Broncos Defense Facing Shy-Away Matchup

Against all odds, the Denver Broncos defense/special teams has been a top-10 fantasy unit in 2023 despite allowing 70 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. They've flipped the script from early in the year and now lead the NFL with 22 takeaways (10 interceptions, 12 fumble recoveries). In their last four games, they've […]

Wil Lutz Retains Streaming Value At Kicking Position

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has quietly been a top-10 fantasy kicker through the first 13 weeks of the 2023 season. Most of his production came during Denver's five-game winning streak, but it has come after a slow start in his first year in Denver. After seeing at least four field-goal attempts in three of […]

Adam Trautman Not On TE2 Radar

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman hasn't been a realistic starting option in fantasy lineups all season long despite being the Broncos' top pass-catching tight end with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) hurt all year. Trautman has a good matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 14, but it's unlikely to matter. The 26-year-old has […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Not An Option Against Chargers

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (ribs) was on the team's injury report again this week but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday and has been cleared to play in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Even in a great matchup against the Chargers' shaky secondary this […]

Jerry Jeudy Has Upside As WR4/Flex In Week 14

We wouldn't blame anyone for not considering Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy as a flex option the rest of the way in 2023. After all, he's faded into the background in Denver's passing game behind Courtland Sutton and his career-high nine touchdowns this year. Jeudy has reached 50 receiving yards seven times in 11 […]

Courtland Sutton In Must-Start Territory As Touchdown Machine

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been a touchdown machine in 2023 with a career-high nine scores in 12 games, which ranks third among all wideouts, behind only Tyreek Hill (12) and Mike Evans (10). He broke a five-game TD streak in Week 12 but returned to the end zone in last week's loss […]

Javonte Williams Has High-End RB2 Appeal Against Chargers

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams has only had double-digit half-PPR showings in three games in 2023, but he'll have a good opportunity for a fourth in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, especially if Samaje Perine (knee) is inactive while being a late addition to the injury report. Overall, it's mostly been […]

Jaguars Sign Nathan Rourke To Active Roster

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed quarterback Nathan Rourke to the active 53-man roster on Saturday from the practice squad, according to a source. Rourke will give the Jaguars some quarterback insurance this weekend with Trevor Lawrence (ankle) a game-time decision on Sunday following a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Monday night's overtime loss to the Cincinnati […]

Rams Activate Mason Crosby To Active Roster

The Los Angeles Rams activated veteran kicker Mason Crosby from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Saturday in advance of the Week 14 game on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. The Rams signed the 39-year-old kicker earlier this week as competition for Lucas Havrisik, who has missed three of his 10 field-goal […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Not Ready, Matt Amendola To Kick Again

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) hasn't suffered any setbacks in his recovery from a strained right quadriceps, according to sources, but he isn't quite ready to return in Week 14 against the New York Jets and will spend another week on Injured Reserve. As a result, the Texans will elevate Matt Ammendola from the […]

T.J. Watt In Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol, according to Steelers spokesman Burt Lauten. Watt came in on Friday experiencing concussion symptoms and must now be cleared by an independent neurologist before he can return to play. The good news is the Steelers have a mini-bye and won't play again […]

Rashid Shaheed Won't Play In Week 14

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed's quadriceps injury is more serious than initially believed and will not play in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. His injury was initially believed to be a contusion, but a second opinion showed something more serious. Shaheed was listed as questionable on Friday's final […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Could Have Bigger Role In Week 14

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (knee) was a late addition to the Week 14 injury report and is questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, which could thrust rookie Jaleel McLaughlin into a larger role following a recent drop in playing time as a complementary backfield option for Denver. The […]

Russell Wilson Has Great Bounce-Back Matchup In Week 14

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has a get-right matchup in Week 14's divisional clash against the Los Angeles Chargers, coming off one of his worst games of the year in the Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans, when he threw for 186 yards, one touchdown and a season-high three interceptions. It was a rare […]

Alex Highsmith In The Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers standout pass-rusher Alex Highsmith (concussion) has entered the league's concussion protocol after getting injured in Thursday night's loss to the New England Patriots. Highsmith has more time to clear the protocols before the team's Week 15 game on Saturday, Dec. 16, against the Indianapolis Colts, but it doesn't mean he'll be able to […]

Derek Carr Clears Concussion Protocol, Will Play Sunday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, ribs, shoulder) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will start in Week 14 against the visiting Carolina Panthers on Sunday, according to a source. Carr was a full participant in practice on Friday and was cleared by an independent neurologist following practice. Seemingly getting hurt almost every […]

Patriots Waive Ty Montgomery II

The New England Patriots waived running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery II on Friday, a day after their Thursday night upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. In Week 14, Montgomery was only on the field for a total of six offensive snaps and caught one pass for 17 yards on two targets in the 21-18 win. […]

Michael Thomas Expected Back This Year

NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill expects New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (knee) to return this year. Thomas is currently on Injured Reserve with a right-knee injury and must miss two more games before he's eligible to return. It's good news for the oft-injured 30-year-old wideout, but a return for the final three games of the […]

Marquise Goodwin Set To Return In Week 14

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (concussion) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from Friday's final Week 14 injury report. Goodwin will make his return on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars for the first time since suffering a concussion in Week 9. The 33-year-old speedy deep threat could be asked to pick up […]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Removed From Injury Report

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) was able to practice in full on Friday and clear the league's concussion protocol, so he was removed from the final Week 14 injury report. However, head coach Kevin Stefanski has refused to name a starter between Thompson-Robinson and veteran Joe Flacco heading into Sunday's game against the […]

Samaje Perine Listed As Questionable Against Chargers

The Denver Broncos listed running back Samaje Perine (knee) as questionable to play this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. Perine was a full participant on Wednesday and Thursday before he was held out of practice on Friday. It sounds as though Perine suffered a setback, which usually is a bad sign heading into […]

Kendre Miller Missing Another Game

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. Miller has not practiced or played since spraining his ankle in Week 9. This will be the 21-year-old's fourth straight missed game. Head coach Dennis Allen said that Miller's […]

Blake Grupe Questionable For Week 14

Despite practicing in full all week, New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe (groin) is listed as questionable to play in Week 14 on Sunday against the visiting Carolina Panthers. Grupe was also questionable going into last week's loss to the Detroit Lions, but he suited up and made all four of his extra-point tries while […]

Travis Etienne Jr., D'Ernest Johnson Questionable Against Browns

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) and D'Ernest Johnson (knee) are both listed as questionable for the Week 14 contest versus the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. Etienne was also questionable for Monday night's overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, but he ended up suiting up and saw 15 touches for 79 yards and […]

Geno Smith Questionable To Face 49ers

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) is questionable for Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers and is considered a game-time decision on Sunday by head coach Pete Carroll. Smith popped up on the Week 14 injury report on Thursday and was limited before being held out of Friday's session. The 33-year-old veteran was already […]

Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet Questionable

Seattle Seahawks running backs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and rookie Zach Charbonnet (knee) are both listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Both Walker and Charbonnet began the week by sitting out of Wednesday's practice but were limited on Thursday and upgraded to full on Friday. By […]

Chris Olave Expected To Play Sunday

The full expectation is that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (illness) will play in Week 14 on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, according to a source. Olave came down with the flu this week and missed practice on Thursday and Friday, which has led to him being listed as questionable to play on […]

Isiah Pacheco A Candidate For Injured Reserve?

When asked if Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) will need to go on Injured Reserve, head coach Andy Reid said, "We'll see." Pacheco missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills, and it's looking like he might need to miss additional time. He's […]

Tyler O'Neill Heading To Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are acquiring outfielder Tyler O'Neill from the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday. It's unclear at the time what the Cardinals will receive in return. The 28-year-old Canadian has an intriguing mix of power and speed, but injuries have limited him to just 168 games the last two years and made him […]

Twins Receiving Trade Interest On Jorge Polanco

The Minnesota Twins have received increased trade interest in infielder Jorge Polanco over the last week. The Twins exercised their $10.5 million option on Polanco for the 2024 season, but teams have come calling on the 30-year-old veteran this offseason. Durability issues have been Polanco's Achilles heal, as he missed a considerable chunk of time […]
