Mark Andrews Tests Positive For COVID-19

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (COVID-19) has tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed on the Reserve list. Andrews is the 11th Ravens player to go on the Reserve/COVID list over the past week, with pass-rusher Matt Judon also testing positive for the virus. The Ravens’ star tight end is a Type 1 diabetic, so here’s to hoping for a full recovery by the

Jalen Hurts To See Increased Playing Time

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to see more playing time on Monday night against the Seahawks. Carson Wentz is still the Eagles’ starter- though they intend to use Hurts for plays at a time in an attempt to spark an offense that ranks 26th in yards and 24th in points scored. It’s anyone’s guess as to how the snaps will play out, but

Clelin Ferrell Has Chance To Return

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Clelin Ferrell (COVID-19) has a chance to return to the field on Sunday after missing his team’s Week 11 game. The team will see how he feels in the hours before kickoff. Ferrell had started every game this year before testing positive for the virus, compiling 19 tackles and seven quarterback hits. The pass-rusher is off the IDP radar at

Kalen Ballage Not Expected To Play Against Bills

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle, calf) is not expected to play against the Bills In Week 12. Ballage was listed as questionable and is a game-time decision, though it appears he is on the wrong side of that designation. This coincides with the news that Austin Ekeler (hamstring) was activated and is expected to make his return to the field. While the

Ravens-Steelers Game Still On For Tuesday

The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are still expected to take the field on Tuesday for their Week 12 game. Twice postponed already due to the number of positive COVID-19 tests, the status of the game was very much in doubt. However, with no new positive tests on Saturday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the league intends to have this game played. It makes sense

Julio Jones Not Expected To Suit Up, Hayden Hurst Likely To Play

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is not expected to play against the Raiders in Week 12. Meanwhile, tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) is on track to suit up for the contest. Jones will test his ailing hamstring out in the pre-game, though it’s certainly not looking good after a ‘DNP’ in Friday’s practice. Hurst was able to get a limited session in on

Kendall Hinton Will Likely See QB Work Over Royce Freeman

That’s a weird headline, huh? The entire Denver Broncos quarterback unit is on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday’s game against the Saints. There was speculation running back Royce Freeman would be the emergency quarterback, but it looks like it will be practice squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton, who played some quarterback at Wake Forest. He wasn’t particularly good there, but considering he was

Tyler Boyd Should Be Safe From QB Change

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be the only pass-catcher in Cincy to not be too negatively impacted by the team’s move to Brandon Allen at quarterback. Last year, Boyd managed to finish with 90 catches for 1,046 yards while playing with Andy Dalton and Ryan Finley at quarterback, so Boyd doesn’t need Andy Dalton to produce. He’s a solid WR2/3 play with a

Tee Higgins Could Struggle With Quarterback Change

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins has been playing some solid football, but he should see a downgrade in value as the team moves to Brandon Allen at quarterback with Joe Burrow (knee) out. We expect the Bengals to lean more on their veteran options this week, so even though Higgins has nine or more targets in three consecutive games, this might look more

Expect Plenty Of James Robinson Carries In Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson continues to be one of the biggest workhorse backs in the NFL this season. He’s seen 17 or more carries in four consecutive games, with at least 3.96 yards per carry and two targets in each of those. Volume alone makes Robinson a matchup-proof RB2 play every week. Source: Pro Football Reference

Laviska Shenault Jr. Is Risky Week 12 Start

With D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) out, Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. could slide into the No. 1 receiver role on this team. But with Mike Glennon at quarterback, Shenault’s upside is limited. Shenault hasn’t played since Week 9, and while he was trending up at one point, that was with Gardner Minshew II under center. Now, Shenault’s a risky WR4/5 play against

Mike Glennon Is Not Fantasy Option

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon will be starting against Cleveland in Week 12, but he shouldn’t be starting in your fantasy football lineup. His top wide receiver, D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) is out, and Glennon hasn’t started an NFL game since 2017, when he threw four touchdowns and five interceptions in four games. Glennon might be an upgrade over rookie Jake Luton, but he’s still

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Is RB2 Option In Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire remains the team’s top running back and should be in line for solid work against Tampa Bay in Week 12. It’s a fairly tough matchup, but CEH has low-end RB2 value based on his upside. He scored twice last week, potentially suggesting that the rookie rusher is trending up after struggling at times earlier in the season. Source:

Le’Veon Bell Is Middling Play

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le’Veon Bell has struggled to make much of an impact since joining the team.Last week’s seven carries were his most as a member of the Chiefs. Sure, he scored a touchdown, but Bell’s been a low-volume guy since arriving in K.C., and at this point he’s just a Clyde Edwards-Helaire insurance policy, not a standalone fantasy asset. He’s a risky

Travis Kelce Remains Top Tight End Option

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been targeted 10-plus times in three consecutive games. He remains the No. 1 play at the tight end position this week despite a tougher matchup than usual against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. With other top tight ends injured, Kelce is worth paying up for in DFS, as positional scarcity makes him essentially matchup proof at this point.

Tyreek Hill Is On A Roll

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is playing his best football of the season right now and there’s no reason to think that changes in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, even if the Bucs have one of the best defenses that K.C. has faced this year. There has been one game this year in which Hill didn’t manage to get into the

Patrick Mahomes Doesn’t Have Greatest Week 12 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes faces a Tampa Bay defense that allows the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this week. It’s not the greatest matchup for Mahomes, but that doesn’t matter a ton for fantasy managers. He has 348 or more yards in three consecutive appearances. He’s a clear QB1 play every single week when it comes to season-long formats, though there’s

Tampa Bay Places Vita Vea On COVID-19/Reserve List

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea (COVID-19 list) was transferred to the COVID-19/reserve list Saturday, further cementing his out status for Sunday against Kansas City. (Players do not necessarily have to test positive in order to be placed on the list.) Having been on injured reserve due to a leg fracture, Vea has proven to be a stalwart of the Buccaneers Defense when healthy.

Graham Gano Returns For Week 12’s Contest

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (COVID-19) has been activated ahead of Sunday’s game versus Cincinnati, returning to the mix without having missed a game despite a positive virus test. With the Giants having been on their bye last week, Ryan Santoso would have served as the team’s contingency plan had Gano not been cleared in time, but the veteran will now take the field

John Brown Lands On Injured Reserve With Ankle Injury

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown (ankle) had already been ruled out for Sunday’s game versus the Chargers, but he will now miss at least the next three contests due to a high ankle sprain which has landed him on injured reserve. Brown had been finding his groove within the offense over the past two games, having racked up 14 catches for 171 yards in
