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. Despite the poor showing, fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a low-end WR1 heading into a Week 18 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys. […]

Colton Dach Set For NHL Debut On Friday

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.

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.

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. The rookie missed another two kicks in last weekend's 27-25 win over the Green Bay Packers -- 43- and 57-yard field-goal tries that both doinked out -- to bookend his performance. Still, he hit his other […]

Torrey Craig Likely Out Saturday

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.

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.

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 […]

Jordan Addison A Strong Week 18 Play

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison should be in store for another productive outing in Sunday night's divisional clash with the Detroit Lions.

Packers D/ST A Solid Starting Unit Against Bears

Tucker Kraft Off Injury Report, A Volatile Low-End TE1 For Week 18

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft (non-injury related) put in a full practice after two limited sessions this week and he looks to end his regular season on a high note as the Packers host the Chicago Bears in Week 18. While Kraft was second on the team in receiving yards (53) in Week […]

Dontayvion Wicks Gets Low-End Flex Treatment Against Bears

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks could see an increased workload for the Packers' Week 18 contest against the Chicago Bears.

According to Nicki Jhabvala of the Washington Post, Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

Aaron Jones Good To Go, A Fringe RB1 Option In Week 18

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones (quad) is without designation for Sunday night's divisional clash with the Detroit Lions.
