Marcus Smart Won't Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This was expected as Smart continues to deal with eye infections in both his eyes. It sounds like Smart wants to get back on the court by the end of the month. Until then, Gordon Hayward (foot) and […]

Greg Ward Could Be a Sneaky Pick for Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward could be a surprisingly decent fantasy option in Week 17. With the Eagles in a must-win game against the New York Giants, Ward will sit atop the wide receiver depth chart. With Zach Ertz (ribs) questionable, Ward could draw more targets than usual. With a struggling Giants secondary tasked […]

Taj Gibson is Questionable Against Nets

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He didn't play on Monday due to an illness, which let Mitchell Robinson jump into the starting five. Robinson didn't play great on Monday, but he does have fantasy value. However, the Knicks are loaded in the […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott will lose most of his fantasy relevance in Week 17 due to the return of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Scott had some good moments and flashed some play making ability, but he was always playing behind rookie Miles Sanders and will now be behind him and Jordan Howard as well. […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Monday's game due to an Achilles issue, but the team isn't going to rush him back to the court. The Knicks season isn't going well and Morris is a decent trade piece for them. They want to […]

Miles Sanders an RB1 Choice in Week 17 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will be an RB1 option in Week 17 lineups despite the expected return of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Sanders has taken over the backfield in Howard's absence and should retain a key role, especially in the passing game. Sanders came up with 156 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown […]

Oscar Klefbom Scores in Loss to Vancouver

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom scored his fourth goal of the season on Monday as the Oilers fell to the Canucks. The second-period goal was Klefbom's second power-play goal of the season and staked Edmonton to a 2-1 lead that would later collapse into a 4-2 loss. Klefbom now has 23 points in 40 games, […]

Luka Doncic Was Able to Practice on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic (ankle) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice. The Mavs are unsure whether or not Doncic will be able to play on Thursday, but head coach Rick Carlisle indicated things are looking better for Doncic. Jalen Brunson, Delon Wright, and Seth Curry will lose value once Doncic returns. Brunson has […]

Carson Wentz Set Up for a Good Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is set for a solid performance in a Week 17 matchup with the New York Giants. Wentz and the Eagles will be playing in a win-and-in game so will surely leave it all on the field. Wentz just threw for 319 yards and a touchdown against the Cowboys in Week […]

LeBron James Practices on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (back) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He sat out for the first time this season on Sunday and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It takes a lot for James to sit out, so fantasy owners should expect him out […]

Anthony Davis Was Able to Practice on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (knee) was able to suit up for Tuesday's practice. He tweaked his right knee on Sunday and is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. It sounds like Davis should be able to play this one after getting through practice on Tuesday. Fantasy owners should […]

Matisse Thybulle is Out At Least Two Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (knee) is expected to be sidelined two to four weeks after suffering an injury last week. However, there's some optimism that Thybulle could return by the two week mark, according to Chris Haynes. Furkan Korkmaz and James Ennis should see more minutes coming their way. Neither player will make enough […]

Karl-Anthony Towns is Making Progress

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) was able to get up some shots during Tuesday's practice. It sounds like Towns is making progress from his left knee sprain. He's missed the last four games, but still gets a few days off until their next game. Gorgui Dieng will head back to the bench once Towns […]

Patrick Beverley Practices on Tuesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Patrick Beverley (groin) was able to fully practice on Tuesday. Beverley is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He sat out of Sunday's game due to a sore groin. It doesn't sound like Beverley will be limited at all on Wednesday. Lou Williams should head […]

Week 16 Surprises? Takeaways and Overreactions

In Week 16, the quarterback position was kind of a mess. Jameis Winston and Deshaun Watson were playing against each other in a potential smash spot as each opposing defense performed consistently poorly against the pass throughout the season. Instead, both Winston and Watson struggled in what amounted to an exciting, but disappointing game. Daniel […]

Patriots Defense A Top Week 17 Play

The New England Patriots Defense has enjoyed a fantastic season and will have one final tuneup before the playoffs begin when they face the Dolphins in Week 17. The Patriots defense has recorded 15 forced fumbles, 25 interceptions and 45 sacks in a dominant season. Now they will play a Dolphins offense that is allowing […]

Julian Edelman Has Dynamite Matchup

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will take on a Dolphins Defense that has allowed the second most fantasy points to receivers this season. It has been a career year for Edelman, who has 97 receptions for 1,091 yards and six touchdowns this season. He has been a model of consistency and now will […]

James White Has RB3/4 Value Against Dolphins

New England Patriots running back James White will take on a Dolphins Defense in Week 17 that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing backs this season. White himself scored a touchdown against them in Week 2 but it has been a disappointing season for the veteran. After posting 12 total touchdowns and […]

Sony Michel Back On The Fantasy Radar For Week 17

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will try and finish up the regular season strong against the Dolphins in Week 17. It has been a wildly inconsistent season for the second-year running back but he has 185 rushing yards over his last two games. Now he will take on a Dolphins Defense that is […]

Josh Jacobs Practicing Tuesday

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) went through the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday, and offensive coordinator Greg Olson said it "was encouraging." Jacobs has a chance to return in Week 17 against the Broncos after sitting out in Week 16, and this is a good start to his practice week. The impressive […]

Tom Brady Has Favorable Matchup Against Dolphins

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will wrap up the regular season against a Dolphins Defense that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to passers this season. The Dolphins have allowed multiple touchdowns to 12 of the 15 quarterbacks they have faced this season, including 17 scores over their last six played. Brady enjoyed […]

Bears Defense Could Lack Bite Against Minnesota

The Chicago Bears Defense will conclude their disappointing season this Sunday against the Vikings in Week 17. After posting historical-type numbers of dominance last season, the Bears simply failed to replicate the amount of turnovers they created a year ago. They will go up against a Vikings offense that they dominated back in Week 4 […]

Anthony Miller A Volatile Option Against Vikings

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller will finish up his sophomore season against a Vikings Defense that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to receivers. Minnesota has allowed 20 different receivers this season to post 10 or more fantasy points against them and secondary receivers have fared well in recent weeks. Miller had been […]

Allen Robinson 11 Catches Shy Of 100

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson will finish up his season this Sunday against a Vikings Defense that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to receivers. Robinson has been a bright spot on a poor Bears offense this season and is 11 catches shy of his first 100-catch season. Robinson heads into the game […]

Tarik Cohen Has Limited Value Against Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen will wrap up a disappointing offensive season against the Vikings in Week 17. Cohen caught a touchdown but posted only 18 yards from scrimmage against the Vikings in Week 4, a unit that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to running backs. After posting 1,169 yards from scrimmage […]

David Montgomery Has Shaky Week 17 Value

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will go up against a Vikings Defense in Week 17 that is allowing the 11th fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. The rookie running back has shown glimpses of his immense talent but his production has suffered behind a makeshift offensive line and, at times, odd play-calling. […]

Terry McLaurin In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury after a catch late in the Week 16 game against the Giants. He will be re-evaluated on Thursday. McLaurin has been the team's most dynamic playmaker all season long, but his status for the season finale […]

Mitch Trubisky Has Little Week 17 Value

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky will put a bow on his disappointing season in Week 17 against the Vikings. After a stretch of promising football, Trubisky has reverted back to his old, ineffective ways the past two games. Now he will take on a Vikings Defense that, may not be playing for much with their […]

Zach Ertz Up In The Air For Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (rib) is expected to be questionable for Week 17 against the Giants after fracturing a rib in the Week 16 win over the Cowboys. It could be a matter of pain tolerance for Ertz, but the Eagles will look at everything before deciding if they want to risk Ertz […]
