Deeper League Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 12

As the playoff race begins to heat up (both in the NFL and your fantasy league), depth will be crucial given the number of players getting injured or being put on the COVID list. Depth is what will help you weather any unexpected setbacks on your roster and any surprising performance could be the game-changer […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 is largely in the books with some nailbiter finishes and standout performances that will shape the stretch run. The injury headlines are dominated by Joe Burrow's suspected ACL tear, but we also saw La'Mical Perine and Rex Burkhead leave with knee injuries as well. And now J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are […]

Week 11 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Week 11 was an odd one for quarterbacks. The Patriots Defense stifled Lamar Jackson in Week 10 and followed that up by allowing Deshaun Watson to finish as the No. 1 quarterback on the week. Taysom Hill, Kirk Cousins, Philip Rivers and Andy Dalton were the unfamiliar names that found themselves inside the top-10 this week. […]

Matthew Stafford Vows To Play Better

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford will try and step up his game to kick off Week 12 when the team hosts their annual Thanksgiving game against the Texans on Thursday. The veteran passer has been dealing with torn ligaments in his throwing thumb but told reporters, "Obviously, I can play better, I'm the guy that […]

Andy Dalton Back To Fantasy Relevance

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton struggled mightily earlier in the season when he first replaced injured starter Dak Prescott (ankle), but after missing time due to a concussion and with COVID-19, Dalton looked the part of an NFL starting quarterback in Week 11. For Week 12, Dalton and the Cowboys get a Thanksgiving Day matchup […]

Ryan Tannehill Faces Tough Colts Team In Week 12

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill boasts an impressive 22:4 touchdown-to-interception ratio this season and a 44:10 mark in his time with the Titans, but Week 12 presents a difficult rematch against a Colts Defense that held him to 147 yards and a touchdown two weeks ago. The Colts have given up the third-fewest points to […]

Laremy Tunsil Expected Back Tuesday

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil is expected back at the team's facility on Tuesday after he was inactive in the Week 11 win over the Patriots with a non-COVID-19 illness. Tunsil was battling the flu last week and didn't feel well enough to suit up. It's no guarantee that he'll be ready for Thursday's […]

Kyler Murray, DeAndre Hopkins Sit Out Tuesday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was seen rehabbing on the side and not working during the period of practice open to the media on Tuesday. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was also not present. Murray tweaked his shoulder in last week's loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine for […]

Ravens Dealing With COVID-19 Outbreak

The Baltimore Ravens have had five players and four staffers test positive for COVID-19 this week, according to sources. The game on Thanksgiving on Thursday night against the division-rival Steelers is still on, but a source warned that more positives could mean postponing it. It's unclear if the game would be pushed back to the […]

Tom Brady Struggling With Deep Ball Of Late

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is 0-for-19 on deep passes 20-plus air yards down the field in his last four games with a 0.0 passer rating. From Weeks 1-7 on deep passes, Brady was 14-for-39 (35.9 completion percentage) with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 101.2. The future Hall of […]

Lamar Jackson A Risky Option On Thanksgiving

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may have his hands full against Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The third-year signal-caller had a rough go against the smothering Steelers Defense just a few weeks ago, finishing with 208 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions to go along with a miserable 46.4 completion percentage. The 23-year-old may put up […]

Joe Burrow Has A Chance To Play In 2021

The Cincinnati Bengals and doctors were encouraged by what they saw in the imaging of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow's knee after he tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee in the Week 11 loss to the Washington Football Team. Burrow is obviously dealing with a multi-ligament injury, but they are optimistic about the […]

Daniel Jones (QB, NYG) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Daniel Jones is coming off New York's bye week. More important, though, is the fact that Jones is coming off his best fantasy game of the season. The last time we saw Jones two weeks ago facing the Eagles, he put on a […]

Jared Goff Lights It Up In Week 11

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff saw a terrible matchup in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, but he shrugged it off in a big way. He finished the game 39 of 51 for 376 yards to go with three touchdowns and two interceptions. He finished as the QB4 on the week […]

Tom Brady Tosses For 216 Yards Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 26-for-48 for 216 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in Week 11. Brady struggled most of the game against a powerful Rams Defense and thus had a bit of an off-day. Nevertheless, the QB should remain in the low-end QB1 tier going forward as he has also had […]

Trent Williams Tests Positive For COVID-19

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams tested positive for COVID-19 last week and has landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list along with eight of his teammates. Williams, who is considered a high-risk individual after a fight with cancer, said he was feeling OK and expects to recover. It's unknown if the blind-side protector for quarterback […]

Jets Release Mike White

Despite New York Jets head coach Adam Gase all but saying that 2020 fourth-round pick James Morgan is essentially getting a redshirt year as a rookie, the organization made the call Monday to release quarterback Mike White, who had been serving as Joe Flacco's backup. While Sam Darnold (shoulder) continues to battle injuries, Morgan may […]

Miami Adds Jesse Davis To COVID-19 List

Miami Dolphins offensive lineman Jesse Davis has been placed on the COVID-19 list on Monday and will reportedly not be available for Sunday's game versus the Jets. Players do not have to test positive to be added to the list. Davis' absence likely means that Rob Hunt will slide over to man the right tackle […]

Sam Darnold Set To Practice Wednesday; Week 12 Status Unknown

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) continues to work his way back from a shoulder injury, with the expectation that he can return to practice Wednesday. Darnold has expressed some optimism that his shoulder has improved with the time off, although how aggressive the Jets will be in rushing their young QB onto the […]

Ben Roethlisberger Headlines Steelers Monday Practice Absences

The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Ravens on Thanksgiving, thereby giving them just three days of rest between their Week 11 and 12 contests. If the estimated practice attendance for Monday is any indication, they may be at far less than 100 percent for that contest. A whopping 15 players were listed as not practicing […]

Monday Night Football DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Bucs vs. Rams

Dolphins Still Have Confidence In Tua Tagovailoa

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains the team's starting quarterback despite being benched in the fourth quarter in the Week 11 loss to the Broncos. "He's a talented player. He's a young player," Flores said. "He's a developing player. We have a lot of confidence in him. That's […]

Nick Foles, Mitchell Trubisky Still Dealing With Injuries

Chicago Bears quarterbacks Nick Foles (hip) and Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) are still dealing with injuries, and head coach Matt Nagy has declined to name a starter for Week 12 against the division-rival Packers, saying that a quarterback change is still "on the table." Foles didn't suffer a major hip injury in last Monday night's loss […]

Joe Burrow Has More Damage In Knee

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow's (knee) MRI exam revealed that he tore his ACL, MCL and suffered other structural issues to his left knee in the Week 11 loss to the Washington Football Team. Burrow will undergo season-ending reconstructive surgery on his knee and could be out anywhere from nine to 12 months, which […]

Drew Lock Does Very Little In Win Over Dolphins

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was 18-for-30 for 270 yards passing, no touchdowns and one interception in the Week 11 win over the Dolphins. He added two carries for 23 yards on the ground. The Broncos played with positive game script all day, meaning that Lock didn't need to attempt 40-plus passes for the first […]

Kirk Cousins (QB, MIN) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 42% of Leagues ANALYSIS: For someone who has dropped below 14 FP just twice this season, and below 10 just once, finding Cousins available in more than half of Yahoo! leagues is a little incredible. Oh, and it is not that Kirk Cousins is averaging just those […]

Derek Carr (QB, LV) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It wouldn't be smart trying to sell Carr for what he's not: a weekly fantasy winner. Although Carr's start to the season was impressive, with five straight 15+ FP performances in the span going from Week 2 to Week 7, he later proceeded […]
