Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn’t attempt a single field goal in the Week 14 win over the Panthers, and he missed two of his four extra-point attempts as well to leave his fantasy managers pretty disappointed in a game in which quarterback Drew Lock threw four touchdown passes. The theme of the 29-year-old not seeing much action in the kicking game continued on Sunday,

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (illness) was forced to leave the Week 14 game against the Panthers with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Unfortunately for his fantasy managers, he was unable to return to the game. In his stead, Nick Vannett and Troy Fumagalli stepped in to combine for eight receptions, 73 yards and a touchdown, which was scored by Vannett. It’s unclear if the illness

Denver Broncos tight end Nick Vannett caught his first touchdown pass of the season in the 32-27 Week 14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Vannett was targeted four times in the game and caught all four for 20 yards and the score. Both he and Troy Fumagalli were forced to step in with Noah Fant leaving the game due to an illness. Fumagalli caught

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick found the end zone for the third time in the last two games in the Week 14 win over the Panthers. The 27-year-old caught three of his five targets in the game for 36 yards and one touchdown. He continues to be a reliable red-zone weapon for quarterback Drew Lock with six touchdowns on the season. While Patrick isn’t

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was the team’s second-best rookie pass-catcher in the 32-27 victory over the Panthers in Week 15. Although Jeudy saw one more target than K.J. Hamler, Hamler had the bigger day with a team-high 86 receiving yards and two long touchdowns. Jeudy caught two of his four targets for 42 receiving yards against Carolina. The Alabama wideout hasn’t gone

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler had by far the best game of his first season in the NFL in Week 14 against the Panthers. Hamler caught two of his three targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns in the 32-27 victory. The three targets were nothing special, but the Penn State product made the most of his limited opportunities on Sunday and showed

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring), who left the Week 14 loss to the Chiefs early, is considered week-to-week, according to a source. Grant’s status for Week 15 against the Patriots is very questionable, at best. It sounds like he’s more doubtful than anything for this weekend’s game, so fantasy managers should be prepared to be without him. DeVante Parker was also injured

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III‘s DUI case has been continued to Jan. 14, so he will be available to play in the team’s final three games of the regular season. Gordon was arrested on Oct. 13 for DUI and was also cited for speeding, and he could still face discipline from the league in the 2021 season. Last year, Broncos safety Kareem Jackson

Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the team will not be making a change with head coach Mike McCarthy. “There will be absolutely no change with Mike McCarthy. I am surprised someone would question (that). … We have the utmost confidence this ship is going to be righted quickly,” Jones said. Owner Jerry Jones said earlier this year that the team wouldn’t

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that quarterback Gardner Minshew II will start in Week 15 against the Ravens. The Mike Glennon experiment is over, at least for the time being, after he went 13-for-23 for just 85 yards and an interception in the Week 14 loss to the Titans before being benched. Minshew Mania probably gives the Jags their best chance of winning,

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay continued to split the backfield workload almost evenly with Melvin Gordon III in the 32-27 Week 14 win over the Panthers on Sunday. Lindsay carried the ball 11 times for just 24 yards (2.2 yards per carry). He also caught both of his targets in the passing game for seven yards. The 26-year-old had just two fewer carries than

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (shoulder) injured his shoulder in the Week 14 win over the Panthers, but the severity of the injury is unknown. The 27-year-old had 13 carries on the day for 68 yards (5.2 yards per carry), and he also added three catches on three targets for an extra 23 yards. Fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock had his best game of the 2020 season in the Week 14 win over the Panthers, throwing for 280 yards on 21-for-27 passing for a season-high four touchdowns in the 32-27 win. It was his first game without an interception since Week 2 against the Steelers, snapping a string of seven straight weeks with an interception. Lock also ran the

Houston Texans wide receiver Randall Cobb (toe) is likely to miss the rest of the season, according to interim head coach Romeo Crennel. Cobb suffered a toe injury and was placed on injured reserve in Week 11, though it was initially thought that he’d have a chance to return to the field. That doesn’t appear to be the case, which is unfortunate considering the Texans

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is expected to come off the Reserve/COVID-19 list in time for the team’s Week 15 game against the Packers on Saturday. Moore tested positive for the virus last week and missed the Week 14 loss to the Broncos, but fantasy managers should have him available for this weekend’s game. The 23-year-old will be a bit more risky as a

The Carolina Panthers are hoping that running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps) will practice on Tuesday with a chance to play in Week 15 on Saturday against the Packers, according to a source. At this time, no one is assuming anything with McCaffrey after he has missed the last four games with shoulder and quad injuries. The 24-year-old All-Pro is still planning to play in 2020,

Philadelphia Eagles safety Rodney McLeod (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 14 upset win over the Saints on Sunday and will miss the rest of the 2020 season. McLeod returned to the Eagles this offseason and the team departed with Malcolm Jenkins instead. The 30-year-old had another major knee injury in 2018, which limited him to just three games that year. McLeod was

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will make his second career start in Week 15 against the Cardinals after leading the team to an upset win over the Saints in his first career NFL start on Sunday. Hurts completed only 56 percent of his passes and averaged 5.6 yards per completion through the air, but his legs were the story, running the ball 18 times

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) pulled up and grabbed his leg in the Week 14 win over the Dolphins, but it was just a cramp and he should be fine for Week 15 against the Saints. After a down week against the Broncos in Week 13, Hill bounced back for his fantasy managers, scoring twice while catching three passes for 79 yards.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Saivion Smith (hand), who impressed in coverage in the Week 14 win over the Bengals, suffered a broken hand midway through the game but came back in and played, according to a source. Smith may not miss the Week 15 contest against the 49ers. The 23-year-old went undrafted in 2019 before latching on with the Jaguars and then the Cowboys. In the
