Ravens Defense On The Risky Side Of Options In Week 18

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams comes into Week 18 as the top-ranked unit in all of fantasy football. They gave up 19 points and collected three sacks, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery in the blowout win against the Miami Dolphins in Week 17. Even though they take on quarterback Mason Rudolph and a shaky […]

Sam Gagner Available Again

Edmonton Oilers forward Sam Gagner (concussion) has said he's "ready to go" ahead of Saturday's battle with the Senators. The veteran has been unavailable for five games while dealing with concussion-like symptoms. Gagner has been a productive bottom-six piece for the Oilers since he rejoined the club on Oct. 31. In 18 appearances, he's contributed […]

Zach Pascal Questionable To Face Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) logged another limited practice on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. The 29-year-old has merely filled a depth role this season, catching four of 15 targets for 19 yards. He played 22 percent of offensive snaps last week with Marquise […]

Justin Tucker Should Remain In Lineups In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker may not have attempted any field goals in Week 17 but was able to produce a respectable fantasy performance. He was able to make all eight of his extra-point attempts. That was his first game without attempting a single field goal since Week 4 and just the second one of […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports For Week 18 (Friday Updates): Trevor Lawrence, Josh Jacobs, Alvin Kamara, Amari Cooper, Zay Flowers, Baker Mayfield, and more

Although the majority of fantasy football leagues are in the books, some fantasy managers are still alive and playing for a championship in Week 18. There are also DFS contests to compete in during the final week of the regular season. As always, there are plenty of key injuries to monitor ahead of Saturday's and […]

Nelson Agholor Hard To Trust In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor is bound to see the most work of the season in Week 18 compared to every other game he's played in this year. Odell Beckham Jr. is getting some rest while Zay Flowers (calf) is doubtful to play as well. So, Agholor and Rashod Bateman enter their game against […]

Ryan Strome Unlikely To Play On Friday

Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Strome (upper body) will likely sit out a second consecutive game Friday versus the Jets. He participated in Friday's optional morning skate, but Ducks head coach Greg Cronin told The Sporting Tribune's Derek Lee that he doesn't think Strome will play. Strome sits fourth on Anaheim's points list, with three goals […]

Michael Mayer Sidelined For Regular Season Finale

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The 22-year-old's rookie season comes to an end with three consecutive absences. It was a somewhat underwhelming year for Mayer, who totaled just 27 catches, 304 yards, […]

Rashod Bateman Carries Some Flex Value In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman found the end zone just one time all season, and that was in Week 11, which happened to be his only reception in that game. His best game in terms of targets and receptions was in Week 17, when the offense demolished the Miami Dolphins. He hauled in four […]

Radko Gudas A Game-Time Decision On Friday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas (illness) is considered a game-time call for Friday's matchup against Winnipeg. He's been out for four of the past five games and could miss additional time due to an illness. Gudas has registered 10 points (five goals, five assists) across 32 games for the season while delivering 87 hits and […]

Josh Jacobs Won't Suit Up In Week 18

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) has been ruled out for Week 18 versus the Denver Broncos. This should not come as a surprise considering Jacobs missed all three practices this week. The 25-year-old had been impressive for most of the season before missing the Raiders' final four games of the year. This […]

Martin Necas Questionable For Meeting With Washington

Carolina Hurricanes forward Martin Necas (upper body) is regarded as questionable for Friday's tilt with Washington. He exited Thursday's practice early with an upper-body injury and could now miss his first game of the season. Necas has been slumping lately, but he has been among Carolina's top scorers with 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) […]

Justice Hill Holds Low-End Flex Appeal In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is fresh off of his best game this season after playing a huge role in the passing game against the Miami Dolphins. He even posted 16.0 yards per carry even though he only received three carries in that game. In Week 18, however, it's unclear how much action he's […]

Gus Edwards Better Left On The Bench In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has had a roller coaster of a season. He saw just one score in the first six weeks and then managed nine touchdowns in the five weeks following that span. He also scored three more times in the last three weeks, but since the Ravens have the top seed […]

Grant Williams Uncertain For Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Both Williams and Dereck Lively II (ankle) were injured during Wednesday's game. Between the two, Lively has been much more impactful on the court this season. Dwight Powell is expected to see more run if one or […]

Zay Jones Listed As Questionable, Will Play In Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee, hamstring) is officially questionable to play in Week 18 after logging three limited practices in a row. Despite the vague injury designation, head coach Doug Pederson told the media that Jones will play on Sunday. His presence will be key for the Jaguars who haven't secured a playoff […]

DJ Moore Good To Go For Week 18

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore suffered an ankle injury in Week 16 against the Cardinals but returned to the game. In Week 17, the star receiver had an injury designation before full participation in practice on the Friday before the game, and he went on to catch nine of 13 targets for 159 yards […]

Antonio Gibson Not A Starting Option In Week 18

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson is not a player who should be started in Week 18. With starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. returning from injury in Week 17, Gibson was limited to just six total touches. This week, the Commanders have a tough matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Although Dallas' defense hasn't been […]

Brock Wright Won't Play In Regular Season Finale

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. After playing the first 14 games this season, Wright has now missed three consecutive weeks, leaving some questions about his availability for the playoffs. Standout rookie Sam LaPorta will […]

Brian Robinson Jr. A Low-End RB2 In Week 18

After looking solid in his return from injury, Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. will aim for a strong performance to close out his second NFL season. This week, the Commanders are taking on the Dallas Cowboys. While that isn't a great matchup for Washington, Dallas hasn't been the best at stopping the run, […]

Saints D/ST Should Be Started In Week 18

The New Orleans Saints defense had a bounce-back game in Week 17, only allowing 13 points against a Tampa Bay offense that had been hot. The Saints notched two sacks, two fumble recoveries, and two interceptions en route to a 23-13 win. This week against the Atlanta Falcons, the Saints' defense can be trusted in […]

Jameson Williams Ruled Out For Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (ankle, illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This news comes as no surprise considering Williams missed all three practices this week. His absence should allow Josh Reynolds and Kalif Raymond to earn more snaps alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. Of the group, St. Brown […]

Will Levis Questionable For Week 18

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (foot) remained limited during Friday's practice. He is officially questionable to play in Week 18, though head coach Mike Vrabel already announced that Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in what could be his final game as a Titan. If active, Levis will be the backup, keeping him off the […]

Lonnie Walker IV, Dennis Smith Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) and Dennis Smith Jr. (back) are listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nets have been without Walker since late November. It's a shame because he was playing well before the injury, so hopefully he can provide that spark again once he's […]

Blake Grupe Should Be Avoided In Week 18

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe put together a strong fantasy output in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, converting 2-of-2 extra points and 3-of-3 field goals. Prior to the win, Grupe had only attempted two field goals in four weeks. In a game that is projected to be a lower-scoring […]

Alec Burks Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The veteran guard lands on the injury report after dropping 27 points in 34 minutes of action during Wednesday's loss. The assumption is that Ausar Thompson would have a bigger role if Burks is forced to […]

Taysom Hill Could See More Work In Week 18

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill saw a slightly increased role in Week 17 as he continued to work his way back from injury, scoring his second receiving touchdown of the season. With Alvin Kamara (ankle) not practicing all week and Juwan Johnson (chest) also banged up, the opportunity for Hill to get involved […]

Logan Thomas Has Little Upside In Week 18

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas is looking like a rough option in Week 18. This week, Washington will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys for the second time this year. In their previous matchup during Week 12, Thomas had a mediocre performance with just two receptions for 15 yards. For the second half of […]

Tyler Huntley A Risky QB2 In Week 18

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley will take over the offense as Lamar Jackson gets some well-deserved rest after the team locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC. Coincidentally, Huntley started both games against the Pittsburgh Steelers last season due to injuries to Jackson, and he ended up going 1-1 in those contests. This […]

Nikola Vucevic Available On Friday

Chicago Bulls center Nikola Vucevic (groin) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran big man will make his return to the court after missing the last five games due to a groin issue. His return means that Andre Drummond will head back to the bench. It was a nice run […]
