Calvin Austin III A Low-End WR3 Versus The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III secured four of five targets for 31 yards during Week 17's 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. During Week 15 and 16, with counterpart George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined, Austin took over as the leading receiver in those games with 65 yards in each contest. Pickens returned in […]


George Pickens Looking To Bounce Back Against Cincinnati In Season Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught three of seven targets for 50 yards in the Christmas game 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Week 17 was Pickens' first game back from a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined from Weeks 14-16. Pickens and the struggling Steelers offense will look to bounce back with […]


Najee Harris A Solid RB2 Option Against The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has seen his fantasy production dip over the last three weeks. The main reason is that the Steelers have lost all three games by 14 or more points, meaning game flow has not been in Harris's favor. In addition to that, they faced three top-10 defenses against the run. […]


Russell Wilson A Low-End QB1 In Week 18 Versus The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson saved his Week 17 fantasy stat line on the ground as he rushed for a season-high 55 yards and a touchdown in the Christmas game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Wilson struggled through the air, only throwing for 205 yards on 37 pass attempts while also throwing an interception […]


Jaylen Warren Off The Injury Report, A Mid-Range RB2 Against The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ribs) is no longer on the injury report and will suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals for the regular season finale. He logged full practices on Wednesday and Thursday, showing encouraging signs of his availability on Saturday as the Steelers host the Bengals in Week 18. The Steelers are […]


Jaylen Watson Designated To Return From IR, Will Practice On Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs are designating defensive back Jaylen Watson (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve, and he will practice on Friday. Watson suffered his injury in Week 7's win over the San Francisco 49ers, leading him to land on the IR. During Weeks 8-14 with Watson out, the Chiefs have ranked 27th in EPA […]


Austin Ekeler - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL News

Is Austin Ekeler Out For the Season? Week 18 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) suffered an injury when returning a kickoff in the final seconds of a 34-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12. This injury has sidelined Ekeler since and landed him on the IR (Injured-reserve), meaning he has had to miss the last four games.  Concussions are always […]


Ja'Tavion Sanders Sees One Target In Week 17

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders earned one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In this one, Sanders took a clear backseat to the Panthers' receivers, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette. In addition, the Buccaneers dictated game flow in this […]


Ray Davis Earns Seven Touches In Week 17 Win

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis earned six carries and turned that into just nine yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the New York Jets. He added one reception for four yards as well. As expected, Davis took a clear back seat over James Cook; however, Ty Johnson was also involved and was more effective […]


Raheem Mostert Quiet Again In Week 17

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert earned eight opportunities on the ground and through the air, turning that into 19 all-purpose yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns. He had six carries for three yards while catching both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's victory. This type of production has been […]


Malik Washington Puts Up 41 Receiving Yards In Week 17 Victory

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington hauled in four receptions for 41 yards on five targets in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns. He also lost 11 yards in his only rushing attempt. With fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) out in Week 17, Washington moved up in the pecking order and made the most […]


Jamison Crowder Puts Up 25 Yards In Week 17

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder hauled in three of his five targets over 25 yards in Sunday night's 30-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Crowder has missed most of the season due to a calf injury. The veteran wideout returned from injured reserve in Week 15 and has slowly played more snaps and seen […]

Chuba Hubbard Questionable For Sunday's Game Against Tampa Bay

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Hubbard has managed limited practices on Thursday and Friday, which is an encouraging sign of his availability for Week 17. Hubbard has had a stellar 2024 campaign, ranking as the RB11 on the season. He has 1,195 rushing […]


Sterling Shepard Ruled Out In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot, hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Shepard exited last week's contest due to a hamstring injury. In addition, he has been dealing with a lingering foot issue. The Buccaneers need to win to keep their playoff hopes alive, so look for […]


Cade Otton Ruled Out For Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Otton will miss his second game in a row due to a left knee injury he suffered in Week 15. In his absence, the Buccaneers will call on Payne Durham to step up in Week 17. […]


Bengals Optimistic Tee Higgins Will Play Against Denver

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Denver Broncos. His limited participation in practice the last few days is an encouraging sign that he is trending toward playing. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, there's "optimism" he can play on Saturday. Although Higgins has had an up-and-down […]


James Conner "Trending In The Right Direction" To Play In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is dealing with a knee injury he suffered in Week 16 and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Jaylen Waddle Questionable For Week 17, Dolphins Optimistic About His Status

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel indicated that wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) will be questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns, but the head coach also said he's optimistic Waddle will be available. Waddle logged a limited practice on Thursday, an encouraging sign for his chances to suit up on Sunday. The Dolphins […]


Amon-Ra St. Brown In Line For A Big Week Against San Francisco

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown hauled in six passes for 70 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 16 victory at the Chicago Bears. Not much was asked of the Lions' offense in the fourth quarter, as they had a two-score lead for most of the second half. Throughout the season, St. […]


Jahmyr Gibbs A Must-Start Against The 49ers In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has had a fantastic season in 2024 and will look to keep things rolling against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17. He ranks as the overall RB3 for the year, and that's also come with splitting most of his touches with David Montgomery (knee), who recently got injured […]


Jared Goff A Top-10 Play In Week 17 Versus The 49ers

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has put together a fine season in 2024. Throwing for 4,095 yards, 33 passing touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. This week, the Lions travel to take on the San Francisco 49ers in a rematch of the NFC championship game from last year's playoffs. Certainly, Goff and the Lions will want some […]


Curtis Samuel Questionable For Week 17's Matchup Versus The Jets

Buffalo Bills Wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) was inactive last week against the New England Patriots. Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott said he has not ruled any players out for this Sunday's contest against the New York Jets.
