New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Friday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Available Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) is good to go for Friday's matchup against the league-leading Cavaliers. He's been inactive only twice all season despite being a mainstay on the injury report with a knee problem. Antetokounmpo is coming off a triple-double performance as he led the Bucks to the NBA Cup win on Tuesday […]

Vikings D/ST Primed For Another Strong Week

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is yet again a top option among defensive units in Week 16's road meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The Vikings' defense has been a lock-down unit all season and gets another vulnerable matchup this Sunday in a Seahawks team letting up the sixth-most points per game to fantasy D/STs (10.9). […]

David Montgomery Yet To Go On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions are still deciding on whether to place running back David Montgomery (knee) on Injured Reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games.

Will Reichard In A Tough Spot Vs. Seattle

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a fringe top option in Week 16 when his team lines up against the Seattle Seahawks on the road.

T.J. Hockenson A Solid Week 16 Option

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson gets an exploitable matchup this Sunday in a meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. The 27-year-old has been fine – albeit unspectacular – over the last few weeks as he rounds into form. Hockenson has had a few nice performances but has mostly been a third option in the Vikes' […]

Mason Marchment A Game-Time Decision Versus Rangers

Dallas Stars left wing Mason Marchment (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision on Friday versus the Rangers. He made an early exit from Wednesday's contest against Toronto, but Marchment has escaped serious injury, as X-rays on his ailment have come back negative. Marchment provides both grit and skill for the Stars, having produced 27 points […]

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (hip) and wide receiver Ashton Dulin (ankle) are both considered questionable to play on Sunday in Week 16 against the division-rival Tennessee Titans.

Elijah Moore Not A Strong Fantasy Option In Week 16

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore struggled in a Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing one yard on two catches. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. The Bengals have been a good matchup for receivers in fantasy this season as they are […]

Buccaneers D/ST A Playable Option In Week 16

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has offered fantasy managers fairly decent value over the last month or so. The expectation was that this unit would struggle last week, but they held the Los Angeles Chargers offense to 17 points. They also sacked quarterback Justin Herbert three times while recovering a fumble and snagging an interception […]

Sam Bennett In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Florida Panthers center Sam Bennett (illness) might be absent for a second consecutive game on Friday versus St. Louis.

Chase McLaughlin On Streaming Radar For Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin turned in a great performance for fantasy managers during last week's game.

The expectation […]

Jerry Jeudy Tough To Trust With New QB Under Center

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been a second-half MVP in fantasy leagues. He caught 11 passes for 108 yards in his most recent game, a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Jeudy and the Browns now draw an excellent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in Week 16. […]

Cam Akers To Be Safely Avoided For Fantasy Semi-Finals

Minnesota Vikings running back Cam Akers remains strictly a handcuff option for this Sunday's road clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Akers scored a touchdown on ten carries (his most in a game since Week 11), rushing for 24 yards in last weekend's 30-12 rout of the Bears. Still, he picked up most of his work […]

Payne Durham Avoidable For Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could have an expanded role during the Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The 24-year-old hasn't done much this season, but he could be asked to start this weekend with fellow tight end Cade Otton (knee) listed as doubtful for Sunday. Durham has hauled in both his […]

Paris Johnson Jr. Out For Cardinals In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals left tackle Paris Johnson Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for the team's Week 16 contest this Sunday at the Carolina Panthers, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup with Miami. On Thursday versus OKC, Suggs posted nine points, five boards, two blocks, and one steal. But he only lasted 17 minutes before head coach Jamahl Mosley yanked him from the game due to a sprained ankle. Luckily for fantasy managers and the […]

Jerome Ford An RB2 In Week 16

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford found the end zone on a 62-yard rush in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. He will take over as the Browns' starting running back after Nick Chubb (foot) was lost for the remainder of the season with a broken foot. Ford will take on […]

Philip Broberg A Game-Time Call Friday

St. Louis Blues defenseman Philip Broberg (illness) is a game-time decision on Friday versus Florida. He missed Thursday's 3-1 loss to Tampa Bay because of an illness.

Nick Bosa Considered Questionable For Week 16

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa (hip, oblique), linebacker Dre Greenlaw (Achilles, knee) and defensive end Robert Beal (ankle) are all questionable for Week 16 in Miami against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Sterling Shepard Has Shaky Flex Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) has been cleared ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Shepard didn't practice on Wednesday and got in two limited sessions after that, but apparently that was enough to clear Shepard for this weekend. The veteran wideout posted a dud last week. Shepard hauled […]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Not A Recommended Fantasy Option In Week 16

Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson will make his first start of the season when he heads on the road to take on the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16. Thompson-Robinson will take over as the Browns' starting quarterback after they benched Jameis Winston late in a Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The Bengals […]

Jordan Addison A High-End WR3 Vs. Seattle

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison will square off against the Seattle Seahawks in a road matchup this Sunday. The 22-year-old will look to continue a stretch of strong performances against a beatable Seahawks defense. Since Week 11, the second-year wideout is the WR5 in PPR formats – racking up 30 receptions, 473 yards, and […]
