Week 14 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

For the select people who read the introduction to my articles, I will begin by apologizing.

To you, Carl, I […]

Week 14 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football - Positional Rankings for Linebacker, Defensive Line, Defensive Back

This week could see several prominent IDP names come off of IR, further crowding position groups as we get six teams back from a bye.

Tyrod Taylor Won’t Start In Week 14

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) was designated for return from the injured reserve list on Monday but will not start in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers.

Elandon Roberts Limited In Tuesday’s Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Elandon Roberts (groin) was a limited participant in Tuesday's team practice.

NFL DFS Rankings for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 14 Picks for Cash and GPP Contests

With only two teams on a bye this weekend, we are back to a relatively normal-sized slate of 11 games. Sadly, only three of those games have a total of more than 40.5 points. That means ownership is going to be concentrated in tournaments around the games with higher totals; Broncos/Chargers, Seahawks/49ers, and especially Chiefs/Bills. […]

James Robinson Let Go By Packers

The Green Bay Packers released running back James Robinson from their practice squad on Tuesday. Robinson has been shuffled back and forth by the team a few times throughout the season.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Fantasy managers have had a few false starts with Brevin Jordan in his still-young career, but they shouldn't hold that against the 23-year-old down the stretch. Jordan could potentially be a viable fantasy contributor in the coming weeks, as Houston's incumbent starter […]

Packers Add Running Back Kenyan Drake

The Green Bay Packers signed free-agent veteran running back Kenyan Drake to their practice squad on Tuesday and cut running back James Robinson from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Tank Dell Placed On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans officially placed rookie wide receiver Tank Dell (leg) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

There's no telling how much more […]

Ezekiel Elliott Should Be Good To Go For Thursday

After being listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) was removed from Tuesday's report. It should mean that Elliott won't be in danger of missing the Thursday night clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers to kick off Week 14 action. Meanwhile, fellow backfield mate Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) […]

Demario Douglas Remains Out Tuesday
