George Kittle Has Chance To Return
San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) has a chance to return this season. The 49ers opened Kittle's 21-day practice window ahead of their Week 15 contest with the Cowboys, though the star tight end won't suit up this week. While Kittle is likely close to a return, the team is inclined to sit […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJimmy Garoppolo Unlikely To Return This Season
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is unlikely to play in his team's final two games following Week 15. Garoppolo, who was placed on the injured reserve with an ankle injury in November, has yet to take the practice field and is already looked at as doubtful for Week 16. It's been a disappointing […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJosh Gordon Set To Practice Next Week
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon (suspension) was reinstated earlier this year and is slated to practice next week after working with the strength and conditioning staff on the side. Gordon hasn't played since the end of last season, though he reportedly looks good and is checking in at 238 pounds with seven percent body […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJulio Jones Still Plans To Return This Season
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) still intends to play this season despite missing four games and leaving a few others with a nagging hamstring injury. Jones was ruled out for Week 15 before the weekend and received an injection in his hamstring following the Falcons' latest contest against the Saints. Despite the injury-filled […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJames White Expected To Suit Up
New England Patriots running back James White (foot) is expected to suit up against the Dolphins in Week 15. With Damien Harris (ankle)already ruled out, White could be looking at more opportunities against Miami, though the veteran back has failed to produce in recent weeks. He's been held under four receptions in five of his […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJimmy Graham Expected To Play In Week 15
Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham (hip) is expected to play in Week 15 against the Vikings. Graham was listed as questionable but reportedly looked good in practice, despite being downgraded later in the week. While he's always a threat to secure a red-zone touchdown, the veteran tight end has been jumped on the depth […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMarquise Brown Activated Off Reserve/COVID List
Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Marquise Brown (COVID), Miles Boykin (COVID), and James Proche II (COVID) have all been activated off the Reserve/COVID list and are eligible to play against Jacksonville. While the latter two are off the fantasy radar, Brown has come on as of late, catching a touchdown in three straight games and exceeding […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoEvan Engram Slated To Play Against Cleveland
New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is slated to play in Week 15 against the Browns. Engram injured his knee during practice and was only able to get in limited work on Friday. However, he appears to be on the right side of questionable- though his quarterback outlook is looking murky with Colt […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDaniel Jones Expected To Be Sidelined In Week 15
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is expected to miss his team's Week 15 contest against the Browns. Jones was able to practice in a limited fashion, though this seems like a conservative approach by the coaching staff after the second-year pro was perhaps pushed into action a little too quickly last week. Colt […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoEzekiel Elliott Battling Injury, Still Slated To Play
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) continues to battle a calf injury as his team prepares to take on the 49ers in Week 15. Elliott has shown up on the injury report over the past several weeks as he continues to gut out hamstring and calf injuries. The All-Pro back has been a disappointment […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki On Right Side Of Questionable
Miami Dolphins' wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 15 divisional battle with the Patriots. Parker is likely more of a sure thing, given that Gesicki has improved enough to be more of a game-time call. Both pass-catchers would be even […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoChase Edmonds Plans To Play In Week 15
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) plans to suit up against the Eagles in Week 15. Edmonds will test his ankle in pre-game workouts, though all indications are that the 24-year-old back will be out on the field after upgrading to a limited practice session on Friday. Perhaps of bigger concern for Edmonds is […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMatthew Stafford Expected To Play Against Titans
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb, ribs) is expected to suit up in Week 15 against the Titans. Stafford was initially thought to be doubtful at best, though he wasn't ruled out by the team, given his willingness to play through injuries in the past. The veteran signal-caller will be far from 100 percent against […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoWil Lutz Could Have Rebound Effort In Week 15
New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could bounce back against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Lutz has missed all three field goals in his last two games, though he's made all 44 extra points this year, which has given him a nice floor. This week could present a ceiling game for Lutz's fantasy […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJared Cook An Appealing Streamer Against Chiefs
New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is back on the streaming radar after catching a touchdown in each of his last two games. Cook gets a matchup with the Chiefs, who have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. Plus, the veteran tight end should be looking at increased opportunities […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoTre'Quan Smith Could See Increased Opportunities
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith should see more looks in the passing game with Michael Thomas (ankle) out for a Week 15 matchup with the Chiefs. Smith has actually produced more in the last couple of weeks, with 3-42-1 and 3-60-0 lines in his last two games. He'll see a slight boost with […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoEmmanuel Sanders In The WR3 Conversation
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will be the leading receiver for his team without Michael Thomas (ankle) in the lineup. Sanders enjoyed a good game with Taysom Hill throwing him passes, though he should have a better outlook with Drew Brees (ribs, lung) slated to start. The veteran receiver averaged 7.3 receptions and […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoLatavius Murray Should Be Left On Benches
New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has seen his role decrease over the last two weeks. Murray had benefited from a run-first offense with Taysom Hill under center, as the back totaled a season-high 124 rushing yards on 19 attempts in a win over Denver a few weeks ago. Fellow back Alvin Kamara was […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoAlvin Kamara A Strong Play In All Formats
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is trending back towards being a top-three option for fantasy managers. Kamra exceeded 90 scrimmage yards in Week 14 for the first time since the injury to Drew Brees (ribs, lung), who will be making his return to the lineup against Kansas City. Kamara also saw 10 targets […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoYounghoe Koo An Elite Play
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is red-hot heading into a matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 15. If his status as the No. 1 kicker in fantasy football wasn't enough, Koo has now made 18 field goals in a row and 11 straight extra points. The 26-year-old is on fire and needs to be started […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoHayden Hurst A High-End TE2
Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst has been ice-cold lately heading into a matchup with the Buccaneers in Week 15. Hurst has been held under 50 receiving yards in four straight games, including less than 10 yards in three of his last four. That's a low floor for fantasy managers, one that's probably not worth […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoRussell Gage A Flex Option Against Tampa Bay
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage has put together a strong season for his team. Gage has posted career-highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns during this campaign. The 24-year-old has been hot as of late, with at least seven targets and 50 receiving yards in each of his last two games. Gage has […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoCalvin Ridley An Elite Play
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley will again be in line for more targets with Julio Jones (hamstring) sidelined for a Week 15 battle with the Buccaneers. Ridley capitalized on the absence of Jones last week, putting up an 8-124-1 line against the Chargers. In games where he's seen 10 or more targets, the star […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoTodd Gurley II A Low-End RB3 Against Buccaneers
Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II has been struggling since his return to the field two weeks ago. The former Ram has failed to exceed 20 rushing yards in back-to-back games and gets another tough matchup against the Buccaneers in Week 15. While not the immovable object they were earlier in the year, Tampa […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoMatt Ryan Should Be Avoided In Week 15
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan gets an easier matchup on paper against the Buccaneers in Week 15. Tampa Bay's defense was stout against the pass earlier in the year but has slipped up recently, as they've allowed the eighth-most passing yards in the last four weeks. Despite their recent vulnerabilities, Ryan is hard to trust […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoJordan Akins A Dicey Play
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has failed to take advantage of the opportunity in front of him lately. Akins has been plagued by drops recently, including several dropped scores. The veteran tight end actually saw a decrease in snaps recently, though it's unclear if it's related to a decrease in his production. It's hard […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoChad Hansen A Sleeper Against Colts
Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen has settled in as the third wideout for his team. The Cal product has seen at least seven targets in back-to-back games, delivering at least 50 yards both times, including a 100-yard day. The matchup against the Colts was a bad one earlier in the year, though they've become […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoKeke Coutee In The WR3 Range For Week 15
Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee has built some momentum as a fantasy option over the last two weeks. Coutee has produced over 100 yards in one game and a touchdown in the other, playing at least 70 percent of the snaps in both contests. He has emerged as a starting-caliber wideout in the absence […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDavid Johnson Practices In Full Thursday
Houston Texans running back David Johnson (COVID) is presumably good to go for Sunday's divisional clash with the Colts. Johnson was on the COVID/Reserve list because of a close contact and missed last week's game, though he is now on track to start against an Indianapolis defense that has shown some signs of weakness against […]
Tim Capurso 4 years agoDeshaun Watson A Low-End QB1 Against Colts
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson faces the Colts in a Week 15 divisional battle. Watson has cooled off ever-so-slightly as a passer, with just one passing touchdown in his last two games after tossing seven in the three contests prior. However, he'll have a chance for a bounce-back performance against a Colts' secondary that has […]
