Josh Adams' Touches To Increase Each Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said the plan is to increase rookie running back Josh Adams' touches each week. Adams ran the ball a season-high 22 times for 84 yards and a score in the Week 12 win over the Giants and seems firmly entrenched as the team's lead back moving forward. However, he'll […]

Kenyan Drake To Rest Shoulder This Week In Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake (shoulder) fell on his injured shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Colts and will not take contact in practice this week. Drake only had 32 yards rushing on eight carries on Sunday, but he found the end zone on the ground and also had five catches for […]

Melvin Gordon To Miss A Few Weeks

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 MCL sprain that he suffered in the Week 12 blowout win over the Cardinals, according to sources. He will miss the next few weeks but should be back before the end of the regular season, barring any setbacks. It's a […]

Andy Dalton Has Sprained Thumb

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) was diagnosed with a sprained right thumb after X-rays came up negative, according to a team source. Dalton left the game in the second half of the Week 12 blowout loss to the Browns after falling on a bad snap. Head coach Marvin Lewis said the tests didn't show […]

Melvin Gordon Has MCL Injury

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (knee) is dealing with an MCL injury after leaving the Week 12 win over the Cardinals in the third quarter, according to a source. Gordon will be re-evaluated on Monday, but there is a real possibility that he will miss next Sunday night's game against the Steelers. Gordon […]

Chad Beebe Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Packers in Week 12. Beebe caught all four of his passes for 39 yards with Stefon Diggs out in recent weeks, but he's a non-factor now for fantasy purposes with Diggs back in the fold. Running back Mike […]

Jimmy Graham Playing Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee, thumb) is active on Sunday night against the Vikings. Graham caught just one pass for 13 yards last Thursday before injuring his thumb. He's caught just two passes for 27 yards in his last two games and is a low-end, touchdown-dependent TE1 on Sunday night.

Randall Cobb Ruled Out Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday night's game against the Vikings. Cobb hasn't played since Nov. 4 against the Patriots and has been a non-factor other than the season opener when he went for 142 yards and a touchdown. He's not a must-stash in redraft leagues. Davante Adams, […]

Leonard Fournette Ejected Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was ejected from the game against the Bills in Week 12 in the third quarter. Fournette got into a tussle with Bills defensive end Shaq Lawson after a Jaguars touchdown. The good news for Fournette's owners is that he had 18 carries for 95 yards and two touchdowns before […]

Andy Dalton Injured Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton (thumb) left the game in the second half in Week 12 against the Browns and is questionable to return with a right thumb injury. It's unlikely that Dalton returns in what was already a blowout in Cleveland's favor. Dalton was 10-for-17 for only 100 yards with a touchdown and interception […]

Jakeem Grant, A.J. Derby Inactive

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant (Achilles) and tight end A.J. Derby (foot, knee) are both inactive in Week 12 against the Colts. Grant could miss more time but is expected to return before the end of the season. He belongs on the waiver wire. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill will have Danny Amendola, Devante Parker and […]

Chad Williams Out In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Chad Williams (ankle) is inactive in Week 12 against the Chargers after not practicing all week. The second-year wideout hasn't played since Oct. 28 and has just 11 catches on 31 targets for 113 yards and a touchdown this year. You can continue to leave him to the waiver wire. Larry […]

Phil Dawson Active Against Chargers

Arizona Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson (hip) is active for Week 12 against the Chargers. Dawson returns for the first time since Nov. 11 against the Chiefs. He's made just four of six field-goal attempts this year and is not a recommended fantasy option in perhaps one of the worst offenses in the league.

Melvin Gordon Will Play Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring, knee), who is questionable for Week 12 against the Cardinals, will play on Sunday. Gordon has had exactly 18 carries in each of the last two weeks, but he disappointed on the ground with only 69 yards rushing in the loss to Denver last week. In an […]

A.J. Green, Josh Malone Officially Out

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers A.J. Green (toe) and Josh Malone (hamstring) have officially been ruled out for Week 12 against the Browns. Offensive tackle Cordy Glenn (back), cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick (shoulder) and linebacker Nick Vigil (knee) are also out, leaving the Bengals without some key contributors on both sides of the ball. Green was never […]

David Njoku Active Against Bengals

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is active for Week 12 against the Bengals. Njoku practiced all week, so he was never really in danger of missing this game despite being listed as questionable. He's been a bust in two of the last three weeks, including just one catch for 18 yards in Week […]

Ronald Jones II Still Inactive

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II (hamstring) is inactive for Week 12 against the 49ers. Jones practiced in full all week, suggesting he remains behind both Peyton Barber and Jacquizz Rodgers on the depth chart when fully healthy. Jones hasn't played since Oct. 28 against the Bengals, when he ran just two […]

DeSean Jackson Playing In Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is active for Week 12 against the 49ers. D-Jax hasn't scored since Oct. 28 and hasn't gone over 100 yards since Sept. 30 against the Bears. He's the definition of a boom or bust fantasy player and although the loss of tight end O.J. Howard should open […]

Derek Anderson, Charles Clay Out In Week 12

Buffalo Bills quarterback Derek Anderson (concussion) and tight end Charles Clay (hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 12 against the Jaguars. Anderson was limited in practice all week, so he's clearly making progress. However, he'll merely be an insurance policy under center with rookie Josh Allen back in action. Matt Barkley will be Allen's […]

D.J. Chark, Marcell Dareus Out Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver D.J. Chark (quadriceps) and defensive tackle Marcell Dareus (back) are out for Week 12 against the Bills. Chark has only 14 catches on 30 targets for 174 yards this year, so he has been a non-factor for fantasy owners. Dareus' absence on the interior will be a loss for Jacksonville's […]

Joe Flacco Out Again In Week 12

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco (hip) is officially inactive for Week 12 against the Raiders. Flacco missed practice all week, and it's unclear when he'll be able to start again. Rookie Lamar Jackson threw for 150 yards and an interception in last week's win over the Bengals but ran 26 times for 119 yards. He's […]

Jordy Nelson Active In Week 12

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) is active in Week 12 against the Ravens. While Nelson has three touchdowns on the year, he hasn't gone over two catches or 16 yards since he had four catches for 43 yards and a touchdown on Oct. 7 against the Chargers. Especially against a tough Ravens defense, […]

Robby Anderson Playing Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is active for Week 12 against the Patriots. Anderson is back for the first time since Nov. 4 against the Dolphins, and he's expected to have a limited role in his return against New England. With quarterback Sam Darnold still on the shelf, it's really hard to […]

Tom Brady, Rob Gronkowski, Sony Michel Active

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (knee, illness), tight end Rob Gronkowski (back, ankle) and rookie running back Sony Michel (knee) are all active for Week 12 against the Jets. It's a bit odd that all three were questionable coming off their bye week, but they will play and should be in everyone's lineups. Brady […]

Josh Adams To Be Featured As Starter

Philadelphia Eagles running back Josh Adams is expected to be featured as the starter moving forward. Adams has exactly 14 carries for 100 yards and a score in the last two weeks and has proven to be the best option over Corey Clement and Wendell Smallwood. Still, he could have his touches limited in this […]

Torrey Smith Returning In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) is active for Week 12 against the Seahawks. Smith has been out since Oct. 21 and should help with Devin Funchess (back) being out against Seattle. However, Smith wasn't a very big part of the passing game before his injury and will remain a WR4/5 as a boom/bust […]

Devin Funchess Officially Out In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess (back) is officially out for Week 12 against the Seahawks. Running backs Kenjon Barner and Travaris Cadet are also healthy scratches for this contest. With Funchess out, rookie DJ Moore and Curtis Samuel should have substantial roles in the passing game, with Moore being the more attractive fantasy bet. […]

Doug Baldwin Active Against Panthers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin (groin) is active for Week 12 against the Panthers despite not practicing all week. Running back C.J. Prosise continues to be a healthy scratch, while linebacker K.J. Wright (knee) also remains out of action. Baldwin had one of his best games of the season last week with seven catches […]

Jordan Reed Still Dealing With Pain

Washington Redskins tight end Jordan Reed (toes) is still fighting pain in his toes from offseason surgery and is rebuilding strength in his legs, but he hasn't missed a single game in 10 weeks. He currently has 37 catches for 391 yards and one touchdown. “I feel like I’m starting to come over the curve,” […]

Jimmy Graham's Injury Could Be Serious

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham's (thumb) injury is feared to be serious. Graham caught the first pass of the game for Green Bay for 13 yards, but he wasn't heard from again all night and left the game in the second quarter. He has just two catches for 27 yards in the last […]
