Ravens-Steelers Game Still On For Tuesday

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are still expected to take the field on Tuesday for their Week 12 game. Twice postponed already due to the number of positive COVID-19 tests, the status of the game was very much in doubt. However, with no new positive tests on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the […]

Julio Jones Not Expected To Suit Up, Hayden Hurst Likely To Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Raiders in Week 12. Meanwhile, tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) is on track to suit up for the contest. Jones will test his ailing hamstring out in the pre-game, though it's certainly not looking good after a 'DNP' in Friday's practice. […]

Kendall Hinton Will Likely See QB Work Over Royce Freeman

That's a weird headline, huh? The entire Denver Broncos quarterback unit is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Saints. There was speculation running back Royce Freeman would be the emergency quarterback, but it looks like it will be practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback at Wake […]

Tyler Boyd Should Be Safe From QB Change

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be the only pass-catcher in Cincy to not be too negatively impacted by the team's move to Brandon Allen at quarterback. Last year, Boyd managed to finish with 90 catches for 1,046 yards while playing with Andy Dalton and Ryan Finley at quarterback, so Boyd doesn't need Andy […]

Tee Higgins Could Struggle With Quarterback Change

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins has been playing some solid football, but he should see a downgrade in value as the team moves to Brandon Allen at quarterback with Joe Burrow (knee) out. We expect the Bengals to lean more on their veteran options this week, so even though Higgins has nine or […]

Expect Plenty Of James Robinson Carries In Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson continues to be one of the biggest workhorse backs in the NFL this season. He's seen 17 or more carries in four consecutive games, with at least 3.96 yards per carry and two targets in each of those. Volume alone makes Robinson a matchup-proof RB2 play every week.

Laviska Shenault Jr. Is Risky Week 12 Start

With D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) out, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could slide into the No. 1 receiver role on this team. But with Mike Glennon at quarterback, Shenault's upside is limited. Shenault hasn't played since Week 9, and while he was trending up at one point, that was with Gardner Minshew […]

Mike Glennon Is Not Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon will be starting against Cleveland in Week 12, but he shouldn't be starting in your fantasy football lineup. His top wide receiver, D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) is out, and Glennon hasn't started an NFL game since 2017, when he threw four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games. Glennon might […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is RB2 Option In Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire remains the team's top running back and should be in line for solid work against Tampa Bay in Week 12. It's a fairly tough matchup, but CEH has low-end RB2 value based on his upside. He scored twice last week, potentially suggesting that the rookie rusher is trending […]

Le'Veon Bell Is Middling Play

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell has struggled to make much of an impact since joining the team.Last week's seven carries were his most as a member of the Chiefs. Sure, he scored a touchdown, but Bell's been a low-volume guy since arriving in K.C., and at this point he's just a Clyde Edwards-Helaire […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Tight End Option

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been targeted 10-plus times in three consecutive games. He remains the No. 1 play at the tight end position this week despite a tougher matchup than usual against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With other top tight ends injured, Kelce is worth paying up for in DFS, as […]

Tyreek Hill Is On A Roll

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is playing his best football of the season right now and there's no reason to think that changes in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even if the Bucs have one of the best defenses that K.C. has faced this year. There has been one game this […]

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Have Greatest Week 12 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces a Tampa Bay defense that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this week. It's not the greatest matchup for Mahomes, but that doesn't matter a ton for fantasy managers. He has 348 or more yards in three consecutive appearances. He's a clear QB1 play every […]

Tampa Bay Places Vita Vea On COVID-19/Reserve List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea (COVID-19 list) was transferred to the COVID-19/reserve list Saturday, further cementing his out status for Sunday against Kansas City. (Players do not necessarily have to test positive in order to be placed on the list.) Having been on injured reserve due to a leg fracture, Vea has proven […]

Graham Gano Returns For Week 12’s Contest

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (COVID-19) has been activated ahead of Sunday's game versus Cincinnati, returning to the mix without having missed a game despite a positive virus test. With the Giants having been on their bye last week, Ryan Santoso would have served as the team's contingency plan had Gano not been cleared […]

John Brown Lands On Injured Reserve With Ankle Injury

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown (ankle) had already been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Chargers, but he will now miss at least the next three contests due to a high ankle sprain which has landed him on injured reserve. Brown had been finding his groove within the offense over the past two […]

Chris Carson Set To Be “Full Go” For Monday’s Game

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) has been labeled a "full go" by head coach Pete Carroll for Monday's contest against Philadelphia. Carson has missed each of the team's prior four games due to a foot injury, as his absence coincided with numerous backfield injuries. Now, he'll return to true RB1 duties for Seattle, […]

Los Angeles Activates Austin Ekeler For Sunday’s Game

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) has been activated and is cleared to play in Sunday's contest against Buffalo. Ekeler's return coincides with Kalen Ballage (ankle) earning a questionable designation, which could lead to Ekeler getting additional touches in his first game since Week 4. Having proven to be an integral cog in […]

49ers Will Have To Find New Short-Term Home Facility

The San Francisco 49ers practice and play their home games in Santa Clara County in California, which is problematic in light of the decree that came down Saturday that does not allow college or professional sports teams to practice or play contact sports over the next three weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. […]

Drew Lock, Broncos QBs Absent From Saturday’s Practice

The Denver Broncos could have an extremely unique scenario on their hands for Sunday's game against New Orleans. After quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles -- the three active quarterbacks the team has under contract -- were all sent home from the team […]

Patriots Put Isaiah Wynn On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots will place starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn (knee) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a league source. The Patriots will be without him for at least the next three games as a result. Wynn injured his knee late in the fourth quarter of the Week 11 loss to the Texans. […]

Hunter Henry A Must-Start Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry has an excellent matchup on tap against the Bills in Week 12. Buffalo allows the third-most fantasy points per game and the fourth-most red zone targets per game to opposing tight ends, making this a smash spot for Henry. The veteran tight end has hauled in a touchdown […]

Lions Fire Matt Patricia, Bob Quinn

The Detroit Lions fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn on Saturday. It comes after the Lions lost to the Texans on Thanksgiving on Thursday by a score of 41-25 to fall to 4-7 on the season and in last place in the NFC North. Patricia's three-year tenure with the team didn't […]

Mike Williams A Boom/Bust Starter In Week 12

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will take on the Bills in Week 12. Williams has been one of the league's best deep threats, averaging 16.9 average targeted air yards per game, good for third in the NFL. The veteran wideout has three touchdown catches of 20 yards or more this season. With the […]

Colts Reach Extension With Grover Stewart

The Indianapolis Colts reached an agreement with run-stuffing defensive tackle Grover Stewart on a three-year, $30.75 million contract extension on Saturday, according to multiple league sources with knowledge of the negotiations. The deal includes $20 million guaranteed and up to $1 million in performance bonuses. The 27-year-old was on the final year of his rookie […]

Saints To Be Without Terron Armstead, Andrus Peat

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead and left guard Andrus Peat (concussion) will not play in Week 12 against the Broncos. Armstead tested positive for COVID-19, according to sources. This probably would've had more of an effect on pocket quarterback Drew Brees, but this is bad news regardless for the Saints offensive […]

Keenan Allen A Top-Five Option Against Buffalo

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is red-hot heading into a Week 12 matchup with the Bills. Allen had an astonishing, career-high 16 receptions on 19 targets last week and has been a target hog all year, as he's averaged 11.2 looks per game. The 28-year-old has one of the highest floors in fantasy […]

Tua Tagovailoa Downgraded To Doubtful

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Week 12 against the Jets. It will be veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick getting the start on Sunday. Tagovailoa jammed his thumb against a helmet in practice on Wednesday and has been limited this week. The Dolphins just don't want to take […]

Kalen Ballage A Risky RB2 If He Suits Up

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle, calf) is questionable ahead of a matchup with an underachieving Bills' defense. Ballage appears to have a good chance of playing after logging limited practice sessions all week. He hasn't looked all that impressive as a runner but has a stranglehold on the Chargers' backfield, as he's […]

Justin Herbert A Strong QB1 Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert gets a favorable matchup in Week 12 against the Bills. Buffalo has surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers and has allowed a QB1 finish in each of their last two contests. Herbert, fantasy football's QB7 this year, has thrown for at least 250 yards and […]
