Aaron Rodgers Being Evaluated For Concussion

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (concussion) has left the Week 17 game against the Lions and is being evaluated for a concussion. It's bad news for those that are using Rodgers with something on the line in the regular season finale in a meaningless game. He was already more of a weak QB1 going […]

Buccaneers Intend To Bring Jameis Winston Back

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers intend to bring quarterback Jameis Winston back as their starter in 2019, according to league sources. Winston was suspended for the first three games this year and was benched midseason, but they believe he's still their quarterback of the future and is still only 24 years old. Winston is due to […]

Kenny Golladay Out, LeGarrette Blount Active In Week 17

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Packers, while running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) is active. It leaves quarterback Matthew Stafford with a bare cupboard of playmakers in a meaningless season finale. T.J. Jones, Brandon Powell and Andy Jones will be his receivers. It's best to […]

Rod Smith To Start Against Giants

Dallas Cowboys running back Rod Smith will officially start in the backfield in Week 17 against the Giants with the team resting Ezekiel Elliott in a game that means nothing. It will be Smith's second career start, but Darius Jackson is also expected to see a healthy workload. Smith is a good value pick as […]

Davante Adams, Equanimeous St. Brown Inactive

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Davante Adams (knee) and Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) are both inactive for Week 17 against the Lions. It means that Adams will fall just short of the franchise marks for receptions and receiving yards in a single season. He was one of the more consistent WR1s in fantasy all year […]

Keke Coutee, D'Onta Foreman Inactive For Week 17

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) and running back D'Onta Foreman are both inactive for Week 17 against the Jaguars. Coutee has now missed the last five games and has played in just six games in his rookie season. Houston will hope to have him healthy for the playoffs, where he'll likely be […]

Leonard Fournette Out, Carlos Hyde Active

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Texans, while Carlos Hyde (knee) is active. Fournette was doubtful coming in and was a huge fantasy bust in 2018. He's now become a very shaky and injury-prone RB1 heading into next season. Some combination of T.J. Yeldon, Hyde […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Out Against Jets

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) is inactive for Week 17 against the Jets. Patterson has been mostly a gadget player with Rex Burkhead, James White and Sony Michel forming a three-headed backfield monster behind Tom Brady. With Josh Gordon no longer with the team, it'll be Julian Edelman, Chris Hogan and Phillip […]

Drew Brees, Alvin Kamara Inactive In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees and running back Alvin Kamara are both inactive for Week 17 against the Panthers. The Saints have already locked up home-field advantage and the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs, so it doesn't make sense for their studs to play in a meaningless game. Don't expect Michael Thomas […]

Devin Funchess Inactive Against Saints

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Devin Funchess is a healthy inactive for Week 17 against the Saints. With nothing on the line, the Panthers have elected to rest Funchess to close out the year. He faded for fantasy owners down the stretch, but it didn't help that quarterback Cam Newton (shoulder) struggled to get him the […]

DeSean Jackson Officially Inactive

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (Achilles) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Falcons. D-Jax missed practice all week and was doubtful to begin with. He very well played his final game in Tampa last week and would prefer a change of scenery for 2019. While Jackson was disappointing outside of three […]

Carson Wentz To Have Scan Next Week

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz (back) isn't expected to play in the postseason if the Eagles advance, but he'll have a scan after the regular season to see if he has a chance to play in the playoffs. Even if Philly sneaks into the playoffs, we don't expect to see Wentz running the show under […]

Marcus Mariota Risks Long-Term Injury

Updating a previous report, Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger), who is not expected to play on Sunday night in a must-win game against the Colts, would risk potential long-term injury if he plays, according to sources familiar with his injury. He will test his arm in pregame warmups but further damage would put his […]

T.Y. Hilton, Eric Ebron Optimistic About Playing

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (ankle) and tight end Eric Ebron (concussion, knee) are both optimistic that they will play in the must-win Week 17 Sunday night game against the Titans, according to sources. Hilton hasn't really practiced much in the last three weeks, but he continues to play and has been very effective […]

James Conner Expected To Play Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) is expected to play in Week 17 against the Bengals after three full practices last week. However, the team still wants to see how he does in warmups before officially making him active, according to a source. It looks like Conner will return after a three-game absence. That […]

Antonio Brown Still Has Chance To Play

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) still has a chance to play in a must-win Week 17 game against the Bengals, according to a source. His knee is still causing him discomfort, but he'll work out before the game to decide his status. Brown definitely won't be 100 percent if he suits up, but […]

Carlos Hyde Expected To Play Against Texans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde (knee), who is questionable for the Week 17 finale against the Texans, is expected to play, according to a source. With Leonard Fournette likely out, the Jags will use some combination of T.J. Yeldon, Hyde and David Williams. It's anyone's guess as to who gets most of the work, […]

Marcus Mariota Intends To Play Against Colts

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota (stinger), who is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Colts on Sunday night, is going into pregame warmups on Sunday with the intention of playing, according to a source. Mariota won't be 100 percent and will have a better idea of his status before the game. Mariota is […]

John Brown Expected To Play In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver John Brown (hamstring), who is questionable for Week 17 against the Browns, is expected to play, according to a source. Brown should be active in a game the Ravens need to win in order to win the division, but he's not a very attractive WR4/flex with fantasy championships on the line. […]

James Conner Will Be Tested In Pregame Warmups

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) is determined to play in a must-win Week 17 matchup against the Bengals, but the team wants to test him in pregame warmups before a final determination is made, according to a source. Conner has missed the last three games due to a high ankle sprain, and his […]

Antonio Brown In Danger Of Missing Week 17

There isn't much optimism surrounding Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown (knee) and his chances of playing in a must-win Week 17 game against the Bengals, according to sources. His knee didn't respond well to playing the Week 16 game on turf and he didn't practice again on Saturday. He will come down to a […]

Hunter Henry Could Return In Wild-Card Round

Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco left the door open for tight end Hunter Henry (knee) to return to action in the wild-card round of the playoffs next weekend. Henry suffered an ACL injury in the spring but has made good progress and could be an option to help the team in the playoffs. […]

Jonathan Lucroy Agrees With Angels

The Los Angeles Angels agreed with free-agent catcher Jonathan Lucroy on a one-year, $3.35 million deal on Friday, according to league sources. He can make $4 million total with performance bonuses. An All-Star backstop as recently as 2016 with the Brewers, Lucroy has fallen on hard times with the bat the last two years with […]

DeSean Jackson Would Like To Return To Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who has already expressed his interest to move on in 2019, said he would really like to return and play for the Philadelphia Eagles, according to sources. D-Jax missed four of the last five weeks of the season due to thumb and Achilles issues, but he averaged nearly […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 17 against the Jets in the regular season finale. Tight end Dwayne Allen (knee) is also questionable. Patterson saw just five touches in Week 16 without Josh Gordon around and remains a desperation fantasy play as […]

Randall Cobb Taken Off Final Injury Report

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb (concussion) has cleared the concussion protocol and was taken off the final injury report on Friday for Week 17 against the Lions. Cobb missed last week's game but will return to his slot duties in the regular season finale. Still, he's a low-ceiling WR4/flex option who hasn't done […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Unlikely To Play

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown remains in the concussion protocol and is doubtful to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Lions. It's a bummer for fantasy owners, as St. Brown had become the No. 2 behind Davante Adams in recent weeks. He'll finish his rookie campaign with 21 […]

Davante Adams Listed As Questionable

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Lions in a meaningless game. Adams didn't practice all week but needs just two catches to break the team's single-season reception mark. “I see myself being out there. I’m always going to be optimistic," Adams said on Wednesday. […]

Marquise Goodwin, Garrett Celek Ruled Out

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (calf) and tight end Garrett Celek (concussion) have both been ruled out for Week 17's season finale against the Rams. Goodwin was a popular breakout candidate in the preseason, but he's been a bust mostly because of injuries in 2018. He'll finish with 23 catches for 395 yards […]

Kenny Golladay, LeGarrette Blount Questionable For Week 17

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest) and running back LeGarrette Blount (knee) were both limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 17 against the Packers. In a meaningless game, both players could easily be held out. However, if Golladay plays, he's really the only Detroit skill player worth using in fantasy […]
