BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of Leagues ANALYSIS: After many weeks of underwhelming play, Derek Carr has seemingly acclimated to his surroundings in New Orleans and is performing well.

Jacoby Brissett To Start In Week 17

Washington Commanders quarterback Jacoby Brissett will make his first start of the year in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Cam Robinson Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

The Jacksonville Jaguars have designated offensive tackle Cam Robinson (knee) to return from Injured Reserve, the team announced on Wednesday.

He played in seven games before going on IR. With Trevor Lawrence […]

Jusuf Nurkic Likely To Return On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (personal) looks poised to return to the court Wednesday versus Houston. He's sat out the last two games for personal reasons but is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup. Nurkic has been a double-double machine while offering two-way value for fantasy managers. He's averaging 12.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists, […]

Kaiir Elam Activated From Injured Reserve

Buffalo Bills cornerback Kaiir Elam (foot) was activated from the Injured Reserve list on Wednesday.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Questionable Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo is considered questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Brooklyn. The former MVP could be unavailable for a second time this season following a 39-minute Christmas outing against the Knicks. Bobby Portis always gets a boost when one of Milwaukee's starters isn't available, while Damian Lillard and Khris Middleton are set for […]

Bengals Open 21-Day Window For Cam Taylor-Britt To Return

The Cincinnati Bengals opened the 21-day practice window for cornerback Cam Taylor-Britt (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve. The second-year pro was placed on IR on December 4 after suffering an ankle injury in practice.

Joe Ingles Could Miss A Sixth Consecutive Game

Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) remains on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's battle with the 76ers, with the team listing him as questionable. The 36-year-old missed a fifth consecutive game on Tuesday versus Washington. The injuries have steadily piled up for the Magic, resulting in a couple of starters getting close to 40 […]

Texans Claim Kareem Jackson Off Waivers

The Houston Texans claimed veteran safety Kareem Jackson off waivers after he was released by the Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old has notably been fined and suspended multiple times this year for illegal hits and unnecessary roughness. However, his latest suspension was for four games, and he has already missed each of the last five games. […]

Jonathan Isaac Listed As Questionable Wednesday

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (hamstring) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Philadelphia. Orlando is finishing a back-to-back, and Isaac didn't play Tuesday versus Washington. The injury-prone forward has averaged only 13.6 minutes for the season and isn't a big miss from the rotation. However, with Gary Harris (calf) on the injury report […]

Gary Harris Questionable Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Gary Harris (calf) is questionable for Wednesday's tilt against Philadelphia. Following Tuesday's 19-minute shift versus Washington, Harris has landed on the injury report with a right calf strain. After Jalen Suggs returned to the lineup, Harris was back in a bench role against the Wizards, contributing three points. Cole Anthony should see […]

Nicolas Batum Misses Fourth Consecutive Game

Philadelphia 76ers forward Nicolas Batum (hamstring) has been ruled out for a fourth consecutive game ahead of the team's visit to Orlando. Batum's numbers haven't been anything special this season, but he's been a starter for Philadelphia, and the team definitely misses his presence. Kelly Oubre Jr. has moved into the starting unit in Batum's […]
