Broncos Defense Has A Rough Showing In Week 17

The Denver Broncos defense came into their Week 17 meeting against the Los Angeles Chargers severely short-handed due to COVID-19 and injuries, so it's not really a surprise that they had a tough day on Sunday against a really good offense. In standard scoring for defenses, they put up negative points for fantasy managers while […]

Brandon McManus Hits A 61-Yard Kick On Sunday

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made his longest kick of the season (a 61-yarder) in the 34-13 Week 17 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Courtland Sutton Goes For 60 Yards Against Bolts

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton entered the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Chargers as the unquestioned No. 1 receiver for the Broncos with both Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick sidelined due to COVID-19.

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 […]
