Zane Gonzalez - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez is a streaming option in Week 14. Gonzalez has gone 20-for-22 in field goals and 19-for-20 in extra points this season with the team, so he hasn't been inaccurate. The Falcons are average against fantasy kickers, so Gonzalez could be a good fill-in if you need the help in Week […]

Nazem Kadri Out Again On Friday

Colorado Avalanche center Nazem Kadri will sit out Friday's matchup against Detroit with a lower-body injury. This will be Kadri's second night off in a week and hopefully, it won't become a recurring theme. Kadri has scored in both outings he's had over the last week, continuing his fantastic season. The 31-year-old is the fourth-best […]

Panthers Defense A Streaming Option In Week 14 Against Falcons

The Carolina Panthers defense is in the streaming tier in Week 14. While this unit hasn't been as sturdy as it once was, there is appeal against a Falcons team that is lacking talent on offense. QB Matt Ryan has tossed 11 picks this season while the offensive skill players have eight fumbles on the […]

Ian Thomas - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas should remain on the bench for the Week 14 clash against Atlanta. The TE's production has been nonexistent this season and he's posted a total of 26 yards in the last five games total. Given his low usage, Thomas doesn't need to be in starting lineups.

Matt Duchene Misses First Game Of The Season

Nashville Predators forward Matt Duchene has been ruled out of Friday's contest against the Devils with an upper-body injury. He will sit out his first game of the season. Duchene's first two years in Music City haven't gone according to play, but he's enjoyed fine form in 2021-22 with 25 points in 26 games. He's […]

Robby Anderson - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is not a strong fantasy play in Week 14. The 28-year-old has been underwhelming all season and hasn't posted more than 57 yards in a contest. In the last three weeks, he's posted 30 or more yards twice but that's still not elite production. Given his production woes, it's […]

Jonathan Bernier Placed On Injured Reserve

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier (hip) has been placed on Injured Reserve, and the veteran appears to be set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Bernier has already missed time with a hip injury this season and the news is very worrying, with Devils head coach Lindy Ruff saying that he's "worried and […]

DJ Moore - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is a low-end WR1 option against the Falcons in Week 14. The WR has been a bit inconsistent this season, but when he's firing on all cylinders, he's an elite fantasy option. Prior to their bye, Moore posted 103 yards against Miami a couple of weeks ago. He now […]

Chuba Hubbard - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is an RB2 option in Week 14. With starter Christian McCaffrey out for the remainder of the season (ankle), Hubbard will step into the workhorse role.

Aleksander Barkov, Anthony Duclair Out On Friday

Florida Panthers forwards Aleksander Barkov and Anthony Duclair won't be in the lineup on Friday against Arizona. Barkov returned from a knee problem earlier in the week and picked up an unrelated new injury straight away. Hopefully, he doesn't have to face another spell on the sidelines. The Panthers captain has been practicing, which is […]

Cam Newton - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton is a QB2 option against Atlanta in Week 14. The QB has been up-and-down with Carolina since returning to his old team last month. He struggled mightily in the team's last game against Miami, posting 92 passing yards and two picks. Still, the Falcons allow the second-most fantasy points to […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov OK To Go On Friday

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov (lower body) is in the lineup on Friday against Pittsburgh.

Casey Mittelstadt Ruled Out Indefinitely Following Surgery

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt has been ruled out indefinitely after he underwent lower-body surgery. It's a big blow for the 23-year-old, who had just returned to the lineup following a lengthy absence, but the team hopes to get him back before the end of the season. Mittelstadt has skated in just four games this […]

Keenan Allen Won't Play Against The Giants

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (illness) won't play against the Giants in Week 14.

Tony Pollard (foot) will be a game-time decision, so the Cowboys could […]

Ricky Seals-Jones - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones will find himself back into the starting role with Logan Thomas now out for the remainder of the season. Seals-Jones hasn't played since Week 10, so he could take some time to get back into a rhythm. John Bates could see some increased playing time to ease him […]

Taylor Heinicke - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke will look to lead his team to their fifth consecutive win on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. Heinicke can be valued as a QB2 in Week 14 due to his solid play as of late and a good matchup with the Cowboys defense that has surrendered the seventh-most passing […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to get back on track in Week 14, as the third-year wideout has posted four duds in his last five games. McLaurin will once again be a boom-or-bust option against Trevon Diggs and the Dallas Cowboys, so fantasy managers will likely be in for one of […]

Antonio Gibson - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson finds himself in the RB1 discussion once again as he has become a workhorse running back after the team's BYE week. It looks like his shin injury is no longer limiting him, as the sophomore has logged 64 combined touches in the past two games. Dallas has been […]
