Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Week 17 Updates For Jalen Hurts, Isaac Guerendo, J.K. Dobbins, Davante Adams, Tyreek Hill

Championship week in most fantasy leagues brings about quite a few tricky lineup decisions for managers who are still playing meaningful games. Week 17 features games on five different days of the week, and injuries to would-be fantasy starters like Isaac Guerendo, Jalen Hurts, Jaylen Waddle, and Davante Adams, among others, only further complicate setting lineups. […]

Will Trey Benson Play Tonight? Fantasy Football Injury Update For 'Saturday Night Football'

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Trey Benson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional game against the Los Angeles Rams. Benson was able to log three limited sessions this week but carries a questionable tag and is in danger of missing his second-straight contest. Will Benson play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week […]

Week 17 FanDuel NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2024): Jayden Daniels, Brock Bowers, Bucky Irving, Brian Thomas Jr.

With three games already in the books, three more contests will be played on Saturday in Week 17. As is the norm at this point of the season, more than a few players won’t be available for one reason or another. However, their absences will at least provide some valuable opportunities for DFS participants.   […]

New Orleans D/ST Has Potential In Week 17

The New Orleans D/ST has offered little fantasy value for the majority of the season. The unit had a decent start to 2024, averaging 11 fantasy points per game over the first three weeks of the season but then didn't have another double-digit effort until Week 14 against the New York Giants. Another weak opponent […]

Blake Grupe A Risky Bet In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was blanked in Week 16. It wasn't that he missed any kicks, it was the fact that the offense was never in a position to get him on the field in a 34-0 shellacking at the hands of the Green Bay Packers. When Grupe last saw scoring opportunities, in […]

Juwan Johnson Off Injury Report For Week 17

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) carries no designation heading into the team's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Johnson was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and listed as such in Wednesday's estimated report. He was able to participate in full on Friday. Quarterback Derek Carr (hand) will miss another week […]

Foster Moreau Not Startable In Week 17

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau tied for the team lead in receptions in Week 16. That he did so with all of two catches should say something about how the offense fared last week. Moreau also led the team outright in receiving yards with 33, giving him roughly one-third of quarterback Spencer Rattler's […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Questionable For Week 17

The New Orleans Saints have listed wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest) as questionable for their Week 17 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders. If he misses the game then the Saints' motley crew of other receivers including Kevin Austin Jr., Dante Pettis, and tight ends Juwan Johnson and Foster Moreau are among the contenders to […]

Jordan Mims Unlikely To Make Impact In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Jordan Mims was the team's unexpected leader in targets in Week 16, seeing eight passes come his way. That translated to merely 16 yards on five catches as rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler could do little but check down to the backup to spot starter Kendre Miller. Alvin Kamara (groin) is […]

Kendre Miller Expected To Draw Another Start

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller was the odds-on favorite to assume the role as the team's featured back after Alvin Kamara (groin) was declared out before Week 16. Unfortunately for Miller, that game turned into a blowout early on and the coaching staff pivoted to a two-minute offense that involved a surprisingly heavy […]

Spencer Rattler Starting Against Raiders

With Derek Carr (hand) out another week, rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler has been named the starter by the New Orleans Saints for their Week 17 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders. In five starts this season, Rattler has two touchdowns to three interceptions and has averaged 171.8 passing yards per game. He has also lost […]

Cam Little Not Good Enough For Fantasy Championships In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little should not be heavily considered by managers in fantasy championships in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie kicker has had a solid season, but his fantasy output has been greatly limited by the Jaguars offense. When the Jaguars faced the Titans back in Week 14, they only scored […]

Jaguars D/ST A Mid-Tier Streaming Option Against Titans

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit is a decent streaming option in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. Last time they faced the Titans in Week 14, they only gave up 6 points and got two sacks. The Titans offense has been one of the friendliest to fantasy defenses this season, so the Jaguars D/ST […]

Parker Washington Lacking Upside In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington does not get the targets or have the big-play ability to be considered a reliable fantasy option in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The young receiver flashed back in Week 13 against the Houston Texans with a six catch, 103 yard, and a touchdown performance. Other than that, […]

Tank Bigsby A Touchdown-Dependent Flex In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby has decent potential as a flex option, but is a bit touchdown reliant in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The second-year back out of Auburn has had an up-and-down season, having some big games and some letdown games. The main road block he has faced, besides small injuries, […]

Travis Etienne Jr. A Flex, At Best, Against Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a decent start, but not ideal in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The 25-year-old back gets a slight boost in PPR, as his role while playing with Tank Bigsby seems to be the passing down back along with a random number of carries. Given how the […]

Brian Thomas Jr. Lone Bright Spot For Jags In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a must-start in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie receiver has been sensational as of late, not caring how difficult his opponent is or who is throwing him the ball. Against the Titans in Week 14, BTJ put up eight catches for 86 yards. He […]

Mac Jones Too Inconsistent To Start In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones is not a great start in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. The former Patriot had a solid outing last week against the Raiders, but he struggled mightily the last time he faced the Titans in Week 14. He threw two interceptions and no touchdowns, leading the team to just […]

Aidan O'Connell Not A Good Choice For Fantasy Lineups In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell led his team to their third win of the 2024-25 campaign by defeating the Jaguars in Week 16. However, it still wasn't the best fantasy showing, with the 26-year-old throwing for 257 yards while not finding any of his receivers in the end zone. With the Saints on tap […]

Daniel Bellinger Still Not Worth Starting Versus The Colts

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger hasn't had a great year. He's appeared in 15 games, catching only 12 passes for 116 yards. The 24-year-old also hasn't found the end zone since his rookie campaign. With Malik Nabers (toe) questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, there's a good could be a few extra […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Could See More Action In Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has already had the best season of his career. He's appeared in 15 games, catching 78 passes for 585 yards and two touchdowns. While the wideout has improved, he still hasn't been a productive fantasy option. However, with Malik Nabers (toe) questionable, Robinson may be in line for […]

Darius Slayton May Be Worth Starting In Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has had a down year. In 14 appearances, he has 38 catches for 541 yards and one touchdown. However, with Malik Nabers (toe) questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Colts, there's a good chance Slayton could get more involved. Nabers missed two games this season back in October. […]

Devin Singletary Not A Safe Bet Versus The Colts

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary began the year as the team's No. 1 option out of the backfield. However, as the season progressed, he found himself behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. (ankle). With Tracy moving in the right direction, at least it seems, for Sunday's matchup with the Colts, there may not be enough […]

Tim Patrick Not An Ideal Fantasy Option In Week 17

Detroit Lions wide receiver Tim Patrick spent his entire career in Denver before injuries led him to his current team. While he was more productive with the Broncos, he has still played better than expected with the Lions. The 31-year-old has appeared in 14 games during the 2024-25 campaign, totaling 31 catches for 379 yards. […]

Alec Pierce Cleared To Play, Still A Boom/Bust WR Option In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) has been cleared to play in Week 17 against the Giants. While the matchup is favorable versus a New York squad that currently has the No. 1 pick in next year's draft, Pierce doesn't typically garner enough attention to warrant starting in season-long fantasy. The 24-year-old has caught […]

Tyler Allgeier Could See 10-Plus Carries But Is Only A Low-End Flex Play

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered double-digit carries in back-to-back weeks for the first time all season after last week's 11-carry performance. Unfortunately for fantasy, the 11 carries came with just 22 scoreless yards of production, although he did manage to snag one pass for nine yards. With Michael Penix Jr. making only his […]

Brenton Strange Cleared For Week 17, A Risky Start In Rematch With Titans

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation against the Tennessee Titans for Week 17. Strange was limited earlier in the week with a shoulder injury, but is all systems go after logging a full practice on Friday. He is tough to trust in fantasy championship lineups in Week 17. The […]
