Patriots Defense A Top Option For Week 18

The New England Patriots' defense ranks as a top-10 fantasy option ahead of Sunday's game versus the New York Jets. The most obvious factor here is that the Jets are starting third-string quarterback Trevor Siemian with Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) and Zach Wilson (concussion) sidelined. Siemian has six turnovers over his last three games, and the […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Appealing Fantasy Option As Lead Back

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott will continue to operate as the lead running back for Week 18 against the New York Jets with Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) sidelined. Elliott has produced inconsistent results on the ground this year, but his impressive pass-catching role and red-zone usage allow him to sneak into the RB2 tier […]

Demario Douglas Remains Shaky Option For Week 18

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas remains an unreliable option in fantasy football with an unfavorable matchup and subpar weather conditions on tap for Week 18. Douglas, 23, caught just three passes for 31 yards last week against a Buffalo Bills defense that is typically soft against slot receivers. This week, he'll face a […]

Bailey Zappe Can't Be Trusted In Week 18

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe remains off the fantasy radar for Week 18 versus the New York Jets. A variety of factors make Zappe an unappealing option ahead of Sunday's season finale. First of all, the Jets, despite enduring significant dysfunction this season, have a very strong secondary. New York is averaging the third-fewest […]

Zach Pascal Questionable To Face Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) logged another limited practice on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. The 29-year-old has merely filled a depth role this season, catching four of 15 targets for 19 yards. He played 22 percent of offensive snaps last week with Marquise […]

Michael Mayer Sidelined For Regular Season Finale

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old's rookie season comes to an end with three consecutive absences. It was a somewhat underwhelming year for Mayer, who totaled just 27 catches, 304 yards, […]

Josh Jacobs Won't Suit Up In Week 18

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) has been ruled out for Week 18 versus the Denver Broncos. This should not come as a surprise considering Jacobs missed all three practices this week. The 25-year-old had been impressive for most of the season before missing the Raiders' final four games of the year. This […]

Zay Jones Listed As Questionable, Will Play In Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) is officially questionable to play in Week 18 after logging three limited practices in a row. Despite the vague injury designation, head coach Doug Pederson told the media that Jones will play on Sunday. His presence will be key for the Jaguars who haven't secured a playoff […]

Brock Wright Won't Play In Regular Season Finale

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. After playing the first 14 games this season, Wright has now missed three consecutive weeks, leaving some questions about his availability for the playoffs. Standout rookie Sam LaPorta will […]

Jameson Williams Ruled Out For Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (ankle, illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This news comes as no surprise considering Williams missed all three practices this week. His absence should allow Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond to earn more snaps alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. Of the group, St. Brown […]

Will Levis Questionable For Week 18

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (foot) remained limited during Friday's practice. He is officially questionable to play in Week 18, though head coach Mike Vrabel already announced that Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in what could be his final game as a Titan. If active, Levis will be the backup, keeping him off the […]

Below you will find our fantasy football injuries report for running backs in Week 18, as of January 3. The injury statuses for various NFL running backs are up in the air for Week 18, including Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, Najee Harris, and Zack Moss. As the fantasy football playoffs continue, every decision, transaction, and […]

Brevin Jordan Finds End Zone Versus Titans

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan caught both of his targets for 19 yards and one touchdown during a win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Despite operating behind Dalton Schultz, Jordan was able to contribute offensively with Houston's lone receiving touchdown. On that note, Jordan doesn't see much volume when Schultz is healthy […]

Dalton Schultz Catches Just Two Passes Sunday

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz turned four targets into just two catches for 19 yards during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. It was a disappointing outing from the 27-year-old, who was just one week removed from a big eight-catch, 61-yard outburst versus Cleveland. With that said, the Texans' passing attack didn't have to […]

Devin Singletary Rushes For 80 Yards Sunday

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary rushed for 80 yards on 16 carries during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional six yards through the air. It's safe to say that Singletary has emerged as the Texans' best running back this season and has positioned […]

C.J. Stroud Solid In Return From Concussion

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud returned from his two-game absence against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17, completing 24 of 32 passes for 213 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. He also took one sack and added four rushing yards. While the rookie didn't have a huge game in this outing, he played turnover-free football […]

Nico Collins Heavily Involved In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins caught seven of eight targets for 80 yards during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans. He also added a seven-yard rush. Collins has impressed in his two games since returning from a calf injury, and he also benefitted from C.J. Stroud returning to the fold this week after he […]

Robert Woods Productive Prior To Injury In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) was productive during Sunday's win over the Tennessee Titans, catching all four of his targets for 58 yards. He exited with a hip injury late in the game and was deemed questionable to return but did not register a target in the fourth quarter. Depending on the status […]

Kevin Harris Breaks Off Big Reception Against Bills

New England Patriots running back Kevin Harris rushed for 15 yards on two carries during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught both of his targets for an additional 54 yards through the air. Most of his production came from a short pass that Harris ultimately took 48 yards down the field, putting […]

Demario Douglas Quiet In Week 17 Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught three of five targets for 31 yards during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The Patriots' passing attack had a very poor performance this week and, as a result, Douglas suffered. This has become a similar theme throughout the second half of the season. The rookie receiver […]

Ezekiel Elliott Salvages Week 17 Outing With Touchdown

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 14 times for 39 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also caught one of two targets for a gain of six yards through the air. The veteran running back has filled in admirably for Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), though he did take […]

Mike Gesicki Targeted Six Times Sunday

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki turned six targets into four catches for 35 yards during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The veteran pass-catcher earned increased opportunities with Hunter Henry (knee) sidelined for the consecutive week. During his brief stint as the Patriots' top tight end, Gesicki has compiled six catches, 50 yards, […]

Bailey Zappe Picked Off Three Times In Ugly Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe completed 16 of 26 passes for 209 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. He also took three sacks but did manage to rush for 37 yards and a score. Just one week removed from a big outing versus the Denver Broncos, Zappe […]

Biggest Fantasy Football Busts of the Week - Fantasy Outlooks for James Cook, Jahmyr Gibbs, Stefon Diggs, Travis Kelce

The 17th Sunday of the 2023 NFL season has come and gone. Hopefully, you woke up on Monday morning feeling very good about how your matchup went. However, this week's slate of games was certainly stress-inducing for many fantasy football managers. Part of that stress was caused by a group of players who drastically underachieved […]

Tee Higgins Questionable To Return Versus Chiefs

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) exited during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs and is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had caught one pass for 19 yards. The former second-round pick is fresh off a big game as the Bengals' No. 1 […]

Bradley Chubb Injures Knee, Carted To Locker Room

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) was carted to the locker room with a serious injury near the end of Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. A defensive staple, Chubb had logged six tackles at the time of his departure. Injuries are always unfortunate, but seeing one occur during garbage time is especially difficult. Miami […]

Christian McCaffrey Might Have Calf Strain

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media that running back Christian McCaffrey (calf) might have suffered a calf strain during Sunday's win over the Washington Commanders. The team doesn't believe the injury is too serious. With that said, the 49ers secured the NFC's No. 1 seed in Week 17, so it would […]

Tua Tagovailoa Injures Shoulder Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (shoulder) departed during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens and is officially questionable to return. Given that the Dolphins are trailing by five touchdowns, it's safe to assume that the talented signal-caller won't return, leaving Mike White in line to finish the game under center. Tagovailoa […]

Alvin Kamara Won't Return In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had initially been listed as questionable after exiting during the second half. At the time of his departure, the star running back had amassed 45 rushing and four receiving yards. […]
