David Moore Too Risky To Play In Week 14
Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore should be thought of as a desperation WR5 when the Panthers take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. The veteran receiver has commanded 19 targets during the past two weeks as second-year quarterback Bryce Young has shown dramatic improvement, but this week's matchup is best avoided. The Eagles […]

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki should be considered a TE2 option in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran tight end's usage has been unpredictable, drawing five catches while playing fewer than half of Cincinnati's snaps last week, yet managing four total catches in the two prior weeks despite more playing time in […]

Running back Zamir White (quad) has already been ruled out, leaving Sincere McCormick and veteran journeyman Ameer Abdullah as the top options. Mattison has only 320 yards this season, […]

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) is not expected to suit up Sunday when his team takes on the New York Jets, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) is a game-time decision to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

It's desperation time for fantasy leagues that are down to the final week of the regular season.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll told assembled media that rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip flexor) will not practice on Friday ahead of the Giants' game against New Orleans.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (hip/back) returned to practice on Friday, according to a report from Fox Sports' Greg Auman. The rookie from Oregon has been in stellar form recently, compiling 313 rushing yards, three touchdowns, and 12 catches in his past three games, but he did not practice either Wednesday or Thursday […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (Achilles, knee) is once again practicing on Friday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring/calf) returned to practice on Friday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. It's good news for Tampa and fantasy managers rostering Evans, who did not practice either Wednesday or Thursday.

Running back Kenneth Walker III of the Seattle Seahawks has been an effective fantasy option when healthy this season, ranking No. 18 among PPR running backs despite missing two games earlier this season.

Nick Piotrowicz 2 weeks agoSlumping C.J. Stroud Faces Great Matchup In Week 13
The Jacksonville Jaguars present a great slump-busting chance for Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud, who is a fringe QB1 candidate in the Week 13 matchup. Last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year has been a fantasy disappointment relative to where he was drafted, throwing just 14 touchdowns and ranking behind the likes of Sam Darnold […]

Coming off a season-worst 22 rushing yards last week, Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon has an excellent chance for a get-right game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13.

Nick Piotrowicz 2 weeks agoGreat Matchup, But High Risk For Houston’s Tank Dell
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell will take on one of the worst pass defenses in the NFL when Houston travels to Jacksonville in Week 13, but he remains an unpredictable WR3/Flex option in an up-and-down offense. He is averaging more than 10 yards per target in the two games since fellow receiver Nico Collins […]
Nick Piotrowicz 2 weeks agoLow Ceiling Should Keep Dalton Schultz On Fantasy Benches
At this stage of the season, fantasy managers rostering Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz in a one-tight end format would be hard-pressed to trust him, even in a great matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Houston still clearly values the veteran tight end, who is playing 80% of its snaps, but his decline in receiving […]

Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn of the Houston Texans enters Week 13 against Jacksonville coming off one of the worst missed field goals of the year, an uncharacteristically pulled chip shot that would have tied the game in an eventual 32-27 defeat to Tennessee.
