A.J. Brown Looks To Find End Zone For First Time In Four Games

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will face off against the Arizona Cardinals in the team's final home game of the regular season in Week 17. The 26-year-old started off slow last week with just one catch in the first half but was force-fed targets in the second half and ended the day with 80 […]

D'Andre Swift Has Top-12 Upside In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift will take on the Arizona Cardinals in the team's final home game of the regular season in Week 17. The 24-year-old found the end zone for the first time since Week 11 last week in the Eagles win over the Giants and now has a smash matchup to capitalize […]

Jalen Hurts A Top-Three Option Against Cardinals

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts will face off against the Arizona Cardinals during the Eagles final home game of the regular season in Week 17. The 25-year-old got back on track for fantasy managers last week after a couple of rough outings and now gets the chance to face an Arizona defense that has struggled […]

Gardner Minshew Not A Strong QB1 Option In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew completed 20 of his 37 passes for 201 yards and no touchdowns in the team's Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He now gears up for a Week 17 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, a defense allowing the tenth-least fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Minshew's fantasy production is […]

Josh Downs A Risky Play In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs caught six of his nine targets for 39 yards in the team's Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie led all Colts pass-catchers in targets as No.1 receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion) missed the game due to injury. With Pittman cleared to return in the team's […]

Jonathan Taylor Up For A Big Workload In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor ran the ball 18 times for 43 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He now gears up for a Week 17 matchup against the Raiders, one in which fellow running back Zack Moss (forearm) has been ruled out from. Taylor is […]

Dallas Cowboys D/ST – Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Tier 4 (Overall DST #13) ANALYSIS: The Dallas Cowboys return home to face Detroit and the NFL's third-best offense at AT&T Stadium on Saturday night. The Lions are averaging 394 yards of offense per game, behind only Miami and San Francisco. The Cowboys, however, had held […]

Odell Beckham Jr. A Risky Flex Option Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has been on a rough stretch over the last couple of games. He received three targets in each game and turned that into a combined three catches for 27 yards and no scores. The Miami Dolphins aren't the best defense against opposing receivers as shown by their rank […]

Steelers D/ST Should Be Avoided In Week 17

The Pittsburgh Steelers surrendered 11 points while recording three sacks, a forced fumble, and three interceptions in a Week 16 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. It was an excellent showing for Pittsburgh's defense, but the team will be tested in Seattle against the Seahawks on Sunday. The Seahawks are scoring over 22 points per contest […]

Chris Boswell Not A Recommended Option Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was excellent in Week 16, drilling both of his field goal attempts and converting on all four of his extra-point tries. He'll look to stay busy in a Week 17 road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Although Pittsburgh's offense showed signs of life with Mason Rudolph under center last week, […]

Pat Freiermuth Difficult To Trust In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth failed to record a reception in a Week 16 victory but will hope to bounce back against the Seattle Seahawks. It was clear that the Cincinnati Bengals made it a priority to shut down Freiermuth last week after the 25-year-old torched them for nine receptions and 120 yards back […]

George Pickens Looks To Build On Strong Showing

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens is fresh off a massive performance and will be carrying positive momentum into a Week 17 showdown with the Seattle Seahawks. Although last week's victory was the first contest in which Pickens played with Mason Rudolph starting at quarterback, the duo displayed plenty of chemistry, connecting for 195 yards […]

Gus Edwards Continues To Hold Flex Value In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards was expected to resume his role as the lead back after Keaton Mitchell (knee) went down, but he ended up taking a backseat to Justice Hill in Week 16. Edwards remains the go-to red zone option when it comes to the backfield which still gives him some fantasy value […]

Diontae Johnson Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson finished with just two receptions in Week 16 but will hope to have a more prominent role against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Although Johnson earned five targets from quarterback Mason Rudolph last week, he was quiet for fantasy purposes while teammate George Pickens exploded for 195 yards and […]

Kenny Pickett Tagged As Questionable

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The young signal-caller has been sidelined since Week 13 due to an ankle injury. Pickett was able to get through limited practice sessions all week. If he's active, Pickett is going to be the […]

Jaylen Warren Has PPR Upside Against Seahawks

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has been heavily involved as a receiver over the past three weeks and will look to capitalize on a solid matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. With Mason Rudolph at quarterback last week, Warren earned six targets and recorded five receptions for 30 yards, making it the […]

Derrick Henry - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in shallow leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB2 ANALYSIS: It feels weird recommending Derrick Henry as a sit, but here we are. If you're in a deeper league it might be more difficult to sit the king with many viable RBs on other rosters. But in shallower leagues, you may have some better […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Questionable For Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quad) is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Robinson began the week as a limited participant in practice. He was upgraded to full on Thursday, but then returned to being a limited participant on Friday. Possibly, Robinson re-aggravated his […]

Isaiah Likely Carries TE1 Value In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has played a huge role in the offense ever since Mark Andrews (ankle) went down in Week 11. During that time, Likely ranks fifth among tight ends in routes run per team dropback with 80.5% and he's in the top ten for receiving yards with 249. On top of […]

C.J. Stroud Returning In Week 17

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was able to get through his second straight full practice session on Friday. The rookie quarterback cleared the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. Fantasy managers should expect Stroud to be out there for the Week 17 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans still have a chance at […]

Darnell Mooney Ruled Out For Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This was expected after Mooney continued to sit out of practice due to concussion symptoms. The absence of Mooney won't have a big impact on this offense. He hasn't caught more than two passes […]

Najee Harris A Solid Flex Option In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the team's injury report ahead of a road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Steelers' offense played well with Mason Rudolph under center last week and Harris contributed to the victory with 78 rushing yards and a touchdown. He'll […]

Cole Kmet Questionable For Week 17

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) has returned to practice and was a limited participant during Friday's session. He missed the first two practices of the week, but a return on Friday is a good sign. Kmet is currently listed as questionable for the Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. He has been […]

Patriots Defense Not A Top Option For Week 17

The New England Patriots' defense lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. This unit was impressive with five sacks and one defensive touchdown last Sunday, but it still ranks 23rd in terms of fantasy points this season. Their upside will be capped against a strong Josh Allen-led offense that has held […]

Chad Ryland Off Fantasy Radar Despite Last Week's Big Kick

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland cannot be trusted in fantasy football leagues ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Although the rookie did make two field goals last Sunday, including a historic 56-yard game-winner, he also missed two kicks in the contest. He is now 21-for-22 on extra points and a woeful 15-for-23 […]

Lamar Jackson Remains A Must-Start Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson checks in at QB4 after three straight QB1-level performances since their bye in Week 13. In that span, he has 739 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while completing 61 of his 102 attempts. He's also ran for 212 yards on 30 carries but hasn't found the end zone. In […]

Demario Douglas Has Fantasy Appeal For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas is an appealing fantasy option ahead of Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. The rookie is coming off a solid Christmas Eve outing in which he turned eight targets into five receptions for 74 yards. He has emerged as one of Bailey Zappe's favorite and most reliable options […]

Zay Flowers Questionable For Week 17

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (calf) was limited in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable to suit up on Sunday to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 17 action. The good news is that the first-rounder was able to practice at all on Friday after skipping practice sessions on Wednesday and […]

DeVante Parker Remains In Line For Large Role

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker remains a key part of the passing attack ahead of Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills. Parker has played more than 90 percent of offensive snaps in each of his last two games, totaling nine catches and 109 yards during that span. He has carved out a key […]
