Craig Reynolds Posts 51 Total Yards

Detroit Lions running back Craig Reynolds carried the ball 11 times for 29 yards and added three catches for 22 yards in the Lions loss to the Falcons in Week 16. With teammate Jamaal Williams returning to the backfield, Reynolds' opportunities were diminished. It has been quite a journey for the former undrafted running back […]

Tim Boyle Passes For 184 Yards In Loss

Detroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle completed 24-of-34 passes for 184 yards, one touchdown and one interception in the Lions 20-16 loss to the Falcons in Week 16. Starting quarterback Jared Goff was unable to return in time in this game from the Covid-list and Boyle provided a typical backup-QB-type performance. It is likely Boyle will […]

Jamaal Williams Rushes For 77 Yards

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams returned to the lineup to deliver 19 carries for 77 yards in the team's 20-16 loss to the Falcons. Williams' second half of the season has been derailed by injuries but was given first-string touches in the Lions struggling offense. Teammate D'Andre Swift practiced last week but was unable […]

Joshua Palmer Finds End Zone In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Josh Palmer saw an extended opportunity with wide receivers Mike Williams and Jalen Guyton both sidelined in Week 16 versus the Houston Texans due to COVID-19. The rookie was targeted six times on the afternoon and caught five balls for 43 yards and a touchdown. Palmer's touchdown came in garbage […]

Keenan Allen Disappoints In Week 16 Loss

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen struggled in a Week 16 loss versus the Houston Texans. The normally reliable wideout was targeted six times on the afternoon and caught four balls for 35 yards. The veteran has been a steady source of double-digit points on a weekly basis, but just wasn't able to come […]

Jordan Howard Questionable To Return Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard is questionable to return on Sunday against the New York Giants after suffering a stinger. Before leaving late in the second half, Howard had a team-high nine carries for 37 yards (4.1 yards per carry) and hauled in two of his four targets for an additional 19 yards in […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Continues Late-Season Surge

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes for 91 yards with one touchdown in the Lions 20-16 loss to the Falcons. The rookie continued his hot streak with another impressive performance, leading the team with 11 targets while backup quarterback Tim Boyle took snaps under center. St. Brown now is averaging 85 […]

Tom Brady Quiet In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady went 18-for-30 for 232 yards with only one touchdown and no interceptions against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. Brady didn't need to do much, which is always a risk for his fantasy value, but his minimal output shouldn't be concerning to fantasy managers. It's easy to point to […]

Justin Herbert Struggles In Upset Loss

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert put together an ugly performance in an upset loss versus the Houston Texans in Week 16. With many fantasy leagues in their semifinals, Herbert couldn't have picked a worse time to lay an egg for his managers. The sophomore signal-caller struggled all day against the Texans defense and finished […]

Stephon Gilmore Injured In Week 16

Carolina Panthers cornerback Stephon Gilmore (groin) has been ruled out in the Week 16 game with a groin injury. Gilmore had been matched up with Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown for much of the day, but he recorded only three tackles before leaving late in the second half. In nine games with the […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Injures Knee, Ruled Out

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a knee injury. Before leaving, Henderson saw just one carry for 17 yards and wasn't targeted at all in the passing game. Sony Michel was once again the featured back for […]

Shaq Barrett Ruled Out With Knee Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Shaq Barrett (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers. Barrett was initially injured in the second quarter, but he returned to the game before finally being shut down for good. The 29-year-old entered the Week 16 contest with 47 tackles (35 […]

Darren Waller Officially Inactive Against Broncos

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) is officially inactive in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. Waller hasn't practiced or played since getting injured on Thanksgiving Day and was doubtful coming into this one, so fantasy managers should've already had Waller firmly planted on their benches. Backup Foster Moreau had his best […]

Alex Collins A Healthy Scratch Against Bears

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins is a healthy scratch for the Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears. Collins missed last week while on the COVID-19 list, and now he's the odd man out in this mediocre Seattle backfield. Rashaad Penny has been the team's leading ball-carrier in the last two weeks, and that […]

Adam Thielen Returns Against Rams

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams after aggravating his ankle injury in the first half. Thielen missed the previous two weeks due to a high ankle sprain and was pretty upset when he limped off the field in the second quarter, but he is […]

Miles Sanders Ruled Out For The Rest Of The Day

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to a hand injury. It's a tough break for Sanders' fantasy managers, as he had 6.4 yards per carry on seven rushing attempts for 45 yards before leaving the game. He also […]

Allen Robinson II Still Out, Marquise Goodwin Returning

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II will remain out of action in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks since he's still on the COVID-19 list. However, Marquise Goodwin (foot) is active on Sunday for the first time since he was injured in the Thanksgiving Day game. Jakeem Grant Sr. (concussion) was ruled out, so […]

Justin Fields Inactive On Sunday

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) is officially inactive in Week 16 against the Seattle Seahawks. Fields came into this game as questionable, but the Bears announced on Friday that Nick Foles would be getting the start, regardless of whether Fields was active. Andy Dalton (groin) is also inactive after just returning from the […]

Miles Sanders Questionable To Return With Hand Injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) is questionable to return to the Week 16 game against the New York Giants due to a hand injury. Before leaving the contest, Sanders led the team with seven carries while gaining 45 yards (6.4 yards per carry). He also caught one of his three targets in the […]

Jaguars Interested In Byron Leftwich As Next Head Coach

The Jacksonville Jaguars are interested in several candidates to fill their head-coaching vacancy heading into next season. Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich could be the ideal candidate to help mold young quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Along with Leftwich, the Jags are interested in interviewing former head coaches Jim Caldwell and Doug Pederson. Leftwich was […]

Adam Thielen Questionable To Return Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams after aggravating his ankle injury. Thielen was injured after catching a pass and looked pretty upset as he limped off the field under his own power. Considering that Thielen missed the previous two games with a […]

Mike Evans Has A Chance To Return Before Playoffs

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring), who is out in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, has a chance to return in the regular season, according to a source. Evans' hamstring injury isn't considered too serious and he was listed as week-to-week earlier in the week, so there's a chance that he could […]

Dak Prescott Working To Get Back On Track

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott hasn't been very good since he returned from a calf injury, but he's been spending extra time working with his receivers in recent weeks to get the Dallas offense back on track heading into the postseason. Prescott and his receivers have put in extra time outside of practice on specific […]

Not Much Optimism For Curtis Samuel

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring), who is a game-time decision for Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys, doesn't look likely to play in Week 16. Samuel sat out in Week 15 and is on the wrong side of questionable heading into the Sunday night game. Fantasy managers shouldn't have been considering Samuel […]

Bryan Edwards, Marcus Mariota Placed On COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders placed wide receiver Bryan Edwards and quarterback Marcus Mariota on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Sunday, which means they will be inactive for Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Nathan Peterman and wide receiver Dillon Stoner were activated from the COVID list in a corresponding move. Edwards caught his third touchdown […]

Sam Darnold Takes Over For Cam Newton Against Bucs

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold is taking over under center for Cam Newton in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday. A report surfaced Sunday morning that Darnold would play this weekend, setting him up to retake the starting QB job for the final two weeks of the season. Newton clearly isn't the […]

James Robinson Tears Achilles Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in Week 16 against the New York Jets on Sunday and was carted off the field. It's a tough way for Robinson to end his 2021 season, and it's also a tough break for fantasy managers that were relying on Robinson to put up […]
