Vikings, Sam Darnold Have Not Discussed Long-Term Deal

The Minnesota Vikings have not engaged in long-term extension talks with quarterback Sam Darnold, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Darnold was brought in last offseason as a bridge quarterback, but he has been a pleasant surprise, completing 67.6 percent of his passes for 2,952 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions while leading the Vikings to […]

Linus Ullmark Stands Tall In Saturday's Victory

Ottawa Senators goaltender Linus Ullmark stopped 37 of the 38 shots he faced en route to defeating the Nashville Predators on Saturday evening. The Predators had the advantage in the shot total, but Ullmark kept the Senators in the game. His lone mistake came late in the final period off a wrist shot by Fedor […]

Giants Not Planning To Shut Down Malik Nabers

The New York Giants have no plans to shut down wide receiver Malik Nabers (groin) despite being limited from playoff contention, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Nabers has been one of the best rookies in the NFL this season, ranking as the overall WR12 in fantasy football with his 75 catches, 740 yards, and three […]

David Moore Too Risky To Play In Week 14

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore should be thought of as a desperation WR5 when the Panthers take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14. The veteran receiver has commanded 19 targets during the past two weeks as second-year quarterback Bryce Young has shown dramatic improvement, but this week's matchup is best avoided. The Eagles […]

Mike Gesicki A TE2 Option In Week 14

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki should be considered a TE2 option in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran tight end's usage has been unpredictable, drawing five catches while playing fewer than half of Cincinnati's snaps last week, yet managing four total catches in the two prior weeks despite more playing time in […]

Ladd McConkey A True Game-Time Decision

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey (shoulder, knee) is considered a true game-time decision to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. This development puts fantasy managers in a bind: McConkey is an effective WR2 option if he plays, but as the Sunday Night Football game, managers […]

Alexander Mattison Unlikely To Play Vs. Bucs

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is a "long-shot" to play on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Running back Zamir White (quad) has already been ruled out, leaving Sincere McCormick and veteran journeyman Ameer Abdullah as the top options. Mattison has only 320 yards this season, […]

Raheem Mostert Expected To Miss Week 14

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) is not expected to suit up Sunday when his team takes on the New York Jets, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Keon Coleman A Game-Time Decision In Week 14

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) is a game-time decision to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie from Florida State has not played since Week 9 and is listed as questionable this week. Buffalo has still vaulted to 10-2 despite missing Coleman and tight […]

Dalton Kincaid Not Expected To Play

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), who is listed as questionable to play the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14, is not expected to suit up, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The second-year tight end has not played since Week 10, but the Bills are now up to seven consecutive wins. Wide receiver […]

2024 College Football Playoff Picture, Projections, Outlook: Selection Sunday

Here we sit on the morning of the selection of the largest playoff field college football has ever seen. It feels just like I thought it would: gross. Conference Championship Week was more exciting than usual, even in games that featured teams that were already in. That's good. There was not an armageddon scenario for […]

Is George Pickens Injured Or Playing in Week 14 (2024)? Should I Pickup and Start Calvin Austin III?

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) is certainly at least two things -- he's a very good NFL receiver and a huge diva. He's one of the few players in the league that consistently lets his attitude issues get in the way of production. Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin should be given a medal […]

NFL DFS Lineup Picks For FanDuel, DraftKings - Chargers vs. Chiefs SNF Showdown (Week 14)

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have an AFC West showdown tonight as Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers (8-4) head to Kansas City to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (11-1).

Kenneth Walker III Might Be Back In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle, calf) has already been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Arizona Cardinals. However, the 24-year-old may not be out long, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting there's a chance he'll be back on the field for the Week 15 encounter against the Green Bay Packers. In the […]

Jets "Have No Plans" To Shut Down Breece Hall

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the New York Jets don't plan on shutting down running back Breece Hall (knee). The Jets technically still have a chance of making the playoffs. However, that isn't expected to happen. As a result, it's possible the team could have a change of heart, especially once New York receives the […]

Malik Nabers "Will Try To Play" Versus The Saints

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) "will try to play" on Sunday against the Saints. However, Schefter added that even if the wideout is on the field, it "would be more of a limited role." He injured his hip flexor and didn't participate in Friday's practice. But it […]

D'Andre Swift Expected To Face The 49ers

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift (quadriceps) is expected to play on Sunday versus the 49ers. The 25-year-old has struggled in the last few games, most recently amassing only 39 yards off 11 carries and adding two catches for 35 yards in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions. He missed a few practices throughout […]

DJ Moore Likely Good To Go In Week 14

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (quadriceps) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 27-year-old was busy in the Thanksgiving loss to the Detroit Lions, catching eight passes (16 targets) for 97 yards and one touchdown. Unfortunately, he has been dealing with a quad issue. However, that likely won't keep him […]

George Pickens In Line To Play Versus Cleveland

According to ESPN'S Adam Schefter, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Browns. However, Schefter added that "the team wants to test him pre-game to make sure he's good to go." The wideout popped up on the injury report unexpectedly and was limited during Friday's practice, […]

Jakobi Meyers Anticipated To Suit Up On Sunday

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) is anticipated to play on Sunday versus the Bucs. The wideout didn't practice on Thursday because of an ankle issue.

Kevin Austin Jr. A Desperation Play Vs. Giants

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kevin Austin Jr. is not a recommended fantasy option in this weekend's road tilt against the New York Giants. The Notre Dame alum was signed from the team's practice squad on Saturday after appearing in three straight games due to various injuries in their WR room. With fellow wideout Bub […]

Van Jefferson Will See Increased Usage This Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Van Jefferson could be an intriguing deep-league play this weekend when he squares off against the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old typically wouldn't garner much fantasy consideration, considering his low-volume role in the Steelers' offensive attack. However, he could be featured more this weekend against their division rivals, with fellow wideout George […]

Mack Hollins Not To Be Trusted For Week 14

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mack Hollins is not on the fantasy radar for Week 14's outing against the Los Angeles Rams. LA is actually a strong matchup for wide receivers, as they allow the twelfth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts (34.1) -- so that isn't the issue. The problem is Hollins' fantasy output. Despite […]

George Holani Elevated By Seattle

Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani was elevated from the team's practice squad ahead of their matchup against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. With fellow running back Kenneth Walker (ankle, calf) deemed questionable after back-to-back DNPs to end the week, Seattle will elect to go with a bit of […]

Bucky Irving Expected To Play Vs. Raiders

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Bucky Irving (hip, back) is expected to play in Week 14 when his team lines up against the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie picked up two injuries in last weekend's 26-23 win over the Carolina Panthers, starting the week with back-to-back DNPs. However, the […]

Cardinals Defense Is A Low-End Starting Option In Week 14

The Arizona Cardinals defense is a low-end starting option in fantasy as they host the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the loss the last time these teams played, the Cardinals defense performed well in that matchup. They recorded five sacks, forced an interception, and allowed just 10 points. This game will now be played in Arizona, with […]

Khris Middleton Listed As Probable For Sunday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran guard made his season debut on Friday night against the Celtics, playing 23 minutes in his return. Middleton made an immediate impact, contributing 11 points, three rebounds, and five assists. As he continues to regain his rhythm, Middleton […]

D/ST Matchups to Target in Week 14 - Cardinals D/ST, Saints D/ST, Titans D/ST, Bears D/ST

Generally, people can be slow to react to defenses that emerge as some of the league's best in the middle of the season. But that can give you a big edge in your DFS fantasy games. It's the nature of the NFL that in the right matchups, even overall poor defenses can perform well. In […]
