Three Important Trends to Know for Late-Season Fantasy Football

The second half of the fantasy football season has been underway for a few weeks now and it is pertinent that we note some trends that can determine where/how to perceive certain players. Teams tend to alternate usage of certain guys throughout the season as teams either hit a skid or stride. Rookies often see […]

Zack Martin, Cameron Erving Out Multiple Weeks

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that offensive tackles Zack Martin (calf) and Cameron Erving (knee) will be out for multiple weeks after suffering injuries in the Thanksgiving loss to the Washington Football Team on Thursday. Martin was ruled out quickly on Thursday after leaving the game, and his loss will be a huge […]

Tua Tagovailoa Should Rebound Versus Jets

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) has been limited during practice this week, but is expected to suit up for the Week 12 matchup versus the New York Jets. Tagovailoa was horrendous against the Denver Broncos last week and was benched in favor of Ryan Fitzpatrick in the fourth quarter. However, Tagovailoa has a great […]

Daniel Jones A Low-End Streaming Option Versus Bengals

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones has been playing better recently and will look to carry that momentum into a date with the Cincinnati Bengals. Jones has thrown for 200-plus yards in three straight games after eclipsing the 200-yard mark just three times total in his first six games. Jones also has played turnover-free football […]

Lane Johnson Says His Season Is Over

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson (ankle) said that his 2020 season is over after dealing with a serious ankle issue. Although the Eagles offensive line has been an excellent run-blocking unit this year, injuries are starting to take a toll on them. It was announced earlier on Friday that the team will also move […]

Kyler Murray Expected To Play In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 12 against the Patriots. Murray dealt with a shoulder issue in the Week 11 loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine to go this Sunday. The second-year signal-caller said earlier in […]

Josh Allen Has Favorable Matchup Against Chargers

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has looked better over the last two games after going through a somewhat mid-season slump. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12. A secondary that has allowed 17 passing touchdowns over their last seven games. The Chargers struggle to contain the air attack and […]

Sam Darnold To Start Against Dolphins

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will practice in full on Friday for the second straight day and will start in Week 12 against the division-rival Dolphins "unless something changes today, which I don't anticipate," head coach Adam Gase said. Wide receivers Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and rookie Denzel Mims will all be active […]

Jason Peters Moving To Right Guard

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Peters (toe) will be moving to right guard and Jordan Mailata will be moving back to left tackle for the team's Week 12 game against the Seahawks on Monday night, according to sources. Peters has been giving it his all but has been playing through turf toe on his point […]

Cody Ford Out For The Season

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Cody Ford (knee) is out for the rest of the season, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Ford suffered a torn meniscus in practice earlier this week and is set for surgery that will take three to four months of rehab, according to a source. He should make a full recovery […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 Against Jaguars

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will be looking to break a streak of three straight games without a touchdown pass when he travels to Florida to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. The Jaguars and their poor defense represent a plus matchup for the entire Cleveland offense, but Mayfield's upside could be capped […]

Alex Smith Throws For 149 Yards On Thanksgiving

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith completed 19 passes on 26 attempts for 149 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a win over the Cowboys. Smith played well in this game with Washington putting up 41 points, but it didn't translate into a ton of fantasy points as Antonio Gibson ran the ball […]

Lamar Jackson Tests Positive For COVID-19

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has tested positive for COVID-19. The news comes after the Thanksgiving matchup against the Steelers was moved to Sunday due to J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II (among others) also testing positive for the virus. With Jackson now out of the mix for the next few weeks, the team will […]

Andy Dalton Struggles Behind An Injured Line

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton struggled behind an injured offensive line in a 41-16 loss to the Washington Football Team. On the first Cowboys drive of the game, both Zack Martin (calf) and Cam Erving (knee) limped off the field and into the locker room. Dalton ended up completing 25 of his 35 passes for […]

Zack Martin Ruled Out For Rest Of Thanksgiving Game

Dallas Cowboys tackle Zack Martin (calf) left Thursday's game against Washington with what appeared to be a calf injury. He has been ruled out already for the remainder of the game. ESPN's Evan Kaplan points out that in the only full game Martin missed this year, Dallas scored three points and allowed six sacks. If […]

Deshaun Watson Feasts on Thanksgiving Against Lions

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 17 of 25 passes for 318 passing yards with four scores and added 24 rushing yards in a 41-25 win over the Lions on Thanksgiving. Watson had it all working today, though his deep-ball connection with Will Fuller V stole the show, as the two hooked up for two […]

Matthew Stafford Disappoints In Thanksgiving Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford completed 28 of 42 passes for 295 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Lions 41-25 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving. The Lions offense simply is not the same without star receiver Kenny Golladay (hip), and a strong first half was wasted by stagnant offensive play in the second […]

Sam Darnold Practices In Full Thursday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday, which is a sign he's heading toward a return in Week 12 against the Dolphins. Darnold was limited on Wednesday and appears to be on track to play on Sunday after missing the team's last two games in Weeks 9 and 11. The […]

Mitchell Trubisky Practices, Nick Foles Doesn't

For the second straight day, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday, while Nick Foles (hip) did not practice. Head coach Matt Nagy hinted on Wednesday that Trubisky was on track to start in Week 12 against the division-rival Packers, and that is even closer to happening with Foles still unable […]

A.Q. Shipley May Have Career-Ending Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers center A.Q. Shipley (neck), who has been filling in as a starter the last two weeks, may be dealing with a career-ending neck injury, according to head coach Bruce Arians. Shipley left the Monday night loss to the Rams in the fourth quarter. It's bad news for a Tampa offensive line that […]

Jeff Driskel Being Put On COVID-19 List

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that backup quarterback Jeff Driskel will be put on the team's Reserve/COVID-19 list. It's unclear if Driskel actually tested positive for the virus, but either way, he's unlikely to be active as a backup in Week 12 against the Saints. Even if Driskel were active on Sunday, he'd […]

Dolphins Not Worried About Tua Tagovailoa's Injury

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said he's not worried about the injury that rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) suffered in practice on Wednesday. Tagovailoa jammed his left thumb in practice. "He got banged up a little bit. He's a tough kid. He's going to do everything he can from a treatment standpoint. We'll see. […]

Washington Wants Alex Smith Back In 2021

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera and his staff want quarterback Alex Smith back for the 2021 season, according to sources. Smith made an incredible comeback from a broken fibula and tibia and 17 surgeries due to an infection that left him barely able to walk. The veteran QB hasn't said whether he wants […]
