Commanders Defense Entering Streaming Territory Against Dallas

The Washington Commanders defense is worth a look as a low-end streaming option when they face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 18.

In this game, they scored just seven points, and quarterback Cooper Rush threw two interceptions and […]

Justin Faulk Iffy For Friday's Action

St. Louis Blues defenseman Justin Faulk (upper body) is a game-time decision for Friday's tilt against Ottawa. He re-aggravated an upper-body injury in Tuesday's Winter Classic against Chicago and didn't practice on Thursday. Per Lou Korac of The Hockey News, Faulk was back on the ice for Friday's optional morning skate. This suggests that he […]

Zane Gonzalez Viewed As Risky Streaming Option In Week 18

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez remains a risky streaming option heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Gonzalez has been filling in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin). Across five games this season, Gonzalez has gone 4-for-6 on attempts and a perfect 17-for-17 on extra points. Last weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, […]

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz is coming off the best performance of his season and will look to stay hot against a struggling Dallas defense.

Olamide Zaccheaus Viewed As High-End WR3 In Week 18

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus carries solid WR3 upside in a Week 18 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. With Noah Brown (kidney) and Dyami Brown (hamstring) sidelined over the past two weeks, Zaccheaus has emerged as the new No.2 option in the Washington passing attack. Over the past two weeks, the 27-year-old has seen […]

RJ Barrett Will Miss Another Game On Friday

According to Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca, Toronto Raptors forward RJ Barrett (illness)  won't play on Friday against the Orlando Magic.

The 24-year-old is having an excellent season with 23.4 points and 6.8 […]

Vikings D/ST A Risky Play Vs. Detroit

The Minnesota Vikings have an exciting meeting with the Detroit Lions on tap for Sunday Night Football in Week 18.

The Vikings have intercepted at least one pass in […]

Terry McLaurin Looks To Bounce Back In Week 18

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin had a disappointing showing last weekend as he brought in just one of his seven targets during their playoff-clinching victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Chicago Blackhawks forward Colton Dach will make his NHL debut on Friday against Montreal. This will be a special matchup for the 21-year-old for many reasons, as he will play against his older brother Kirby. Chicago recalled Dach from the minors earlier in the week after seeing him record 25 points (12 goals, 13 assists) […]

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Not A Viable Play In Week 18

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. remains a desperation play heading into a Week 18 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Last weekend, Rodriguez found the back of the end zone and added 16 yards on five attempts. For the second straight week, Rodriguez saw more rushing attempts than the presumed No.2 option, Jeremy McNichols. […]

Tua Tagovailoa Doubtful For Week 18

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is listed as doubtful to play in Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Jets in New York.

Brian Robinson Jr. A Mid-Level RB2 Facing Dallas

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. should be viewed as a mid-level RB2 facing the Dallas Cowboys. The Alabama product has found himself in a bit of a slump as of late. Over his past three contests, he has averaged just 8.9 PPR points per game and has not found the back of the […]

Jayden Daniels Remains High-End QB1 In Week 18

Last weekend, Daniels threw three touchdown passes and tallied over 350 all-purpose en route to leading the Commanders to their first playoff birth since the 2020 season. Over his past […]

Will Reichard A Top Option In Week 18

Minnesota Vikings placekicker Will Reichard is an excellent play this Sunday in a divisional bout with the Detroit Lions.

Still, he hit his other […]

Connor Murphy Misses First Game Of The Season

Torrey Craig Likely Out Saturday

Chicago Bulls forward Torrey Craig (leg) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the New York Knicks after missing practice Friday. If Craig cannot suit up, he will miss his second consecutive contest due to a lower right leg contusion.

T.J. Hockenson A TE1 Despite Stiff Divisional Test

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson will get a tough matchup this Sunday night in a road tilt with the Detroit Lions. Hockenson had a nice total his last time out in a win against the Green Bay Packers, but he'll have a less vulnerable outing in store against a Lions defense that's limited TEs […]

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (ribs, wrist) has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals.

David Savard A Game-Time Call Friday

Montreal Canadiens defenseman David Savard (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Friday's meeting with Chicago. The veteran is in danger of missing his third game of the season.

Brock Purdy Officially Ruled Out In Week 18

Jalen Nailor A Fringe Flex Option Vs. Lions

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor gets an exploitable spot in his team's meeting with the division-rival Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football. The Michigan State product put together his best performance of the season in last weekend's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers – racking up 81 yards and a touchdown on 5-of-5 […]

George Kittle Questionable For Week 18

According to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Romeo Doubs With Flex Appeal In Week 18 Against Bears

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs looks to keep up the momentum following a voluminous Week 17 to the Packers' Week 18 contest with the Chicago Bears. Doubs led the Packers with 11 targets in Week 17's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and brought in seven of those targets for 58 yards. Over the […]
