The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 16

With just two weeks left, fantasy managers should be paying a lot of attention to the next two matchups. If you've made it this far, there likely isn't a whole lot of roster tinkering left. You're not still standing unless you're relatively healthy with some studs in the starting lineup. If that's the case, there's […]

DraftKings CBB DFS Lineup Picks For 12/19/23 - Daily Fantasy College Basketball Advice

We have a pretty busy slate for the week before Christmas. We have eight games on tap for tonight. The Jumpman Invitational gets started in Charlotte, so you know we at least have one good game! We start this off a little bit earlier tonight with Morehead State in Bloomington to take on the Hoosiers […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Catches Game-Winning Touchdown

Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught the game-winning touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks in their 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The sure-handed rookie tracked a 29-yard strike over his left shoulder and reeled it in by his fingertips, putting Seattle ahead with 28 seconds left on the clock. Smith-Njigba caught all four […]

Tyler Lockett Sees Team-High Nine Targets

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett led the team with nine targets in Monday's 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. His 28% target share on the night resulted in just three catches for 21 yards, however. It was a disappointing turnout considering that coming into Week 15 the Eagles were allowing the most fantasy points […]

DK Metcalf Leads Team With 78 Receiving Yards

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had a disappointing fantasy performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. He finished with a modest five catches for 78 yards, both team highs in the Seahawks' 20-17 win. Coming into Week 15, the Eagles had allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers but […]

Zach Charbonnet Gets Four Carries On Monday

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet took a big step back on the depth chart on Monday night. Charbonnet had just four carries for 16 yards in the 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie was in on passing downs but he was targeted only once and did not record a catch despite quarterback […]

Kenneth Walker III Finds Paydirt Against Eagles

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III took 19 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 26 receiving yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Walker looked stuck in the mud in the first half, generating just three yards per carry, but things improved after […]

Drew Lock Upsets Eagles On Monday Night Football

Quarterback Drew Lock was tabbed for his second consecutive start after it was determined in pregame warmups that Geno Smith (groin) was better off sitting for another week. Lock went 22-for-33 for 203 passing yards in what was an underwhelming effort until Seattle's final drive of Seattle's eventual 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. With […]

John Gibson Misses Monday's Game To Attend Birth Of Child

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson (personal) was absent from Monday's game due to the birth of his child. Gibson was taken out of Saturday's game due to illness, so hopefully he is feeling better in time for his child's birth. The Ducks don't play until Thursday against Calgary, so Gibson should be back and will […]

Mats Zuccarello Misses Monday's Game With Upper-Body Injury

Minnesota Wild winger Mats Zuccarello (upper body) wasn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. After the game, coach John Hynes said Zuccarello was day-to-day and has a chance to play Tuesday, so the injury doesn't appear to be serious. That is good news for fantasy managers, as Zucc has put up […]

Rickard Rakell Returns Monday

Pittsburgh Penguins forward Rickard Rakell (upper body) was activated off injured reserve for Monday's game against the Minnesota Wild. It was Rakell's first game since November 19, as he missed 12 games with the injury. The 30-year-old was put in a prime position Monday, as he skated on the first line with Sidney Crosby and […]

Ville Husso Leaves Monday's Game Early

Detroit Red Wings goalie Ville Husso (lower body) was removed from Monday's game in the first period due to an apparent lower-body injury. Husso had to be helped off the ice and is not expected to be ready for Wednesday's game, which is bad news considering that is two days away and the team already […]

Alex Lyon Deemed Week-To-Week

Detroit Red Wings goaltender Alex Lyon (lower body) is out week-to-week after exiting Saturday's game early with a lower-body injury. This is a tough blow for the Wings, who also lost Ville Husso (lower body) to injury in Monday's contest. Lyon has been terrific for Detroit and was slowly getting more starts, deservedly so after […]

Auston Matthews Returns To Practice Monday

Toronto Maple Leafs center Auston Matthews (illness) returned to team practice on Monday and is expected to play Tuesday against the New York Rangers. Matthews missed Saturday's game with an illness that has been sweeping the league, but it looks like that will be the only game he misses. The league's leading scorer has 23 […]

Saints vs. Rams TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, more

I'm willing to bet that the final score of the Week 16 Thursday Night Football game will not be as lopsided as last week's 63-21 score where the Raiders dismantled the Chargers. For this week, we have a mostly clean bill of health for our fantasy football contributors and both teams have massive amounts of […]

Red Sox Hire Dillon Lawson As Hitting Coordinator

The Boston Red Sox hired Dillon Lawson as a hitting coordinator Monday, per The Athletic's Brendan Kuty. Lawson had served as the New York Yankees' primary hitting coach from the start of the 2022 season through the middle of last season, at which time the team released him amid major offensive struggles. While the Yankees […]

Kyle Hart Signs With NC Dinos In KBO

Free-agent starting pitcher Kyle Hart signed with the NC Dinos of the KBO on Monday, per NY Post's Jon Heyman. The deal is worth $900,000. The 31-year-old lefty spent the majority of the 2023 season with the Mariners' Triple-A Tacoma, making 18 starts with a 4.58 ERA, 1.49 WHIP, and 22.1% strikeout rate. Most of […]

Yankees To Be Aggressive In Bolstering Pitching Staff

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reported Sunday that the New York Yankees will be aggressive in adding to their pitching staff this offseason regardless of whether they sign top free-agent Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Yamamoto would be a significant addition to improve their rotation, but the team could still benefit from additional support given recent trades as well […]

Grayson Allen Probable For Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (hamstring) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Allen is dealing with right hamstring soreness, but still should be able to suit up. The Suns could use Allen with Bradley Beal (ankle) and Josh Okogie (hip) both ruled out for Tuesday's game. Allen will have […]

Ja'Marr Chase Likely To Miss Some Time

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) is likely to miss some time after undergoing an MRI exam on his separated shoulder on Monday, according to sources. Chase is expected to be sidelined for this Saturday's game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16, and his absence could extend beyond that, too. It's […]

Josh Okogie Won't Play On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Josh Okogie (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Okogie will miss his fourth straight game while he deals with a right hip strain. The expectation is that Grayson Allen (hamstring) and Eric Gordon should see additional minutes with Okogie sidelined. Both Allen and Gordon could […]

Shaedon Sharpe Questionable For Tuesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (groin) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Sharpe popped up on the injury report with right groin soreness, so he could very well sit this one out. His absence would likely mean that Malcolm Brogdon would slide into the starting five. Also, Scoot Henderson […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Cleared For Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) and center Anthony Davis (hip) are both active for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. As expected, both players will suit up despite dealing with nagging injuries. James and Davis will occupy their normal spots in the rotation and aren't expected to be under a minutes limit. […]

Darius Slayton (WR, NYG) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: It's the same story every year, isn't it? The New York Giants add wide receivers in the draft and free agency, then Darius Slayton still winds up playing a key role for the team down the stretch. He's in his fifth […]

Chris Paul Questionable For Tuesday

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (illness) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Boston Celtics. The veteran guard lands on the injury report due to a non-COVID related illness. His presence is more important now with Draymond Green being suspended. Paul hasn't started any of the games Green has been absent, but […]

De'Aaron Fox Will Play On Monday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (shoulder) will suit up for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Fox will make his way back into the rotation after a one-game absence due to a shoulder issue. He's expected to slide right back into his role in the starting five. Head coach Mike Brown said Fox won't have […]

Cedric Tillman (WR, CLE) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman continued to see his role increase this week, as the rookie was targeted a season-high eight times. He ended up catching four of those passes for 52 yards, marking the second time in the past four games […]
