Kenny Pickett Practices Again On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. The young signal-caller continues to work his way back from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 13. Head coach Mike Tomlin has already hinted that Mason Rudolph will start in Week 17. That being said, it doesn't seem like the […]

Chris Olave Remains Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (ankle) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Olave continues to battle through an ankle injury that caused him to miss Week 15. However, Olave returned last week and finished with nine receptions for 123 yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Honestly, fantasy managers […]

Jordan Addison Returns To Practice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (ankle) was able to get back on the practice field on Thursday. The rookie wideout sat out on Wednesday, but returned for a limited session on Thursday. The fact Addison was able to practice at all is good news ahead of the Week 17 matchup against the Green Bay […]

Tua Tagovailoa Limited Once Again

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb, quad) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Tagovailoa has been limited during practice. Despite that, fantasy managers shouldn't panic as this seems more for rest purposes. Tagovailoa should be fine for the upcoming Week 17 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy […]

Darnell Mooney Misses Another Practice

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) didn't suit up during Thursday's practice session. Mooney remains in the league's concussion protocol and as a result has missed the last two practice sessions. Mooney has been much of a factor on offense lately again. He hasn't caught more than two passes in a single game since […]

Taylor Heinicke Remains Limited On Thursday

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is now back-to-back days that Heinicke has been limited in practice. Possibly, the Falcons are just being cautious ahead of their Week 17 matchup against the Chicago Bears. If Heinicke sits, Desmond Ridder is expected to start under center this […]

Vince Williams Jr. Starting On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams will shift into the starting five with Ja Morant (illness) ruled out for this game. That means, Williams will start for the seventh time in the last eight games. The 2022 second-round pick has […]

Marquise Brown Picks Up Second Straight DNP

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (heel) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Brown missed the Week 16 loss to the Chicago Bears and was lifted from his last two games early due to his heel injury. In fact, because of those early exits, the […]

Peyton Watson To Start On Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Peyton Watson will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The expectation is that Watson is going to see increased involvement going forward. Fellow forward Aaron Gordon (face, hand) is out indefinitely after being attacked by a dog. This doesn't mean Watson will start every game, […]

Josh Richardson Officially Out On Thursday

Miami Heat forward Josh Richardson (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This was expected as Richardson was considered doubtful for this game due to lower back discomfort. The Heat are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Richardson. That means, Jaime […]

Santi Aldama Downgraded To Out

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (illness) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Grizzlies are going to be shorthanded with Ja Morant (illness) also sidelined for this game. However, the absence of Aldama won't mean as much as the loss of Morant. Regardless, the Grizzlies will need to […]

Noah Fant A Full-Go On Thursday

After he was absent from practice on Wednesday, Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was a full practice participant on Thursday. It's a sign that Fant will be good to go for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Receiver DK Metcalf (back) might be in danger of playing in Week 17 after being added […]

Ja Morant Unavailable On Thursday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Morant was questionable coming into this game, but will ultimately sit out due to an illness. The expectation is that Marcus Smart will move over to the point guard spot, while Desmond Bane shifts to shooting guard. […]

Reggie Jackson Available On Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard Reggie Jackson is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard will suit up after being able to get through his pregame routine. There was some uncertainty that Jackson would miss this game due to a skin lesion. Despite that, Jackson has been cleared to play and should […]

Anfernee Simons Won't Play On Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The young guard was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness. In his absence, Scoot Henderson will move into the starting five for Thursday's game. He has been coming off the […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo Upgrade To Full Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba (knee) and Jake Bobo (knee) both upgraded from a limited practice on Wednesday to a full practice session on Thursday, so both wideouts should be active for a Week 17 contest versus the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Fellow wideout DK Metcalf is dealing with a new back injury […]

Kenneth Walker III Misses Another Practice Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker (illness, shoulder) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. It's never good for a player to miss the first two practices of the week, but Walker could still play in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers if he can return to at least a limited practice on […]

DK Metcalf Dealing With Back Injury

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (back) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday after he was unable to practice due to a new back injury. Receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) also missed practice for the second straight day. Fantasy managers are going to need to keep a close eye on Metcalf's status […]

Greg Dulcich Hasn't Practiced This Week

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (foot, hamstring) missed his second day of practice this week on Thursday. It's looking more and more likely that Dulcich, who remains on Injured Reserve, won't return to play in 2023 with the Broncos' playoff chances on life support after losing their last two games. The 23-year-old second-year tight […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Added To Week 17 Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday following his limited practice. It remains to be seen if Mims' downgrade in practice status is an actual injury that could keep him from playing this Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers or if it's something […]

Courtland Sutton Out Again On Thursday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. Sutton was forced from Denver's Christmas Eve loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday due to a concussion and is now in jeopardy of missing his first game of the […]

Cowboys Defense A Decent Week 17 Choice

The Dallas Cowboys defense is a decent but not top-tier fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. The Cowboys were mostly quiet on defense last week against the Miami Dolphins, allowing just one touchdown but 22 points total and not recording any turnovers and only one sack. The Lions offense has […]

Israel Abanikanda Active For Thursday Night Football

New York Jets rookie running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) is officially active on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns after coming into the game listed as questionable on the final Week 17 injury report. With the Jets playing out the string the last couple weeks, Abanikanda saw a season-high nine carries for 43 yards in […]

Brandon Aubrey An Excellent Week 17 Kicking Option

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is an excellent kicking option in Week 17 fantasy lineups. Aubrey has been excellent and consistent all season and in what should be a high scoring game against the Detroit Lions, he is a top-10 option at fantasy football's least predictable position.

Jake Ferguson A Solid Option In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson is a solid fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Ferguson has developed a strong floor as essentially the WR2 in this offense behind CeeDee Lamb. Ferguson has seen exactly eight targets in each of his past four games, and should be in for a […]

Greg Zuerlein Good To Go Thursday Night

New York Jets kicker Greg Zuerlein (quadriceps), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 17, is officially active for the Thursday night game against the Cleveland Browns. Zuerlein already wasn't much of a fantasy option to begin with coming into this game, and fantasy managers should really be avoiding him in championship matchups […]

Michael Gallup Not A Fantasy Option In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup is not a fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Gallup has made just seven total catches in his past five games, and has scored just two touchdowns all season. The Cowboys passing game runs through CeeDee Lamb with a little help from Brandin Cooks […]

Brandin Cooks A Touchdown-Dependent Risk In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions. Cooks has scored a touchdown in three of his past five games, but has also caught just six passes in his past three games combined. The Cowboys offense should play well against the Lions secondary, […]

Is Amari Cooper Injured or Playing In Week 17? Should I Start Elijah Moore For Fantasy Football?

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is coming off a monster performance in Week 16 against the Houston Texans. The veteran caught 11 of his 15 targets for 265 yards and two touchdowns. Needless to say, he won a ton of fantasy managers matchups in the semifinals of the fantasy playoffs. However, Cooper is banged […]
