With Just Two Receptions in Week 12, Can Kyle Pitts Sr. Still be a TE1 Going Forward?

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded two catches for 25 scoreless yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V caught two of his three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints.

Is Calvin Austin III Worth a Look After Encouraging Week 12 Usage?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in four of his five targets for 36 yards in a 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears.

Roman Wilson Still Seeing Inconsistent Utilization

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered an MCL sprain during his team's Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and may now be facing missed time.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Dameon Pierce was signed to the practice squad on Monday. This news comes after Pierce was cut by the Houston Texans last week.

Tua Tagovailoa Should Bounce Back in Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is hopeful for better results after a few lackluster performances before the bye in Week 12. Tagovailoa has been held to 205 passing yards or fewer in three of his last four games. Despite that, Tagovailoa did have a four-touchdown game during that span. The 27-year-old is an intriguing option […]

Ollie Gordon II Could See Larger Role

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II could see a larger role in this rushing attack coming out of the bye week.
