Kevin Stefanski a Name to Watch for Giants Head Coach?

The New York Giants on Monday became the second NFL team to fire their head coach this season when they parted ways with Brian Daboll. With rumors already circulating about the upcoming coaching cycle, one name to watch as a potential replacement is current Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. The Browns are 2-7 and […]

Week 14 a Realistic Return Date for Joe Burrow?

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) had his 21-day practice window opened on Monday and has begun working in a limited capacity. Recent reports have suggested that Burrow is targeting the team's Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup with the Ravens as a potential return date; however, NFL Insider Adam Schefter believes a Week 14 return against […]

George Pickens a WR1 in Week 11?

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens comes into Week 11 as the WR5 in half-PPR scoring, largely on the strength of what he was able to accomplish while teammate CeeDee Lamb was sidelined with an ankle injury. In the three games that Lamb missed, Pickens averaged 120 yards per game while scoring four touchdowns and […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Remains a High-Value Stash

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. saw a limited workload in Sunday's matchup against the Rams, but was highly efficient in the loss. On the field for only 14 offensive snaps, Robinson took eight carries for 41 yards and a touchdown. Over the past two weeks, he has turned 13 carries into 94 […]

Browns Non-Commital on Deshaun Watson's Status

When asked on Monday if Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles) would have his 21-day practice window opened this week, head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters, "I'm not sure if that's what we're doing." Recent reports have indicated that Watson's recovery from a torn Achilles suffered in Week 7 of 2024 has been going well, […]

Theo Johnson Continues to Stack Productive Weeks

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson caught a season-high seven passes for 75 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Bears. Since Jaxson Dart took over as the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 4, Johnson has been on a 17-game pace of 66 catches for 644 yards and 12 touchdowns, putting him squarely […]

Emari Demercado Gets by on Big Plays

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado had only seven total touches in Sunday's blowout loss to the Seahawks. Still, he was able to salvage a respectable fantasy performance on the back of two big plays, a 55-yard fourth-quarter rush, and a 34-yard catch and run on a first-half dumpoff. He finished the day with 104 […]

Dalton Schultz Sees Double-Digit Targets in Week 10

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's improbable Week 10 win over the Jaguars. In Davis Mills' first start since 2022, only Nico Collins demanded a higher target share. Schultz has now caught at least five passes for 50+ yards in four […]

Jake Tonges Phased Out of Offense

San Francisco 49ers fourth-year tight end Jake Tonges filled in admirably while teammate George Kittle missed five games with a hamstring injury. However, since Kittle's return, Tonges has seen a total of 16 offensive snaps over the past three weeks. And while he did catch a two-yard touchdown in Week 8, it came on his […]

J.K. Dobbins Getting Second Opinion on Foot Injury

Denver Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins (foot) briefly left Thursday night's win over the Raiders after having his foot pinned awkwardly beneath a defender's body during a third-quarter rush attempt. While he was able to return to the game, Dobbins and the team are now awaiting a second opinion to determine the severity of the […]

Kyler Murray Expected to Return This Season

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (foot) has been in the building working hard, and the expectation is that he should return at some point this season, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. When asked if that meant a return to the starting lineup, Ossenfort was less committal, saying, "A lot can happen" during the four […]

Isaiah Bond Will Miss Sunday's Game

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond (foot) will miss Sunday's game against the Jets with a foot injury sustained in the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. Following a Week 9 bye, Bond has yet to return to practice and was ruled out of action on Friday. Since accumulating a season-high 58 yards […]

Harold Fannin Jr. Questionable for Sunday

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (hamstring) carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 10 matchup with the Jets. Fannin was a surprise DNP at Thursday's practice before returning to action on Friday. Through nine weeks, Fannin leads the Browns with 38 catches for 352 yards, and his two receiving touchdowns are tied […]

Tre Tucker Could Find Value in New Role

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker is now the de facto No. 1 wideout for a Raiders team that dealt Jakobi Meyers to the Jaguars on Tuesday. While tight end Brock Bowers will be the clear focal point of this offense as long as he's healthy, Tucker is the most likely candidate to benefit […]

Jack Bech Hard to Trust After Zero Offensive Snaps

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech did not see the field in Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars outside of his 12 special teams snaps. With Jakobi Meyers being dealt to those same Jaguars on Tuesday, there is a theoretical path for Bech to become more involved in a Raiders offense that was […]

Quinnen Williams Headed to Dallas

The Dallas Cowboys have acquired All-Pro defensive lineman Quinnen Williams from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2026 first-round pick and more. The 27-year-old Williams is coming off three straight Pro Bowl seasons and will look to shore up a Cowboys' defensive front that has allowed 143 rushing yards per game. Dallas reportedly […]

Adonai Mitchell Has a Clear Path to Upside

As part of the deal that sent All-Pro cornerback Sauce Gardner to the Colts, the New York Jets acquired second-year wide receiver Adonai Mitchell, who now finds himself on a less crowded depth chart. While the quarterback situation in New York lacks the surprising stability that Daniel Jones has been able to provide for the […]

Dolphins Open to Trading Minkah Fitzpatrick

The Miami Dolphins are reportedly open to trading three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, and there has been interest from multiple teams. The Dolphins reacquired Fitzpatrick in the offseason in a deal that saw them send All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Steelers, along with a pick swap. With the Dolphins […]

Shedeur Sanders Still Dealing with Back Injury

Cleveland Browns backup quarterback Shedeur Sanders (back) is still dealing with the back tightness that made him inactive for the team's Week 8 loss to the Patriots. The Browns had a Week 9 bye, but as they begin preparation for Sunday's matchup with the Jets, Sanders has not returned to practice, according to head coach […]

Aaron Jones Sr.'s Sore Shoulder to be Tested This Week

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) suffered a sprained AC joint in Sunday's win over the Lions. While head coach Kevin O'Connell told the media on Monday that the shoulder is sore, he regarded the prognosis as positive. The team will ramp up Jones' activity throughout the week, so it should come as […]

Luke Musgrave Worth Waiver Consideration

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave caught three passes on Sunday for a season-high 34 yards, with all of his looks coming on the team's final drive of the day. Tucker Kraft (knee), the Packers' leading receiver through nine weeks, exited the game in the third quarter with what has since been confirmed as […]

Isiah Pacheco Ruled Out for Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) has officially been ruled out of Sunday's marquee matchup with the Bills. The team described Pacheco as week-to-week after an MCL sprain knocked him out of Monday night's win over the Commanders, so the designation comes as no surprise. Kansas City is on a Week 10 bye, […]

D'Andre Swift Dealing With Nagging Groin Issue

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has been on the team's injury report since Week 7, and head coach Ben Johnson believes the lingering groin issue dates back even earlier than that. To Swift's credit, he has played in every game this year and has not seen fewer than 13 opportunities in any of […]

Dalton Schultz Returns to Practice

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee/shoulder) was spotted during the stretching portion of Friday's practice after logging two straight DNPs. Schultz has provided a consistent fantasy floor for managers streaming the position, putting together a string of four consecutive games with at least five receptions before being held to only two catches for 24 […]

Trey Hendrickson Doubtful vs Bears

Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro pass-rusher and the NFL's reigning sack king, Trey Hendrickson (hip), is doubtful for the team's Week 9 matchup with the Bears. Hendrickson missed one game with a hip injury before returning for the Bengals' surprise loss to the Jets in Week 8. Having missed practice all week, he is unlikely to play […]

Xavier Legette Cleared to Play

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (illness) was a full participant at Friday's practice. Legette had been held out of the week's first two practices with an illness, but he appears to have recovered, and he carries no injury designation heading into the team's Week 9 matchup with the Packers. With quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) […]

5 Must-Have Fantasy Football Rookies to Target: Second-Half Risers, Potential League-Winners (2025)

Every rookie enters the NFL clouded in hype and possibility. By midseason, most of that cloud has burned off, and we have a decent picture of what these guys actually look like. Some are exactly who we thought they were, some have us feeling duped, and for others, the image is just foggy enough to […]

Jalen Coker Working Back to Full-Time Role

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was on the field for 40 of his team's 61 offensive snaps in a Week 8 loss to the Bills. This came after taking 26 of 71 snaps in Week 7, his first game of 2025 after a hamstring injury caused him to sit out the first six weeks. […]

Colston Loveland a Second Half Surge Candidate

With Cole Kmet (back) missing the team's Week 8 loss to the Ravens, Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland saw season highs in snap count, targets, and yards. Following the game, head coach Ben Johnson spoke glowingly about his first-round draft pick, stressing that he wished they'd gotten him the ball more. While Kmet […]

Darius Slayton Not a Priority Addition Off the Waiver Wire

After missing two games with a hamstring injury, New York Giants receiver Darius Slayton caught two of five targets for 26 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. As one of the last men standing in a battered Giants offense, it's reasonable that he'll receive some waiver wire buzz this week, but having topped 45 […]
