Saints Won't Sign Antonio Brown Right Now

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said the team won't sign free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown "right now" after working him out on Friday. Brown's visit was more about "due diligence" at this point of the season, and the team had six receivers at their facility on Friday. Even if Brown were to sign […]

David Blough Not A Recommended Week 17 Start

Detroit Lions quarterback David Blough completed only 50% of his pass attempts in Week 16, and has seen his production steadily drop in each game since he took over for Jeff Driskel (hamstring). Things won't get any easier for Blough in Week 17 with the Green Bay Packers coming to town. Matthew Stafford passed for […]

Week 17 Watch List: Fantasy Football Auditions for 2020?

If you're lucky enough to play in a reasonable league that does not schedule its championship during Week 17, then you obviously don't have to worry about players' fantasy impact for the rest of this year. However, you should now be in advanced scouting mode. This is especially true if you are a dynasty or […]

Ryan Getzlaf Returns To Lineup On Friday

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf (illness) will make his return to the lineup on Friday versus the Vegas Golden Knights. The 34-year-old had previously been battling an illness that kept him sidelined for two games over the past weekend. Getzlaf is currently in the midst of a four-game pointless streak despite putting together fairly strong […]

Tyrell Williams Will Play In Week 17

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) will play in Week 17 against the Broncos. The Raiders will likely be without rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) in this must-win divisional tilt, but Williams will be on the field. He opened the season with touchdowns in five straight games, […]

Jamaal Williams Won't Play Against Lions

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) will not play in Week 17 against the Lions. The Packers will give Williams a rest with a playoff spot already locked up. The team will still be playing for a potential first-round bye this week, though, so expect the Packers […]

Kyler Murray A Game-Time Decision Against Rams

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 17 against the Rams. With the Cardinals game one of just three contests with a late-afternoon start this Sunday, Murray becomes an even riskier QB2 for Week 17 fantasy matchups. Los Angeles could be resting […]

Mark Ingram Officially Ruled Out

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) has officially been ruled out for Week 17 against the Steelers. Ingram suffered a calf strain in Week 16, and he'll be rested until the Divisional Round of the playoffs. With the Ravens resting most of their starters in a meaningless game for them, Gus Edwards and Justice […]

Seattle RB Outlooks: DFS, Seasonal and Dynasty Perspectives

It’s fine, RotoBallers. You can admit you did it. Some of us already have. In fact, I’m doing it now (and loving it). I’m of course referring to looking at the Sunday Night Showdown on DraftKings to see where Marshawn Lynch is priced. As soon as he signed with the Seahawks to finish out their […]

Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Questionable

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) are both questionable for Week 17 against the Steelers. The Ravens have already locked up home-field advantage for the AFC playoffs, so Andrews and Brown will play limited snaps in the regular season finale, if they even play at all. Cornerbacks […]

Steelers Defense Gets Prime Spot Against Ravens Backups

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense will face off with the AFC-leading Baltimore Ravens in Week 17, albeit without Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram. The Steelers house arguably the best defense in football, so not having to face the most electric player in football definitely gives them a fantasy boost. TJ Watt is a candidate for AFC […]

Vance McDonald Not An Option Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald can safely be left off your fantasy lineups in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens. McDonald has had a down year, catching just 36 passes for 254 yards and three touchdowns, and has just 34 yards on eight catches over the last four games. On a fantasy point per […]

Jimmy Garoppolo And Niners Playing For NFC Crown

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo leads his team on the road in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks with plenty on the line. Playing for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Jimmy G will start in arguably the biggest game of his career. The sixth-year signal caller has enjoyed a solid season, with […]

Diontae Johnson Looking To Finish Rookie Season Strong

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is fresh off the best game of his rookie season, where he caught eight balls for 81 yards and a score against the Jets. Now in Week 17, Johnson will rely on the Ravens secondary worrying about JuJu Smith-Schuster and James Washington to produce. Since Baltimore is expected to […]

Drew Brees A Low-End QB1 Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Brees is on fire coming into this one, with 935 passing yards and 12 touchdowns in his last three contests. Carolina doesn't present an impossible matchup- they rank 13th against the pass. The problem is, the Panthers have been one of […]

James Washington A Flex Option Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington has really come into his own over the second half of this season. Often serving as the team's WR1 in JuJu Smith-Schuster's absence, Washington has 44 receptions for 735 yards and three scores in his second full campaign. Against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Washington could slip behind the […]

George Kittle Within Arm's Length Of Century Mark

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle will seek to cap off another brilliant season in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite missing two games midseason, Kittle is just 33 yards shy of breaching 1,000 yards for the second straight season. The All-Pro is also peaking at the right time, clearing 65 yards in […]

Taylor Gabriel Ruled Out For Season Finale

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Vikings after missing practice all week. Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (elbow) and nose tackle Eddie Goldman (concussion) were also ruled out. Gabriel has been out since Nov. 24 against the Giants and finishes the 2019 season with a disappointing […]

Browns Defense a Solid Option in Week 17

The Cleveland Browns Defense draws a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in their season finale on Sunday. Cleveland's defense has struggled in recent weeks but will take on a Bengals offense that has been one of the most generous in the league to fantasy defenses. Cleveland's defense can be treated as a top-12 option […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Doesn't Offer Much Upside In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster draws a tough card in Week 17 against the Baltimore Ravens. The USC product returned to action last Sunday after missing four games with a concussion and lingering knee issue. However, he proceeded to catch just two passes for 22 yards in a bad loss to the Jets. While […]

Emmanuel Sanders Enduring Boom-Or-Bust Season

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is an upside WR4 in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 32-year old veteran has been solid since joining the Niners in mid-October, scoring four times and playing nearly every snap, but he’s also posted a few clunkers with four contests under 30 yards. Sanders will draw […]

Jarvis Landry a Solid Fantasy Option in Week 17

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry draws a plus matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. Landry will take on a Cincinnati defense that ranks just 28th in the league in pass-defense DVOA but is allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. That being said, the Bengals have been […]

James Conner Out Against Ravens

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (quadriceps) will not play in the 2019 regular season finale against the Baltimore Ravens, the team announced on Friday. Conner went down with the leg injury against the Jets last Sunday and will cede the starting role to Benny Snell Jr., who rushed for just 14 yards on seven […]

Deebo Samuel Starting To Factor Into Rushing Attack

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be a solid WR3 in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. While he’s emerged as a trustworthy target in the passing attack, Samuel has also demonstrated his versatility with seven rushes for 89 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. Facing a vulnerable Seahawks Defense […]

Kareem Hunt a Solid Flex in Season Finale

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt can be treated as a solid flex option in his team's season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Hunt has been utilized extensively in the passing game by Cleveland this season, averaging 4.9 receptions on 5.9 targets over his seven games with the Browns. The Bengals have been […]

Tevin Coleman Barely Scratches Fantasy Relevance

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman remains a risky flex in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Coleman has mustered barely over four touches per game since Week 13 and has not factored into the passing game (one catch). Coleman managed 72 scrimmage yards in Week 10 against the Seahawks and draws a favorable […]

Benny Snell Jr. Could See Increased Workload

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. may wind up serving as the full-time back if James Conner (quad) is unable to go. Conner has missed practice all week after toting just six carries a week ago, before going down with the injury. However, in Snell's seven carries against the Jets, he rushed for just […]
