Chargers Defense A Risky But Potentially Solid Choice In Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a risky but potentially solid fantasy option in Week 17 lineups. Just a few weeks ago, the Bolts allowed 63 points to the Raiders in one of the most embarrassing games in Chargers history, but then they came out against a strong Bills offense last week and allowed just […]

Cameron Dicker A Strong Kicking Option In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a solid kicking option in a Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos. Dicker had a huge Week 16 game, nailing five field goals and an extra point for a 20+ fantasy point performance. With the Chargers struggling to do much on offense, they're having many drives end […]

Reds Re-Sign Buck Farmer

The Cincinnati Reds re-signed relief pitcher Buck Farmer to a one-year deal worth $2.25 million on Thursday and designated outfielder Bubba Thompson for assignment in a corresponding move. The 32-year-old right-hander has been a middle reliever for the Reds each of the past two seasons and has posted a combined 4.06 ERA (4.00 FIP) and […]

Jalen Guyton Not A Fantasy Option In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Jalen Guyton is not a good fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos despite several injuries ahead of him on the depth chart. Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) are both questionable at best. In theory, that leaves Guyton as one of the top two […]

Gerald Everett Could See A Lot Of Targets In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett could see a few extra targets this week in a Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos. Everett has taken on a large role in the passing game in the second half of the season, and with wide receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) both questionable […]

Quentin Johnston Set For A Big Role In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston is set for a possibly large offensive role in a Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos. Johnston is wrapping up a very disappointing rookie season, but with Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) both questionable at best, the rookie could end up working as the […]

Tim Hill, White Sox Agree On One-Year Deal

Free-agent left-handed reliever Tim Hill and the Chicago White Sox agreed to a one-year, $1.8 million deal on Thursday, according to sources. Hill, 33, became a free agent when he was non-tendered by the San Diego Padres this winter. He'll join a White Sox bullpen where he should see plenty of innings and high-leverage opportunities, […]

Austin Ekeler Tough To Trust In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler is tough to trust in fantasy lineups in a Week 17 game against the Denver Broncos. Ekeler was fairly efficient last week, but it only translated to 65 yards on the ground and 21 more through the air. He's only scored one touchdown in his last six games, […]

Easton Stick Not A Week 17 Option Despite A Good Matchup

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Easton Stick had the best game of his career in Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills but still won't be much of a fantasy option in Week 17 when the Chargers take on the Denver Broncos. Stick kept the ball safe and did not commit any turnovers in Week 16 and […]

Is Russell Wilson The Broncos Starting Quarterback? Should I Start Jarrett Stidham? Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson was traded from the Seahawks ahead of the 2022 season and then signed a five-year, $245 million extension once traded. The extension is set to start in 2024 with a cap number of over $35 million, which only increases as the deal continues. The 35-year-old ranks as the QB9 in […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Downgraded To Non-Participant

After putting in a limited practice on Wednesday, New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice session. Smith-Schuster has been inactive for each of the team's last two games and is now in jeopardy of missing his third straight game this weekend against the Buffalo Bills after […]

Hunter Henry Stays Limited Thursday

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) was limited for the second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Henry didn't play in the team's Week 16 win over the Denver Broncos on Christmas Eve, but the fact that he's practiced twice already this week gives hope that he will return this Sunday […]

Ezekiel Elliott Under The Weather Thursday

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott (illness) was out sick at practice on Thursday. Elliott's status now bears watching for Week 17 against the Buffalo Bills this Sunday, but he should be fine to suit up. Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is now on Injured Reserve, ensuring that Zeke will finish out the 2023 season as […]

Michael Mayer Trending In The Wrong Direction

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Michael Mayer (toe) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday and is now trending toward missing his second straight game this weekend against the Indianapolis Colts. Mayer could still have a chance to play this Sunday, but he'll need to be at least limited in Friday's practice. […]

Greg Zuerlein – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: K3 ANALYSIS: New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein has been one of the top kickers in the NFL over the past few years. Despite playing with an anemic offense, the veteran has been a solid fantasy kicker in 2023. He is the K10 for the season, averaging […]

Josh Jacobs Missing Again Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Jacobs injured his quadriceps muscle in Week 14 and has missed each of the last two games. He's not on the right track towards returning to play this Sunday on the road in Indianapolis against the Colts, either. The Raiders […]

Zay Jones Stays Limited Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring, knee) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Jones missed the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a hamstring injury he suffered the week prior, but he could have a chance to return for a must-win game this Sunday against […]

David Njoku, Tyler Conklin, Israel Abanikanda: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 17

Although it's tough to stomach another prime time game for the New York Jets, who were supposed to have Aaron Rodgers in these contests, they're back in the spotlight and will face a Joe Flacco-led Browns team to begin the Week 17 slate. The Jets and Browns have two of the best defenses in the […]

Trevor Lawrence Listed As DNP

Updating a previous report, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday for the second straight day. A previous report suggested that he put in a limited practice session. The 24-year-old signal-caller is dealing with a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder and is up in the air […]

Riley Patterson – Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Sit in All Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: K3 ANALYSIS: Cleveland Browns kicker Riley Patterson started the 2023 season with the Detroit Lions. However, the Lions released the veteran kicker after the Week 14 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Many were surprised to see Detroit move on from the kicker. Patterson has made 15 of […]

Rico Dowdle Ruled Out For Saturday's Game

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (ankle) didn't practice with the team on Wednesday or Thursday and has officially been ruled out for Saturday night's Week 17 contest versus the visiting Detroit Lions. With Dowdle out, rookie Deuce Vaughn will have an expanded role as a change-of-pace option to starter Tony Pollard in Dallas' backfield […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Should Play In Week 17

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quadriceps) was on the field for a full practice on Thursday after being listed as limited during the team's walkthrough on Wednesday. Robinson should continue to serve as New York's starting slot receiver for a Week 17 tilt against the Los Angeles Rams, but it's a role that […]

Darren Waller Upgrades To Full Practice

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (knee) was a full participant in practice on Thursday a day after being limited in the team's walkthrough. Waller is managing a knee injury but should be fine to play this Sunday against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. The 31-year-old returned from Injured Reserve due to a hamstring […]

Saquon Barkley Back To Full Practice

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (elbow) was a full-go in Thursday's practice after he had a limited tag on Wednesday. It should ease any concerns that fantasy managers may have had about Barkley's availability for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The 26-year-old back hasn't been particularly effective on […]

Is Chuba Hubbard Injured or Playing In Week 17? Should I Start Miles Sanders For Fantasy Football?

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has been a solid RB2 option in fantasy football during the second half of the 2023 season. The former Oklahoma State Cowboy has scored at least 10.6 half-PPR fantasy points in each of his last five games, finishing no lower than the RB24 during that stretch. Hubbard is dealing […]

Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks Absent Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receivers Christian Watson (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle, chest) were both absent from practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Watson strained his right hamstring in Week 13 and hasn't practiced or played since, so fantasy managers should expect him to miss yet another contest in Week 17 […]

Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer Miss Another Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer (concussion) both missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday, although they were seen doing agility work and running off to the side with trainers. Neither player is likely to face off against the Denver Broncos this weekend if they don't return to […]

Kyler Murray In Street Clothes Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (illness) was present during the period of practice open to the media on Thursday, but he was in street clothes and it looks like he still has a "holiday bug" that head coach Jonathan Gannon described on Wednesday. Murray has been under the weather this week, but he should return […]

Zack Moss Practices Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) was seen taking part in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Moss was deemed a limited practice participant on Wednesday and will probably be listed the same on Thursday. The 26-year-old was forced to sit out of the Week 16 loss to the Atlanta Falcons last […]
