Larry Fitzgerald Remains On COVID/Reserve List

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (COVID) will remain on the COVID-19/Reserve List and miss his second straight game in Week 13. The Cardinals face a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, who have one of the league's top pass defenses. With Fitzgerald out, Christian Kirk and Andy Isabella should see […]

Eagles Defense Will Have Darius Slay In Week 13

The Eagles Defense will have star cornerback Darius Slay (calf) on the field in their Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers. Slay was limited in practice this past week with a calf injury and was questionable going into Sunday. Slay will be matched up against Packers star Davante Adams throughout much of the […]

James Harden Not At Houston's First Practice

Houston Rockets guard James Harden was not present at the team's first practice, though head coach Stephen Silas says Harden will take place in an individual workout tonight. With trade rumors swirling around the former MVP, anything like this is going to raise some eyes, though Houston has seemed committed to beginning the season with […]

Sunday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Broncos vs. Chiefs

Sunday Night Football has arrived and we get treated to an old fashioned AFC West showdown featuring the Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs. A win for the Broncos would keep their playoff hopes alive while a win for Kansas City would keep them within one game of the unbeaten Pittsburgh Steelers for the […]

Daniel Jones Officially Inactive For Week 13

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Jones was doubtful ahead of the game, so fantasy managers should have already been preparing for Colt McCoy to get the start against a Seahawks Defense that has struggled in 2020. Is it bad enough to justify starting […]

Tyler Boyd Ejected

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has been ejected from Sunday's game against the Dolphins after a small scuffle with Dolphins defensive back Xavien Howard, who was also ejected. Boyd ends the game with just one reception, but that one went for a 72-yard touchdown. Cincinnati's offense will be in even more dire straits in […]

Frank Gore Being Evaluated For Concussion

New York Jets running back Frank Gore has left the game in the first quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. If Gore is unable to return, Ty Johnson will serve as the lead back for the Jets, with Josh Adams getting some run as well. Gore had one carry for two yards before exiting.

Eric Kendricks Ruled Out For Vikings Defense

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) was active for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the talented defender has already been ruled out for the remainder of the game. It's a big loss for Minnesota and a boost to the Jaguars, who've already found the end zone once in the early going.

Irv Smith Jr. Out For Week 13

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (back) will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. In what should be a high-scoring contest, Kyle Rudolph will serve as the team's main tight end. Considering Rudolph was targeted eight times last week, we should consider the veteran a high-end TE2 option this […]

Chris Boswell Doubtful For Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (hip) has been downgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Washington Football Team. 18-for-19 on field goal attempts this season, Boswell's absence would be bad news for the Steelers and for fantasy managers who've been relying on Boswell to be their weekly starter. It's unclear what the plan will […]

Gardner Minshew II Active, But Not Starter

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is back, but he isn't stepping into the starting role. Mike Glennon will start at quarterback against the Vikings, a defense that's susceptible to the pass. Minshew not returning to the starting role is a bad sign for his NFL future and seems to confirm that the Jaguars […]

Allen Robinson II, Darnell Mooney Active

The Chicago Bears will have their top two receivers on Sunday against the Lions, with both Allen Robinson II (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) active after missing part/all of practice on Friday. It appears neither injury was serious. Robinson has a great matchup that makes him a WR1/2 option, while Mooney has deep league appeal […]

D'Andre Swift Inactive Against Chicago

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (illness) is inactive for Week 13 against the Chicago Bears. Not a surprise, as Swift was listed as doubtful. Swift hasn't played since Week 10. Adrian Peterson will once again serve as the lead back in Detroit and is coming off a two-touchdown game last week. He's a decent […]

Isaiah Coulter Inactive For Week 13

Houston Texans wide receiver Isaiah Coulter won't play in Week 13 against the Colts. A popular pick to see his first NFL action in place of the suspended Will Fuller V, it looks like someone out of Chad Hansen and Steven Mitchell will see snaps in three-receiver sets with Brandin Cooks and Keke Coutee. Neither […]

Salvon Ahmed Out For Week 13

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals. Myles Gaskin (knee) will play, and should see plenty of work this week, especially with Tua Tagovailoa starting at QB, which will lead to a more run-heavy game script for Miami. Consider Gaskin a strong RB2 option against a […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Start In Week 13

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is officially active for the Week 13 contest against the Bengals. He's expected to be the starter over Ryan Fitzpatrick. Tua's the future in Miami, but this offense does play better with Fitzpatrick under center. His return lowers the fantasy ceiling for the Miami pass catchers, and even in […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II Officially Active

The Atlanta Falcons will be close to full strength on Sunday against the Saints, with wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) both officially active. Both players missed Week 12. The Saints Defense is a tough one for the Falcons to deal with, and while Julio Jones has the talent […]

Mark Andrews Not Expected To Play Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (COVID-19) is not expected to play on Tuesday against the Cowboys. Andrews would have possibly been eligible to come off the COVID list on Tuesday, but it looks like that won't happen, pushing his return back to Week 14. Luke Willson will see plenty of time at tight end, […]

Panthers Have Two Positive COVID Tests

Two Carolina Panthers players have tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday morning, but because the team is on a Week 13 bye, the positives should not impact any games this week. It's also too early to speculate if this puts Carolina's Week 14 game against the Broncos in jeopardy, though it'll be important to monitor […]

Saints May Wait Until Chiefs Game To Play Drew Brees

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs) is progressing well in his attempt to return and could be activated off the IR soon, but Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that the team may wait until their Week 15 contest against the Chiefs to bring Brees back. The extra time could help ensure the […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 13

The Week 12 wide receiver matchups article was 50/50 but it did feature Tyreek Hill who finished as the No. 1 wide receiver on the week after registering one of the best fantasy football performances of all-time. DeVante Parker benefited from playing with Ryan Fitzpatrick and gained 119 yards off of 14 targets, finishing as WR-11  Justin Jefferson scored twice […]

Booms and Busts - Starts and Sits for Week 13 Lineups

It only took 12 weeks of action around the NFL, but the crap finally hit the fan. Between game postponements due to Covid, players being placed on reserve due to Covid, or just injuries in general, scoring for fantasy managers was affected. Throughout the season, we have been accustomed to seeing QB scoring fairly high […]

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Avoid - Week 13

With 13 weeks of data, the PPGA numbers on CB Matchup Chart are unlikely to change that much down the stretch. Atlanta is still an easy matchup for all receivers, while the Los Angeles Rams are the toughest. However, circumstances have changed in a few situations across the league. For example, Ugo Amadi is playing […]
