Alec Pierce - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Consider in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce remains a fringe fantasy option in deeper leagues. He ranks as a modest WR4 option in leagues with 14-plus teams as the Colts get ready for Saturday's clash against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pierce has delivered shaky week-over-week production […]

Isaiah McKenzie Inactive For Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 15 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Saturday represents the first time this season that McKenzie is inactive. Through his previous 13 games, he totaled 11 catches and 82 receiving yards. Given the 28-year-old's depth role, his absence has no fantasy implications. Michael […]

Rams Elevate Tyler Johnson From Practice Squad

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster, the team announced on Saturday. Johnson, who totaled 360 yards with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, hasn't registered a target over the last two seasons. Furthermore, he hasn't appeared in a game this year. However, […]

Eagles Will Designate Avonte Maddox To Return

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox (pectoral) will soon be designated to return from injured reserve, according to Josh Tolentino of the Philadelphia Enquirer.

If Philadelphia doesn't activate him by the end of that […]

Jonathan Taylor Could Return In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) has a "realistic chance" to return in Week 16 versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The star playmaker hasn't appeared in a game since Week 12 when he broke free for 91 yards and two touchdowns. As soon as he's able to return, he […]

Kenny Pickett Pushing To Return In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) is "pushing to play" against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, Rapoport notes that delaying his return to Week 17 "is a bit more realistic." Regardless, it appears that the second-year quarterback is making progress and will be healthy for the Steelers' […]

Jamal Agnew Activated From Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jamal Agnew (shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve after being limited in practice his past week. He's officially questionable to suit up against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, but his activation to the 53-man roster suggests that he's good to go. As the No. 3 wide receiver behind Calvin Ridley […]

DJ Reader, DJ Ivey Won't Return In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader (knee) and cornerback DJ Ivey (knee) exited during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Both players have been ruled out and will not return. Neither player registered a tackle prior to their respective departures. Zach Carter and Josh Tupou will earn more snaps in Reader's […]

Trey Sermon - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Avoid In All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB6 ANALYSIS: The Indianapolis Colts are preparing for another week without star running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb). He's expected to return later this season, but until then, Zack Moss will operate as the leader in Indianapolis' backfield. Although Moss will get the bulk of the carries on […]

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (toe) participated in his first practice of the week this Friday. He was limited and is officially questionable to play against the New York Jets on Sunday.

Dalton Kincaid Cleared To Play Sunday Versus Cowboys

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (thumb, shoulder) has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. He had been limited in practice all week long.

Tyquan Thornton Questionable For Week 15

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) is officially questionable to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. He practiced in a limited capacity on Friday. Even if the second-year wideout is able to suit up for this AFC battle, he remains off the fantasy radar given his current role in the offense, […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, DeVante Parker Questionable To Face Chiefs

New England Patriots wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and DeVante Parker (knee) are officially questionable to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Both players practiced in a limited capacity on Friday.

Rhamondre Stevenson Ruled Out For Week 15

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) remained absent from practice on Friday and has officially been ruled out for Week 15 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Questionable To Face Texans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (illness) was added to the injury report after missing practice on Friday. He is officially questionable to play against the Houston Texans in Week 15.

Ke'Shawn Vaughn Waived By Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers waived running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn on Friday. The 26-year-old had appeared in just six games this season, never registering more than 30 percent of offensive snaps in a single contest. His 2023 campaign as a Buccaneer ends with just 42 rushing yards and two receiving yards. Even if he latches on […]

C.J. Stroud Doubtful To Play In Week 15

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is officially doubtful to play against the Tennessee Titans after missing all three practices this week. While the team is technically leaving the door open for him to clear protocol and suit up, they have acknowledged that such an outcome is unlikely. Therefore, Davis Mills figures to draw the […]

Dalton Schultz Cleared To Play In Week 15

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (hamstring) practiced in a full capacity for the third consecutive day. He has officially been removed from the injury report and will play against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.

Nico Collins, Noah Brown Questionable To Play In Week 15

Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (calf) and Noah Brown (knee) are questionable to play against the Tennessee Titans. At this rate, it seems highly unlikely that Collins will play considering he was a non-participant in practice this week. That would put Brown, a limited participant, in line to operate as the Texans' No. 1 […]

The 14th Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went.

William Gholston Questionable To Return Sunday

C.J. Stroud Evaluated For Concussion In Week 14

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He is being evaluated for a concussion and is officially questionable to return. Given that the Texans were losing by three scores when he departed, it seems likely that his day is done. If so, the […]

Kentavius Street Done For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons defensive lineman Kentavius Street (shoulder) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had three tackles and one sack at the time of his departure. Albert Huggins should earn more snaps until the 27-year-old can return.

Blake Cashman, Tavierre Thomas Done For Week 14

Houston Texans linebacker Blake Cashman (hamstring) and cornerback Tavierre Thomas (hamstring) have been ruled out for the remainder of Week 14 versus the New York Jets.

Dawson Knox Officially Active Versus Chiefs

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (wrist) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after being activated from IR on Saturday. Given that Dalton Kincaid has emerged as the Bills' clear No. 1 tight end, Knox can't be […]

Samaje Perine Officially Active Versus Chargers

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (knee) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite missing practice Friday and being listed as questionable, the expectation as that Perine would play. Indeed, the veteran will suit up, using his pass-catching skills to rank as a high-end RB4 in PPR leagues.

Maxx Crosby Active For Week 14 Versus Vikings

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is officially active for Week 14 versus the Minnesota Vikings. Although the star defender had been listed as questionable after practicing just once this past week, he was trending in the right direction ahead of gameday.
