Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Another Stellar Showing On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo helped his team snap a four-game skid by amassing a huge double-double on Friday against Minnesota.

Russell Westbrook Notches Double-Double Versus Atlanta

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook finished with a double-double in Friday's win over Atlanta. The former MVP amassed 14 points, going 6-for-12 from the field while adding 11 rebounds, one steal, and one block. As usual, Westbrook came off the bench. However, he still logged nearly 30 minutes of work, more than some starters […]

Thomas Bryant Has A Big Night Against Atlanta

Los Angeles Lakers center Thomas Bryant played well in Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. The big man helped LeBron James celebrate his birthday by amassing a double-double, courtesy of a 19-point, 17-rebound effort. Anthony Davis (foot) is out for the foreseeable future, meaning Bryant should continue to fill his spot in the lineup. He […]

LeBron James Scores 47 Points On His Birthday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James celebrated his 38th birthday by scoring 47 points in Friday's win over the Hawks. He looked good, going 18-for-27 from the field and 4-for-6 from downtown while adding 10 boards, nine assists, and a block. The multi-time All-Star did have five turnovers. However, that's not surprising, considering how much […]

Should I Start The Buccaneers DST in Week 17? Fantasy Football Team Defenses

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have not played at a playoff level this season, but they are one win away from making the playoffs anyway. So why do the Bucs have a losing record as they head into Week 17? Tom Brady is averaging fewer yards per pass than he has over his two-decade-long career. WR […]

Let's take a look at our Week 17 fantasy football defense (D/ST) rankings, as of December 31sr. […]

Broncos Defense Well Off The Fantasy Map Against Chiefs

The Denver Broncos defense/special teams unit definitely cannot be trusted in a Week 17 matchup with the high-scoring Kansas City Chiefs offense, especially after allowing 51 points and 388 total yards to quarterback Baker Mayfield and the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16. On the season, Denver's D has been one of the stingier units […]

Eric Saubert Set For Bigger Role Entering Week 17

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert should start and be the team's primary pass-catching tight end for the final two games of the season after the Broncos placed rookie Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday. Behind Dulcich, Saubert has been the Broncos' second-leading tight end this year in catches (12), targets (21) and […]

Chargers Defense A Streaming Option In Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers defense/special teams posted its best fantasy performance of the season last week, recording seven sacks and three interceptions in a 20-3 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Another enticing matchup awaits the Chargers in Week 17 as they will face the Los Angeles Rams, who have averaged just 18.7 points per game […]

Antti Raanta Nails Down His Second Straight Shutout

Carolina Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta recorded his second straight shutout in a 4-0 win over the Florida Panthers Friday. He turned away 19 Florida shots in the victory. Raanta has been on fire, winning his last seven outings. As a result, the veteran netminder stock is rising as he is rostered in 42 percent of […]

Cameron Dicker A Reliable Option In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker has missed just one field goal attempt on the season and will remain a dependable option for a Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Dicker's fantasy output has not been prolific as of late with the Chargers' offense averaging just 20 points per game over the past […]

Gerald Everett Difficult To Trust In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett did not receive a target from quarterback Justin Herbert last week but will hope to get involved in a Week 17 bout with the Los Angeles Rams. From Weeks 13 through 15, Everett averaged over six targets and almost five receptions per game, so it was a bit […]

Joshua Palmer A Risky WR4 In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer has seen his snap percentage decrease in four consecutive weeks and will hope to bounce back in a Week 17 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. Although Palmer has displayed his ability as a solid contributor at numerous points this season, his target volume has become too unpredictable […]

Mike Williams Could Bounce Back In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams has taken a backseat to teammate Keenan Allen in recent weeks but should remain efficient with his opportunities in a Week 17 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. Williams is averaging an impressive 14.79 yards per catch on the season as the big-play threat on the Chargers' offense. […]

Brent Burns Collects Two Assists Friday

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brent Burns tallied two assists Friday in a 4-0 victory over the Florida Panthers. Burns added a shot on goal and blocked one shot in the Hurricanes win. The Barrie, Ontario, native has produced four assists in the last four contests. Burns seems to be the right fit in Carolina, as he […]

Keenan Allen A Locked-In WR1 In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen is averaging a whopping 11 targets per game since returning from injury in Week 11 and should continue to be the primary option for quarterback Justin Herbert in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams. Allen's incredible target volume gives him one of the highest floors of all […]

Joshua Kelley Lacks Fantasy Appeal In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers running back Joshua Kelley has been given double-digit touches in two straight contests and will hope to remain involved in a Week 17 bout with the Los Angeles Rams. With Austin Ekeler (knee) cleared to play on Sunday, Kelley will resume his role as the primary backup and should be expected to […]

Jack Hughes Strikes Twice In Devils Win

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes lit the lamp two times in a 4-2 win over the Penguins Friday. Hughes has had a phenomenal season, netting 18 goals and 21 assists in 35 Devils contests. The Orlando, Florida, native has logged four goals and one assist in the last five games. New Jersey is 2-7-1 […]

Justin Herbert A Low-End QB1 In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert has thrown for just two touchdowns in his past four games and will hope to get back on track against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. Despite a lack of scoring through the air, the Chargers have won three straight contests and could continue to rely on running […]

Panthers Defense Not On Fantasy Radar In Week 17

The Carolina Panthers defense has surrendered at least 23 points in three straight contests and will need to step up on the road in a critical divisional showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Although Tampa Bay has averaged just 17.7 points per game this season, it is hard to rely upon the […]

Eddy Pineiro Looks To Keep Rolling In Week 17

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has performed as a top-three fantasy kicker since Week 12 and will hope to keep his perfect streak alive in a Week 17 matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although Tampa Bay allows just over 20 points per game this season, Pineiro has proven to be a dependable option and […]

Chuba Hubbard Worth Flex Consideration In Week 17

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard posted a career-high in rushing yardage last week and will look to keep the momentum going in a Week 17 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although Hubbard was not targeted as a receiving option in Week 16, the 23-year-old still out-snapped D'Onta Foreman and maintained his role as […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Can't Be Trusted In Week 17

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. has eclipsed 50 yards receiving in two straight games and will hope to stay involved in a Week 17 bout with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Marshall has not earned more than three targets in a game since Week 11 but has established himself as Carolina's WR2 with big-play […]

DJ Moore A Low-End WR2 In Week 17

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore has scored and posted at least 73 receiving yards in two consecutive games and will look to keep rolling against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. Moore, who was an extremely inconsistent fantasy option for the first 11 weeks of the season, has finished as a top 20 […]
