Patrick Mahomes, Other Starters Likely To Be Rested

Broncos Defense Solid, But Not Spectacular Against Bolts

The Denver Broncos Defense held the division-rival Chargers to just 19 points and just one offensive touchdown in the 19-16 Week 16 loss, but they didn't do a whole lot for fantasy managers in the process. The Broncos defense once again failed to record a takeaway against rookie quarterback Justin Herbert, but they did hold […]

Brandon McManus Has A Solid Day In Week 16

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus turned in a top-five fantasy performance at his position in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers. While he did miss his third field-goal attempt of the season, McManus also did hit three of his four field goals on the day, including one from 50-plus yards, and his lone extra […]

Sammy Watkins Suffers Calf Injury

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) suffered a calf injury in the Week 16 win over the Falcons, but it's not believed to be a serious injury, according to a source.

K.J. Hamler Suffers Concussion In Week 16 Loss

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler (concussion) was evaluated for a concussion early in the Week 16 game against the Chargers and was eventually ruled out for the rest of the game.

Tim Patrick Does Little In Week 16 Loss

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick did very little for his fantasy managers in the Week 16 loss to the Chargers, catching three of his four targets for 39 yards. Patrick has been the team's most productive wideout this year in place of the injured Courtland Sutton, but he's slowing down to end the season. […]

Jerry Jeudy Has A Case Of The Drops

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had a season-high 15 targets in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers, but he caught just six of those targets for 61 yards in the 19-16 loss. It was a nice rebound effort after a five-game stretch that saw him catch seven passes on 22 targets […]

Noah Fant Catches Six Passes In Loss To Chargers

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant continued to be a big part of the offense in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers. Fant had six receptions on nine targets for 65 yards.

DaeSean Hamilton Leads Broncos In Receiving In Week 16

Denver Broncos wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton surprisingly led the team in receiving in the 19-16 Week 16 loss to the division-rival Chargers. Hamilton had five catches on nine targets for 77 yards in the contest. His nine targets were tied for second-most on the team with tight end Noah Fant. The nine targets were also […]

Kyler Murray Uncertain For Week 17

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that quarterback Kyler Murray (leg) has a "lower-leg injury" and his status for Week 17 against the division-rival Rams is in question. Murray was leg-whipped on the final play of the game on Saturday in the loss to the 49ers. He was just 31-for-50 for 247 yards, no […]

Lions Defense Releases Jayron Kearse

The Detroit Lions released starting safety Jayron Kearse on Monday, according to a source.

Royce Freeman, LeVante Bellamy Combine For Five Carries

Denver Broncos running backs Royce Freeman and rookie Levante Bellamy saw some extra run in the 19-16 Week 16 loss to the Chargers with Phillip Lindsay on Injured Reserve. However, the two running backs combined for just five carries and 27 yards on the ground and three catches for 12 yards through the air. Melvin […]

Melvin Gordon III Runs For 79 Yards Against Chargers

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had the backfield all to himself in Week 16 against his former team, the Chargers, but he couldn't exactly take advantage of it with Phillip Lindsay inactive due to injury. Gordon carried the ball 16 times for 79 yards (4.9 yards per carry) and wasn't involved in the […]

Frank Gore To Miss Week 17 Finale

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (lung), who became the third player in NFL history to run for 16,000 yards in the Week 16 win over the Browns, will not play in Week 17 against the Patriots due to a lung contusion. Gore ran the ball 14 times for 48 yards against Cleveland and […]

Drew Lock Has Another Underwhelming Performance

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock went 24-for-47 for 264 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions in the 19-16 loss to the division-rival Chargers in Week 16, but he did run the ball five times for 15 yards and a touchdown to somewhat salvage his below-average performance. Lock has thrown 15 interceptions and lost four fumbles […]

Jalen Hurts To Start In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team on Sunday night. Hurts has started the last three games after taking over for an ineffective Carson Wentz in Week 13. In his first three NFL starts, Hurts has gone 62-for-113 for 847 […]

Doug Pederson Expects To Return In 2021

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson doesn't think his job is in jeopardy and "fully expects" to return as the head coach next season despite losing to the division-rival Cowboys in Week 16 to eliminate the team from postseason contention. As Pederson pointed out, the Eagles have won a championship and have made the playoffs […]

Christian McCaffrey Unlikely To Play In Week 17

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he's "probably leaning towards no" when it comes to running back Christian McCaffrey's (quadriceps, shoulder) availability for the regular season finale in Week 17 against the Saints, but the team will know more on Wednesday. McCaffrey hasn't played since Week 9 and has only appeared in three games […]

Terry McLaurin In Walking Boot

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is in a walking boot because of his high-ankle sprain, according to head coach Ron Rivera. McLaurin was kept out of the lineup in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers. Washington could really use the 25-year-old pass-catcher in the lineup for a must-win Week 17 game […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Released

The Washington Football Team released quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. on Monday. The rough week for Haskins continued on Monday. It comes after he was benched in favor of Taylor Heinicke in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers in which he went 14-for-28 for 154 yards, two interceptions and a lost fumble. The former 15th […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Believed To Have High-Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (ankle) is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Seahawks, making it unlikely that he plays in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Cardinals, according to a source.

Jakeem Grant Sr. Won't Play In Week 17

Miami Dolphins wide receiver/kick returner Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 win over the Raiders on Saturday night, according to a source.

Taylor Heinicke Jumps Dwayne Haskins Jr. On Depth Chart

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Taylor Heinicke will start in Week 17 against the Eagles if Alex Smith (calf) cannot play for the third straight game.

Washington Optimistic About Alex Smith For Week 17

The Washington Football Team is optimistic that quarterback Alex Smith (calf) will be back for Week 17 against the Eagles on Sunday night. The team was also optimistic last week that he would play in Week 16 against the Panthers, but that ultimately did not happen, so we'll have to see how much he can […]

John Wolford Likely To Start In Week 17

Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback John Wolford is likely to be the starter in Week 17 against the Cardinals after Jared Goff (thumb) suffered a potentially season-ending broken and dislocated thumb in the Week 16 loss to the Seahawks. Goff is waiting to see how his thumb is after the swelling goes down, but either […]

Laremy Tunsil Unlikely To Play In Season Finale

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) suffered what is believed to be a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals and he is highly unlikely to play in Week 17 against the Titans, according to a source.

T.J. Yeldon Tests Positive For COVID-19

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. He will not travel or play in the Monday night game against the division-rival Patriots on Monday night. It doesn't mean much for a fantasy standpoint, as Devin Singletary and rookie Zack Moss should continue to […]

Ha-seong Kim Has Picked A Team

Korean shortstop Ha-seong Kim has picked a team and is negotiating whether the contract will be fully guaranteed at the major league level, according to Korean media reports. The Kiwoom Heroes star had received multiple offers in the five-plus-year range earlier in the week, but it appears that he is closing in on a deal […]
