Darren Waller In A Favorable Week 14 Matchup

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller broke out of a five-game drought in Week 13, recording his first 100-game since Week 7. He'll have a good opportunity to repeat his seven-catch performance from last week versus a Titans Defense that has allowed the seventh-most points to the TE position this season. They were burned by […]

Tyrell Williams A WR4 Versus Titans

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams is coming off his worst game of the season (1/9/0), and his Week 14 matchup doesn't appear that encouraging either. The Titans have allowed the sixth-most passing yards in the league (260.1 YPG), but have kept opposing WRs out of the end zone in five of their last seven […]

Derek Carr Not A Viable Week 14 Option

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is coming off back-to-back underwhelming performances as the Tennessee Titans come to town for a pivotal matchup this weekend. With both teams in the hunt for a Wild Card spot, the Raiders will need Carr to improve on his recent play with Josh Jacobs questionable for this Sunday. The Titans […]

Gerrit Cole The Priority For Yankees

The New York Yankees are making signing starting pitcher Gerrit Cole their top offseason priority and have ownership-level approval to offer him a record-setting deal, according to sources familiar with the team's plans. The 29-year-old right-hander, who led baseball in strikeouts in 2019, is set to smash David Price's record contract for a pitcher of […]

Michael Pineda Returning To The Twins

The Minnesota Twins agreed to re-sign starting pitcher Michael Pineda to a two-year, $20 million deal on Thursday, according to a baseball source. Pineda will miss the first month-plus of the 2020 season while finishing off a suspension, but the big right-hander has plenty of upside, especially while staying in pitcher-friendly Minnesota. The 30-year-old Dominican […]

Gerald Everett Absent Thursday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Everett is on his way to missing his second straight game unless he can return to practice on Friday. If you've been using Everett at the tight end spot, you need to look elsewhere in the first week […]

Saints Defense A Low-End Option In Week 14

The New Orleans Saints Defense will face off with Jimmy Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. The Saints are coming off an excellent Thanksgiving night performance where they recorded nine sacks, two interceptions and a forced fumble. New Orleans may have trouble repeating this effort against the 49ers, considering they've allowed the […]

Jacob Evans Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors shooting guard Jacob Evans will remain sidelined Friday versus the Chicago Bulls due to a left adductor strain that has kept him out since Oct. 28. His status was upped to questionable earlier Thursday, but the Warriors will remain cautious with the second-year guard, with his next chance to return coming Monday […]

JaMychal Green Questionable To Return To Action Friday

Los Angeles Clippers power forward JaMychal Green has picked up a questionable designation for Friday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a tailbone contusion. Green missed his first game of the season Tuesday due to the ailment, paving the way for Patrick Patterson to see additional run after a successful stint versus the Blazers. […]

Marvin Bagley Cleared For Activities, Return On Horizon

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Marvin Bagley got the good news Thursday that the team would officially clear him for full-contact basketball activities, paving the way for his return to action in the near future. The team will officially list him as day-to-day for the time being, with his first chance to suit up coming Friday […]

Justise Winslow Picks Up Questionable Designation For Friday

Miami Heat point guard/small forward Justise Winslow has popped up on the team’s injury report ahead of Friday’s game versus the Washington Wizards due to a lower back strain. Winslow has averaged 31.2 minutes in the five games that he has suited up since his return from a nine-contest absence. With Goran Dragic likely sidelined […]

Tony Pollard Inactive For Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Bears. Pollard missed two days of practice this week, so he was on the wrong side of questionable to begin with. Ezekiel Elliott has been the bell-cow back all season, so Pollard, 22, has just 58 carries for […]

Luke Kennard On Track To Return To Floor For Friday’s Game

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Luke Kennard was not listed on the team’s most recent injury report ahead of Friday’s contest versus the Indiana Pacers. Kennard’s first absence of the season came Wednesday due to knee soreness, but he appears to be track to take the floor, which would likely push Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk back to the […]

Andrew Wiggins Tagged As Questionable For Friday’s Game

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward Andrew Wiggins has his status for Friday’s contest versus the Oklahoma City Thunder up in the air due to a sprained left thumb. Wiggins has scuffled over his past two games from the field, shooting a combined 13-for-41 overall. Should he be held out, expect some combination of Josh Okogie […]

Nationals Can't Afford Both Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon

Washington Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner said that the team can't afford to re-sign both starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg and third baseman Anthony Rendon this offseason. "They’re huge numbers. We already have a really large payroll to begin with," Lerner said. Washington could still bring both players back, but it's highly unlikely. Strasburg, who was […]

Kenrich Williams Given Green Light To Play Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans power forward Kenrich Williams will take the floor for Thursday’s game against the Phoenix Suns after having previously been listed as questionable due to a sprained left ankle. Williams has missed each of the team’s past two contests, but now figures to see somewhere in the ballpark of his usual minutes allotment. […]

Marlon Mack Practicing In Full

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hand) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Mack has been sidelined since Nov. 17, but he's well on his way to returning to action in Week 14 against the Buccaneers. In a tough matchup against Tampa's defensive front and possibly at risk of sharing touches with Jonathan Williams, […]

Vikings Expect Dalvin Cook To Be Close To 100 Percent

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that he expects running back Dalvin Cook (chest) to play in Week 14 against the Lions and be close to 100 percent. Cook left the Monday night game against the Seahawks and didn't return, but he said shortly after that he planned on playing this Sunday, and he's […]

Julio Jones, Austin Hooper Practicing Again Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) and tight end Austin Hooper (knee) are both practicing again on Thursday, which is a good sign for their availability in Week 14 against the Panthers. Jones missed the Thanksgiving game and Hooper has missed the last three contests, so getting them both back would be excellent news […]

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing Thursday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) wasn't seen at the start of practice on Thursday. Jacobs revealed on Tuesday that he's been playing through a fractured shoulder since Week 7, so back-to-back missed practices are now more concerning for anyone that owns Jacobs. Despite his injured shoulder, Jacobs has remained productive in his […]

Isaiah Thomas To Miss Thursday’s Game

Washington Wizards point guard Isaiah Thomas has been ruled out for Thursday’s contest versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to a strained left calf. Without him in the mix, Ish Smith figures to handle many of the point guard duties, although Bradley Beal should see his already exorbitant offensive role expanded even further. Thomas has started […]

Golden Tate Practicing In Full

Updating a previous report, New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) is practicing in full on Thursday. Tate looks ready to return in Week 14 against the Eagles on Monday night after sitting out last week. With tight end Evan Engram (foot) also on track to make his return, Tate will be more of […]

Vikings Not Ruling Adam Thielen Out For Week 14

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that the team isn't ruling out wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) for Week 14 against the Lions. "He’s frustrated. I think he’s got a good opportunity this week (to play), so we’ll see. He’s working really hard. He obviously wants to get out there with his guys. He’s […]

Damien Williams Remains Sidelined

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) remained out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Unless Williams gets in at least a limited practice on Friday, he's headed for his second straight missed game after getting injured in Week 11. With Darrel Williams (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, we could be looking […]

James Conner Ruled Out For Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 14 against the Cardinals despite getting in some limited practice this week. It will be his third straight missed game, and fantasy owners shouldn't be holding out much hope that he can help you the rest of the way if you've made […]

Greg Olsen Out Of Practice Thursday

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (concussion) is out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. All signs are pointing towards Olsen sitting Week 14 out against the Falcons after suffering a serious head injury in Week 13. If you've been relying on Olsen in your tight end spot, it's time […]

Jordan Howard Not Cleared For Contact Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is still not cleared for contact on Thursday. It's looking like Howard is in line to miss his fourth straight game unless he can get in a full practice on Friday or Saturday. Rookie Miles Sanders had a season-high 22 touches in the Week 13 loss to the […]

Derrick Favors To Miss 10th Straight Contest Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans power forward/center Derrick Favors has ultimately been ruled out for Thursday’s contest against the Phoenix Suns after having earned a questionable tag earlier in the day due to personal reasons. Head coach Alvin Gentry confirmed that the team expected Favors back “within the next few days,” which leaves his availability for Saturday’s […]

Jared Cook A Low-End TE1 Against 49ers

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook gets a tough Week 14 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 32-year-old is on a roll, having surpassed 70 receiving yards in three of his last four games. Now he'll get to face the 49ers' league-best pass defense. It will be a very tough matchup for Cook, […]

Wil Lutz A Must-Start Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 14. Lutz is on fire, having made at least two field goals in four straight games and at least two extra points in three of the last four. San Francisco is a stingy defense that doesn't allow many trips to the […]
