Diontae Johnson Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Even with the NFL's updated policies, it will be hard for Johnson to get cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but it is possible if Johnson is vaccinated and has two negative tests before the game. If Johnson does […]

Sony Michel Faces Tough Test on Sunday

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel faces a tough test on Sunday in a crucial showdown with the San Francisco 49ers. On one hand, this is one of the only games in Week 18 where both teams have something to play for; the 49ers and trying to clinch a playoff spot, while the Rams […]

Kyle Pitts Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday after having to leave Sunday's game against the Bills early. Pitts was clearly hampered by the injury on Sunday, trying to come back into the game in the 2nd half and running with a noticeable limp. The Falcons want to get their star back […]

Devin Singletary Is The Bills' Clear Top Back In Week 18

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has emerged as the team's clear lead back over the last month of the season, playing a minimum of 70% of snaps in four straight games. Additionally, no other running back has seen more than 11% of the team's carries over that span, so the Bills rushing attack is […]

Darren Waller Returns To Practice On Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. It's a big step in the right direction for the star, and the team has said that Thursday will be a big day for him. If Waller responds well to Wednesday's work, then they can begin to ramp up […]

Mike Evans Has No Setbacks With Hamstring

Tampa Bay Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, and head coach Bruce Arians said the star receiver was fine and had no setbacks after playing against the Jets last week. With Antonio Brown seemingly on his way out the door and Chris Godwin out for the year, […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Doesn't Feel Good After Throwing

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) said he "didn't feel so hot" after throwing for the first time since injuring his thumb on Dec. 23. Since Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams is a must-win game for the 49ers as they try to clinch a playoff spot, it would seem likely that the […]

Miles Sanders Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) was not at practice on Wednesday and would seem highly unlikely to play on Sunday with the Eagles having already clinched a playoff spot. Without Sanders last week, Boston Scott led to backfield by playing 52.5% of the snaps and taking 41.2% of the carries to Jordan Howard's […]

Jerry Jeudy Activated From COVID-19 List

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was activated from the COVID-IR on Wednesday, as was teammate Tim Patrick, making them eligible to play in Saturday's game against the Chiefs. With Teddy Bridgewater landing on the IR, Jeudy and Patrick will be catching passes from Drew Lock for another game, which hasn't led to much success […]

Teddy Bridgewater Placed On IR To Officially End Season

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, officially ending his season and potentially his time with the Denver Broncos after just one season. Drew Lock will continue to start in place of Bridgewater when the Broncos take on the Chiefs on Saturday to close out their season. The Broncos […]

Antonio Gibson Activated From COVID-19 List

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson was activated from the COVID-IR on Wednesday, making him eligible to play on Sunday. However, Gibson has been dealing with a fractured shin for much of the season, and with Washington eliminated from playoff contention, it's possible the team rests Gibson and lets rookie Jaret Patterson carry the […]

Kirk Cousins Will Start On Sunday Against The Bears

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was activated off of the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and is set to start on Sunday against the Bears. Head coach Mike Zimmer said that all starters will play their usual allotment of snaps, which means that Cousins, Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn are all in play for fantasy […]

Jamison Crowder Back At Practice On Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is back at practice on Wednesday, and while the veteran hasn't been fantasy relevant for much of the season, his return to the slot could dampen the production of Braxton Berrios, who has begun to break out of late. While Berrios will certainly still be a part […]

James Conner Back At Practice On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing the last two weeks with an ankle injury. Considering this is an early practice, it's a good sign for Conner's availability that he was able to be back and working out; however, it is not a guarantee that he plays. […]

Ronald Jones II Not Present At Practice On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) wasn't present at the open portion of practice Wednesday after leaving Sunday's game early with an injury. Wednesday practices are usually light for Tampa, so we don't want to jump to conclusions yet, but this is a situation to monitor, especially since backup Ke'Shawn Vaughn (ribs) […]

That's two weeks in a row now that we've really been back on track. This time, hitting on eight of the top 10 defenses, even though I didn't see Atlanta and Washington coming.
