Eagles Not Talking About Trading Carson Wentz
Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman wouldn't discuss the idea of trading quarterback Carson Wentz on Monday after the team benched him in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts late in the season. "That is not anything we're talking about right now," Roseman said. Wentz will count for more than $30 million in salary cap space […]
Trey Hopkins Tears ACL
Cincinnati Bengals center Trey Hopkins (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 17 loss to the Ravens and will require surgery, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Hopkins has started all but one game in the last two seasons and also played a full 16 games in 2018. The 28-year-old from Texas will have […]
Bills Sign Kenny Stills
The Buffalo Bills are signing veteran wide receiver Kenny Stills to their practice squad on Monday. Stills was released by the Houston Texans in late November and had been a free agent since.

Olivier Vernon Suffers Torn Achilles
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that defensive end Olivier Vernon (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 17 win over the Steelers and will have surgery. Vernon will miss the team's playoff run. In 13 games this year, the veteran pass-rusher had nine sacks, ranking second to Myles Garrett's 12 sacks. Adrian […]
Chargers Part Ways With Anthony Lynn
The Los Angeles Chargers fired head coach Anthony Lynn on Monday. The 52-year-old went 33-31 as the head coach in four seasons at the helm. Lynn guided the team to a playoff appearance in his first two years, but he posted losing records each of the last two seasons. The Chargers won their final four […]
Broncos Defense Records Four Turnovers Against Raiders
The Denver Broncos Defense wasn't trustworthy for fantasy purposes in 2020, mainly due to injuries at key positions and a general lack of takeaways. But in the Week 17 regular season finale against the division-rival Raiders, they were able to recover two fumbles and intercept two passes to finish as a top-10 fantasy unit for […]
Brandon McManus Misses Three Kicks In Season Finale
Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus was rarely afforded a ton of field-goal opportunities on a weekly basis in 2020 because of the team's inconsistent and mediocre offense as a whole. But in the Week 17 regular season finale against the division-rival Raiders, McManus attempted a season-high-tying six field goals, although he made just three of […]
Tyrie Cleveland Involved In Week 17
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Tyrie Cleveland had the best game of his rookie season in the 32-31 Week 17 loss to the Raiders in the regular season finale. Cleveland caught four of his five targets against Las Vegas on Sunday for a season-high 45 yards. The 23-year-old speedster was rarely used in 2020, even […]
Tim Patrick Catches Just Two Passes In Week 17
Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick caught just two of four targets for 46 yards in the 32-31 loss to the division-rival Raiders in the Week 17 regular season finale on Sunday. It was a disappointing end to a solid season for Patrick, who really stepped up for the Broncos in the absence of their […]
Noah Fant Has 48 Yards To Close Out The Season
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant caught four of his six targets on Sunday against the Raiders for 48 yards in the 32-31 loss to end the 2020 season. It wasn't exactly a great showing to close out the year, but Fant was quarterback Drew Lock's most reliable pass-catcher at the tail end of the […]
Jerry Jeudy Goes Off In Week 17
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had been limping to the finish line of his rookie season before he exploded in the Week 17 loss to the Raiders on Sunday. Jeudy came out of nowhere to go for a team-high five catches on a team-leading seven targets for 140 yards and a touchdown against […]
Royce Freeman Has Only Three Touches Against Raiders
Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman carried the ball twice for 21 yards (10.5 yards per carry) and caught his lone target in the passing game for one yard in the 32-31 loss to the division-rival Raiders in the Week 17 regular season finale. It was a disappointing finish to the year the last two […]
Melvin Gordon III Almost Hits Century Mark In Season Finale
Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III took advantage of a nice matchup in the Week 17 regular season finale against the division-rival Raiders on Sunday. Gordon finished with a season-high 26 carries for 93 yards and a touchdown on the ground and added four receptions on six targets for 17 yards through the air. […]
Drew Lock Finishes The Season Strong
Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had one of his best games of the season in the 32-31 Week 17 loss to the division-rival Raiders on Sunday, going 25-for-41 for a season-high 339 yards and two touchdowns. Lock didn't have any interceptions or fumbles, ending a streak of 11 straight games with a turnover. He finishes […]
Alex Smith Taking First-Team Repetitions
Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is taking first-team repetitions at practice on Thursday in individual drills, which is a good sign for his availability in a must-win game in Week 17 against the division-rival Eagles on Sunday night. Smith has missed the last two games and was held out of practice on Wednesday, […]
Ravens Defense Keeping Jimmy Smith For Another Year
The Baltimore Ravens and veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith agreed to a one-year contract extension on Thursday worth up to $5 million, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. He'll receive a $500,000 signing bonus, $2 million in base salary and $2.5 million in playing-time incentives, which he's considered unlikely to earn, making the deal salary cap-friendly. […]
Golden Tate's Season Could Be Over
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (calf) missed practice on Wednesday, and his season could be over after being inactive in the Week 16 loss to the Ravens. Tate did limited stationary bike work with trainers on the side on Wednesday. The 32-year-old veteran has been a fantasy afterthought this year with just 35 […]
Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard On Week 17 Injury Report
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (ankle) and wide receiver Sterling Shepard (rib) were both among the players limited in practice on Wednesday, but they are both expected to play in the Week 17 must-win game against the division-rival Cowboys. Engram suffered his injury late in the Week 16 loss to the Ravens, so […]
Daniel Jones' Mobility Limited
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday for the first time in more than a month, but he's been playing through a left ankle sprain and right hamstring strain. "I've played from the pocket the past couple weeks, and I expect to continue to do that until I'm healthy," […]
Malcolm Brown Dealing With Injury
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. If he cannot play and rookie Cam Akers (ankle) doesn't return from his high-ankle sprain against the Cardinals on Sunday, the Rams would play without a running back that has a carry in 2020. Head coach Sean McVay said he'd be […]
Andrew Whitworth Won't Play Against Cardinals
Los Angeles Rams Pro Bowl left tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) was cleared to return to practice this week after being on Injured Reserve, but he won't play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Cardinals. If the Rams win and advance to the postseason, Whitworth could be ready to play. The 39-year-old veteran […]
John Wolford Making The Start In Week 17
With Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) out after having surgery to fix a broken and dislocated thumb he suffered in the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks, former AAF QB John Wolford will see his first snaps in the NFL in a win-and-in Week 17 matchup against the Cardinals. The Wake Forest product […]
Kenny Golladay Ruled Out For Season Finale
Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) will not play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Vikings. Heading into free agency, Golladay didn't exactly increase his stock heading into the open market after playing in just five games in 2020 due to injury. The 27-year-old […]
Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Other WRs Expected To Return
Cleveland Browns wide receivers Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, KhaDarel Hodge and Donovan Peoples-Jones, who were out in Week 16 because of COVID-19, are expected to rejoin the team once they can practice as early as Thursday. However, Cleveland continues to deal with COVID-19 issues ahead of their pivotal Week 17 game against the Steelers. Linebacker […]
Broncos Defense Shouldn't Be Trusted In Regular Season Finale
While the Denver Broncos Defense hasn't been terrible given injuries to key players on that side of the ball in 2020, they also haven't been much of an option for fantasy lineups all season long. That should remain the case in Week 17 against the Raiders, especially if star pass-rusher Bradley Chubb (ankle) is forced […]
Brandon McManus A Low-End Streamer Against Raiders
Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus returned from the COVID-19 list last week and was one of the top fantasy kickers in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers. He was afforded four field-goal attempts (three makes), but that was just the fourth time in 14 games this year that McManus attempted more than two field […]
Noah Fant Trending In Right Direction To Close Out 2020
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant scored touchdowns in the first two games of the season, leading many fantasy managers to believe that he was well on his way to a breakout in just his second year in the league. But Fant battled through some injuries and didn't score his third touchdown until a Week […]
DaeSean Hamilton Likely To See A Bigger Role In Week 17
Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton surprisingly led the team in receiving in their Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers, catching a season-high five passes on a season-high nine targets for 77 yards. It was likely attributed to the fact that rookie wideout K.J. Hamler left the game early with a concussion and never […]
Jerry Jeudy's Upside Has Rarely Been On Display In 2020
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was touted as the best route-runner in possibly the most stacked rookie crop of receivers in any NFL draft. Nobody is debating Jeudy's talents as a skilled route-runner, but his strengths haven't been accentuated in this young and inexperienced offense. It didn't help when No. 1 receiver Courtland […]
Tim Patrick Hopes To End Impressive Season On A Good Note
Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick really stepped up for the team this year with Courtland Sutton (knee) missing the entire season. The third-year wideout heads into a meaningless Week 17 game against the Raiders with 49 receptions on 75 targets for 696 yards and a six touchdowns in 14 games, all career-highs. While he […]
