Yannick Ngakoue Placed On Injured Reserve

The Indianapolis Colts placed defensive end Yannick Ngakoue (throat) on Injured Reserve on Saturday, ending his 2022 season with just two games to go. Ngakoue suffered a throat injury in Week 16 and will require surgery. The 27-year-old has been Indy's best pass-rusher this year, so it will be a big loss for their final […]

Marquise Brown A Risky Option In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown looks like a risky option in Week 17, as the unknown chemistry he will have with quarterback David Blough makes his outlook underwhelming in the fantasy championship. The matchup with the Falcons is a plus as they have allowed the sixth-most passing yards this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't […]

Ravens Defense Still A Top Option In Week 17

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams remains one of the two consistent fantasy options on the team. They're currently the fifth-best defensive unit in fantasy football and they have a matchup with rookie Kenny Pickett coming up in Week 17. While they may not have forced Desmond Ridder into a bunch of turnovers last week, they […]

James Conner An RB1 Option In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner will look to continue his great stretch of play since his return from injury, as he draws a great matchup against the weak Falcons defense. They have allowed the eighth-most rushing yards (1,684) and the seventh-most rushing touchdowns (15) this season. Conner carried the ball 15 times for 79 […]

Noah Fant Good To Go In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets, meaning he will play. He didn't practice on Wednesday but did take part in Thursday's session, albeit in a limited capacity, so he appeared to be trending in this direction all along. The […]

Mark Andrews Trending Down Toward Risky Territory

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has become a risky play ever since Lamar Jackson went down with his knee injury. The last time that he hit double-digit fantasy points and found the endzone was in Week 6. He's only averaged 6.5 fantasy points per game over the last six weeks. While the Steelers' defense […]

Greg Joseph A Starting Option In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph is a solid starting option in Week 17 as the Vikings travel to take on the Packers. Joseph is coming off a 61-yard game-winning field goal in Week 16, as he will look to stay hot in a huge divisional matchup with playoff implications. The 28-year-old should get his fair […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Fantasy Tight End Play In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has essentially been a positional cheat code this season, catching 97 passes for 1,257 yards and 12 touchdowns, which has already set a new career-high for one of the best tight ends in NFL history. On Sunday, he faces the Broncos. In the last meeting of these teams, […]

Mike Evans A Risky Flex Option Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been one of the most disappointing fantasy players in 2022. Coming off another subpar performance in Sunday's 19-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals, it's becoming almost impossible to trust him as fantasy managers head into championship week. Evans caught three of eight targets for a measly 29 […]

Vikings Defense A Risky Start Versus Packers

The Minnesota Vikings defense is a risky option versus the Packers in Week 17 despite the struggles of Aaron Rodgers and company this season. Given the fact that the Vikings have allowed the most passing yards (3,733) this year, they look to be a risky option no matter who they are playing. They just allowed […]

T.J. Hockenson An Elite TE1 Option In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will look to keep rolling in Week 17 against the Packers, as he is fresh off a 13-reception, two-score effort against the Giants. Hockenson has 33 targets in his last three games, making him one of the most valuable options at the tight end position other than Travis Kelce. […]

Justin Tucker Remains A Must-Play In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker is still top three at his position this season and his next matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers is a favorable one for kickers. The Steelers are 24th against opposing kickers and the Ravens will be starting Tyler Huntley under center again. That means there will be plenty of stalled drives […]

Adam Thielen A Risky Flex Option Versus Packers

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is a potential flex option in Week 17 against the Packers, but he comes with some risk, as T.J. Hockenson looks to have cemented his role as the second option in the passing game. Thielen is coming off a one-catch performance in Week 16, as he saw just five […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Boom/Bust Play In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster is a risky fantasy option on Sunday against the Broncos, largely because of the huge variability in his outcomes. He caught just three passes for 27 yards last week against the Seahawks, but the week before had 10 receptions against the Texans. In the first meeting with the […]

Cade Otton Will Suit Up Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (quadriceps) was removed from the injury report, meaning he'll play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. There wasn't much doubt, especially since he was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday. The 23-year-old hasn't been the most productive fantasy performer this season, compiling 39 receptions for […]

Justin Jefferson Looks To Continue Hot Streak In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will look to continue his hot stretch of play in Week 17 against the Packers, who he dominated for 184 yards and two touchdowns in Week 1. The third-year stud is chasing history in the last two weeks of the season, as the single-season receiving yards record held by […]

Jerick McKinnon Looks To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon has caught a touchdown in four consecutive games, with the veteran back becoming a go-to option in the passing game for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He'll look to make it five in a row on Sunday against a Broncos team that he caught a pair of scores against just […]

Tommy Tremble Questionable For Pivotal NFC South Matchup

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (hip) is questionable for Sunday's critical meeting with the Buccaneers. The 22-year-old was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. However, considering he was available for a full practice on Friday is a positive sign that he should be good to go. Tremble hasn't done much this season, so […]

Isiah Pacheco Is Touchdown-Dependent In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Isiah Pacheco has seen double-digit carries in seven consecutive games but has also failed to find the end zone in the past three, and with his lack of usage in the passing game, he looks like a player with a relatively solid fantasy floor that needs to find the […]

Dalvin Cook Draws Great Matchup In Week 17

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook draws a great matchup in the fantasy championship against the Packers, who have allowed the third-most rushing yards this season. Cook is coming off a disappointing game in Week 16, as he posted just 77 scrimmage yards and failed to find the end zone. Regardless of some of his […]

Patrick Mahomes A Top Fantasy Option In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes should be considered a high-end QB1 option on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. When these teams met earlier this month, Mahomes threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns, though he was also picked off three times. The Broncos have actually done a decent job on defense this year, allowing […]

Texans Defense Not On Fantasy Radar For Week 17

The Houston Texans defense should be mostly off of the fantasy radar heading into Sunday's Week 17 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While Houston had one of its best defensive efforts of the season in the first meeting of these teams, holding the Jags to just six points and picking off a pair of passes, […]

Kirk Cousins A QB1 Option Versus Packers

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to keep his strong stretch of play going as the Vikings travel to Lambeau Field to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Cousins has 1,184 passing yards in his last three games, making him a borderline must-start option given how many injuries we have seen to quarterbacks […]

Royce Freeman A Risky Play In Week 17

Houston Texans running back Royce Freeman saw plenty of touches last week against the Titans, with 16 carries for the veteran back. But Freeman, who has taken over as the team's lead back over the past two games, only managed to produce 32 rushing yards on those attempts. There's not likely to be much running […]

Brandin Cooks Has Deep-League Appeal In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks hasn't had the kind of season that fantasy managers expected when they drafted him in the middle rounds this year, but the veteran wideout is back on the fantasy radar now. Last week, he caught his first touchdown since Week 4, and his nine targets were his most since […]

Davis Mills A Risky Play In Week 17

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills is a risky fantasy play against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. The second-year QB has failed to throw for 200 yards in four consecutive starts, and in two of those games, he didn't throw a touchdown either. He was held to 140 yards earlier this season in Houston's 13-6 […]

Broncos Defense Well Off The Fantasy Map Against Chiefs

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit definitely cannot be trusted in a Week 17 matchup with the high-scoring Kansas City Chiefs offense, especially after allowing 51 points and 388 total yards to quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. On the season, Denver's D has been one of the stingier units […]

Eric Saubert Set For Bigger Role Entering Week 17

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert should start and be the team's primary pass-catching tight end for the final two games of the season after the Broncos placed rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Behind Dulcich, Saubert has been the Broncos' second-leading tight end this year in catches (12), targets (21) and […]

Chargers Defense A Streaming Option In Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams posted its best fantasy performance of the season last week, recording seven sacks and three interceptions in a 20-3 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Another enticing matchup awaits the Chargers in Week 17 as they will face the Los Angeles Rams, who have averaged just 18.7 points per game […]

Cameron Dicker A Reliable Option In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker has missed just one field goal attempt on the season and will remain a dependable option for a Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Dicker's fantasy output has not been prolific as of late with the Chargers' offense averaging just 20 points per game over the past […]
