Tough Matchup Facing Houston's Tank Dell

Managers rostering Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell are likely reluctant to trust him at this point, which is probably the correct instinct in a difficult matchup against the Miami Dolphins. It has been quite the ride for the second-year receiver, who was initially the No. 3 behind receivers Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, then […]

Dalton Schultz A High-Floor, Low-Ceiling Option Vs. Miami

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a TE2 as his team prepares to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. The big tight end finally broke a long touchdown drought in his last outing and has a respectable 16 targets in his past three contests, but also has been limited to […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn A Starting Option Against Dolphins

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is once again a starting-caliber option as the Texans prepare to take on Miami in Week 15. The overall No. 2 fantasy kicker wobbled a bit with a devastating short-yardage miss in Week 12, but rebounded with a three-for-three performance in Week 13 prior to Houston's bye last week. Miami […]

Texans D/ST Should Be Avoided Against Miami Skill Players

Fantasy managers in elimination games should steer clear of the Houston Texans defense/special teams unit in a tricky matchup with the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. Miami boasts top-10 fantasy players at running back and tight end with De'Von Achane and Jonnu Smith, respectively, and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are among the […]

Should I Bench Tyrone Tracy Jr.? Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 15

Of all the seasons the New York Giants have had in their history, 2024 is certainly... one of them. Already eliminated from the playoffs, already rid of Daniel Jones, and in contention for the first overall pick, New York's lost season has seen some promising offensive rookies in receiver Malik Nabers, now-injured tight end Theo […]

Evan Engram Done For Season

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) requires surgery and will miss the rest of the season, according to J.P. Shadrick of the Jaguars Radio Network. The veteran was second on the team with 64 targets and 47 catches in just nine games played. It's yet another blow for the Jags in a season full […]

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 […]

Mike Gesicki A TE2 Option In Week 14

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 […]

Ladd McConkey A True Game-Time Decision

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) is considered a true game-time decision to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This development puts fantasy managers in a bind: McConkey is an effective WR2 option if he plays, but as the Sunday Night Football game, managers […]

Alexander Mattison Unlikely To Play Vs. Bucs

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is a "long-shot" to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. 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, […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Miss Week 14

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. The veteran already had seen a decrease in playing time, logging fewer than 40% of Miami's snaps in five straight weeks. Running back De'Von Achane will […]

Keon Coleman A Game-Time Decision In Week 14

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. The rookie from Florida State has not played since Week 9 and is listed as questionable this week. Buffalo has still vaulted to 10-2 despite missing Coleman and tight […]

Dalton Kincaid Not Expected To Play

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), who is listed as questionable to play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14, is not expected to suit up, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The second-year tight end has not played since Week 10, but the Bills are now up to seven consecutive wins. Wide receiver […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Week 14 Updates For Bucky Irving, DK Metcalf, Malik Nabers, Mike Evans, Breece Hall

It's desperation time for fantasy leagues that are down to the final week of the regular season. Week 14 has quite a few obstacles to overcome: six teams are on a bye, time is running out, and waiver wires are thinning quickly as managers monitor injuries to starting-caliber players like Malik Nabers, Breece Hall, Bucky […]

Malik Nabers Not Practicing On Friday

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. The rookie from LSU missing Friday's practice is not a positive development, so it will be worth checking to see how the Giants designate […]

Bucky Irving Returns To Practice

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 […]

Baker Mayfield Participating In Practice On Friday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (Achilles, knee) is once again practicing on Friday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. The former No. 1 overall pick also registered full practices the two prior days, so it stands to reason that he will be good to go for Week 14 against the Las Vegas Raiders. […]

Mike Evans Practices On Friday

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. The veteran receiver has been excellent when healthy, and is coming off a dominant day against the […]

Is Kenneth Walker III Hurt or Healthy? Injury Update for Fantasy Football Week 14 (2024)

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. Walker is getting steady involvement as a pass catcher with a career-best 38 receptions in just 10 games, and his seven rushing […]

Should I Pick Up Kimani Vidal or Isaac Guerendo? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 14

Well, here we are again. San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) are injured, vacating highly desirable roles for fantasy running backs. The 49ers are mathematically alive in the NFC West with five games to play, while the Chargers are jostling for a Wild Card […]

Joe Mixon Bounces Back With 100-Yard Day

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major […]

Big Day For Nico Collins Against Jacksonville

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins put up a big day with a great matchup, torching the Jacksonville Jaguars for eight catches and 119 yards in a 23-20 victory. The Michigan Man drew a team-best 11 targets and accumulated a productive fantasy day without finding the end zone. Collins has returned from injury and resumed […]

Only One Catch For Tank Dell Vs. Jags

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell finished with just one catch for 21 yards on four targets Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Houston held on to win 23-20, but the second-year receiver drew fewer targets than running back Joe Mixon and tight end Dalton Schultz, and caught one fewer pass than fellow receiver John Metchie […]

Dalton Schultz Breaks Year-Long Touchdown Drought

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz broke a regular-season touchdown drought of more than a year, finding the end zone and accumulating five catches for 61 yards in a 23-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran had not scored in 17 straight regular-season games prior to Sunday, but connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for […]

Unremarkable Day For Houston’s C.J. Stroud

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had a moderately productive day against one of the NFL's worst defenses, finishing 22-for-34 for 242 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in a 23-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also rushed for eight yards in the win. The Texans managed only two field goals in the first […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Week 13 Updates For Trevor Lawrence, DK Metcalf, Breece Hall, Brock Purdy

With four games already in the books this week, fantasy managers will turn to the remainder of matchups, hoping to either turn the tide or complete a win as the fantasy playoffs approach. Six more teams are on a bye in Week 14, so this week's slate could be critical for making lineup decisions with […]

Slumping 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 […]

Porous Jags Defense Offers Rebound Chance For Joe Mixon

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. The Jags rank 31st against fantasy running backs and have allowed more yards after the catch than everyone except New Orleans, giving a highly involved […]

Week-Winning Potential For Nico Collins In Week 13

Fantasy managers rostering Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins are dreaming of big-time points against a bad Jacksonville Jaguars defense in Week 13. The star receiver has a ready-made matchup against a defense that has allowed the second-most yards after the catch, fourth-most total yards, and third-most points against fantasy receivers. Houston has had pass […]

Great 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 […]
