Chargers Optimistic J.K. Dobbins Will Return On Saturday

Although Los Angeles Chargers running back Gus Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's Week 17 game on the road against the New England Patriots, the Chargers are optimistic that running back J.K.

Jaycee Horn Doubtful For Panthers Defense

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn (hip) is considered doubtful to play in Week 17 on Sunday versus the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers after not practicing all week. Additionally, the Panthers will be without cornerback Chau Smith-Wade (chest, illness) and linebacker Josey Jewell (concussion, quadriceps). Outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (elbow, knee), defensive end A'Shawn Robinson (knee, […]

Xavier Legette Questionable For Week 17

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Xavier Legette (hip, wrist) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's Week 17 contest against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Broncos D/ST Should Be Faded Against Cincinnati

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit has been the top fantasy defense through 15 weeks thanks to 51 sacks (second in the NFL), nine fumble recoveries, 15 interceptions (three returned for touchdowns) and only 281 points allowed. However, fantasy managers playing for a championship in Week 17 should be looking to avoid them this Saturday […]

Wil Lutz Looking To Keep Perfect Streak Alive Versus Bengals

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz enters the team's Week 17 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday on a streak of five straight games without missing a single kick. Since having a potential game-winning field goal blocked against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 10, Lutz has made all 11 of his field-goal attempts […]

Devaughn Vele Shouldn't Be In Starting Lineups In Week 17

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele scored his second touchdown of the year in last Thursday night's loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, but fantasy managers should have more reliable options to choose from for their flex spot this Saturday when the Broncos take on the Cincinnati Bengals on the road. The Bengals […]

Marvin Mims Jr. A Risky Flex Option Despite Plus Matchup

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has been more productive in recent weeks but will still be hard to trust in fantasy championship matchups in most leagues in Week 17 when the Broncos travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals on Saturday in a game with huge playoff implications for both teams. Mims has […]

Courtland Sutton A High-End WR2 Against Bengals

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton will look to get back into the end zone in Week 17 when the team travels to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals in a game with massive playoff implications on both sides. The Bengals defense has allowed 26.2 points per game (fifth-most in the league), but they've also […]

Javonte Williams A Low-Upside, Touchdown-Dependent RB3/Flex In Week 17

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams will have even less upside in a good matchup in Week 17 on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road with backfield mate Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) returning after a one-game absence. Although Williams averaged 6.0 yards per carry on the ground last week with McLaughlin sidelined in the […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Returning In Week 17, Hard To Trust In Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday and has been cleared to play in Week 17 for the big game on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals. McLaughlin was inactive for the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers last Thursday. He was Denver's leading rusher the […]

Bo Nix Has Clear QB1 Upside Against Bengals

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is in the QB1 picture for a Week 17 showdown on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. After a slow start to his rookie season, Nix has come on strong in the second half and is currently the QB11 in overall fantasy points thanks to 3,235 passing […]

Titans Add Matthew Wright To Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent kicker Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Thursday. Nick Folk (abdomen) has not practiced this week and is danger of missing another game in Week 17 when the team takes on the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Brayden Narveson filled in at kicker in the Week 16 loss to the Indianapolis […]

Tyler Boyd Hasn't Practiced This Week

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Boyd suffered a foot injury in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts and is now in danger of having to sit out this Sunday's divisional contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old veteran will need to return to […]

Sterling Shepard Misses Practice Again On Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot, hamstring) was listed as a non-participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Shepard is now in danger of sitting out the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Carolina Panthers this Sunday. He will likely need to return to the practice field on Friday to […]

Matt Prater Ruled Out For Saturday Night's Game

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (knee) was limited in practice all week but was ruled out on Friday for the team's Week 17 divisional contest against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night. Prater had his 21-day practice window opened to return from Injured Reserve last weekend and has been limited in six practices. However, […]

Trey Benson Listed As Questionable For Week 17

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Trey Benson (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is considered questionable to play in Week 17 on Saturday night against the hosting division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Lead back James Conner (knee) was also limited in practice all week and questionable for Week 17. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said […]

Tyreek Hill Limited Again On Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist, rest) remained limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Hill continues to be listed on Miami's injury report with a wrist injury that he's dealt with pretty much all year. He hasn't missed any games because of it, though, and that won't happen […]

Dyami Brown Misses Second Straight Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (hamstring) was listed as a DNP for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Brown injured his hamstring in the Week 16 win over the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles and will now need to practice on Friday in some fashion to avoid being ruled out in Week 17 as […]

Zach Ertz Returns To Practice On Thursday

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (shoulder, rest) returned to full practice on Thursday after he was rested in Wednesday's session. Ertz had a three-game stretch of finding the end zone in each game from Weeks 11-13, but in two games since the team's Week 14 bye, he's caught only three of four targets for […]

Terry McLaurin Back At Thursday's Practice

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after he was a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday. McLaurin might need to practice in full on Friday to avoid an injury designation for the weekend, but he has a pretty good shot to play now […]

Kenny Pickett Practices In Full On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Meanwhile, starter Jalen Hurts (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice this week. Pickett said he doesn't expect to have any limitations for Sunday's Week 17 contest against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. "Something I'll have to deal with," Pickett said. The […]

A.J. Brown Limited On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee, rest) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday. Brown injured his left knee in practice last Thursday and was spotted wearing a soft brace on it after practice. As long as the 27-year-old can practice again on Friday, though, there's a good chance he'll be removed […]

Davante Adams Misses Practice Again On Thursday

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams (hip) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Adams is now firmly in danger of missing the Week 17 contest against the division-rival Buffalo Bills on Sunday, but he'll have a shot of suiting up if he can return to the practice field on […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Limited Again On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) put in a second straight limited practice on Thursday this week. Valdes-Scantling might need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to avoid a questionable designation on the final injury report, but he still has a pretty good chance of being active this Sunday to take […]

Juwan Johnson Stays Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Johnson may need to be a full-go on Friday to avoid a questionable tag on the final Week 17 injury report, but he has a pretty good shot of being active this Sunday when the team […]

Derek Carr Still Missing From Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (hand) was listed as a non-participant in practice yet again on Thursday. Carr fractured his left (non-throwing) hand in the Week 14 win over the New York Giants but has missed the last two contests. The 33-year-old veteran signal-caller is battling hard to try and play before the end […]

No Practice For Alvin Kamara Again On Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) was listed as a non-participant in practice again on Thursday. Kamara injured his adductor back in the Week 15 loss to the Washington Commanders and hasn't practiced or played since. Although the 29-year-old does want to return in the final two weeks of the regular season, the […]

Christian Watson Missing Another Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) will miss a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Watson injured his left knee in Monday night's win over the New Orleans Saints and is now looking very iffy to suit up in Week 17 versus the division-rival Vikings in Minnesota on Sunday. The […]

Tommy Tremble Pops Up On Week 17 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (back, shoulder) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. It's unclear if Tremble was actually injured in Thursday's practice, but if he was, he'll be firmly in danger of missing Sunday's divisional game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. […]

Chuba Hubbard Returns To Limited Practice

After being listed as a DNP on Wednesday, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (knee) returned to practice on Thursday and was listed as limited. The Panthers were most likely just resting Hubbard early in the week, although he may have to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to avoid a questionable tag heading […]
