New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn caught his lone target for 13 yards in a 34-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Ginn couldn't join the fun on a day where Drew Brees threw only one incomplete pass on 30 attempts. Ginn has now failed to exceed 50 receiving yards in all but two games […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith caught his lone target for a 21-yard touchdown in a 34-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Don't look now, but Smith has recorded a touchdown catch in three of his last four games, though it's worth noting he's seen only eight targets combined in these games. Still, the […]

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught all 12 of his targets for 128 yards and a touchdown.

The Green Bay Packers Defense posted three sacks, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. It was a strong performance in which they only allowed 13 points.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoMason Crosby Makes Three Extra-Points
Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby made all three extra-point attempts in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. The 35-year-old has relied on extra-points for the majority of his fantasy points, as he's only attempted 17 field goals this year. For that reason, he's more dependent on his offense being successful than other kickers. […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoJimmy Graham Lays An Egg Against Bears
Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham was held to one catch on four targets for no yards. The veteran hasn't exceeded 50 receiving yards in four straight games. Not only did Graham not gain a yard, he's now competing for targets with backups Mercedes Lewis and Robert Tonyan. Because of this, He can't be […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoAllen Lazard Posts Just 14 Receiving Yards
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught two of three targets for 14 yards in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Lazard has come back down to earth the last two weeks after exploding for 103 yards against the Giants. He can't be counted upon for fantasy when he's averaging 2.7 targets per […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoGeronimo Allison Held To 19 Receiving Yards
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison caught two of four targets for 19 yards in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Allison's day included a drop on a ball Aaron Rodgers put right in his hands. Allison has now failed to exceed 50 receiving yards in all but one game this year. He's […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoDavante Adams Goes For 103 Yards And A Touchdown
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught seven of 13 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Adams hesitated on his route, then left Bears corner Buster Skrine in the dust for a 29-yard score. A great day could have been even better for Adams, if […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoJamaal Williams Quiet In Week 15 Win
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams was held to 26 rushing yards on eight totes and one catch for seven yards in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Jones Scores Two Touchdowns In Win
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 13 times for 51 rushing yards with two touchdowns and wasn't targeted in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoAaron Rodgers Held In Check, Plagued By Drops
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 16 of 33 passes for 203 yards and a touchdown in a 21-13 win over the Chicago Bears. Rodgers likely would have had a better stat line if not for several drops by his receivers, including a beautiful deep ball that slipped right through Marquez Valdes-Scantling's breadbasket. Still, […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoDavid Njoku A Healthy Scratch Against Cardinals
Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Coach Reddie Kitchens reportedly "was hesitant" to activate Njoku off the IR last week- and the 23-year-old struggled against the Bengals. Backups Demetrius Harris and Ricky Seals-Jones will likely share targets, which is unfortunate because the Cardinals are […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoJameis Winston Officially Active Against Lions
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) is officially active for Week 15 against the Detroit Lions. Winston wasn't able to throw a football in practice until Friday, though he was able to finish off last week's 456-yard, four-touchdown performance with the injury. Winston has a great chance to stay hot against Detroit's suspect pass […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoDamien Williams Officially Inactive Against Broncos
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs, illness) is inactive for Week 15 against the Denver Broncos. Darwin Thompson, LeSean McCoy and Spencer Ware will shoulder the load for Kansas City. The Chiefs backfield isn't an ideal fantasy situation, though McCoy, who's had success running in snowy conditions, and Thompson are probably the safest […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoBo Scarbrough Inactive Against Buccaneers
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Scarbrough wasn't able to practice on Thursday or Friday, so it was likely a longshot for him to play anyway. Ty Johnson, J.D. McKissic, and practice-squad call-up Wes Hills will lead the backfield in Scarbrough's absence. All […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoJulian Edelman Officially Active For Week 15
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is active for Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edelman was optimistic about playing, though it's nice to get the official word. He's a must-start considering his eight-game streak with double-digit targets and the fact that Tom Brady doesn't seem to trust any other receiver in […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoWill Fuller Officially Active Against Titans
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) is officially active for Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans. When healthy, Fuller has been a difference-maker, averaging 7.6 targets and 74 receiving yards per game. He possesses considerable upside and could be worth a start in what should be a competitive divisional game. Fuller's presence is also […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoA.J. Green Could Play Weeks 16 And 17
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) hasn't been ruled out for Weeks 16 and 17 yet. Green hasn't played yet this season, though he has reportedly looked good in practice. It would certainly be odd to see Green make his debut this late in the season for a 1-12 team with nothing to play […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoBo Scarbrough A Game-Time Decision
Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is a game-time decision for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old is trending in the wrong direction, with two DNPs on Thursday and Friday after practicing in limited fashion on Wednesday. Even if healthy, Scarbrough is hard to trust against the Buccaneers' league-best run defense. […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is optimistic about his chances of suiting up against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. The 33-year-old didn't practice on Wednesday but has been trending in the right direction, with two limited sessions to close out the week. Edelman has seen at least 10 targets in […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoNoah Fant Good To Go Against Chiefs
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (hip, foot) is good to go for Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Fant is coming off his second career 100-yard game and will take on a Chiefs secondary that ranks 12th in the NFL against the pass. It is a tough matchup, but the rookie could be […]
Tim Capurso 5 years agoDamien Williams Expected To Be Inactive
Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (rib, illness) is expected to be inactive against the Denver Broncos in Week 15. Williams got in two limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday before downgrading to a DNP on Friday.

Tim Capurso 5 years agoJosh Jacobs Good To Go
Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) is good to go for Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Jacobs missed last week's game with his shoulder fracture but is returning at the perfect time with a good matchup on hand. Jacksonville's defense has allowed 141.1 yards per game on the ground, third-most in the league. […]

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (elbow) and tight end Jared Cook (concussion) were both listed as full participants. Brees was a late add to the injury report on Friday with an elbow injury that looked to have occurred on the last drive of a narrow, Week 14 loss to the 49ers. Cook was able […]
