Marquise Brown Headed For Big Role In Week 18

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown will continue to occupy a large role in Week 18 after De'Andre Hopkins (knee) was ruled out.

Along the way, Elandon Roberts, Christian Wilkins, and Zach Sieler each […]

Trent Sherfield Commands Six Targets Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Trent Sherfield turned six targets into two catches for 30 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 17. Sherfield has emerged as Miami's clear No. 3 receiver but hasn't seen quite enough volume to justify rostering him in most fantasy leagues. He has surpassed double-digit fantasy points just twice in […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Leads Rushing Attack In Week 17

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. saw the majority of the team's rushes in Week 17, carrying the ball 15 times for 45 yards.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. He exited in the second quarter after catching one pass for 13 yards. Arizona is already shorthanded without DeAndre Hopkins (knee), so losing Anderson is far from ideal. The Cardinals will proceed with Marquise […]

Christian Watson Active Versus Vikings

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) is active for Week 17 against the Minnesota Vikings. He was listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. Watson entered Sunday as a true game-time decision, and evidently, the Packers believe that he is healthy enough to play. The rookie ranks as a WR3 […]
