Gerald Everett A Dicey Start In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett found the end zone last week and will hope to repeat this success in Week 18 against the Denver Broncos. If the Chargers' playoff seeding is determined prior to the start of the contest, however, Everett could be given a reduced role. With a Cincinnati Bengals victory over […]

Gabe Davis A Risky Option Versus Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis is looking to finish his regular season on a positive note. He didn't have the type of season that many expected, but Davis could still finish out the regular season with a bang. Although, it wouldn't be easy against the New England Patriots defense in Week 18. A defensive […]

Joshua Palmer A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Play In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer was held without a catch last week and will be hoping to end the regular season on a high note in a Week 18 matchup with the Denver Broncos. Palmer's opportunities this week are extremely difficult to predict as the team could choose to rest some starters if […]

Jamal Murray Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Cleveland. He has returned from a bad knee injury and the team has managed his workload carefully, with Murray not yet playing both games of a back-to-back this season. However, it appears that this will change with Friday's matchup after […]

Stefon Diggs Remains A WR1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs looks to finish his regular season on a strong note. The superstar wideout will get the New England Patriots defense in Week 18. A defensive unit that struggled to contain the 29-year-old during their first meeting of the season. During that game, Diggs hauled in seven of his nine […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense A Risky Option In Week 18

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' defense has been a solid fantasy unit all season. However, in Week 18, they will be without multiple starters. The team has already ruled out several defensive players for this weekend's matchup against Atlanta, deciding rest was more important heading into the playoffs. Tampa Bay has already clinched the No. 4 […]

Darius Garland Will Play Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (thumb) will rejoin the lineup Friday against Denver. He has missed three games with a sprained right thumb and the team considered him questionable for Friday's contest, but Garland is now officially ready to go. It remains to be seen how much the thumb injury still bothers him. If […]

James Cook Has Flex Value For Week 18

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is heading into a matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 18. A defense that he played well against earlier in the season. The rookie back rushed for 64 yards, while hauling in six receptions for 41 during their Week 13 meeting. The 23-year-old rushed for nearly 100 […]

Devin Singletary A Low-End RB2 For Week 18

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is coming off a 106-yard performance against the Chicago Bears in Week 16. However, he could've lost some momentum with the team hardly playing last week. Regardless, Singletary should be able to produce low-end RB2 value against the New England Patriots in Week 18. A defensive unit that is […]

Kawhi Leonard, Paul George Sit Out Friday's Game

Los Angeles Clippers forwards Kawhi Leonard (knee) and Paul George (hamstring) have been ruled out for Friday's matchup against Minnesota. The duo was already unlikely to play because the team is finishing off a back-to-back set. Leonard hasn't played both games of a back-to-back all year and George has picked up a right hamstring problem […]

Mike Williams A Risky Fantasy Option In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams led the team in receiving last week but could take a backseat in a Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Brandon Staley expressed that the Chargers would make "the appropriate decisions" regarding their starting lineup once the outcome of the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens […]

Keenan Allen Could Have Limited Role In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has been the focal point of the team's passing attack since returning from injury but may not be asked to do much in Week 18 against the Denver Broncos. With the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Ravens facing off at 1 PM EST, Los Angeles' playoff seeding could be […]

Joshua Kelley A Possible Flex Option In Week 18

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley has been given double-digit touches in three straight games and could be in line for a great opportunity against the Denver Broncos in Week 18. If the Cincinnati Bengals win against the Baltimore Ravens early on Sunday, the Chargers will have secured the AFC's fifth seed prior to […]

Adam Engel Joins Padres On One-Year Deal

The San Diego Padres signed free-agent outfielder Adam Engel to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday. Engel became a free agent this offseason when the Chicago White Sox did not tender him a new deal for 2023. The 31-year-old glove-first player comes to San Diego after six years with the Pale Hose in which he […]

Eagles Defense Is A Must-Start Against The Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles defense will take on the division rival New York Giants in Week 18. Minus the 40-point game given up to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16, Philadelphia has been keeping opposing offenses in check for the past five weeks. While they lost last week to New Orleans, it was not due to […]

Austin Ekeler An RB1 If Active

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler has enjoyed a sensational season but may not be asked to do much in the team's Week 18 matchup against the Denver Broncos. The Chargers would be gifted the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs if the Cincinnati Bengals secure a win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. […]

Justin Herbert A Risky Week 18 Option

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will face off against the Denver Broncos for the team's final contest of the regular season. If Herbert suits up, he will certainly be looking to end the season on a high note, but there is a chance the Chargers opt to rest their starters on Sunday as their […]

Dodgers Designate Trevor Bauer For Assignment

The Los Angeles Dodgers designated starting pitcher Trevor Bauer for assignment on Friday. They still have seven days to trade him, but it's hard to imagine that they'd be able to get anything of real value in return. The Dodgers are biting the bullet and will pay the remaining $22.5 million left on Bauer's deal […]

Jake Elliott A Boom-Or-Bust Streamer Against Giants

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will take on the division rival New York Giants in Week 18. The 27-year-old has been extremely hit or miss for fantasy managers over the past six weeks and has not been nearly as busy the past two games with backup quarterback Gardner Minshew under center. However, with the Eagles […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Could Still Return Late In Playoffs

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that the plan remains for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) to be available late in the playoffs. Garoppolo is able to put some weight on his still-healing fractured left foot. A return to the NFC Championship game is the most realistic option for the Niners, assuming they are […]

Dallas Goedert A Mid-Tier TE1 In Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will face the division rival New York Giants in Week 18. The 28-year-old has not been able to play with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) since returning from injury two weeks ago, leading to disappointing fantasy performances. However, Hurts is slated to make his return this week in a […]

DeVonta Smith A High-End WR2 In Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith will take on the division rival New York Giants in Week 18. The fears of the second-year receiver losing targets due to the return of tight end Dallas Goedert have been put to rest after netting 25 over the past two weeks. While this was with backup quarterback Gardner […]

Bills Place Damar Hamlin On Injured Reserve

The Buffalo Bills placed safety Damar Hamlin on the Injured Reserve on Friday. Hamlin had a cardiac arrest on the field on Monday night in the Week 17 game against the Cincinnati Bengals and will not play again this season. The 24-year-old has been fighting for his life all week while in critical condition, but […]

A.J. Brown A WR1 Against The Giants

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will face the division rival New York Giants in Week 18. The 25-year-old has been producing just fine for fantasy managers with backup quarterback Gardner Minshew the past few weeks. However, he appears to be getting back starter Jalen Hurts (shoulder), which is a boost for not only himself […]

Elijah Mitchell To Come Off IR On Saturday

The San Francisco 49ers will activate running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) from Injured Reserve on Saturday to the active roster. Mitchell is expected to be active for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Arizona Cardinals for the first time since Week 12. Because of the long layoff, it's unclear exactly how much Mitchell […]

Tyler Lockett Expected To Play Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that wide receiver Tyler Lockett (shin) "looked good today" in practice on Friday. When asked if he thinks Lockett will play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Los Angeles Rams (he's listed as questionable) on Sunday, Carroll said "oh yeah." Lockett was limited on Friday […]

Larry Nance Jr. Available On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 30-year-old is set to return after missing each of the last four games due to right shoulder soreness. Fellow forward Willy Hernangomez (ankle) is also available for Friday's contest. That means, Jaxson Hayes is likely to see […]

Gordon Hayward Officially Out On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, the veteran forward will sit this game out due to left hamstring soreness. Jalen McDaniels should slide into the starting five with Hayward sidelined. He's averaging 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists over his last five […]

Josh Richardson Available On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable coming into this game due to a quad contusion. It sounds like Richardson is good to go and should see an increased role going forward with Devin Vassell (knee) out indefinitely. Both Richardson and […]

Javonte Green To Miss At Least One Week

Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) is going to be sidelined at least one week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The 29-year-old continues to deal with right knee soreness that will force him to miss the next four games. Patrick Williams stands to gain the most fantasy value with Green on the sideline. He […]
