Chiefs Stripping Down Playbook In Week 17

The Kansas City Chiefs are in a rare offensive slump, and sources say they have whittled down their normal game plan from head coach Andy Reid's massive playbook for their Week 17 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. It will mean fewer plays, fewer personnel packages and most likely fewer players getting their hands on the […]

Trevor Lawrence Has A Chance To Play In Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will not play in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers but he could return for the regular season finale in Week 18 against the Tennessee Titans if the team has yet to clinch a playoff spot.

Broncos Defense Has Top-10 Appeal Against Chargers

The Denver Broncos defense will be a unit to consider starting in fantasy lineups during championship matchups in Week 17 given their matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Wil Lutz Ready To Bounce Back In Week 17

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz disappointed fantasy managers that started him in the Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots in a game in which he made just one extra point and missed his lone field-goal try.

Continue To Stay Away From Adam Trautman

We've been saying it all year and hope you've listened.

With Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) ruled out for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers and with Jerry Jeudy (illness) and rookie Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) questionable to play, pass-catcher Brandon Johnson will inevitably have a bigger role in the passing game on Sunday.

Javonte Williams Could See Big Workload In Week 17

Although Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams had his second rushing touchdown of the year in the Christmas Eve loss to the New England Patriots, he was pretty poor otherwise with 11 carries for only 24 yards while catching three passes for minus-five yards.

Jarrett Stidham A Desperation QB2 In First Start Of The Year

The Denver Broncos made headlines earlier this week when they announced they'd be benching quarterback Russell Wilson in favor of Jarrett Stidham for the final two regular season games due to financial reasons heading into the offseason.

The Green Bay Packers defense will now be without cornerback Eric Stokes (hamstring) for their Week 17 contest on Sunday night against the division-rival Minnesota Vikings.
