Gordon Hayward Won't Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's dealing with left foot soreness, but is reportedly making progress. Hayward had a good workout on Sunday and is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, and […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's not surprising to see Leonard sit out the second game of the back-to-back set. Paul George will be asked to carry the load on offense. Lou Williams, Landry Shamet, and possibly Rodney McGruder could see […]

Luka Doncic Might Be Able to Play Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) reportedly looked good during his pregame workout on Sunday. The Mavs are hopeful that Doncic will be able to get some work in during Tuesday's practice. There's hope that Doncic can play against the Spurs on Thursday. The Mavs aren't going to rush their star player back to the […]

Chris Boswell Connects On Both Kicks In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled a 49-yard field goal along with an extra point in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets. The field goal make gives him 30 on the year after completing just 20 in 2018, so Boswell is enjoying a nice bounce-back campaign. One could only imagine how much better his year […]

Eric Paschall is Questionable for Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He tweaked his knee on Friday, but was able to fully practice on Sunday. The MRI on his right knee came back clean, so Paschall should be fine for Monday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to […]

The Steelers Defense Can't Do It All Against Jets

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense held the Jets to just 16 points, while piling up two sacks and a forced fumble in Week 16. TJ Watt continued his breakout season with a strip sack in the second quarter, which led to the Steelers only touchdown before the break. While the defense did their part in slowing […]

Vance McDonald Registers Just Nine Yards Against Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald hauled in three of his six targets for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. The 29-year-old clearly wasn't able to make anything happen with the looks he did receive. After sitting out Week 15 against the Bills, McDonald was hoping to return to greener pastures, […]

James Washington Catches Five Passes In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught five of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jets. The second-year receiver got shaken up earlier in the game but was able to return, and while he didn't score, he doubled the number of looks that JuJu Smith-Schuster received. Washington and Diontae Johnson have […]

Diontae Johnson Posts Career Day Against Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught eight of his nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets. The rookie hauled in the team's only touchdown just before the end of the first half and continued getting looks, regardless if Devlin Hodges or Mason Rudolph was throwing to […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Quiet In Return

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught half of his four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets. Smith-Schuster dropped his first target, while also having a pass go right through his hands on the team's last play. It was a disappointing effort when the team needed him the most; however, […]

Mason Rudolph Injured Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (shoulder) suffered a left shoulder injury in Week 16 against the Jets and is questionable to return. Rudolph replaced struggling quarterback Devlin Hodges early in the game and managed to go 14-for-20 for 129 yards and a touchdown before suffering his injury. The Steelers also lost running back James Conner […]

Mark Ingram Questionable To Return With Calf Injury

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) injured his calf in Week 16 against the Browns and is questionable to return. This could be a serious injury, and if it is, it's bad news for an explosive offense entering the postseason. The good news is that Baltimore will have a first-round bye and can rest […]

Blue Jays Weighing David Price Trade

The Toronto Blue Jays are exploring all avenues to improve their starting rotation, and a trade for Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price could be in play, according to major league sources. The 34-year-old left-hander spent three months with the Blue Jays in 2015. Toronto has also made an offer to left-handed starter Hyun-Jin […]

Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor Out Against Dallas

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) are both officially inactive for Week 16 against the Cowboys. This comes as no surprise. Howard has missed the last six games and Agholor will miss his third straight contest. If the Eagles lose this battle for the NFC East title, expect […]

Christian Kirk Active Against Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) is officially active for Week 16 against the Seahawks. Kirk was expected to play coming into this one. The second-year wideout hasn't really done much other than a three-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers, but he's still the most attractive Arizona receiver as a boom-or-bust WR3. Veteran Larry Fitzgerald […]

Noah Fant Active In Week 16

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (illness, shoulder) is officially active for Week 16 against the Lions. Fant was never really in danger of missing this game after playing through the injury last week. The matchup is a really good one and rookie quarterback Drew Lock gives Fant more upside as a TE2, but […]

Bo Scarbrough Active Against Broncos

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is active for Week 16 against the Broncos. Scarbrough is returning after a one-week absence, but he won't be fantasy relevant for the fantasy finals with Kerryon Johnson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve. Johnson could have his snaps limited after a two-month absence, but his presence alone in […]

Dwayne Haskins Injures Ankle In Week 16

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) left the Week 16 game against the Giants with a left ankle injury and is questionable to return. Case Keenum has replaced the rookie signal-caller in the third quarter. Haskins was walking the sideline under his own power with a slight limp but was later carted off for […]

Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith Injured Sunday

Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks Marcus Peters (chest) and Jimmy Smith (cramps) were both injured in Week 16 against the Browns. Peters is questionable to return after dealing a hard hit to running back Dontrell Hilliard. Peters has been an excellent midseason acquisition to the Rams, as his arrival coincided with Baltimore's resurgence overall as a defense. […]

White Sox Talking With Edwin Encarnacion

The Chicago White Sox had talks with first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion at the winter meetings and since. Encarnacion will turn 37 next month, but he still managed to hit .244/.344/.531 with 34 home runs and 86 RBI in 418 at-bats with the Mariners and Yankees. Staying in New York would be ideal for his […]

Blue Jays Make Offers To Hyun-Jin Ryu, Edwin Encarnacion

The Toronto Blue Jays have made competitive offers to starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu and first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion. The Jays are still looking to upgrade their rotation after adding Tanner Roark. Ryu has been flying under the radar despite going 14-5 with a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 163 strikeouts in 182 2/3 innings […]

Blue Jays Sign Travis Shaw

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with infielder Travis Shaw on Sunday, according to a source. The deal includes $675,000 in performance bonuses. Shaw hit 30-plus homers in 2017 and 2018 with the Brewers, but he tanked in 2019 and was demoted to Triple-A San Antonio in 2019, hitting .157 […]

D.J. Moore Won't Return In Week 16

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) will not return to the Week 16 game against the Colts after suffering a concussion. Moore caught one of two targets for a measly one yard before his head injury, so he'll wind up being a Week 16 fantasy bust at the worst time. […]

James Conner Injured In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (thigh) is questionable to return in Week 16 against the Jets with a thigh injury. It's not a huge surprise, as Conner has been a disappointment to fantasy owners this year because of injuries. Conner ran the ball six times for 32 yards before departing, and he wasn't targeted […]

Mason Rudolph Takes Over For Devlin Hodges

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has replaced Devlin Hodges under center in Week 16 against the Jets. Hodges came into this one on a short leash after throwing four interceptions in the Week 15 loss to the Bills, and he was yanked against New York after going 7-for-9 for 53 yards and two more picks. […]

D.J. Moore Suffers Head Injury Against Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) suffered a head injury in Week 16 against the Colts and is being evaluated for a concussion. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return in this game, but it would obviously be a huge loss for fantasy owners on championship weekend. Moore caught one […]

Doug Marrone, Dave Caldwell Have Chance To Stick Around

There is a "good chance" that both Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell return in 2020 following the firing of executive vice president Tom Coughlin, according to sources. Heading into Week 16, Jacksonville sits in last place in the AFC South with a 5-9 record. Free-agent signing Nick Foles broke […]

Browns Not Planning To Trade Odell Beckham Jr.

The Cleveland Browns have reportedly told wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. that they have no plans to trade him this offseason despite his frustrating first year with the team. Beckham also said himself earlier in the week that he has no plans of going anywhere for the 2020 season and beyond. OBJ hasn't performed up […]

Akiem Hicks Won't Play Sunday Night

Chicago Bears defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (elbow) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Chiefs on Sunday night. Hicks was activated from Injured Reserve before Week 15, and he played 36 of 59 snaps against the Packers. Hicks' absence is a notable loss for a strong Chicago defensive front, and his absence will […]
