Donovan Mitchell Returns To Action On Friday

Utah Jazz shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (back) is set to return to action on Friday against Minnesota. He's not on the injury report and looks set for a huge game, as Mike Conley (rest) will sit out the contest. Mitchell has averaged 27.7 points, six rebounds and 5.7 assists in games without Conley this season. […]

Nelson Agholor Ruled Out For Week 17

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Agholor will miss his second straight game and remains in the league's concussion protocol. And with Jakobi Meyers (thigh) listed as questionable, N'Keal Harry could have a bigger role in the […]

James O'Shaughnessy Won't Play Against Patriots

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) didn't practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the New England Patriots. The Jaguars tight end depth will really be tested this week, as Dan Arnold, Chris Manhertz and Jacob Hollister are all on the COVID-19 list. The good news is that the […]

Brett Maher - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher isn't a strong option against Carolina in Week 17. The kicker has gone 9-for-10 in field goals and 7-for-8 in extra points in five games with the Saints. The offense for this team hasn't been consistently potent though and that means the opportunities Maher will see vary weekly. The […]

Saints Defense A Great Play Against Carolina In Week 17

The New Orleans Saints defense is a great play in Week 17. This unit has been quite stingy at times this season and has allowed 29 total points in the last three games. Meanwhile, Carolina has been dealing with QB issues and will now start Sam Darnold once again in Week 17. The QB has […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Doubtful, Trey Lance Expected To Start

The San Francisco 49ers listed quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) as doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Houston Texans after he didn't practice all week. Rookie Trey Lance is now expected to make his second start of the season with Garoppolo dealing with a Grade 3 thumb sprain. In his lone start in his […]

Adam Trautman - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman isn't a strong start in Week 17. The TE has shown flashes of potential this season but it has been far from consistent. Last week, he managed a single reception for four yards on two targets. Carolina is somewhat stingy against fantasy tight ends, so it's best to […]

Seven under Seven: DraftKings NFL DFS Pivot Plays for Week 17

The penultimate week of the NFL season is upon us and with no Thursday or Saturday games (or byes), we finally have a full 14-game slate with only four teams not playing on Sunday afternoon. I hope you played a few guys featured in this piece last week as Joe Burrow was the highest-scoring QB […]

Jack Doyle Questionable To Play Sunday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) returned to a full practice on Friday but is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Doyle missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but he has a chance to suit up this weekend after returning to the practice field. The 31-year-old has been […]

Jaret Patterson (RB, WFT) - Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Leagues ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Patterson’s involvement within Washington’s backfield rotation had already been rising due to multiple health issues that had impacted Antonio Gibson and J.D. McKissic. Now, Gibson’s placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list has cleared the runway for Patterson to vault atop the Football Team’s depth […]

Deonte Harris - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris is a flex option in Week 17. The WR was suspended for the previous three games and was placed on the COVID list this week but was able to get off Friday afternoon. Now, Harris will look to play a big role in an offense that is dealing […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is a deep-league flex, at best, in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Callaway has been posting better numbers recently, recording 46 yards last week and 112 in the week prior to that. Nevertheless, the wideout has been very inconsistent all season in a low-volume Saints pass attack. […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown will try to continue his late-season hot streak against the Seahawks in Week 17. The rookie has come on strong over the last month, fulfilling the hype and promise he built up in training camp at the beginning of the season. Over his last four games, St. Brown […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a solid RB1 option in Week 17. The New Orleans offense is currently dealing with a lot of injuries and there aren't many strong options, so Kamara could see more carries as a result. The back posted 52 rushing yards last week and has at least 50 […]

Cole Kmet - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will take on a Giants defense that has allowed the 16th-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Kmet is trying to finish up his second NFL season strong and is averaging 48.8 receiving yards a game over his last seven games played. Kmet also is averaging 7.4 targets over […]

Darnell Mooney - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney will take on a Giants defense in Week 17 that is allowing the 13th most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Mooney is 140 yards short of 1,000 yards this season with two games to play and should see a healthy amount of targets in this game. The […]

Taysom Hill - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is in the streaming conversation as a low-end QB1 for Week 17 against Carolina. Hill missed Week 16 after landing on the COVID list but is expected to be back for this week's contest. The QB hasn't been all that effective in the passing game as he has posted […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Listed As Questionable

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) was unable to practice all week but is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chiefs are refusing to rule out Edwards-Helaire, but he's been facing an uphill battle to play all week and is unlikely to suit up. Darrel Williams, who has […]

Jakeem Grant Sr., Marquise Goodwin Set To Play In Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receivers Jakeem Grant Sr. (concussion) and Marquise Goodwin (illness) were both full participants in Friday's practice and are set to play in Week 17. Having both receivers back on the field will add plenty of speed to a struggling Bears offense but provide very little from a fantasy perspective. Grant Sr. specifically […]

Chargers Put Jared Cook On COVID-19 List

The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Jared Cook on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and he will be out for Week 17 against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) hasn't played since suffering a serious head injury in Week 15, so with both Cook and Parham likely out this weekend, the Chargers […]

Justin Fields Questionable For Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday and veteran passer Andy Dalton has been named the starter for Week 17. The rookie appears to still be banged up enough for the Bears to err on the side of caution with their future franchise passer. He hasn't been officially ruled out […]

Kadarius Toney, John Ross Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receivers Kadarius Toney (shoulder), John Ross (knee) and Collin Johnson (hamstring) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. Darius Slayton was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list earlier this week and Sterling Shepard, C.J. Board and Dante Pettis are on Injured Reserve, so Kenny Golladay is the only […]

David Montgomery - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will go up against a Giants defense that is allowing the eighth most fantasy points to opposing runners. Montgomery is only 10 yards shy of 1,000 all-purpose yards this season and has only played in 11 games so far. He will face a Giants defense that has surrendered 12 […]

Andy Dalton To Start Against Giants

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed on Friday that quarterback Andy Dalton will start in Week 17 against the New York Giants. With rookie Justin Fields (ankle) listed as questionable, Nick Foles, who started and got the win over the Seattle Seahawks last week, will be Dalton's backup. The Bears want Fields fully healthy […]

Bradley Chubb, Seven More Broncos Defenders Go On COVID List

The Denver Broncos placed outside linebacker Bradley Chubb, cornerback Bryce Callahan, linebacker Jonathan Cooper, safety Caden Sterns, defensive lineman Mike Purcell, cornerback Mike Ford, linebacker Andre Mintze and linebacker Stephen Weatherly on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday. None of them will be expected to play in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers defense, leaving […]

Andy Dalton To Start Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton has been named the starter for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Giants. Rookie quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) has been limited in practice the past two weeks and the Bears have decided to err on the side of caution with their future franchise passer. Dalton returns to the lineup […]

Jerry Jeudy Lands On COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos placed wide receiver Jerry Jeudy on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, and receiver Courtland Sutton could be added as well. In addition to Jeudy, the Broncos placed receiver Tyrie Cleveland on the list. If Sutton is added before Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Broncos will basically be missing their […]

Broncos Defense One To Avoid In Week 17

The Denver Broncos defense has been one of the more solid units around the league in the NFL this year. They are currently tied with the New England Patriots for fewest points allowed per game at 17.3, but they check in at No. 20 in overall fantasy points with just 19 total takeaways (six fumble […]

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 17: Myles Gaskin, Duke Johnson, Rashod Bateman

It’s the fantasy football championship week for many fantasy leagues. Most fantasy managers who made it to their championship game know which players from their roster they can rely on. It’s always a smart strategy to start your best players and not get too cute with your lineup. On the contrary, injuries have made things […]
