Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will remain a high-end backup in a Week 12 Thanksgiving matchup against the Washington Football Team. Pollard put up a solid fantasy performance last week, running for 60 yards and a touchdown, but he ultimately received just five total touches. Pollard has a little more value in leagues that count return yards, but he’s still best looked at as

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran his way back into fantasy relevance in Week 11, producing his first 100-yard game of the season and scoring a touchdown through the air. He’ll have a tougher matchup against a surging Washington defensive line on Thanksgiving Day, but he’s undoubtedly back on the RB1 borderline. Quarterback Andy Dalton was able to make the Cowboys look like a

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton struggled mightily earlier in the season when he first replaced injured starter Dak Prescott (ankle), but after missing time due to a concussion and with COVID-19, Dalton looked the part of an NFL starting quarterback in Week 11. For Week 12, Dalton and the Cowboys get a Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Washington Football Team. In what could be a

The New York Jets are signing running back Josh Adams to the active roster on Tuesday from the practice squad, according to a source. The move comes with rookie La’Mical Perine (ankle) out several weeks with a high-ankle sprain. Veteran Frank Gore will continue to be Gang Green’s lead back, with Ty Johnson and Adams backing him up. The 24-year-old Adams played in the first

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry won last week’s game in overtime with his ninth touchdown in the last eight contests, but the Colts are one of two teams that have been able to keep Tennessee’s star running back out of the end zone during this stretch and they have allowed only five rushing scores to running backs heading into Week 12. The 133-yard performance

The Los Angeles Chargers plan on designating running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) to return from Injured Reserve this week, according to a source. However, it isn’t clear if Ekeler will play in Week 12 against the Bills, but he’ll practice for the first time since suffering a serious hamstring injury in Week 4. The 25-year-old has been posting videos of himself working out on social

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill boasts an impressive 22:4 touchdown-to-interception ratio this season and a 44:10 mark in his time with the Titans, but Week 12 presents a difficult rematch against a Colts Defense that held him to 147 yards and a touchdown two weeks ago. The Colts have given up the third-fewest points to opposing quarterbacks this season and have the second-ranked defense overall.

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil is expected back at the team’s facility on Tuesday after he was inactive in the Week 11 win over the Patriots with a non-COVID-19 illness. Tunsil was battling the flu last week and didn’t feel well enough to suit up. It’s no guarantee that he’ll be ready for Thursday’s Thanksgiving game against the Lions, though, so continue to monitor

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (knee) confirmed in a tweet on Tuesday that he’ll miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury in the Week 11 loss to the Texans. Burkhead was injured early in the third quarter and was carted off the field and ruled out almost immediately. The injury leaves the Patriots with Damien Harris, James White, Sony

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was seen rehabbing on the side and not working during the period of practice open to the media on Tuesday. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was also not present. Murray tweaked his shoulder in last week’s loss to the Seahawks, but he played through it and should be fine for Week 12 against the Patriots. Hopkins is likely just being

The Baltimore Ravens have had five players and four staffers test positive for COVID-19 this week, according to sources. The game on Thanksgiving on Thursday night against the division-rival Steelers is still on, but a source warned that more positives could mean postponing it. It’s unclear if the game would be pushed back to the weekend or Monday night or if it would be postponed

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is 0-for-19 on deep passes 20-plus air yards down the field in his last four games with a 0.0 passer rating. From Weeks 1-7 on deep passes, Brady was 14-for-39 (35.9 completion percentage) with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a passer rating of 101.2. The future Hall of Famer missed on his final three deep attempts in Week

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been impressive throughout his previous two games, racking up 12 catches (16 targets) for 157 yards and a touchdown. While that type of production would get anyone excited, the 25-year-old will have a tough matchup against an effective Steelers Defense on Thanksgiving. Andrews didn’t have a stellar outing in his first meeting against Pittsburgh just a few weeks

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards will likely serve as the team’s workhorse in Week 12 against a tough Steelers Defense. With J.K. Dobbins (illness) and Mark Ingram II (illness) both testing positive for COVID-19, the former Scarlet Knight’s fantasy stock is the highest it’s been all year. Although Justice Hill will be around the gobble some snaps on Thanksgiving, Edwards should still handle most

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson may have his hands full against Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The third-year signal-caller had a rough go against the smothering Steelers Defense just a few weeks ago, finishing with 208 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions to go along with a miserable 46.4 completion percentage. The 23-year-old may put up similar numbers on the passing end, but with the team

Cleveland Browns cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) is expected to miss a few weeks with a calf strain, according to sources. It’s a tough break for the Browns secondary and defense overall, but the good news is that they’re facing the lowly Jaguars in Week 12. The loss of Ward for multiple weeks is a blow to this defense and should knock them down slightly in

The Cincinnati Bengals and doctors were encouraged by what they saw in the imaging of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow‘s knee after he tore the ACL and MCL in his left knee in the Week 11 loss to the Washington Football Team. Burrow is obviously dealing with a multi-ligament injury, but they are optimistic about the 2021 season and beyond. The rookie signal-caller will have to

The Buffalo Bills activated cornerback Josh Norman from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Norman has missed time with a hamstring injury and from being on the COVID-19 list and has managed to play in just three games this year in his first season in Buffalo. The veteran cornerback hasn’t played since Week 6 against Kansas City. The former Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro is more

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods took advantage of his team’s perfect game plan in Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night en route to a third-place finish among wideouts for the week. He caught 12 of his 15 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown. After seeing his targets trend downwards for the last four weeks, he led the team

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski had two receptions for 25 yards on six targets in Monday’s loss to the Rams. After a terrific stretch of games just a few weeks ago, Gronk has declined a bit recently and now has below 30 yards in two of the past three games. Still, he has seen at least six targets in two of the past
