Javonte Williams Doesn't Get Much Going Against Chargers

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams led the team with 14 carries in the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, but he mustered only 30 rushing yards (2.1 yards per carry) and caught his only target in the passing game for two yards. It was an extremely disappointing day for […]

Melvin Gordon III Leads Broncos With 43 Rushing Yards

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III led the team in Sunday's 34-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers with 10 carries for 43 yards while adding three catches on four targets for 29 yards in the passing game. Gordon had four fewer carries than rookie Javonte Williams, but he was more productive on the […]

Jimmy Garoppolo To Start In Week 18 If Healthy

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) will start in Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams if he's healthy enough to play. "We're not just going to throw a guy in after one game like this when Jimmy has been doing it for us all year," Shanahan said. […]

Drew Lock Throws For 245 Yards, One Touchdown

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock was much better in the Week 17 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, going 18-for-25 for 245 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions. The 25-year-old missed some time in the first half when he went to the locker room to have his shoulder examined, but he returned and […]

Texans Expected To Keep David Culley

The Houston Texans are expected to retain head coach David Culley in 2022, according to a source. Barring an unexpected turn of events, the Texans are expected to finalize that decision next week after the regular season finale against the Tennessee Titans. Houston is only 4-12 this year, but they've already matched their win total […]

Buccaneers Done With Antonio Brown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians announced after the Week 17 game against the New York Jets that wide receiver Antonio Brown's career with the team is over after he walked off in the middle of the win over the Jets on Sunday. Brown went off the rails and took his jersey and shirt […]

Antonio Brown Implodes Sunday, Walks Off The Field

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown left the field on Sunday against the New York Jets in the second half after taking off his jersey and shirt to throw it into the stands. Teammate Mike Evans attempted to calm Brown down before the outburst, but to no avail. Before his meltdown, AB had three […]

Ronald Jones II Injured Sunday Against Jets

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) suffered an ankle injury late in the second half of Sunday's game against the New York Jets and is questionable to return to the contest. Before the injury, Jones had 10 carries for 26 yards and caught his lone target for one yard, so this will […]

Alex Collins Ruled Out In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen), who came into the Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions as questionable, has been ruled out for Sunday's game. Collins hasn't been valuable to fantasy managers in a while. Rashaad Penny has become Seattle's lead back and will have a pristine matchup against a poor Lions rush […]

Jared Goff Officially Out Against Seahawks

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Goff missed last week due to COVID-19, but he'll miss his second straight game this week with a knee injury that he suffered in the Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Backup Tim Boyle went 24-for-34 for 187 […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Ty Montgomery Active In Week 17

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Lil'Jordan Humphrey (illness) and Ty Montgomery (back) are both active in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Tre'Quan Smith (chest) was officially ruled out on Friday, but the Saints are also getting Deonte Harris back from a suspension. Expect Harris and Marquez Callaway to be the team's most targeted pass-catchers […]

Mark Ingram II Won't Play On Sunday

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Ingram last missed a game with a knee injury on Thanksgiving, but he'll miss another one this weekend after popping up on the injury report on Thursday. Ingram just doesn't have any standalone fantasy value […]

Rondale Moore Ruled Out Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Rondale Moore (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. It will be Moore's second straight missed game. The rookie hasn't had much fantasy appeal in single-year formats in Arizona's loaded offense. The 21-year-old has caught 54 of his 64 targets on the year for 435 […]

James Conner To Miss Second Straight Game

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. Conner missed the first two practices of the week before being limited on Friday, which gave him a chance to be active this weekend. However, the Cardinals will keep him out for the second straight game. It's a […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Officially Inactive

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is officially inactive in Week 17 against the Houston Texans. Garoppolo didn't practice all week and was doubtful coming into the game, so this shouldn't come as a surprise for fantasy managers. Rookie first-rounder Trey Lance will make his second career start, with Nate Sudfeld backing him up. […]

Elijah Mitchell Officially Active Against Texans

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is officially active on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 17. Mitchell will return after missing the last three games and should serve as the team's featured rusher in an excellent matchup against one of the worst rushing defenses in the NFL. The 23-year-old has […]

Chris Conley Active In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) is officially active for the Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Conley had three catches for 60 yards and his second touchdown of the season in last week's surprising win over the Denver Broncos, but he'll be a desperation WR4/5/flex play in deeper leagues […]

Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon III Active

Denver Broncos running backs Javonte Williams (knee) and Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) are both active for the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both running backs were fully expected to play all week long and were never really in danger of sitting out this weekend. The Broncos have leaned on their strong […]

Courtland Sutton Active Against Chargers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (illness) is officially active and will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos were hit hard by COVID-19 this week and receivers Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick are out, so Sutton could have a big game for the first time in a long time. Sutton has […]

MyCole Pruitt Suffers Ugly Leg Injury

Tennessee Titans tight end MyCole Pruitt (leg) suffered a gruesome right leg injury in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins. Pruitt was placed in an air cast and carted off the field before quickly being ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game. He wasn't targeted at all in the game before suffering the injury. […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Ruled Out With Neck Injury

Washington Football Team tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (neck) was carted off the field in Week 17 against the Philadelphia Eagles and will not return with a neck injury. Seals-Jones was injured when he crashed into a cameraman on the sidelines in the first half. Before leaving the game, Seals-Jones caught one of his two targets […]

Michael Carter Won't Return Sunday

New York Jets running back Michael Carter (concussion) and left tackle George Fant (knee) have been downgraded to out on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carter suffered a head injury early in the first half and was diagnosed with a concussion, so he has entered the league's concussion protocol and will not return to […]

Lamar Jackson Officially Inactive

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Jackson was trending toward missing his third straight game when he missed practice on Thursday and Friday. Backup Tyler Huntley, who missed last week due to COVID-19, will make another start in place of the hobbled […]

Should I Start Jordan Howard or Boston Scott in Week 17? Fantasy Football Start/Sit

Christmas is over, but we hope fantasy managers out there have another gift to unwrap in Week 17, when most fantasy leagues come to an end with one manager standing victorious on the mountain top. If you were fortunate enough to advance to your league's championship, you may be faced with some challenging situations with […]

Is Carson Wentz Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Fantasy football lineup decisions have become even tougher to make due to COVID-19 outbreaks around the league the last few weeks. And now it's Week 17, which is the championship in most fantasy leagues. The latest injury and COVID news will inform fantasy managers' decisions to close out the 2021 season. The Indianapolis Colts have […]

Tre'Quan Smith Out, Lil'Jordan Humphrey Questionable

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Receivers Lil'Jordan Humphrey (illness) and Ty Montgomery (back) were listed as questionable. Neither Humphrey nor Montgomery were able to practice on Friday, putting their status in question this weekend. The good […]

James Conner Questionable To Face The Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. Conner missed the first two practice days this week, but his limited showing on Friday at least gives him a chance to suit up on Sunday. The 26-year-old missed […]

Elijah Mitchell Questionable To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 17. Mitchell is trending toward returning to action this weekend after missing the last three games. The 23-year-old was a high-end RB2 as the team's […]

Chris Conley Questionable For Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. Conley played in last week's surprising win over the Los Angeles Chargers and had three catches for 60 yards and a touchdown, so there's a good chance he'll play […]

Kendall Hinton, Diontae Spencer Could See Expanded Roles

The Denver Broncos may be desperate for pass-catchers in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers after they placed wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick on the COVID-19 list. Courtland Sutton could be joining them there before Sunday's contest. If all three receivers are out, Kendall Hinton and Diontae Spencer could serve as the […]
