Another DNP For Anthony Schwartz

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Anthony Schwartz (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and looks unlikely to return in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens after missing his second straight practice on Thursday. The 21-year-old suffered a head injury on Nov. 14 against the New England Patriots and hasn't played since, and it's definitely […]

Jarvis Landry Returns To Practice Thursday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. Landry returned from Injured Reserve in Week 7 but has been managing the knee issue ever since. Unless he suffers a setback on Friday, he's full expected to play in the rematch against the Baltimore Ravens […]

Ryan Poehling On Second-Line Duty In Thursday's Game

Montreal Canadiens forward Ryan Poehling has a chance to skate on the second line in Thursday's matchup against Chicago, with the team having suffered a number of injuries. Christian Dvorak (lower body) was the latest victim of the injury bug in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to Tampa. Artturi Lehkonen and Jake Evans are also on the […]

Keelan Cole - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole was unable to suit up last week, but is hopeful to play in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. He was able to practice earlier this week, which is a good sign. The Jets could certainly use his help with Corey Davis (groin) done for the season […]

Randall Cobb Has Surgery, Will Miss Several Games

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb suffered a core muscle injury in the Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Rams that required surgery, according to a source. The Packers now think he'll miss several games, and the hope is that he can return in time for the playoffs. Cobb was having one of […]

Ryan Griffin - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday. That is good news, so fantasy managers can be hopeful that Griffin will play in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints. However, Griffin doesn't have much value heading into this contest. He has been held to […]

Welcome to Week 14 RotoBaller, with the Thursday Night Football game on tap for tonight! As always we are back with our early fantasy football rankings for Week 14, focused on the TNF matchup and the relevant injury news so far for the week. Once again there are several teams on by this week, and […]

James Robinson Resting Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel, knee) is expected to get every Thursday practice off for the rest of the season as part of a load management plan. Robinson has been dealing with heel and knee injuries since Week 8, but he was limited on Wednesday and should be active this Sunday against the […]

Harrison Bryant Ruled Out For Week 14

Cleveland Browns tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle), who is dealing with a high ankle sprain, has already been ruled out for Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens. Bryant wasn't able to get right during the team's bye next week, and he won't be a lock to return in Week 15, either. However, Cleveland doesn't plan […]

Jamison Crowder - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder could be asked to step up against the New Orleans Saints in Week 14. The Jets are without Corey Davis (groin) and possibly without Elijah Moore (quad) who has missed practice this week. That means, Crowder could be asked to be the No. 1 wideout for the Jets […]

Allen Robinson II Intends To Play Sunday Night

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) has missed the last three games, but he intends to return in Week 14 against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. Robinson returned to a limited practice on Wednesday for the first time since injuring his hamstring on Nov. 8 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But […]

Austin Walter - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets running back Austin Walter made his season debut with nine carries in Week 12. However, it seemed like a fluke appearance because last week he only saw one attempt on the ground. Now, Walter could be forced into significant playing time again with Michael Carter (ankle) ruled out and Tevin Coleman (concussion) […]

David Montgomery Limited Thursday

After not practicing on Wednesday, Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (glute, groin, shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday. It's a positive sign that he will be able to play on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, but fantasy managers would feel more comfortable using him if he gets in another practice on […]

Is Dalvin Cook Playing Tonight? Vikings RB Injury Update vs. Steelers on Thursday Night Football

Fantasy football managers are finalizing their lineups as they gear up for the playoff push starting in Week 14. Some player injury issues will make a significant impact on their lineup decisions, though. Let's tackle the big injury of a key offensive weapon for the Minnesota Vikings and the fantasy impact for the Week 14 […]

Broncos Defense Will Be A Popular Play This Week

The Denver Broncos defense is allowing the third-fewest points per game (18.2) and will face a Detroit Lions team that is putting up the fourth-fewest points per game (16.9). Through 13 weeks, it's clear that Denver's defense is the strength of this team. Rookie first-round cornerback Patrick Surtain II has come on strong in recent […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (head, knee) missed another practice on Thursday. The rookie's chances of playing against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 seem bleak, so fantasy managers should find a replacement. With that being said, it appears that Mitchell will soon return to action, so a long-term fix isn't necessary. Headlining […]

Dalvin Cook To “Maintain Regular Workload”

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) will play with a shoulder harness in his Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. Also, according to Adam Schefter, "expectations are that Cook maintains his regular workload." Furthermore, Cook played with a similar harness after his last shoulder injury and proceeded to manage 31 […]

Brandon McManus - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus had another forgettable game in the Week 13 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs when he made his only field-goal attempt. In Denver's low-scoring and methodical offense, McManus has merely been a streaming option in certain weeks based on the matchups. Week 14 is one of the weeks you'll want […]

Zach Cunningham Claimed By Titans

Former Houston Texans linebacker Zach Cunningham was claimed by the Tennessee Titans after being cut recently. Cunningham's fallout with the Texans seemed to do more so with his locker room presence than his on-field performance, however. Although the 26-year-old hasn't played as well as he did last year when he led the league in tackles, […]

Noah Fant - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has 424 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 49 catches this season, but he's mostly been a disappointment for his fantasy managers. Head coach Vic Fangio said that the team will remain committed to employing a rotation at tight end between Fant and Albert Okwuegbunam. The Broncos also continue […]

Is Adam Thielen Playing Today? Should I Start K.J. Osborn?

Thursday Night Football is here, and fantasy football managers are in the homestretch of the fantasy football season as we are a week away from the fantasy playoffs. Staying up to date on the latest injuries is key, and know the fantasy implications of them. Let's take a look at a key piece of the […]

Ty Montgomery Placed On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints running back Ty Montgomery (illness) was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday because of a positive test. Regardless of if he's vaccinated or not, Montgomery will likely miss his Week 14 matchup against the New York Jets. With running backs Alvin Kamara (knee) returning from injury this week, Montgomery was becoming […]

Tim Patrick - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick leads the team with four receiving touchdowns this year. Patrick, who is one of the most underrated pass-catchers in the NFL, did most of his damage earlier in the season when Jerry Jeudy was out with a high ankle sprain. Three of his four touchdowns came before Jeudy returned […]

Vikings Plan To Play Dalvin Cook Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) will most likely be active for his Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. Assuming he's active, it still remains uncertain as to how much the 26-year-old will play, especially since backup Alexander Mattison has done such a stellar job in filling in. Still, being […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio doesn't think it's coincidental that wide receiver Courtland Sutton has disappeared in the offense in the last five games since Jerry Jeudy's return from a high ankle sprain. Jeudy has been the team's most productive receiver since he returned from injury, while Sutton has been targeted only 18 times […]

Jerry Jeudy - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy leads the team with 30 targets in the last five games since he returned in Week 8 from a high ankle sprain that was suffered in the season opener. Jeudy has caught 22 of those 30 targets for 258 yards, but he's still looking for his first touchdown of […]

Javonte Williams - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams was nominated for NFL Rookie of the Week after carrying 23 times for 102 yards while catching six passes for 76 yards and a touchdown against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13 in his first career start. Williams was the first Broncos rookie to have more than […]

Alvin Kamara Practices Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) was back at practice again on Thursday after he was a full participant on Wednesday. Offensive tackles Ryan Ramczyk (knee) and Terron Armstead (knee) were also both practicing, putting them in line to return in Week 14 against the New York Jets. Barring a setback, Kamara will […]

Optimism Surrounding Sterling Shepard

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) was practicing for the second straight day on Thursday, and there is optimism surrounding his status for Week 14 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Shepard has been a big part of the offense in the five games he's played, catching 32 of 43 targets for 324 yards […]

Kenny Golladay Back At Practice Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (ribs) returned to practice on Thursday, and there is optimism that he'll play in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Golladay injured his ribs in the Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins and didn't practice to open the week on Wednesday. He was able to return […]
