Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith played well in Pittsburgh, but didn’t light up the scoreboard for fantasy managers. Smith went 31-for-46 passing for 296 yards and a touchdown and didn’t turn the ball over while knocking off the previously undefeated Steelers. It was the exact game the Football Team needed from their QB, but even in a good game fantasy managers can’t expect much

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson turned in a solid game in a 23-17 loss to the Washington Football Team in Week 13. Johnson led the team with 12 targets, catching eight of them for 71 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The second-year wideout came through for fantasy managers in what was a tough matchup against the Washington secondary. Johnson continues to be

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas played the game of his career Monday night in an upset win against the Steelers. Thomas made a career-high nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown. It seemed every time you looked No. 82 was doing something to help the team whether it was his fourth-quarter touchdown to tie the game, or diving on a fumble that

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. disappointed in a 23-17 loss to the Washington Football Team in Week 13. Expected to operate as the team’s lead back, Snell wound up splitting carries with rookie Anthony McFarland Jr. He finished the game with just five yards on eight carries while adding another two catches for five yards. To make matters worse, Snell was unable to

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and his team took their first loss of the season in Week 13 as the Washington Football Team beat them 23-17. Roethlisberger completed 33 of 53 passes for 305 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the loss. He got off to a fast start, throwing both of his touchdown passes in the second quarter but the Steelers were only

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgeraldhas been out of the mix since Week 11 after testing positive for COVID-19, and head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that the team is hoping to have the veteran back on the field “soon.” Despite not having hauled in a touchdown yet during 2020, Fitzgerald has been an integral cog in the Cardinals offense, especially as a blocking receiver.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs) is eligible to return to action as soon as Sunday’s game versus Philadelphia, but per head coach Sean Payton, the likely future Hall of Famer is still without a timetable to take the field. Payton noted that Brees will continue his rehab, although that does not necessarily indicate he’ll be ready to play in less than a week.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral) has been activated from Injured Reserve, paving the way for him to take the field for Monday’s contest against San Francisco. Milano has totaled 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks in five games (three starts) this year and is expected to reprise his role as tackling extraordinaire for the Bills Defense. Last season, Milano compiled 101 tackles, with his return

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (knee) missed his first game of the season during Sunday’s win over the Jets, and per head coach Jon Gruden, it looks like the knee injury is expected to create a multi-game absence for Jacobs, knocking him out next Sunday versus the Colts. Fortunately, Gruden’s statement was made early enough in the week that Jacobs will be able

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) was listed as a limited practice participant had there been an on-field practice Monday. Newton was originally questionable to play during Sunday’s win over the Chargers, but was able to suit up, meaning that his placement back on the injury report is likely maintenance-related. The Patriots have just three days to prepare for the Rams on Thursday, making

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) will not return for the second half of Monday’s game against the Steelers due to a toe injury that he sustained earlier in the contest. Gibson carried the ball twice for 14 yards prior to his departure. While J.D. McKissic has been often utilized alongside Gibson, Peyton Barber appears to have taken over primary ball-carrying duties in

San Francisco 49ers cornerbacks Emmanuel Moseley (hamstring) and K’Waun Williams (ankle) have been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Bills, creating a chasm in the team’s secondary when it comes to covering the slot. Moseley has been an integral member of the 49ers Defense in 2020, starting eight games and accruing 46 tackles with eight passes defended. Williams has not suited up since Week

Cincinnati Bengals safety Shawn Williams and Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Teair Tart were both tagged with a one-game suspension Monday following incidents in Week 13 which involved both players stepping on an opponent. Both players are reportedly expected to appeal their suspensions, although neither has played a consistently vital role in their respective defensive units during 2020. The Bengals Defense holds some of the smallest

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft was deemed inactive Monday against San Francisco, marking the second consecutive week that he has been a healthy scratch. Kroft, despite having accrued three touchdowns this season, has not suited up since Week 9; his absence leaves the door open for Dawson Knox to be a considerable pass-catching threat for Buffalo. With just Knox and Lee Smith available at

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) delivered the breakout performance of his rookie season Sunday against the Cardinals, but he has now popped up on the injury report for Week 14 due to a shoulder ailment. With the Rams set for a short week ahead of a clash Thursday against New England, the team released an estimated practice report Monday, one which featured

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has found the end zone in each of his two contests since returning from a foot injury, but head coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Carson was still not 100 percent back. Carson saw both a bump in usage and snap count during Sunday’s loss to the Giants, but it’s Seattle’s hope that it will be able to deploy

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick scored the team’s only two touchdowns in the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night. Patrick was efficient, too, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards. The 27-year-old has been a nice story for the Broncos this year as their most reliable pass-catcher to help fill the void from Courtland Sutton‘s (knee) season-ending injury. Patrick

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant led the team with 57 receiving yards by catching four of his team-leading seven targets in the 22-16 Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs. While Fant’s fantasy managers would’ve liked more, it was his second time going over 50 receiving yards in the last three games. The second-year tight end hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 2 against

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay has been dropped in most fantasy leagues as the second fiddle to Melvin Gordon III in Denver’s backfield. Lindsay saw double-digit carries (14) for just the third time this year in the Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs, but he totaled only 26 rushing yards (1.86 yards per tote) and failed to haul in his only target in

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III looked excellent in the 22-16 loss to the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. Gordon carried the ball 15 times for a season-high 131 rushing yards (8.73 yards per attempt) while also adding one catch for 11 yards. It was a great performance and allowed Denver to keep Patrick Mahomes off the field for long stretches
