Mac Jones To Start Against Giants

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will start in Week 12 against the New York Giants on Sunday, according to sources. However, backup Bailey Zappe is likely to be in the mix as well. The Patriots have been non-committal on their starting quarterback ever since the Week 10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany, […]

Joe Burrow To Have Wrist Surgery Monday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) will undergo surgery on his wrist on Monday, according to sources. The expectation is that Burrow will make a full recovery for the 2024 season. Regardless of how far the Bengals advance in the playoffs if they were to qualify, head coach Zac Taylor said Burrow's season is over. […]

Maxx Crosby Fully Expects To Play Against Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders All-Pro edge rusher Maxx Crosby (knee), who was listed as doubtful to play in Week 12 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday's final injury report, said he fully expects to play on Sunday. The last time a player played after being listed as doubtful was Week 8 of the 2020 season. […]

Signs Point To Mac Jones Starting In Week 12

Signs continue to point to New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones starting on Sunday for the Week 12 matchup against the New York Giants, but as of Friday, the players still had not been told which quarterback would make the start this weekend. Jones and Bailey Zappe split QB repetitions at practice during the week […]

Broncos Defense Firmly On The Streaming Radar Against Browns

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit is definitely a viable streaming option in Week 12 against a Cleveland Browns offense that will be starting rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson at quarterback. Denver's D has allowed the third-most points per game (26.8) in 2023, but that is largely skewed by their 70-point fiasco against the Dolphins in Week […]

Wil Lutz Likely To Disappoint In Week 12

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz has vaulted into the top 10 at the kicking position in terms of overall fantasy points on the season during the Broncos' four-game winning streak. Lutz attempted just nine field goals (eight made) in the first six games, but during the four-game winning streak, he's gone 14-for-15 on field-goal tries […]

Continue To Avoid Adam Trautman In Fantasy

Despite serving as the Denver Broncos' top pass-catching tight end all year with Greg Dulcich (hamstring) hurt, Adam Trautman has failed to make any noise. His two-catch, 34-yard performance in last Sunday night's 21-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings was his second-best performance of the season. That's really all you need to know. Trautman has […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Remains Off The Fantasy Radar

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has been on the field much more in the last two weeks, but it has amounted to only two receptions on four targets for 12 yards. During Denver's four-game winning streak, Mims has three catches on six targets for 12 yards and he has had more than […]

MRI Confirms Torn Achilles For Jaelan Phillips

An MRI exam on Saturday confirmed that Miami Dolphins linebacker Jaelan Phillips (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles on Friday in the Week 12 win over the New York Jets. Phillips will be forced to miss the rest of the season, which will be a big blow for the Dolphins defense the rest of the way. […]

Johan Oviedo To Undergo Tommy John Surgery

Pittsburgh Pirates Cuban right-hander Johan Oviedo (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery in the coming days, according to sources. Tommy John surgery was on the table for Oviedo once the 2023 season ended, and now it's become a reality that will knock him out for the entire 2024 season. The 25-year-old went 9-14 with a […]

Jackie Bradley Jr. Expected To Retire

Free-agent outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr., who was one of the better defensive center fielders of his era, is expected to retire this offseason. Bradley played in 43 games for the Kansas City Royals in 2023 before being waived in June. In his 113 plate appearances, he went just 14-for-105 (.133) with a home run, five […]

Yankees Still Interested In Frankie Montas

The New York Yankees remain interested in re-signing right-hander Frankie Montas this offseason. The Yankees are very much in the starting pitching market this winter and are also eyeing Japanese right-hander Yoshinobu Yamamoto and free-agent left-hander Jordan Montgomery, among others. The Yankees acquired Montas from the Oakland Athletics in the second half of the 2022 […]

Dalvin Cook Totals Just 21 Yards In Week 12 Loss

New York Jets running back Dalvin Cook continued to be an afterthought in this putrid offense in the 34-13 loss to the division-rival Miami Dolphins on Friday in Week 12. Cook finished the loss with just one carry for two yards and caught two of his three targets for 19 yards in the passing attack. […]

Allen Lazard Will Get Another Chance

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard, who has struggled in his first year with the team after signing a four-year, $44 million deal in March, was a healthy scratch for the Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Friday. Lazard also received $22 million over the first two years of his deal, the […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Sees 14 Touches In Week 12 Win

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. saw his biggest workload of the year in the Week 12 win over the New York Jets on Friday, just a week after being a healthy scratch. Rookie De'Von Achane (knee) was inactive, leading to Wilson carrying the ball 11 times for 56 yards (5.1 yards per carry) […]

Bengals Officially Put Joe Burrow On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals officially placed quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist) on Injured Reserve and elevated quarterback AJ McCarron from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. This move should come as no surprise to anyone, as Burrow is going to miss the […]

Patriots Waive Will Grier

The New England Patriots waived quarterback Will Grier on Saturday, according to a source. Grier never ended up playing for the Patriots this year after they signed him to their active roster off the Cincinnati Bengals' practice squad in September, even with Mac Jones struggling mightily this year. The 28-year-old hasn't played in an NFL […]

Jets Sticking With Tim Boyle At Quarterback

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said the team is going to stick with Tim Boyle as their starting quarterback after a poor performance in the Week 12 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Friday. "Yeah, we're giving Timmy a chance to roll again next week," Saleh said. Boyle went 27-for-38 for 179 yards […]

Jerome Ford, Kareem Hunt Expected To Be Busy Against Broncos

The Cleveland Browns are expected to get back to riding running backs Jerome Ford and Kareem Hunt in a combination in Week 12 against the Denver Broncos, a defense that has the No. 31 rush defense by DVOA. The Broncos defense is last by a wide margin in opponent yards per rush attempt (5.5) and […]

Rachaad White Added To Injury Report, Questionable For Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White (knee) has been added to the Week 12 injury report on Saturday and is considered questionable to play on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Late additions to the injury report are usually never a good thing, especially the day before the game kicks off, but fantasy managers will […]

Jerry Jeudy A Volatile WR4/Flex Option Against Cleveland

Fantasy managers haven't really seen anything from Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy this year that would make them excited to throw him into their starting lineups, and that is especially true in a Week 12 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, who boast the best defense in the NFL. The Browns defense is allowing the […]

Courtland Sutton's Touchdown Streak Will Be Put To The Test

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been Denver's offensive MVP through 11 weeks in 2023 with 45 receptions (62 targets) for 499 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns. He has really had a nose for the end zone in 2023 and is quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to target in the biggest moments. Sutton has scored […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Not Worth Starting In Week 12

Denver Broncos rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin isn't seeing enough volume of late behind lead back Javonte Williams to warrant a starting lineup in standard-sized fantasy leagues. The 23-year-old did have a career-high five catches for 14 yards in last week's win over the Vikings, but he saw only one carry and hasn't had more […]

Javonte Williams A Low-End RB2 In Tough Matchup Against Browns

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams was beginning to look like an RB1 in fantasy in Weeks 8 and 10 when he combined for 48 rushing attempts for 164 yards and seven catches for 44 yards and two touchdowns in wins over the Chiefs and Bills. But he hit a wall in last week's win […]

Fade Russell Wilson In Week 12

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has been outstanding in 2023 compared to what he looked like in his first year in Denver in 2022. He has 19 touchdown passes (at least one in every game) and only four interceptions in 10 games. Wilson has gone over 200 yards passing just once during Denver's current four-game […]

Anthony Rizzo Doing "Great"

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo (concussion), who slumped in 2023 and then was shut down after suffering a concussion, is said to be doing "great" so far this offseason, according to his agent, Ryan Gleichowski. Rizzo expects to have a completely normal offseason after his 2023 campaign ended early on Sept. 12 when […]

Yankees Interested In Juan Soto, Jung-Hoo Lee

The New York Yankees are interested in trading for San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto and they have also inquired about Korean outfielder Jung-Hoo Lee, a two-way center fielder who is only 24 years old. However, Lee already has 20 teams after him despite not being posted by his Korean team yet. The Yankees like […]

At Least Seven Teams Linked To Shohei Ohtani

As expected, there are no shortage of suitors for free-agent two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani this winter. At least the Los Angeles Dodgers, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs are believed to be going big for Ohtani, while the San Diego Padres, Texas Rangers, Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are waiting and praying they'll […]

Maxx Crosby Doubtful To Play In Week 12

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) did not practice all week and has been listed as doubtful to play in a Week 12 divisional showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Meanwhile, safeties Marcus Epps (neck) and Roderic Teamer (hamstring) and linebacker Robert Spillane (ankle) are questionable. Crosby is the heart and […]

Kyren Williams Off The Injury Report, Will Return On Sunday

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) was a full practice participant all week and was officially removed from the Week 12 injury report on Friday.
