A.J. Brown Removed From Injury Report, A Volatile WR1 Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) will aim to build on his recent performance when the Eagles host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.

Kenny Pickett Set To Start In Relief Of Jalen Hurts

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett (ribs) will start in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys as Jalen Hurts remains in concussion protocol.

Saquon Barkley Remains Strong RB1 Option In Week 17

Tyler Huntley Not A Starting Option Even If Tua Tagovailoa Is Sidelined For Week 17

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tyler Huntley has a minimal chance of playing in Week 17 with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Cleveland Browns.

He finishes the year with 1,195 rushing […]

Dolphins D/ST A Solid Streaming Option Vs. Browns

Alexander Mattison Maintains Pass-Catching Upside In Lead Role

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison remains on the fantasy radar given his ability to catch passes and score touchdowns. The 26-year-old had previously been benched in favor of Sincere McCormick, but after McCormick landed on injured reserve with an ankle injury, Mattison returned to his starting job last Sunday. The 26-year-old mustered just […]

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin has gotten involved on the ground in recent weeks, carrying the ball three times in last week's win over Tampa Bay.
