Stefon Diggs Out Sick Thursday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Stefon Diggs (illness) will not practice on Thursday due to an illness.

Tyler Lockett Officially A DNP On Wednesday

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (finger) was officially listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice despite the fact that head coach Pete Carroll said that Lockett "did everything" during the team's walkthrough practice and "looked great." The 30-year-old had surgery to fix a fractured left hand and miss the Week […]

Teagan Quitoriano Not Practicing

Houston Texans rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano (knee, quadriceps) isn't taking part in Thursday's practice after suffering a hyperextended right knee in the Week 16 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Christian Watson Will Be Limited Thursday

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) will be limited in Thursday's practice after he missed Wednesday's session, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.

Antonio Gibson Missing Another Practice Thursday

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson (foot, knee) is missing another day of practice on Thursday. The Commanders don't seem to think Gibson's injury is very serious, but two missed practices to begin the weeks says otherwise, leaving his status for the Week 17 game against the Cleveland Browns very much in doubt. If the […]

Cam Akers May Stick Around In LA

The Los Angeles Rams tried and failed to trade running back Cam Akers earlier this year after a mutual disagreement about his role.

Tony Pollard's Status Very Much In Doubt

The status of Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (thigh) is very much in doubt for the Thursday night game against the Tennessee Titans.

While the Nets have been on this 10-game win streak, Durant has averaged […]

Avoid Saints Defense This Weekend

The New Orleans Saints defense has been a contributing factor to the two-game win streak that the team is on, having not allowed more than 20 points since Week 9 against Baltimore. Despite the hot stretch, it has not always translated to fantasy points, as they have only forced four turnovers in the last six […]

Do Not Play Wil Lutz In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz has not converted a field goal above 40 yards since the Week 11 win over the Los Angeles Rams. With the Saints' offense struggling and the Philadelphia Eagles' defense soaring, this could be another tough outing fantasy-wise for Lutz. Philadelphia has surrendered the fourth-least amount of points to the […]

Taysom Hill Could See Less Usage In Week 17

New Orleans Saints tight end/gadget player Taysom Hill enjoyed a solid outing in Week 16, rushing for 56 yards and a touchdown on nine carries. Hill saw increased rushing usage due to the inclimate temperatures that the game was being played in. This week, the Saints go on the road to play the Philadelphia Eagles. […]

Juwan Johnson Remains Touchdown-Dependent

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson disappointed fantasy managers in last week's win over Cleveland, hauling in just one reception for nine yards. Johnson can be thrust into lineups this week as a touchdown-dependent play given that he has seven scores since Week 7. The matchup this week is not intriguing, as Philadelphia has […]

Rashid Shaheed Faces Tough Matchup In Week 17

New Orleans Saints rookie receiver Rashid Shaheed has led the offense in receiving metrics over the last few weeks. The Saints have looked for ways to get the ball into the hands of the 24-year-old speedster, who has stepped into a WR2 role in the offense. Shaheed draws a tough matchup this week against an […]

Chris Olave A WR3 Candidate If He Plays

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) missed out on last week's game against Cleveland but returned to practice in limited fashion on Wednesday. This return is a step in the right direction for the rookie, as he did not practice all last week prior to missing the game. If he is good to […]

Alvin Kamara Could Struggle In Week 17

New Orleans Saints veteran running back Alvin Kamara scored his first touchdown since Week 8 in last weekend's win over Cleveland. The 27-year-old could return to his struggling ways on fantasy championship weekend against an Eagles defense allowing the 14th least points to running backs. The Eagles have limited weak offenses all season long, and […]

Stay Away From Andy Dalton In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton will lead the team on the road in Philadelphia in a must-win game to keep playoff hopes alive. Dalton and the Saints are coming off of two straight wins, but winning in Philly against the top team in the league is a tall task. The veteran signal caller went […]

Rui Hachimura Ties Career-High In Win Over Suns

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura hit the 30-point mark for the third time in his career on Wednesday night.

This was his third double-double and third 40-point game of the […]

Kendall Hinton Returns To Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The 25-year-old practiced for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 14. He will look to ramp up his activity during the week and is trending in the right direction toward suiting up Sunday against the Chiefs. Hinton […]

Browns Defense A Mid-Range Option In Week 17

The Cleveland Browns defense will head on the road to face off against the Washington Commanders in Week 17. Washington will turn back to Week 1 starter Carson Wentz after they benched Taylor Heinicke during a Week 16 loss. Wentz has thrown six interceptions in seven games in 2022. Overall, Washington's offense has been a […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Drops 40-Point Double-Double In Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo collected his fifth 40-point double-double of this season alone. Despite the overtime loss to the Chicago Bulls, the former MVP tallied 45 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, and one block while shooting 17-for-39 from the floor and 11-for-17 from the free-throw line. The only drawback of Giannis in fantasy basketball […]

Cade York A Low-End Fantasy Option In Week 17

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York has made 23 of his 31 field-goal attempts in his rookie season. In Week 17, York will head on the road to face off against the Washington Commanders. Washington has been solid against kickers this season, allowing the 17th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. York has […]

Tony Pollard A Game-Time Decision For Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (thigh) is a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
