Fantasy managers who rode Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen throughout the season and into the playoffs were certainly disappointed by their production in Week 16.

Wide Receiver (WR) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

Tight End (TE) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

Many fantasy managers found themselves at a positional disadvantage in their fantasy semi-final matchups if they had Travis Kelce, Trey McBride, Dalton Kincaid, or T.J. Hockenson in their starting lineups. I am here to ensure we avoid putting ourselves at a disadvantage, once again, when it matters the most: the Fantasy Championship. Back in August, […]

Running Back (RB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

We made ourselves a fantasy roster. One that was as perfect as could be. We thought it would be easy, at least that is what some told me. Throughout the season, many things have changed, and our once-perfect roster has now seen plenty of players exchanged.  The 2025 season has been a challenge, with the running […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 17? C.J. Stroud, Joe Mixon, Dalton Schultz

The Houston Texans will take on the Baltimore Ravens in what is the final game of the fantasy football playoffs for most leagues. Of course, the championship is the most important game, and a handful of Texans players are commonly rostered by fantasy managers this year. Quarterback C.J. Stroud, running back Joe Mixon, and tight […]

Quarterback (QB) Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17 (2024)

Week 16 saw some pretty good quarterback play as fantasy managers looked to punch a ticket to the fantasy championship. Heading into Sunday Night Football, 15 quarterbacks have already produced 21 or more fantasy points. Unfortunately, Jalen Hurts, Matthew Stafford, Aaron Rodgers, and Tua Tagovailoa finished with fewer than 15 fantasy points on the day. […]

Week 17 IDP Rankings for Fantasy Football (2024) - Defense Positional Rankings for LB, DL, DB

This past weekend, we saw a rare vulnerability from an NFL player. On a deep pass, Tank Dell brought in a touchdown in the back of the endzone. As he went down, a teammate fresh off the practice squad collided with Dell's knee. The impact was instantaneous. Without dropping the pass, Dell went down and […]

Player health must be a priority. The fact that the NFL and fans understand this is a good thing. We have seen the NFL’s violent nature ruin too many lives already. As a result, the league should do everything it can to avoid what happened to players like Junior Seau. With that said, how the […]

Foster Moreau Leads Saints In Receiving Yards

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau was the team's unlikely leader in receiving yards in their game against the Green Bay Packers on Monday night. If that isn't a strong enough indicator of how the Saints' offense fared, the fact that he needed just 33 yards to lead the team should make it a […]

Jordan Mims Has Busy Night In Blowout

New Orleans Saints running back Jordan Mims was the unexpected leader in targets and receptions in Monday's 35-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Mims caught five of his eight targets but finished with a meager 16 receiving yards. Mims also had four carries for 16 rushing yards, second only to the 28 yards that […]

Kendre Miller Has Disappointing Night In Blowout Loss

Those hoping that New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller would be the late-season add that would propel fantasy teams to the championship round of the fantasy playoffs were sorely disappointed on Monday night. Miller handled eight carriers and gained just 15 rushing yards in the 35-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He also […]

Spencer Rattler Commits Two Turnovers In MNF Loss

New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler went 15-for-30 for 153 passing yards and added 28 yards on five rushes in Monday's 34-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Rattler also threw an interception and lost a fumble in the defeat, which had the dubious distinction of being the NFL's first shutout of the 2024 season. […]

Roschon Johnson Off Fantasy Radar For Week 17

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson should be avoided in all fantasy leagues ahead of Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. While Johnson did vulture numerous touchdowns from D'Andre Swift earlier in the year, that hasn't happened as much lately due to his reduced snap counts, as well as the fact that he missed […]

Cole Kmet Not A Reliable Option As Fantasy Playoffs Continue

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has failed to prove himself as a dependable option within the team's offense. As a result, he ranks outside the top 18 tight ends and should be benched in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks. Although Kmet did catch a touchdown last week, he […]

Rome Odunze Dependent On Volume As Fantasy Playoffs Continue

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze remains a volume-dependent fantasy option heading into Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Odunze has commanded solid target shares lately, but he has caught more than four passes in just two of his last seven games. Furthermore, he has just three touchdowns through 15 games this season, losing […]

DJ Moore Remains Must-Start Fantasy Receiver For Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore continues to impress with his large target share, and he should remain a must-start fantasy option heading into Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks. Moore has been one of Caleb Williams' favorite targets, averaging 7.2 catches per game over the last six weeks. He has scored double-digit fantasy […]

Steelers D/ST Will Be Challenged By Chiefs On Christmas

The Pittsburgh Steelers have struggled defensively over the past two weeks and will face yet another challenge in a showdown with the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day. While Kansas City hasn't been quite as dominant on offense this season, it is still averaging nearly 24 points and the 13th-most yards per contest in the […]

Keenan Allen A Major Scoring Threat In Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen has been a touchdown machine lately, and he has a good chance to return to the end zone during Thursday night's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Allen has five touchdowns over his last five games, ranking as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues during that span. He has just […]

Romeo Doubs Quiet In Week 16 With 20 Yards Receiving

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs was a background player in the Packers' 34-0 rout over the New Orleans Saints in Week 16. After coming off a two-touchdown game against the Seattle Seahawks in his return from two games missed while on concussion protocol, Doubs blended into the background as the run game was […]

Chris Boswell Faces Tough Matchup Against Kansas City

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is the top fantasy scorer at his position this season and will look to finish the fantasy campaign on a high note against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 17. Pittsburgh's top wide receiver, George Pickens (hamstring), is expected to return from a three-week absence on Wednesday, which should only […]

D'Andre Swift Looks To Bounce Back After Poor Showing

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift has not been a dependable fantasy option lately, struggling to rack up points as he deals with reduced volume, efficiency, and scoring opportunities. The veteran running back mustered just 22 rushing yards on nine carries against the Detroit Lions last week, and he hasn't finished with double-digit fantasy points […]
