Maxx Crosby to Undergo Knee Surgery

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is expected to require knee surgery that will sideline him into the offseason, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The news came out on Friday that Crosby would be shut down for the season. Now, the superstar pass rusher is expected to have surgery to fix a […]

Chris Olave is Expected to Play in Week 17

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) is expected to be a full-go for Sunday's Week 17 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Olave has been limited in practice all week due to a lingering back issue. He traveled to Tennessee on Saturday and should be out there, barring any setbacks. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect […]

Dallas Goedert is Getting More Involved

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is back to being a consistent option after posting a few mid-season duds. Goedert has found the end zone three times over the last two games. He has also recorded 17 receptions in the previous three contests. The expectation is that the 30-year-old will continue to be a significant […]

Adonai Mitchell is Seeing a Higher Usage

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has become a bigger piece of the offensive attack in the second half of the season. Since Week 11, Mitchell has seen six or more targets in every contest. The production hasn't always been there, with Mitchell having two or fewer receptions in three of those games. The […]

Mike Evans Likely to Remain Heavily Involved

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has given this offense a substantial boost since he returned two weeks ago. The 32-year-old hasn't missed a beat as he's already back to being Mr. Reliable in Tampa Bay. Over his last two games, Evans has hauled in 11 of his 21 targets for 163 yards with […]

Tee Higgins Looking to Keep Touchdown-Streak Alive

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins continues to be an end-zone magnet for this team. Through 13 games, Higgins has scored 10 touchdowns, which is currently tied for his career-high. The 26-year-old has scored at least one touchdown in six of his last seven games. The return of quarterback Joe Burrow in Week 13 has […]

Michael Wilson is Getting More Looks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has been seeing a significant boost in usage during the second half of the season. Over the last six games, Wilson has seen double-digit targets in four games. The biggest reason for his increased involvement is that Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) continues to miss time due to injuries. Over […]

A.J. Brown Cleared to Suit Up in Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (teeth) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Brown missed the first two days of practice this week due to a dental procedure. He was able to practice in full on Friday, which was enough to clear him for Week 17. Brown has been […]

Malik Willis has Deep-League Value for Week 17

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder, illness) is in line to start under center for the Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Starting quarterback Jordan Love (concussion, shoulder) has been ruled out after getting concussed during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Willis came in as relief and completed nine of 11 […]

Maxx Crosby Done for the Season

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (knee) is being shut down for the rest of the regular season, according to Jay Glazer. Crosby suffered a knee injury early in the season and has been playing through it for months. The Raiders aren't playing for anything at this point in the season, so they'll elect […]

Noah Fant Carries Questionable Tag into Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 17 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals. Fant suffered an ankle injury in Week 15, and as a result, he sat out during last week's game against the Miami Dolphins. He was limited during the first two practice sessions of the […]

Dawson Knox Tagged as Questionable for Week 17

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (knee) is listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Knox sat out the first two days of practice, but was able to get in a limited session on Friday. If active, Knox could end up serving as the No. 1 tight end with […]

Ricky Pearsall Trending Towards Playing in Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (ankle, knee) is trending in the right direction ahead of the Sunday night matchup against the Chicago Bears, according to Matt Maiocco. Pearsall has been limited in practice this week after sitting out last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The second-year wideout is managing both an ankle […]

Cade Otton a Shaky Tight End Option in Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has made a minimal impact in the passing attack during the second half of the season. When the Bucs were banged up, Otton was getting double-digit targets some weeks, but that's not the case anymore. The return of receivers Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan has basically put an […]

Jalen McMillan is a Risky Streaming Choice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan hasn't made much of an impact since making his season debut in Week 15. McMillan has hauled in four of his five targets for 53 yards and has yet to find the end zone. The 24-year-old has good long-term upside, but he doesn't appear to be a viable […]

Chris Godwin Jr. Offers WR3 Value for Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. has carved out a consistent role for himself in this offense. The 29-year-old has seen five or more targets in four straight games. The problem has been his yardage, with a combined 50 receiving yards over the last two games. Godwin will get a decent matchup against […]

Emeka Egbuka Needs to Bounce Back in Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie first-round wide receiver Emeka Egbuka has seen a significant drop-off since his fantastic beginning to the season. Over the last six games, Egbuka has been held to under 45 receiving yards in every game but one. The return of Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan isn't going to do Egbuka any favors […]

Mike Evans Carries WR2 Value in Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen heavy involvement in the passing game since making his return to the field two weeks ago. Since Week 15, Evans has hauled in 11 of his 21 targets for 163 yards with one touchdown. He figures to continue being a focal point on offense heading into […]

Sean Tucker is a Touchdown-Dependent Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker carries a three-game touchdown streak into Sunday's Week 17 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Tucker has seen his role on offense take a significant drop since Bucky Irving returned from injury in Week 13. Since Irving returned, Tucker has seen four or fewer carries in three of the […]

Rachaad White Hopeful to Have Expanded Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has seen a minimal role in the rushing attack since Bucky Irving returned from injury in Week 13. Since then, White has only seen double-digit carries once over the last four games. Head coach Todd Bowles recently stated that he wants to increase White's involvement for the upcoming […]

Bucky Irving Falls into RB2 Range

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving is having success on the ground, but it's not exactly resulting in solid fantasy value right now. Since returning from injury, Irving has only found the end zone on the ground once over the last four games. The second-year back is doing well on the ground with 55 […]

Baker Mayfield Has Low-End QB1 Appeal for Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield has given fantasy managers some lackluster performances during the second half of the season. Over his last six games, Mayfield has only surpassed 200 passing yards in a single game once. Mayfield has also only thrown for multiple touchdowns once during that span. It has been a struggle lately […]

Dalton Schultz Practices in Full on Wednesday

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Schultz was limited in practice to begin the week, but he is back to a full session a day later. Barring any setbacks, Schultz will be ready to go for Saturday's Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Schultz […]

Calvin Austin III Absent From Wednesday's Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (hamstring) was absent during Wednesday's practice session. Austin is still dealing with a hamstring issue after exiting early during Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old has mainly been a rotational player, but he is expected to see a larger role with DK Metcalf (suspension) done for […]

Ricky Pearsall Limited on Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Pearsall sat out during Monday's win over the Indianapolis Colts due to nagging knee and ankle issues. He's clearly still dealing with the issues, but at least he was able to practice in a limited capacity. Fantasy managers […]

Josh Jacobs Remains Limited on Wednesday

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Jacobs has been able to get through a limited session. Jacobs has been playing through lingering knee and ankle issues since Week 11. It has resulted in a smaller workload with 12 […]

Mason Taylor Misses Wednesday's Practice

New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Taylor has missed each of the last two games due to a neck injury. He's trending in the wrong direction to begin the week as the Jets head into their final home game against the New England Patriots in […]

Michael Chavis Gets Minor-League Deal With Reds

The Cincinnati Reds signed free-agent infielder Michael Chavis to a minor-league deal, according to Kiley McDaniel. The two sides agreed to a deal on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training. The 30-year-old has bounced around the league since making his MLB debut with the Boston Red Sox in 2023. He spent the entire […]

Mets Sign Mike Baumann to Minor-League Deal

The New York Mets signed free-agent right-handed pitcher Mike Baumann to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. The assumption is that this is a non-roster deal with an invite to spring training. Baumann is back in the MLB after pitching in Japan last season. He posted a 4.15 ERA, 1.57 WHIP, and 28/17 K/BB ratio across […]

Matt Mervis Signs Minor-League Deal With Nationals

The Washington Nationals signed free-agent first baseman Matt Mervis to a minor-league deal on Wednesday. According to Jon Heyman, this is a minor-league deal with a non-roster invite to spring training. The Washington D.C. native will get a chance to catch on as a possible depth option for the Nats. Last season, Mervis slashed .175/.254/.383 […]
