Willi Castro Signs Minor-League Deal With Twins

The Minnesota Twins signed free-agent infielder Willi Castro to a minor-league deal on Friday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Castro can play pretty much all over the diamond, but he spent most of his time in 2022 with the Detroit Tigers in the outfield. He finished the year hitting .241/.284/.367 with a […]

Steve Cishek Hangs Up His Cleats

Veteran relief pitcher Steve Cishek has decided to call it a career after 12 years in the big leagues, spanning stays with eight different teams. "It's time," Cishek said. "It's gotten harder for me to bounce back game-to-game. The ball wasn't coming out as crisp as before, and it felt like I had to pitch […]

Broncos Defense Well Off The Fantasy Map Against Chiefs

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit definitely cannot be trusted in a Week 17 matchup with the high-scoring Kansas City Chiefs offense, especially after allowing 51 points and 388 total yards to quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. On the season, Denver's D has been one of the stingier units […]

Eric Saubert Set For Bigger Role Entering Week 17

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert should start and be the team's primary pass-catching tight end for the final two games of the season after the Broncos placed rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Behind Dulcich, Saubert has been the Broncos' second-leading tight end this year in catches (12), targets (21) and […]

Courtland Sutton Will Suit Up Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (hamstring) put in a full practice on Friday and was removed from the Week 17 injury report.

David Bakhtiari Will Return Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers left tackle David Bakhtiari (appendix) doesn't carry an injury designation into the Week 17 game against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings and will play for the first time since having appendicitis. He hasn't played since Week 12. The 31-year-old's return couldn't come at a better time for the Packers in another must-win game […]

La'el Collins Put On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed right tackle La'el Collins (knee) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Collins will miss the rest of the season after he suffered a torn ACL and MCL in his left knee in the Week 16 win over the New England Patriots. With the injury coming late in the season, the 29-year-old might […]

Josh Norman Will Be Active On Sunday

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said that cornerback Josh Norman will be elevated from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 17 tilt against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 35-year-old veteran just was signed to Carolina's practice squad on Monday and will make his 2022 season debut in a […]

Derwin James Won't Play Against Rams

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Chargers Plan To Activate Joey Bosa For Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said that the plan is to activate defensive end Joey Bosa (groin) from Injured Reserve for the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Bosa was designated to return from Injured Reserve this week, and apparently the Bolts saw enough from the All-Pro pass-rusher in […]

Titans Not Committing To Joshua Dobbs For Week 18

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel is not ready to commit to naming quarterback Joshua Dobbs as the Week 18 starter against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie Malik Willis was benched in favor of Dobbs in Thursday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys. The Titans lost the game, but Dobbs did more than stake his claim […]

Jalen Hurts Could Play In Week 18

If the Philadelphia Eagles win in Week 17 against the New Orleans Saints and clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) could play in Week 18 against the New York Giants to make sure he's not idle for more than a month heading into their first playoff game. Hurts […]

Tyquan Thornton Questionable To Face Dolphins

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (knee) was limited in practices all week and is questionable to take the field in Week 17 against the division-rival Miami Dolphins. The 22-year-old second-rounder should have a pretty good shot to suit up this weekend, but he shouldn't be relied on in starting fantasy lineups, even […]

Austin Ekeler Not On The Final Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (knee) was a full participant in Friday's practice and was removed from the final Week 17 injury report. He has been cleared to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. There should be no questions about whether to start Ekeler in what is the championship in most […]

Evan Longoria Lands One-Year Deal With Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks and free-agent third baseman Evan Longoria agreed to a one-year deal on Friday. The Arizona Republic's Nick Piecoro reported that the deal is for $4 million and includes $1 million in incentives.

Greg Dulcich's Rookie Season Comes To An End

The Denver Broncos placed rookie tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday, ending his rookie season with two games left to play. The 22-year-old third-rounder had a delayed start to his first NFL season due to injury, as he didn't debut until Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He came out […]

Jerry Jeudy Expected To Play Against Chiefs

Even though he's officially listed as questionable, Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is expected to play in Week 17 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, according to interim head coach Jerry Rosburg. Kendall Hinton (hamstring) is also listed as questionable, but he won't be on the fantasy radar at all as a streamer […]

Aaron Jones Carries No Injury Designation

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle, knee) was removed from Friday's final Week 17 injury report and will play on Sunday against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Jones rolled his ankle in the Week 16 win over the Miami Dolphins, but it's obviously not a major issue and he will be active this weekend. […]

Christian Watson Questionable For Week 17

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) has been listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday, Watson returned to the field as a limited participant, giving him a shot to suit up in another must-win game. The 23-year-old second-rounder saw […]

Marquise Goodwin Doubtful To Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (shoulder, wrist) has been downgraded from questionable to doubtful for the Week 17 game against the New York Jets on Sunday. Goodwin was unable to practice all week after getting hurt in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The good news for Seattle is Tyler Lockett (finger) […]

Kenneth Walker III Should Be Good To Go

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) is listed as questionable to play in Week 17 versus the New York Jets, but head coach Pete Carroll said that Walker should be good to go on Sunday. Travis Homer (ankle) is also questionable for Seattle's backfield, but with DeeJay Dallas taking on the No. […]

Tyler Lockett Expected To Play Against Jets

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (finger) is listed as questionable to face the New York Jets in Week 17, but the expectation is that he will be able to play on Sunday, according to a source. Lockett has reportedly looked great this week after having surgery for a broken left index finger last week. […]

Deebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday despite returning to the practice field this week. The 26-year-old will miss his third straight game, so fantasy managers won't have him for their championship matchups unless you're playing for […]

Ashton Dulin, Kylen Granson Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (concussion) and tight end Kylen Granson (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the New York Giants. Dulin suffered a head injury on Monday night on the same play that got Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James ejected from the contest. The 25-year-old has been well off […]

Dante Pettis Given Questionable Tag

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis (ankle) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Week 17 against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Pettis injured his ankle early in the week but was able to return to practice on Friday, giving him a chance to suit up this weekend. With Chase Claypool (knee) also questionable […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Will Return In Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol and will play in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions after being removed from Friday's final injury report. St. Brown missed the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills but return for this weekend's divisional clash as the Bears […]

Miles Sanders Good To Go Against Saints

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) put in a full practice on Friday and will enter Sunday's Week 17 meeting with the New Orleans Saints without an injury designation. Sanders was rested on Wednesday and was limited in practice on Thursday. Philly will be without MVP candidate Jalen Hurts (shoulder) for a second straight […]

Chris Olave Questionable To Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17 action on Sunday. Olave missed the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns but has a good shot at returning this weekend after practicing all week. However, […]

Jalen Hurts Doubtful For Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but he'll head into the Week 17 game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with a doubtful tag. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fantasy managers after Hurts sprained his right shoulder in Week 15. This will […]

Gardner Minshew Saw Most Of The QB Reps This Week

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew received most of the QB repetitions at practice this week with Jalen Hurts (shoulder) battling a sprained right shoulder that kept him out of the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to several players. The Eagles have yet to name a starting QB for the Week 17 tilt […]
