Ke'Shawn Vaughn Explodes For Long Run

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ke'Shawn Vaughn led the team in rushing with seven carries for 70 yards and a touchdown against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. However, this game wasn't as impressive as the box score suggests. The bulk of Vaughn's production came on one 55 yard rush in which the Panthers defense... Read More

Ronald Jones II Receives Full Workload

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II had 20 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown as well as two receptions for 16 yards against the Carolina Panthers. The Buccaneers primarily ran in this game as they took a quick lead and didn't push their depleted passing game, so the former second round pick... Read More

Tom Brady Quiet In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 18-for-30 for 232 yards with only one touchdown and no interceptions against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. Brady didn't need to do much, which is always a risk for his fantasy value, but his minimal output shouldn't be concerning to fantasy managers. It's easy to point to... Read More

Josh Jacobs Practices In Full

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) practiced in full on Thursday and will be active in his Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Jacobs has been unspectacular this season, but he remains a serviceable RB2 for most fantasy teams. However, fantasy managers shouldn't feel obligated to start Jacobs over an interesting waiver... Read More

Darren Waller Misses Another Practice, Unlikely To Play

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) missed another practice on Thursday and seems unlikely to play in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. Since his stellar Week 1 performance, Waller's season has gone downhill. The 29-year-old seems to be declining and has struggled with injuries, so fantasy managers may want to consider... Read More

Tyler Lockett Activated From COVID List

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (illness) was activated off the COVID-19 reserve and will be active in his Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears. In Week 15, with Lockett out, D.K. Metcalf amassed 12 targets but was still inefficient with only six receptions for 52 yards. Since returning from his injury, Russell Wilson... Read More

Dalvin Cook Tests Positive For COVID-19, Out 10 Days

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 and is unvaccinated, which means he will be out a minimum of 10 days. Regardless of how many negative tests Cook can gather, the NFL's protocols state that he may not return for this 10-day period, so he will miss his Week 16 against... Read More

Antonio Brown Logs Limited Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) had a limited practice on Thursday. Brown hasn't played since Week 6 due to this ankle injury and a suspension, but he started the season so well that he can be started if he's active against the Carolina Panthers this week. Additionally, wide receiver Chris Godwin's (knee)... Read More

Jalen Hurts Practices In Full

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) practiced in full on Sunday, so it seems like he'll start on Tuesday against the Washington Football Team. Although Washington's cumulative stats appear to be extremely favorable for opposing offenses, they have played well in the last several weeks. Inversely, Hurts' production has dropped off significantly since the beginning... Read More

Quez Watkins Activated From COVID-19 Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (illness) was activated from the COVID-19 reserve for his Week 15 matchup against the Washington Football Team. Watkins has had a couple of nice games this season, but he shouldn't be started in any fantasy leagues. However, this does extinguish some of wide receiver DeVonta Smith's upside. Still, Smith... Read More

Travis Homer, Others Added To COVID-19 List

Seattle Seahawks running back Travis Homer (illness) was added to the COVID-19 reserve along with cornerback D.J. Reed, tackle Brandon Shell, edge Kerry Hyder Jr., and a couple of practice squad players. Now, with running back Alex Collins previously on the COVID list, Rashaad Penny will have to split the backfield with previous fourth-stringer DeeJay... Read More

Sterling Shepard Tears Achilles

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (Achilles) tore his Achilles on a non-contact injury in his matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Shepard started the season really well with at least nine targets and 90 yards in each of his first two games. However, since then, his season has been completely derailed by injuries. Now,... Read More

Case Keenum Tests Positive For COVID-19

Cleveland Browns quarterback Case Keenum tested positive for COVID-19, making him doubtful to play in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders. In addition to starter Baker Mayfield (illness) also testing positive, the Browns are down to their third-stringer Nick Mullens. Fortunately, Mullens is probably among the best third string quarterbacks in the league, but this... Read More

Josh Allen Limited Again On Thursday

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) was limited again on Thursday. Allen injured his foot in his Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but managed to stage a comeback nevertheless. Given his tremendous effort last week, although his foot may have swollen or the injury may have gotten worse in some other way,... Read More

James Robinson To Be Given Starter’s Workload

Jacksonville Jaguars interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that running back James Robinson "is our starting running back and will be played as such." For Robinson's fantasy managers, for the first time in a long time, this is certainly positive news. It's unclear why, but former head coach Urban Meyer's usage of Robinson in favor... Read More

Marquise Brown Misses Practice With Non-COVID Illness

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) missed practice with a non-COVID illness. These types of absences are notoriously difficult to interpret, but it's better that Brown may have a cold than have an injury concerningly pop up on the injury report out of nowhere. It's impossible to know the severity of Brown's illness, so... Read More

Marquise Brown Disappoints Again

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown caught 5 passes for 41 yards and no touchdowns against the Cleveland Browns. Brown hasn't scored more than 10 fantasy points in 0.5 PPR leagues since Week 9, and quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missing time wouldn't do him any favors. Jackson's injury status still remains up in the air,... Read More

Mark Andrews Racks Up 115 Yards

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews was extremely reliable with 11 receptions for 115 yards and a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns. With Lamar Jackson (ankle) leaving the game early with a sprained ankle, backup Tyler Huntley looked to his tight end often, which resulted in a big stat line. Still, even if Huntley starts... Read More

Devonta Freeman Has Another Good Game

Baltimore Ravens running back Devonta Freeman racked up 64 rushing yards on just 13 carries with five receptions for eight yards against the Cleveland Browns. However, the headline of this game was quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) spraining his ankle. This is certainly not good news for Freeman, but backup Tyler Huntley played adequately enough for... Read More

Tyler Huntley Plays Well In Replacement

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley 27-for-38 for 270 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions with 45 rushing yards against the Cleveland Browns. It's no secret that Huntley isn't a great quarterback, but for fantasy, he has a high enough of a rushing floor that he could be fantasy relevant if starter Lamar Jackson (ankle) misses... Read More

Lamar Jackson Has Ankle Sprain

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) sprained his ankle at the beginning of his game against the Cleveland Browns. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that the superstar will undergo tests to determine the severity, so the timetable of this injury remains fairly ambiguous. However, Jackson seemed to be in a lot of pain when he... Read More

Elijah Mitchell Misses Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (head, knee) missed another practice on Thursday. The rookie's chances of playing against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14 seem bleak, so fantasy managers should find a replacement. With that being said, it appears that Mitchell will soon return to action, so a long-term fix isn't necessary. Headlining... Read More

Dalvin Cook To “Maintain Regular Workload”

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) will play with a shoulder harness in his Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. Also, according to Adam Schefter, "expectations are that Cook maintains his regular workload." Furthermore, Cook played with a similar harness after his last shoulder injury and proceeded to manage 31... Read More

Zach Cunningham Claimed By Titans

Former Houston Texans linebacker Zach Cunningham was claimed by the Tennessee Titans after being cut recently. Cunningham's fallout with the Texans seemed to do more so with his locker room presence than his on-field performance, however. Although the 26-year-old hasn't played as well as he did last year when he led the league in tackles,... Read More

Ty Montgomery Placed On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints running back Ty Montgomery (illness) was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday because of a positive test. Regardless of if he's vaccinated or not, Montgomery will likely miss his Week 14 matchup against the New York Jets. With running backs Alvin Kamara (knee) returning from injury this week, Montgomery was becoming... Read More

Vikings Plan To Play Dalvin Cook Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) will most likely be active for his Week 14 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. Assuming he's active, it still remains uncertain as to how much the 26-year-old will play, especially since backup Alexander Mattison has done such a stellar job in filling in. Still, being... Read More

Mike Glennon Suffers Concussion

New York Giants quarterback Mike Glennon (head) suffered a concussion in his Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Glennon was replacing quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) who is expected to miss multiple weeks with his own injury, making Jake Fromm the next man up. Fromm was signed this past week off of the Buffalo Bills'... Read More

Adam Thielen Sprains His Ankle

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) suffered a sprained ankle, according to head coach Mike Zimmer, in his Week 13 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Thielen will most likely miss at least one week, especially now that the Vikings are falling out of playoff contention. In Thielen's absence, wide receiver Justin Jefferson surged for... Read More

Kenyan Drake Carted Off

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake (leg) was carted off of the field after his leg was folded beneath a defender. This injury did not look good, and Drake could be out for an extended period. If Drake is out for a while, Josh Jacobs would receive a sizable upgrade as he would collect... Read More

Jalen Hurts To Remain The Starter

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) will remain the team's starter, but that he's not necessarily sure when that will be. After backup Gardner Minshew went 20-for-25 for 242 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions, Hurts' role could have been in jeopardy. However, despite Sirianni's confidence boost, Minshew's strong... Read More
