Ben Roethlisberger Expected To Play Against Washington

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knee) is expected to play Monday against the Washington Football Team as the Steelers look to remain undefeated. It appears that Roethlisberger's practice absences this week were more about getting the veteran QB some rest than about him potentially missing a week of action. Washington isn't a great matchup for […]

Week 13 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2020 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Week 12 saw some crazy high defensive point totals with Atlanta, Carolina, San Francisco, and Houston all scoring over 15 points. In fact, all of the top-10 units scored in double-figures, which is something I can't remember having happened in a while. The Raider's penchant for fumbles early in the season had me high on […]

Philip Rivers Will Likely Need Offseason Surgery

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is expected to play through his injury in Week 13- and for the remainder of the season- though it's serious enough that the veteran signal-caller will require offseason surgery. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport described the injury as a more serious version of turf toe, as it's officially a rupture […]

Kalen Ballage Expected To Suit Up Against Patriots

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Patriots. Ballage handled 20-plus touches in two games sans Austin Ekeler, though the latter returned with Ballage out last week and saw a monstrous, 25-touch workload. Ekeler is the obvious lead back in Los Angeles, though the team likely […]

James Conner Unlikely To Play Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner is eligible to come off of the league's reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday but he is still unlikely to play against the Washington Football Team on Monday evening, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Conner's expected absence means that the team will plug Benny Snell Jr. in as their lead back […]

Daniel Jones Not Expected To Play

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play on Sunday against the Seahawks. Jones is still recovering from a hamstring injury he sustained while scrambling during last week's game against the Bengals, though the team is optimistic about his Week 14 status. However, this means that Colt McCoy will get the […]

Jadeveon Clowney To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Tennessee Titans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (knee) had season-ending knee surgery on Wednesday to repair his left meniscus. The team originally thought that Clowney would be able to return after placing him on Injured Reserve though that will not be the case. It's a disappointing end to the season for the pass-rusher, who signed a […]

Drew Brees Eligible To Return In Week 14

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs, lung) could return in Week 14 against the Eagles. ESPN's Adam Schefter notes that Brees is improving from his injuries and was spotted throwing in practice. Brees is eligible to be activated as early as next week, though that doesn't necessarily mean he will play, as the Saints […]

Lamar Jackson Expected To Start Tuesday

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (COVID-19) is expected to start on Tuesday against the Cowboys. While Jackson hasn't officially been activated off the COVID/Reserve list, one would expect the move to happen at some point on Sunday. The star signal-caller missed last week's game after testing positive for the virus amidst a teamwide outbreak. He'll […]

Phillip Lindsay, Jerry Jeudy Expected To Play

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) are both expected to play against the Chiefs in Week 13. Both Lindsay and Jeudy were full participants at Friday's practice, indicating that they're very much on the right side of questionable. Lindsay has handled 25 touches over the past two weeks […]

Chiefs Hopeful Clyde Edwards-Helaire Will Play

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) has been dealing with the flu but is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Broncos. Edwards-Helaire didn't practice on Thursday or Friday, though the team made it clear that he doesn't need practice reps to play. The rookie back reportedly felt better late Saturday night […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Return In Week 13 As Starter

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is expected to be active and start against the Bengals in Week 13. Tagovailoa missed last week's contest after jamming his thumb against a helmet during practice, though he was back taking the first-team reps in the lead up to Sunday's game against Cincinnati. Tagovailoa is more game-manager than […]

Carlos Hyde Will Play Against Giants

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (toe) will play against the Giants in Week 13. Hyde had his reps managed during the week, though he was able to get a limited session in on Friday. The veteran back put up 95 scrimmage yards and one touchdown as the fill-in starter for Chris Carson back in […]

Julio Jones, Todd Gurley II Looking Good For Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) and running back Todd Gurley II (knee) are both looking good for the team's Week 13 matchup with the Saints. Both Jones and Gurley sat out last week's game, though their ability to put in limited sessions in Friday's practice had Atlanta optimistic for their chances of suiting […]

Allen Robinson, Darnell Mooney Expected To Play

Chicago Bears wide receivers Allen Robinson (knee) and Darnell Mooney (knee) are both expected to play in Sunday's game against the Lions. Robinson tweaked his knee during Friday's practice and was held out for the remainder of the session as a precaution. Mooney was held out from Friday's session altogether, though head coach Matt Nagy […]

Mitch Haniger Avoids Arbitration

The Seattle Mariners and outfielder Mitch Haniger avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed $3.01 million deal on Saturday, according to sources. Haniger slashed just .220/.314/.463 in 63 games while adding 15 home runs and 32 RBI in 2019 and hasn't played since June of that same season. The 29-year-old had a breakout […]

Gio Urshela Out Three Months After Elbow Surgery

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) underwent surgery on Friday to remove a bone chip from his right elbow and is expected to be out for three months. He'll likely miss around half of spring training, which is set to begin in mid-February. Urshela was placed on the 10-day injured list with a […]

Jets Release Chris Hogan

The New York Jets released wide receiver Chris Hogan on Saturday. The wideout had 14 catches for 118 yards in five games before he landed on the Injured Reserve in October with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 5. It's never a good sign when you're released by an 0-11 team, but Hogan's injury surely […]

Packers Place Corey Linsley On Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers center Corey Linsley (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday, meaning he'll have to sit out the next three games. In a corresponding move, the team elevated offensive guard Ben Braden from the practice squad to the active roster as a COVID-19 replacement. Tight end Dominique Dafney was also elevated from […]

Devonta Freeman Put On COVID-19 List

The New York Giants placed running back Devonta Freeman (ankle), who is already on Injured Reserve, on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Freeman was eligible to come off IR, but it looks like he'll miss some more time. The Giants haven't really missed him with Wayne Gallman stepping up as the lead back ahead of […]

Marquez Callaway Placed On Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Marquez Callaway (knee) suffered a minor knee sprain in the Week 12 win over the Broncos, but he'll be sidelined for at least the next three weeks after being placed on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins was also activated from IR. With Callaway sidelined, Deonte Harris […]
