Clyde Edwards-Helaire Suffers High-Ankle Sprain
Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) suffered what is believed to be a high-ankle sprain in the Week 15 win to the Saints. He also strained his hip in the 32-29 victory, according to a source. Edwards-Helaire is expected to miss the final two regular season games, […]
Jalen Hurts To Start Against Cowboys
Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will make his third start in Week 15 against the division-rival Cowboys, according to head coach Doug Pederson. At this point this was just a formality after Hurts threw for 338 yards and three touchdowns while adding 63 rushing yards for another touchdown in the Week 15 loss to […]
Panthers Fire General Manager Marty Hurney
The Carolina Panthers fired general manager Marty Hurney on Monday, according to a source informed of the situation. Owner David Tepper said he respected Hurney's traditional style, but he wants to shift to a modern, data-driven process the football operations office. First-year head coach Matt Rhule will play a role in the hiring of the […]
Ben Roethlisberger Intends To Return In 2021
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wants to keep playing next season and fulfill the terms of his contract with one season remaining, barring a change of heart, according to sources. The 2020 season has taken a physical toll on the 38-year-old, but sources around him think he's having too much fun to walk away after […]
Stephon Gilmore To Miss Rest Of Season
New England Patriots All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore (leg) is expected to miss the final two regular season games after suffering a leg injury that wasn't as serious as the team first believed it to be. However, with the Patriots officially eliminated from playoff contention after losing to the Dolphins in Week 15, Gilmore will be […]
Cameron Jordan Won't Be Suspended
New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan won't be suspended for a punch that got him ejected in the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday, according to a source. It was a questionable ejection call, but the good news is that Jordan will be available for a Week 16 meeting with the Vikings […]
Clyde Edwards-Helaire Could Return For Playoffs
Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) suffered ankle and hip injuries in the Week 15 win over the Saints, but X-rays came back negative, according to head coach Andy Reid. The team will know more after an MRI exam, but the early expectation is that Edwards-Helaire will miss the final two […]
Broncos Defense Flounders Against Bills
The Denver Broncos Defense shouldn't have been on anyone's fantasy radar for Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday, and they proved why as Buffalo quarterback Josh Allen carved them up for 359 yards passing and two touchdowns while also adding two scores and 33 yards on the ground on three carries. One of Buffalo's […]
Taylor Russolino Predictably Fails Against Bills
Denver Broncos kicker Taylor Russolino, who most recently kicked in the XFL, was forced to make his NFL debut on Saturday against the Bills with regular kicker Brandon McManus still on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. McManus had appeared in 111 of the team's 112 games since 2014 and had missed just two kicks all year -- […]
K.J. Hamler Non-Existent In Week 15
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler was coming off a two-touchdown performance in Week 14 against the Panthers heading into Saturday's Week 15 tilt with the Bills. But Hamler really disappointed after his best game of the season, going for just one catch on four targets for just four receiving yards. We warned fantasy […]
Tim Patrick Can't Make It Three Straight Games With A TD
Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick could not make it three straight games with a touchdown in Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday. Not only did Patrick not find the end zone against Buffalo, but he managed just three catches on four targets for 14 yards in the 48-19 blowout loss. A performance like […]
Jerry Jeudy Catches Just One Pass Saturday
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy managed to catch just one of his five targets for 19 yards in the 48-19 loss to the Bills on Saturday in Week 15. Quarterback Drew Lock hasn't helped Jeudy's cause in his rookie season, but the Alabama alum did also drop a pass in the contest. The […]
Noah Fant Ends Touchdown Drought
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant rewarded any fantasy managers that stuck with him after his donut in Week 14 against the Panthers. The second-year tight end caught a season-high eight of a season-high 11 targets for 68 yards and his third touchdown of the year in the Week 15 loss to the Bills on […]
Phillip Lindsay Doesn't Contribute Much Against Buffalo
Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay had as many carries (11) as teammate Melvin Gordon III against the Bills on Saturday, but he was much less effective, gaining 38 yards on the ground while catching all three of his targets for an additional seven yards in the 48-19 loss. The good news is that Lindsay […]
Melvin Gordon III Finds The End Zone Twice On Saturday
Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had one of his best games of the season in the 48-19 loss to the Bills on Saturday in Week 15. Gordon carried the ball 11 times for 61 yards and two touchdowns while also adding four catches on four targets for 20 yards in the passing game. […]
Drew Lock Very Mediocre In Loss To Bills
Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was coming off his best game of the season in a Week 14 win against the Panthers, but he wasn't able to deliver an encore, falling flat in a 48-19 loss to Buffalo on Saturday. Lock went just 20-for-32 for 132 yards and a touchdown. He also ran the ball […]
Frank Ragnow Won't Play In Week 15
Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (throat) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Week 15 against the Titans. Ragnow fractured his throat last week but somehow managed to play through the injury last Sunday. His absence will be a downgrade for Detroit's offensive line against Tennessee, and it's more bad news for quarterback Matthew […]
Broncos Defense Not In Play Against The Bills
The Denver Broncos Defense has overachieved this year despite losing defensive MVP Von Miller to a season-ending ankle injury before the regular season. They rank 19th in the league in overall defense but have been surprisingly good against the passing game despite having an inexperienced secondary. However, top cornerback A.J. Bouye is suspended for the […]
Michael Thomas Ruled Out Against Chiefs
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Chiefs. It's extremely bad timing, as not only is this weekend the fantasy semifinals for most leagues, but the Saints are also getting quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) back on Sunday, which was going to be a boost […]
Brandon McManus Needs To Be Avoided
Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus shouldn't be in any starting fantasy lineups this weekend for a Week 15 matchup against the Bills on Saturday. McManus landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week as a high-risk close contact of someone outside the organization that tested positive for the virus. The 29-year-old could still be cleared […]
Matthew Stafford Officially Questionable For Week 15
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant on Friday and is officially questionable for Week 15 against the Titans. It was reported earlier that Stafford didn't practice Friday, so his limited session is at least somewhat encouraging after he missed practice Wednesday and Thursday. But fantasy managers should be […]
Jimmy Graham, Khalil Mack Questionable Against Vikings
Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham (hip) and outside linebacker Khalil Mack (shoulder) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Vikings. Graham and Mack were both limited in practice on Friday, giving them a good shot to suit up. Even if Graham is active, he's an extremely unattractive touchdown-dependent, low-end TE2. Cole […]
Austin Hooper, David Njoku Questionable
Cleveland Browns tight ends Austin Hooper (neck) and David Njoku (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Cornerbacks Denzel Ward (calf) and Kevin Johnson (groin) are also questionable. Head coach Kevin Stefanski expects Ward and Hooper to play. Even though Hooper should be active, he's not a […]
Wyatt Teller Ruled Out For Sunday Night
Cleveland Browns offensive guard Wyatt Teller (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 15 against the Giants on Sunday night. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said that Teller is "week-to-week," so there's no guarantee he'll be back for Week 16. Teller's absence this weekend will be a downgrade to Cleveland's rushing attack, but Nick Chubb remains […]
Jackie Bradley Jr. Drawing Plenty Of Interest
Free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is drawing interest from the Phillies, Cubs and Blue Jays, among other teams. The 30-year-old is coming off a 2020 season in which he posted a 118 OPS+, his best mark since 2016. The Red Sox also remain interested in re-signing Bradley despite recently adding outfielder Hunter Renfroe. "The door […]
Padres Interested In Sonny Gray
The San Diego Padres are looking for another starting pitcher and have interest in Cincinnati Reds right-hander Sonny Gray. Mike Clevinger (elbow) is set to miss all of the 2021 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. San Diego's payroll in 2021 will likely be lower than last season's non-prorated Opening Day mark of around $150 […]
Trevor Bauer Too Expensive For The Reds
Free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is too expensive for the Cincinnati Reds, so he won't be returning to the team in 2021 and beyond. Bauer's National League Cy Young season in 2020 helped the team end their six-year playoff drought, however. The right-hander declined the team's $18.9 million qualifying offer in November, assuring that the […]
Daniel Jones, Evan Engram Questionable
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) and tight end Evan Engram (calf) are listed as questionable for Sunday night against the Browns. Jones has been extremely limited the last couple days and could be a game-time decision against Cleveland after tweaking his ankle in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals. The second-year […]
Matt Barnes Penciled In As Red Sox Closer
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora said that relief pitcher Matt Barnes is currently penciled in as the team's closer for the 2021 season. The 30-year-old right-hander had nine saves in 13 tries last year, with most of them coming after the club traded Brandon Workman to the Phillies. "If the season started tomorrow and […]
Red Sox Expect A Better J.D. Martinez In 2021
Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora thinks outfielder/designated hitter J.D. Martinez will have a much better season in 2021. Martinez was fourth in the American League MVP voting in 2018 after he hit 43 home runs and led the league with 130 RBI while helping the Red Sox to a franchise-record 108 wins and a […]
