Dennis Schroder Could Miss Friday's Game

Boston Celtics guard Dennis Schroder (ankle) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Schroder suffered this ankle injury during Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers are likely going to have to wait until closer to tip-off for more information. Marcus Smart and Payton Pritchard would likely be asked to step […]

Emmanuel Sanders Excused From Friday's Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders was excused from practice on Friday for personal reasons.

Sanders and Thomas, both members of the 2010 draft class, were teammates in Denver […]

David Njoku Trending In Wrong Direction

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (COVID-19) is "not trending in the right direction" in regards to his status for Week 14 against Baltimore. The 25-year-old is asymptomatic but would need to be activated by Saturday at 4 p.m. in order to play this Sunday. Of course, he can't be activated unless he remains asymptomatic […]

J.D. McKissic Spotted At Friday's Practice

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic (concussion) is practicing on Friday. He did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday, so the fact that he is practicing in some capacity again on Friday is a good sign. Through 11 games this season, the 28-year-old has posted 212 rushing yards, 397 receiving yards, […]

Mike Evans - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans was one yard shy of recording his third 100-yard receiving game in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He caught seven of 10 targets for 99 yards in last Sunday's win. This season, the 28-year-old has been terrific, catching 57 passes for 794 yards and 10 […]

Joe Mixon Misses Third Consecutive Practice

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) is absent from practice for the third consecutive day this week. Although official injury statuses have not been released yet, the expectation is that Mixon's availability this weekend will be far from a guarantee. If he suits up, fantasy managers should treat him as a high-end RB1. However, […]

Davis Mills Officially Named Week 14 Starter

Houston Texans rookie quarterback Davis Mills has officially been named the team's starter by head coach David Culley. The move was widely expected but not yet confirmed until Friday morning. The announcement indicates another passing of the torch to Mills, who completed 146 of 223 passes for 1,406 yards, seven touchdowns, and eight interceptions while […]

Elijah Moore Officially Questionable For Week 14

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Elijah Moore (quad) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.

Tevin Coleman Ruled Out For Week 14

New York Jets starting running back Tevin Coleman (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints. The 28-year-old had been filling in for the injured Michael Carter (ankle) and totaled 147 scrimmage yards over his last two games. Now, Ty Johnson will likely serve as the lead back on Sunday, though Austin […]

D'Andre Swift 'Unlikely' To Play In Week 14

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) is "unlikely" to play against the Broncos on Sunday, head coach Dan Campbell told the media. The second-year back did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, and the expectation surrounding his involvement remains the same for Friday. With Swift expected to miss his second straight game, the Lions […]

Tyrod Taylor Practices In Full On Thursday

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor (left wrist) practiced in full for the second consecutive day on Thursday. Although he should be active for Week 14 and Houston has yet to officially name a starter, the expectation is that Davis Mills will get the nod. The 32-year-old Taylor went 60-for-106 with just 550 passing yards, two […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is coming off a monster performance in the Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons. He caught 15-of-17 targets for 143 yards and rushed once for nine yards in last Sunday's win. Godwin will look to build on his performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. The […]

Kirill Kaprizov Takes His Point Streak To Seven Games

Minnesota Wild winger Kirill Kaprizov continued to crush it on Thursday, finishing a 5-2 victory over San Jose with a goal and assist.

Jared Cook - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook will draw an average matchup versus the New York Giants in Week 14.

Wide receivers Keenan Allen (COVID-19) and Mike Williams (COVID-19) […]

Deep Dive: Why Is Saquon Barkley Struggling?

A major storyline this season was the return of New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley. Infamously selected with the second overall pick in the 2018 draft, Barkley has been perceived as a generational talent since he was at Penn State. I mean, how many players can carry a fringe first-round average draft position […]

Joshua Palmer - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Josh Palmer drew plenty of praise this preseason, but hasn't done much during his first regular season. That could change on Sunday with the Chargers top two wide receivers, Keenan Allen (COVID-19) and Mike Williams (COVID-19) both on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Williams has been marked as a close contact, […]

Andreas Athanasiou Returns With A Goal

Los Angeles Kings winger Andreas Athanasiou returned from COVID-19 protocols with his third goal of the season. He completed the scoring with an empty-netter in a 4-0 win over Dallas. The 27-year-old speedster skated for 11:35 and ended the game with a plus-two rating and two shots. Athanasiou missed six games and re-entered the lineup […]
