Todd Gurley II A Low-End RB3 Against Buccaneers

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II has been struggling since his return to the field two weeks ago. The former Ram has failed to exceed 20 rushing yards in back-to-back games and gets another tough matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 15. While not the immovable object they were earlier in the year, Tampa […]

Jimmy Graham, Khalil Mack Questionable Against Vikings

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham (hip) and outside linebacker Khalil Mack (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Vikings. Graham and Mack were both limited in practice on Friday, giving them a good shot to suit up. Even if Graham is active, he's an extremely unattractive touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2. Cole […]

Matt Ryan Should Be Avoided In Week 15

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets an easier matchup on paper against the Buccaneers in Week 15. Tampa Bay's defense was stout against the pass earlier in the year but has slipped up recently, as they've allowed the eighth-most passing yards in the last four weeks. Despite their recent vulnerabilities, Ryan is hard to trust […]

Austin Hooper, David Njoku Questionable

Cleveland Browns tight ends Austin Hooper (neck) and David Njoku (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Cornerbacks Denzel Ward (calf) and Kevin Johnson (groin) are also questionable. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Ward and Hooper to play. Even though Hooper should be active, he's not a […]

Wyatt Teller Ruled Out For Sunday Night

Cleveland Browns offensive guard Wyatt Teller (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Teller is "week-to-week," so there's no guarantee he'll be back for Week 16. Teller's absence this weekend will be a downgrade to Cleveland's rushing attack, but Nick Chubb remains […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Drawing Plenty Of Interest

Free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is drawing interest from the Phillies, Cubs and Blue Jays, among other teams. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2020 season in which he posted a 118 OPS+, his best mark since 2016. The Red Sox also remain interested in re-signing Bradley despite recently adding outfielder Hunter Renfroe. "The door […]

Padres Interested In Sonny Gray

The San Diego Padres are looking for another starting pitcher and have interest in Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray. Mike Clevinger (elbow) is set to miss all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. San Diego's payroll in 2021 will likely be lower than last season's non-prorated Opening Day mark of around $150 […]

Trevor Bauer Too Expensive For The Reds

Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is too expensive for the Cincinnati Reds, so he won't be returning to the team in 2021 and beyond. Bauer's National League Cy Young season in 2020 helped the team end their six-year playoff drought, however. The right-hander declined the team's $18.9 million qualifying offer in November, assuring that the […]

Daniel Jones, Evan Engram Questionable

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) and tight end Evan Engram (calf) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Browns. Jones has been extremely limited the last couple days and could be a game-time decision against Cleveland after tweaking his ankle in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals. The second-year […]

Matt Barnes Penciled In As Red Sox Closer

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that relief pitcher Matt Barnes is currently penciled in as the team's closer for the 2021 season. The 30-year-old right-hander had nine saves in 13 tries last year, with most of them coming after the club traded Brandon Workman to the Phillies. "If the season started tomorrow and […]

Red Sox Expect A Better J.D. Martinez In 2021

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora thinks outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez will have a much better season in 2021. Martinez was fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2018 after he hit 43 home runs and led the league with 130 RBI while helping the Red Sox to a franchise-record 108 wins and a […]

Brewers Confident Christian Yelich Will Bounce Back

Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell is confident that former MVP outfielder Christian Yelich's 2020 hitting struggles won't carry over into the 2021 season. Yelich won consecutive National League batting titles in 2018 and 2019 in his first two years with the team, but he batted just .205 with 12 home runs and 22 RBI in […]

Denzel Mims A Low-End PPR Option

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has been a popular option in the passing game over the last few weeks. He has seen 36 targets since making his NFL debut in Week 7. Sadly, Mims was unable to play last week, but is expected to suit up versus the Los Angeles Rams in Week […]

Brent Honeywell Jr. Has Another Surgery

Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect Brent Honeywell Jr. (elbow) had another right elbow surgery on Wednesday, but the team said it was a minor surgery and that it shouldn't impact Honeywell's availability for the 2021 season. The 25-year-old has had four surgeries on his right elbow since he last pitched in September of 2017 at […]

Breshad Perriman A Risky Option Versus Rams

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman has been basically only useful in PPR formats all season long. The Jets do frequently throw the ball his way, but he often times fails to capitalize on his opportunities. Jamison Crowder (hamstring) is listed as questionable heading into this contest. Perriman might gain a little value, assuming […]

Michael Wacha Agrees With Rays

The Tampa Bay Rays signed right-hander Michael Wacha to a one-year, $3 million deal on Friday. Wacha will help fill the void left by the departure of right-handed veteran starter Charlie Morton. Wacha went 1-4 with a 6.62 ERA in eight outings (seven starts) for the Mets in the shortened 2020 season. The 29-year-old won […]

Jamison Crowder A Possible WR3 In Week 15

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is currently listed as questionable for the Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. However, it sounds like Crowder is trending in the right direction for this game. His production has quickly fallen since the Jets receivers got healthy. Nonetheless, Crowder should remain a decent WR3 […]

Josh Adams Can Continue To Be Ignored

New York Jets running back Josh Adams has seen 14 carries over the last two games. Sadly, he won't have much fantasy value with Frank Gore and Ty Johnson getting touches as well. Adams did have a nice outing in Week 13, but it's unlikely he does much of anything against the Los Angeles Rams […]

Alex Smith Ruled Out Against Seattle

The Washington Football Team has ruled out quarterback Alex Smith (calf) for Week 15 against the Seahawks. Dwayne Haskins, who opened the year as the starter under center, will be back in this Sunday. Washington was holding out hope that the veteran Smith could play this weekend despite not really practicing at all this week, […]

Ty Johnson A Shaky Option In Week 15

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson had an excellent 104-yard performance in Week 13, but fizzled out after that. Veteran running back Frank Gore is reportedly going to remain the lead back through the rest of the season. Sadly, head coach Adam Gase is going to do everything in his power to make sure […]

Frank Gore Has Tough Matchup Versus Rams

New York Jets running back Frank Gore is going to continue getting touches despite struggling on the ground lately. Head coach Adam Gase is going to stick with Gore as they ride the tank train to the No. 1 overall pick. It's highly unlikely that Gore does anything productive versus the Los Angeles Rams in […]

Sam Darnold A Borderline Unusable Option In Week 15

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has a total of five touchdown passes on the season, which should be enough to show he's heavily struggled. To be fair, Darnold has not been given much talent to work with this season. Nonetheless, Darnold has look awful under center most weeks and that will likely be the […]

Jamison Crowder Questionable Against Rams

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase said that wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) will be limited in practice on Friday and will be questionable for Week 15 against the Rams. The fact that Crowder was limited in practice this week gives him a decent shot at playing on Sunday, but he's also been held […]

Darius Slay Still In Concussion Protocol

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol. It's never a good sign when a player remains in the concussion protocol late in the week, so Slay should be considered highly questionable to play in Week 15 against the Cardinals. This is notable for Philly's […]

No Practice For Matthew Stafford Friday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) missed his third day of practice this week on Friday. "He's feeling better, but we're gonna see where that goes," head coach Darrell Bevell said. Bevell said earlier this week that Stafford won't need to practice to play in Week 15 against the Titans, so there's still a chance […]

Kenny Golladay Could Be Shut Down

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) really wants to come back, but they're at the point where they may need to shut him down for the rest of the 2020 season with just three games left, including Week 15. Golladay said he's dealing with a "muscle strain" […]

Alex Smith Doesn't Do Much Friday

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) wasn't able to do much of anything in practice on Friday, which isn't a great sign for his availability in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Smith's final designation has yet to be announced, but he might be lucky to receive a questionable tag at this point after missing […]

Donovan Smith Put On COVID-19 List, Ryan Succop Activated

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed left tackle Donovan Smith on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and removed kicker Ryan Succop, punter Bradley Pinion and long snapper Zach Triner from the list in corresponding moves. Smith will now be unavailable to play in Week 15 against the Falcons, which is bad news for quarterback Tom Brady. […]
