Ravens Defense A Risky Option Again In Week 16

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams finally enjoyed a solid week against the New York Giants in Week 15. They registered three sacks and an interception while only giving up 14 points, which is their best fantasy performance since Week 9 against the Denver Broncos. The last time the Ravens played the Steelers, they were able […]

Jalen Suggs Suffers Ankle Injury On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) exited Thursday's game against OKC. He did not return. Suggs had nine points, five boards, two blocks, and one steal. But he only lasted 17 minutes before getting pulled from the game by head coach Jamahl Mosley due to a sprained ankle. He'll likely undergo further testing. However, with […]

Justin Tucker Not A Great Start In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker hasn't finished in the top 12 since Week 9 when he came in as the K4 on the week. In fact, he has more finishes outside of the top 12 than he does inside. During Week 15's blowout win, Tucker made five extra points, and that was the extent of […]

Mark Andrews Still A TE1 Consideration In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is the TE6 overall and TE8 in terms of fantasy points per game this season. He's tied for the most amount of touchdowns for the position with George Kittle and there's a chance that the receiving corps is thin with Rashod Bateman (foot) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) both questionable. […]

Zay Flowers Holds WR2 Potential Against Steelers In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has posted some disappointing fantasy outings over his last few games. In half-PPR formats, he hasn't scored more than nine points in any of his last three matchups. He did, however, finish as a WR2 in their last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers when he found the end zone […]

Derrick Henry Gets Another Tough Task In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry hasn't found the end zone in the last three consecutive games and posted his worst performance of the season against the New York Giants. Despite the Giants being ranked 26th against the run in fantasy, Henry took a backseat to the passing game which produced five touchdowns. In Week […]

Cedric Tillman Limited Again

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Tillman has a chance at returning to the field this weekend for the first time since Week 12. However, Tillman is likely going to need to get through a full practice session on Friday in […]

Brenton Strange Remains Limited On Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this considering Strange looked fine during his 11-catch performance last week. This could be the Jags just limiting Strange to keep him fresh for the Week 16 matchup against the […]

Aidan O'Connell Gets Through Another Full Practice

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. O'Connell has now made it through back-to-back full practice sessions without a setback, which is great news ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Another full session on Friday should get O'Connell cleared to play for this […]

Noah Fant Practices In Full On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. This is good news after Fant was a limited participant to open the week. Possibly, the Seahawks were just being cautious with the veteran tight end to begin the week. Another full practice session should get Fant cleared ahead of […]

LeBron James Active On Thursday Night

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) will play against the Kings. The nagging foot injury continues to bother the multi-time All-Star, although he had some time off over the last few weeks, which has helped. As usual, he's a must-start. However, his presence will likely mean Dalton Knecht, who has averaged 14.3 points in […]

DK Metcalf Returns To Full Practice On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. Metcalf sat out of practice on Wednesday, but that was likely just a rest day for the superstar wideout. That being said, Metcalf appears to be extremely likely to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. […]

Zach Charbonnet Limited On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (oblique) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is positive news after Charbonnet sat out of practice to begin the week. The 23-year-old picked up an oblique injury during last week's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Charbonnet has started each of the last two games, but […]

Khris Middleton Expected Back Against Cleveland

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (illness) is expected to play in Friday's game against the Cavaliers. The Bucks defeated OKC on Tuesday to win the NBA Cup. However, Middleton wasn't out there for that one because of an illness. As expected, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard (calf) handled most of the work on the […]

Joel Embiid Questionable For Friday Night

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (face) is questionable for Friday's game against Charlotte. Nick Nurse recently indicated that Embiid's sinus fracture isn't as bad as his previous two. However, he may need another game or two before he's ready to get back on the floor. The 30-year-old was starting to look like himself before going […]

Roansy Contreras Claimed By Cincinnati

According to the Texas Rangers PR, right-handed pitcher Roansy Contreras has been claimed by the Cincinnati Reds. The Rangers designated Contreras for assignment earlier this offseason after acquiring him in late October. The 25-year-old spent the 2024 campaign with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Los Angeles Angels. Across 68 1/3 innings, the right-hander held a […]

Lamar Jackson Gets Another Shot Against Steelers In Week 16

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is fresh off of a humongous performance against the New York Giants in Week 15 where he threw five touchdowns. In Week 16, however, the Pittsburgh Steelers present a bigger challenge. The only week that Jackson finished outside QB1 territory this season was against the Steelers in Week 11. He […]

Josh Hart Won't Suit Up Versus Minnesota

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (personal) won't play on Thursday night versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The former Villanova Wildcat has had a stellar year, averaging 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he'll miss his first game of the 2024-25 campaign due to personal reasons. Without question, the void left by […]

Cristian Pache Agrees With Arizona

According to Steve Gilbert of MLB.com, the Arizona Diamondbacks have signed outfielder Cristian Pache to a non-roster invite. Pache spent the 2024 campaign playing in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Miami. Across 88 games, Pache posted a .200/.273/.279 slash line with eight doubles, one home run, and one stolen base. Across 48 games in 2023, he held […]

Joe Mixon Still Start-Worthy Against Chiefs

Now that Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is officially off the Week 16 injury report, fantasy managers can comfortably pencil him in as an RB2 option against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran back has had a nice first year as a Texan, but faces a Chiefs defense that ranks first in the […]

Roki Sasaki Meets With Mets On Thursday

According to Andy Martino of SNY, the New York Mets met with free-agent starting pitcher Roki Sasaki on Thursday. Sasaki was officially posted earlier this month from Nippon Professional Baseball. Last season, the hard-throwing right-hander struck out 129 batters across 111 innings of work. He posted a strong 2.35 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP. The […]

Phillies Sign Max Kepler To One-Year Deal

According to Todd Zolecki of MLB.com, the Philadelphia Phillies have signed free-agent outfielder Max Kepler to a one-year contract. Kepler has spent his entire 10-year MLB career playing with the Minnesota Twins. Last season, he saw his campaign cut short due to left-knee tendinitis he suffered in early September. Across 105 games in 2024, the […]

Michael Soroka Headed To Washington

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, the Washington Nationals have signed right-handed pitcher Michael Soroka. Soroka spent last season pitching for the Chicago White Sox and operated as both a reliever and a starter. Across 79 2/3 innings of work, the right-hander held a 4.74 ERA and 1.38 WHIP with an 0-10 record. However […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 16? Patrick Taylor, Kendre Miller, Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jameson Williams, Najee Harris, Josh Downs, Darnell Mooney, Romeo Doubs, DJ Moore

Who Should I Start? Who Should I Sit? Some of the most common Week 16 fantasy football lineup decisions are regarding players like Patrick Taylor, Kendre Miller, Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jameson Williams, Najee Harris, Josh Downs, Darnell Mooney, Romeo Doubs, DJ Moore. But not to worry, we are here to help make these decisions […]

Derrick Jones Jr. Back In Action Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Derrick Jones Jr. (hamstring) will return from a two-game absence on Thursday versus Dallas. The 27-year-old suffered a right hamstring strain on Dec. 8 but has made a quick recovery. Jones Jr. has been a regular starter for the Clippers all year, averaging 10.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in […]

C.J. Stroud Relegated To Superflex Role Versus Chiefs

The struggling Houston Texans' passing game combined with the blitz-happy Kansas City Chiefs should have fantasy managers dialing back expectations for quarterback C.J. Stroud in Week 16. The second-year quarterback has been sacked the fifth-most times in the league this year, which is not a great sign against a Kansas City defense that knocks down […]

Marcus Smart Out Versus Warriors

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (shoulder) will not play against the Warriors on Thursday. After initially listing him as doubtful, the team has ruled Smart out for the content. This should result in Scotty Pippen Jr. having a more significant role in the rotation. As a reserve, Pippen Jr. has struggled with providing consistent production […]

Nico Collins Deserves WR1 Consideration In Week 16

The Houston Texans' offense has been a bit of a letdown this season, but wide receiver Nico Collins has been every bit as good as advertised, maintaining his WR1 status against Kansas City in Week 16. The Michigan Man has played at least 70% of Houston's snaps in seven games and finished in the top […]

Kenneth Walker III Practices In Full On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) went from missing practice on Wednesday to practicing in full on Thursday, signaling he could be ready to return from a two-game absence to face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday in Week 16. Meanwhile, Zach Charbonnet, who missed Wednesday with an oblique injury, was limited on Thursday. […]

Tank Dell Not In Starting Discussion Vs. Chiefs

Even by boom-or-bust standards, Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been an extreme case this year, making him a low-end WR4 option in Week 16 against Kansas City. The second-year receiver has failed to surpass 50 yards receiving eight times in 13 games and logged just one top-15 finish among receivers all season. This […]
