Cade Otton Is Not A Viable Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has posted back-to-back dud performances over the last two weeks. Otton has a total of two receptions for 17 yards over his last two games. Otton has fallen in the pecking order and now rookie Trey Palmer is seeing more involvement than him in the offense. That being […]

Chris Godwin Worth A Look In Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was able to find the end zone for only the second time this season during last weekend's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Over the last four games, Godwin has seen a much larger target share in this offense. Godwin has seen 10 or more targets in three […]

Mike Evans Should Remain Productive

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has been a reliable option for fantasy managers throughout most of the season. The veteran wideout has been a touchdown-machine with 13 scores heading into Week 18. This weekend, Evans will match up against the Carolina Panthers defense. A unit that allowed seven receptions for 162 yards and […]

Rachaad White A Strong Option For Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White was held in check during last week's loss to the New Orleans Saints. The young back managed only 39 yards on the ground on 17 carries last Sunday.

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (hip) was unable to practice all week but is listed as questionable to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday night.

Noah Brown Won't Play Against Colts

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (back) was unable to practice all week and has been ruled out for Saturday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Indianapolis Colts. Fellow wideout Robert Woods (hip) is questionable, so the Texans receiving corps could be extra thin in a must-win game for rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Nico […]

Khalil Herbert Dealing With Back Injury

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (back) popped up on the Week 18 injury report on Thursday and was listed as a limited practice participant. Midweek injuries are usually never a good sign, especially with a team heading into a meaningless Week 18 regular season finale against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are still […]

Christian Dvorak Set To Miss Rest Of Season

Montreal Canadiens center Christian Dvorak will undergo surgery for a torn pectoral muscle on Friday and won't be available for the rest of the season.

Alvin Kamara Absent Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a sprained ankle he suffered in the Week 17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Aaron Jones Stays Limited In Week 18

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (finger, knee) was limited in the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Backfield mate AJ Dillon (neck, thumb) has yet to practice […]

Christian Watson, Jayden Reed Limited Again Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Jayden Reed (chest) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week.
