Tua Tagovailoa Inactive For Week 12

As expected, Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets and will potentially miss more time as well. Tagovailoa is 3-1 as a starter, but has struggled at times to move the ball. Ryan Fitzpatrick slides into the starting role this week and should upgrade this offense's fantasy upside […]

Kendall Hinton Officially Elevated To Active Roster

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton has officially been elevated to the team's active roster and is set to start at quarterback on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. A quarterback for part of his time at Wake Forest, Hinton isn't someone you should look to play at quarterback this week, but on platforms where […]

Tua Tagovailoa Could Miss Multiple Games

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) is not expected to start in Week 12, though there's nothing broken in his injured thumb. Tagovailoa jammed his thumb against a helmet during practice, but it appears that he avoided the worst, as he is dealing with swelling and weakness in the thumb. However, the rookie could miss […]

In a week that was consumed by the Taysom Hill debate, Week 11 fantasy scoring found somewhat a bit of normalcy as compared to previous weeks.

Philip Rivers Expected To Be A Go On Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) is expected to suit up for Sunday's pivotal divisional matchup with the Titans. Rivers was listed as questionable after Friday's practice, though head coach Frank Reich indicated it was a good session for the veteran quarterback. With Rivers close to full strength, the Colts may have to rely on […]

Jalen Hurts To See Increased Playing Time

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to see more playing time on Monday night against the Seahawks. Carson Wentz is still the Eagles' starter- though they intend to use Hurts for plays at a time in an attempt to spark an offense that ranks 26th in yards and 24th in points scored. It's anyone's […]

Ravens-Steelers Game Still On For Tuesday

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are still expected to take the field on Tuesday for their Week 12 game. Twice postponed already due to the number of positive COVID-19 tests, the status of the game was very much in doubt. However, with no new positive tests on Saturday, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the […]

Kendall Hinton Will Likely See QB Work Over Royce Freeman

That's a weird headline, huh? The entire Denver Broncos quarterback unit is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Saints. There was speculation running back Royce Freeman would be the emergency quarterback, but it looks like it will be practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback at Wake […]

Mike Glennon Is Not Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon will be starting against Cleveland in Week 12, but he shouldn't be starting in your fantasy football lineup. His top wide receiver, D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) is out, and Glennon hasn't started an NFL game since 2017, when he threw four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games. Glennon might […]

Patrick Mahomes Doesn't Have Greatest Week 12 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces a Tampa Bay defense that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this week. It's not the greatest matchup for Mahomes, but that doesn't matter a ton for fantasy managers. He has 348 or more yards in three consecutive appearances. He's a clear QB1 play every […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 12) - Targets and Avoids

The referees have gotten out of hand. It seems like every single play there's a defensive holding, illegal contact, or pass interference. Even if it's third-and-20 and the ball is thrown to the right side of the field, but a hold is called on the left side, that gives the offense a first down. It's […]

49ers Will Have To Find New Short-Term Home Facility

The San Francisco 49ers practice and play their home games in Santa Clara County in California, which is problematic in light of the decree that came down Saturday that does not allow college or professional sports teams to practice or play contact sports over the next three weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. […]

Drew Lock, Broncos QBs Absent From Saturday’s Practice

The Denver Broncos could have an extremely unique scenario on their hands for Sunday's game against New Orleans. After quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles -- the three active quarterbacks the team has under contract -- were all sent home from the team […]

Patriots Put Isaiah Wynn On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots will place starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn (knee) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a league source. The Patriots will be without him for at least the next three games as a result. Wynn injured his knee late in the fourth quarter of the Week 11 loss to the Texans. […]

Lions Fire Matt Patricia, Bob Quinn

The Detroit Lions fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn on Saturday. It comes after the Lions lost to the Texans on Thanksgiving on Thursday by a score of 41-25 to fall to 4-7 on the season and in last place in the NFC North. Patricia's three-year tenure with the team didn't […]

Fantasy Football Rookies to Watch in Week 12

James Robinson emerged from a murky Jacksonville backfield to become the team's lead back, and he is now the RB4 on the season in PPR leagues. Justin Herbert has risen to weekly fantasy starter status, as he has put up the eighth-most fantasy points among all QBs. Justin Jefferson has had four 100-yard performances already, […]

Saints To Be Without Terron Armstead, Andrus Peat

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead and left guard Andrus Peat (concussion) will not play in Week 12 against the Broncos. Armstead tested positive for COVID-19, according to sources. This probably would've had more of an effect on pocket quarterback Drew Brees, but this is bad news regardless for the Saints offensive […]

Tua Tagovailoa Downgraded To Doubtful

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Week 12 against the Jets. It will be veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick getting the start on Sunday. Tagovailoa jammed his thumb against a helmet in practice on Wednesday and has been limited this week. The Dolphins just don't want to take […]

Justin Herbert A Strong QB1 Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert gets a favorable matchup in Week 12 against the Bills. Buffalo has surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers and has allowed a QB1 finish in each of their last two contests. Herbert, fantasy football's QB7 this year, has thrown for at least 250 yards and […]
