Allen Hurns Won't Play In Season Finale

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle, neck) is inactive for Week 17 against the Patriots. Hurns will end the 2019 season with 32 receptions on 47 targets for 416 yards and two touchdowns in his first year in Miami. The Dolphins are facing one of the top secondaries in the NFL to close out […]

Odell Beckham Jr., Ricky Seals-Jones Active

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (illness) are both active for Week 17 against the Bengals. Despite also dealing with a sports hernia, OBJ will tough it out and play in the season finale. It's been a disappointing year for the first-year Brown, but Beckham still has a […]

Jameis Winston Active Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) is officially active for Week 17 against the Falcons. Winston has been playing through a fractured thumb the last two weeks, but he'll be fine to close out the season against Atlanta. The leader in passing yards through 16 weeks, Winston also leads the NFL in interceptions, so […]

Week 17 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

As Week 17 approaches -- the last week of the 2019 regular season -- most of your leagues have already crowned a champion. But for some, this is the biggest weekend of the fantasy season. Some leagues run their fantasy championships in both Weeks 16 and 17. So there is still a lot on the […]

Angels Discussing Matthew Boyd

The Los Angeles Angels have discussed a potential trade for Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd, and Angels outfield prospect Brandon Marsh was a name mentioned in dialogue between both teams, according to a source. However, both sides haven't made progress towards a deal at the moment. The Halos are still looking for rotation upgrades […]

Braves Not Aggressively Pursuing Nolan Arenado

The Atlanta Braves are unlikely to aggressively pursue a trade for Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado while Josh Donaldson remains available in free agency, according to a source. However, if Donaldson doesn't re-sign with the Braves, Atlanta trading for Arenado becomes much more plausible. It's basically a two-horse race between the Braves and Nationals, […]

Cardinals Promote Drew Anderson From Practice Squad

The Arizona Cardinals promoted quarterback Drew Anderson from the practice squad on Saturday with rookie Kyler Murray (hamstring) questionable for Week 17 against the Rams. It's looking more likely now that Murray will not play in the meaningless season finale on Sunday, and if that's the case, backup Brett Hundley would get the start under […]

Sony Michel Now Questionable For Week 17

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (illness) has been added to the Week 17 injury report against the Dolphins and is questionable to play on Sunday. The flu has been going around many clubhouses this time of year. We still expect Michel to suit up for a game that the Patriots must win in […]

Ravens Reach Extension With Marcus Peters

The Baltimore Ravens and Pro Bowl cornerback Marcus Peters agreed to a three-year, $42 million contract extension on Saturday, according to a source. The deal includes $32 million guaranteed, which is 76 percent of the total contract. Peters will make $20.5 million in the first year, and the new extension will allow him to hit […]

Texans Sign Whitney Mercilus For Four Years

The Houston Texans and linebacker Whitney Mercilus reached an agreement on Saturday on a four-year deal that will keep him from reaching free agency after the 2019 season, according to a source. Financial terms of the deal weren't given. The 29-year-old Mercilus has 48 total tackles (33 solo), 7.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, a fumble […]

Marlins Finalizing Deal With Corey Dickerson

The Miami Marlins are finalizing a two-year deal with outfielder Corey Dickerson on Saturday. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. The Marlins preferred to land Yasiel Puig, a Cuban native, but they settled for the fallback option in Dickerson. Dickerson is an underrated offensive commodity, but he played in just 78 games with the […]

Rams Place Darrell Henderson On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams placed rookie running back Darrell Henderson (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and promoted running back John Kelly from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The 22-year-old third-round pick didn't wind up playing as big of a role in the team's offense as most projected before the season. Henderson had […]

Josh Jacobs Officially Out For Week 17

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 17 against the Broncos. Jacobs will end his impressive first year in the NFL with 242 carries for 1,150 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. He added 20 receptions for 166 scoreless yards through the air. His 4.8 yards-per-carry average was […]

Doug Marrone Will Be Fired After Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone has been informed that he will be dismissed following the Week 17 season finale against the Colts, according to sources. This doesn't come as a huge surprise with the Jaguars sitting at 5-10 and in last place in the AFC South with one game remaining in the season. Marrone […]

Bengals Sign Trey Hopkins To Extension

The Cincinnati Bengals signed center Trey Hopkins to a three-year, $20.4 million extension on Saturday, according to a source. Hopkins will receive $4.5 million in a guaranteed roster bonus and will make $8.95 million in 2020 and $14.4 million after Year 2. Hopkins was a steady presence for a Bengals offensive line that was extremely […]

Golden Tate, Rhett Ellison Could Be Salary Cuts

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate and tight end Rhett Ellison could be salary cap cuts this offseason. Tate's 2020 salary isn't guaranteed because of his suspension for performance-enhancing drugs this year. The Giants could clear his $7.9 million salary off the books by cutting him, leaving only $2.3 million in dead money left. […]

David Njoku Unsure If He'll Be Back

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku, who has fallen out of favor with head coach Freddie Kitchens, will likely be gone if Kitchens remains the head coach in 2020. The No. 29 overall pick in 2017 has been a healthy scratch the last two weeks and could be out again in the Week 17 finale […]

Leonard Fournette Downgraded To Doubtful

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (illness, neck) has been downgraded to doubtful for Week 17 against the Colts. Cornerback A.J. Bouye (wrist) has also been ruled out. Fournette will finish with his second 1,000-yard season in three years and a career-high 1,152 rushing yards in 15 games, but he found the end zone just […]

Sean Mannion To Get Start Sunday

With Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins in line to rest up for the playoffs in Week 17 against the Bears, a source said on Friday that backup Sean Mannion is expected to start against Chicago. The Vikings are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC, so they have nothing to gain by playing […]

Rangers The Front-Runners For Nicholas Castellanos

The Texas Rangers appear to be the front-runners to sign outfielder Nicholas Castellanos. The Rangers missed out on signing third baseman Anthony Rendon. The Giants, Reds and Cubs are still in the mix on Castellanos. After adding Corey Kluber, Jordan Lyles and Kyle Gibson to the starting rotation, Texas is now looking for an impact […]

Eli Manning Likely To Retire

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning will likely retire at the end of this season rather than hold the clipboard again for Daniel Jones. If Manning wants to continue playing, he'll have to do so with another team in 2020, as he's set to become a free agent after this season. If this is indeed […]

Robby Anderson May Be Too Expensive For Jets

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson wants to stay with the team after the 2019 season, but he may have priced himself out of New York's plans after playing much better in recent weeks. Anderson is also going to demand more than $10 million per season over the long term. The fourth-year wideout has […]

Amari Cooper Wants To Stay With Cowboys

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper, who will be a free agent after the season, said he wants to remain with the Cowboys. Cooper could receive the franchise tag in the offseason, but Week 17 against the Redskins could also be his last game with the team if the Eagles beat the Giants. The 25-year-old […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Expected To Play Against Bengals

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (flu), who is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Bengals, is expected to play on Sunday, according to a source. Even with Beckham also playing through a hernia, he should be good to go for the season finale in Week 17. The 27-year-old has been a […]

Malik Turner Ruled Out Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Malik Turner (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the 49ers. Turner has been a non-factor for fantasy owners in 2019 with just 15 receptions on 22 targets for 245 yards and one touchdown in his second season in the NFL. In this run-first offense, it's difficult enough for […]

Charles Clay Questionable Against Rams

Arizona Cardinals tight end Charles Clay (calf) didn't practice all week but is questionable for Week 17 against the Rams. He's certainly on the wrong side of questionable for this one. The 30-year-old has only 18 receptions for 237 yards and a touchdown in 15 games this year, so fantasy owners weren't exactly looking for […]

Jameis Winston Questionable For Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (knee, thumb) practiced in full the last two days but is questionable for Week 17 against the Falcons. Winston has played the last two weeks with a fractured thumb, and he should do so again to end the 2019 regular season. Atlanta's defense has improved in the second half […]

Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas Questionable

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (calf) and Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 17 against the Bills. Safety Jamal Adams (ankle) is also questionable. While the Bills could rest some starters in the regular season finale, Anderson still isn't all that attractive for […]

Jadeveon Clowney, Shaquill Griffin To Return Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (abdomen) and cornerback Shaquill Griffin (hamstring) are not listed on the final injury report for Week 17 against the 49ers. Clowney will be making his return for the first time since Week 14. It's a huge upgrade for a Seattle pass rush as they attempt to beat the Niners […]

Allen Hurns Questionable Against Patriots

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle, neck) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 17 against the Patriots. Hurns has just 32 catches for 416 yards and two touchdowns on the season, so he hasn't really been on the fantasy radar to begin with, let alone in a tough matchup […]
