Adonai Mitchell Could See More Opportunities In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has caught just one pass in four of the last five games. In the other contest, the 22-year-old caught six passes for 71 yards and it came in a game in which Michael Pittman Jr. was absent. Pittman is playing Sunday, however, Josh Downs (shoulder) will be absent which […]

Matt Gay A Reliable Kicker On Unreliable Offense In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts kicker Matt Gay has recorded at least two field goals in nine straight games, going 20-for-22 during that time with both misses coming from 50-plus yards out. The 30-year-old is 20-for-20 on extra points as well. Despite his recent stretch of success, Indy will take on the Patriots on the road this week […]

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Fantasy Play In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared in Week 11, not recording a single carry after the team quickly fell behind to the Broncos and abandoned the run. Fresh off their bye week, Week 13's matchup with the Chargers should be more competitive, however, it's hard to project what Allgeier's involvement will be as he's […]

Ray-Ray McCloud III A Low-End PPR Option In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III had a six-catch performance back in Week 11 before the team's bye, the third time this season that the 28-year-old has recorded six catches in a contest. While the yardage totals aren't typically very high for him, the veteran wideout has caught at least two balls in every […]

Kyle Pitts A TE2 In Tough Matchup Against Chargers

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has caught just one pass in two of the last three games. In Week 13, the 24-year-old will face a Chargers defense that gives up the 11th-fewest fantasy points to tight ends and, other than Travis Kelce who totaled 89 yards in Week 4, no other tight end has […]

Bijan Robinson A Mid-Range RB1 In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson ranks within the top 10 in fantasy scoring at the RB position and has a solid weekly floor given his heavy involvement in the passing game (45-359-1 in 11 games). The 22-year-old is coming off one of his lowest-output performances of the season back in Week 11 in which […]

Kirk Cousins Not A Preferred Option At QB In Week 13

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins has flopped in his last two starts, posting a 0:2 TD:INT in those games, although they came against some fairly good pass defenses in New Orleans and Denver. Week 13 brings a matchup against a Chargers pass defense that is middle-of-the-road based on fantasy points allowed to QBs, but has […]

Jonathan Taylor A Back-End RB1 In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor has had less than 60 yards rushing in three of his last four contests and bottomed out in the passing game last week, not having garnered even a single target. The 25-year-old will face the Patriots on Sunday, a defense that has been middle-of-the-pack against the run. While cold […]

Michael Pittman Jr. To Lead Indy Receiving Corps In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has had 15 targets and 11 catches over the last two weeks with Anthony Richardson under center, which is particularly impressive given Richardson's 53.4% completion rate during that time. Josh Downs had been the clear leader at the receiver position until two weeks ago, but now has eight […]

Anthony Richardson A QB2 With Some Upside In Week 13

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is coming off a Week 12 performance in which he completed less than 40 percent of his passes and has just a 47.1% completion rate on the year. Not only that, with just a 5:7 TD:INT in seven starts and missing Josh Downs, the 22-year-old won't instill managers with much […]

Adonai Mitchell Hauls In One Pass In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell caught one of his three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. The rookie wideout has a single catch in four of the last five games, with the other game where he caught more (six receptions) coming during Michael Pittman Jr.'s one-week hiatus. As the […]

Alec Pierce Limited To One Catch In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce garnered his usual looks on Sunday but turned his four targets into just one catch in the 24-6 loss to the Lions. The one catch was a nice 39-yard grab, and Anthony Richardson missed him badly on a wide-open throw early on in the contest for what would have […]

Josh Downs Not Productive In Week 12 Loss

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs was limited to just three catches for 27 yards in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions. Downs, who had been the Colts' most reliable pass catcher over the course of the season, tied Michael Pittman Jr. for a team-high seven targets, but couldn't translate it into production. Richardson completed […]

Jonathan Taylor A Non-Factor In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held to just 35 scoreless yards on 11 carries in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, and he was not targeted in the passing game. The former second-round pick hasn't really been involved in the passing game anyway, but with Anthony Richardson being reinserted under center, the mobile […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Leads Colts Receivers In Week 12 Loss

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. led the Indy receiving corps in Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Lions, tying Josh Downs with a team-high seven targets and turning it into six receptions for 96 yards. No other Colt receiver had more than three catches or 39 yards. It was an encouraging performance on a […]

Anthony Richardson Comes Up Empty In Week 12 Loss

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson reverted to his inefficient ways on Sunday in a 24-6 loss to the Lions. A week after completing 66.7% of his passes and accounting for three touchdowns (one pass, two rush), the 22-year-old completed just 11 of 28 pass attempts (39.3%) for 172 yards and no TDs. He added 10 […]

Indianapolis Defense Not A Preferred Option In Week 12

The Indianapolis Colts will play a home game this weekend, but for fantasy managers considering using the Indy defense this week, it might be best to see what other options are available for streaming on the waiver wire. The Colts' Week 12 opponent will be the Detroit Lions, an offense that has put up the […]

Adonai Mitchell A Risky Fantasy Play In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Adonai Mitchell made a splash in Week 10 without Michael Pittman Jr. (six catches, 71 yards) but reverted to his status as the No. 4 receiver in Week 11 (one catch, 33 yards) and will assume that role again in Week 12 with a fully healthy receiving corps. The 22-year-old has […]

Alec Pierce Brings Big-Play Ability Into Week 12 Matchup With Lions

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce owns the largest percentage of his team's air yards (28.15%), but not only that, he leads the entire NFL in average depth of target (21.25) -- and it isn't even close. The downside for him is that he's received just four targets or less in eight of 11 contests. […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Re-Enters WR3 Conversation In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is having a quiet season thus far, but Week 11 gave us hope that he could still manufacture some worthwhile fantasy production with Anthony Richardson under center, garnering a team-high eight targets and turning it into five catches for 46 yards. Week 12 brings a matchup against the […]

Josh Downs A WR2 With Colts As Big Underdogs In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs leads his team in targets (71) and yards per game (63.0). Quarterback Anthony Richardson looked his way five times in Week 11 and Downs caught all five balls for 84 yards and a touchdown. Coming into the contest with a 44.4% completion rate, there were concerns about Richardson's ability […]

Jonathan Taylor A Back-End RB1 Versus Detroit In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was held to under 100 total yards rushing and receiving last Sunday for the second time in three weeks. While Week 12's showdown with the Lions looks like another tough matchup on paper, with the Lions allowing the fifth-fewest rushing yards per game thus far and the fourth-fewest fantasy […]

Anthony Richardson's Legs Give Him QB1 Upside In Week 12

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson is coming off his best fantasy performance since Week 1 after accounting for three touchdowns in Week 11. In Week 12, the Colts draw the Lions and they will be seven-point home underdogs in a game that features a high expected total (50). Although the 22-year-old completed 67% of his […]

Guardians And Triston McKenzie Avoid Arbitration

The Cleveland Guardians and pitcher Triston McKenzie avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a $1.95 million deal for one year. McKenzie was the 42nd overall pick in the 2015 Draft, but after peaking with a 2.96 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and a 19.7% K-BB% in 2022, the last two seasons have been marred by injury and […]

Nationals Sign Mason Thompson To A One-Year Deal

The Washington Nationals have signed pitcher Mason Thompson to a one-year deal. The 26-year-old missed the entire 2024 season after he underwent Tommy John surgery and it is presumed that he'll miss at least some portion of the beginning of 2025 as well. Once he returns, the righty will help the Nats out of the […]

Seby Zavala Signs Minor-League Deal With Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox have signed catcher Seby Zavala to a minor-league contract. The veteran debuted back in 2019 but hasn't logged more than 205 plate appearances in any season and is a career .205 hitter, although it was even lower in 2024, batting just .154 in 38 at-bats with Seattle. It wasn't much better […]

Rangers Sign Pitcher Caleb Boushley To A Minor-League Deal

The Texas Rangers have signed right-hander Caleb Boushley to a minor-league contract. Boushley pitched in the Twins organization for the entirety of 2024, but only briefly in the majors with just four innings pitched this year. At Triple-A in 2024, the 31-year-old made 26 starts but pitched to a 5.23 ERA and 1.37 WHIP. The […]

Mets Sign Joey Meneses To Minor-League Deal

Free-agent first baseman/designated hitter Joey Meneses has signed with the New York Mets on a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring camp. Meneses debuted with the Nationals back in August of 2022 and impressed with a .324/.367/.563 slash line over 240 plate appearances with a .395 wOBA and 158 wRC+, but failed to come […]

Tigers Sign Jahmai Jones To Minor-League Deal

The Detroit Tigers signed infielder/outfielder Jahmai Jones to a minor league deal that includes an invitation to camp. The 27-year-old last played with the Yankees in 2024, having logged just 47 plate appearances this season in 33 games, slashing .238/.304/.381 before he was sent down to Triple-A in August for the rest of the season. […]

Chris Sale Wins National League Cy Young Award

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Chris Sale won the NL Cy Young Award on Wednesday, the first time the 35-year-old has won the award in his 15-year career, despite finishing in the top five in six consecutive seasons from 2013-18. The lefty went 18-3 while posting a 2.38 ERA, 1.01 WHIP, and a 26.5% K-BB% while […]
