Jets D/ST Faces Tough Test Against Miami

The New York Jets recorded one sack, a forced fumble, and an interception while surrendering 32 points in a loss to the Buffalo Bills last week. Unfortunately, New York will face an even more difficult challenge on Friday against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. Miami's explosive offense leads the NFL in points and yards per contest. […]

Greg Zuerlein Should Be Avoided Against Dolphins

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein did not attempt a single field goal or extra point in a blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills last week. The 35-year-old will look to be more involved in a Week 12 bout with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are surrendering plenty of points to opposing offenses, but New […]

George Pickens Upgrades To Limited Participation Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (shin) upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday afternoon. He had been absent from practice the day prior. The second-year receiver tallied 37 catches, 604 yards, and three touchdowns through 10 games this season, struggling to form a firm rapport with Kenny Pickett on a steady basis. Pickens ranks […]

Tyler Conklin Can't Be Trusted Despite Solid Matchup

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin has seen inconsistent utilization through the first 11 weeks of the season and will hope to be involved in a Week 12 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Last week, Conklin posted fewer targets, receptions, and yards than second-year pro Jeremy Ruckert. It's unclear if the Jets intend to […]

Julio Jones Upgrades To Full Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) logged a full practice on Thursday. This was good progress after he was limited a day prior. The 34-year-old logged two catches for five yards on a 57 percent snap share last week, but his reduced role in the offense keeps him off the fantasy radar.

Derek Carr Clears Concussion Protocol, Should Play In Week 12

New Orleans Saints running back Derek Carr (concussion) cleared concussion protocol and was removed from the injury report on Thursday. He will play in Week 12 versus the Atlanta Falcons, barring an unforeseen setback. The veteran has totaled 2,231 passing yards, 10 touchdowns, and four interceptions through 10 games this season. He ranks as a […]

Andrew Thomas Practices In Full On Thursday

New York Giants offensive tackle Andrew Thomas (knee) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. He had been limited the day prior. This is great news for the Giants' offense, specifically Tommy Devito and Saquon Barkley, as they face a creative Bill Belichick-led defense. With that said, it's hard to trust any Giants […]

Darius Slayton, Sterling Shepard Practice On Thursday

New York Giants wide receivers Darius Slayton (neck) and Sterling Shepard (back) both practiced on Thursday. Slayton practiced in a limited capacity while Shepard was a full participant. Slayton caught four passes for 82 yards and one touchdown last week, putting him on the fantasy radar as a WR4. Shepard, on the other hand, lacks […]

Maxx Crosby Remains Sidelined Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. At this rate, it looks unlikely that he'll play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12, though he still has a chance to avoid being ruled out if he can log a limited or full practice on Friday. The […]

Tucker Kraft Scored First Career Touchdown On Thanksgiving

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft caught both of his targets for 15 yards and a touchdown during the team's 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions. With Luke Musgrave (abdomen) out, Kraft took over as the top tight end for Green Bay and found the end zone for the first time in his career. […]

Romeo Doubs Held In Check In Week 12

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs caught three of four targets for 37 yards during the team's 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions. The second-year receiver was held to less than 40 yards for the fifth time over the past six weeks and failed to find the end zone, breaking his scoring streak of […]

Derrick Henry, DeAndre Hopkins Return To Full Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (ankle) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (rest) practiced in a full capacity on Thursday. Both players had been listed as limited the day prior, so Thursday's update represents a step in the right direction. At this point, Henry and Hopkins will both play versus the Carolina Panthers in Week […]

Jayden Reed Scores For Third Week In A Row

Green Bay Packer wide receiver Jayden Reed caught four of eight targets for 34 yards and a touchdown, adding two carries for 16 yards during the team's 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions. It is the third week in a row the rookie has found the end zone, and he even led the team in […]

Geno Smith Officially Suiting Up Versus 49ers

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (right elbow) is officially active for Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Wednesday. Smith ranks as a fantasy QB2 ahead of this difficult but potentially high-scoring matchup.

Christian Watson Gets Back On Track Against Detroit

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson caught five of seven targets for 94 yards and a touchdown during the team's 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions. After struggling for weeks, the second-year receiver finally got back on track against the struggling Detroit pass defense and found the end zone for the second week in […]

Kenneth Walker III Officially Inactive Versus 49ers

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (oblique) is officially inactive for Week 12 versus the San Francisco 49ers. This is hardly a surprise considering he had been listed as doubtful. Seattle will enter this divisional battle with rookie Zach Charbonnet atop its depth chart, followed by DeeJay Dallas and Kenny McIntosh. Charbonnet is the […]

AJ Dillon Tallies 81 Yards As Lead Back In Win Over Detroit

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon took 14 carries for 43 yards and caught all three of his targets for a gain of 38 yards during the team's 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions. With Aaron Jones (knee) out, Dillon was given the bulk of the carries in Week 12 and did a decent […]

Jordan Love Explodes For Three Touchdowns On Thanksgiving

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love completed 22 of 32 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns, adding three carries for 39 yards, during the team's 29-22 win over the Detroit Lions. The 25-year-old played a near-perfect game in the upset win over the Packers division rival, making clean throws and big gains throughout the […]

Breece Hall An RB2 In Week 12

New York Jets running back Breece Hall is currently the fantasy RB12 on the season and will hope to find success in a divisional contest against the Miami Dolphins on Friday. Miami has been relatively stout against opposing running backs, surrendering the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. The Jets' offense had been […]

Noah Brown Absent Thursday, Robert Woods Practices In Full

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (knee) missed a second consecutive practice on Thursday. On a positive note, fellow receiver Robert Woods (rest) returned to log a full practice. It's looking more likely that Woods will sit out another game in Week 12, leaving Woods, Nico Collins, Tank Dell, and Dalton Schultz on track to […]

Christian Kirk – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk had an excellent first year with the team in 2022. However, many expected his production to take a hit with the arrival of Calvin Ridley. While he hasn’t been a plug-and-play WR1 like last season, Kirk has been […]

Tim Boyle Set For First Start Of Season Against Dolphins

New York Jets quarterback Tim Boyle will make his first start of the 2023-2024 campaign in a Week 12 divisional showdown with the Miami Dolphins. Boyle replaced Zach Wilson in the second half of last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills and completed seven of 14 pass attempts for 33 yards and an interception. The […]

Jaylen Warren – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren was a popular sophomore-year breakout candidate during the offseason. Last year, he flashed potential as an undrafted free agent. The young running back was a part-time player behind Najee Harris. Yet, fantasy players had high hopes for him […]

James Cook – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Buffalo Bills running back James Cook was a popular sophomore-year breakout candidate during the offseason. The Bills let Devin Singletary leave in free agency, giving the second-year running back no competition for the starting role. Furthermore, there were several positive reports about the young […]

Jerome Ford – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford had a quiet rookie season. However, the Browns had high hopes for the second-year running back. They didn’t re-sign Kareem Hunt in the offseason and named Ford their No. 2 running back behind Nick Chubb. While his fantasy […]

Alexander Mattison – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 12

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison had high expectations entering the season. After several years with the team, the Vikings released Dalvin Cook in the offseason, making Mattison the new starter. The former Boise State star had played well as the starter in the […]

Samaje Perine Logs Full Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (back) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday. This was a step in the right direction for the veteran after he was limited Wednesday. Denver's crowded backfield also features Javonte Williams and Jaleel McLaughlin, making it tough to trust Perine in fantasy leagues. With that said, he […]

David Njoku Limited In Practice Thursday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (rest, knee) upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Thursday. He has emerged as a solid weapon in the Cleveland offense, commanding a whopping 15 targets last Sunday. Over the last five weeks, he's averaging 5.2 catches, 54.2 yards, and 0.4 touchdowns per game. It's clear that he […]

Zay Flowers Misses Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hip) did not practice on Thursday. This is bad news for the team and their rookie receiver after he logged a limited practice on Wednesday. He will presumably need to practice in some capacity on Friday in order to avoid being ruled out for Week 12 versus the Los […]

Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay Practice In Full Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Rashod Bateman (foot) and Devin Duvernay (knee) upgraded to full participants in practice on Thursday. They had been limited on Wednesday. At this point, it's safe to say that both pass-catchers will play in Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Chargers, barring a setback. With that said, neither player has occupied […]
