Emmanuel Sanders Excused From Friday's Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was excused from practice on Friday for personal reasons.

J.D. McKissic Spotted At Friday's Practice

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic (concussion) is practicing on Friday. He did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday, so the fact that he is practicing in some capacity again on Friday is a good sign.

Mike Evans - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was one yard shy of recording his third 100-yard receiving game in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons.

Joe Mixon Misses Third Consecutive Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) is absent from practice for the third consecutive day this week.

Tyrod Taylor Practices In Full On Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (left wrist) practiced in full for the second consecutive day on Thursday.

Deep Dive: Why Is Saquon Barkley Struggling?

A major storyline this season was the return of New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley.

I mean, how many players can carry a fringe first-round average draft position […]

Joshua Palmer - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Josh Palmer drew plenty of praise this preseason, but hasn't done much during his first regular season.

Austin Ekeler - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Clyde Edwards-Helaire - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire will look to take advantage of a weak Las Vegas Raiders rush defense in Week 14.
