Raiders Defense Picks Up Daryl Worley

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent cornerback Daryl Worley on Wednesday. The veteran played in seven games for the Cowboys and one for the Bills this year and has 14 tackles and one pass defensed in four starts. The 25-year-old was a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2016. He spent two years there before […]

Joshua Kelley Has Fallen Off The Radar

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley (foot), cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (foot) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (back) all missed practice on Wednesday. Kelley has fallen off the fantasy radar and can't be trusted in a starting spot. He didn't see any playing time in the Week 13 blowout loss to the Patriots. Kelley […]

Jerry Jeudy Still On Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jeudy has been playing through a minor injury of late and has been awful for fantasy managers. We thought it would get a lot better after no catches on one target in the Kendall Hinton game, but it really didn't last […]

Brandin Cooks, Keke Coutee Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) and Keke Coutee (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Cooks was cleared of a concussion last week but finished the game with five catches for 65 yards in the loss to the Colts. He and Coutee are facing a tough pass defense, but Cooks is […]

James Robinson, Laviska Shenault Jr. Limited

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (knee) and rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (thumb) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should play in Week 14 against the Titans unless they suffer a setback. Robinson has been Jacksonville's MVP and workhorse, ranking third in the NFL in total touches behind Dalvin […]

Kyle Rudolph, Eric Kendricks Miss Practice

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) did not get on the practice field on Wednesday. Rudolph was injured in the Week 13 win over the Jaguars and whiffed on his only two targets. He could also join Irv Smith Jr. on the sidelines this weekend against the Buccaneers, which […]

Todd Gurley II Limited In Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II (knee) and defensive end Dante Fowler (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Gurley missed Week 12 and returned to run the ball just eight times for a season-low 16 yards in the loss to New Orleans. It was his second straight game with only eight carries, […]

Wil Lutz A Starting Option

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz is a solid starting option this week. Though he missed a field goal last week, Lutz is 20-for-23 on field-goal attempts and 41-for-41 on extra-point attempts on the season. The kicker's reliability is his greatest strength and his numbers show for it. The Eagles allow the 10th-most points to […]

Saints Defense A Strong Start In Week 14

The New Orleans Saints Defense is a strong play this week against the Eagles. This unit has been on fire recently and has recorded 12 total sacks in the past three games. They have also allowed 16 points or less in the last five games, including three games in which they allowed only single-digit points. […]

Julio Jones Absent From Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. It seems as though Jones is rarely healthy, but he usually plays through the pain. The All-Pro veteran had six catches for 94 yards in last week's loss to the Saints a week after missing a game. The 31-year-old gets […]

Tee Higgins Limited On Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) was limited in practice to begin the week on Wednesday. Higgins should be good to go for Week 14 against the Cowboys as long as he doesn't suffer some kind of late-week setback with his leg. The rookie was second on the team with 56 receiving yards […]

[…]

Deebo Samuel Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Samuel also missed Wednesday's practice last week before playing against the Bills in the Monday night loss. Unless he misses more practice time this week, fantasy managers should feel confident in him playing against the Washington Football Team in Week 14. In […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 14

Week 14 is the week fantasy football managers in leagues are in one of three situations:  They are in the first round of their playoffs, they are in the last week of their regular season fighting for a playoff spot, or their season is over and they are looking forward to fantasy basketball.

Mike Evans Limited In Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming off the team's bye week. He caught three of nine targets for 50 yards and two touchdowns back in Week 12 in the loss to the Chiefs. Evans isn't racking up a ton of yardage with quarterback Tom Brady this […]

Matthew Stafford Limited Once Again

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) was once again a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Stafford continues to show up on the injury report, but he's not in danger of missing game action. He's coming off his best performance of the season in the Week 13 win over the Bears, going 27-for-42 for a […]

Matt Gay Questionable Against Patriots

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night's game against the Patriots. Gay didn't pop up on the Week 14 injury report until Wednesday, so he could be a game-time decision. The 26-year-old is 5-for-7 on his field goals and has made all 10 […]

Cam Akers Taken Off Final Injury Report

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (shoulder) was a full practice participant on Wednesday and was taken off the final injury report for Thursday night against the Patriots. Akers had a season-high 21 carries for 72 rushing yards and his second touchdown of the season and second in as many weeks in the […]

Jared Cook A Risky Start

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a risky start this week against the Eagles. The TE had a modest week last week by getting three receptions for 28 yards and a score on five targets. Nevertheless, Cook only had one reception for six yards on five targets total in the three games prior […]

Emmanuel Sanders Doesn't Have Much Upside

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders should be considered nothing more than a low-end flex piece this week against Philadelphia. Sanders has been very inconsistent this season and has recorded single-digit yards in two of the past four games. Overall, though he is capable of great games, he is also capable of going cold […]

Michael Thomas A Low-End WR1 Against Eagles

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas continues to remain hobbled by an ankle injury. Nevertheless, there is no indication he is in jeopardy of missing this week's game and remains a great starting option. Even with Taysom Hill under center, the WR has gotten at least nine receptions, 11 targets, and 104 yards in […]

Latavius Murray An RB3 Against Eagles

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is an RB3/flex option for Week 14 against the Eagles. Murray managed only five carries for 17 yards last week but had posted at least 49 yards in the three games prior to that. Overall, the back has seen double-digit carries and gotten at least 47 rushing yards […]
