Jimmy Graham Not Recommended In Week 17

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) is not a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17, despite the favorable matchup. Graham hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 and hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards since Week 10. The 33-year-old has also been competing with Robert Tonyan and Mercedes […]

O.J. Howard An Intriguing Week 17 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has had a very disappointing season, but with Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring) both likely out for Week 17, he will have one more chance to leave a favorable impression. Howard has received seven targets over the past two weeks, which should stay about the same […]

Breshad Perriman A Solid Option Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman has made the most of his time as the Bucs No.1 receiving option with Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined. Perriman stayed hot in Week 16, hauling in seven catches for 102 yards, and with Godwin likely to sit out this week, Perriman should again be […]

Geronimo Allison Off The Fantasy Radar

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison isn't a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Allison hasn't caught more than four passes in a game and has exceeded 50 receiving yards only once. The 25-year-old has seen a decrease in snaps since Week 12. He shouldn't be near lineups in Week 17.

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 17 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was a non-factor in Week 16 even with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) out of the lineup. It was the Ronald Jones II show with the Bucs top receiving options missing, and that doesn't bode well for Barber's Week 17 outlook. The Bucs will play the […]

Ronald Jones II A Risky Week 17 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II rewarded fantasy owners who took a chance on him in Week 16. Expecting to see similar production out of him in Week 17 is risky though. A ghost one week and a star the next, it has obviously been a seesaw season for Jones, and that's not […]

Allen Lazard A Flex Play If He's Able To Go

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) has logged two limited sessions in practice this week. If he's able to play, he should be in the conversation as a flex play against the Detroit Lions, who have the worst pass defense in the league. They've allowed the third-most pass plays of 20 yards or […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Week 17 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston didn't perform quite as fantasy owners were hoping in Week 16, but he has a big chance to bounce back against a giving Atlanta Falcons secondary in Week 17. From a fantasy perspective, this season has been Winston's best. The fifth-year signal-caller undoubtedly helped carry many fantasy teams this […]

Davante Adams Gets Great Matchup In Week 17

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams faces the league-worst pass defense of the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Adams has been the Packers' undisputed number-one receiver since returning from injury, with double-digit targets in all but one game. He's had three 100-yard games and has scored four touchdowns after failing to find the end […]

Jamaal Williams A Low-End Flex If He Plays

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) hasn't practiced yet this week ahead of a favorable Week 17 matchup with the Detroit Lions. If he does play, he'll take on a Lions team that he piled up 136 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against in Week 6. Unfortunately, Williams has taken a backseat to […]

Aaron Jones A Must-Start Against Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Jones didn't do so hot the last time he faced the Lions, though he's red-hot heading into this one. The 24-year-old exploded for a career-high 154 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. More importantly, he saw 23 carries […]

Aaron Rodgers Should Be Able to Do Damage Against Lions

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers draws a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers didn't have a great game against Minnesota last week, as he was uncharacteristically inaccurate. The 36-year-old gets a great chance to bounce back against the Detroit Lions, who currently own the league's worst pass defense. Over the last […]

Michael Thomas Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, though there appears to be at least some doubt in regards to his status after two limited sessions this week, albeit one being a hypothetical practice report. Thomas will look to get in […]

Drew Brees Upgraded To Full Participant On Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Brees showed up as limited on a "hypothetical" practice report, though Coach Sean Payton said Brees is "fine." Fire up the red-hot signal-caller as a QB1 in a big game against the Carolina […]

Jamaal Williams Logs Second Straight DNP On Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) wasn't able to practice for the second straight day. Williams injured his shoulder in the third quarter of Green Bay's game against the Vikings and wasn't able to return. As of now, he's trending in the wrong direction with two DNPs. Hopefully, he can get even a […]

Allen Lazard, Jimmy Graham Limited On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) and tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Lazard has logged back-to-back limited sessions and seems destined to have a questionable tag for Sunday's game. Graham is likely to suit up on Sunday, as this has been his practice routine to keep […]

Davis Bertans Won't Play Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. It sounds like Bertans could miss at least a week of action, so that's not good news for Wizards' fans. Ian Mahinmi and Anzejs Pasecniks will continue to see a decent amount of minutes in the rotation with […]

Danilo Gallinari is Out on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks the second game in a row that Gallinari has missed due to a sore ankle. There's a chance that he plays on Friday, but it's a wait and see kind of thing. Darius Bazley is […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Play on Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He missed Monday's game due to a left groin issue. The contest on Friday is the first game of a back-to-back set. The Pacers may decide to take the cautious approach and have Brogdon sit out the first […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Will Try to Play on Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) will try to play in Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Pistons have lost five straight games and aren't in good shape at the moment. Having Brown back will help, but he's a risky DFS option for Thursday. It's unclear how much he's going to play, so […]

Luka Doncic Will Return on Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will return to the starting five for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Head coach Rick Carlisle confirmed that Doncic will return on Thursday, so fantasy owners can feel safe about plugging him back into their lineups. There's a chance that he'll see a minutes limit after missing […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Participates in Shootaround

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was able to participate in shootaround on Thursday. He's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but reportedly looked good during shootaround. Cory Joseph and Trevor Ariza will lose playing time if Bogdanovic returns on Thursday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off for more […]

Justise Winslow Remains Out on Friday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) remains out of the rotation for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He did some light shooting at practice on Thursday, but continues to deal with a bone bruise in his back. It's unclear when Winslow is going to return to the court. Goran Dragic, Tyler Herro, and Kendrick […]

Taj Gibson is Good to Go for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He sat out of Monday's game due to an illness, but it appears that he's feeling better now. Mitchell Robinson has been outplaying Gibson most games, so it'll be interesting to see if […]

Deandre Ayton is Listed as Out for Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was able to practice on Thursday, but it appears he'll sit out Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The Suns are going to be cautious with their star center, so he'll likely sit out until […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out for Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Carter-Williams has been sidelined. It's unclear at the moment how long he's going to be out. D.J. Augustin and Wesley Iwundu will gain some playing time until Carter-Williams returns. […]

PJ Washington Should Return on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington has missed the last five games with a pinky issue, but is probable for Friday. Nicolas Batum should head back to the second unit, while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is probably bounced out of the rotation. Washington […]

Eric Paschall is Questionable for Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He left Wednesday's contest against the Rockets and didn't return after playing only seven minutes. Draymond Green, Marquese Chriss, and possibly Willie Cauley-Stein will gain value if Paschall is sidelined on Friday. Green and Cauley-Stein are the only two […]

Kevon Looney Ruled Out for Weekend Set

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdominal) has been ruled out for the next two games. Looney is dealing with soreness in his abdominal and won't suit up for Friday or Saturday's contest. Willie Cauley-Stein will gain some playing time and should be worth adding in most formats. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss could see […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Smart is reportedly feeling better after dealing with an eye infection the last week or so. It sounds like he'll be back in action on Friday and shouldn't be limited at all. Brad Wanamaker would lose basically all […]
