Philip Rivers Will Likely Need Offseason Surgery

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is expected to play through his injury in Week 13- and for the remainder of the season- though it's serious enough that the veteran signal-caller will require offseason surgery. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport described the injury as a more serious version of turf toe, as it's officially a rupture […]

Kalen Ballage Expected To Suit Up Against Patriots

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Patriots. Ballage handled 20-plus touches in two games sans Austin Ekeler, though the latter returned with Ballage out last week and saw a monstrous, 25-touch workload. Ekeler is the obvious lead back in Los Angeles, though the team likely […]

Daniel Jones Not Expected To Play

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play on Sunday against the Seahawks. Jones is still recovering from a hamstring injury he sustained while scrambling during last week's game against the Bengals, though the team is optimistic about his Week 14 status. However, this means that Colt McCoy will get the […]

Jadeveon Clowney To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Tennessee Titans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee) had season-ending knee surgery on Wednesday to repair his left meniscus. The team originally thought that Clowney would be able to return after placing him on Injured Reserve though that will not be the case. It's a disappointing end to the season for the pass-rusher, who signed a […]

Drew Brees Eligible To Return In Week 14

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs, lung) could return in Week 14 against the Eagles. ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Brees is improving from his injuries and was spotted throwing in practice. Brees is eligible to be activated as early as next week, though that doesn't necessarily mean he will play, as the Saints […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Start Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (COVID-19) is expected to start on Tuesday against the Cowboys. While Jackson hasn't officially been activated off the COVID/Reserve list, one would expect the move to happen at some point on Sunday. The star signal-caller missed last week's game after testing positive for the virus amidst a teamwide outbreak. He'll […]

Phillip Lindsay, Jerry Jeudy Expected To Play

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) are both expected to play against the Chiefs in Week 13. Both Lindsay and Jeudy were full participants at Friday's practice, indicating that they're very much on the right side of questionable. Lindsay has handled 25 touches over the past two weeks […]

Chiefs Hopeful Clyde Edwards-Helaire Will Play

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) has been dealing with the flu but is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Broncos. Edwards-Helaire didn't practice on Thursday or Friday, though the team made it clear that he doesn't need practice reps to play. The rookie back reportedly felt better late Saturday night […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Return In Week 13 As Starter

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is expected to be active and start against the Bengals in Week 13. Tagovailoa missed last week's contest after jamming his thumb against a helmet during practice, though he was back taking the first-team reps in the lead up to Sunday's game against Cincinnati. Tagovailoa is more game-manager than […]

Carlos Hyde Will Play Against Giants

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (toe) will play against the Giants in Week 13. Hyde had his reps managed during the week, though he was able to get a limited session in on Friday. The veteran back put up 95 scrimmage yards and one touchdown as the fill-in starter for Chris Carson back in […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II Looking Good For Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) are both looking good for the team's Week 13 matchup with the Saints. Both Jones and Gurley sat out last week's game, though their ability to put in limited sessions in Friday's practice had Atlanta optimistic for their chances of suiting […]

Allen Robinson, Darnell Mooney Expected To Play

Chicago Bears wide receivers Allen Robinson (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) are both expected to play in Sunday's game against the Lions. Robinson tweaked his knee during Friday's practice and was held out for the remainder of the session as a precaution. Mooney was held out from Friday's session altogether, though head coach Matt Nagy […]

Younghoe Koo A Top Option In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has been cleared to play in Week 13 against the Saints. Koo was dealing with a quad injury, though he is good to go for the divisional rematch with New Orleans. The 26-year-old has been the best kicker in fantasy football this year, which shouldn't change against the Saints. Koo […]

Russell Gage Hard To Trust Against Saints

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has been a streaky fantasy performer this year. Gage has just four games this year with over 50 receiving yards and has been a little too streaky for his fantasy managers. The former LSU receiver has had some of his best games with Julio Jones (hamstring) in the lineup- […]

Calvin Ridley A Strong Play Against New Orleans

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley (foot, ankle) is good to go for a rematch with the New Orleans secondary in Week 13. Ridley has been banged up for a couple of weeks now but has still produced, putting up at least five catches and 50 yards in his last two games. The Saints' secondary […]

Julio Jones A Must-Start If Active

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is a must-start fantasy option if active for Sunday's game against the Saints. Jones appears to be on the right side of questionable after a limited session on Friday. The All-Pro wideout has averaged 7.4 receptions and 116.4 receiving yards on 9.6 targets per game with three touchdowns […]

Todd Gurley II Should Be Avoided If Active For Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Saints, though it would appear he has a good shot to play. If Gurley plays, he'll be taking on a Saints team that possesses the second-best run defense in the NFL. Gurley has struggled to a 3.7 yards per carry […]

Matt Ryan More Of A QB2 Against Saints

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been struggling as of late with a matchup against New Orleans on tap. Without the presence of his favorite receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), Ryan has thrown for just 417 passing yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in his last two games. The Saints Defense has been on a […]

Hayden Hurst A Low-End TE1 In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) is set for a Week 13 rematch with the Saints. Hurst had a 'DNP' on Thursday, though that was likely maintenance by the team, considering he returned to practice in a limited fashion on Friday. Hurst was held without a catch in his first meeting with the Saints […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II Listed As Questionable

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) are both questionable for Sunday's contest against New Orleans. Both players were limited Friday after sitting out on Thursday, giving them a good chance to suit up. It's also worth noting that both Jones and Gurley weren't able to practice last […]

Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas Good To Go

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) are both good to go for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Both players were full participants in Friday's practice after the Saints held them back on Wednesday and Thursday for maintenance reasons. Kamara had previously hauled in at least five receptions […]

Jordan Akins Facing Tough Test In Week 13

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins faces a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Colts. Akins seems to be the current leader in the tight end room and could have more looks in the passing game with Will Fuller V (suspension) out for the remainder of the year with a PED suspension. Still, trusting […]

Keke Coutee A Risky Play Against Colts

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee gets a difficult matchup against the Colts in Week 13. Coutee is in line for more work this week and beyond due to Will Fuller V (suspension) being out for a PED suspension. The 23-year-old has generally thrived in the past when given volume in the passing game, though […]

Brandin Cooks Should See Increased Volume

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks should see increased volume down the stretch in the absence of teammate Will Fuller V, who was suspended for the rest of the season for performance-enhancing drugs. Cooks has averaged 7.1 targets per game this year, though one would expect that number to settle around 10 per game without […]

Duke Johnson A Low-End RB2 Against Colts

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson could lead the backfield another time in Week 13 if David Johnson (concussion) isn't activated. David Johnson reportedly looked good in practice, though there's no guarantee that he'll be out there Sunday. Despite being gashed by Derrick Henry last week, the Colts are not a matchup to target for […]

Deshaun Watson Remains A QB1 Despite Matchup

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson will be facing off with the tough Colts' defense for the first time this season in Week 13. Watson will be doing so without the services of his favorite target, Will Fuller V (suspension), who will miss the rest of the season after being suspended for PEDs. While the loss […]

Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas Limited Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (foot) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) were both limited participants in Thursday's practice. Both Thomas and Kamara have had their practice reps capped in each of the past two weeks as they continue to deal with their respective injuries. There's nothing to suggest that they won't be […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II, Hayden Hurst Sit Out Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring), running back Todd Gurley II (knee), and tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) all missed Thursday's practice. All three were able to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday, so it's certainly not ideal to see a downgrade in their activity levels. Still, the Falcons could just be exercising […]

Younghoe Koo Should Be Good To Go

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (quad) should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Saints. Koo was limited during Wednesday's practice with a quad injury, though special teams' coordinator Bernie Parmalee said that Koo "is going to be ok." That would be good news for fantasy managers, as Koo currently sits atop the […]

Rob Gronkowski Records Season-High 106 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski hauled in six of seven targets for a season-high 106 yards against the Chiefs. He looked like vintage Gronkowski out there, as he and Tom Brady connected on a few big plays down the field, including a 48-yard, catch-and-run play. There probably won't be many weeks where the […]
