Isaiah Hodgins a Desperation Week 13 Option

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has been a decent fantasy contributor in two starts with the team, though he'll get another difficult matchup this Monday night against the New England Patriots. Hodgins was signed off the Steelers' practice squad a few weeks back, reuniting him with the Giants' organization. For one game, at […]

Tyler Allgeier a Low-Floor Fantasy Option in Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered double-digit carries in Week 12, rushing 12 times for 44 yards, and even received one target, which he caught for five yards.

Devin Singletary a Volatile Flex Play Vs. Patriots

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary is set for another stiff test in Week 13 when his team squares off with the hosting New England Patriots on Monday Night Football.

Theo Johnson Mainly a Deep-League Streamer vs. the Patriots

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson has ridden the fantasy roller coaster so far this season.

Can Tyrone Tracy Jr. Stay Hot in a Difficult Week 13 Matchup vs. Patriots?

Calvin Austin III a Low-End Flex Against Buffalo

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III is looking to make an impact after posting a few duds recently. Austin has been held to 36 receiving yards or fewer in each of his last three games. The 26-year-old has also seen his snap count decrease heavily over the last two contests. There is certainly some […]

Jaxson Dart in QB1 Picture Again in First Game Back

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart will officially make his return to the field after missing each of the last two games due to a concussion.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots.

Keleki Latu Elevated for Week 13

Buffalo Bills tight end Keleki Latu was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Charlie Smyth Elevated to Active Roster, Will Kick in Week 13

New Orleans Saints kicker Charlie Smyth has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Shedeur Sanders Could Start for Browns for the Rest of the Season

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make the second start of his career this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, and if he continues to play well, he could earn more starts for the rest of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Jaret Patterson Elevated to Active Roster Ahead of Week 13

The Los Angeles Chargers have promoted running back Jaret Patterson from the practice squad to their active roster ahead of Week 13's game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Jonnu Smith in a Limited Role, Difficult to Trust vs. the Bills

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has seen limited work in the offense over the last few weeks. Since Week 10, Smith has seen a combined seven targets and two rushing attempts. The 30-year-old has yet to be a consistent fantasy option and has only had two productive weeks this season. Entering Week 13, Smith […]

David Sills V a Speculative WR Option in Deep Leagues

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V made the most of his opportunity last week with Drake London (knee) absent, hauling in two of his three targets for 16 yards and one touchdown. London has been ruled out for Week 13 again, so Sills should get an opportunity to be fantasy relevant for a second […]

Kendrick Bourne has Little Upside for Week 13

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, Bourne hasn't hauled in a pass since Week 10. Honestly, Bourne hasn't been a factor in the offense since his five-catch performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. The 49ers are getting […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant is coming off his best performance of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
