Tyler Eifert ruled out for MNF

Dec 26, 2015

For the second straight week Bengals backup quarterback AJ McCarron won’t have the team’s scoring leader when tight end Tyler Eifert was officially ruled out a few hours before the team left Saturday for Monday night’s game in Denver.

Fantasy Impact:

That means rookie tight end Tyler Kroft, who scored his first NFL TD on a 20-yard pass from McCarron last week, makes his fifth start.

Steelers WR DK Metcalf returns to practice Thursday

DK Metcalf all good to go today at practice despite suffering an abdominal injury on Sunday

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Ben Skowronek, Adam Thielen

Fantasy Impact:

Good news for Metcalf managers, who are hoping to see if he can replicate his big, 12-target Week 14 performance. He should be considered on the WR2/3 fringe.

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans "good to go" for TNF

From Tampa: Mike Evans good to go tonight. Won’t play every down but will be in on the key ones.

OL Graham Barton said Evans was juiced up all week to make his return

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin

Fantasy Impact:

Fowler followed up by saying he was told Evans will "probably not play every snap", as he'll be on a bit of a pitch count. We should take this to mean that Evans will be back on the sideline if Tampa Bay has a comfortable lead, so that could cap his ceiling in fantasy. Consider him more of a WR3, but we could see better upside in the following two contests.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara absent from Thursday practice

RB Alvin Kamara and RT Asim Richards remained absent from Saints practice Thursday. And DT Davon Godchaux was absent as usual, as the Saints routinely rest him on Thursdays.

RT Taliese Fuaga was practicing again. And S Justin Reid appeared to increase his participation.

Related Players: Devin Neal, Evan Hull

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like it could be another week of Devin Neal, who found the end zone en route to a 14.9-point day against the Buccaneers. If Kamara is still sidelined, consider him a fringe RB2/3 option in Week 15.
