Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock returned to action in Week 13 against the Chiefs on Sunday night after sitting out in Week 12 due to COVID-19 protocols. Lock did throw two touchdown passes in the 22-16 loss, but he was 15-for-28 for 151 yards and two more interceptions. It was the first time he’s been under 200 yards passing since Week 6 against the Patriots,

The Baltimore Ravens activated quarterback Lamar Jackson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he will play on Tuesday against the Cowboys. This comes as music to fantasy managers’ ears if you were planning on using Jackson as your QB for the Week 13 slate of games. With Robert Griffin III (hamstring) going on Injured Reserve last week, Trace McSorley will serve as Jackson’s backup

The Las Vegas Raiders are activating offensive tackle Trent Brown from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, the team is releasing defensive tackle Daniel Ross, with plans to put Ross on the practice squad in order to have him active on game day. Brown has missed the last few games after being put on the COVID-19 list for

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is expected to return in Week 14 against the Broncos after having the bye week to rest up, according to head coach Matt Rhule. McCaffrey missed the last three games with the shoulder ailment but should be pretty close to 100 percent healthy this weekend against Denver. It’s perfect timing, really, as fantasy managers that made it to

The Carolina Panthers have placed eight players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after coming off their bye week, and wide receiver Curtis Samuel is one of them. Samuel was deemed a high-risk close contact, so he’ll have to test negative this week in order to be cleared to play in Week 14 against the Broncos. Carolina could be down to Robby Anderson, Pharoh Cooper

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are waiving wide receiver/kick returner Jaydon Mickens on Monday, according to a source. Mickens has been productive for the team this year, catching seven passes and returning 21 kicks/punts. The 26-year-old hasn’t played since Week 9, though, and had just 58 receiving yards on his seven receptions this season. Mickens didn’t play at all in 2019 and has only 13 catches

The Los Angeles Chargers were shut out in their Week 13 loss to the Patriots, but no head-coaching change is imminent, according to sources. The organization has a lot of respect for head coach Anthony Lynn and would prefer to evaluate everything at the end of the season. Lynn led the Bolts to an AFC-best 12-4 record in 2018, but things have fallen apart in

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is among the players being added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list with the team coming off their bye week, according to a source informed of the situation. It’s unknown if Moore tested positive for the virus or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact to someone who did. Regardless, his availability for Week 14 against the Broncos is in

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said the team will give quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) “every opportunity” to play in Week 14 against the Cardinals. There is optimism in the organization that Jones will be able to return after missing the Week 13 upset win over the Seahawks. Backup Colt McCoy effectively played the role of game manager against Seattle, going 13-for-22 for 105

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (knee) left the team’s Week 13 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he’s not believed to have suffered a serious injury, according to a source. It’s good news for an Eagles secondary that will have a tall task against the Saints in Week 14. If Slay can get in some practice time this week, he’ll likely be

The New York Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Monday, according to sources. It comes a day after Williams called a zero blitz against the Raiders in a hail-mary situation with the game on the line in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. That play call backfired catastrophically, as the Raiders threw a deep bomb down the field to win the game and

The preliminary diagnosis on Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Le’Raven Clark (Achilles) is that he suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 13 win over the Texans, according to a source. Clark will have an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. It would be a big loss for the team’s offensive line, as Clark was filling in at left tackle with Anthony Castonzo (knee)

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that he hasn’t decided on the team’s starting quarterback for Week 14 against the Saints after Carson Wentz was benched for rookie Jalen Hurts in the Week 13 loss to the Packers. Wentz went 6-for-15 for 79 yards while running the ball three times for 18 yards before being replaced by Hurts in the third quarter.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis hauled in 11 receptions on 12 targets for 182 yards and a touchdown in Week 13 against the Browns. Davis was one of the few bright spots for the Titans as their offense failed to get going outside of his individual effort. With A.J. Brown and Derrick Henry requiring the majority of opposing defenses’ focus, Davis has managed to

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker was a perfect 5-for-5 with one extra-point against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Butker has now been successful on 22 field goals in 24 attempts. With the Chiefs having one of the best offenses in the league, Butker remains a valuable option at the kicker position. Source: NFL.com

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins caught four of his six targets for 35 yards against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. It was the second game back for Watkins, but he saw the third most targets for the Chiefs. Watkins is valuable because he is a member of such an explosive offense, but he is also an inconsistent option because of that and

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett hasn’t been the best fantasy option this season, but he put up a decent performance in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. He caught six of his seven targets for 44 yards on the afternoon. In the world of fantasy, you’ll take that all day long for a streaming tight end because of the lack of elite performers

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire was active in Week 13, but didn’t play. The rookie was dealing with an illness prior to Sunday’s game and coach Andy Reid said that the rookie lost some weight this week due to his stomach illness. Le’Veon Bell led the Chiefs backfield on Sunday with Darrel Williams also seeing some snaps. Managers should expect CEH to

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been a disappointment for fantasy managers after the heavy investment that many used to acquire him in drafts before the season, but he put up a decent performance in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. He caught four of his six targets for 24 yards and a touchdown. As we’ve seen from him all year, in order

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp was coming off of his worst performance in Week 12, but he had a much better outing in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. He caught eight of his nine targets for 73 yards on the day. Teammate Robert Woods maintained the lead in targets, but neither of them scored a touchdown. Kupp has generally been a safe
