Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips is the odd man out as a healthy scratch for Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts with Treylon Burks returning from his concussion on Sunday.

Broncos Defense Faces A Challenge In Week 13

During their current five-game winning streak, the Denver Broncos defense/special teams has been a top-five fantasy unit, picking up nine sacks, 10 fumble recoveries, five interceptions and even a safety for good measure.

Adam Trautman Still Off The Fantasy Radar

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman caught his second touchdown pass of the year in the Week 12 victory over the Cleveland Browns, but the eight-yard, highlight-reel grab was his only target of the game.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) was on this week's injury report but was removed after putting in a full practice on Friday.

Samaje Perine Back In The Mix In Denver's Backfield?

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine began the year as Denver's "lead back" with Javonte Williams being eased in due to a knee injury he suffered the year prior.

Javonte Williams Looking For Bounce-Back Game In Week 13

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had a season-high 19.0 half-PPR fantasy points in the Week 10 win over the Buffalo Bills but then had back-to-back lackluster outings the last two games against the Minnesota Vikings and Cleveland Browns. He has double-digit half-PPR performances only three times this year, but all three of them have […]

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson enters Week 13 as a low-end QB1 streaming option against a Houston Texans defense that has allowed 252.5 passing yards per game, the sixth-most in football through 12 weeks.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from Injured Reserve and return to kick in Week 14 against the New York Jets.

Greg Dulcich Could Still Return This Year

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring), who went on Injured Reserve on Oct. 21, has started to work off to the side during practices. There is still a ways to go for him, but with six games left in the regular season, he could be a helpful late-season addition for the Broncos if all […]
