Dan Arnold Questionable To Return Against Atlanta
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Dan Arnold (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Arnold has one catch for nine yards in Sunday's game and was held without a catch last week, but had 17 catches for 195 yards in the three weeks before that. If Arnold isn't able to return,...

Devin White, Jamel Dean, Aaron Stinnie Questionable
Three Tampa Bay Buccaneers players are questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts -- linebacker Devin White (hip), cornerback Jamel Dean (shoulder) and guard Aaron Stinnie (knee). The Buccaneers defense without White and Dean will be more exploitable for this Colts offense. White was already hurt leading up to Sunday's game, so keep... Read More
John Ross Active For Week 12
New York Giants wide receiver John Ross (quad) is active for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. With Sterling Shepard (quad) and Kadarius Toney (quad) both out, Ross should see snaps as the team's No. 3 receiver. Considering he only has eight catches on the season, fantasy managers looking for a dart throw in a... Read More
Falcons Defense Will Be Without Deion Jones
Atlanta Falcons linebacker Deion Jones (shoulder) was a late addition to the injury report this week and won't play Sunday against the Jaguars. The team's leader in tackles for loss, Jones is a huge loss for this Falcons defense. If you were thinking of streaming them because of how bad the Trevor Lawrence-led Jaguars have... Read More
Terrace Marshall Jr. A Healthy Scratch Against Dolphins
Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. is a healthy scratch for Sunday's meeting with the Miami Dolphins. The promising rookie hasn't had a catch since Week 6 and should have already been off of your fantasy radar in single-year formats, so this move shouldn't have much of an impact on fantasy lineups. Receiver... Read More
Terence Steele Placed On COVID List
The Dallas Cowboys have placed offensive tackle Terence Steele on the reserve/COVID-19 list, putting him in line to miss next week's game against the Saints. Steele was a solid fill-in tackle when Tyron Smith was out and saw some work at right tackle too, surprisingly starting over La'el Collins on Thanksgiving. Expect Collins back in... Read More
Vita Vea In For Week 12, Ke'Shawn Vaughn Out
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) will play against the Colts on Sunday, a lift for this Tampa Bay defense as it tries to slow down Colts running back Jonathan Taylor. With how Taylor has played lately, starting the Buccaneers defense in fantasy isn't the slam-dunk it usually is, but fantasy managers can... Read More
Saquon Barkley Active, Kadarius Toney Inactive
New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Eagles, while wide receiver Kadarius Toney (quad) is out, as previously reported. Barkley saw 12 touches last week for 56 yards and definitely doesn't look like Barkley was expected to look, but he should find a little more space against... Read More
Cordarrelle Patterson Active For Week 12
Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Jaguars. Jacksonville has only allowed one receiving touchdown to a running back this season, but Patterson's usage in Atlanta should make him a high-end RB2 option, even with running backs not finding a ton of success in the Jags in the...

Another week of NFL action is behind us and the fantasy playoffs are fast approaching. Are there any players left on the waiver wire wasteland? Let's find out. Below, you'll find some wideouts that you should be targeting on the waiver wire ahead of Week 12. Not all options are the same. Some players may... Read More
Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 6
Welcome back to the waiver wire! Need to bolster your flailing team? We've got you covered. These recommendations are mainly for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, and guards whose low rostership and upside... Read More
Michael Carter Ruled Out In Week 11
Updating a previous report, New York Jets running back Michael Carter (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Carter had nine carries for 63 yards in the game as well as a two-yard reception. If he misses additional time, Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman would move into larger roles in this Jets... Read More
Packers Fear Elgton Jenkins Has Torn ACL
Green Bay Packers left tackle Elgton Jenkins was carted off the field on Sunday against the Vikings and the team now fears that Jenkins has a torn ACL. If confirmed, that would end his 2021 season and would be a huge blow to the Packers offense. With David Bakhtiari (knee) injured as well, it looks... Read More
Justin Fields Won't Return In Week 11
Updating a previous report, Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ribs) won't return against the Ravens in Week 11. Fields was 4-for-11 for 79 yards before exiting, plus added four carries for 23 yards. The Bears scored their first touchdown of the game once Nick Foles entered the game. Fields has had an uneven rookie... Read More
A.J. Brown Questionable To Return Against Texans
For the second time in Sunday's game against the Texans, Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown is questionable to return, this time with a chest injury. The Titans have had a disappointing day, trailing Houston by two scores in the fourth quarter. Brown has five catches for 48 yards. If he doesn't return, the team... Read More
Jordan Howard Questionable To Return
Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints. He has 10 carries for 63 yards in the game. With the Eagles leading 33-7, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Howard done for the day, regardless of the severity of the injury. If he misses time,... Read More
Tyrann Mathieu Active, Derrick Gore Out
Despite being a late addition to the injury report, Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He'll help the Chiefs defense, though there's no reason to play the Chiefs defense in fantasy against a high-scoring offense like Dallas. Running back Derrick Gore is inactive with Clyde Edwards-Helaire... Read More
Michael Carter Questionable To Return In Week 11
New York Jets running back Michael Carter (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Carter has nine carries for 63 yards in the game as well as a two-yard reception. If he doesn't return or misses additional time, Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman would move into larger roles in this Jets... Read More
Justin Fields Questionable To Return With Rib Injury
Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens with a rib injury. Fields was 4-for-11 for 79 yards before exiting, plus added four carries for 23 yards. The Bears scored their first touchdown of the game once Nick Foles entered the game. Fields has had an uneven... Read More
Kyler Murray Out For Week 11
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) is officially out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks, with Colt McCoy set to start for the third week in a row. McCoy played well against the Niners, throwing for 249 yards and a touchdown, but struggled against Carolina last week, throwing for just 107 yards and a pick.... Read More
Auden Tate Inactive For Week 11
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) won't play in Sunday's game against the Raiders. Considering Tate has just three catches for 39 yards this season and hasn't played since Week 7, his absence doesn't really move the needle at all when it comes to fantasy. Tate should not be rostered in redraft leagues.
Peyton Barber Active, Jalen Richard Inactive
Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber has been a healthy scratch since Week 4, but the Raiders are making him active this week and making running back Jalen Richard (ribs) inactive. It's an interesting development, but there won't be more than a smattering of snaps available for Barber behind both Josh Jacobs and Kenyan... Read More
Marcus Johnson Won't Return In Week 11
Tennessee Titans wide receiver Marcus Johnson (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 11 contest against the Texans, leaving Chester Rogers to likely play the role of No. 2 receiver beside A.J. Brown. Johnson was a popular waiver add this week after catching five passes for 100 yards against the... Read More
Chiefs Defense Could Be Without Tyrann Mathieu
Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (knee) is a late addition to the team's injury report and is listed as questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. The Chiefs defense is already off the fantasy radar this week because of a meeting with the explosive Cowboys offense, but losing Mathieu for this Week 11... Read More
A.J. Brown Returning To Game In Week 11
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (finger) is returning to Sunday's game against the Texans after heading to the locker room in the first quarter with a finger injury. With Tennessee's shallow receiving corps, getting Brown back into the game is big for this offense and for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who would have had to... Read More
A.J. Brown Questionable To Return In Week 11
Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (hand) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans after getting banged up on the opening drive. He's gone to the locker room. If Brown remains out, Ryan Tannehill will likely look to Chester Rogers and Marcus Johnson more, but neither player has the upside that Brown... Read More
Allen Lazard Ruled Out For Week 11
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (shoulder) is officially out for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Lazard was doubtful after not practicing all week, so this shouldn't come as a surprise to fantasy managers, who should have already taken Lazard out of lineups. Marquez Valdes-Scantling will see increased work against a Vikings team allowing... Read More
Taysom Hill Will Play Against Eagles
New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Hill missed some practice time this week, but was able to get in limited work at the end of the week. He'll see the field some because Sean Payton loves to get Hill into the game, but Trevor Siemian... Read More
