Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will try and save the Bears season in Week 13 against the Lions. The Bears have lost five in a row but having the Lions on the schedule next may be just the panacea that they need. The Lions are allowing the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing passers this season but were torched by the Texans Deshaun Watson last

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will start again in Week 13 against the Lions. Trubisky got the start in the Week 12 loss to the Packers, his first since being benched in Week 3, and he went 26-for-46 for 242 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions. He was sacked three times, fumbled three times and lost one of those

The Denver Broncos claimed defensive back Will Parks off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday, according to a source. Parks signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia in the offseason and was expected to replace Malcolm Jenkins at safety, but he failed to make an impact in six games (three starts), recording just 13 tackles. He’ll reunite with the Broncos, who drafted him in the sixth

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that offensive tackle Trent Brown returned to practice on Wednesday after missing extended time after testing positive for COVID-19. Cornerback Lamarcus Joyner and defensive end Clelin Ferrell also practiced Wednesday. Brown has played in just two games this season for the Raiders and hasn’t been on the field since Week 5. Along with his COVID-19 scare, the

The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive tackle Maliek Collins (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. According to Pro Football Focus, Collins is the lowest-graded defensive tackle in the NFL and he’s the second-lowest graded run defender in 2020. He’s failed to record a single sack in his first year with the Raiders after being one of the more underrated defensive tackles in the league when

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) has an outside chance to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks, but he didn’t practice on Wednesday. Jones is becoming more of a long shot to play this weekend, but he could be questionable if he can get in some limited practice work later this week. Fantasy managers shouldn’t be counting on Jones for their Week 13

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are not active for Wednesday’s game against the Steelers despite being eligible to return from the COVID-19 list. Dobbins and Ingram didn’t travel with the team on Tuesday night because it was the final day of their 10-day quarantine after testing positive for the virus. They haven’t been put on the active roster and neither

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook‘s (ankle) “health is fine” after offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said that Cook is “beat up.” Cook is averaging almost 25 touches per game and has played 64.7 percent of the offensive snaps this year, ranking second in the NFL in total rushing attempts (219). He’s second in the league in rushing yards, and he

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) took part in the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday and was wearing black tape around his left wrist and lower part of his left thumb. Tagovailoa missed the Week 12 win over the Jets after jamming his thumb in practice last week. Miami is being cautious with their franchise QB, but it looks like

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that quarterback Colt McCoy will see the majority of the first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday, with some also going to Clayton Thorson. Daniel Jones (hamstring) is recovering from a hamstring injury he suffered in the Week 12 win over the Bengals and is not expected to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks. All signs are

The Philadelphia Eagles activated tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) off Injured Reserve on Wednesday and activated wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside off the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) was also put on IR. Ertz has missed the last five games with a high-ankle sprain, but he’s been practicing the last two weeks. The Eagles are likely to favor 12 and 13 personnel groupings with

The Indianapolis Colts activated rookie running back Jonathan Taylor from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and he will practice on Wednesday. Taylor missed the 45-26 Week 12 loss to the Titans after testing positive for the virus. The rookie leads the team with 135 carries for 518 rushing yards and four touchdowns in 2020. In his last appearance against Green Bay in Week 11, Taylor had 22

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed center Maurkice Pouncey on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, according to a source. It’s unclear if Pouncey actually tested positive for COVID-19, but either way he will be out for the game against the Ravens. Running back Wendell Smallwood and offensive lineman Anthony Coyle have been elevated to the game-day roster as COVID-19 replacements. Despite Pouncey going on the list, the

The Minnesota Vikings activated wide receiver Adam Thielen from the COVID-19 list, and he will practice on Wednesday. Thielen tested positive for the virus last week and was forced to sit out of the Week 12 win over the Panthers. He should be good to go for a juicy Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars Defense, a unit that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points

The Chicago Bears Defense failed to record a single QB hit on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the Week 12 blowout loss to their division rivals, and All-Pro pass-rusher Khalil Mack has failed to record a single QB pressure in two of his last three games. Mack is tied for 15th in the NFL with 6.5 sacks and ranks as Pro Football Focus’ second-best edge

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Golladay was injured in Week 8 against the Colts and hasn’t played since, and he’s not off to a good start this week if he hopes to suit up in Week 13 against the Bears. At this point, fantasy managers can’t count on the Lions No. 1 receiver being available for their

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot), who hasn’t played since suffering a broken bone in his right foot in Week 8, expects to return sooner than later. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is hopeful that Kittle will be available for the final couple of games of the season. “They said eight weeks; I said six,” said Kittle. “And I’m excited. These last couple days

The Detroit Lions placed cornerback Desmond Trufant (hamstring) and defensive tackle Danny Shelton (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, which could potentially end their season. They’ll be forced to miss at least the next three games, with only five games remaining in the 2020 season. Only Romeo Okwara played more defensive snaps this year than Shelton, so it’s a big loss for Detroit’s defensive line,

Los Angeles Chargers backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor will not file a grievance against the team after suffering a punctured lung during a pain-killing shot mishap before the Week 2 game on Sept. 20 that forced him to miss games earlier this season. The NFL Players Association is still reviewing the matter, and Taylor and the NFLPA had 60 days to inform the team of their

The Buffalo Bills signed wide receiver Jake Kumerow to the active roster from the practice squad on Wednesday and designated Tyrel Dodson and Matt Milano to return to practice. Kumerow is providing depth for Buffalo’s receiving room with John Brown on Injured Reserve. The 28-year-old wideout caught 20 passes for 322 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons with the Packers, and he
