Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) has been labeled a “full go” by head coach Pete Carroll for Monday’s contest against Philadelphia. Carson has missed each of the team’s prior four games due to a foot injury, as his absence coincided with numerous backfield injuries. Now, he’ll return to true RB1 duties for Seattle, thereby putting himself back in low-end RB1 consideration in the

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) has been activated and is cleared to play in Sunday’s contest against Buffalo. Ekeler’s return coincides with Kalen Ballage (ankle) earning a questionable designation, which could lead to Ekeler getting additional touches in his first game since Week 4. Having proven to be an integral cog in the Los Angeles offense, Ekeler is worthy of starting in

The San Francisco 49ers practice and play their home games in Santa Clara County in California, which is problematic in light of the decree that came down Saturday that does not allow college or professional sports teams to practice or play contact sports over the next three weeks due to concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The 49ers play the Rams on Sunday, but then are

The Denver Broncos could have an extremely unique scenario on their hands for Sunday’s game against New Orleans. After quarterback Jeff Driskel tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the week, Drew Lock, Brett Rypien, and Blake Bortles — the three active quarterbacks the team has under contract — were all sent home from the team facility Saturday due to concerns over contact tracing. The turnaround

The New England Patriots will place starting left tackle Isaiah Wynn (knee) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a league source. The Patriots will be without him for at least the next three games as a result. Wynn injured his knee late in the fourth quarter of the Week 11 loss to the Texans. It could be a devastating blow to an offensive line

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry has an excellent matchup on tap against the Bills in Week 12. Buffalo allows the third-most fantasy points per game and the fourth-most red zone targets per game to opposing tight ends, making this a smash spot for Henry. The veteran tight end has hauled in a touchdown reception in two straight games and has a great chance

The Detroit Lions fired head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn on Saturday. It comes after the Lions lost to the Texans on Thanksgiving on Thursday by a score of 41-25 to fall to 4-7 on the season and in last place in the NFC North. Patricia’s three-year tenure with the team didn’t go very well at all, with Detroit becoming the first

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams will take on the Bills in Week 12. Williams has been one of the league’s best deep threats, averaging 16.9 average targeted air yards per game, good for third in the NFL. The veteran wideout has three touchdown catches of 20 yards or more this season. With the Chargers as underdogs in a game with an over/under of

The Indianapolis Colts reached an agreement with run-stuffing defensive tackle Grover Stewart on a three-year, $30.75 million contract extension on Saturday, according to multiple league sources with knowledge of the negotiations. The deal includes $20 million guaranteed and up to $1 million in performance bonuses. The 27-year-old was on the final year of his rookie deal but has been a breakout star for an imposing

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl left tackle Terron Armstead and left guard Andrus Peat (concussion) will not play in Week 12 against the Broncos. Armstead tested positive for COVID-19, according to sources. This probably would’ve had more of an effect on pocket quarterback Drew Brees, but this is bad news regardless for the Saints offensive line, quarterback Taysom Hill and running back Alvin Kamara against

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is red-hot heading into a Week 12 matchup with the Bills. Allen had an astonishing, career-high 16 receptions on 19 targets last week and has been a target hog all year, as he’s averaged 11.2 looks per game. The 28-year-old has one of the highest floors in fantasy football right now and could give his fantasy managers another

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Week 12 against the Jets. It will be veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick getting the start on Sunday. Tagovailoa jammed his thumb against a helmet in practice on Wednesday and has been limited this week. The Dolphins just don’t want to take any chances with their franchise quarterback. The matchup is a

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kalen Ballage (ankle, calf) is questionable ahead of a matchup with an underachieving Bills’ defense. Ballage appears to have a good chance of playing after logging limited practice sessions all week. He hasn’t looked all that impressive as a runner but has a stranglehold on the Chargers’ backfield, as he’s averaged 21 touches per contest over the last three games.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert gets a favorable matchup in Week 12 against the Bills. Buffalo has surrendered the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers and has allowed a QB1 finish in each of their last two contests. Herbert, fantasy football’s QB7 this year, has thrown for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns in six of his last seven games. The

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner has tested positive for COVID-19, according to multiple sources. Conner is awaiting a second test on Sunday to confirm the results, and the Steelers will continue contact tracing. Fantasy managers will have to scramble for other options with Conner likely out for Week 12 against the Ravens on Tuesday night. If the game against Baltimore is played on Tuesday,

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Dez Bryant tweeted that he has signed to the team’s 53-man active roster. Bryant reverted back to the team’s practice squad after the Week 11 overtime loss to the Titans, but he’s back on the roster again for the Week 12 contest against the undefeated Steelers that has been moved to Tuesday night. The veteran pass-catcher caught four of five targets

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor has been placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list and is out for Week 12 against the Titans. The Colts also downgraded center Ryan Kelly (neck) to out, while cornerback Isaiah Rodgers (knee) is now questionable. It’s unknown if Taylor actually tested positive for the virus, but either way he won’t play against Tennessee. It’s a tough break for the

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for the Week 12 contest against the Vikings after not traveling with the team. McCaffrey was limited in practice all week and was initially listed as questionable, though head coach Matt Rhule indicated that he was more on the doubtful side of things. The good news is, the All-Pro runner will likely be

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has been a ghost on the field throughout most of the season. He hauled in two of his three targets for 32 yards and one touchdown in the loss last week. However, he’ll face a Miami Dolphins Defense that has allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. The Jets wide receivers are fairly healthy, so

New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman has hauled in three touchdowns over his last two games. It appears the Jets are looking his way in the end zone, but most of his fantasy value has come from those touchdowns. Perriman will get a fairly tough matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 12. Quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) is back under center, so that should
