Dawson Knox Outside Starting Range In Week 12

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox should not be relied upon in most formats when his team takes on the Houston Texans in Week 12, even with fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) ruled out for the game. As the team's top tight end option last week, Knox managed only one catch for 23 yards, […]


Tough Matchup Dampers Outlook For Tyrell Shavers

Coming off the best game of his career, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers should be left on the bench in most formats when his team takes on the Houston Texans on Thursday. Shavers, mostly a special teamer to this point, broke out for four catches, 90 yards, and a touchdown last week against Tampa, […]


Joshua Palmer Avoidable In Thursday Clash With Houston

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer can safely be left out of lineups in most formats when his team travels to Houston to play the Texans for Week 12's Thursday Night Football game. The former Los Angeles Charger has been a disappointment in his first season with Buffalo, during which he has logged only 16 […]


Khalil Shakir a Shaky Thursday Night Fantasy Play?

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir (personal) enters a Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans in unknown territory after missing practice on both Monday and Tuesday for personal reasons. Assuming Shakir plays, he's a low-end WR3 option against Houston, the top-ranked defense against PPR wide receivers. The veteran is also coming off his worst […]


Bengals Haven't Ruled Out Joe Burrow for Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said Thursday morning that the club has not yet ruled out quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) from playing on Sunday against the New England Patriots, according to Paul Dehner of The Athletic. Taylor, who appeared on a Cincinnati radio show, said he wasn't ready to say whether Burrow would be […]


Vikings Continue To Play Long Game With J.J. McCarthy

The Minnesota Vikings are now 4-6 behind struggling young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, but the team is betting that McCarthy can overcome his current issues and acclimate to the NFL with time. Receiver Adam Thielen, who is back in Minnesota after two full seasons in Carolina, pointed to Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, whose improvement in his […]


Jordan Addison Shoulders Blame for Passing-Game Struggles

While Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy has had his share of struggles as he adapts to the NFL, wide receiver Jordan Addison accepted blame for Minnesota's issues in the passing game last week. The Vikings dropped six passes in Sunday's loss against Chicago, including two by Addison, both would-be first downs, one of which had […]


Justin Jefferson Says Turnaround Starts With Him

The Minnesota Vikings have been among the NFL's more disappointing teams in 2025, and superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson said getting back to winning again begins with him. As first-time starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy has struggled, the Vikings have dropped to 4-6. Jefferson was visibly frustrated in a loss to Chicago on Sunday, but said […]


More Work For Dallas Turner In Future Weeks?

In one of the few bright spots from a frustrating loss to Chicago in Week 11, the Minnesota Vikings saw a career-best day from edge rusher Dallas Turner, a first-round draft pick in 2024. Turner tied a career-high with five pressures, and also recorded a sack, an additional tackle for loss, seven tackles overall, and […]


Bryce Young Back in Game After Ankle Injury

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (ankle) departed and then returned to Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons after being stepped on, according to David Newton of ESPN. The former No. 1 overall pick missed a game earlier this year with an ankle injury, but was given the all-clear to return against Atlanta. Young has had […]


Jordan Love Departs Sunday's Game At Giants With Left-Shoulder Issue

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) departed Sunday's game at the New York Giants with an injury to his non-throwing shoulder. Love was wincing in apparent pain and dipped into the medical tent, but the team has not yet made a designation about his return. In his absence, Malik Willis stepped into the game […]


Calvin Ridley Carted to Locker Room With Ankle Injury

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (ankle) was carted to the locker room Sunday against the Houston Texans and is questionable to return to the game, according to John Glennon of the Nashville Post. The veteran wide receiver missed a full month with a hamstring injury and was quickly injured once again upon returning Sunday. […]


Marcus Mariota Throws One Touchdown in Overtime Loss

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota finished Sunday with 213 yards passing, 49 yards rushing, one touchdown pass, and an interception in an overtime loss against Miami. Filling in for starter Jayden Daniels (elbow), the veteran was solid if unspectacular by completing 20 of 30 passing attempts and breaking a 44-yard run that accounted for most […]


Big Day for De'Von Achane in Madrid

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane put together an excellent fantasy day in his team's overtime victory against the Washington Commanders by compiling 165 total yards on 26 touches. Though he didn't score, Achane caught all five targets for 45 yards and ended the day with 120 rushing yards from 21 carries. As Miami's best […]


Trey Hendrickson May Need Offseason Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson (hip) is out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh and additionally may require a procedure this offseason, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. According to Rapoport, Hendrickson is specifically dealing with a core muscle injury and may have further irritated it by playing against the New York Jets in late […]


Plus Matchup Facing J.J. McCarthy In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is a solid Superflex candidate with his team set to face the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The second-year quarterback led a furious comeback in the Week 1 meeting between the two teams in which he accounted for three total touchdowns in the fourth quarter, and the Chicago defense continues […]


Aaron Jones Sr. Playable as Leader of Minnesota Backfield

Running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder/toe) of the Minnesota Vikings does not appear on the Week 11 injury report and should be considered an RB2 option when his team plays host to NFC North rival Chicago on Sunday. Since the veteran returned from a hamstring injury that required a stint on injured reserve, he has […]


Jordan Mason Tough To Trust In Erratic Vikings Offense

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason's evaporating workload in the Vikings' backfield has made the proposition of playing him difficult ahead of a Week 11 clash against the Chicago Bears. In two of the past three weeks, Mason has failed to reach five total carries. During the past two games, in particular, Aaron Jones Sr. […]


Quality Matchup For Justin Jefferson Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is yet again a WR1 when the Vikings play host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The superstar has been quieter than normal during the past month as backup quarterback Carson Wentz and second-year starter J.J. McCarthy lead the charge for an up-and-down offense, but Jefferson still has […]


Struggling Bears Defense Presents Potential For Jordan Addison

With the Minnesota Vikings struggling for consistency as they break in a young quarterback, wide receiver Jordan Addison is a fringe starting option in standard formats against the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The third-year man from USC looked to be developing a legitimate chemistry with quarterback J.J. McCarthy during training camp and the preseason, […]


Jalen Nailor Looks For More After Breakout Week

Coming off a career-best day in Week 10, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor is tough to trust in Week 11 with a fluctuating pass-catching role. The fourth-year pro broke out for 124 yards and a touchdown on only five catches last week against Baltimore, which bested fellow wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. […]


T.J. Hockenson's Low Numbers Tough To Rely Upon In Week 11

After three straight weeks of low volume, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson should not be relied upon in standard formats when his team plays host to the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The former Iowa Hawkeye is still playing a commanding number of snaps, but has just six catches in the past three weeks […]


Excellent Matchup For Will Reichard In Week 11

Will Reichard of the Minnesota Vikings should be considered one of the top fantasy kickers when his team takes on the Chicago Bears in Week 11. A top-10 overall fantasy kicker through the halfway point of the NFL season, Reichard has converted all 17 of his extra points and 18 of 20 field goals, including […]


Vikings D/ST a Sneaky Lineup Option Against Bears

The Minnesota Vikings are a playable fantasy defense when taking on the Chicago Bears in a Week 11 matchup in Minneapolis. The Vikings have been tough to read this year, but they have a favorable set of circumstances this week: They blitz more than any team in the league, pressure the quarterback at the second-best […]


Trey Benson's Stock Rising As He Nears Return

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) could quickly become a hot commodity in fantasy circles as he nears a return from injured reserve. Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that he did not have an update on the running back's status, but he is now eligible to have his practice window opened at […]


More Work In Store For Cards' Greg Dortch?

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has a pathway to seeing more targets in Week 11 with his team set to play the San Francisco 49ers without top wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). The former Wake Forest man scored a rushing touchdown last week, but has not caught a pass since Week 7. Dortch has […]


Michael Wilson A Hot Addition For Week 11

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has seen his fantasy value surge with his team set to play Week 11 without top wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendectomy). Tight end Trey McBride continues to be the team's No. 1 pass catcher, but Wilson is third on the team in most receiving categories and should be […]


Commanders Open Drake Jackson's Practice Window

The Washington Commanders are opening the 21-day practice window for defensive end Drake Jackson (knee), according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former USC standout tore his patellar tendon while playing for the San Francisco 49ers in 2023 and did not play at all in 2024. The Commanders signed him last month and immediately placed him […]


Terry McLaurin Spotted Working Out At Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quad) is working on the side of the team's Thursday practice with athletic trainers after missing Wednesday's practice, according to John Keim of ESPN. Despite McLaurin's appearance at practice, the Commanders have already ruled him out for Week 11's game at Miami. The former Ohio State standout will have […]


Travis Hunter To Be A One-Way Player?

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said any discussion about making wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter a one-way player in the future is "premature," according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. Hunter (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2025 season following surgery to repair an LCL injury, which has only amplified questions about whether he […]
