Alvin Kamara at Risk of Losing Workhorse Role

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had his 2025 season cut short due to a knee sprain suffered during Week 12. Before his injury, Kamara was already performing below fantasy managers' expectations with just one touchdown and a career-low 3.6 yards per carry. Most notably, Kamara's targets per game dropped to an average of […]


Is Tyrone Tracy Jr. Losing Value in a Crowded Backfield?

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. may be on the outside looking in during the 2026 season. The team expects fellow running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) to make a full recovery by Week 1, and may target other backs in free agency or the NFL draft. Tracy was unable to replicate his electric […]


Dallas Plans to Restructure Dak Prescott's Contract

The Dallas Cowboys will restructure quarterback Dak Prescott's contract heading into the 2026 season, according to sources of ESPN's Adam Schefter. Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones intends to be "aggressive in free agency" this offseason. Dallas has already made other moves on the offense by placing a non-exclusive franchise tag on wide receiver […]


CeeDee Lamb's Contract Up for Restructuring

Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Dallas Cowboys will restructure wide receiver CeeDee Lamb's contract. This news comes on the heels of the team's decision on Friday to place the non-exclusive franchise tag on fellow wide receiver George Pickens, who is expected to seek a long-term deal with Dallas. Lamb missed three games in […]


Buccaneers Interested in Re-Signing Mike Evans

At the NFL Combine on Thursday, sources told Jenna Laine of ESPN that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will "aggressively pursue" attempts to re-sign wide receiver Mike Evans ahead of the 2026 season. The 32-year-old pass catcher played in a career-low eight games in 2025 due to collarbone and hamstring injuries, and was unable to extend […]


Justice Hill Looking to Bounce Back in 2026

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had his 2025 season cut short due to a neck injury that sent him to the Injured Reserve after Week 12. Before his injury, Hill was averaging a 37% snap share, but was on the field for 75% of third-down plays, and was the Ravens' change-of-pace back. The 28-year-old […]


Darnell Washington Off Many Fantasy Radars for 2026

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington (forearm) ended the 2025 season with surgery on his broken forearm, but he is looking to bounce back in the final year of his contract in 2026. Despite some highlight reel stiff arms and one TE8 finish in Week 11, Washington mainly played behind fellow tight ends Pat Freiermuth […]


Is Andy Dalton Available for a Trade?

Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the Carolina Panthers have been receiving calls about quarterback Andy Dalton for a potential trade. The veteran play-caller is heading into his 16th year in the league and was a serviceable backup during fellow quarterback Bryce Young's development since 2023. Before his stint in Carolina, Dalton was a streaming […]


Jaylin Lane Has Value in Deep Leagues Going into his Sophomore Season

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jaylin Lane ended his rookie season on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury, but flashed promise at times during the 2025 season. The young receiver out of Virginia Tech played behind veteran wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel Sr. for the majority of his debut season, tallying just 225 […]


Luke Musgrave's Fantasy Relevance is Waning Going into 2026

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is heading into the fourth year of his rookie contract and failed to take advantage of starting opportunities in 2025 after fellow tight end Tucker Kraft (knee) went down for the season in Week 9. From Week 10 on, Musgrave saw just a 47% snap share and averaged […]


Jake Ferguson is Quietly a Late-Round Tight End Option

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson disappointed quite a few fantasy managers at the tail end of the 2025 season despite his career-high 82 receptions on 102 targets for 600 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns across all 17 games. However, looking ahead to 2026, Ferguson remains a low-end TE1 option on a functional offense […]


Is Chase Brown Emerging as a High-End Dynasty Asset?

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown still has one year left on his rookie contract and is hopeful to sign an extension that his representation has been working on since at least late January. Brown stands unchallenged atop the Bengals' running back depth chart, playing in all 17 games in the 2025 season with an […]


Rico Dowdle's Upside Hindered by Timeshare in Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) does not have an injury designation heading into the team's Week 18 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dowdle appears to be in a 60-40 timeshare with fellow running back Chuba Hubbard, with the latter seeing the vast majority of third downs over the past three games. The […]


TreVeyon Henderson Looking to Bounce Back in Week 18

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) was unable to find the end zone in Week 17, which led to a disappointing fantasy day. Still, the young rookie should continue to see steady volume against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Henderson was able to clear the league's concussion protocol and suit up […]


Michael Wilson Primed for Top-Tier Finish in Week 18

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson should reassume his WR1 production against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, with fellow wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) placed on IR after Week 17. In the four games without Harrison Jr. in the latter half of the 2025 season, Wilson hauled in 41 of his 60 […]


Tyler Lockett Reaches End Zone in Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett tallied two receptions and nine yards off his three targets during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. The veteran wide receiver's fantasy day was saved by his reception in the back of the end zone on a quarterback Geno Smith (ankle) scramble late […]


Tre Tucker Quiet Again in Week 17 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker was primed to emerge as the Raiders' lead pass catcher in Week 17, but was held to five receptions for 49 yards off his six targets in a 34-10 loss to the New York Giants. Tight end Brock Bowers (knee) was placed on IR following Week 16, and […]


Michael Mayer Takes Advantage of New Opportunity in Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer hauled in nine of his 10 targets for 89 yards during Sunday's Week 17 loss against the New York Giants. The tight end was thrust into the spotlight after fellow tight end Brock Bowers (knee) was placed on Injured Reserve after Week 16. Mayer was quarterback Geno Smith's […]


Ashton Jeanty Contained in Week 17 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty was held to single-digit fantasy points in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the New York Giants in Week 17. Jeanty has been held to 10 or fewer fantasy points in three of his last four games, disappointing fantasy managers in the playoffs. Despite the great matchup, he had […]


Cleveland Browns Defense Serviceable in Low-Scoring Week 17 Win

The Cleveland Browns DST did not generate any turnovers, but managed to sack quarterback Aaron Rodgers twice and keep the Pittsburgh Steelers out of the end zone in a 13-6 win in Week 17. Even though the Browns gave up almost 300 yards to the Steelers, the defensive squad kept the Rodgers-led offense from converting […]


Dylan Sampson Ekes out Lead Running Back Role in Week 17 Win

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson (hand) was largely inefficient against in the Browns' 13-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, gaining just 27 yards from his 11 rushing attempts. The young ball carrier also had three receptions from three targets, but was unable to gain any air yards. Sampson did have three more rushing […]


Shedeur Sanders Improves Efficiency, Continues Development in Week 17 Victory

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 17 of his 23 pass attempts for 186 yards and one touchdown, but threw two interceptions in Sunday's 13-6 victory over AFC North rivals the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sanders completed 73.9% of his passes in Week 17, which is his best completion percentage of the season and his second […]


Jerry Jeudy Leads Browns Receiving Corps in Week 17 Win

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught five of his seven targets for 54 yards in a gritty 13-6 victory in Week 17 over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeudy stepped up after rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. (groin) left mid-way through the first quarter after reaggravating his groin injury. The veteran receiver has his most […]


Cedric Tillman on the Outside Looking In vs. the Steelers

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman looks to be fighting for the team's WR2 position going into an AFC North battle against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. The third-year wide out appears to be in a timeshare with rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond, with Tillman playing 48% of the snaps, barely edging out Bond, […]


Raheem Mostert Questionable Ahead of Week 17, Reliant on Big Plays

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) was able to log a limited practice on Friday after missing two previous sessions ahead of the team's Week 17 matchup at home against the New York Giants. The veteran running back has been playing behind rookie Ashton Jeanty all season and has yet to score […]


Isaiah Bond is a Deep League Boom or Bust Option for Week 17

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Isaiah Bond has taken over as the team's WR2, even though the Week 16 box score against the Buffalo Bills did not show it, and is likely to continue his ascension in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Browns' passing attack struggled to get anything going against the Buffalo […]


Jerry Jeudy Likely to Have Another Muted Performance in Week 17

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has had a quiet season and is unlikely to make an impact in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last week against the Buffalo Bills, Jeudy played just 72% of the offensive snaps, his lowest snap share since Week 12, yet still posted a 94% route participation rate. The […]


Tyler Lockett Off Injury Report, Could See Additional Looks in Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (wrist) was a full participant in every practice this week and does not carry an injury designation heading into his Week 17 matchup against the New York Giants. After seeing a season-high 76% snap share in Week 15, the veteran pass catcher only played 26% of snaps and […]


Jack Bech Dealing with a New Injury, Unreliable Start in Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech (back) popped up on Friday's injury report with a back issue, logging a limited practice, heading into the team's Week 17 matchup at home against the New York Giants. The rookie saw a dip in his playtime and route participation in Week 16 against the stout Houston […]


Shedeur Sanders Remains a Fringe Superflex Starter in Week 17

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders was resilient in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills and has an easier Week 17 matchup hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie, who was dealing with a minor injury to his throwing hand, completed 20 of his 29 pass attempts for 157 yards and one touchdown, his highest completion […]
