Mike Evans Not On The Right Track

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was not seen at practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Evans injured his hamstring last Sunday night and was labeled as week-to-week for Week 16's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Unless Evans returns to the practice field on Friday, he'll likely be out this weekend […]

Panthers Place Starting Center On COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers center Pat Elflein was placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday, along with backup guard and left tackle Dennis Daley. While Elflein's placement is a more immediate concern, Daley being out on Sunday could also rear its head since starting left tackle Cameron Erving has been limited in practice with a calf injury. […]

Saints Place Trevor Siemian On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints quarterback Trevor Siemian will be placed on the COVID-19 list on Thursday. That means that Ian Book will be activated to back up Taysom Hill this weekend, which is of note considering Hill is playing through a finger injury that he suffered in the loss to the Cowboys a few weeks ago. […]

Finding Tight End Breakouts - Christmas Edition and End-Of-Year Recap

Week 15 is finally in the books and for many, it's a sigh of relief. This past week may have been one of the most challenging fantasy weeks that I can remember. Week 7 when there were six teams on bye is another one that comes to mind, but between the number of injuries fantasy […]

Key Fantasy Football Data from Week 15

There are just a couple of weeks left in the season, and most leagues are probably into their playoff weeks now. It has been a whirlwind of a season, and I think we're all hoping next year brings a little bit more normalcy. Week 15 was no exception to the weirdness of the year, as […]

Taylor Heinicke Clears COVID-19 Protocols, Returns To Practice

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke cleared COVID-19 protocols and will return to practice Thursday. He was inactive for Tuesday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles as he could not clear COVID-19 protocols. The 28-year-old will practice and is expected to be taken off the COVID list ahead of Sunday's contest against the Dallas Cowboys. He […]

Davante Adams - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams continues to find the end zone and has scored five times over his last four games. The 29-year-old owns a ridiculous 32% of the team's targets (first among all wide receivers) and averages 10 air yards per target. He is having a terrific season, reeling in 96 receptions […]

Fantasy Football Champs and Chumps - Offensive Line Analysis for Week 16

Week 15 was a blood bath for fantasy football players with numerous high-profile players failing to show up. A combination of injuries and COVID outbreaks wreaked havoc across the NFL, causing one of the lower fantasy scoring weeks of the season. While some reliable players like Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert, and Jonathan Taylor continued to […]

Week 16 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

Before you even ask, yes, we are aware that our COVID-centered intros are becoming a bit of a broken record. That said, we must keep coming back to this particular record because it continues to be the biggest factor in fantasy football right now. While COVID went much of this year without impacting any NFL […]

Tony Pollard Puts In A Limited Practice

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Pollard returned from a torn plantar fascia in his left foot in Week 15 against the New York Giants and had 12 carries for 74 yards while catching all three of his targets for an additional 13 yards in the victory. He […]

Curtis Samuel Listed As Limited Wednesday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Samuel didn't play in Week 15, so he'll likely need to actually practice later this week for the team to feel comfortable throwing him out there on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old has had a […]

Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Due To Toe Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) didn't see the practice field on Wednesday due to a toe injury that he suffered in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gibson left the game but returned, so hopefully that means he'll be able to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday […]

Zay Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones (toe) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury. We'll have a better idea in the coming days if his toe injury is serious enough to keep him out in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old had season-highs in catches (six), targets (nine) […]

Josh Jacobs Out Sick Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Jacobs isn't on the COVID-19, but his status bears watching as the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos approaches on Sunday. As long as Jacobs gets on the practice field later this week, he should be considered likely […]

Darren Waller Remains Out Of Practice

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday. Waller hasn't practiced or played since Thanksgiving, so his fantasy managers must continue to have a backup plan in place in case he can't play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Whenever Waller gets back on the field, he'll immediately […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Limited Thursday

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) was limited in the team's first practice on Wednesday with a knee ailment. It doesn't seem like too serious of an injury for the 23-year-old, so unless he misses a practice later this week, Albert O should be active this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders. Okwuegbunam remains […]

Courtland Sutton Limited With Wrist Injury

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. The fact that Sutton is practicing to begin the week is a good sign, but we'll continue to keep an eye on him as the team prepares for a divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. The 26-year-old wideout […]

Javonte Williams Remains On The Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Williams was limited all last week and was questionable, but he was never in any danger of missing the game. The near-even timeshare between Williams and Gordon should continue in a good matchup in Week 16 against […]

Melvin Gordon III Idle To Begin The Week

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) didn't practice to begin the practice week on Wednesday. As long as Gordon can get back on the practice field within the next few days, he should be able to play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. He and rookie Javonte Williams each saw 15 […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Ronald Jones II is going to get his chance... again. Leonard Fournette has had an incredible season, but unfortunately is dealing with an injury that will likely keep him out for several weeks. After leaving last week's game with […]

Craig Reynolds (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The NFL is an unpredictable sport, and fantasy football is an unpredictable game. Exhibit A is Craig Reynolds, who has pretty much come out of nowhere to become a relevant running back for the Lions and fantasy managers. For the 2nd week […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week Austin Ekeler was dealing with an injury, so Justin Jackson received more touches than usual in the Thursday Night game against the Chiefs, racking up 13 carries for 86 yards. Firmly established as the number two running back on the Chargers, […]

Titans Defense- Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Tennessee Titans special teams/defense has allowed 19 points or less in four straight games and will look to continue their solid play against the San Francisco 49ers. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the 49ers having a team-implied total of 23.5. The Titans have allowed 329 total […]

Randy Bullock - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has converted at least two field goals in three of his last five games. The 32-year-old has drilled 22-of-26 field-goal attempts while converting 32-of-35 extra-point tries. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the Titans having a team-implied total of 20.5. Bullock has scored […]

Geoff Swaim - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans' tight end Geoff Swaim has been limited to one catch in three of his last four games. He continues to lead Tennessee's tight ends in snaps but isn't heavily utilized in the passing game as the veteran owns just 8% of the team's target share. The 28-year-old has caught 24 passes for 189 […]

Devin Bush Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was the latest Steelers player to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Bush is the team's starting inside linebacker, so the Steelers atrocious run defense could be even more compromised in Week 16 against the powerful Kansas City Chiefs offense. The 10th overall pick of the 2019 draft had […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine led the team in targets and yards in the Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is expected to serve as the Titans WR3 against the San Francisco 49ers, with wideouts A.J. Brown (chest) and Julio Jones (hamstring) expected to play Thursday Night. The 24-year-old has scored two […]

Pat Freiermuth Out With Concussion Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Freiermuth is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for this Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. […]

Dontrell Hilliard - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans running back Dontrell Hilliard continues to be the team's top pass-catching back and has caught at least four passes in two of his last four games. D'Onta Foreman (ankle) is expected to play and out carried Hilliard 22-to-9 in the Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This season, the 49ers rank 17th […]
