Jimmy Butler Removed From The Injury Report

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) will play on Saturday versus the Jazz. The 34-year-old missed his last four contests because of a calf issue, so he may not log his usual workload in his first game back from the injury. But Butler's return will send Haywood Highsmith back to the bench. At the same […]

Dolphins Defense A Risky Option In Week 17

The Miami Dolphins defense/special teams was able to contain the Dallas Cowboys offense enough to get a win in Week 16. They collected four sacks and a fumble recovery while allowing 20 points. Since their bye week in Week 11, they've racked up 14 turnovers, three touchdowns, and 23 sacks which has produced double-digit fantasy […]

Ka’imi Fairbairn A Low-End Kicker Option in Week 17

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn will look to score more fantasy points in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. Last week, Fairbairn scored just two fantasy points after making both of his extra points. But with C.J. Stroud (concussion) back at quarterback, the Texans' kicker should earn more opportunities in the kicking game on Sunday. […]

Texans Defense A Strong Option In Week 17

The Houston Texans defense will look to get back on track in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. Houston gave up 36 points last week behind only one sack and two interceptions. But running back Dameon Pierce did return a kickoff for a touchdown in the contest. In Week 17, though, they'll face a Titans […]

Jaguars D/ST In Play For Week 17

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense faces one of the worst offenses in the NFL Week 17 when the Carolina Panthers come to EverBank Stadium. This unit has been very disappointing since their Week 9 bye, ranking 27th in total fantasy points from Weeks 10-16. This Sunday should serve as a "get right" game for the Jags, […]

Jason Sanders Carries Streaming Value In Week 17

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been on a bit of a hot streak since starting the season off very slowly. In Week 16, he posted his best fantasy performance of the season after making three 50-yarders, one 30-yarder, and then icing the game on a 29-yarder while adding an extra point. After two double-digit […]

Dalton Schultz Has A Safe Floor In Week 17

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz will have a safe fantasy floor against the Tennessee Titans in Week 17. Despite the Titans being number one against fantasy tight ends this season, Schultz should see enough volume on offense with C.J. Stroud (concussion) back under center. Just two weeks ago, the veteran tight end caught four […]

Hunter Henry Travels With Team, Has Chance To Play In Week 17

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) has traveled with the team to Buffalo and has a chance to play in Week 17 against the Bills. Henry, who is listed as questionable, was absent from last Sunday's win over the Denver Broncos in Week 16 but is trending in the right direction for this […]

Evan Engram With Usual TE1 Status vs. Panthers

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram heads into a pivotal Week 17 home matchup against Carolina tomorrow. It's been a tale of streaks for the veteran tight end this season. Engram hit four consecutive top-10 weekly finishes to start the year, then failed to reach that mark for the next seven in half-PPR scoring. He's […]

Kayshon Boutte Ruled Out For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 17 game against the Buffalo Bills. Boutte did not even make the trip with the team to Buffalo. The rookie wideout has appeared in just four games this season, usually as a healthy scratch, so his absence on Sunday shouldn't […]

Calvin Ridley A Low-End WR2 Against Panthers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley heads into a tough Week 17 matchup against the Carolina Panthers this Sunday. The 28-year-old continued his boom-bust trend last week, following up two duds with a monster 90-yard, two touchdown performance that all came in one half. This coming week brings a different challenge, as Ridley will now […]

Noah Brown A Flex Play In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown dealt with a knee issue this week but is good to go for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Brown practiced in a limited fashion on Wednesday and Thursday before practicing in full on Friday. He will look to repeat his success against this Titans' secondary after catching eight […]

Nico Collins A Must Start In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins hasn't been fully healthy over the past few weeks. He suffered a calf injury in Week 14, missed Week 15, and only played 47% of the team snaps in last week's loss. But Collins is off the injury report heading into Sunday's matchup against the Tennessee Titans. With quarterback […]

Vaughn Grissom Traded To The Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox have acquired infielder Vaughn Grissom as part of their trade that sent Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves. Boston is sending Sale and a majority of his $27.5 million 2023 salary to Atlanta in exchange for Grissom, who is a highly regarded infield prospect. Grissom has seen major league action in […]

Devin Singletary An RB2 Option In Week 17

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary will look to get back on track in Week 17 against the Tennessee Titans. Last week, Singletary had just 12 touches for 63 yards in the loss. But a better game could be in store for the 26-year-old this weekend. Just two weeks ago, Singletary ran all over Tennessee, […]

Durham Smythe Not A Starting Option In Week 17

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe hasn't been on the fantasy radar at all this season and Week 17 is no different. In Week 16, he registered his best game of the season which went for just over 10 fantasy points in PPR formats. He hauled in all five targets for 56 yards which were […]

Chris Sale Traded To The Atlanta Braves

The Atlanta Braves have acquired starting pitcher Chris Sale in a trade with the Boston Red Sox, according to Jeff Passan of ESPN.com. Passan also noted that Vaughn Grissom, a talented infield prospect, is heading to Boston as part of the return. Sale put up a 4.30 ERA, 1.130 WHIP, and 125:29 K/BB ratio over […]

Broncos Defense Has Top-10 Appeal Against Chargers

The Denver Broncos defense will be a unit to consider starting in fantasy lineups during championship matchups in Week 17 given their matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. In the last five weeks, the Chargers have been a top-five fantasy matchup for opposing defenses, and they'll be missing receivers Keenan Allen (heel) and Joshua Palmer […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Too Risky To Start In Week 17

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. hasn't been fantasy-relevant all season and has racked up a total of 19 catches for 245 yards and two touchdowns. He has one game with double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats and he has only finished above WR40 once. Even though Jaylen Waddle (ankle) has been ruled out […]

Keaontay Ingram Elevated To Chiefs Active Roster

Kansas City Chiefs running back Keaontay Ingram has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Ingram, who began the season with the Cardinals, signed with the Chiefs' practice squad back in late November. Ingram's elevation could mean that Isiah Pacheco (concussion) or […]

Travis Etienne Jr. Set For Big Day Vs. Panthers

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. gets a soft Carolina run defense for the fantasy championship in Week 17. It's been tough sledding the former first-round pick of late, with zero top-10 performances in the past seven games after hitting that mark from weeks 5-8. Etienne let managers down in a big way with […]

Wil Lutz Ready To Bounce Back In Week 17

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz disappointed fantasy managers that started him in the Week 16 loss to the New England Patriots in a game in which he made just one extra point and missed his lone field-goal try. Lutz wasn't fantasy relevant at all early in the year but then had a strong stretch from […]

C.J. Beathard Better Left On Waivers In Week 17

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard faces the Carolina Panthers in a Week 17 matchup. QB1 Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been dealing with a new injury every week it seems, and was ruled out on Friday giving Beathard the start. While the career backup has filled in admirably thus far when Lawrence was forced out of […]

Mecole Hardman Jr. Activated From IR, Good To Go For Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) has been activated from IR and had his questionable tag removed ahead of Sunday's Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Hardman has just eight catches for 41 scoreless yards in four games with the Chiefs after catching just one target for six yards over five […]

Continue To Stay Away From Adam Trautman

We've been saying it all year and hope you've listened. Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman needs to continue to be ignored heading into a Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers. It's still the case despite the fact that the Broncos have a great matchup this weekend and with the team's receiving […]

Week 17 PPR Tight End Rankings for Fantasy Football- Travis Kelce, George Kittle, Darren Waller, Gerald Everett, Chigoziem Okonkwo

RotoBallers, fantasy football championship week, is finally here! Congratulations to all the fantasy managers who made it this far. The tight end position is already thin as it is, and the loss of T.J. Hockenson further weakens the tight end pool. For fantasy managers searching for a replacement for Hockenson or a streamer for championship […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Could Log Increased Snaps Against LA

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey could be looking at a significant role in Week 17 versus the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers with Courtland Sutton (concussion) out and Jerry Jeudy (illness) and rookie Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) both questionable to play. Humphrey played 58 percent of the offensive snaps for the second straight week in […]
