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. He is now 21-for-22 on extra points and a woeful 15-for-23 […]

Demario Douglas Has Fantasy Appeal For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas is an appealing fantasy option ahead of Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. The rookie is coming off a solid Christmas Eve outing in which he turned eight targets into five receptions for 74 yards. He has emerged as one of Bailey Zappe's favorite and most reliable options […]

DeVante Parker Remains In Line For Large Role

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker remains a key part of the passing attack ahead of Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills. Parker has played more than 90 percent of offensive snaps in each of his last two games, totaling nine catches and 109 yards during that span. He has carved out a key […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Appealing Option For Week 17

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott (illness) logged a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report. He will play versus the Buffalo Bills, ranking as a solid RB2 option in most fantasy leagues. The 28-year-old has looked great operating as the Patriots' top running back with Rhamondre Stevenson […]

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. On one hand, the 24-year-old has been solid over his last three starts, amassing six touchdowns and just two interceptions. 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.

Jauan Jennings Ruled Out For Week 17

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 […]

Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel Will Play In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) have been removed from the final injury report and will play against the Washington Commanders in Week 17.

DK Metcalf Questionable To Play In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back) is officially questionable to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The injury popped up during practice this week, creating real uncertainty about his status for this weekend's contest.

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. He had been unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so this latest development should be viewed as a step in the right direction. Nevertheless, Murray's availability for Sunday […]

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. Denver's offense will find itself shorthanded this weekend with Sutton sidelined and quarterback Russell Wilson benched. Although Jerry Jeudy and Marvin Mims Jr. […]

Michael Mayer Won't Play In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) did not practice this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Indianapolis Colts.

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. The 28-year-old has seen increased volume ever since Christian Kirk (core) was placed on injured reserve. Over that three-game span, Jones has 30 targets, 15 catches, and 166 […]

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.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Ruled Out For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. He'll miss fourth game of the season, including his second in a row.

Hunter Henry Questionable For Week 17

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is officially questionable to play against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17. He had been limited in practice all week long after missing his first game of the season last Sunday versus the Denver Broncos. At this point, it appears that Henry will be a game-time decision […]

Mason Rudolph Will Remain Starter In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph will draw his second consecutive start in Week 17 versus the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
