49ers D/ST Not A Great Option In Week 12

The San Francisco 49ers defense/special teams unit is in Green Bay for a Week 12 matchup against the Packers.

Green Bay on the road […]

Trey Benson Could See Increased Work In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Trey Benson has begun to slowly find a role in the offense and could be in store for a solid workload in their Week 12 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Demarcus Robinson Viewed As Risky Flex Option In Week 12

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson should be viewed as a risky flex option heading into a Week 12 tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The New York Yankees non-tendered infielder Jon Berti and left-hander Tim Mayza on Friday, making them both free agents.

Daniel Jones Unlikely To Be Claimed Off Waivers

The New York Giants granted quarterback Daniel Jones' request to be released on Friday, and the sixth-year QB will now be subject to waivers. However, any team claiming him would be responsible for the remaining $11,833,333 he's guaranteed this year, which makes it highly unlikely any team will claim him off waivers. NFL teams interested […]

Mike Evans Not Concerned With Aggravating Hamstring Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), who is expected to play in Week 12 against the New York Giants despite a questionable tag on the final injury report, said he had no concerns about aggravating his right hamstring in his return this Sunday.

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit should be in starting lineups in all fantasy leagues this weekend when they head to Allegiant Stadium on Sunday to take on the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders and their floundering offense led by quarterback Gardner Minshew II, who has already been benched two separate times in 2024.
