Mike Soroka 2020 Outlook: Strikeouts Short of Excellence

Mike Soroka had been one of the Braves' top pitching prospects and burst onto the scene for Atlanta in 2019. The 22-year-old righty won 13 games with a 2.68 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and finished second in NL Rookie of the Year voting. As a prospect, Soroka was known for excellent control and extreme ground-ball tendencies... Read More

Rex Burkhead A Risky Option Saturday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead should be involved vs the Titans Saturday, but will be a risky play with Sony Michel and James White also expected to see touches. Burkhead has taken a backseat to Michel over the last three weeks getting out-touched 60-24 in those games despite averaging almost a full yard... Read More

James White Should Be Involved Saturday

New England Patriots running back James White isn't the lead back for his team, but he has been the most consistent producer for fantasy owners and should be involved plenty in Saturday's wild-card matchup with Tennessee. White only had double-digit carries once this season but has made at least three catches in 13 of 15... Read More

Sony Michel Should See Enough Work To Start

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel had a disappointing sophomore season for fantasy owners but will look to redeem himself in the playoffs starting on wild-card weekend against Tennessee. Michel only rushed for 912 yards this year on just 3.7 yards per carry but is trending upwards as the playoffs get underway. Michel out-touched... Read More

Sam Ficken Struggles In Buffalo

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made two field goals on four attempts and converted his lone extra point Sunday in Buffalo.

Read More

Daniel Brown Makes Three Catches

New York Jets tight end Daniel Brown caught three of four targets for 32 yards in a win over the Bills Sunday.

Read More

Bilal Powell Gets Involved In Week 17

New York Jets running back Bilal Powell rushed seven times for 27 yards in a win vs the Bills Sunday.

Powell, the longest-tenured Jet, will likely... Read More

Jamison Crowder Has Big Week 17

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder caught eight of 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a win vs Buffalo Sunday.

Read More

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell handled 16 carries for just 41 yards in a win over the Bills Sunday.

Bell's 2.6 yards... Read More

Sam Darnold Unimpressive In Finale

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 23 of 36 passes for 199 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a win over the Bills Sunday.

Jets Defense In Play Versus Resting Bills

The New York Jets Defense has been good at times for fantasy this season and could be in a good spot again this Sunday in Buffalo. Bills coach Sean McDermott has already announced QB Josh Allen will start, but be replaced by backup Matt Barkley at some point in the contest. It is unclear which... Read More

Le'Veon Bell Looks To Finish Strong

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell has had a disappointing first season in New York but will look to finish strong vs the Bills on Sunday. Bell's 3.3 yards per carry is the lowest of his career and his rushing total is all but certain to be the lowest mark of his career, with... Read More

Sam Ficken Not Startable Sunday

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken had a career day last week against Pittsburgh, drilling all three field-goal attempts, including a career-long 54-yarder. Despite the positive game, Ficken has been inconsistent most of the season, making just 74 percent of his field goals. Traditionally, Buffalo is not the easiest place to kick in December, and... Read More

Jamison Crowder Startable In Tough Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder torched the Bills for 99 yards on 14 catches back in Week 1 and will look to do more of the same Sunday in Buffalo. Crowder has been up and down for fantasy, but has at least seven targets in four straight games and should be the go-to... Read More

Robby Anderson Startable Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson will look to make his case to possible suitors in free agency one last time with a tough Week 17 matchup in Buffalo. Tre'Davious White and the Bills held Anderson to just three catches on seven targets back in Week 1, but Anderson has been a much bigger... Read More

Sam Darnold Has Tough Test In Week 17

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold has made strides in his sophomore season in limiting turnovers, but he is still lacking the big-play ability to make him a startable QB in fantasy. Darnold has thrown for more than 300 yards just once since Week 6 and has more than two passing touchdowns in a game... Read More

Ravens Defense Quiet Against Browns

The Baltimore Ravens Defense had a quiet day Sunday in a win vs the Browns. Baltimore allowed 15 points to Cleveland but only forced one turnover and didn't record a sack on the afternoon.

Justin Tucker Perfect Again Sunday

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made a 31-yard field goal and went 4-for-4 on extra-point attempts as the Ravens locked up home-field advantage with a win over the Browns.

Marquise Brown Invisible Versus Browns

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown caught one of two targets for six scoreless yards in a win vs Cleveland Sunday.

Jets Defense Stymies Steelers

The New York Jets Defense played a strong game Sunday, holding the Steelers to 10 points in a game Pittsburgh had to have to keep control of their playoff lives.

New York Jets tight end Trevon Wesco caught his only target for 32 yards Sunday afternoon vs Pittsburgh.
