Jason McCourty Out For Patriots Defense

New England Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty (groin) has been ruled out for the second straight game for Week 13 against the Texans on Sunday night. It's a downgrade for New England's defense against a Houston wideout corps featuring DeAndre Hopkins, Will Fuller and Kenny Stills. The Pats defense has been strong all year, but they […]

Jadeveon Clowney, Jarran Reed Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks defenders Jadeveon Clowney (core), Jarran Reed (ankle), and Mychal Kendricks (hamstring) were limited participants in practice on Friday, and there's a real chance that the Seahawks Defense that takes the field on Monday night could be without over 25% of its usual starters. Clowney missed last week's game due to his injury, Reed […]

Phillies Interested In Dellin Betances, Austin Romine

The Philadelphia Phillies are interested in relief pitcher Dellin Betances and catcher Austin Romine, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The Phillies have also been linked to shortstop Didi Gregorius. It makes more sense now that manager Joe Girardi, who coached this trio with the Yankees, is the skipper of the Phillies. […]

Jason Myers Remains Perfect Within 40 Yards On Field Goals

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers was slowed down last week with a small hip injury, but he showed on Sunday that there were no ill effects as he was perfect on field goals for the second straight week. This Monday will be his first time kicking at home again since he had a dreadful performance […]

49ers Defense Faces Its Stiffest Test

In a battle of titans in Week 13, the second-ranked San Francisco 49ers Defense will square off against the Baltimore Ravens, the league’s best offense. The Niners steamrolled the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, allowing just eight points while bagging five sacks and a fumble and need to keep the momentum going against Ravens […]

Blue Jays Could Go After Zack Wheeler

The Toronto Blue Jays top priority this winter is to improve their starting rotation, and starting pitcher Zack Wheeler could be at the top of their wish list. Gerrit Cole and Stephen Strasburg aren't realistic options. The 29-year-old Wheeler went 11-8 with a 3.96 ERA and 195 strikeouts over 195 1/3 innings. The right-hander is […]

Bears Put Adam Shaheen On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed tight end Adam Shaheen (foot) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, ending his season. Shaheen failed to capitalize this year with Trey Burton injured and ineffective for most of the year. The 25-year-old had just nine receptions for 74 yards and no touchdowns in eight games after securing just five catches for […]

Splitting RBs in Seattle? Examining Chris Carson & Rashaad Penny

For the second time this season, Chris Carson’s fantasy owners are concerned about his workload because of fumbling issues. This time, his outlook seems to be more uncertain than it was earlier in the season. Prior to this season, losing the ball was never a major issue for Carson, as he lost fumbles five times […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Must Prioritize Ball Security

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is a middling QB2 in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens and isn't a recommended fantasy play. Jimmy G has played great lately with 11 touchdowns in his last four contests, but he squares off against the Ravens third-best pass defense by DVOA. Baltimore has been stifling opposing quarterbacks […]

Derwin James, Adrian Phillips Activated From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers activated safeties Derwin James (foot) and Adrian Phillips (forearm) from Injured Reserve on Saturday. James, an All-Pro in his rookie season in 2018, practiced all week without any issues and will make his season debut in Week 13 against the Broncos. Head coach Anthony Lynn said he will closely monitor both […]

Marlon Mack Hoping To Return In Week 14

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hand) is hopeful of returning to action in Week 14 against the Buccaneers. Mack has been out since Nov. 17, but he got in some practice this week and has a realistic chance of making it back next weekend to face the Bucs. Jonathan Williams has been the man […]

Raheem Mostert Returns To Change-Of-Pace Duties

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert will likely return to his primary role as a special teams player in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens. With Matt Breida (questionable, ankle) getting a week of limited practices, Mostert’s touches will probably diminish to just a handful of change-of-pace snaps. The fifth-year runner has been impressive […]

Adam Thielen 50-50 For Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis all week but is 50-50 to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks on Monday night. Thielen is much closer to playing this week after the Week 12 bye, but there's still a chance that Minnesota plays it safe if he's not 100 […]

Eagles Promote Josh Perkins To Active Roster

The Philadelphia Eagles promoted tight end Josh Perkins from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. They also activated cornerback Cre'Von LeBlanc from Injured Reserve and waived defensive tackle Albert Huggins. Perkins' promotion could be a sign that tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 13 against the Dolphins, won't […]

Jordan Howard Ruled Out Against Dolphins

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Dolphins. It will be Howard's third straight missed game. In his place, rookie Miles Sanders will continue to lead this backfield ahead of Jay Ajayi. Sanders has had double-digit carries each of the last three games with Howard sidelined, […]

Leighton Vander Esch Not Expected To Play In Week 14

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) is not expected to play in Week 14 next Thursday night against the Bears. Vander Esch has been out since Week 11 and could be a candidate for Injured Reserve if he doesn't improve anytime soon. Sean Lee is a capable fill-in for more playing time with Vander […]

Von Miller 50-50 To Play In Week 13

Denver Broncos outside linebacker Von Miller (knee), who is questionable for Week 13 against the Chargers, is "truly 50-50" to play on Sunday, according to head coach Vic Fangio. The good news is that Miller practiced on Friday in a limited fashion after sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday. Miller last missed a regular season […]

Jacob Hollister Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister was a limited participant in practice on Friday due to a nagging toe injury. Hollister has been one of the most recent surprises on the Seahawks roster as he's been promoted into a starting role and quickly become one of Russell Wilson's favorite targets, but there's a possibility that […]

Josh Gordon May Get More Work On Monday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon has played a minor role so far since joining the team, but he could be in for a more central spot on Monday night against Minnesota. Tyler Lockett is one of a number of Seahawks that have been slowed down by an infection going around the locker room, and […]

QB vs Pass Rush Matchups To Watch - Week 13

Week 13 is here, and some of you are already locked into a playoff spot. Congratulations to you! We have several great matchups coming up this week while others have matchups that make you want to look in the other direction. If you're in your final regular season week, let's make sure that you have […]

Devante Parker Remains Consistent Option

Even on one of the league's worst offenses, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker continues to keep a high floor, most recently converting six of his 11 targets for 91 yards in the 41-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Parker has been Miami's unquestioned No. 1 receiver since Preston Williams was lost for the season […]

D.K. Metcalf Returns To Full Practice

A day after being limited in practice due to a knee issue, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf returned to being a full participant in practice on Friday. Metcalf has had a strong rookie season, putting up 630 yards so far. He's also hauled in five touchdowns, and he's caught at least one pass of […]

Dan Bailey Is A Sneaky Week 13 Play

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey is a solid starting option for Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks have been getting gashed through the air over their last four games, and Kirk Cousins has been among the top passers in the league in that time period. The game has the second-highest expected point total […]

Olabisi Johnson Is The Emergency Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Olabisi Johnson caught six of nine targets for 35 scoreless yards in Week 12 and has filled in admirably as the No. 2 receiver in Adam Thielen's (hamstring) absence. Thielen is truly questionable for Monday night's matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, recently stating that he won't play at anything less than […]

Alexander Mattison Shouldn't Be Started In Week 13

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has made a solid impression in his rookie season, but he can't be trusted as a starting fantasy option with his current role in the offense. Mattison received just three carries and gained five yards in Week 12's close contest against the Broncos. He just doesn't see enough action […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 13

We are in the final stretch before the playoffs, meaning it is time to get your roster in shape for a playoff push and championship run. As fantasy owners, we know that not all touches are equal. A touch in the red zone has an increased chance of scoring a touchdown, so those touches are […]

Vikings Defense In Tough Spot On Monday

The Minnesota Vikings Defense has been a consistently solid unit this season, but they'll face a very difficult task in Week 13 and if you have a chance to stream a defense with a better matchup, do it. The Vikings face MVP-candidate Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks, a team that currently ranks sixth in […]

Joe Mixon Has An Uphill Climb In Week 13

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has turned it around as of late and will look to keep things moving against the Jets on Sunday. The 23-year-old was decent against Pittsburgh in Week 12 and finished by rushing for 79 yards on 18 carries. He scored his first rushing touchdown of the season against Oakland […]

Andy Dalton Ready To Start Against Jets

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton will return to the starting lineup against the Jets on Sunday. While Dalton hasn't entirely played up to his usual standards this season, he cannot take all the blame for his team's lack of movement in the win column. Things will be challenging for the 32-year-old, however, as New York […]

Chris Carson Looking To Bounce Back Against Vikings

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson ended up seeing more bench time than anything last week when the team shifted focus to Rashaad Penny instead. Penny exploded against the Eagles as the team notched their ninth win, and questions now linger about how the running back situation will play out for the rest of the […]
