Brandin Cooks Limited Again Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (neck) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice ahead of a Week 15 divisional contest with the Colts. Interim head coach Romeo Crennel stated earlier in the week that he thought Cooks could return in Week 15 provided he could get through the practice week- that appears to be […]

Michael Thomas Held Out Of Practice On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was held out of practice Thursday. Thomas was absent at practice for the second straight day, a marked difference from his normal practice routine of the past couple of weeks. As of right now, the All-Pro wideout should be considered genuinely questionable for the big contest against […]

Ronald Jones II To Have Surgery On Finger

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (finger) will have surgery to have a pin placed in his injured pinkie finger on Tuesday. It's unclear when the injury occurred, as Jones managed to play a full game in the win over the Vikings, but it's an ailment that caused teammate Chris Godwin to miss […]

Randall Cobb Unlikely To Return This Season

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb (toe) is likely to miss the rest of the season, according to interim head coach Romeo Crennel. Cobb suffered a toe injury and was placed on injured reserve in Week 11, though it was initially thought that he'd have a chance to return to the field. That doesn't appear […]

Curtis Samuel Catches Seven Of Nine Targets In Loss

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel caught seven of nine targets for 68 receiving yards in a 32-27 loss to the Broncos. Samuel added 22 rushing yards as he benefited from the absences of both D.J. Moore (COVID-19) and Christian McCaffrey (shoulder, quad). The 24-year-old has exceeded 65 receiving yards in four of his last […]

Robby Anderson Sees 12 Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson hauled in eight of a game-high 12 targets for 84 receiving yards in a 32-27 loss to the Broncos.

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis carried the ball 11 times for 5 rushing yards with two scores and caught five passes for 42 receiving yards in a loss to Denver. Davis had his best game as the lead back since Week 5, as he took advantage of a Broncos Defense that has struggled against […]

Teddy Bridgewater Scores Rushing Touchdown

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater completed 30 of 40 passing attempts for 283 yards along with 31 rushing yards and a score in a 32-27 loss to the Broncos. Bridgewater's 40 pass attempts were the third-highest total of the year, as the Panthers found themselves playing catch-up. While he didn't throw for any scores, it […]

Buccaneers Defense Posts Strong Effort

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense put up a strong effort in a 26-14 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Tampa Bay got after Kirk Cousins, hitting him 12 times and sacking him six times. Shaquil Barrett led the way for the Buccaneers, with two sacks and two tackles for loss. This seemed like a get-right performance […]

Rob Gronkowski Scores Against Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski only caught one pass in a Week 14 win over Minnesota, though he made it count. The veteran tight end caught his fifth touchdown of the year from quarterback Tom Brady, a beautiful, leaping grab in the back of the end zone that extended the Tampa Bay lead […]

Antonio Brown Paces Team In Receptions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown led his team in receptions in a 26-14 victory. Brown hauled in all five of his targets for 49 receiving yards against the Vikings Defense. Since Tampa Bay jumped out to a 17-6 lead at the half, Tom Brady's arm wasn't needed much, which in turn led to […]

Chris Godwin Has Quiet Day In Win Over Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin had his lowest output of the season in a win over the Vikings. Godwin caught two of three targets for 25 receiving yards, as the passing game largely wasn't needed for much of the contest. This game snapped a three-game streak where Godwin recorded at least six catches […]

Mike Evans Leads Team In Receiving Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught three of five targets for 56 receiving yards in a win over Minnesota. Evans did most of his damage on a third-quarter drive, where he hauled in two passes for 36 receiving yards, helping lead to a Buccaneers' touchdown. The Buccaneers weren't going to pass much with […]

Ronald Jones II Totals 84 Scrimmage Yards And A Score

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II carried the ball 18 times for 80 yards and a rushing touchdown in the 26-14 win over the Vikings. Jones added a catch for four receiving yards, as he had the backfield to himself with Leonard Fournette inactive. All things considered, it was a bit of a […]

Tom Brady Throws For Two Scores In Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady completed 15 of 23 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns in a victory over the Vikings. Brady's arm wasn't needed much in this contest, as Tampa Bay built up a 17-6 halftime lead. Still, the veteran quarterback was effective, averaging a healthy 8.5 yards per attempt, much of […]

Drew Brees Uncertain For Next Week

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs, lung) is uncertain for Week 15 against the Chiefs. Brees reportedly attempted to throw at practice, though he's still dealing with pain and discomfort- the session didn't go well. Sitting at 10-2 with a playoff berth already locked up, New Orleans is clearly not going to rush back […]

Christian McCaffrey Won't Play In Week 14

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder, quad) won't play in Week 14 against the Broncos. This was expected after he reportedly tweaked his quad during a workout, though it's nice to get the news as we inch closer to kickoff. Mike Davis will lead the backfield against Denver and should put up RB2 numbers, […]

Brandin Cooks Not Expected To Play

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) isn't expected to play against the Bears, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. There were conflicting reports regarding Cooks' status, though barring a significant improvement, Rapoport says that Cooks will ultimately sit out the contest. Keke Coutee (knee), who was already an appealing play without the presence […]

Khalil Mack Will Play Against Texans

Chicago Bears defensive end Khalil Mack (shoulder) will play against the Texans in Week 14. Mack ramped up his practice activity to limited on Friday, which was a good sign as he'll ultimately be out there against Houston. The Chicago pass defense has struggled in recent weeks, though Mack has done his part with 6.5 […]

Optimism That Frank Gore Plays Against Seahawks

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (concussion) should be on the field against the Seahawks. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Gore needs to "clear a final hurdle" in the morning before the team can confidently say he'll play. Fellow backs Ty Johnson and Josh Adams picked up the slack last week in Gore's absence, […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Kenyan Drake Expected To Play

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (neck, back) and running back Kenyan Drake (hip) are both expected to play against the Giants. There was at least some doubt about their availability, though the fact that they both were able to get limited practices in boded well for their status in Week 14. Averaging 9.7 targets […]

Josh Jacobs Looking Good For Week 14

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle) is trending in the right direction after being listed as questionable and should play against the Colts in Week 14. Jacobs was able to practice in a limited fashion, unlike last week when he was ruled out, which is why there's optimism about his status. His return […]

Irv Smith Jr. Likely To Return Against Buccaneers

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (back) is expected to return to the field against the Buccaneers. While the team expects Smith to be out there, albeit a bit limited, they've listed fellow tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) as doubtful for the contest. Smith, who has scored at least 10 PPR points in three […]

Brandin Cooks, Keke Coutee Expected To Play In Week 14

Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) and Keke Coutee (knee) were listed as questionable but are expected to play in Week 14 against the Bears. Both players were able to take the practice field- Cooks as a limited participant and Coutee as a full participant over the last two days of practice- which […]

Tee Higgins Likely To Suit Up Against Dallas

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is expected to be on the field for his team's Week 14 matchup with Dallas. Higgins practiced in a limited fashion for all three of the sessions this week, so it comes as little surprise that he'll be out there against a Cowboys' defense that has allowed 21 […]

Matthew Stafford, D'Andre Swift Expected To Play

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) and running back D'Andre Swift (illness) are both expected to play in Week 14 against the Packers. Both players were able to practice fully on Friday, lending optimism towards their status for the divisional contest. Swift has missed the last three games with both a concussion and a non-COVID […]

Ezekiel Elliott Will Play Against Bengals

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) was listed as questionable but will play against the Bengals in Week 14. Elliott has been a bit banged up over the last several weeks, with the calf bruise being the latest ailment, which he suffered during last week's game against Baltimore. With over 95 scrimmage yards in […]

Curtis Samuel In The WR3 Conversation

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel returned to practice Friday after the team activated him from the Reserve/COVID list. Samuel's return comes at a good time for the Panthers' offense, as they'll be without Christian McCaffrey (shoulder, quad) and D.J. Moore (COVID-19) for the contest against the Broncos. The 24-year-old has exceeded 70 receiving yards […]

Robby Anderson Should See More Targets

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson should see even more targets in Week 14 against the Broncos. Anderson has already been a target hog this year- as he's one of just 15 players with at least 100 targets this season- and that should continue with D.J. Moore (COVID-19) likely out. The Broncos have actually allowed […]

Mike Davis Set To Lead Backfield In Week 14

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Davis will be in the saddle once again for his team as the lead back against the Broncos. Davis has bumped up the depth chart after Christian McCaffrey (shoulder, quad) reportedly tweaked his quad in practice as he neared a return. Davis hasn't exactly impressed in his last three games […]
