx Crosby Fully Expects To Play Against Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), who was listed as doubtful to play in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday's final injury report, said he fully expects to play on Sunday.

Signs Point To Mac Jones Starting In Week 12

Signs continue to point to New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones starting on Sunday for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants, but as of Friday, the players still had not been told which quarterback would make the start this weekend. Jones and Bailey Zappe split QB repetitions at practice during the week […]

Broncos Defense Firmly On The Streaming Radar Against Browns

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit is definitely a viable streaming option in Week 12 against a Cleveland Browns offense that will be starting rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. Denver's D has allowed the third-most points per game (26.8) in 2023, but that is largely skewed by their 70-point fiasco against the Dolphins in Week […]

Wil Lutz Likely To Disappoint In Week 12

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has vaulted into the top 10 at the kicking position in terms of overall fantasy points on the season during the Broncos' four-game winning streak. Lutz attempted just nine field goals (eight made) in the first six games, but during the four-game winning streak, he's gone 14-for-15 on field-goal tries […]

Continue To Avoid Adam Trautman In Fantasy

Despite serving as the Denver Broncos' top pass-catching tight end all year with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) hurt, Adam Trautman has failed to make any noise. His two-catch, 34-yard performance in last Sunday night's 21-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings was his second-best performance of the season. That's really all you need to know. Trautman has […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Remains Off The Fantasy Radar

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has been on the field much more in the last two weeks, but it has amounted to only two receptions on four targets for 12 yards. During Denver's four-game winning streak, Mims has three catches on six targets for 12 yards and he has had more than […]

MRI Confirms Torn Achilles For Jaelan Phillips

An MRI exam on Saturday confirmed that Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles on Friday in the Week 12 win over the New York Jets. Phillips will be forced to miss the rest of the season, which will be a big blow for the Dolphins defense the rest of the way. […]
