Nicolas Claxton Expected To Play Against OKC

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (illness) is expected to suit up on Sunday versus OKC. He's under the weather. However, it seems he's feeling better, or at least well enough to play. At any rate, the 24-year-old has played well this season, averaging 11.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks. He's also shooting a career-high […]

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (illness) is out on Sunday versus the Wizards. He was listed as doubtful, so his absence against Washington isn't a surprise by any means. At any rate, Clint Capela will likely handle more minutes underneath the basket. But Bruno Fernando could get involved, although he's a shaky fantasy option in […]

Trae Young Available Against Washington

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) will play on Sunday against Washington. The 25-year-old appeared on the injury report because of a right knee contusion. However, he's good to go, much to the relief of fantasy managers. Young has had an All-Star season through his first 29 games of the 2023-24 campaign. But he is […]

Alvin Kamara Expected To Be Active In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) is expected to get the green light for Sunday's meeting with the Tampa Bay Bucs. He's under the weather, resulting in a questionable tag entering Week 17. But it appears the veteran will be good to go, which is good news for the Saints, a team barely […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Unlikely To Play Versus The Chargers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie has 361 yards and a touchdown off 21 receptions this season, making him the third-most productive wideout for Denver. With Courtland Sutton (concussion) out in Week 17, Mims could have gotten more involved. However, […]

Jerry Jeudy Should Be Good To Go On Sunday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (illness) is anticipated to suit up on Sunday against the Chargers. The wideout appeared on the injury report because of an illness. However, it appears he's feeling better, so he should be good to go in Week 17, barring a setback. Jeudy hasn't had the breakout year most had […]

Raheem Mostert Not Expected To Play In Week 17

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. It's a tough blow for the Dolphins. It's also not an ideal scenario for fantasy managers, considering Mostert has 21 touchdowns this season. But with Miami and Buffalo potentially battling […]

Sam LaPorta Has Seven Grabs Versus Dallas

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta finished with 84 yards off a team-high seven catches in Saturday's loss to the Cowboys. The rookie was targeted 12 times by Jared Goff on the night. While he didn't find the end zone, it was a much better showing than the one he had versus the Vikings in […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Scores A Touchdown On Saturday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had 90 yards off six catches in Saturday's one-point loss to the Cowboys. Although it wasn't the wideout's most potent performance of the 2023-24 campaign, he at least found the end zone, courtesy of an 11-yard toss from Jared Goff late in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, St. Brown […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Goes Cold In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs logged 15 carries for 43 yards in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. David Montgomery led the way out of the backfield, with the former Bear finishing with 65 yards and a touchdown off 14 attempts. Unfortunately, Gibbs couldn't make up for it on the receiving end, considering he […]

David Montgomery Finds The End Zone Again On Saturday

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery had 14 carries for 65 yards in Saturday's narrow loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Jahmyr Gibbs had one more attempt to finish with 43 yards on the night. However, the 26-year-old was more productive, scoring a touchdown for the second straight game to bring his total to 12 on […]

Jared Goff Throws Two Picks On Saturday Night

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 271 yards, one touchdown, and two picks off 19-for-34 passing in the controversial, one-point loss to Dallas on Saturday night. The signal-caller had a magical five-touchdown effort versus the Broncos in Week 15. However, after throwing just one touchdown in Week 16 against Minnesota, Goff couldn't do much […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Likely To Play In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion, shoulder) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Raiders. Pittman didn't play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, allowing Josh Downs, Kylen Granson, and Alec Pierce to combine for 23 targets from Gardner Minshew. All three players should continue to be involved on […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in all fantasy leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-ceiling fantasy back ANALYSIS: Austin Ekeler has been a top fantasy option for many years. He's had 410 carries and 177 catches in the last two seasons. The 28-year-old also totaled 38 touchdowns during that span, so it's more than apparent he's a big part of […]

Tee Higgins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Flex option all in formats POSITIONAL VALUE: Risky, high-ceiling fantasy wideout ANALYSIS: In one of the top rivalries in the National Football League, Kansas City and Cincinnati will go toe-to-toe for the fifth time in nearly two years. Unlike previous contests, both teams are in much different positions. Without question, Patrick Mahomes, Travis […]

Rashee Rice - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in all fantasy lineups POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end fantasy wide receiver ANALYSIS: The Bengals and Chiefs will meet for the fifth time since January 2022. Cincinnati has the edge during that span, winning three of the four meetings. Undoubtedly, things will look different this time around, as Joe Burrow won't be under center […]

Caleb Martin Sidelined Again

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out on Saturday night versus Utah. He'll now miss his second straight game because of a sprained right ankle. Fortunately, Miami will have Jimmy Butler (calf) back after missing the last four games, so that will help lessen the blow caused by Martin's absence. There's also a chance […]

Kyle Lowry Out Again On Saturday Night

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (head) won't play on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. The veteran will now miss his second consecutive game because of a head contusion, although there's a chance he could return on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Nonetheless, Lowry has averaged only 9.4 points this season, one of the lowest […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Good To Go Versus Utah

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) will play on Saturday against the Utah Jazz. He was questionable because of a non-COVID-related illness, although it doesn't appear he was in any real jeopardy of missing this contest. The rookie has played well above expectations during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.8 points in 31 games, including […]

Jimmy Butler Removed From The Injury Report

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) will play on Saturday versus the Jazz. The 34-year-old missed his last four contests because of a calf issue, so he may not log his usual workload in his first game back from the injury. But Butler's return will send Haywood Highsmith back to the bench. At the same […]

Knicks Acquire Precious Achiuwa From Toronto

The Knicks acquired forward/center Precious Achiuwa from the Raptors on Saturday as part of the deal that resulted in the exchange of OG Anunoby, Immanuel Quickley, and RJ Barrett. Without question, Achiuwa has had flashes of production over the years. He averaged 9.2 points and 6.0 rebounds last season. However, he was much more productive […]

Immanuel Quickley On The Move To Toronto

The Raptors acquired guard Immanuel Quickley (along with RJ Barrett) from the Knicks in exchange for OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa. Quickley, the No. 25 overall pick in the 2020 NBA Draft, is averaging a career-high 15.0 points this season. Unfortunately, he had issues remaining a consistent focal point on the offensive end […]

RJ Barrett Traded To Toronto

The Knicks traded guard RJ Barrett (and Immanuel Quickley) to the Raptors on Saturday in exchange for forward OG Anunoby, Malachi Flynn, and Precious Achiuwa. Barrett has averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.4 assists since being selected No. 3 overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He's also been one of the most durable players […]

OG Anunoby Heading To The Knicks

The Knicks acquired forward OG Anunoby from the Raptors on Saturday. In exchange, Toronto landed forward RJ Barrett and guard Immanuel Quickley. Anunoby had been rumored to be on the block for the last few seasons, although it appeared the Raptors weren't interested in sending him elsewhere. The 26-year-old has averaged 11.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, […]

Tyler Boyd Not A Safe Option On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd hasn't had a quality season. But with Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) sidelined in Week 16 versus the Steelers, Boyd had a chance to be more productive. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case, with the wideout catching five passes for 59 yards. Without question, fantasy managers were hoping for more. With this […]

Tee Higgins Hopes To Stay On Track Against The Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hasn't met expectations throughout the 2023-24 campaign. However, the wideout had one of his best performances of the season in the Week 16 loss to the Steelers, catching five passes for 140 yards and a touchdown. Of course, with Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) sidelined for that one, Higgins received extra […]

Joe Mixon Still A Must-Start In Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is off the injury report, meaning he's good to go for Sunday's meeting with the Chiefs. The 27-year-old hasn't been the most impactful runner throughout the 2023-24 campaign. However, he still had a touchdown in seven of his eight appearances leading up to the Week 16 matchup with […]

Jake Browning Aims To Keep Team's Postseason Hopes Alive

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning hopes to keep his team in the playoff conversation by picking up a win over the Chiefs in Week 17. The 27-year-old has had bouts of efficiency this season, especially in his three appearances leading up to the Week 16 AFC North clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Although he threw […]

Toumani Camara Good To Go Versus The Spurs

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (thumb) is available for Friday's rematch against the Spurs. The 23-year-old had been listed as questionable because of right thumb soreness. However, he's good to go, which is good news for Portland, considering the team won't have Deandre Ayton (knee), Anfernee Simons (illness), and Shaedon Sharpe (adductor). That said, […]

Anfernee Simons Will Miss Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) won't play in Friday's rematch with the Spurs. He'll now be sidelined for a second-straight game because of a non-COVID-related illness, so his next chance to return will be on Monday versus the Phoenix Suns.
