Aaron Rodgers' Injured Toe "Improving" After Bye Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) made an appearance on the Pat McAfee Show Tuesday and said his injured toe is "improving." "There was no mindset change. The biggest key is rest. I wish there were another one of these (bye) weeks so I could get 14-21 great days without doing anything, but the […]

Corey Davis Placed On Injured Reserve

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (groin) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. The 26-year-old's move to the injured reserve was procedural as he was ruled out for the season earlier this week. Davis will undergo season-ending core muscle surgery and look to make a full recovery for 2022. Elijah Moore, Jamison Crowder, Keelan […]

Blake Jarwin Moved Back To Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys activated tight end Blake Jarwin from the reserve/COVID-19 list and moved him back to injured reserve on Tuesday. Jarwin was placed on an injured reserve after suffering a severe hip injury in Week 8. He was moved from the injured reserve to the reserve/COVID-19 list on November 26th and reverted to IR […]

Jamal Adams Will Undergo Season-Ending Shoulder Surgery

Seattle Seahawks star safety Jamal Adams (shoulder) will have season-ending surgery to repair a torn labrum. He sustained the shoulder injury in the Week 13 win over the San Francisco 49ers. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, it was the same shoulder he injured last year, and surgery was necessary. Adams' absence from […]

Fantasy managers have one more week to get their playoff rosters in order and if you're still fighting for a playoff spot, fantasy managers need to absolutely be treating this week's matchup as a win or go home contest. Fantasy managers should be keeping tabs on the standings in their leagues and the possible outcomes […]

Rams Non-Committal On Sony Michel's Role Moving Forward

When asked if he sees running back Sony Michel taking on a lead-back role, regardless of Darrell Henderson's (thigh) health, Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay was non-committal. "I think it's really good to get Sony going. I think he's a rhythm runner, but I think we definitely would want to find ways to […]

Keenan Allen Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is vaccinated, so he still has a chance to play in Week 14 against the New York Giants, according to a source. Allen landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he'll need to be asymptomatic and return two negative tests 24 hours apart in order to be […]

Cowboys Activate Terence Steele From COVID-19 List

The Dallas Cowboys activated offensive tackle Terence Steele from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Steele will be available in Week 14 against the Washington Football Team, but it's uncertain how the playing time will shake out at right tackle between Steele and La'el Collins. Steele was starting at right tackle and doing well, but Collins […]

Kevin Byard Back From COVID-19 List

The Tennessee Titans activated safety Kevin Byard from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. The timing couldn't have been better for Byard and the Titans, as he was placed on the COVID-19 list at the start of the bye week and didn't have to miss any games. Byard has 64 tackles, five interceptions, a sack, 12 […]

Anthony Barr Says He's Playing Thursday

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (hamstring) said he is playing on Thursday night in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers after tweaking his hamstring in Week 12 and sitting out the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions. Injuries have been a huge problem for Barr, who has played in just eight of 23 games […]

Hayden Hurst's Practice Window Opens

The Atlanta Falcons designated tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, opening up the team's 21-day window to activate him. Hurst has a good chance of rejoining the active roster for the Week 14 game against the Carolina Panthers after they released tight end Parker Hesse on Monday. Whenever he […]

Kenny Stills Waived, Kevin White Signed

The New Orleans Saints waived wide receiver Kenny Stills and defensive tackle Malcolm Roach on Tuesday. In a corresponding move, they re-signed wide receiver Kevin White to their practice squad. Stills played just 16% of the offensive snaps in last Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and wasn't able to haul in any of his […]

Ben Roethlisberger Back To Full Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) got in a full practice on Tuesday after being listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report. Roethlisberger has been following this scheduled for most of the season, but the only game he's missed in 2021 was after he tested positive for COVID-19. Big Ben will start […]

Dalvin Cook Puts In A Limited Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) was listed as a DNP on Monday's estimated practice report, but he was able to put in a limited practice on Tuesday. While Cook may ultimately miss his second straight game this Thursday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers after dislocating his left shoulder and tearing his labrum in […]

Chase Claypool A Full Participant Tuesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool (toe) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice after being held out on Monday. This is a great sign for his availability on Thursday night, so fantasy managers will likely be able to roll out the sophomore in a good matchup with the Minnesota Vikings. Claypool had just three […]

Adam Thielen Absent At Tuesday's Practice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) was held out of practice once again on Tuesday, which likely means he will be unavailable for the team's Thursday night game against the Pittsburgh Steelers as he rehabs his high ankle sprain. In his absence, Justin Jefferson will remain the clear No.1 option and should see 10+ […]

Diontae Johnson Playing Like A True No.1 WR

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson looks to be inserting himself into the discussion of elite receivers due to his recent play. Johnson currently sits ninth in the league in receiving yards and is well on his way to a 1,000+ yard season. The 25-year-old has caught at least seven passes in four consecutive games, […]

David Njoku Placed On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku will be placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday, according to a source. It's unclear if Njoku tested positive for the virus or if he's vaccinated, but his status for the Week 14 game against the Baltimore Ravens is now up in the air. If Njoku tested positive for […]

T.J. Watt Is Special

Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro pass-rusher T.J. Watt had 3.5 sacks in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens and leads the NFL with 16. For as much attention as Watt gets as a pure pass-rusher, it goes largely unnoticed that he also plays a big part in stopping the run with his ability to set […]

Ben Roethlisberger's Demise Premature?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has had his share of struggles in what is likely to be his last season in the NFL, but the perception that Big Ben no longer belongs on the field on Sundays is grossly inaccurate, in the opinion of The Athletic's Mark Kaboly. Roethlisberger went 21-for-31 for 236 yards, two […]

Justin Fields' Week 14 Status Up In The Air

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields' (ribs) availability for Week 14 against the division-rival Green Bay Packers has been an "ongoing discussion all week long," according to head coach Matt Nagy. The Bears won't put Fields at risk medically if they don't feel he's ready to return after he fractured some ribs in Week 11. […]

AJ Dillon To Continue Large Role In Offense?

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur referred to Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon as a "1A,1B" tandem when asked about his two studs in the backfield. With Jones still getting back to 100% in his first game back since spraining his MCL, Dillon handled 25 touches against the Los Angeles Rams. In Week 14 […]
