Calvin Ridley Cleared For Sunday, Should Take Advantage Of Houston’s Secondary

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (illness) was removed from the final injury report after logging full practices on Thursday and Friday.

Will Levis On The Superflex Radar In Sunday's Matchup Against Houston

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis faces divisional rival the Houston Texans in an afternoon clash this Sunday. The young quarterback has posted back-to-back 15-plus point fantasy performances for the first time all year and reached a season-high in passing yards last week with 295. Levis' 98-yard touchdown strike to Nick Westbrook-Ikine skewed his overall numbers […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen his workload in the passing game increase over the last few weeks.

Vikings D/ST In Excellent Spot Vs. Bears

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams yet again has a favorable matchup on tap in Week 12 when they line up against the Chicago Bears.

John Parker Romo Not Recommended In Week 12

Minnesota Vikings kicker John Parker Romo will not be a recommended option this weekend when his team squares off against the Chicago Bears in a divisional matchup. The second-year player has hit on all five of his field goal tries since being called upon to work in Will Reichard's (quad) stead. However, he failed to […]

DeVonta Smith Ruled Out For Week 12

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's tilt against the Los Angeles Rams, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network.

If anything, perhaps a […]

Jordan Addison Untrustworthy In Divisional Clash

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will be difficult to trust in Week 12 when his team takes on the Chicago Bears. The second-year wideout has seen his target totals tick up over the previous few contests but will be a risky play as little more than a WR4 this weekend against a Bears defense […]

Nelson Agholor Back At Practice On Friday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor (illness) returned to practice on Friday after sitting out on Thursday. Agholor was feeling under the weather on Thursday, but his return to the practice field a day later bodes well for his availability on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12. The Ravens will have […]
