Keegan Murray Sidelined Again On Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Grizzlies. He'll now be sidelined for a second-straight contest, recently missing Wednesday's win over the 76ers because of ankle soreness. Keon Ellis got the start, finishing with nine points. But he shined most on the defensive end, amassing four steals and two blocks. […]

Joshua Dobbs A QB2 In Week 18 With Rushing Upside

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Joshua Dobbs is set to make his only start of 2024 in a Week 18 matchup against the Cardinals in Arizona. The 29-year-old will fill in for starter Brock Purdy (right elbow), as he did for a few plays at the end of last week's loss before scoring a rushing touchdown. […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Upgraded to Available Friday Against The Lakers

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (lower leg) was originally listed as questionable for Friday night's matchup against the Lakers, but he was upgraded to available and is ready to return after a five-game absence due to a lower leg contusion. Bogdanovic has been limited to just 14 games this year due to injury, but when […]

Aaron Rodgers A Low-End QB2 In Week 18

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will wrap up his 2024 season with a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Rodgers struggled mightily in his last game, throwing for just 112 yards and two interceptions in a loss to the Buffalo Bills. He will attempt to finish on a high note against […]

Jalen Johnson Available To Return On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) was upgraded from questionable to available for Friday night's matchup with the Lakers. The breakout forward missed Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Nuggets but will be back in the lineup as the Hawks try to knock off the Lakers, who are on the second night of a back-to-back. Johnson […]

LeBron James Cleared To Face The Hawks

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will play on Friday versus the Hawks. The 40-year-old continues to play well, most recently amassing 38 points in Thursday's 114-106 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. He did log 36 minutes, so there's a chance he won't play as much on Friday night. With Anthony Davis (ankle) […]

Trae Young Is Available Against Los Angeles On Friday

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young will be able to play on Friday night against the Lakers despite a questionable tag coming into the night. Throughout the season, the All-Star point guard has been a regular on the injury report but he has only missed two games all year. On Wednesday in Denver, he had […]

Breece Hall An RB2 In Week 18

New York Jets running back Breece Hall will put the final touches on his 2024 season in a home matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18. Hall was quiet in his last game, posting 53 all-purpose yards on 11 touches. He will look to bounce back against a Miami run defense that is allowing […]

Eddy Pineiro Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 18

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro hasn't gotten many opportunities to kick field goals the past few weeks. Over the past four games, he has only attempted three field goals. The silver lining for Pineiro is that between Weeks 10 and 13, he made nine of his 11 field goal attempts. In Week 18, the Panthers […]

Drew Lock Can't Be Trusted In Week 18

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock will not be a recommended option in Week 18's divisional showdown with the Philadelphia Eagles. The sixth-year pro is coming off his best game, totaling a shocking five touchdowns (one rushing) and 309 passing yards in last weekend's 45-33 win over the Indianapolis Colts. It was the second time […]

Brandon Clarke Available To Play Friday Against Sacramento

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke (calf) is available to return after a two-game absence due to a calf issue as the Grizzlies visit the Kings. He missed the Grizz's last two games but has played 31 games this season, averaging 18.4 minutes per contest. He has been one of the first big men off the […]

Anthony Davis Back On Friday Night

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) will play on Friday versus the Hawks. AD wasn't available for Thursday's win over the Trail Blazers because of a sprained ankle, only his second absence of the 2024-25 campaign. But the Lakers were able to pull off the win without him. Fortunately, Davis is back and is […]

Joe Flacco A High-End QB2 In Rematch Versus Jaguars In Week 18

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Joe Flacco will draw the start on Sunday with Anthony Richardson (back) ruled out. The 39-year-old started last week for the injured Richardson, throwing for 330 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions on 26-of-38 passing. The performance resulted in two Colt receivers with 100-plus yards receiving in the same game for the […]

Zach Edey Ready To Return

Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (concussion) is ready to return from a two-game absence after being upgraded from questionable to available for Friday night's game against the Kings. Brandon Clarke (calf) was also sidelined for the last two games and will also return serving as Edey's primary backup. Edey will be back in the lineup […]

Jeff Ulbrich Expects To Interview For Full-Time Head-Coaching Job

Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said on Friday that he expects to have an opportunity next week to interview for the New York Jets' full-time head-coaching job. The Jets will bring in plenty of head-coaching candidates next week after they finish off another lost season with a Week 18 tilt against the division-rival Miami Dolphins […]

Jalen Suggs Won't Return On Friday Night

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (back) won't return to Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. The 23-year-old wasn't having the best game, scoring only six points until he went down with a non-contact injury near the end of the second quarter. He was taken off the floor in a wheelchair and eventually diagnosed with back […]

Tommy Tremble Not A Good Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble did not record a target in Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the season, Tremble only averages 1.3 receptions per game and has earned a 5.3% target share in the passing game. That type of production makes it difficult for fantasy managers to consider Tremble an option […]

Aidan O'Connell A Low-End QB2 Vs. Chargers

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell won't be a viable fantasy option this Sunday when his team hosts the visiting Los Angeles Chargers. O'Connell has been decent when he's gotten the nod this year -- piecing together a 5:1 TD:INT ratio and 266.5 yards per game on a 64% completion percentage. However, he'll have his […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders A Desperate Tight-End Play In Week 18

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders only saw one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sanders took a clear backseat to the Panthers' receivers, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette (hip, wrist). The 21-year-old became fantasy-relevant in the middle of the […]

Chargers Defense A Good Choice In Week 18

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a strong option in Week 18 fantasy lineups as they will take on the Las Vegas Raiders in the regular-season finale. The Chargers are coming off an excellent Week 17 performance in which they allowed just seven points and put up 10 fantasy points against the New England Patriots. […]

Cameron Dicker A Good Option In Week 18 Lineups

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a strong choice for Week 18 fantasy lineups when the Chargers take on the Las Vegas Raiders. Dicker has been one of the league's most consistent and reliable kickers all season and should remain that way in the regular season finale. While most of the Chargers starters are […]

Will Dissly Lacks Upside In Week 18 Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly doesn't have much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Dissly will share snaps with Stone Smartt and possibly also with Hayden Hurst in a game that could see a lot of Chargers starters getting some rest. Dissly would seemingly have the highest floor […]

Tim Patrick Not A Reliable Option In Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick has had a decent season, especially for a wideout who missed so much time due to injuries over the years. He's appeared in 15 contests during the 2024-25 campaign, totaling 31 catches for 379 yards and three touchdowns. Without question, Patrick was more productive while a member of the […]

Stone Smartt A Floor Play, At Best, In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt is a non-zero floor option without much upside in a Week 18 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Smartt and Will Dissly will likely once again split time, with Hayden Hurst possibly mixing in at the position as well. Smartt might have the most upside of the three […]

Mecole Hardman Won't Come Off Injured Reserve In Week 18

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (knee) was limited in practice all week but has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Denver Broncos. The Chiefs opened Hardman's 21-day window to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, but they will wait to officially activate him. The Chiefs […]

David Moore Not A Strong Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore was limited to one catch for 17 yards in the Panthers' Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore has been inconsistent during the season, putting up less than five fantasy points twelve times while scoring more than 10 only two times. Throughout the season, he earned a […]

Caleb Williams Not Recommended In Difficult Matchup

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams won't be a viable fantasy option in Week 18's divisional clash against the Green Bay Packers on the road. The rookie put together his worst performance since Week 10 in last weekend's loss to the Seahawks. Williams tossed his first interception in ten outings and broke a streak of five […]

Sam LaPorta Looking For Another Touchdown On Sunday Night

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta played better as a rookie. But after a rough start to the 2024-25 campaign, the 23-year-old has finally put together a decent season, totaling 53 catches for 663 yards and seven touchdowns. He's also found the end zone in each of his previous two contests. With the Minnesota Vikings […]

Chris Jones Doubtful To Play Against Broncos

The Kansas City Chiefs will be resting most of their key players on both sides of the ball for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday in Denver against the division-rival Broncos. The Chiefs have listed defensive lineman Chris Jones (calf), cornerback Trent McDuffie (knee), linebacker Nick Bolton, defensive end George Karlaftis, safety Justin Reid […]

Kalif Raymond Questionable For Sunday Night Showdown

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday night in a huge divisional clash against the Minnesota Vikings in the Week 18 regular-season finale. Raymond is currently still on Injured Reserve, so the Lions would need to activate him by the deadline on Saturday in order to have […]
