Nick Richards Starting On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Big man Mark Williams (back) will sit out this game, so Richards should have a significant role in the rotation. Richards averaged a double-double during nine starts last season. He's well worth a look as a […]

Kendre Miller Still Missing From Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (ankle) missed yet another practice on Wednesday. Miller, a third-round pick this year out of TCU, sprained his ankle in Week 9 and hasn't practiced or played since. The 21-year-old isn't off to a great start as the team begins preparations for their Week 14 game against […]

Alex Caruso Available For Wednesday's Game

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (toe) is available for Wednesday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was considered probable coming into this game, but will officially suit up for this game. He'll be in the starting five and resume his normal role in the rotation. The presence of Caruso will mean less minutes for Ayo […]

Juwan Johnson Listed As Limited Wednesday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (quadriceps) was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a quadriceps injury. Johnson played a season-low 57 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 13 loss to the Detroit Lions and couldn't haul in any of his three targets. His first target early in Sunday's game clanked off […]

Taysom Hill Dealing With Foot, Hand Injuries

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill (foot, hand) is dealing with multiple injuries this week and wasn't able to practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Hill is now in danger of missing the Week 14 contest against the Carolina Panthers unless he can get back on the practice field in the […]

No Practice For Jonathan Taylor Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is still missing from practice on Wednesday. Taylor had thumb surgery on Nov. 29 and missed his first game in Week 13's overtime win over the Tennessee Titans. He's highly unlikely practice or play in Week 14 against the Bengals in Cincinnati this Sunday. The 24-year-old was given […]

Julio Jones Picks Up DNP On Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Julio Jones (groin) did not take part in practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Jones lost snaps -- he was out there for only 10 snaps -- to Quez Watkins in the Week 13 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers and could be in danger of sitting […]

Chris Boswell A Middling Week 14 Option

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was successful on one of his two field goal attempts and converted on his lone extra-point try of a Week 13 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 32-year-old will hope to see more opportunities in a Thursday night showdown with the New England Patriots. Although New England's defense has held […]

Dallas Goedert Practicing In Full

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) put in a full practice on Wednesday and appears on track to make his return for a big divisional contest in Week 14 against the rival Dallas Cowboys. Tight end Grant Calcaterra (ankle) was also a full-go, while Jack Stoll (knee) was limited. Goedert hasn't played since fracturing […]

Chad Ryland Not A Reliable Option For Week 14

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland has not been a reliable fantasy option all season long, and that remains the case ahead of Week 14 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Patriots were held scoreless against a suspect Chargers defense last week and will face similar difficulty this Thursday with Bailey Zappe under center. Beyond the […]

Patriots Defense An Appealing Option In Week 14

The New England Patriots' defense has significant streaming appeal in most fantasy football leagues ahead of their primetime clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. While New England has been struggling lately, so, too, has Pittsburgh. The team recently fired its offensive coordinator, scored just 10 points against the Cardinals last week, was forced […]

Kenneth Walker III, Zach Charbonnet Miss Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running backs Kenneth Walker III (oblique) and rookie Zach Charbonnet (knee) were both listed as non-participants in Wednesday's walkthrough practice. Walker has missed the last two games following a moderate oblique strain he suffered in Week 11. Meanwhile, Charbonnet bruised his knee in last Thursday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Both backs have […]

Steelers D/ST Offers Safe Floor And High Ceiling Against Patriots

The Pittsburgh Steelers recorded two sacks and a forced fumble while surrendering 24 points to the Arizona Cardinals in a Week 13 loss. This was a surprising letdown but Pittsburgh will have an excellent opportunity to bounce back against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. The Patriots have scored just 13 total points over […]

Hunter Henry Off Fantasy Radar Despite Increased Volume

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry could have a larger role in Week 14 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers after teammates Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), Demario Douglas (concussion), and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) were ruled out. Nevertheless, his low production over the last few weeks and the Patriots' overall offensive struggles make it tough to trust Henry […]

Bailey Zappe Off Fantasy Radar For Week 14

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe is not a reliable fantasy option for Week 14 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. While one could argue that he has been a slight upgrade over Mac Jones, he was still quite disappointing during his first start of the season last Sunday when he led zero scoring drives, tallied just […]

C.J. Beathard Dealing With Shoulder Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Beathard apparently picked up a shoulder injury after replacing Trevor Lawrence (ankle) in Monday night's overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Lawrence isn't being ruled out for the Week 14 contest against the Cleveland Browns, but he's likely to […]

When Will Dalton Schultz Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The Houston Texans agreed to a one-year "prove it" deal with Dalton Schultz. Fantasy managers, similarly, weren't as sold on the former Cowboy, and wanted him to prove that he could put up numbers in a new offense before he was worthy of a roster spot. Prove it, he did. From Weeks 4 through 11 […]

Pat Freiermuth Faces Tough Challenge In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth will take the field for his eighth appearance of the campaign against the New England Patriots in Week 14. Although Freiermuth displayed his potential to be a solid fantasy asset as recently as Week 12, he'll be difficult to trust on Thursday night with the Patriots surrendering the third-fewest […]

Ezekiel Elliott Headed For Lead-Back Role

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott will operate as the team's No. 1 running back on Thursday night versus the Pittsburgh Steelers after Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) was ruled out. While JaMycal Hasty and Ty Montgomery may earn a few snaps, this backfield belongs to Elliott and he could log around 20 touches, much like […]

Zay Jones Limited In Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) continues to manage a knee injury and was limited in Wednesday's practice. Jones has missed six games in 2023 because of his knee injury, but he's been on the field the last three games. He drew a season-high eight targets and caught five of them for a season-high […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Still Managing Ribs Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs Travis Etienne Jr. (ribs) and D'Ernest Johnson (knee) were both listed as limited practice participants on Wednesday. Etienne went into Monday night's overtime loss to the Cincinnati Bengals with a questionable tag because of his ribs but ultimately played and handled 15 touches for 79 yards and a touchdown. Both he […]

George Pickens Difficult To Trust On Thursday Night Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has been quiet for fantasy purposes in recent weeks and will be looking to turn things around against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football. Unfortunately for Pickens, the Steelers will be starting Mitch Trubisky at quarterback with Kenny Pickett (ankle) expected to be sidelined for a few […]

Optimism That Najee Harris Will Play In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) is listed as questionable to play on Thursday night against the New England Patriots following two straight missed practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, according to sources, there is optimism that he'll suit up. Harris has yet to miss a game since entering the league in 2021, but […]

Diontae Johnson Lacks Upside In Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson found the end zone for the second time this season in Week 13 and will be hoping for similar success against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. With Kenny Pickett (ankle) ruled out, Johnson will catch passes from Mitch Trubisky, who targeted the fifth-year wideout nearly 11 times […]

Juan Yepez Agrees To Minors Deal With Nationals

Free-agent first baseman Juan Yepez agreed to a minor-league deal with the Washington Nationals on Wednesday. Yepez will head for D.C. after appearing in the big leagues in each of the last two seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals. He was more impressive in 76 games in his rookie year in 2022, hitting .253 (64-for-253) […]

Rashid Shaheed Absent From Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (thigh) didn't practice on Wednesday. The wideout was held without a catch in Week 13 versus the Lions before his day ended abruptly because of a thigh injury. But with a few more practices to go before Sunday's meeting with the Carolina Panthers, he still has a shot […]

Jaylen Warren A Fantasy RB2 Against Patriots

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has cooled off significantly over the past two weeks after a dominant stretch from Weeks 9 through 11 and will be looking to bounce back against the New England Patriots on Thursday night. Although the Steelers are optimistic that Najee Harris (knee) will suit up, Warren could still be […]

Derek Carr Back On The Field Wednesday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (head, rib, shoulder) practiced on Wednesday. Although it was only a limited session, it's still a positive development, considering the 32-year-old suffered a concussion in the Week 13 matchup with the Detroit Lions. Of course, he remains in concussion protocol, so he's not out of the woods just yet. […]

Angels Sign Willie Calhoun To Minor-League Deal

The Los Angeles Angels signed outfielder Willie Calhoun and right-hander Travis MacGregor to minor-league deals with spring training invites on Wednesday. Calhoun had a .712 OPS with the New York Yankees in 2023 and has played parts of seven years in the majors with the Yankees, Texas Rangers and San Francisco Giants. MacGregor has never […]

Elijah Mitchell Dealing With A Knee Issue

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday. The 25-year-old is dealing with a knee injury. However, this isn't rare for the 26-year-old, who's missed time because of knee issues over the years. For now, fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Sunday's NFC West battle with the Seahawks. That said, […]
