While some fanbases are looking ahead to the NFL playoffs and worrying about seeding, others have their sight set on the 2024 NFL Draft. When a team gets eliminated from playoff contention, the talks of "tanking" begins. This article lists the current 2024 NFL Draft order for every team after Week 16 of the regular […]

Raiders Defense Dominates Chiefs On Christmas

The Las Vegas Raiders defense had another field day in Week 16, returning a fumble for a touchdown, returning an interception for a touchdown, and limited the Kansas City Chiefs offense to 308 yards and 14 points.

Jaret Patterson Signing With Commanders Practice Squad

The Washington Commanders signed running back Jaret Patterson to the practice squad on Tuesday. Patterson signed with Washington after being undrafted in 2021 and rushed 85 times for 344 yards and two touchdowns in 20 games. He was released during final roster cuts ahead of the 2023 season and spent time on the Los Angeles […]

Zach Wilson Ruled Out For Thursday Night Football, Trevor Siemian To Start

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (concussion) will not face the Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. The third-year pro is still in the league's concussion protocol, and he will not be ready to play on a short week. This means veteran journeyman Trevor Siemian will draw his second straight start for Gang Green. Last […]

Boston Scott Ends Touchdown-Streak Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott notably scored at least one touchdown in all eight of his career games against the New York Giants heading into Monday. This streak began in December of 2019 and extended to January of 2023. Unfortunately, his luck ran out in Week 16 of the 2023 season. Scott rushed just […]

Michael Thomas, Marshon Lattimore Won't Return In Week 17

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (knee) and cornerback Marshon Lattimore (ankle) will not return from the Injured Reserve list to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Both players were placed on IR after the Week 10 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and have missed the last five games. It's an unfortunate […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Dropped From Rams Practice Squad

The Los Angeles Rams have released running back Darrell Henderson Jr. from the practice squad. Henderson was drafted by the organization in 2019 and spent four seasons with Los Angeles before being waived in the middle of the 2022 season. He rejoined the team after injuries to Kyren Williams (ankle) and Ronnie Rivers (knee) this […]

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) will be back at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The veteran missed the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury, but the team is optimistic about his chances to suit up against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. With […]

The Week 16 Christmas NFL slate was a wild one, and two new teams are in playoff position after snagging victories on Saturday or Sunday.

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 17: Derek Carr, Khalil Herbert, K.J. Osborn, Demarcus Robinson, Rashid Shaheed, Chigoziem Okonkwo, and more

The 2023 NFL season has just two weeks remaining, meaning it's time for the fantasy football championship slate in Week 17. By no surprise, the waiver wire in deep leagues is a wasteland, but there are still a chunk of players who could help you win your league for cash prizes, bragging rights, or both. […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Catches 12 Passes In Week 16 Win

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 12 of his 14 targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. He has continued to be one of the most heavily targeted players in the NFL, so he remains a must-start in leagues of all shapes and sizes. […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Posts 100 Yards And Two Scores In Week 16

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed 15 times for 80 yards and caught four of his seven targets for 20 yards in the Week 16 win over the Minnesota Vikings. The rookie speedster continued to be a mega-producer for fantasy football, so he hasn't done anything to take himself out of "must-start" territory. Fantasy […]

DeAndre Hopkins Limited To 20 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught just two passes on four targets for 20 yards in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Hopkins' best fantasy performances of the year have come with rookie Will Levis (ankle), so his letdown performance with veteran quarterback Ryan Tannehill wasn't surprising. If Tannehill starts in Week […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Leads Titans In Receiving, Finds End Zone In Loss

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo caught all six of his targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It was easily Okonkwo's best game of the season, and he paid off for any deep-league fantasy managers who rolled the dice on him. That said, he remains […]

Ryan Tannehill Throws For 152 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill completed 18 of his 26 passing attempts for 152 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran has just two passing touchdowns in eight games this year, so he remains off the fantasy radar if he draws another start next week. […]

Derrick Henry Throws And Runs For A Touchdown In Week 16

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 19 times for 88 yards and a touchdown, caught one pass for 11 yards, and threw a 12-yard touchdown in the Week 16 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. It was a bounce-back performance for the 29-year-old who posted under 20 yards on 20 touches in Week 15. Despite […]

Josh Jacobs Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 16 Fantasy Football Lineup Picks

BALLER MOVE: Bench in all Leagues (ruled out) POSITIONAL VALUE: Injured for Week 16 ANALYSIS: Josh Jacobs (quad/illness) is officially out for Week 16 and the Raiders matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day. He missed last week's blowout victory against the Los Angeles Chargers with a quad injury, and he was listed as […]

Jake Browning Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Week 16 Fantasy Football Lineup Picks (2023)

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 12-Team Leagues/Start in Superflex Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB2 ANALYSIS: Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning has been surprisingly great for fantasy football since taking over for Joe Burrow (wrist). In his last three games, Browning is averaging over 23 fantasy points. He has finished as the QB4 or higher in each week over […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo Off Fantasy Radar In Week 16

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo saw at least five targets in three games from Week 12 to Week 14, but he earned just three targets in Week 15 against the Houston Texans. The second-year pro has not established himself on the fantasy radar this season, meaning there's no reason to start him against the […]

Treylon Burks Could See More Looks In Week 16

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks showed signs of life last week against the Houston Texans, posting three receptions for 62 yards. In Week 16, he'll face a Seattle Seahawks defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts. Additionally, Nick Westbrook Ikhine (hand) has been placed on Injured Reserve, meaning his […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has Uncertain Outlook For Week 16

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has had a ton of upside in games with Will Levis (ankle), but Levis might be out against the Seattle Seahawks due to a high-ankle sprain. In six games with Ryan Tannehill, Hopkins averaged 10.8 PPR points per game. In eight games with Levis, he has averaged 15.4 PPR […]

Tyjae Spears An RB3/Flex Option Against Seattle

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has flashed upside during his rookie season, but Derrick Henry has remained the primary back for the team in 2023. However, Henry is coming off one of the worst performances of his career, posting 15 total yards on 20 touches. With Henry showing clear signs of regression and the […]

Derrick Henry In Bounce-Back Spot Against Seahawks

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had one of the worst games of his career last week, posting just 15 total yards on 20 touches. The Titans' offensive line was dominated against the Houston Texans, and there was little running room for the 240-pound back to get things going. In Week 16, he'll face a […]

Jameson Williams A Deep-League Flex Option

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw a career-high seven targets in last week's victory over the Denver Broncos. He only caught four of them for 47 yards, but it was a notable performance. In eight of his nine prior contests, Williams earned three or fewer targets. If he can post at least five targets […]

Sam LaPorta A High-End TE1 In Week 16

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta posted five catches for 56 yards and three touchdowns last week, reminding fantasy managers that he's a must-start stud at the position. Through 15 weeks of action, LaPorta ranks first in total fantasy points among tight ends. Needless to say, he has plenty of upside in all matchups and […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown In For Another Big Day In Week 16

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught just five total passes in Week 13 and Week 14, which was shocking given his two-year history of commanding a ton of targets and catching a high volume of passes. However, he bounced back in Week 15, snagging seven of his nine targets for 112 yards and […]

David Montgomery An RB2 With Upside Against Vikings

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery saw his four-game touchdown streak snapped in Week 14, and he wasn't able to find the end zone in Week 15 either. Since Jahmyr Gibbs has been the more efficient runner and handled more of the receiving work out of the backfield, Montgomery needs a touchdown or two to […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Has Plenty Of Upside In Tough Week 16 Matchup

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was spectacular last week in a favorable matchup against the Denver Broncos, rushing 11 times for 100 yards and a touchdown and catching two passes for eight yards and another score. Although he'll face a tough matchup in Week 16, he has earned a "must-start" tag due to his […]

Jared Goff Has QB1 Outlook Against Vikings

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is coming off a five-touchdown performance against the Denver Broncos. His Week 15 showing marked the ninth time in 14 games that he has posted at least two touchdowns. He's been reliable for most of the 2023 season, and fantasy managers should be able to count on him in Week […]
