Matt Ryan A Low-End QB1 Against Raiders

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is a low-end QB1 against the Raiders this weekend. Ryan has been a bit streaky this season and posted 232 yards and two picks last week. Overall, he has thrown for over 300 yards in only three of 10 games this season and only has four games with multiple passing […]

Sam Darnold Back At Practice

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) was expected to be a limited practice participant on Wednesday in his return, with head coach Adam Gase saying Darnold will do "quite a bit." Darnold has missed the last two games with a right shoulder injury, but his return to practice bodes well for his chances of […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Still On Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) sat out. Murray suffered the shoulder injury in last Thursday's loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine to face the Patriots in Week 12. Hopkins is dealing with a non-COVID-19-related […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited In Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) was limited in Wednesday's practice with a left thumb injury. Tagovailoa jammed his left thumb on a helmet in practice, but early indications are that it's nothing serious. The Alabama product struggled mightily for the first time in four starts against the Broncos last week and was benched […]

Carson Wentz Has An Excellent Week 12 Matchup

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has been anything but good on the field this season, but he's still been the 14th-best quarterback in standard-scoring fantasy formats. He's thrown two or more touchdowns in five of the past six games and is always a threat to score on the ground. He certainly hasn't been a great […]

Mitchell Trubisky May Have Inside Track To Start In Week 12

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky may have the inside track to start in Week 12 against the Packers, according to Chicago Tribune beat writer Brad Biggs. NFL's Ian Rapoport also has recently tweeted that Trubisky's right shoulder is healthier than Nick Foles hip at this time. The Bears season is teetering on disaster and, at […]

Taysom Hill A Low-End QB1 In Week 12

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is a low-end QB1 against the Broncos in Week 12. Hill had an impressive debut as a starter in Week 11, getting 233 passing yards and 10 carries for 49 yards and two touchdowns. His rushing prowess makes him a more valuable fantasy player. The Broncos are middle-tier against […]

Philip Rivers Misses Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) didn't practice on Wednesday, but head coach Frank Reich said Rivers was held out as a precaution and could practice if needed after he bruised his toe in the Week 11 win over the Packers. Thursday is a scheduled off day for the whole team, so the veteran signal-caller […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Tough Task Against Rival Bears

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers will take on a Bears Defense that is allowing the fourth fewest fantasy points to opposing passers this season. Rodgers is having a fantastic season, throwing for 280+ passing yards in seven of his last eight games and has 23 touchdowns during that span. The veteran passer is having […]

Kirk Cousins' Value On The Rise

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins is playing his best football of the season heading into the team's Week 12 matchup against the Panthers. Over his last three games, Cousins has eight touchdown passes and is averaging 275.3 passing yards a game during that span. The Vikings will now face a Panthers Defense that is allowing […]

Teddy Bridgewater Expected To Play In Week 12

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that he expects quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) to play in Week 12 against the Vikings. Bridgewater returned to practice on Wednesday after sitting out in the Week 11 win over the Lions and appears to be on track to return to the starting gig. P.J. Walker took over […]

Christian McCaffrey Not Expected To Play

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule doesn't expect running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) to play in Week 12 against the Vikings. McCaffrey was wearing a non-contact red jersey at practice on Wednesday, but he's been unlikely to play all along this week. The 24-year-old All-Pro will miss his third straight game after coming off a […]

Deshaun Watson A Top-Five Option In Week 12

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson has been an excellent fantasy signal-caller this season. Watson currently sits as the QB6 and aside from a windy, messy game against Cleveland, he's finished as a QB1 in five of his last six games. On the table for Watson is a Thanksgiving matchup with the Lions' 25th-ranked pass defense […]

Ravens-Steelers Game Moved To Sunday

The Baltimore Ravens-Pittsburgh Steelers game previously scheduled for Thursday night on Thanksgiving this week is being postponed to Sunday afternoon. The move was made out of an abundance of caution after the Ravens experienced a COVID-19 outbreak among several players and staff members this week. Running backs Mark Ingram II and rookie J.K. Dobbins both […]

Jaguars Plan To Start Mike Glennon In Week 12

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to start quarterback Mike Glennon in Week 12 against the Browns, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Gardner Minshew II (thumb) is nearing full health, but it will be Glennon over both Minshew and rookie Jake Luton on Sunday against Cleveland. The biggest takeaway here is that the Browns Defense, which […]

Bears Unsure If Nick Foles Will Practice This Week

The Chicago Bears are unsure if quarterback Nick Foles (hip), who is still in some pain, will be able to practice this week and play in Week 12 against the division-rival Packers. If Foles is healthy enough to suit up, he would presumably remain the starter under center. Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) has missed several games […]

Bengals To Start Brandon Allen Against Giants

The Cincinnati Bengals are planning to start quarterback Brandon Allen in Week 12 against the Giants with rookie Joe Burrow (knee) out for the rest of the season, according to sources. Allen was on the practice squad until the other day when he replaced Burrow on the roster. Ryan Finley, who entered the game last […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 11's Studs Turned Duds

As we head into the NFL's premiere showcase, Thanksgiving Thursday, the league standings are a massive quagmire. Week 11 did little to settle things. Miami made up no ground on Buffalo atop the AFC East. In fact, the entire division is on a losing streak. Cleveland is now ahead of Baltimore, yet the point differentials […]

Alex Smith Has Good Matchup On Thanksgiving

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith has played well since taking over for Kyle Allen (ankle) and will look to keep rolling in a solid matchup with the Cowboys. Smith has thrown for 300-plus yards in two of his three starts and should be able to take advantage of a good matchup in Dallas. The […]

Christian McCaffrey, Teddy Bridgewater To Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (knee) are both expected to get in some practice work on Wednesday as the team prepares for Week 12 against the Vikings. McCaffrey is expected to miss another game this weekend. However, Bridgewater is on track to play on Sunday if all goes well […]

Ben Roethlisberger A QB2 Against Baltimore

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will take on the Baltimore Ravens in the Thursday night game on Thanksgiving in Week 12. Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh passing offense has been very pass-heavy of late as he has attempted at least 42 passes in four of his past five games. Baltimore's pass defense has been very average […]

Ben Roethlisberger Makes Limited Return To Practice Tuesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (quad) was able to practice in limited fashion Tuesday, increasing his likelihood of suiting up Thursday against Baltimore. While it never truly appeared in doubt that Roethlisberger would be able to play, the combination of his estimated DNP on Monday and just three days' rest in-between games at least makes […]

FAB Bidding - Week 12 Waiver Wire Targets

We're 11 weeks in and most of us have two or three games left in our fantasy football regular season. Are you cruising to a bye, comfortable enough to look forward a bit, or clawing for those last playoff seeds? With our famous waiver wire pickups list and our weekly waiver wire columns by position, this […]

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

There's no way to sugarcoat it - if you don't have a reliable group of running backs by now, you might be in trouble. The best strategy for playoff hopefuls is to stash high-end backups that could pay off down the stretch. Quarterback and tight end are similarly thin this week but there are plenty […]

The Cut List (Week 12) - Time to Let Go?

As someone who faced Taysom Hill in both of my home leagues this week, I feel for anyone else who wound up in a similar position. I feel worse for the many people who voiced their concerns on this matter via Twitter (some admittedly in more reasonable tones than others) only to be derided or […]

Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers - Week 12

After a slow offensive Week 10, several quarterbacks were able to find success again heading into Week 11. There weren’t many big yardage performances with only five quarterbacks exceeding 300 yards passing (led by rookie sensation Justin Herbert), but numerous quarterbacks had no problem finding the end zone through the air. Five quarterbacks passed for […]
