Justin Carter 4 years agoJ.J. Arcega-Whiteside Is Healthy Scratch
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The second-year receiver has just never managed to find a rhythm in the NFL, and it's looking more and he looks closer to being out of the league than to being a productive NFL option.
Justin Carter 4 years agoCordarrelle Patterson Questionable To Return With Knee Injury
Chicago Bears running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a knee injury. Patterson leaves with one carry for three yards and one catch for four yards. His absence doesn't change much about this Bears offense, as his usage has been down lately, aside from a […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDeeJay Dallas Carted Off Field
Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas has been carted off the field with an air cast on his right foot/ankle. Dallas was injured on special teams during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He did not have an offensive touch in this game, but the promising rookie could play a key role on the team […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoStephon Gilmore Heading To Locker Room
New England Patriots defensive back Stephon Gilmore (knee) was helped to the locker room after going down with a non-contact leg injury during Sunday's game against the Dolphins. One of the best defensive backs in the NFL, Gilmore's absence could open up opportunities for a Dolphins offense that has struggled so far in their Week […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoCollin Johnson Questionable To Return
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Collin Johnson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson had the only reception for the Jaguars at the time he exited, an eight-yard first-quarter reception. If he's unable to return, D.J. Chark Jr. and Laviska Shenault Jr. could see an additional target or two each, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJames White Active for Week 15
New England Patriots running back James White (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. With Damien Harris (foot) out, White should see increased work, as he'll be competing with Sony Michel and J.J. Taylor for touches. White has just seven catches in the last three games and eight carries, so the low […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoSalvon Ahmed Active For Week 15
Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. With a lot of skill position players out, expect Ahmed to play a major role in this one. Even against a tough defense, Ahmed will get enough opportunities to make him a low-end RB2 option with a solid […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMark Ingram II Out For Week 15
Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Considering Ingram didn't have a carry last week and played just one offensive snap, this doesn't really change anything from a fantasy perspective. J.K. Dobbins will serve as the lead back against a Jaguars Defense that has struggled. […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJameis Winston Placed On COVID-19 List
New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston was placed on the COVID-19 list Sunday, which will keep him out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Winston was expected to serve as the backup quarterback to Drew Brees, but it looks like Taysom Hill will wind up in that role. It's unclear yet if this […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoAntonio Gibson Officially Out Against Seattle
Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. Gibson was listed as doubtful coming into the game, so this isn't much of a surprise. J.D. McKissic will be the lead back on Sunday and should be considered a mid-tier RB2 play, though he lacks the […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMatthew Stafford Active For Week 15
Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb, ribs) is officially suiting up for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. There was doubt early in the week about this, but Stafford trended up as game day approached and is good to go against a porous Titans passing defense. The injury concerns are here, but Stafford should be […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoEzekiel Elliott Inactive For Week 15
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Elliott has never missed a game due to injury, so it's a bit surprising to see that he won't be giving it a go this week. Tony Pollard will slide into the lead back role and is a […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDolphins Won't Have DeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki, Jakeem Grant
Yikes. The Miami Dolphins will reportedly be without three of their top pass-catchers when they take on New England on Sunday, with wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) both reportedly out despite hopes they'd be able to play. Wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring) is out as well. With that […]

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to be the starting quarterback in Philly for the rest of the 2020 season. Hurts is a dual-threat player who made a major impact on the ground in his first NFL start, rushing for 106 yards. His presence helps negate some of the offensive line issues that […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoKyle Pitts Declares For NFL Draft
Florida tight end Kyle Pitts has declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. In eight games this season, Pitts had 36 receptions for 641 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's an elite tight end prospect who would instantly shift the fantasy landscape at the position depending on his landing spot in April. His big-play potential makes him […]

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught three passes for 18 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's win over the Carolina Panthers. He now has 10 touchdown catches on the season. Tonyan hasn't been consistently producing yardage, but his ability to find the end zone has kept him on the fantasy radar week after […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDavante Adams Quiet Against Panthers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams had seven receptions in Saturday's win over the Carolina Panthers but finished with just 42 yards and no receptions. It was the second-lowest yardage output of the season for Adams and his first time since Week 6 to not catch a touchdown. It was a letdown for fantasy […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoAaron Jones Has Huge Saturday Night
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones saw 20 of the 22 carries by Green Bay running backs in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. With those carries, Jones had 145 yards and a touchdown. He also added three catches for 13 yards. It was a huge night for Jones, who saw his most rushing […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoAaron Rodgers Rushes For Score Against Panthers

Rodgers did add five carries for 26 yards and a score as well. The veteran continues to battle with […]

After a long, long 2019-2020 NBA season, we're moving ahead to a fresh NBA campaign. Rookie years are tough. Some players do well. Some don't. What can be crucial for the futures of many of those players, though, is what they do the next season. Do they start to show in their second season why […]

Free agency can be a great opportunity for players to find new homes that mesh with their playing styles and help them achieve their potential. But it can also be a chance for players to think they're doing that and then wind up in a bad situation where they're unable to find NBA success. This […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoWide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 15
The fantasy playoffs are in full swing, so you know what that means: there's no need at this point to pick anyone up off waivers who can't tangibly help you in the short term. We're past the speculative additions part of the season. This means that this week's waiver column would be a little shorter […]

After suffering a hamstring injury on the opening drive, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been ruled out for the remainder of the team's Week 14 game against Washington. Brandon Aiyuk has been the only receiver with more than one reception so far in today's game and would be the only receiver on […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoKeke Coutee Has Week 14 Touchdown
Houston Texans wide receiver didn't post the huge yardage numbers some expected, but a second quarter touchdown helped salvage his Week 14 from a fantasy perspective. Coutee ended up with three catches for 24 yards and the aforementioned touchdown, while it was Chad Hansen who saw the most work among the team's receivers. Coutee does […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoAlex Smith Questionable To Return In Week 14
Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers with a leg injury. Smith was 8-for-19 for 57 yards and an interception in the first half. Considering Smith's history with leg injuries, don't be surprised to see Smith not return. Dwayne Haskins Jr. is currently in […]
