Bill Algeo Returns To The Octagon Seeking First UFC Win

Bill Algeo (13-5) looks to rebound from his August loss in his debut as he takes on Spike Carlyle to open the main card of this weekend's UFC event. Alego typically finishes his opponents, with nine of his 13 career wins coming by finish. In his lone UFC bout, Algeo averaged 7.87 significant strikes per […]

Rex Burkhead Confirms Season-Ending Knee Injury

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) confirmed in a tweet on Tuesday that he'll miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in the Week 11 loss to the Texans. Burkhead was injured early in the third quarter and was carted off the field and ruled out almost immediately. The […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Sit Out Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was seen rehabbing on the side and not working during the period of practice open to the media on Tuesday. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was also not present. Murray tweaked his shoulder in last week's loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine for […]

Ravens Dealing With COVID-19 Outbreak

The Baltimore Ravens have had five players and four staffers test positive for COVID-19 this week, according to sources. The game on Thanksgiving on Thursday night against the division-rival Steelers is still on, but a source warned that more positives could mean postponing it. It's unclear if the game would be pushed back to the […]

Tom Brady Struggling With Deep Ball Of Late

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is 0-for-19 on deep passes 20-plus air yards down the field in his last four games with a 0.0 passer rating. From Weeks 1-7 on deep passes, Brady was 14-for-39 (35.9 completion percentage) with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 101.2. The future Hall of […]

Mark Andrews Looks To Keep Things Going On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been impressive throughout his previous two games, racking up 12 catches (16 targets) for 157 yards and a touchdown. While that type of production would get anyone excited, the 25-year-old will have a tough matchup against an effective Steelers Defense on Thanksgiving. Andrews didn't have a stellar outing […]

Gus Edwards Has Plenty Of Upside In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards will likely serve as the team's workhorse in Week 12 against a tough Steelers Defense. With J.K. Dobbins (illness) and Mark Ingram II (illness) both testing positive for COVID-19, the former Scarlet Knight's fantasy stock is the highest it's been all year. Although Justice Hill will be around the […]

Lamar Jackson A Risky Option On Thanksgiving

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may have his hands full against Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The third-year signal-caller had a rough go against the smothering Steelers Defense just a few weeks ago, finishing with 208 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions to go along with a miserable 46.4 completion percentage. The 23-year-old may put up […]

Denzel Ward To Miss A Few Weeks

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks with a calf strain, according to sources. It's a tough break for the Browns secondary and defense overall, but the good news is that they're facing the lowly Jaguars in Week 12. The loss of Ward for multiple weeks is a blow […]

Braves Sign Charlie Morton To One-Year Deal

The Atlanta Braves signed right-hander Charlie Morton to a one-year, $15 million deal on Tuesday. The 37-year-old has developed a reputation as a big-game pitcher in the postseason after finishing Game 7 of the 2017 World Series with the Astros and winning Game 7 of the American League Championship Series this year with the Rays. […]

Joe Burrow Has A Chance To Play In 2021

The Cincinnati Bengals and doctors were encouraged by what they saw in the imaging of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow's knee after he tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee in the Week 11 loss to the Washington Football Team. Burrow is obviously dealing with a multi-ligament injury, but they are optimistic about the […]

Josh Norman Activated From COVID-19 List

The Buffalo Bills activated cornerback Josh Norman from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Norman has missed time with a hamstring injury and from being on the COVID-19 list and has managed to play in just three games this year in his first season in Buffalo. The veteran cornerback hasn't played since Week 6 against Kansas […]

LaMelo Ball’s Fit With The Charlotte Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets certainly don’t have an encouraging track record with top-10 draft picks. Since drafting Kemba Walker ninth overall in 2011 – the franchise’s clear best draft pick ever – the team went on to select Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2012, 2nd overall), Cody Zeller (2013, 4th overall), Noah Vonleh (2014, 9th overall) and Frank Kaminsky […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones is coming off New York's bye week. More important, though, is the fact that Jones is coming off his best fantasy game of the season. The last time we saw Jones two weeks ago facing the Eagles, he put on a […]

Sterling Shepard (WR, NYG) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As is always the case, players coming off a bye week are always forgotten by fantasy GMs. Sigh... Enter Sterling Shepard, great New York Giant. Well, maybe not that great, but good enough as to have him rostered in more than half of […]

Robert Woods Nearly Flawless In Week 11

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods took advantage of his team's perfect game plan in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night en route to a third-place finish among wideouts for the week. He caught 12 of his 15 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown. After seeing his targets trend […]

Rob Gronkowski Puts Up Just 25 Yards Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had two receptions for 25 yards on six targets in Monday's loss to the Rams. After a terrific stretch of games just a few weeks ago, Gronk has declined a bit recently and now has below 30 yards in two of the past three games. Still, he has […]

Cooper Kupp Goes Big In Week 11

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp didn't have a great matchup in Week 11 on Monday night, but it didn't matter, as he went off for a big night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught 11 of his 13 targets for 145 yards. Unfortunately, he couldn't get into the end zone on the […]

Antonio Brown Sees 13 Targets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown finished Monday's loss to the Rams with eight receptions for 57 yards on 13 targets. It was certainly an encouraging performance for Brown, who led the team in every receiving category. In addition, his rapport with Tom Brady is proving to be very strong. Though he will have […]

Cam Akers Scores In Week 11

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers couldn't get much going in the running game on Monday night and he's been marginalized in the offense all season. However, in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he found his way into the end zone. He finished with five carries for 15 yards to go […]

Chris Godwin Finds End Zone Against Rams

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin compiled seven receptions for 53 yards and a score on 10 targets in Monday's loss to the Rams. The WR has seen at least six targets and has accumulated over 41 yards in all seven games he has played this season. His role is large and his production […]

Mike Evans Scores Touchdown In Week 11

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans finished with five receptions for 49 yards and a score on nine targets in Monday's loss to the Rams. Evans continues to remain a big part of this offense and though his yardage doesn't always reflect that, he has seen at least six targets and gotten three touchdowns […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Does Very Little Monday

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. has been trending down of late, and he crashed hard in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night. He finished with eight carries for five yards to go with two receptions for four yards. Henderson was a solid RB2 about a month ago, but […]

Leonard Fournette Musters 17 Yards Monday Night

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette had seven carries for 17 yards and a score and one reception for nine yards on four targets in Week 11. Fournette continues to play behind Ronald Jones II and now has 16 rushes for 36 yards in the past three games total. Fournette should not be considered […]

Ronald Jones II Struggles In Week 11

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II finished with 10 carries for 24 yards in the loss to the Rams on Monday. Jones fell flat after a 192-yard performance last week but ended up with more carries than Leonard Fournette on the bright side. It seems Jones will remain the workhorse back going forward, […]

Jared Goff Lights It Up In Week 11

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff saw a terrible matchup in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, but he shrugged it off in a big way. He finished the game 39 of 51 for 376 yards to go with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He finished as the QB4 on the week […]

Tom Brady Tosses For 216 Yards Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 26-for-48 for 216 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Week 11. Brady struggled most of the game against a powerful Rams Defense and thus had a bit of an off-day. Nevertheless, the QB should remain in the low-end QB1 tier going forward as he has also had […]

Mike Soroka Resumes Throwing

Atlanta Braves right-hander Mike Soroka (Achilles) has resumed throwing nearly four months after he had surgery to fix a torn right Achilles. The 23-year-old suffered the injury on Aug. 3 against the Mets and had surgery several days later. In 2019, Soroka finished sixth in the National League Cy Young race and second in the […]

Rays Open To Trading Blake Snell

The Tampa Bay Rays have told other teams that they are open to the idea of trading starting pitcher Blake Snell, a former Cy Young winner, according to multiple sources. Tampa isn't actively shopping the left-hander, who has three years and $39 million left on his five-year, $50 million extension, but trading the 27-year-old represents […]
