Kyle Rudolph Tallies One Catch

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught one of two targets for seven yards in Week 16's 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The Vikings threw 31 times but the increased volume did not benefit Rudolph as he continues to profile as a touchdown-or-bust option at the position. Rudolph will again be an uninspiring […]

Adam Thielen Invisible In Loss

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen had zero catches on four targets in a tough 23-10 defeat to the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. He added one carry for two yards in what was a severely disappointing effort from the sixth-year receiver. This was Thielen's second game back from a lengthy injury absence, but […]

Jamaal Williams Posts 52 Scrimmage Yards, Injures Shoulder

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) picked up 33 rushing yards on six totes and caught both of his targets for 19 receiving yards in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Williams ran well for most of the game before injuring his shoulder sometime in the third quarter. The Packers fed Aaron […]

Stefon Diggs Hauls In Sixth Touchdown

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs caught three of five targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Week 16's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Diggs was also 0-for-1 passing as he overthrew a wide-open Kirk Cousins on a reverse pass. Diggs caught a 21-yard touchdown in the second quarter and was really the […]

Mike Boone Disappoints In Spot Start

Minnesota Vikings running back Mike Boone carried 11 times for 28 yards in Week 16's 23-10 defeat against the Green Bay Packers. He added one catch for five yards. Boone, drawing the start with Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) out, failed to deliver and was phased out of the offense entirely in the […]

Aaron Jones Explodes For 154 Rushing Yards In Win

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 23 times for 154 rushing yards and two touchdowns with two catches on three targets for six receiving yards in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Jones fumbled the ball on the opening drive, though it soon became a distant memory as the game […]

Kirk Cousins Underwhelms In Defeat

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 16 of 31 passes for 122 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a dismal 23-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Cousins just couldn't get anything going all night as he was inaccurate and plagued by an offensive line that got thoroughly dominated. Cousins' touchdown pass was a […]

Aaron Rodgers Struggles Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 26 of 40 passes for 216 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception in a 23-10 win over the Minnesota Vikings. It was a shaky night for Rodgers, who struggled with accuracy at times and put out his third-lowest yards per attempt mark of the year, 5.4. It's also […]

Zach Ertz Has Fractured Rib

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (rib) suffered a fractured rib in the Week 16 win over the Cowboys, according to a source informed of the situation. Ertz is undergoing further tests and the Eagles are in wait-and-see mode to find out if it's an injury that Ertz can play through in Week 17 and […]

Erik Haula Has Big Day Against The Leafs

In just his second game back from a knee injury, Erik Haula of the Carolina Hurricanes scored two goals and added an assist in an 8-6 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. He now has 10 goals and five power-play points in 18 games during his injury-shortened season. Owned in just 18% of Yahoo leagues […]

Mitchell Marner, Leafs Blow Past Hurricanes 8-6

Mitchell Marner had two goals and recorded five points in the Toronto Maple Leafs' 8-6 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Monday. The speedy winger now has an eye-popping 17 points in his last eight games. Fellow winger Zach Hyman added three helpers for his second straight game with three points. Center John Tavares, who’s […]

White Sox Serious About Edwin Encarnacion

The Chicago White Sox are in serious pursuit of first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion, although nothing is likely to be completed until after the holidays. Encarnacion, 37 in January, would be Chicago's full-time designated hitter if he lands with them, while occasionally spelling Jose Abreu at first base. It'd be a good setup for the […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Out Again Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will miss his fourth straight game Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. Towns continues to nurse a knee injury and has done little on-court work over the past week. This injury seems like it will linger on, but Towns is being treated as day-to-day in the meantime. Minnesota […]

Dolphins Sign Samaje Perine

The Miami Dolphins signed running back Samaje Perine off the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on Monday, according to a source. A former starter with the Redskins, Perine will join Miami this week and will be part of the team in 2020. Rookie Myles Gaskin (ankle) will miss Week 17, so Perine could chip in alongside […]

Steelers Optimistic About Ben Roethlisberger's Recovery

The Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will recover from elbow surgery to reattach three tendons in his right arm. Big Ben isn't cleared to throw yet, but he is recovering nicely and wants and expects to play in 2020 and beyond, according to sources. Roethlisberger, who will be 38 in March, […]

Seahawks To Sign Robert Turbin, Marshawn Lynch May Be Next

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign running back Robert Turbin and are still working on a deal to add Marshawn Lynch, according to sources. Both Turbin (2012-14) and Lynch 2010-15 will be reuniting with the Seahawks after they've lost Chris Carson (hip), Rashaad Penny (knee) and C.J. Prosise (arm) in recent weeks. Turbin and […]

Carmelo Anthony Will Play Without Restriction Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (knee) will play Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Anthony left Friday's game and sat out Saturday with a knee contusion but is good to go Monday. It was also reported Anthony will not have a minutes limit, so the injury seems to be very minor. Anthony Tolliver will […]

Dante Exum Traded To Cleveland

Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Jordan Clarkson. The Cavs are also receiving two future second-round picks in the deal. Exum has not played in the past five games and had a very limited bench role with the Jazz, so this does wonders for his fantasy potential. Exum […]

Jordan Clarkson Traded To Jazz

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson has been traded to the Utah Jazz for guard Dante Exum and two future second-round picks. Clarkson was playing well offensively off the bench with Cleveland, averaging 14.6 points in 23.0 minutes per game. Clarkson will likely have a similar role off the bench in Utah, especially with Mike Conley […]

Alexander Mattison Is Inactive On Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is officially inactive for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. This news sets the stage for Mike Boone to lead the backfield and handle the majority of running back touches against a Packers Defense that ranks 25th in rush DVOA and fantasy points allowed to the position. […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Will Not Play Monday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) will not play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown is dealing with calf soreness and is being treated as day-to-day, but the Pistons will be thin in the backcourt for this one. With Brown and Luke Kennard (knee) out, Langston Galloway, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, and Derrick Rose will all […]

Jonas Valanciunas Will Start Monday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) will start Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Valanciunas missed one game with a sore foot, but will return to his normal starting role in this contest. Solomon Hill will return to the bench and lose most, if not all, of his short-term fantasy value.

Malcolm Brogdon Out, Jeremy Lamb In Monday

The Indiana Pacers will be without Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), but will see the return of Jeremy Lamb (groin) against the Toronto Raptors Monday night. Lamb will be returning after a two-game absence, but Brogdon will miss his first with a hamstring ailment. This is the second night of a back-to-back, so the Pacers could erring […]

Blake Griffin Will Try to Play on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (illness) will try to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The good news is, Griffin is over his knee and hamstring issues, but can't seem to get over the flu. It appears he'll make an effort to play, but he seems like a risky DFS option for Monday. Christian […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Sit on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He must've tweaked his groin during Sunday's game, so the Pacers might take the cautious approach here. Aaron Holiday would benefit the most if Brogdon does sit this one out. He'd be worth a look as […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers have been cautious with Embiid throughout his career, so it wouldn't be surprising to see them hold him out against Detroit. Mike Scott, Kyle O'Quinn, and Norvel Pelle would see increased roles if Embiid sits out. […]

John Collins Won't Be Restricted on Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (suspension) is available for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Collins was suspended 25 games, but fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging him back into your fantasy lineups. He won't have any restrictions for Monday's contest. Collins and Trae Young will be asked to do most of the heavy […]

Leighton Vander Esch To Undergo Procedure

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) will undergo a minimally invasive procedure on his neck in the next few weeks, and he should be cleared for the offseason program, according to sources. Vander Esch has missed the last five games with a nerve issue in his neck after suffering the injury in October. The […]

Taj Gibson Might Sit Against Wizards

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson hasn't been playing well lately and the Knicks have too many big guys. Marcus Morris (Achilles) is doubtful, so Gibson could see an uptick in minutes this game. However, Kevin Knox is looking like a decent […]

Jordan Howard To Return In Week 17

The Philadelphia Eagles will get running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) back in Week 17 against the Giants. As a result, the Eagles are releasing running back Jay Ajayi, according to a source. Howard has missed six straight games, but the Eagles will have him back in the regular season finale. If they win, they win […]
