Happy holidays, everyone. Week 17 began with two Christmas Day games, with the Chiefs and Ravens both picking up easy wins. With contests scheduled for Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, it’s a good time to check on the health of some of the tight ends around the National Football League.   Being up-to-date on NFL injury […]

Luka Doncic To Miss An "Extended Period Of Time"

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is likely "to miss an extended period of time." The 25-year-old was listed on the injury report because of a heel injury heading into the Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves but was able to suit up. Unfortunately, he lasted only 16 minutes […]

Kenyon Martin Jr. Out At Least Two Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers forward Kenyon Martin Jr. (foot) suffered a stress reaction in his left foot, an MRI revealed on Tuesday. Unfortunately, he will miss at least two weeks before he's re-evaluated. KJ is having his best season in years, averaging 6.4 points. While that hasn't made Martin a practical fantasy asset in redraft formats, his […]

Andre Drummond May Miss Wednesday's Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond (toe) is questionable for Wednesday's encounter with the Boston Celtics. The veteran has had a decent season. However, he was more impactful for fantasy managers when he filled in for Joel Embiid (face) this season, averaging 8.1 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 14 starts. But with Embiid available, […]

Joel Embiid Available On Christmas Day

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face) is listed as available for Wednesday's Christmas matchup with the Celtics. He recently returned from his latest stint on the shelf caused by a sinus fracture. Fortunately, the multi-time All-Star is returning to form after suffering multiple injuries this season, amassing 31 points or more in two of the […]

Jaden Hardy Questionable For Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's Christmas clash with the Timberwolves. He has missed the last six games because of a sprained ankle. However, the 22-year-old is seemingly moving in a favorable direction regarding a return to the court. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Hardy is having the worst year of his […]

Luka Doncic Probable For Christmas Matchup With Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) is probable for the Christmas meeting with the Timberwolves. Doncic missed the two previous games heading into Monday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. He played well enough in that one despite going 1-for-7 from behind the arc, amassing 27 points, seven rebounds, and seven assists. With that in […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Uncertain To Face Minnesota

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (leg) is questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 32-year-old has had a rough season, averaged 11.3 points and 33.7% shooting from behind the arc, both career-lows. With Trae Young (foot) also questionable, Bogdanovic has a chance to get more involved against Minnesota. However, if Young and Bogdanovic […]

Trae Young Questionable On Monday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (heel) is questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves. The former Oklahoma Sooner missed Saturday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies because of a heel contusion. He's also battled Achilles soreness, although he's been able to play through that injury. At any rate, if Young isn't available, Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels, […]

John Collins Doubtful Against Cleveland

Utah Jazz forward John Collins (hip) isn't expected to play on Monday versus the Cavs. The veteran had 13 points, 11 rebounds, and one steal in Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. However, he's bothered by a hip contusion, which is expected to keep him off the floor against arguably the best team in the […]

Keyonte George Unlikely To Play Against The Cavs

Utah Jazz guard Keyonte George (ankle) isn't expected to play on Monday against the Cavaliers. He has been a productive option for Utah this season, averaging 16.2 points and 5.7 assists. Unfortunately, the 21-year-old missed Saturday's win over the Brooklyn Nets because of a sprained ankle and appears to be heading toward a second-consecutive absence. […]

Brandon Miller Out Versus Houston

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) remains out on Monday versus Houston. The 22-year-old has had a quality 2024-25 campaign, averaging 21.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.1 steals, all career-highs. He's missed the last two games because of a sprained ankle, so his next chance to get back on the floor will be on Thursday […]

Paolo Banchero Making More Progress

Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero (oblique) remains out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The 22-year-old was having an MVP-caliber season, averaging 29.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 5.6 assists. However, he suffered a torn oblique in the October 30 matchup with the Chicago Bulls and has missed the last 25 games. Fortunately, he's moving […]

Jalen Suggs Questionable On Monday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) is questionable for Monday's meeting with the visiting Celtics. Suggs has had a productive 2024-25 campaign, averaging career-highs in points (16.0), rebounds (4.2), assists (3.9), and steals (1.5). He suffered an ankle injury in Thursday's loss to OKC and wasn't on the floor for Saturday's win over the Miami […]

Mike Gesicki Has Two Grabs In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had two catches for 14 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. The veteran had another underwhelming showing in Week 16. However, that's not surprising with Joe Burrow primarily focused on feeding Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Chase Brown. With that in mind, Gesicki should continue to have a […]

Andrei Iosivas Finds The End Zone In Win Over The Browns

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas caught all three targets for 53 yards in Sunday's much-needed victory over the Browns. He also had a touchdown, finding the end zone off a six-yard throw from Joe Burrow in the second quarter. The wideout began the year by scoring three times in the Bengals' first three games. […]

Tee Higgins Finds The End Zone On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had 58 yards and a touchdown off a team-high eight catches in the win over the Browns in Week 16. The wideout continues to get it done for fantasy managers, finding the end zone in five of his previous six appearances. Although Ja'Marr Chase commands attention from Joe Burrow […]

Chase Brown Has Another Quality Showing In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 91 yards off 18 carries in Sunday's win over the Browns. He added three catches for 18 yards. Although Brown didn't find the end zone, fantasy managers were likely satisfied with his performance. With Cincinnati still in the playoff hunt, the Bengals will look for a win […]

Jordyn Brooks Questionable To Return On Sunday

Miami Dolphins linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee, quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. The 27-year-old has had a fantastic game, totaling seven tackles and a sack. However, the Dolphins put this game out of reach, so IDP managers shouldn't expect to see him back on the field. But Miami will need […]

Baylon Spector Doubtful To Return Against The Pats

Buffalo Bills linebacker Baylon Spector (calf) is doubtful to return to Sunday's meeting with the Patriots. The 26-year-old has had the best season of his career, totaling 37 tackles and a sack in 10 games leading up to Week 16. He suffered a calf injury, so he'll likely miss the remainder of the contest, meaning […]

Kenneth Walker III Unlikely To Return On Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is unlikely to return to Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. He missed the last two games because of an calf injury and wasn't a lock to play in Week 16. However, Walker was active and has played well, amassing 31 yards off eight carries and catching […]

DeVonta Smith Has Six Grabs In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith had six catches for 51 yards in Sunday's three-point loss to the Commanders. The 26-year-old had a touchdown in each of the previous two games heading into Week 16. Although he didn't find the end zone in this one, he still had a decent showing, especially with Kenny Pickett […]

A.J. Brown Leads The Way Versus Washington

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a game-high eight grabs for 97 yards in Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders. He also had a touchdown, pulling in a four-yard throw from Kenny Pickett in the first quarter. Jalen Hurts (concussion) was ruled out early in this one. However, Brown still managed to put together […]

Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor Pick Up DNPs On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Zay Flowers (shoulder) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) were listed as DNPs in Sunday's practice estimation. Flowers had five catches for 100 yards in the win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. But he came out of the game with a shoulder injury, so he wouldn't have practiced had the team actually […]

Justice Hill Absent In Sunday's Practice Estimation

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) didn't practice in Sunday's estimation. The 27-year-old had two carries for 30 yards in Saturday's AFC North encounter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he suffered a concussion and did not return. While there's a chance Hill could be ready for the Christmas meeting with the Houston Texans, it's […]

Tank Dell Unsurprisingly A DNP In Practice Estimation

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) was listed as a DNP in Sunday's practice estimation. Of course, this isn't surprising, considering the wideout suffered a fractured kneecap in Saturday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. While he hasn't been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see […]

George Pickens Limited In Practice Estimation

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) was limited in Sunday's practice estimation. The wideout has missed the last three games because of a hamstring injury, so the update isn't surprising. However, it was reported earlier on Sunday that Pickens has a "real chance" to return on Christmas versus the Kansas City Chiefs. Of course, […]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Has A Rough Game On Sunday, Should Start In Week 17

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (calf) threw for 157 yards and two interceptions off 20-for-34 passing in Sunday's loss to the Bengals. He added nine carries for 49 yards. While DTR got it done as a runner, his ability on the passing end was another story. But it appears Thompson-Robinson will get a chance to […]

Kenny Pickett Plays As Well As Expected In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett threw for 143 yards, one touchdown, and one interception off 14-for-24 passing in Sunday's loss to the Commanders. He added three carries for 13 yards. Jalen Hurts (concussion) was hurt in the first quarter and didn't return. Although Pickett got off to a strong start after taking over, finding A.J. […]

Saquon Barkley Has Another Massive Performance On Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 yards and two touchdowns off 29 carries in Sunday's narrow loss to the Washington Commanders. Jalen Hurts (concussion) got hurt in the first quarter and didn't return. As a result, Barkley got a season-high 29 touches. Unfortunately, it didn't help, with the Eagles dropping their third game […]
