David Montgomery A Solid RB2 In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has seen his fantasy ceiling take a hit with the emergence of rookie Jahmyr Gibbs, but he still has plenty of value at the tricky RB spot. Gibbs has been electric over the last three weeks, but Montgomery has still handled 51 touches for 236 yards and a touchdown […]

Jahmyr Gibbs A Clear Must-Start Against Cowboys

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs has been on fire in recent weeks, rushing for 246 yards and four rushing touchdowns and catching nine passes for 44 yards and a receiving touchdown over his last three games. Although Dallas has surrendered the 12th-fewest half-PPR fantasy points per game to running backs this season, the rookie […]

Jared Goff Has QB1 Outlook In Tough Week 17 Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a mixed bag for fantasy football over the last three weeks. He threw one touchdown in Week 14, five touchdowns in Week 15, and one touchdown in Week 16. The Lions offense is as consistent as any unit in the NFL, but they have the second-most rushing touchdowns […]

Vikings Going With Jaren Hall At Quarterback In Week 17

The Minnesota Vikings are making another change at quarterback and will start rookie Jaren Hall on Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers in Week 17. It's a bit of a curious move with veteran Nick Mullens throwing for 714 yards and four touchdowns in the last two games, although he did have a costly […]

Kadarius Toney Missing Another Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip) will miss a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Toney missed the Week 16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Christmas Day due to a hip injury and is now firmly in danger of missing a second straight game in Week 17 versus […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Isiah Pacheco Missing From Practice

Kansas City Chiefs running backs Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) and Isiah Pacheco (concussion, shoulder) were both missing from Thursday's practice.

The 24-year-old is now in danger […]

De'Von Achane Returns To Practice

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (toe) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. However, Achane didn't do much after the stretching period with the team, so he'll likely be listed as limited on the final report. The 22-year-old's toe injury is something he's been dealing with for several […]

Tyreek Hill Back On The Field Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session for rest purposes.

Raheem Mostert Misses Another Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) missed a second straight practice on Thursday, although he's expected to play through his injuries in Week 17 on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens.

Jaylen Waddle Remains Sidelined Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) remained sidelined at practice on Thursday. Although Waddle's high-ankle sprain isn't believed to be all that serious, his status for the Week 17 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday is murky, especially if he isn't able to practice on Friday. Fantasy managers playing for a championship this […]

Taylor Decker Good To Go To Face Cowboys

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that left tackle Taylor Decker (groin) will return to practice on Thursday and is good to go for the Week 17 game on Saturday against the Dallas Cowboys. Decker opened up the week with a limited practice showing on Tuesday before sitting out on Wednesday, but the fact […]

Ja'Marr Chase Unlikely To Play In Week 17?

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) did not practice with the team on Wednesday as he continues to deal with a separated right shoulder that he suffered in the Week 15 overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. Chase's injury has a two- to four-week timetable, so NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said he'd be surprised […]

NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Week 17 Daily Fantasy Football Picks

Hand-building 10-12 stacks every week might be the most fun I have playing NFL DFS. Yes, I play cash games, and there is a certain science that goes into that as well, but eating the chalk and trying to anticipate what everyone else is going to do in cash games simply isn't all that much […]

Riley Patterson Joins Browns Active Roster

The Cleveland Browns elevated kicker Riley Patterson from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster for Thursday night's contest against the New York Jets.

Raheem Mostert Expected To Play Through Ankle Injury

Miami Dolphins running backs coach Eric Studesville expects running back Raheem Mostert (ankle) to play through his new ankle injury in the Week 17 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Mostert has played through injuries all year, so this is nothing new for the NFL's leader in total touchdowns with 21 (18 rushing, three receiving). The […]

Trevor Lawrence Returns To Limited Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who suffered a sprained AC joint in his right throwing shoulder in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. "If Trevor plays, we're all-in on that. If C.J. Beathard plays, […]
