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. Henderson is undergoing more tests on Monday to determine […]

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. Grant will not play in Week 17 against the division-rival Bills, and Injured Reserve is a possibility, meaning that he could miss some playoff games if the […]

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. It means that Dwayne Haskins Jr., who was benched in favor of Heinicke in the Week 16 loss to the Panthers, has been demoted […]

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. Tunsil will finish up a Pro Bowl season as the blind-side protector for quarterback […]

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 […]

Padres Have Discussed Yu Darvish

The San Diego Padres have been in contact with starting pitcher Yu Darvish after losing out on Japanese right-hander Kohei Arihara this weekend after he signed with the Rangers. The Friars could also attempt to sign Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, who they've talked with as well. Darvish finished second in the National League Cy Young […]

Alex Smith Out, Dwayne Haskins Jr. Starting Again

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Panthers. Dwayne Haskins Jr., who was fined and had his captainship removed after violating COVID-19 protocols earlier this week, will make his second straight start. The second-year QB was benched earlier this season but now has a chance […]

Will Bears Consider Re-Signing Mitchell Trubisky?

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has played some of the best football in his career recently and has made a case to be re-signed after he had his fifth-year option declined before the season, according to some NFL executives. If the Bears win their final two games, they'll clinch a playoff berth, which would make […]

Ben Roethlisberger Has Arthritic Knees

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knees) is healthier now than he has been all season heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Colts, but he has been managing arthritic knees this season and suffered a hyperextended knee in Week 13. Roethlisberger will have to continually monitor his knees for however long he wants to […]

Vic Fangio Will Return In 2021

The Denver Broncos plan to bring head coach Vic Fangio back for the 2021 season, according to league sources. There had been speculation that Denver might consider a coaching change after a fourth straight losing season. They are currently 5-9 and enter Week 16 tied for last place in the AFC West with their Week […]

Antonio Gibson Should Have Sizable Role Against Panthers

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is back for Week 16 against the Panthers and should have a sizable role after sitting out the team's last two games with a painful turf-toe injury. The 22-year-old from Memphis has been the best fantasy back in Washington's backfield this year and he'll return to […]

Terry McLaurin Officially Out In Week 16

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is officially out for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin was previously listed as doubtful, so his fantasy managers should have already benched him and made alternate plans for championship week. It's a tough blow for Washington and fantasy managers with everything on the line, as McLaurin […]

Damon Harrison Asks For His Release

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Damon Harrison asked for his release after learning that he'd be inactive in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, and the team plans to grant his wish next week, according to sources. The Seahawks have enjoyed their time with Harrison and hopes he has a change of heart, but it seems […]

Red Sox Have Strong Interest In Kike Hernandez

The Boston Red Sox have strong interest in free-agent utility man Kike Hernandez, according to sources. Hernandez has spent the last six years with the Dodgers and played for Puerto Rico in the 2017 World Baseball Classic when current Red Sox manager Alex Cora was the general manager. Michael Chavis, Yairo Munoz and Christian Arroyo […]

Christian McCaffrey Officially Out In Week 16

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Washington Football Team. McCaffrey has been a giant bust for fantasy managers, playing in just three games all season after being the consensus No. 1 overall fantasy selection. At this point with just one meaningless game in Week […]

Duke Johnson To Miss Another Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (neck) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Bengals. Johnson also missed last week and has fallen out of fantasy favor now that David Johnson is back as the team's lead back. C.J. Prosise should serve as Johnson's backup this Sunday, but he has very little […]

Tyler Boyd Ruled Out Against Texans

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Texans. Boyd suffered a concussion on Monday night against the Steelers and couldn't get cleared from the league's protocols in order to play this Sunday. Houston's secondary is a great matchup for opposing passing games, but it'll still be […]
