Bijan Robinson Explodes for 229 Total Yards, Two Touchdowns on Monday Night

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson delivered an all-time performance in Monday night's win over the Los Angeles Rams, handling 22 carries for 195 yards and a touchdown to go with five catches (eight targets) for 34 yards and another touchdown as a receiver. Robinson scored the longest touchdown in Falcons history with a 93-yard […]


D'Andre Swift Finds End Zone Twice in Sunday Night Loss

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift recorded nine carries for 54 yards and two touchdowns to go with two catches (three targets) for 25 yards in Sunday night's 42-38 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Swift notched his second multi-touchdown game of the season, with the other coming two weeks ago against the Browns in […]


Caleb Williams Throws for 330 Yards, Two Touchdowns in Loss to 49ers

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams delivered an outstanding performance on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers despite the loss, completing 25 of 42 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns while adding five carries for 18 yards on the ground. Williams went blow-for-blow with 49ers QB Brock Purdy, posting his first 300-yard passing performance […]


Luther Burden III Posts Season-High 138 Yards, Touchdown in Loss

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver Luther Burden III (quadriceps) was electric in Sunday night's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, hauling in eight of his nine targets for 138 yards and a touchdown. The rookie wideout set season highs in targets, catches, and yards while scoring his first touchdown since Week 3. Burden's promising rookie […]


Christian McCaffrey Racks Up 181 Total Yards, Touchdown in Win Over Bears

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled another 27 touches in Sunday night's 42-38 win over the Chicago Bears, notching 23 carries for 140 yards and a touchdown to go with four catches (six targets) for 41 yards as a receiver. The superstar running back made history, joining LaDainian Tomlinson as the only players […]


Brock Purdy Delivers Second Straight Five-Touchdown Performance

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was masterful again in Sunday night's 42-38 win over the Chicago Bears, completing 24 of 33 passes for 303 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception while adding six carries for 28 yards and two more scores on the ground. Purdy threw a pick-six on his first pass attempt of […]

NFL Pick 'Em Pool Picks (Week 17) - Targets, Avoids, Predictions for Pick'em Contests (2025)

Welcome back to our NFL Pick'em Pool Picks for Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season. As we head into the final two weeks of the season, 10 teams have now officially locked up a playoff spot. Three others sit at a 94% chance or better to get in: Texans (99%), Packers (96%), and Steelers […]


Jake Ferguson Looking to Rebound Against Commanders on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson hasn't scored in five straight weeks and is coming off two of his four lowest yardage totals in the past two weeks. Ferguson was remarkably consistent for most of the season leading up to Week 15, catching at least four passes in 11 of the first 13 games and […]


George Pickens a High-End Option Against Washington on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens rebounded last week against the Chargers after a two-game lull entering Week 16. Pickens racked up seven catches for 130 yards and a touchdown on nine targets in Week 16, marking his fifth game with at least 130 receiving yards, tied with Puka Nacua for the most in the […]


CeeDee Lamb Poised for Monster Game in Favorable Matchup on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb posted his lowest yardage total of the season last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, catching six of seven targets for 51 yards. It snapped a three-game streak of 100+ receiving yards and was also the star wideout's first game averaging less than 10 yards per reception since Week […]


Javonte Williams Primed for Big Bounce-Back Game on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (neck) posted his worst fantasy performance of the season last week against the Los Angeles Chargers, handling a season low nine carries for 34 yards while adding two catches (three targets) for nine yards. It marked his fewest total yards in a game since Week 6 against the Carolina […]


Dak Prescott a Must-Start Option Against Commanders on Christmas

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott had another outstanding performance last week against a strong Chargers defense despite the loss, completing 21 of 30 passes for 244 yards (8.1 Y/A) with two touchdowns. Prescott remains one of the best fantasy quarterbacks in a high-volume passing offense with two elite wide receivers in CeeDee Lamb and George […]


Ben Sinnott Seeing his Role Increase Heading into Week 17

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott has recorded one catch in three straight games, totalling 49 yards on four targets. The second-year tight end posted season highs in snaps and routes in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, playing 66.7% of the snaps with a 56% route share. He could continue to see more […]


John Bates Not a Fantasy Option in Week 17

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates was outsnapped 37 to 27 by second-year tight end Ben Sinnott in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Bates has served as Washington's No. 2 TE for most of the season, primarily as a blocker. He posted his highest route share (50%) of the season in Week 15 […]


Treylon Burks Projects as a Deep-League Option for Week 17

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks led the team in targets in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, catching two of five targets for 30 yards. The 2022 first-round pick saw his snaps decrease with the return of Noah Brown in Week 14, but with Brown now on Injured Reserve due to a rib […]


Deebo Samuel Sr. Profiles as WR3 Option on Christmas

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has been held under 50 yards in three straight games and hasn't found the end zone since Week 11. Samuel has exceeded 50 receiving yards only twice over the past nine games. The former San Francisco 49er draws a potential get-right spot on Christmas Day against the Dallas […]


Terry McLaurin has Upside in Favorable Matchup on Christmas

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin has provided a major lift to the passing game since returning in Week 13. McLaurin has compiled 16 catches on 26 targets for 259 receiving yards and two touchdowns, ranking 16th among wide receivers in yards over that span. The 30-year-old wideout has a golden matchup on Christmas Day […]


Jeremy McNichols Not a Great Fantasy Option Against Cowboys

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols has had a solid season as the team's primary third-down back, recording 42 carries for 220 yards and a touchdown to go with 21 catches (27 targets) for 176 yards in 15 games. The veteran handled a season-high 10 touches in Week 15 with Chris Rodriguez Jr. inactive, but […]


Jacory Croskey-Merritt a Risky Option Against Cowboys

Washington Commanders rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has scored in back-to-back weeks for the first time this season. Croskey-Merritt, aka Bill, played only 11 snaps in last week's loss to the Eagles, but handled eight carries for 25 yards and a score. The rookie seventh-rounder was still firmly behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. in snaps and […]


Chris Rodriguez Jr. Projects as Low-End Flex Option in Week 17

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. has been productive since taking on a bigger workload in Week 9. The third-year back has totalled 69 carries for 316 yards and four touchdowns while adding two catches (three targets) for 12 yards as a receiver. Rodriguez has been the head of a three-man committee in Washington's […]


Malik Willis Listed as Limited on Tuesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Willis was "pretty sore" after injuring his shoulder while filling in for an injured Jordan Love (concussion) during Saturday night's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 2022 third-rounder finished the game, […]


Jordan Love Limited in Tuesday's Practice

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder, concussion) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Love exited early during Green Bay's loss to the Bears last Saturday after suffering a concussion and is still in the league's concussion protocol. The star quarterback's status […]


Josh Jacobs Listed as Limited on Tuesday

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee, ankle) was listed as limited on Tuesday's estimated injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports. Jacobs suited up for last Saturday's matchup against the Chicago Bears but had his playing time managed, splitting touches and snaps with Emanuel Wilson. […]


Pat Bryant Misses Practice on Tuesday

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion) was a non-participant in practice on Tuesday. For the second straight day, Bryant was absent from practice and is trending in the wrong direction to play on Christmas night on Thursday against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie third-rounder was released from the hospital on Monday […]


Josh Johnson Shouldn't be Considered an Option Against Cowboys

Washington Commanders quarterback Josh Johnson could be in line to make his first start since Week 16 of the 2021 season if Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) can't play on Thursday against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. Johnson filled in for Mariota after exiting last week's game against the Eagles, completing five of nine passes for 43 […]


Marcus Mariota has QB1 Upside Against Cowboys if He Plays

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) was absent from Tuesday's practice and is trending in the wrong direction to play on Christmas Day against the Dallas Cowboys. He's now missed two straight practices after being forced to exit early during Washington's Week 16 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. If he's able to play, the […]


Is Aaron Rodgers a Streaming Option Against the Browns?

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has put together three solid games in a row and helped secure another winning season for head coach Mike Tomlin in Week 16's win over the Detroit Lions. Rodgers completed 71.6% of his passes for 774 yards, four touchdowns, and no turnovers while also adding four carries for nine yards […]


Can C.J. Stroud be Trusted as a Streamer Against the Chargers?

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud is coming off one of his worst starts of the season in Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He completed 23 of 36 passes for 187 yards and a touchdown, with his 5.3 yards-per-attempt mark being his second-lowest output of the season and lowest since the Week 7 loss […]


Marcus Mariota Could be a Streaming Option if Healthy

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota (hand, quadriceps) is dealing with multiple injuries and is considered day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys. He left early during the Week 16 loss to the Eagles and didn't return. Mariota has been a quality backup for the Commanders this season, completing 61.2% of his passes […]


Tyler Shough Emerging as Weekly Option

New Orleans Saints rookie quarterback Tyler Shough has had a terrific rookie season so far, completing 66.4% of his passes for 1,792 yards with seven touchdowns and five interceptions while adding 38 carries for 146 yards and two touchdowns on the ground in nine games (seven starts). Shough is coming off his first 300-yard passing […]
