Bears Put Andy Dalton On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed quarterback Andy Dalton on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. Dalton was inactive due to a hand injury in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers, and now he's unlikely to be available again unless he tests negative before the Monday night game against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. […]

Kyrie Irving Begins Return, Will Play In Road Games

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving is going to suit up this season without being vaccinated after all. After the Nets' organization was originally resistant to the idea of Irving playing in only road games due to New York's COVID-19 vaccination requirements, it appears they have shifted their thought process as Irving will ramp up […]

Elijah Mitchell Won't Play In Week 15

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons. Mitchell hasn't been able to clear the league's concussion protocol and will miss his second straight game. Jeff Wilson Jr. should be the primary running back for the second straight week, although he'll likely […]

Russell Westbrook Clears Protocols, Will Play Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Russell Westbrook has tested out of the league's health and safety protocols in time to suit up for Friday's contest against the Timberwolves. The move is the latest in a whirlwind of testing around the league, with Westbrook ultimately not missing any time after entering the protocols. His inclusion vs. Minnesota […]

Davis Mills - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills has a solid matchup against Jacksonville in Week 15. Mills was good last week after replacing Tyrod Taylor in the starting role, something that's expected to continue for the rest of the year. Now he faces a Jacksonville defense that is 31st in pass DVOA. Yet his offensive line […]

Questionable Tag For Josh Reynolds

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (thigh) is listed as questionable for the Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Reynolds was a mid-week addition to the injury report on Thursday, and he's been limited in practice the last two days. The 26-year-old has a pretty good shot to play this weekend, but fantasy managers […]

D'Andre Swift Ruled Out For Week 15

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for the Week 15 game against the Arizona Cardinals after he missed practice all week. Swift hasn't practiced or played since suffering an AC joint sprain in his shoulder on Thanksgiving in Week 12. Jamaal Williams remains on the COVID-19 list, so the […]

Zach Ertz Questionable For Sunday's Game

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) is questionable to face the Detroit Lions in Week 15 after popping up on Friday's injury report. Ertz put in a limited practice, so he should be able to suit up on Sunday, but fantasy managers will want to check the pregame actives/inactives just to be sure. The […]

Tage Thompson Logs Six Shots On Goal Thursday Against Wild

On Thursday, Tage Thompson and the Buffalo Sabres squeaked by with a 3-2 overtime shootout victory over the Minnesota Wild. The centerman Thompson recorded six shots on goal, but he could not find the back of the net. Thompson has scored ten goals and collected eight helpers while producing 92 shots on goal this season. […]

Emmanuel Sanders Doubtful To Face Panthers

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (knee) missed practice all week and is doubtful to play in Week 15 against the Carolina Panthers. Sanders has been expected to miss at least one game all along this week, and he'll likely officially be ruled out on Saturday. The veteran wideout has had a tough second half […]

Aaron Jones Good To Go For Week 15

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee, illness) returned to a limited practice on Friday and was removed from the final injury report for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. Jones sat out of Thursday's practice with a non-COVID-19-related illness and is expected to play on Sunday. The 27-year-old is trending down as an […]

Aaron Rodgers Not On The Final Injury Report

Despite missing practice all week as he manages a broken pinkie toe, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) wasn't given an injury designation on the final injury report for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. The 38-year-old future Hall of Famer doesn't need to practice to have success on Sundays at this point in […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Questionable For Week 15

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens after being limited in practice all week. Receiver Malik Taylor (abdomen) is also questionable, while Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) is doubtful to play. Valdes-Scantling should be able to suit up and is an intriguing boom/bust WR4/flex in a […]

Sammy Watkins Will Play Against Green Bay

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (knee) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday and won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Green Bay Packers. The writing was on the wall for Watkins to play when he practiced in full on Thursday. The 28-year-old veteran wideout just […]

Marquise Brown Questionable For Week 15

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) was limited in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers. Brown has been dealing with a non-COVID-19-related illness this week, but he figures to play this weekend. The Packers defense has allowed the most fantasy points per game to receivers […]

Kenneth Gainwell - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell is unlikely to have much of a role in a Week 15 Tuesday Night Football game against the Washington Football Team. With the Eagles backfield all healthy enough to play, Miles Sanders (ankle), Jordan Howard (knee), and Boston Scott are all expected to be ahead of Gainwell in […]

Tyler Higbee Goes On COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Rams added four more players to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, including tight end Tyler Higbee. Higbee missed the Week 14 win over the Arizona Cardinals on Monday night due to a false-positive, but he's back on the list and will need to test negative and be asymptomatic to have a shot […]

Boston Scott - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott will likely return to a supporting role on offense in a Week 15 matchup (on Tuesday night!) against the Washington Football Team. Scott played well when given the chance over the past few weeks, but with the Eagles backfield getting healthy, Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) will […]

Kareem Hunt Lands On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns placed running back Kareem Hunt (ankle) on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. In addition to Hunt, the Browns placed safety Grant Delpit, safety Ronnie Harrison, quarterback Case Keenum, linebacker Jacob Phillips, linebacker Mack Wilson, linebacker Tony Fields II and cornerback A.J. Green on the list. Hunt has already been ruled out for […]

Christian Kirk Thriving In The Slot

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has been thriving in a full-time role as the team's slot receiver in 2021. Through 13 games, he leads the team in catches (53), receiving yards (718) and trails only DeAndre Hopkins for the most touchdowns on the team. "It's been great," Kirk said. "I feel like I'm getting […]

Jordan Howard Expected Back For Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) will return for a Week 15 Tuesday Night Football game against the Washington Football Team. Before being forced to miss time with the knee injury, Howard was averaging 13 carries per game and should have something similar in this one. Always a threat to score a touchdown, Howard […]

Jonnu Smith - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith has been disappointing throughout the 2021 campaign. Heading into Week 15, Smith has 26 receptions, 271 yards, and one touchdown. Smith only has five receptions over his last three games. Although, he'll get a plus matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. A defense that has allowed […]

Chase Edmonds Expected To Return In Week 15

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) has spent more than a month on the sidelines since suffering an ankle injury in Week 9, but he's expected to be activated from Injured Reserve and play in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. "I feel good about it," head coach Kliff Kingsbury said. "I think Sunday […]

Miles Sanders To Lead A Crowded Backfield In Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) will play on Tuesday Night Football when the Eagles take on the Washington Football Team. Sanders easily led the backfield with 27 touches in his last game before getting hurt, but with Jordan Howard (knee) also returning and Boston Scott proving to be an effective runner as well, […]

Hunter Henry - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been a touchdown-dependent option all season long. Although, he has been held to 25 yards or less and no scores over each of his last three games. Hopefully, that will change for Henry against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. A defense that has allowed the third-most […]

James Conner Likely To Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle), who returned to practice on Friday after missing the previous two days, is likely to play on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury is confident that Conner will be available. Conner has been the biggest steal of fantasy drafts in 2021 and was the workhorse […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor continues to be a sluggish option all season long. In fact, he has failed to surpass 40 receiving yards in three of his last four games. It's not going to get any easier for him against the Indianapolis Colts defense in Week 15. A defense that has allowed […]

Jalen Hurts - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) was able to practice in full on Friday and is likely to play when the Eagles take the field on Tuesday evening against the Washington Football Team. Backup Gardner Minshew did an admirable job in a Week 14 win, but Hurts remains the Eagles starter when healthy. While coach […]
