BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: On just five targets in Week 12, Seattle Seahawks wideout Tyler Lockett caught three of them for just 30 yards.

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: On nine targets in Week 12, DK Metcalf had just three catches for 32 yards which marked his lowest yardage mark on the season. Metcalf has been a consistent receiver option for fantasy owners but has lacked the touchdown numbers this season as he […]

Rashid Shaheed Out For Second Straight Day

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is not practicing with the team on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Shaheed didn't suffer a long-term injury in the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, but it's serious enough that he's unlikely to play this Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Chris Olave […]

Chris Olave Participating In Practice Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) put in another day of limited practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. It's great news after Olave left to be evaluated for a head injury in the Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and never returned. It's also pretty significant with Michael […]

Sam LaPorta In A Smash Spot Against Saints

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta rebounded from a down Week 11 performance against the Green Bay Packers in Week 12 on Thanksgiving. The rookie caught five passes for 47 yards and secured his fifth touchdown of the year. In Week 13, he'll face the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points […]

Diontae Johnson Out Sick Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (illness) sat out of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Johnson's absence from practice on Thursday has nothing to do with his lack of hustle on a loose ball in the Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. With another day of practice on Friday, there's a good […]

Jameson Williams Remains Touchdown-Dependent Flex

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has hauled in just 12 passes on 23 targets for 184 yards and two touchdowns in seven games this season. Williams has made a few splash plays for the electric Detroit offense, but he continues to struggle to earn targets at a high rate. Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jahmyr Gibbs, […]

Keenan Allen Working Off To The Side Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (quadriceps) is not practicing with the team on Thursday and is instead working off to the side.

Chris Godwin Pops Up On Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) was added to the Week 13 injury report on Thursday after putting in a limited practice.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Has Plenty Of Upside In Tough Week 13 Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has caught 82 passes for 993 yards and five touchdowns in 11 games this season. The third-year pro has remained a fantasy superstar, and he's one of the most consistent fantasy assets in the NFL. St. Brown scored at least 14.2 PPR fantasy points in every game this […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Looks To Get Back On Track Against Saints

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs was on a hot streak from Week 7 to Week 11, finishing no lower than the weekly RB6 (half-PPR) over a four-game stretch.

Jonathan Mingo Limited On Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo (Achilles) was limited in Thursday's practice ahead of the team's Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mingo has had a quiet debut season and given the state of Carolina's weak offense there is little hope down the stretch for a true breakout. In Week 12 he came […]

Jared Goff Seeking Third Straight Multi-Touchdown Game

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has committed at least two turnovers in each of his last two games, but he's also thrown two touchdowns in each of his last three games.
