Teddy Bridgewater An Unappealing Option Against Broncos

Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater gets a Week 14 matchup against the Broncos Defense, which has picked up some momentum in the last several weeks. Denver has allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the last four weeks, including last week's matchup with Patrick Mahomes. Bridgewater will be tasked with solving this […]

David Johnson Placed On COVID-19 List

Houston Texans running back David Johnson has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and will miss Week 14 against the Colts. Johnson was originally deemed questionable by interim head coach Romeo Crennel, who noted that his starting running back might not travel to Chicago because of a personal reason. It's not known if Johnson tested positive […]

Buccaneers Defense A Top-12 Option

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense has slipped up recently, recording just five sacks and three interceptions in their last three games. Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has played good football lately, though he's coming off a game where he threw one interception and was sacked four times against the Jaguars. It's not a smash spot, but […]

Rob Gronkowski A Solid Option Against Minnesota

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski faces a tough matchup on paper against the Vikings Defense. While Minnesota ranks 16th in fantasy points allowed to tight ends, they've surrendered the ninth-most yards to the position this year. Gronkowski is coming off his best game as a Buccaneer before the Week 13 bye- a 106-yard […]

Antonio Brown A WR3 Play In Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has flex appeal heading into a juicy matchup with the Vikings' struggling secondary. Brown had started to pick up momentum in the offense, with back-to-back games above 50 receiving yards on eight and 13 targets before putting up a dud against the Chiefs in Week 12. Fortunately, there […]

Chris Godwin A High-Floor Option Against Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin faces a great matchup in Week 14 against Minnesota. The Vikings have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, including 20.5 targets per game to the position as a whole. That leaves enough room for all three Buccaneers' receivers to produce this week, though Godwin […]

Leonard Fournette A Desperation Flex In Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has been a disappointing fantasy football player in 2020. Since becoming the latest shiny new car in Tampa Bay's garage, Fournette has turned 69 rushing attempts into 271 yards, 103 of which came in one contest. Despite head coach Bruce Arians' insisting that he wants Ronald Jones II […]

Ronald Jones II A Solid RB2 Against Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II seems to have taken control of his team's backfield once again ahead of a Week 14 matchup with the Vikings. Jones has exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in two of his last three games, including a 198-yard outburst against the Panthers. Oddly enough, he's been out-snapped by teammate […]

Tom Brady A Strong Start Against Vikings

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady faces a favorable matchup in Week 14 against the Vikings. While a bit careless with the football lately, Brady has finished as a QB5 or better in two of his last three games, with at least two pass touchdowns in all three contests. The veteran signal-caller draws a Minnesota […]

Jordan Akins A Streaming Option

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has had a quiet couple of weeks, as he has just 10 yards in his past two games combined. However, a Week 14 matchup with the Bears could be just what the doctor ordered for Akins, as they've allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to the position. Akins […]

Chad Hansen Too Risky Against Chicago

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen enjoyed a career-best performance against the Colts last week, though it's best to approach him cautiously for fantasy purposes. Chicago has been pretty stingy against wideouts and has allowed the 11th-fewest targets to the position. Hansen was a relative unknown before his breakout, so it's reasonable to expect him […]

Keke Coutee Logs Full Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and should be good to go for Sunday's contest with the Bears. Coutee thrived in a full-time starting role last week, playing 75 percent of the snaps and hauling in eight of a team-high nine targets for 141 yards. Chicago has allowed the […]

Brandin Cooks Limited Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) got in another limited session on Thursday ahead of a Week 14 matchup with the Bears. As long as Cooks doesn't suffer a setback, he'll be out there for the contest. He saw eight targets in his first game sans Will Fuller V (suspension) and managed to […]

David Johnson A Low-End RB2 In Week 14

Houston Texans running back David Johnson takes on the Bears in Week 14 after making his return to the field last week. Johnson saw a similar number of touches as fellow back Duke Johnson, though that's a trend that shouldn't be expected to continue in Week 14. When David Johnson was fully healthy and the […]

Deshaun Watson A Top-12 Option Against Bears

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson gets a favorable matchup against the Bears Defense in Week 14. Chicago has allowed at least two touchdown passes to opposing signal-callers in each of their last six games and has been particularly giving lately, with 613 passing yards and seven scores allowed since their Week 11 bye. Enter Watson, […]

Chris Godwin Misses Practice Tuesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (finger) missed practice on Tuesday. The star wideout had a procedure done to remove pins from the left index finger that he broke against the Raiders back in Week 7. Godwin was able to tough it out after missing just one contest and has produced ably for his […]

Hayden Hurst Held To One Catch By Saints

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst caught just one of four targets for nine receiving yards in a loss to New Orleans. After putting up a goose egg against the Saints earlier this year, Hurst was again stymied by their defense. While it's disappointing to see him produce so little, it's worth noting that the […]

Russell Gage Hauls In Garbage Time Score

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage was having a relatively quiet day for fantasy purposes until the fourth quarter of a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Gage grabbed a 10-yard touchdown catch with 7:43 left to go in the game, solidifying a 4-50-1 line on eight targets. The 24-year-old seems to benefit when the Falcons […]

Calvin Ridley Paces Team In Receiving Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley hauled in five of 10 targets for a team-high 108 receiving yards in a losing effort. Ridley's 108 yards were his highest total since Week 5, as he saw at least nine targets for the third straight game. The 25-year-old made a tremendous, outstretched grab late in the first […]

Julio Jones Ties For Team Lead In Targets

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones caught six of 10 targets for 94 yards in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Jones was questionable heading into the contest, though he toughed out the injury to post his fifth game with at least 90 receiving yards this year. The All-Pro wideout has at least seven targets […]

Todd Gurley II Stymied By New Orleans

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II carried the ball eight times for 16 rushing yards and caught one pass for four yards in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Gurley was banged up with a knee injury heading into the contest and was clearly held back, as the coaching staff opted for a running […]

Matt Ryan Has Quiet Day In Loss To Saints

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 19 of 39 passes for 273 yards and one touchdown in a 21-16 loss to the Saints. Ryan got his favorite target back in Julio Jones but was unable to get much going until he salvaged his day with a late, fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Russell Gage. In Ryan's […]

Jordan Akins Disappoints Against Colts

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins had another disappointing game in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Akins caught two of three targets for 10 yards in a game where the Texans were behind. It's disappointing that the big tight end wasn't able to do more in a good game script for his fantasy outlook, […]

Chad Hansen Has Career Day In Week 13 Loss

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen caught five of seven targets for 101 receiving yards in a Week 13 loss. Hansen got the nod when Isaiah Coulter, who was expected to start, was a surprise inactive. The former Cal product made the most of his opportunity, as the 101 yards were by far a career-high. […]

Brandin Cooks Posts 65 Receiving Yards, Returns After Injury

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks hauled in five of eight targets for 65 receiving yards in a losing effort against Indianapolis. Cooks finished second in targets to teammate Keke Coutee in what turned out to be a solid, yet scary, day for his fantasy managers. Cooks left the game at one point to be […]

Keke Coutee Explodes For Career-High 141 Yards

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee caught eight of nine targets for a career-high 141 receiving yards in a 26-20 loss to the Colts. Coutee took full advantage of Will Fuller V's absence, as he led the team in targets, catches, and receiving yards in what turned out to be a career day. The big […]

Duke Johnson Tallies Six Receptions In Losing Effort

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson remained involved in the offense despite the return of fellow back David Johnson. Duke Johnson played 55 percent of the snaps compared to his fellow back's 57 and turned eight touches into 32 yards. His six receptions were second on the team and more than he had in any […]

David Johnson Finds End Zone In Return

Houston Texans running back David Johnson carried the ball 10 times for 44 rushing yards and a touchdown in a 26-20 loss to the Colts. Johnson didn't run badly against a tough Indianapolis front, though the Texans had to go pass-heavy when they found themselves down against their division rival. Houston eased Johnson back into […]

Deshaun Watson Accounts For 379 Total Yards, One Score

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson completed 26 of 38 passes for 341 yards and an interception in the 26-20 loss to the Colts. Watson added 38 rushing yards, two fumbles, and a score, as he kept the Texans in the game throughout. The star signal-caller was scrambling around all day- his day could be summed […]

Julian Edelman Still A Couple Weeks Away

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, COVID-19) is still "a couple of weeks away" from returning, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Edelman was placed on Injured Reserve after undergoing a knee procedure, but the veteran receiver was also recently placed on the COVID/Reserve list. While there are still hurdles for Edelman to clear, […]
