Mike Williams Headed To COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was placed on the league's reserve/COVID-19 list and will not play in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. The Chargers will be shorthanded in the passing game as they will now be without Jalen Guyton (COVID-19), Austin Ekeler (COVID-19), and Donald Parham (concussion). Without Williams, look for Keenan […]

Josh Johnson Will Start Sunday, Ravens Add Kenji Bahar To Roster

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Josh Johnson will make his first NFL start since 2018 on Sunday when traveling to face the Bengals. While Johnson is a last-minute option with Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley (Reserve/COVID-19) unavailable, he has prior experience from this season to draw upon: a 27-for-41 effort in Week 9 with the Jets […]

Cam Akers Rejoins Rams Active Roster, Out For Week 16

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (Achilles) was a surprise addition to the team's active roster for Sunday's game against Minnesota, but he won't be traveling to take the field. Akers sustained a torn Achilles tendon back in July, an injury that was thought to keep him out for the season; the team has […]

Kansas City Activates Travis Kelce, Status For Sunday Unclear

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been added back to the team's active roster for Sunday's game against the Steelers, but he has not yet been cleared from the Reserve/COVID-19 list. The team's hope is that Kelce will test negative Sunday morning, ultimately paving the way for him to suit up. Kansas City […]

Tyreek Hill Rejoins Chiefs, Set To Play Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill cleared the league's COVID-19 protocols Saturday, paving the way for the star wideout to suit up in Week 16 against the Steelers. Hill will wind up not having missed game action due to the Reserve/COVID-19 list, retaining his massive fantasy appeal even after having been away from the […]

Foster Moreau - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Foster Moreau is on track to start again and looking to have a big impact on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Moreau was limited in practice earlier in the week with an abdomen/thigh injury but cleared the injury report in time for Sunday's game. The LSU product was stymied by […]

Hunter Renfrow - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is looking to have a bounce-back game on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. The Clemson product had just three catches for 32 yards on Monday against the Cleveland Browns and even bobbled a few passes, capping off on an uncharacteristically slow day at the office. Renfrow is still […]

Austin Ekeler Will Be Unavailable For Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler tested positive again for COVID-19 on Saturday, officially ruling him out for Sunday's matchup against the Texans. The absence from Ekeler will mark his first of the season, with the trio of Justin Jackson, Joshua Kelley, and Larry Rountree III set to fill in out of the backfield. […]

Josh Jacobs - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is looking to get off to a better start on Sunday against the Denver Broncos. After missing practice earlier this week with the illness, Jacobs has been a full participant as he aims to outdo his performance from last week. The Alabama product was slow to get going […]

Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

The Baltimore Ravens' quarterback options for Sunday's game against Cincinnati have been drastically shortened with Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley (illness) ruled out. Jackson's absence due to an ankle injury marks his second contest in a row on the sidelines, while Huntley was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. The team will roll with […]

Derek Carr - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a tall task on his hands on Sunday against the Denver Broncos – to the point it's probably safer if fantasy managers don't play him. The 30-year-old signal-caller completed 25 of 38 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Cleveland Browns on Monday, […]

Is Tyreek Hill Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Buckle up for Week 16, folks. The fantasy football landscape has been tough to navigate during the playoffs with injuries and COVID-19 running rampant throughout the league.

Is Austin Ekeler Playing This Week? Is Justin Jackson Worth Picking Up?

Week 16 is here. Will it be just as wild as Week 15 was? We shall see, but big-name players continue to land on the COVID-19 list, while others are injury question marks. Fantasy football managers would love nothing more than to be gifted a win in the fantasy semifinals during Christmas weekend, but you'll […]

Brett Maher - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher is not a strong play against the Dolphins in Week 16. Maher has been reliable in the four games he has played with New Orleans, going 8-for-9 in field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 in extra points. Nevertheless, the Saints plan to start a rookie QB who has never made an […]

Saints Defense A Viable Play Against Dolphins

The New Orleans Saints defense is a streaming option in Week 16. This unit is coming off an impressive shutout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the only shutouts legendary QB Tom Brady has suffered in his career. This unit has certainly been the strength of this team all season as the offense deals […]

Nick Vannett - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett is not a viable tight end option in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Vannett posted a couple of decent games in the last few weeks but he surely hasn't been consistent. The TE has posted 44 yards or more in two of the past four games. He also […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway should be considered nothing more than a deep-league flex in Week 16. The upside is that Callaway could see a lot of targets given Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder) may not be able to play and Deonte Harris remains suspended. The downside is that New Orleans could be starting a […]

Mark Ingram II - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II shouldn't start for your fantasy team in Week 16. The RB has posted 47 rushing yards or less in five of six contests since returning to the Saints earlier this season. Last week, he managed nine carries for only 10 yards. Given he will always be second […]

Happy Holidays, everyone. After Week 15 concluded with two games on Tuesday, Week 16 began with Thursday Night Football, featuring the 49ers taking on the Titans in Nashville.

Alvin Kamara - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 option in Week 16 against Miami. The 26-year-old had an off-week last week but that was against a stingy Tampa run defense. The RB has high volume in this offense and could see even more touches this week given the Saints are preparing to start […]

Ian Book - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book is not a strong fantasy option in Week 16. The 23-year-old rookie is preparing to make his first NFL start on Monday with QBs Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian on the COVID list. The QB will have to play a Dolphins squad that is somewhat stingy to fantasy quarterbacks, […]

Is Jared Goff Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

It's Week 16 and we are heading for the semi-finals of most fantasy football leagues. The playoffs mean that paying attention to injury/COVID news is even more vital to your team's success.

Steelers Defense In A Tough Spot Vs. KC In Week 16

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense almost single-handedly won the game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15 as they racked up four sacks and forced four turnovers. They might struggle to replicate that success in a tough road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. The Chiefs are installed as 8.5-point home favorites with […]

Chris Boswell - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 16. Boswell has been a reliable kicker in 2021 as he has hit on 28 of 31 field goals and 23 of 25 extra points. The Chiefs have been tough on kickers this year as they are allowing […]

Is Taylor Heinicke Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Injuries and COVID-19 continue to wreak havoc on the NFL schedule. Last week, the game between the Washington Football team and Philadelphia Eagles was moved to Tuesday and still failed to rid itself of COVID. Washington was adversely affected as both of their top quarterbacks were placed on the COVID list, and were forced to […]
