Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) has now missed two consecutive games in Weeks 14-15 with a calf injury.

Should I Pickup Romeo Doubs or Jalen McMillan? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

It's never too late in the season for receivers to break out. Or for them to have anomalistically good production that's bound to regress. Or for them to break out a second time and for this breakout to be real. Or they could have a game that's not necessarily an outlier in terms of usage […]

Jameis Winston Out As Starter In Cleveland

After being benched in the Week 15 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday following three interceptions, Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston will lose the starting job to Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the upcoming Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.

Cole Kmet Hauls In His Only Target On Monday Night

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet once again was an afterthought in the team's lackluster offense in the Monday night loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings, catching his only target for a pickup of 14 yards. Kmet was on the field plenty -- he played 93 percent of the offensive snaps on the evening -- […]

Travis Homer Sees Three Carries In Loss To Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Travis Homer had very minimal involvement on offense in the team's 30-12 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football in Week 15.
