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.

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]

Alex Collins Listed As Limited Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Collins should be healthy enough to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but there's no guarantee he'll see that much work behind Rashaad Penny and DeeJay Dallas, who scored Seattle's lone […]

Duke Johnson (RB, MIA) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Before this week-long slate of games, we had only saw Duke Johnson once playing for Miami--or anyone, actually. He did so back on Week 11 when he logged a ridiculously laughable six snaps for 1.8 PPR points against the Jets... and that's it […]

Is Leonard Fournette Playing This Week? Is Ronald Jones Worth Picking Up?

It's hard to believe, but Week 16 is nearly here. What's that mean? Well, in most fantasy football leagues, Week 16 represents the semifinal matchups. With players still getting injured all around the league and with guys constantly being put on and taken off the COVID-19 list, it's been even harder for fantasy managers to […]

DK Metcalf Limited On Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers DK Metcalf (foot) and Freddie Swain (ankle) were both listed as limited participants on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Metcalf has been managing a foot injury since Week 4, but he hasn't missed any time on game days. The 24-year-old had a prime opportunity to snap out of a slump on Tuesday […]

Ryan Tannehill - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill will look to turn things around Thursday night against the San Francisco 49ers after failing to top 200 passing yards over his last three games. He will most likely have both his top targets back for Thursday Night Football as wide receivers A.J. Brown (chest) and Julio Jones (hamstring) are […]

Justin Fields Dealing With Ankle Issue

Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Fields is dealing with a minor ankle injury ahead of the Week 16 date with the Seattle Seahawks, but he doesn't appear to be in any real danger of missing the game.

Donald Parham Jr. Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Parham suffered a scary head injury early in last Thursday's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and had to stay overnight in a hospital, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Chargers play it safe […]

D.J. Moore Likely To Be Game-Time Decision In Week 16

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that wide receiver D.J. Moore (hamstring), who missed practice on Wednesday, is likely to be a game-time decision on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore played almost all of the team's offensive snaps in the Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills and caught six of his […]

Leonard Fournette Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette (ankle, hamstring) did not take part in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. Fournette is expected to miss a game or two, but head coach Bruce Arians said it's too soon to tell if Fournette will need to go on Injured Reserve, which would knock him out until […]

Mike Evans Doesn't Practice On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) did not take to the practice field on Wednesday during the team's walkthrough.

Miles Sanders Listed As DNP Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (quadriceps) was listed as a DNP on Wednesday's estimated practice report. It's a new injury for Sanders, but the Eagles could just be resting him after playing on Tuesday night. The 24-year-old had a season-high 24 carries for 120 yards in Week 13 before the bye and followed it […]

Kyle Rudolph Limited To Start The Week

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.
