Bears Place Justin Fields On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed rookie quarterback Justin Fields on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Fields tested positive for the virus but is vaccinated, so there's a chance he could clear the league's COVID protocols and play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. However, with his positive test coming […]

Is Cam Akers Playing This Week? Is Darrell Henderson Jr. Out For The Year?

As we head into Week 18, most leagues have reached their championship. That said, there are several leagues that have late championships or daily fantasy leagues. That means injury news is still extremely important as we approach the conclusion of the regular season. A good example of this is the Los Angeles Rams running back […]

Eagles Non-Committal On Whether Jalen Hurts Will Play

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has said that he still hasn't decided if he will play his starters on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys, including quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Eagles have clinched a playoff spot and are currently the seventh seed but could only move to the sixth seed with a win and some […]

Patrick Mahomes - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown 10 touchdowns and one interception over his last four games. He has a plus matchup against the Denver Broncos on Saturday, who are 20th in pass DVOA. The 26-year-old didn't play well in his last appearance against Denver, throwing for 184 yards and a pick in his […]

Giovani Bernard Back At Practice And Hoping To Return Sunday

Tampa Bay Bucs running back Giovani Bernard (knee) was working with training staff at practice on Thursday but head coach Bruce Arians said the team was hopeful they might get him back as soon as Sunday. With Leonard Fournette on the IR and Ronald Jones (ankle) not practicing, Bernard could return to a situation where […]

Diontae Johnson Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Even with the NFL's updated policies, it will be hard for Johnson to get cleared ahead of Sunday's game against the Ravens, but it is possible if Johnson is vaccinated and has two negative tests before the game. If Johnson does […]

Dak Prescott - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has a plus matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18. Philadelphia ranks 21st in pass DVOA. The 28-year-old has played well recently, throwing for 556 yards and seven touchdowns over his last two games. He's a top candidate for Comeback Player of the Year and will look to continue […]

Dalton Schultz - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz has a plus matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18. Philadelphia ranks 26th in DVOA against tight ends this season. He has caught 22 passes for 203 yards and two touchdowns over his last three games. Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) is out for the season after […]

Darrel Williams - Week 18 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams faces the Denver Broncos in Week 18. He was impressive in the Week 17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing 14 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 19 yards. Denver ranks 22nd in rush DVOA, and Williams is expected […]

Week 18 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

In our IDP Waivers column earlier this week, we offered you a bare-bones account of which NFL teams worried us going into the NFL's Seventh Day (aka the week of rest). In that bare-bones account, we promised to offer you more details and insight into which teams may cost you valuable fantasy snaps on defense. […]

Saturday NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Week 18

It's hard to accept that we are down to the final weekend of the NFL season. The good thing is we get a little more Saturday football. There are two games this Saturday -- two interesting games. The Chiefs head into Denver for an AFC West battle while the Cowboys head into Philadelphia for an […]

Baker Mayfield To Have Surgery Jan. 19

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) will have surgery to fix the torn labrum in his left shoulder on Jan. 19 in Los Angeles, according to a source. With Mayfield shutting it down with one game remaining in the regular season and electing to undergo surgery as soon as possible, he will have plenty of […]

Robby Anderson Listed As DNP Wednesday

Carolina Panthers wide receivers Robby Anderson (quadriceps) and Shi Smith (illness) were not able to practice on Wednesday. Anderson came just short of playing every single offensive snap in the Week 17 loss to the New Orleans Saints, so it's likely that his quad injury isn't too serious. As long as he's back on the […]

Chase Edmonds Dealing With Multiple Injuries

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ribs, toe) missed practice on Wednesday. This is certainly something to watch, as Edmonds has carried the ball 34 times for 109 yards (3.21 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding 13 receptions on 15 targets for an additional 100 yards through the air with James Conner (heel) […]

Nelson Agholor Could Return This Week

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) managed a limited practice on Wednesday after sitting out the last two games with a concussion. Agholor appears to be progressing through the league's concussion protocol, though, and he could have a chance at playing in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. However, […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was held out of practice on Wednesday. It's unclear if this is just the 49ers resting Mitchell ahead of a must-win game in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams or if he suffered a setback in the Week 17 win over the Houston Texans. We'll […]

Emmanuel Sanders Misses Practice On Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) missed the team's practice on Wednesday. Sanders was unable to play in the Week 17 win over the Atlanta Falcons and might be held out again in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New York Jets so that he can be ready to go […]

Antonio Brown To Have Ankle Surgery

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) said in a statement that an MRI last week "shows broken bone fragments" and a "ligament torn from the bone." He plans to have surgery on his ankle and claims that head coach Bruce Arians essentially cut him in Week 17 against the New York Jets when […]

Michael Carter Unable To Return To Practice

New York Jets rookie running back Michael Carter (concussion) was unable to return to practice on Wednesday after suffering a concussion in the Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the missed practice, the Jets are optimistic that he can clear the league's concussion protocol and play in the Week 18 regular season […]

No Practice For Braxton Berrios On Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's practice report. The Jets don't appear to be very worried that Berrios' injury will keep him from playing in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Buffalo Bills, so we'd expect Berrios to return to practice in the coming […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Mark Ingram II Limited Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and running back Mark Ingram II (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday after sitting out the Week 17 win over the Carolina Panthers. It looks as though the Saints could be getting both players back in a Week 18 must-win regular season finale against the […]

Julio Jones Limited In Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Jones sat out in Week 17 due to COVID-19, but he should be back on the field in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Houston Texans as the Titans look to lock up the No. 1 seed […]

Lamar Jackson Not On The Practice Field Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed yet another practice on Wednesday. The Ravens refuse to rule Jackson out for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday, but the writing seems to on the wall for the 24-year-old to miss yet another game as the Ravens look to keep their […]

James O'Shaughnessy Still Not Practicing

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) missed another practice on Wednesday after sitting out of the Week 17 blowout loss to the New England Patriots. It's not a good start for O'Shaughnessy this week, and he'll need to get back on the field in the next two days in order to have a shot […]

Kadarius Toney Puts In Limited Practice Wednesday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) was able to practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion. Darius Slayton, who is returning from the COVID-19 list, was also limited as he ramps his activity back up. Toney, a 22-year-old first-round pick, missed last week's game after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 16, […]

Ricky Seals-Jones, Curtis Samuel Out Wednesday

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (concussion) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) both missed practice on Wednesday. Seals-Jones was stretchered off the field last Sunday after a scary incident on the sidelined when he collided with a cameraman. With just one game left in the season, it's highly unlikely that Seals-Jones plays in […]

Kareem Hunt Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) put in a limited practice to start the week on Wednesday. Hunt has been out since Week 14, so it remains to be seen how much of a role he'll have in Cleveland's backfield in the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The […]

C.J. Uzomah Misses First Practice Of The Week

Cincinnati Bengals tight end C.J. Uzomah (hip, knee) missed the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Uzomah did play over 90% of the offensive snaps in the Week 17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, so his injury probably isn't all that serious. However, with the Bengals potentially resting most of their starters […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Misses Another Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) missed his second straight practice of the week on Wednesday. Edwards-Helaire has yet to practice or play since suffering his shoulder injury in Week 16, so he's trending toward missing a second straight game in the Week 18 regular season finale this Saturday against the Denver Broncos. […]
