Wan'Dale Robinson Questionable For Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quad) is currently listed as questionable for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Robinson began the week as a limited participant in practice. He was upgraded to full on Thursday, but then returned to being a limited participant on Friday. Possibly, Robinson re-aggravated his […]

Isaiah Likely Carries TE1 Value In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely has played a huge role in the offense ever since Mark Andrews (ankle) went down in Week 11. During that time, Likely ranks fifth among tight ends in routes run per team dropback with 80.5% and he's in the top ten for receiving yards with 249. On top of […]

C.J. Stroud Returning In Week 17

Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) was able to get through his second straight full practice session on Friday. The rookie quarterback cleared the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. Fantasy managers should expect Stroud to be out there for the Week 17 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The Texans still have a chance at […]

Darnell Mooney Ruled Out For Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. This was expected after Mooney continued to sit out of practice due to concussion symptoms. The absence of Mooney won't have a big impact on this offense. He hasn't caught more than two passes […]

Najee Harris A Solid Flex Option In Week 17

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the team's injury report ahead of a road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Steelers' offense played well with Mason Rudolph under center last week and Harris contributed to the victory with 78 rushing yards and a touchdown. He'll […]

Cole Kmet Questionable For Week 17

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) has returned to practice and was a limited participant during Friday's session. He missed the first two practices of the week, but a return on Friday is a good sign. Kmet is currently listed as questionable for the Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. He has been […]

Lucas Giolito, Red Sox Agree On Two-Year Deal

Free-agent right-hander Lucas Giolito and the Boston Red Sox agreed on a two-year, $38.5 million deal on Friday that includes an opt-out clause after the first season, according to sources. With the move, the pitching-needy Red Sox have their first big signing of the winter. It's probably not the best landing spot for a former […]

Patriots Defense Not A Top Option For Week 17

The New England Patriots' defense lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. This unit was impressive with five sacks and one defensive touchdown last Sunday, but it still ranks 23rd in terms of fantasy points this season. Their upside will be capped against a strong Josh Allen-led offense that has held […]

Chad Ryland Off Fantasy Radar Despite Last Week's Big Kick

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland cannot be trusted in fantasy football leagues ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Although the rookie did make two field goals last Sunday, including a historic 56-yard game-winner, he also missed two kicks in the contest. He is now 21-for-22 on extra points and a woeful 15-for-23 […]

Lamar Jackson Remains A Must-Start Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson checks in at QB4 after three straight QB1-level performances since their bye in Week 13. In that span, he has 739 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions while completing 61 of his 102 attempts. He's also ran for 212 yards on 30 carries but hasn't found the end zone. In […]

Demario Douglas Has Fantasy Appeal For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas is an appealing fantasy option ahead of Week 17 versus the Buffalo Bills. The rookie is coming off a solid Christmas Eve outing in which he turned eight targets into five receptions for 74 yards. He has emerged as one of Bailey Zappe's favorite and most reliable options […]

Zay Flowers Questionable For Week 17

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Zay Flowers (calf) was limited in practice on Friday and is listed as questionable to suit up on Sunday to face the Miami Dolphins in Week 17 action. The good news is that the first-rounder was able to practice at all on Friday after skipping practice sessions on Wednesday and […]

DeVante Parker Remains In Line For Large Role

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker remains a key part of the passing attack ahead of Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills. Parker has played more than 90 percent of offensive snaps in each of his last two games, totaling nine catches and 109 yards during that span. He has carved out a key […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Appealing Option For Week 17

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott (illness) logged a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report. He will play versus the Buffalo Bills, ranking as a solid RB2 option in most fantasy leagues. The 28-year-old has looked great operating as the Patriots' top running back with Rhamondre Stevenson […]

Raheem Mostert Questionable To Play Against Ravens

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for the Week 17 contest versus the Baltimore Ravens. Mostert suffered a new ankle injury in the Week 16 win over the Dallas Cowboys and didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday. However, the 31-year-old has […]

Bailey Zappe Remains Tough To Trust In Week 17

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe is not a very reliable option for fantasy football ahead of Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. On one hand, the 24-year-old has been solid over his last three starts, amassing six touchdowns and just two interceptions. He impressed with 256 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during last […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion, shoulder) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol and practiced in full on Thursday and Friday, but he still wasn't able to escape a questionable tag for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Pittman missed the Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons […]

Elijah Mitchell To Return In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) practiced in full all week long and has been removed from the final injury report. He will be active for Sunday's contest against the Washington Commanders, putting an end to his three-game absence. The 25-year-old is averaging less than five carries per game this season, so while […]

Jauan Jennings Ruled Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (concussion) missed practice this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old will miss his third game of the season, including his second in a row. Ronnie Bell and Chris Conley should see increased opportunities in the passing attack, though […]

Brock Purdy, Deebo Samuel Will Play In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel (neck) have been removed from the final injury report and will play against the Washington Commanders in Week 17.

DK Metcalf Questionable To Play In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back) is officially questionable to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The injury popped up during practice this week, creating real uncertainty about his status for this weekend's contest.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder, illness) is officially questionable to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but the team is leaving the door open for him to play with this designation. The 23-year-old was somewhat underwhelming last week with 3.38 yards per carry […]

Kyler Murray Questionable To Face Eagles

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (illness) practiced in a limited capacity on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17. He had been unable to practice on Wednesday and Thursday, so this latest development should be viewed as a step in the right direction. Nevertheless, Murray's availability for Sunday […]
