Allen Lazard Out Sick Thursday, Randall Cobb Active

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (illness) is inactive for the Week 17 game on Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns after coming into the game listed as questionable to play.

Deuce Vaughn Could Have A Role In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Deuce Vaughn could have a role in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (knee), who was listed as questionable to play on Thursday night, is officially active and will suit up to face the visiting New York Jets.

Tony Pollard Looks For A Bounce-Back Performance In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will look for a bounce back game in a Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Amari Cooper Inactive On Thursday Night

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (heel) is surprisingly inactive for the Thursday night game in Week 17 against the New York Jets.

Dak Prescott A Strong Week 17 Option

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a strong fantasy option in a Week 17 game against the Detroit Lions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 […]

Ezekiel Elliott Under The Weather Thursday

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott (illness) was out sick at practice on Thursday.

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.

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.
