No Practice For Leonard Fournette Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, foot) is not practicing on Wednesday. Fournette had 18 carries and three catches in Week 16, but the Jaguars could elect to shut him down or limit his snaps in Week 17 against the Texans. If he's active, Fournette will be more of a low-end RB2 in a […]

Marcus Mariota Fighting To Play In Week 17

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota is working his way back from a stinger he suffered on Saturday night in Week 16, but his status for the Week 17 must-win game against the Colts likely won't come into further focus until later this week. “Just taking it day to day,” Mariota said during his regular weekly […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (quadriceps) will not practice on Wednesday. Beckham is improving, but Shurmur remains unsure if he'll be healthy to play in the Week 17 finale against the Cowboys in a meaningless game. OBJ has now missed the last three games and doesn't […]

Pete Carroll Lands Contract Extension

The Seattle Seahawks signed head coach Pete Carroll to a contract extension that runs through the 2021 season on Monday. Seattle secured their seventh playoff berth in nine seasons with Carroll at the helm by beating the Chiefs in Week 16. Carroll is the NFL's oldest head coach at 67 years old. The Seahawks have […]

Eagles Activate Mike Wallace

The Philadelphia Eagles activated wide receiver Mike Wallace (leg) from Injured Reserve on Monday. He fractured his fibula against the Buccaneers on Sept. 16 and hasn't played since.

Chargers Won't Rest Players Against Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said he will not be resting players in Week 17 against the Broncos. “We’re going into this game no different than any other game,” Lynn said. “We’re not worrying about resting people. We’re trying to win the game. Herm Edwards said it best – you play to win.” […]

James Conner Questionable For Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that running back James Conner (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Bengals in a must-win game. Conner has missed the last three games, but his status will depend on how much he can do in practice this week. If he sits out again, rookie […]

Phillip Lindsay Lost For Season

The Denver Broncos will be without All-Pro running back Phillip Lindsay (wrist) for their season finale in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lindsay suffered a wrist injury, possibly a scaphoid fracture, during his team's Week 16 loss to the Oakland Raiders. He is set to go for more testing during the week, but […]

Oakland Raiders Defense Have Best Game Of The Season

The Oakland Raiders defense and special teams were able to post their best game of the season in their home finale against the Broncos. Not only did Dwayne Harris return a punt for a 99-yard touchdown, but the Raiders held the Broncos to only 14 points. This marks the first time all season the Raiders […]

Jared Cook Has Modest Day Against The Broncos

Oakland Raiders tight end Jared Cook was unable to make a big impact against the Broncos, as the running game carried most of the offense. Cook finished with only two catches for 20 yards and no touchdowns, which gives him only two catches in each of his last two games. Cook had been one of […]

Jordy Nelson Leads Team in Receiving Against The Broncos

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson was able to come away with a strong stat line against the Broncos. Nelson ended with seven receptions for 75 yards and no touchdowns but led the team in yards and catches. Nelson now has six or more catches in four straight games, making him one of the most […]

Doug Martin Top 100 Yards, Finds The End Zone

Oakland Raiders running back Doug Martin had his best game of the season, which helped propel to the Raiders to the win. He ended with 107 yards on 21 carries with one touchdown, which was a season-high in both carries and yards. This now gives Martin four touchdowns in his last five games, a surprising […]

Derek Carr Quiet With Stats, Raiders Come Away With The Win

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a slow game, but it was enough to beat the Broncos in their home finale this season. Carr ended with only 167 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions, but that was enough to come away with the win. The rushing game was a large part of their success, along […]

LeSean McCoy Could Be On His Way Out Of Buffalo

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy has struggled both on and off the field this season, which may lead to the team dumping him sometime before next season. McCoy, who came off the bench for the first time since 2010 as a result of a spat with coach Sean McDermott in Week 16, has accumulated […]

Atlanta Falcons Defense Has Nice Week 16 Performance

The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams returned a nice Week 16 performance against the Carolina Panthers. In terms of real world numbers it was a super day with two sacks, three interceptions, a forced fumble and just 10 points surrendered. In terms of fantasy points, all it was missing was a score and it would have […]

Matt Bryant Has Average Week 16

Atlanta Falcons kicker Matt Bryant had a distinctly average fantasy return in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Bryant converted all four of his opportunities, but three of the four were extra points, limiting any fantasy value. Bryant did make one field goal from 39 yards but for fantasy owners his performance is unlikely to […]

Austin Hooper Struggles Again In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a tough game for the second week in a row against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. After being held for zero catches in Week 15, Hooper had just two targets in this game. Fortunately, he managed to pull both of them in for 36 yards to reward […]

Julio Jones Salvages Week 16 Performance With A Touchdown

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) rescued what would have been a disastrous fantasy outing with a touchdown in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Coming into the game Jones had been questionable, but was active despite the Falcons season being in the doldrums. Jones was clearly not 100% as he was targeted just […]

Chris Conley is Quiet Once Again

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley has collected a total of seven receptions over the last three weeks. Conley has been filling in for Sammy Watkins (foot), but he's done basically nothing over the last few weeks. Conley caught three of his five targets for 54 yards in the loss to the Seahawks. Fantasy […]

Travis Kelce Grabs Five Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was not the best fantasy option this week and was held in check fairly well by the Seahawks defense. Kelce caught five of his nine targets for 54 yards and he did not have a touchdown. Kelce broke his four game streak of having at least 60 receiving […]

Mohamed Sanu Has A Superb Week 16 Performance

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Mohamed Sanu had a super game in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Sanu led the team in targets, with eight, and pulled in five of them for 81 yards and a touchdown. Sanu also added 29 yards on two rushes to give him 110 total yards on the day. That […]

Tyreek Hill is Disappointing in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has not been much of a fantasy option over the last two weeks. Hill caught four of his nine targets for 74 yards and was held out of the end zone in the 38-31 loss to the Seahawks. Hill did not record a reception until halfway through the […]

Calvin Ridley Breaks A Big One In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley ended his Week 16 matchup with the Carolina Panthers with a nice fantasy return. Ridley only caught three passes on the day, but he took one them 75 yards to the end zone to give him 90 total yards and the score. Ridley returned a welcome 15 points for […]

Brian Hill Has Breakout Performance In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill had a big time breakout performance in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. With Ito Smith on injured reserve, Hill got the opportunity to play second fiddle to the Coleman in this game. Hill took his eight carries for an impressive 115 yards, including a longest run of 60 […]

Damien Williams Continues His Success Versus Seattle

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has seemingly come out of nowhere and put together three straight solid fantasy performances. Williams rushed 13 times for 103 yards and caught seven passes for 37 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Seahawks in Week 16. He'll continue to be a solid fantasy option […]

Tevin Coleman Has Poor Week 16 Return

Atlanta Falcons running back Tevin Coleman put up a poor Week 16 fantasy performance against the Carolina Panthers. The issue was not how Coleman performed but the opportunities he received. Coleman rushed for an average of 5.1 yards per carry, but only received 10 carries and did not add a reception. Therefore, if you started […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws 3 TDs in Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes started off slow on Sunday, but found a way to salvage his fantasy value in Week 16. Mahomes finished 23-for-40 with 273 passing yards and three touchdowns without an interception in the 38-31 loss to Seattle. Mahomes has lost some weapons on offense which has hindered his success over […]

Matt Ryan Has Solid Week 16

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had a solid if unspectacular Week 16 performance against the Carolina Panthers. Ryan threw for 239 yards on just 15 completions but still managed to have three touchdowns. Ryan will have finished off most fantasy players seasons with another 20 point fantasy week, and has continued to be a reasonably […]

Jason Croom A Possible Streaming Option In Week 17

Buffalo Bills tight end Jason Croom set a career-high with four receptions on six targets for 55 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. The 24-year-old once again had a 20-yard reception giving him four such plays on the season but he also lost a fumble for a second time this year. He has 10 […]
