Bears Place Eddie Jackson On COVID-19 List

The Chicago Bears placed star safety Eddie Jackson on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

Losing him against Green […]

Broncos Defense Surprises In Week 11

The Denver Broncos Defense was pretty much left for dead after allowing 30-plus points four weeks in a row, but they turned things around to help pull out the 20-13 win over the Dolphins in Week 11.

Jerry Jeudy Quiet In Win Over Dolphins

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was tied for the team lead in targets (eight) in the 20-13 Week 11 win over the Dolphins, but he reeled in just three of those eight targets for 37 yards. The targets were encouraging, as Jeudy has at least eight targets in each of his last four […]

Noah Fant Nothing Spectacular In Week 11

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant secured four of his five targets for 55 yards in the Week 11 win over the Dolphins. The Broncos running game dominated this contest, so the Denver offense didn't need to go to the air as much as they have in recent weeks while playing from behind. That didn't […]

Ravens Defense Expected To Add Pierre Desir

The Baltimore Ravens are expected to sign former Jets cornerback Pierre Desir once he goes through the league's COVID-19 testing protocols, according to a source. Desir signed a one-year deal with the Jets for up to $5.5 million in the offseason, but the struggling cornerback was released last week. Before the 2020 season, Desir had […]

Cre'Von LeBlanc Likely Headed To Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cre'Von LeBlanc (ankle) had an MRI exam show a second-degree high-ankle sprain, according to a source.

Rays Designate Hunter Renfroe For Assignment

The Tampa Bay Rays designated outfielder Hunter Renfroe for assignment last Friday to help clear their 40-man roster for three young prospects. Renfroe appeared in 42 games last year (34 starts) during the shortened 2020 season and hit the first grand slam in Rays postseason history during the wild-card sweep of the Blue Jays. However, […]

Kerryon Johnson (RB, DET) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 16% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson has been a bit of an afterthought this year with rookie D'Andre Swift (head) and veteran Adrian Peterson both outproducing and outworking him. However, now could be the time to jump on Johnson on the waiver wire […]

Keelan Cole Sr. (WR, JAX) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

Raiders Defense Allows 35 Points

The Raiders defense had a tough time against the Chiefs explosive offense, allowing 35 points in the loss. They allowed 460 yards of offense, and they also struggled to get off the field on 3rd and 4th down. They have now allowed 30 points or more in half of their games and also struggle to […]

Jordan Akins (TE, HOU) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Even though Jordan Akins has just 55.5 PPR total points through Week 11, he is the TE28 of the NFL right now. That's insane. A borderline TE2 with that point total just shows how slim the position is. Akins' 7.9 PPR per game […]

Robert Tonyan (TE, GB) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 46% of Leagues ANALYSIS: No freaking tight end is winning you the league, nor your weekly fantasy contests, nor whatever you want to say/write/put in here--unless you have Travis Kelce, obviously. The tight end position is a dessert, and a post-apocalyptic thing bringing only bad things with […]
