Ka'imi Fairbairn In Starter Territory At Kansas City

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn is yet again a top kicking option with his team set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. The UCLA product is coming off back-to-back perfect weeks, has not missed an extra point this season, and is the overall No. 2 at his position for fantasy points. Kansas […]

Texans D/ST Suddenly A No-Go In Week 16

The Houston Texans D/ST looked to be a top-10 fantasy option in Week 16 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but the promising prognosis for quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is good news for everything but Houston's fantasy outlook. Instead of backup quarterback Carson Wentz, it's business as usual for the 13-1 Chiefs, making the Texans' Saturday […]

Dalton Schultz Held To Two Catches Against Dolphins

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted four times Sunday against Miami, but finished with just two catches for 13 yards in a 20-12 victory. It was the tight end's second-lowest output of the season after being held to 11 receiving yards against Minnesota in Week 3. In this one, however, every other Texans […]

Only Two Targets For Tank Dell Against Miami

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell drew only two targets Sunday against Miami, catching both for a total of 26 yards in the 20-12 win. He also ran once for 15 yards, bringing his yardage total to 41 on the day. Dell certainly wasn't alone in having a meager performance, as Houston gained 181 total […]

Dolphins Keep Joe Mixon To 56 Total Yards

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon gained only 23 rushing yards on 12 carries on Sunday in a 20-12 victory against the Miami Dolphins, but managed to salvage some fantasy value by catching five passes on six targets for 33 yards. The entire Houston offense compiled just 181 total yards in the game, so the […]

Low-Volume Day For C.J. Stroud Against Fins

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had an efficient but low-volume game against the Miami Dolphins, completing 18 of 26 passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 20-12 victory. He also ran six times for four yards and lost a fumble. The entire Houston offense had a slow day, managing only […]

Nico Collins Saves Slow Day With Two TDs

Wide receiver Nico Collins of the Houston Texans had his lowest receiving output of the season Sunday against the Miami Dolphins but still caught two passes for touchdowns in his team's 20-12 win. The Texans' No. 1 receiver managed just four catches on six targets for a meager 17 yards but snagged two six-yard touchdowns […]

Travis Homer Not A Starting Option Against Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer could be in line to start on Monday against the Minnesota Vikings, but he should remain on waiver wires for managers in the fantasy playoffs. D'Andre Swift (groin) is questionable and Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out, leaving the veteran as the would-be starter if Swift is unable […]

Desmond Ridder Still Not On Fantasy Radar Vs. Falcons

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder is not a starting option in fantasy, even if he ends up playing Monday against the Atlanta Falcons. Raiders starter Aidan O'Connell (knee) is questionable, and with Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) out for the season, Ridder would start if O'Connell cannot. The former Cincinnati Bearcat is on his third […]

Tim Patrick A Desperation Option Against Bills

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick is a desperation play on Sunday in the Lions' showdown with the Buffalo Bills. The veteran has played more than half of Detroit's snaps in seven of the past eight games and is coming off a two-touchdown performance against Green Bay last week. That level of production, however, has […]

Commanders Elevate Kicker Greg Joseph

The Washington Commanders elevated veteran kicker Greg Joseph from their practice squad with Zane Gonzalez (foot) questionable to play the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. It's likely a form of insurance for Washington, which put starter Austin Seibert (groin) on injured reserve earlier this year. Gonzalez was limited in practice earlier this week, but […]

Sterling Shepard Likely To Play Vs. Chargers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) is expected to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Adam Schefter. The veteran has been a decent fill-in with wide receiver Chris Godwin out for the season, logging 13 catches in the past three games. Even though the Bucs received good news on Shepard, […]

Chargers Optimistic Ladd McConkey Can Play Sunday

The Los Angeles Chargers are optimistic that rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (knee, shoulder) will be able to play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to a report from NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie is questionable, did not play last week against Kansas City, and was limited in practice all week, but the […]

Bucky Irving Expected To Play In Week 15

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (hip, back) is expected to play Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie left last week's game after just five touches and did not practice until Friday, but is apparently well enough to give it a shot against the Chargers. […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Week 15 Updates For Breece Hall, Joe Burrow, Bucky Irving, George Pickens, Kenneth Walker III

It's that time of the year when all of us are reminded of what really matters in life: fantasy football playoffs. This week, the first round of the playoffs in the majority of formats brings quite a few matchup decisions for managers who made the postseason, as would-be starters like Breece Hall, Bucky Irving, George […]

Superflex Only Matchup For C.J. Stroud Against Miami

The Miami Dolphins have been one of the toughest matchups in the NFL for fantasy quarterbacks, which means C.J. Stroud of the Houston Texans should only be started in Superflex leagues in Week 15. The Dolphins rank third overall against fantasy quarterbacks, while last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year has finished outside of the […]

Joe Mixon Back To RB1 Status Against Dolphins

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon is once again an RB1 candidate when his team plays host to the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. The veteran back has been ultra consistent in his first season in Houston, finishing inside the top 15 for running backs in eight of his 10 games this year. Interestingly, the […]

Nico Collins A Must-Start Against Strong Miami Defense

The Miami Dolphins have been one of the best defenses in the NFL against wide receivers, but Nico Collins of the Houston Texans remains a must-start option in Week 15. Since returning from Injured Reserve, the fourth-year receiver is averaging nine targets and 88 receiving yards, putting him in elite fantasy territory. The Dolphins allow […]

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 […]
