Nick Mullens Should Not Be Started In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is in a tough position going into Week 12. First off, he's facing a Los Angeles Rams Defense that has been one of the league's best against the pass. They've allowed just 200.6 passing yards per game this year, which ranks second in the league. Second, Mullens is going […]

Texans Releasing Kenny Stills Friday

The Houston Texans are releasing wide receiver Kenny Stills on Friday to give him a chance to latch on with a contender. Stills will go on waivers. The Texans were open to dealing the 28-year-old at the trade deadline, but nothing ever came of it. He was inactive on Thursday for the team's Thanksgiving win […]

Casey Hayward, Melvin Ingram Out For Chargers Defense

The Los Angeles Chargers have ruled out cornerback Casey Hayward (groin) and defensive end Melvin Ingram (knee) for Week 12 against the Bills. Ingram has already spent time on Injured Reserve for a knee injury, so this is more bad news for the 31-year-old pass-rusher from South Carolina. He's totaled just 10 tackles, four QB […]

Cardinals Defense A Risky Option In Week 12

The Cardinals Defense has a favorable matchup in Week 12. They face a New England Patriots team that's averaged just 20.9 points per game this year. The Cardinals have allowed at least 28 points in four straight games, but they've faced far more productive offenses over that stretch. Against weak offenses, the Cardinals Defense has […]

Kalen Ballage Questionable Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle, calf) is listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Bills. Ballage was limited in practice this week, so he should be able to play, barring a last-minute setback. But we also don't know for sure yet if Austin Ekeler (hamstring) will return yet after being designated […]

Colts Defense Looks To Stop The Run

The Colts Defense has a tough test this week against a good Titans offense. The Titans offense is led by Derrick Henry who rushed for over 100 yards on 5.4 yards per carry against the Colts defense in Week 10. Henry has at least 100 yards in six of 10 games and is averaging 4.8 […]

Andy Isabella A Deep League Dart Throw In Week 12

If you're in a tight spot going into Week 12, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella could be a decent dart-throw option for you. Isabella has been extremely quiet ever since his two-touchdown performance in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. However, this week the Cardinals will be without Larry Fitzgerald for the first time this […]

Dolphins Non-Committal On Tua Tagovailoa, Myles Gaskin

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said the team will watch film on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) and running back Myles Gaskin (knee) before deciding if they will play in Week 12 against the Jets. Tagovailoa's thumb injury wasn't deemed serious this week, so it's curious that they are considering sitting him out against the […]

Christian Kirk A Solid WR2 In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has had two straight rough outings. He's caught just eight passes for 77 yards over the past two weeks. However, things look favorable for him going into Week 12 against the New England Patriots. The team will be without Larry Fitzgerald (COVID-19) for the game, which should mean more […]

Browns Defense An Excellent Option In Week 12

The Cleveland Browns will travel to Florida to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Jacksonville has benched rookie quarterback Jake Luton and will turn to journeyman QB Mike Glennon against Cleveland in the contest. Glennon has not been particularly impressive in his career, having thrown 20 interceptions in 29 games. The last time […]

Salvon Ahmed Ruled Out Against Jets

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 12 against the Jets. On top of it, the Dolphins are non-committal on whether Myles Gaskin (knee) will play after being designated to return from Injured Reserve this week. If Gaskin is available to play, he should be at least eased […]

DeAndre Hopkins Should Be Started As A WR1 In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has a bit of a challenge ahead against the New England Patriots in Week 12. Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is widely known for his efforts to take team's No. 1 options away in games. This week, that will certainly mean Hopkins. Hopkins is coming off a disappointing showing […]

Trey Burton Listed As No. 2 Tight End On Depth Chart

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton enters the week as the No. 2 tight end on the Colts depth chart behind Jack Doyle. Burton played just 29 percent of the team's snaps last week while Jack Doyle played in 54 percent. Mo Alie-Cox is still in the mix as well, and he played 51 percent […]

Pivot Plays and Post-Waiver Pickups: Week 12

Just because no NFL teams or players are on bye this week, it does not mean that fantasy football managers will not be in search of a last-minute replacement this week. Fantasy football teams are now battling for playoff berths and the opportunity to win their league titles. Making sure every player in your lineup […]

Hollywood Brown: Where Have You Gone?

We knew 2020 would be a bad year for Hollywood. We did not think it would be Hollywood Brown. After a sensational yet shortened rookie season in 2019, a lot was expected from Marquise Brown this season in Baltimore. To this point, not only has the team disappointed, so has the lightning-quick wide receiver who […]

Zack Martin Expected To Miss 3-4 Weeks

Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl offensive lineman Zack Martin (calf) is expected to miss three to four weeks with a calf strain that he suffered in the Thanksgiving loss on Thursday to Washington, according to a source. Based on where we are in the season, it could mean that Martin has played his last down of […]

Chase Edmonds A Low-End Flex Play In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds only saw two carries in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, but he delivered in the passing game, catching four passes for 36 yards and a touchdown. Edmonds has amazingly caught all 17 of his targets over his past four games. Unfortunately, Kenyan Drake has been soaking up all […]

Austin Hooper A Low-End TE1 In Week 12

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper is in the midst of a slow season with his new team. Hooper has caught just 26 passes for 249 yards and a touchdown while missing two games for Cleveland. He draws a plus matchup against a Jacksonville Jaguars pass defense that has been generous to opposing tight ends […]

What to Expect from Taysom Hill

New Orleans is the number one seed in the NFC at the moment. They got there despite not having Michael Thomas most of the season. Their defense also struggled early before coming together lately. What did the team have then to make them so solid? Drew Brees. He may not be what he used to […]

Christian McCaffrey Listed As Questionable For Week 12

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 12 against the Vikings, but head coach Matt Rhule said he's "pessimistic" that McCaffrey will play. McCaffrey has been unlikely to play all week, especially with Carolina having their bye in Week 13. But the All-Pro running back is getting closer and […]

Start Kenyan Drake As An RB2 In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake had an interesting performance last week against the Seattle Seahawks. He carried the ball 11 times for 29 yards and a touchdown while adding four catches for 31 yards on five targets. His 2.6 yards per carry were disappointing, but the touchdown helped save his day. Meanwhile, his work […]

Teddy Bridgewater Not On Final Injury Report

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) is off the team's final injury report and is good to go for Week 12 against the Vikings. Bridgewater was close to playing last week but was held out as a precaution in the shutout win over the Lions. Minnesota's defense has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks […]

Start Kyler Murray With Confidence In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) has been limited in practice this week with a right shoulder injury. He is currently questionable for this Sunday's game against the New England Patriots, but the team seems optimistic that he'll be good to go. Murray had one of his weakest fantasy outputs of the year last time […]

T.Y. Hilton A Borderline Flex Option, At Best

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton mostly lacks fantasy value this week against the Titans but could be a flex play in deeper leagues if your lineup is stretched thin. His receptions per game, yards per game, and yards per target are all the lowest of his nine-year career. Hilton also has yet to haul […]

Mike Gesicki Has Increased Value Versus Jets

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki hauled in four of his five targets for 43 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos last week. He could be looking at a bigger role with Jakeem Grant (hamstring) questionable to suit up versus the New York Jets in Week 12. That would mean DeVante Parker and […]

Jonnu Smith Finding End Zone Regularly

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith has seven receiving touchdowns and scored a rushing touchdown in the first meeting against the Colts. The Titans tight end will look to get back into the end zone in the Week 12 rematch against a defense that has allowed only one receiving touchdown to his position this season. […]
