Cade Stover Is Back, But Remains Off the Fantasy Radar

He has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games and has 20 targets from backup QB Davis Mills over the last two weeks. Mills will make another start against the Bills on […]

Jayden Higgins Still a High-Risk Play Despite Growing Role
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins has stepped into a larger role for the Texans since his Week 6 bye week. He is still a high-risk play against the Bills on Thursday Night Football, though, especially with Davis Mills filling in for C.J. Stroud (concussion). Higgins has gotten seven targets in each of Mills' first […]

Nico Collins a Top-10 Receiver Even With a Backup Quarterback

Nick Chubb Fading From Fantasy Football Relevance?
Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb has played a reduced role in the last few weeks, and it's hard to trust him this Thursday night, even in a favorable matchup against the Bills. Chubb played only 18 snaps (26%) in Week 11 against the Titans and had just three carries for 17 yards. It was […]

Woody Marks is a Fringe RB2 Against the Bills
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks seems to be grabbing most of the work in his team's backfield, and he'll be a good flex option on Thursday Night Football against the Bills.

Davis Mills Set for His Third Straight Start
Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills will make his third straight start for the Texans after helping his team past the Jaguars and Titans the last two weeks. He'll face the Bills on Thursday night, stepping in for C.J. Stroud (concussion), who is still not ready to return. Mills has put up solid numbers in both […]

Detroit Pistons forward Ausar Thompson (ankle) has been sidelined for four straight games with an ankle sprain, but he seems to be nearing a return after moving well in Monday's shootaround before being ruled out along with Cade Cunningham (hip).

Cade Cunningham is Questionable Tuesday in Atlanta
Detroit Pistons point guard Cade Cunningham (hip) has missed the last three games for his team, which has stayed hot in his absence, extending their winning streak to 10 games by beating the Pacers on Monday.

Shedeur Sanders Worth a Look on the Waiver Wire?
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders made his long-awaited NFL debut on Sunday against the Ravens, but the rookie struggled mightily, completing only four of his 16 pass attempts for 47 yards with an interception and adding three rushing attempts for 16 yards.

Brock Wright Sets Career-High in Targets; Lined Up for More Work?
Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright was targeted seven times on Sunday night against the Eagles, but he only hauled in two catches for eight yards. It was a new career-high for the veteran in his fifth season out of Notre Dame. Wright was in a bigger role with SamLaPorta (back) on IR, and he […]

Does Brandon Aiyuk Make a Good Waiver-Wire Stash?
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is over a year removed from his injury and should be nearing a return based on the team's expectations coming into the season. However, he still hasn't had his 21-day practice window opened, and that won't happen this week, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. While he's […]

Is Blake Corum Getting Enough Opportunities?
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum continues to get significant opportunities in the team's rushing game, and he can be a deep-league addition if you're looking for running back options on the waiver wire.

Should You Add Jaleel McLaughlin in His Growing Role?
Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin should be in a key timeshare for the surging Broncos for the next several weeks after the significant injury to J.K. Dobbins (foot). McLaughlin had only been active for one game and had just one carry all season until last week against the Chiefs, when he took six carries […]

Christian Watson Is a Great Grab from the Waiver Wire
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson could be set up for a few weeks as the team's top pass-catcher before the potential return of Jayden Reed (collarbone/foot) from IR. In his growing role, he makes a nice addition if he's on the waiver wire in your leagues. The fourth-year receiver from North Dakota State […]
