San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has a plus matchup against the weak Las Vegas Raiders defense. The Raiders rank 23rd in the league in points allowed and 25th in yards.

Brock Purdy Faces Weak Pass Defense In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has a favorable matchup in Week 17 against the poor Las Vegas Raiders defense.

However, the NFC […]

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert will look to finish his season strong over the final two games and that quest will begin in Week 17 against the Lions.

Can David Montgomery Deliver Against Lions?

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will face a Lions defense in Week 17 that is allowing the 12th fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

Justin Fields Takes QB1 Value Into Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will look to finish his season on a high note over his final two games, beginning with a matchup against the Lions in Week 17.

Patrick Williams Upgraded To Probable Against Pistons

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (clavicle) is expected to play on Friday as the team officially listed him as probable. He currently is dealing with a left clavicle contusion, but it seems like it's not bothering him enough to keep him off of the court. Williams has produced some great defensive and rebounding numbers lately […]

Ben Simmons Will Likely Play On Saturday Against Charlotte

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (illness) has been listed as probable to play in the team's game against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday.

Rudy Gobert Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (illness) is suffering from a non-COVID illness and the team has listed him as questionable for their contest against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.

Jonnu Smith Won't Play Against The Dolphins

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (concussion) won't play in Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He exited the Week 16 loss to the Bengals with a concussion and did not return.

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (calf) wasn't able to suit up a couple of days ago against the Brooklyn Nets, but his absence will stop there as he was listed as available for the team's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night. The superstar guard will return to a mostly healthy backcourt in […]

Ashton Dulin, Kylen Granson Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Ashton Dulin (concussion) and tight end Kylen Granson (ankle) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the New York Giants.

Darren Waller A Risky TE Play In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had a promising performance in his second game back from injury last week, leading the team in catches and receiving yards against the Steelers. Unfortunately, his stat line was only good enough to land him as the TE14 in Week 16 (half-PPR scoring). Waller is unlikely to surpass […]

Miles Sanders Good To Go Against Saints

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) put in a full practice on Friday and will enter Sunday's Week 17 meeting with the New Orleans Saints without an injury designation. Sanders was rested on Wednesday and was limited in practice on Thursday. Philly will be without MVP candidate Jalen Hurts (shoulder) for a second straight […]

Mack Hollins A Dart-Throw Flex Play In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins faces off against the San Francisco 49ers at home in Week 17. In the two games since tight end Darren Waller's return, Hollins is averaging five targets and 23.5 receiving yards with one touchdown while still hitting 88% of the offensive snaps or more. The 29-year-old will likely […]

Hunter Renfrow A Low-End Flex Play In Week 17

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow will look to build on last week's promising performance in a tough test against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 17.

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17 action on Sunday.

Jalen Hurts Doubtful For Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday, but he'll head into the Week 17 game on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints with a doubtful tag. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fantasy managers after Hurts sprained his right shoulder in Week 15. This will […]

Gardner Minshew Saw Most Of The QB Reps This Week

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Gardner Minshew received most of the QB repetitions at practice this week with Jalen Hurts (shoulder) battling a sprained right shoulder that kept him out of the Week 16 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, according to several players.
