Ja'Tavion Sanders Unlikely To Play Against Buccaneers

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Wednesday that rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) is unlikely to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers this Sunday. It hardly comes as a surprise after Sanders suffered a scary head/neck injury last Sunday in the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that […]

Jalen Coker Unlikely To Play In Week 13

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said on Wednesday that rookie wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) is unlikely to play in Week 13 on Sunday against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coker also missed last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, so the 23-year-old is trending toward missing a second straight game after not […]

D'Andre Swift A Risky Flex Play Against Tough Lions Defense In Week 13

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift shapes up as a risky flex option in Week 13 as he faces one of the most formidable run defenses in the NFL in the Detroit Lions. Despite some injuries, Detroit's rush defense remains formidable, ranking fifth in rush yards allowed and second in points allowed. Swift had a […]

Caleb Williams A High-Risk, High-Reward QB Option In Week 13

This Thursday, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Caleb Williams presents a high-risk, high-reward fantasy option as he faces the Detroit Lions. After a strong performance in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings, where he completed 32 of 47 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns, Williams will look to build on that momentum. While the Lions […]

Nick Bosa, Trent Williams Not Practicing On Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) and left tackle Trent Williams (heel, knee) will not take part in the first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 13? Jared Goff, Jameson Williams, Sam LaPorta

The Detroit Lions will play the Chicago Bears on Thanksgiving morning tomorrow. While their running backs, David Montgomery (shoulder) and Jahmyr Gibbs, and their best wideout, Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) are lineup locks and must-start players, some of their other offensive weapons present more challenging start-sit decisions. Among them are quarterback Jared Goff, wide receiver […]

Brock Purdy To Be Limited In Wednesday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) will be limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Purdy was unable to play in the Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to right-shoulder soreness, but he did feel good while doing some light throwing on Monday. It's a good sign […]

Surgery Not Off The Table For Trevor Lawrence

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) said that surgery isn't being ruled out during or after the season for his AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. However, Lawrence said he wants to play the rest of the season. He obviously would be ruled out for the rest of the year if he undergoes […]

When Is MarShawn Lloyd Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2024)

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (appendix) seemed to have a future ceiling of Aaron Jones Lite in the excellent offense he became a part of when he was drafted in 2024. Unfortunately, that hasn't come to pass. He's only touched the ball seven times this season, handling six carries for 15 yards and […]

DeVonta Smith Still Not Practicing

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) remains out of the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday.

When Is Zamir White Coming Back? Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2024)

2024 was poised to be a superb season for Las Vegas running back Zamir White. Too bad a broken-down body has prevented him from having a breakout year.

Noah Clowney Out Versus Suns

Brooklyn Nets forward Noah Clowney (ankle) will be unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Suns. Clowney sprained his left ankle in the fourth quarter on Sunday against the Kings.

When Is Jalen Coker Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 13 (2024)

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quadricep) was a fantasy football darling for about one week before the hype around him died down. There are a few factors impacting his scoring abilities, but it's tough to be relevant in the NFL as an undrafted free agent.  He's been surprisingly solid as a receiver despite not […]

Isiah Pacheco Will Return In Week 13

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle) will return in Week 13 to play this Friday in a divisional clash against the Las Vegas Raiders as long as he doesn't suffer a setback before then, according to head coach Andy Reid. Pacheco was close to returning from Injured Reserve in the Week 12 win […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) wasn't able to participate in his team's Week 12 game against the Denver Broncos.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) was present on Wednesday but did not take part in practice with the rest of the team after suffering a scary head/neck injury in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
