Marvin Harrison Jr. Working Back to Full Health

Head coach Jonathan Gannon notes that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is steadily progressing while dealing with a lingering heel issue. The Ohio State alum has battled a heel injury for the better part of a month now. After a few weeks of no practice, Harrison returned to the field in Week […]

Josh Allen Trending Toward Playing Vs. Philly

According to head coach Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (foot) will play in Sunday's home matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Allen suffered a foot injury in Week 16's 23-20 win over the Browns. Despite not missing any time on the field during the game because of it, the fantasy stalwart has been a […]

Mason Taylor to Miss Third Straight Game

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (neck) will be unavailable for Sunday's divisional clash with the visiting New England Patriots. The rookie is set to miss his third straight game after suffering a neck injury in Week 14's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars. Unfortunately for Taylor, he's yet […]

Christian Watson in Flex Consideration Despite Injury

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (shoulder, illness) will be a slightly more volatile fantasy option than usual for Saturday's home matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. Watson, like quite a few of his teammates, is dealing with multiple injury designations for their Week 17 tilt with Baltimore. In unfortunate news for the 26-year-old, a […]

Jordan Love a Risky Stream if Active

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder, concussion) carries a bit of extra risk for this Saturday's outing with the visiting Baltimore Ravens if he's active. Love could only log limited practices this week, leading up to his game with Baltimore after dealing with a few injuries suffered in last Saturday's loss to the Bears. […]

Mack Hollins Not Practicing with Abdomen Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins (abdomen) failed to practice again on Thursday as the team prepares to take on the hosting New York Jets in Week 17. Hollins had one of his better games of the campaign in New England's 28-24 victory over Baltimore last Sunday, reeling in 7-of-9 targets for 69 yards. […]

Luther Burden III Retains Limited Practice Status Ahead of Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III (ankle) practiced in a limited capacity for the second straight day ahead of Sunday night's matchup with the hosting San Francisco 49ers. The 22-year-old was deemed inactive for Week 16's win over the Packers after failing to practice at all leading up to the outing. However, Burden stringing […]

David Njoku Logs Another DNP

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) has yet to return to practice, listed as a non-participant for the second consecutive session as the team gears up for a divisional matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers this Sunday. The veteran has missed Cleveland's previous two games as he recovers from a knee injury sustained in Week […]

Christian Watson Deemed Questionable for Week 17

Per the team, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (shoulder, illness) is officially questionable for the team's Week 17 clash with the visiting Baltimore Ravens. Watson has dealt with a shoulder injury for a few weeks now, but was able to participate fully for Green Bay's first two practices of the week. However, the […]

Trevor Lawrence in Prime Spot Vs. Vulnerable Colts' Pass D

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been superb in the back half of the season, and there's reason to believe he'll keep the good times rolling against the hosting Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. The Clemson product has been on a tear over the last month. Since Week 13, he's averaging a robust 270.5 passing yards […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling in Line for Increased Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling is slated to operate as, at worst, the No. 2 option in the team's aerial assault for the remainder of the season. Valdes-Scantling was signed to Pittsburgh's practice squad at the beginning of November, although he hadn't earned a snap until their Week 14 win over the Ravens. Since […]

Adam Thielen Climbing Pittsburgh's Passing Game Hierarchy

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Adam Thielen has become a moderately more intriguing fantasy option for the final few weeks of the campaign following the suspension of teammate DK Metcalf. Thielen joined Pittsburgh ahead of the team's 27-22 win over their division-rival Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. Despite logging roughly 50% of snaps over the two […]

David Montgomery to Play Despite Illness

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (illness) will be active for Thursday's road bout with the Minnesota Vikings on Christmas Day, per the team. The veteran appeared on Detroit's practice report on Tuesday, missing the session due to illness. After logging a limited practice on Wednesday, it would seem Montgomery will be able to play […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown to Suit Up on Christmas Day

According to the team, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) will be active for Thursday's divisional clash against the hosting Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown gave fantasy managers a scare, beginning the week tagged with a DNP after upgrading to limited sessions over the ensuing two days. Fortunately, the tough-as-nails 26-year-old will play through […]

Samaje Perine Working Toward Fantasy Viability

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine has garnered a greater role in the offense since returning from an ankle injury a few weeks back, absorbing at least seven touches in four straight outings. Backfield mate Chase Brown has still operated as Cincinnati's clear lead back. However, Perine has begun eating into the former's workload on […]

Jake Ferguson Ruled Out with Calf Issue

ESPN's Todd Archer reports that Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game after sustaining a calf injury. He caught 1-of-2 targets for six yards and a touchdown before exiting the contest. Ferguson saw his last opportunity of the outing early in the second quarter, but […]

Chimere Dike the Top Pass-Catcher in Tennessee?

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chimere Dike is worthy of owners' consideration as a low-end PPR flex play ahead of Week 17's outing with the visiting New Orleans Saints. The rookie's fantasy output has been anything but consistent in his debut season, tied to a developing Cameron Ward under center. However, Dike has retained a decent […]

Javonte Williams Leaves with Shoulder Injury

According to Tommy Yarrish of the team, Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to Thursday's road matchup with their division-rival Washington Commanders. Williams exited Christmas Day's contest in the first half after picking up a shoulder injury. Before leaving, he'd racked up 54 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, […]

Kyle Monangai Holds Standalone Value Despite RBBC

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai has emerged as an integral part of the team's offensive attack and presents as a solid flex play despite splitting time with backfield mate D'Andre Swift. The 23-year-old began the season minimally involved in the Bears' offense, averaging just seven carries a game through the campaign's first eight […]

Matthew Stafford Remains a High-End QB1

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is coming off one of his best performances of the season in last Thursday's 38-37 shootout with the Seahawks, and remains a high-end fantasy option moving forward. Stafford tossed three touchdowns across 457 yards in Week 16's defeat. The yardage total was a career-high, and it was the eighth […]

Kenneth Gainwell Overtaking Warren as Steelers' RB1?

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell has come on strong in recent weeks, solidifying himself as an excellent fantasy asset over the back half of the season. Gainwell popped off earlier in the campaign in backfield mate Jaylen Warren's (hip) stead, although he'd operated in a secondary role for most of the season. However, in […]

Juwan Johnson a Steady No. 2 Option in Saints' Attack

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson saw an increased role in Week 16's 29-6 home win against the New York Jets, and figures to remain heavily involved moving forward after the loss of teammate Devaughn Vele (shoulder) for the remainder of the season. Johnson has been a strong producer for the Saints and fantasy […]

Darren Waller to Continue Late-Season Surge?

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (rest, groin) could not find the end zone again in Week 16's 45-21 lopsided loss to the Bengals, but projects to be a useful fantasy asset for the remainder of the season. Waller and the rest of the Dolphins' skill players' value took a hit last Sunday when the […]

Quentin Johnston Holds Modest Upside Vs. Tough Texans' D

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston registered a stellar performance in his return to the field in Week 16, corraling 4-of-5 targets for 104 yards and a touchdown during the team's 34-17 road win against the Dallas Cowboys. The TCU product was inactive for LA's victory over the Chiefs the week prior after popping […]

Alec Pierce Trending Toward Flex Consideration

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce posted a strong bounce-back effort in Week 16's 48-27 loss to the 49ers, reeling in all four of his targets for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Pierce has been a solid fantasy asset all season. However, he looked to be fading two weeks ago when Indy named veteran QB […]

DJ Moore Slated to Retain WR1 Role?

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has been on a tear over the previous few weeks and is poised to retain an elevated role in the offense amid injuries to his teammates. Moore felt like an afterthought in Chicago's attack early in the campaign. Through the first nine games of the year, the University of […]

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Sitting with Illness

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) will not be available for the team's divisional clash with the visiting Dallas Cowboys on Christmas Day, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 26-year-old was a late addition to Washington's injury report, as he came down with an illness early on Thursday. Despite initially garnering a questionable […]

Brandon Aubrey an Excellent Week 17 Play

Dallas Cowboys placekicker Brandon Aubrey remains a high-end fantasy asset for Week 17's road clash with their division-rival Washington Commanders. The Notre Dame product has been sensational when called upon in 2025, connecting on all but one extra-point try (42-of-43) and knocking through 32-of-36 field goal attempts. Notably, the four kicks Aubrey has missed have […]

Malik Davis a Fantasy Fade on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis won't be an optimal choice for fantasy when his team takes on the hosting Washington Commanders on Christmas Day. The fourth-year pro has seen a bit of extra work over the previous two weeks, notching eight carries in consecutive outings while getting a boost in playing time. In both […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Top Fantasy Football WR Adds for Week 17 are Isaac TeSlaa, Konata Mumpfield, Adonai Mitchell, Mack Hollins, Chimere Dike, Olamide Zaccheaus, more

What's up, RotoBallers, and welcome to 2025's final edition of wide receiver waiver wire pickups. Wow. As has been the case all year, this week was not short of trials, tribulations, and "what the heck" moments. After watching Pittsburgh's DK Metcalf take a swing at a fan in the stands, I'm surprised we don't see […]
