Corey Clement served as the Cardinals' featured back with James Conner sidelined, rushing seven times for 32 yards. As a 28-year old practice squad call-up, Clement makes for a poor fantasy bet in Week 18 versus the stout 49ers rush defense in the event Conner gets shut down for the season finale.

Is Cordarrelle Patterson still king of the mountain in the Atlanta backfield? Can a certain Detroit wide receiver and a certain New York Giants wide receiver help you win your fantasy bowl? Senior columnist Matt Wilson answers those questions and ...

Jonathan Taylor picked up the injury when he took a swing pass for 13 yards on Indianapolis’ opening drive during its loss to the Minnesota and was tackled out of bounds. Per NFL Insider Ian Rapoport, Taylor has been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain and is unlikely to return this season.

Is it time to give up on Mike White after he failed to toss a touchdown pass in two straight games? Is the Carolina backfield morphing from the D’Onta Foreman show into a full-blown committee? Are Jerick McKinnon and J.K. ...

Deebo Samuel had his legs caught underneath a defender who dragged him to the ground at the end of a short carry during the 49ers' win over the Buccaneers. Samuel was unable to put any weight on his injured leg, and had to be taken to the 49ers' locker room on a cart. Samuel did not return to the contest.

Lamar Jackson came down hard on his knee as he was getting tackled from behind on an early first quarter sack during the Ravens' win over the Broncos. Jackson was able to walk to the Ravens' locker room under his own power, but did not return to the game.

On the Packers' first offensive drive of the second half in their Sunday night loss to the Eagles, Rodgers was sandwiched by multiple defenders on a sack, and appeared visibly shaken up. Rodgers remained in the contest, but appeared to be laboring through his throws, and eventually headed to the Packers' locker room at the beginning of the fourth quarter.

Have the Tennessee Titans finally put together an effective passing attack? Is David Montgomery operating as a workhorse ball carrier again? Who are the two new starting tailbacks and will you find them on the waiver wire? Is it time ...

With Mixon out of action for about two-and-a-half quarters, his fantasy managers had to watch as Samaje Perine (82 total yards on 15 touches) cashed in on three Joe Burrow touchdown passes. As we know, Mixon’s recovery from a concussion could go either way in advance of the team’s Week 12 matchup against Tennessee.

Have Christian McCaffrey and Leonard Fournette morphed into committee running backs? Can you trust Kadarius Toney? Is there finally a fantasy relevant Houston Texans wide receiver not named Brandin Cooks? Senior columnist Matt Wilson answers those questions and sifts through ...

We likely won't get much clarity on Fournette's status until next week at the earliest when the Bucs' resume practicing, though hip pointers are typically not long-term injuries.

With the Bears using Fields on more designed runs during the last month, he has notched a rushing score in three straight contests and rushed for 80-plus yards in three of his last four, which gives the second-year pro a higher and more solid fantasy floor.

On the Bills' final offensive drive during their loss to the Jets, Josh Allen suffered an injury on a pass drop-back where a defender swatted at his arm as he attempted to throw the ball. Allen was seen shaking his elbow afterwards, but remained in the game.

While Kupp isn't out of the woods yet (more testing to come this week), fantasy managers can likely breathe a sigh of relief. If Cooper Kupp sits out Week 9 versus the Buccaneers, it would be a massive blow to the Rams' offense, as he's been just about their only reliable source for moving the football.

Detroit is expected to have both running back D'Andre Swift and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown back against the Dolphins. Both players are essentially must-starts when healthy, but while the Dolphins have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year it's still difficult to trust Jared Goff given than his last touchdown pass came in Week 4.

Is it time to dump Aaron Rodgers? Have the Dallas Cowboys replaced a game manager named Cooper Rush with another game manager named Dak Prescott? Is it time to take rookie tight end Greg Dulcich more seriously? Senior columnist Matt ...

Players always tend to be overly optimistic when it comes to their injury outlook, so the fact Tannehill is in a boot is a red flag. Malik Willis would be in line to draw the start in Week 8 versus the Texans if Tannehill can't go, and registers on the 2QB/SuperFlex streaming radar given his immense rushing upside.

Will a Green Bay Packers offense that has scored just 10 points in its last six quarters continue to struggle? Are Aaron Rodgers, Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon still must-start guys? Is Bailey Zappe a legit plug-and-play bye-week replacement? Is ...

If J.K. Dobbins cannot go, it would be Kenyan Drake leading a committee that includes Mike Davis, potentially Justice Hill (hamstring) if cleared and even the potential return of Gus Edwards.

Entering Week 5 questionable with a quad injury, Tyreek Hill was knocked out of Dolphins' blowout loss to the Jets in the fourth quarter with a different lower body ailment, and did not return. Prior to the injury, Hill had put up 60 total yards on 9 touches. He was seen wearing a walking boot after the game, but the injury is not believed to be serious.

The heavy workloads appear to be catching up to Jonathan Taylor, who was on the team’s injury report earlier in the week with a toe issue. With Indianapolis on a short week drawing the Thursday night matchup (against Denver), Taylor is going to be up against it to play.

Alvin Kamara joins Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston on the INACTIVE list by New Orleans in the Tottenham game this morning.

Is David Njoku finally emerging as a legit fantasy asset? Is it time to give up on D.J. Moore? Is Mack Hollins a safe waiver wire addition? Senior columnist Matt Wilson answers those questions and sifts through the Week 3 ...

Jones was injured on the Patriots' final offensive play of their loss to the Ravens when he got his legs tangled up underneath DE Calais Campbell. Jones is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain, and will undergo a MRI scan to confirm the diagnosis/severity.

Given James Conner’s history of ankle problems, it wouldn’t be a shock to see his latest injury result in missed games. Based on Sunday’s usage, it appears Darrel Williams is viewed as Conner’s direct backup, and would stand to inherit a sizable workload.

Is Austin Ekeler underachieving? Have gaudy passing numbers gone the way of the dinosaur for Tom Brady? Were Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle the only wide receivers to go off in Week 1? Senior columnist Matt Wilson answers those questions ...

Pittman and Kamara both were unable to practice Thursday and Friday. Pittman has been ruled OUT for this week, Kamara too has not been listed as OUT. Chris Godwin and Julio Jones won’t play for Tampa Bay either.

Late in the 4th quarter of Dallas' Sunday night loss to the Buccaneers, Prescott banged his throwing hand on a follow-through, and was seen having a stress test performed on the sideline before heading to the locker room. Prescott is now expected to have surgery and miss approximately 6-to-8 weeks.

Many were wondering whether back-to-back league MVP Aaron Rodgers (22/34 for 195-0-1) could still manufacture No. 1 fantasy quarterback numbers without Davante Adams…and we got our answer. Rodgers’ fantasy outing against the Minnesota Vikings was brutal.

The one thing the Packers don't need is to get thinner at wide receiver. Well.. they are thinner at wide receiver as Allen Lazard had his ankle stepped on in the final week of training camp and he will not play this week.

There was also little reason to have Harris play while hurt given the Patriots were already winning by double-digits at half time. Nevertheless, a hamstring injury for Harris is particularly concerning given he already missed Week 15 due to the same issue.

Gordon and Williams, the fantasy RB17 and RB14 heading into Week 16, respectively, disappointed with their worst fantasy outings of the season. With Drew Lock subbing for the injured Teddy Bridgewater (concussion), most fantasy experts expected Denver, one of the NFL’s better running teams, to let Gordon and Williams carry the offense.
