Patriots Defense Not A Top Option For Week 17

The New England Patriots' defense lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. This unit was impressive with five sacks and one defensive touchdown last Sunday, but it still ranks 23rd in terms of fantasy points this season. Their upside will be capped against a strong Josh Allen-led offense that has held […]

Chad Ryland Off Fantasy Radar Despite Last Week's Big Kick

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland cannot be trusted in fantasy football leagues ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Although the rookie did make two field goals last Sunday, including a historic 56-yard game-winner, he also missed two kicks in the contest.

Demario Douglas Has Fantasy Appeal For Week 17

Bailey Zappe Remains Tough To Trust In Week 17

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe is not a very reliable option for fantasy football ahead of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.

He impressed with 256 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during last […]

Elijah Mitchell To Return In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) practiced in full all week long and has been removed from the final injury report.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (concussion) missed practice this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old will miss his third game of the season, including his second in a row. Ronnie Bell and Chris Conley should see increased opportunities in the passing attack, though […]

Kenneth Walker III Questionable For Week 17 Versus Steelers

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder, illness) is officially questionable to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but the team is leaving the door open for him to play with this designation. The 23-year-old was somewhat underwhelming last week with 3.38 yards per carry […]

Kyler Murray Questionable To Face Eagles

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (illness) practiced in a limited capacity on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.

Courtland Sutton Ruled Out For Week 17

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) remains in concussion protocol after missing all three practices this week. He has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Josh Jacobs Doubtful To Play In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) did not practice this week and is officially doubtful to play against the Indianapolis Colts. At this rate, it appears that he will miss his third consecutive game. Fantasy managers can expect Zamir White to operate as the Raiders' top running back with Jacobs sidelined. The 24-year-old […]

Zay Jones Questionable To Face Panthers Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) was limited in practice all week long and is officially questionable to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.

Trevor Lawrence Ruled Out, C.J. Beathard To Start Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (right shoulder) did not practice this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers.
