The San Francisco 49ers elevated wide receiver Willie Snead IV and linebacker Curtis Robinson from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster to be available for Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Detroit Lions.

Detroit Lions tight end Zach Ertz has reportedly looked impressive in practice and is picking up everything extremely fast.

His […]

The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Vic Fangio as their new defensive coordinator. It was recently reported that Fangio left the Miami Dolphins with the intent to sign with the Eagles.

San Francisco 49ers D/ST Faces Challenge In Lions

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST unit comes into the NFC Championship Game versus the Detroit Lions with home-field advantage and facing a quarterback in Jared Goff who famously struggles outdoors, but expectations should be managed.

Jake Moody A Top Option In NFC Championship

San Francisco 49ers rookie kicker Jake Moody will look to keep a mostly successful postseason going smoothly when the team faces the Detroit Lions at home in the NFC Championship Game.

Brandon Aiyuk Poised For Production In Championship Game

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk will be a popular DFS play this Sunday when the team hosts the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship game, and for good reason.

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Recommended For DFS Lineups Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. hasn't been close to his prime numbers from his New York Giants or even Los Angeles Rams days.

Isaiah Likely May Remain Viable Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely stepped up in a huge way while Mark Andrews (ankle) missed around half of the season.

Zay Flowers Holds Mid-Level Value In AFC Championship

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has consistently hovered around WR2/WR3 territory all year, which has been amazing considering the fact that this is only his rookie year and the Ravens completely overhauled their offensive style and gameplan.

Justice Hill Ready For More Work Against Chiefs

Gus Edwards A Risky Flex Play Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has been a touchdown-dependent fantasy option all season long and the playoff matchups are no different. In their divisional game against the Houston Texans, Justice Hill received more work out of the backfield than Edwards. Hill received three more carries and caught one more pass. That gave him 38 […]

Patriots To Interview Luke Getsy For Offensive-Coordinator Job

Zach Ertz Picking Up Lions Offense Quickly

Lamar Jackson Primed For A Big AFC Championship Performance

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson gets to experience his first-ever AFC Championship game while the city of Baltimore gets to watch their team at home for the first time in the Ravens era for this big game.

Elijah Mitchell To Back Up Christian McCaffrey In NFC Championship

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell will not be a fantasy option when the team hosts the Detroit Lions on Sunday with the NFC Championship on the line.

Christian McCaffrey The Top RB Play In Championship Round
