Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (hamstring) is listed as questionable on the final injury report on Friday.

Dalton Kincaid - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end TE2 with low-end TE1 upside ANALYSIS: Kincaid gets a really good matchup in Week 16 vs. the Chargers (indoors in LA), but what will he do with it? In his last two games with Dawson Knox back, he's averaged just 2.5 receptions for 10.5 […]

Diontae Johnson Difficult To Trust With Quarterback Change

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is in the midst of a three-game touchdown streak and will hope to revisit the end zone in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although Johnson saw his fantasy productivity increase with Mitch Trubisky under center, Pittsburgh is 0-3 since losing Kenny Pickett (ankle) to injury and thus will […]

Chris Godwin To Play In Week 16

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Godwin was limited on Wednesday and sat out of Thursday's practice. However, Godwin was a full participant during Friday's practice, so he should be fine for this weekend. It appears […]

Josh Jacobs Limited On Friday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad, illness) was a limited participant during Friday's practice session. The stud back appears to be dealing with multiple issues which is why he sat out on Thursday. The good news is that Jacobs was able to return to practice on Thursday, which is a positive sign heading […]

Kenneth Walker III Listed As Questionable For Week 16

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is listed as questionable for the Week 16 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Jaylen Warren Has Flex Appeal In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren is set to face the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16 after posting fewer than 10 half-PPR fantasy points in four consecutive games.

Rhamondre Stevenson Ruled Out For Week 16

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. As expected, Stevenson will miss this game after sitting out practice all week. He continues to work his way back from a high-ankle sprain that he suffered in Week 13. Given where the […]

Tyler Boyd - Week 16 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit in 10 and 12-team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 in PPR leagues ANALYSIS: Tyler Boyd has been a known commodity in the fantasy football landscape for some time now.

Najee Harris Will Look To Repeat Success Against Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) is coming off his worst performance of the campaign but will hope to bounce back against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16.

Juju Smith-Schuster Ruled Out For Week 16

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) has been ruled out for the Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The veteran wideout missed last week's game as well due to the same ankle issue. Smith-Schuster is putting together a disappointing campaign, so his absence isn't going to mean too much.

Mo Alie-Cox A Touchdown Dependent Flier In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts veteran tight end Mo Alie-Cox is coming off back-to-back games with a touchdown.

Josh Downs A Risky Play In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Josh Downs is coming off a Week 15 win where he caught all three of his targets for just 19 yards through the air. Downs has served as a helpful target for quarterback Gardner Minshew, but his recent form from a fantasy perspective doesn't instill much confidence in fantasy managers […]

Gardner Minshew A Longshot QB1 In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Gardner Minshew had a decent fantasy outing in Week 15, throwing for three touchdowns in the team's win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He now gets ready for a Week 16 matchup when the Colts travel to face off against the Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons' defense has been an above-average matchup for opposing […]

Philipp Kurashev Good To Go Friday

Chicago Blackhawks forward Philipp Kurashev (illness) will rejoin the lineup Friday versus Montreal. He missed the previous game with an illness, giving up his spot in the lineup to Cole Guttman. The roles will be reversed on Friday. Kurashev is the top-scoring Blackhawk not named Connor Bedard this season. He's had six goals and 11 […]

David Perron Returning From Suspension Friday

Detroit Red Wings winger David Perron has served his six-game suspension and is eligible to return to action on Friday against Philadelphia.

He's had a solid year with a […]

Jeremy Swayman Takes On Jets Friday

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman will be the man between the sticks in Friday's matchup against Winnipeg. The 25-year-old will look to get back to winning ways after suffering a couple of back-to-back overtime defeats. The losses have dropped Swayman's record to 9-1-4, but he has been rock-solid for most of the season and still […]

Matt Grzelcyk Won't Play On Friday

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (upper body) will sit out Friday's matchup against Winnipeg. He hasn't joined the team for a brief two-game road trip ahead of the holiday break, so we likely won't see him on Saturday versus the Wild either.
