Deebo Samuel Expected To Play

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) is questionable for Week 12, but he's expected to play. The Green Bay Packers aren't a great matchup, but Samuel has been productive the last five weeks in point-per-reception leagues. He has 23 grabs for 305 yards and no touchdowns, which ranks him 22nd in fantasy points […]

George Kittle Expects To Play

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) is questionable for Week 12, but he expects to play against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers have been the worst team at defending the tight end position the last five weeks, and Kittle would be a strong start if he's able to go. Tight end Ross […]

Phillip Dorsett Likely To Miss Week 12

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) hasn't been cleared for contact, as of Saturday, which means he's unlikely to play in Week 12. Receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) is also likely to miss the game, and rookie receivers N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers will be asked to play heavier roles. The Dallas Cowboys are […]

Phillip Dorsett Still Has Not Cleared Protocol

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) still has not cleared concussion protocol one day before the team takes on the Cowboys in Week 12. Dorsett was listed as questionable on Friday's injury report but the fact that he hasn't been cleared makes it hard to envision him suiting up on Sunday. The Patriots […]

Mohamed Sanu Likely Out

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) is expected to miss Week 12 with an ankle injury. Receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) is also likely to miss the game against the Dallas Cowboys. That means rookies N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers will be the third and fourth options behind receiver Julian Edelman and running back […]

Cubs Acquire Jharel Cotton

The Chicago Cubs have acquired starting pitcher Jharel Cotton from the Oakland Athletics for cash considerations. Cotton is a former top prospect for the Athletics, but has struggled with injuries up to this point in his career. Cotton last pitched in the Majors in 2017. The righty returned to pitch in 2019 after recovering from […]

Jamal Murray Scores 22 Points In Victory

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray took over down the stretch in Friday's 96-92 win over the Celtics, totalling a team-high 22 points, six rebounds, five assists, and two steals on 9-for-18 shooting from the field and 2-for-6 from three-point range. Murray bounced back after a below average performance for his standards in a victory over […]

Nikola Jokic Posts Triple-Double In Victory

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic posted his third triple-double of the season in Friday's 96-92 win over the Celtics, finishing with 18 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. The 24-year-old went 7-for-17 from the field and 4-for-4 from the free throw line, but failed to make a three-pointer for the first time since October 31 […]

Will Barton Finishes With 15 Points In Victory

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton scored 15 points on 6-for-12 shooting from the field and 3-for-7 from deep, going along with five assists and one rebound in Friday's 96-92 win over the Celtics. The 28-year-old was a factor early on, getting involved as a scorer and finding teammates for open looks in the first quarter. […]

Paul Millsap Records Double-Double In Victory

Denver Nuggets forward Paul Millsap finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks on 6-for-11 shooting from the field in Friday's 96-92 win over the Celtics. The 34-year-old took advantage of the opposition down low, scoring a majority of his points in the paint while making the only three-point field goal he […]

Jaylen Brown Scores Team-High 22 Points In Loss

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown scored a team-high 22 points in Friday's 96-92 loss to the Nuggets. The 23-year-old went 6-for-15 from the field, 4-for-7 from three-point range and 6-for-8 from the free throw line — along with 10 rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes of action. Through 12 games this season, Brown is […]

Dede Westbrook Is Low Upside Option Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook has struggled to get much going in 2019. In between injury and the emergence of D.J. Chark, Westbrook hasn't been able to put up sustained strong numbers this season, and in his return to the field in Week 11 he caught four passes for just 32 yards. His current […]

Chris Conley Is Risk/Reward Option In Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Chris Conley has seen an uptick in usage lately, receiving seven or eight targets in four straight games. But those targets have come with varying degrees of success, from 103 yards and a score against the Jets to just 32 yards against Houston. There are definitely reasons to start a guy […]

D.J. Chark's Upside Makes Him A Strong Start

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark has surpassed the rest of his team's wide receivers in the pecking order, and the return of quarterback Nick Foles didn't change that last week. Chark was targeted 15 times, catching eight passes for 104 yards and a pair of touchdowns. The matchup and the potential game flow aren't […]

Leonard Fournette Is Solid Week 12 Option

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette had 66 rushing yards on 15 carries and 26 receiving yards on six catches in Week 3 when the Jaguars faced the Titans. In the rematch, Fournette projects to be a solid fantasy option, even if his recent struggles -- 63 combined rushing yards in his last two games […]

Nick Foles Is Just A QB2 Against Titans

In his first game since Week 1, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Nick Foles had 47 pass attempts, finishing with 296 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He's unlikely to throw as much in Week 12 against the Titans in what's likely to be a low scoring game, so consider Foles to be a solid QB2 option. […]

Eric Reid A Good Play

Carolina Panthers safety Eric Reid has had a great season. He's 10th among defensive backs in fantasy points the last five weeks with 35 tackles (26 solo), two sacks and a forced fumble. He figures to be busy against the New Orleans Saints, and he makes for a solid DB1 play in individual defensive player […]

Luke Kuechly A Flex Option

Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly has really failed to make an impact in fantasy, and all of the injuries may be catching up to him. He's tied for 35th among linebackers in fantasy points the last five weeks with just 28 tackles (17 solo), two passes defended and an interception. The New Orleans Saints aren't […]

Greg Olsen Not A Tantalizing Play

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen had a promising start to the season, but the injury to quarterback Cam Newton (foot) really took the wind from his sails. Olsen is the 17th-ranked tight end in point-per-reception leagues the last five weeks. The New Orleans Saints provide a midrange matchup, but Olsen doesn't have the upside […]

Curtis Samuel In Flex Consideration

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel has been a hit-or-miss option in fantasy with 15 catches for 170 yards and two scores the last four games. He has a knack for the big play, but the New Orleans Saints have been able to contain those of late. The Saints allowed just three touchdowns to receivers […]

DJ Moore Quietly Does His Thing

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore has quietly posted the 17th-most fantasy points in point-per-reception leagues this season. He has done so with only one touchdown on the season. The New Orleans Saints will give up receptions to receivers, but they've allowed just three touchdowns to them the last five weeks. It's a midrange matchup, […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Tough Draw

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey has been a fantasy MVP frontrunner through the first 11 weeks. He has 40 more fantasy points than the next back or receiver in point-per-reception leagues and trails only Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson for the most points in fantasy. He has a tough week ahead of him as […]

Kyle Allen Not An Option

Carolina Panthers quarterback Kyle Allen has really struggled over the last four games. He's 27th in the league in fantasy points during the stretch and has thrown three touchdowns to nine interceptions. Things don't get any easier against the New Orleans Saints this week. They've allowed 241.5 passing yards and 1.5 touchdowns to quarterbacks per […]

Warning Signs Playoff Primer - Quarterbacks

The fantasy trade deadline has passed, all teams should be solidified ready for the playoffs.
