Robert Williams III Stuffs The Stat Sheet Versus Cleveland

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III rocked the Cavaliers on Wednesday with a career-high 21 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and two blocks. He missed only two of his 12 shots from the field in 34 minutes of action. This was a huge comeback game from Williams III after he missed Monday's loss […]

Week 16 IDP Fantasy Football Rankings

Before you even ask, yes, we are aware that our COVID-centered intros are becoming a bit of a broken record. That said, we must keep coming back to this particular record because it continues to be the biggest factor in fantasy football right now.

Tony Pollard Puts In A Limited Practice

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) was limited in Wednesday's practice session. Pollard returned from a torn plantar fascia in his left foot in Week 15 against the New York Giants and had 12 carries for 74 yards while catching all three of his targets for an additional 13 yards in the victory. He […]

Curtis Samuel Listed As Limited Wednesday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Samuel didn't play in Week 15, so he'll likely need to actually practice later this week for the team to feel comfortable throwing him out there on Sunday night against the Dallas Cowboys. The 25-year-old has had a […]

Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Due To Toe Injury

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) didn't see the practice field on Wednesday due to a toe injury that he suffered in Tuesday night's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Gibson left the game but returned, so hopefully that means he'll be able to play in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday […]

Zay Jones Misses Practice Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Zay Jones (toe) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a toe injury. We'll have a better idea in the coming days if his toe injury is serious enough to keep him out in Week 16 against the Denver Broncos. The 26-year-old had season-highs in catches (six), targets (nine) […]

Josh Jacobs Out Sick Wednesday

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (illness) missed practice on Wednesday due to an illness. Jacobs isn't on the COVID-19, but his status bears watching as the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos approaches on Sunday. As long as Jacobs gets on the practice field later this week, he should be considered likely […]

Darren Waller Remains Out Of Practice

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (back, knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday. Waller hasn't practiced or played since Thanksgiving, so his fantasy managers must continue to have a backup plan in place in case he can't play this Sunday against the Denver Broncos. Whenever Waller gets back on the field, he'll immediately […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Limited Thursday

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (knee) was limited in the team's first practice on Wednesday with a knee ailment. It doesn't seem like too serious of an injury for the 23-year-old, so unless he misses a practice later this week, Albert O should be active this weekend against the Las Vegas Raiders. Okwuegbunam remains […]

Courtland Sutton Limited With Wrist Injury

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. The fact that Sutton is practicing to begin the week is a good sign, but we'll continue to keep an eye on him as the team prepares for a divisional clash with the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16. The 26-year-old wideout […]

Javonte Williams Remains On The Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie running back Javonte Williams (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Williams was limited all last week and was questionable, but he was never in any danger of missing the game. The near-even timeshare between Williams and Gordon should continue in a good matchup in Week 16 against […]

Melvin Gordon III Idle To Begin The Week

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) didn't practice to begin the practice week on Wednesday. As long as Gordon can get back on the practice field within the next few days, he should be able to play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. He and rookie Javonte Williams each saw 15 […]

Ronald Jones II (RB, TB) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 38% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Well, it looks like Ronald Jones II is going to get his chance... again. Leonard Fournette has had an incredible season, but unfortunately is dealing with an injury that will likely keep him out for several weeks. After leaving last week's game with […]

Craig Reynolds (RB, DET) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The NFL is an unpredictable sport, and fantasy football is an unpredictable game. Exhibit A is Craig Reynolds, who has pretty much come out of nowhere to become a relevant running back for the Lions and fantasy managers. For the 2nd week […]

Justin Jackson (RB, LAC) - Fantasy Football Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Last week Austin Ekeler was dealing with an injury, so Justin Jackson received more touches than usual in the Thursday Night game against the Chiefs, racking up 13 carries for 86 yards. Firmly established as the number two running back on the Chargers, […]

Titans Defense- Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Tennessee Titans special teams/defense has allowed 19 points or less in four straight games and will look to continue their solid play against the San Francisco 49ers. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the 49ers having a team-implied total of 23.5. The Titans have allowed 329 total […]

Randy Bullock - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock has converted at least two field goals in three of his last five games. The 32-year-old has drilled 22-of-26 field-goal attempts while converting 32-of-35 extra-point tries. Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers has an over/under 40 points, with the Titans having a team-implied total of 20.5. Bullock has scored […]

Geoff Swaim - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans' tight end Geoff Swaim has been limited to one catch in three of his last four games. He continues to lead Tennessee's tight ends in snaps but isn't heavily utilized in the passing game as the veteran owns just 8% of the team's target share. The 28-year-old has caught 24 passes for 189 […]

Gordon Hayward Will Return To Action Thursday

Charlotte Hornets small forward Gordon Hayward (back) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup vs. Denver. Hayward missed his first game of the year Monday due to a back ailment, which allowed Kelly Oubre Jr. to slide into the starting five. Hayward racked up sizable minutes totals to begin December, but […]

Devin Bush Placed On COVID-19 List

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Devin Bush was the latest Steelers player to land on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Bush is the team's starting inside linebacker, so the Steelers atrocious run defense could be even more compromised in Week 16 against the powerful Kansas City Chiefs offense. The 10th overall pick of the 2019 draft had […]

Obi Toppin Clears COVID-19 Protocols, Will Return To Team

New York Knicks power forward Obi Toppin has exited the league's health and safety protocols, paving the way for a return to action. Toppin has missed each of New York's last five games, so a return as soon as Thursday against Washington may be optimistic. In his final outing before landing in the protocols, Toppin […]

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine led the team in targets and yards in the Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is expected to serve as the Titans WR3 against the San Francisco 49ers, with wideouts A.J. Brown (chest) and Julio Jones (hamstring) expected to play Thursday Night. The 24-year-old has scored two […]

Pat Freiermuth Out With Concussion Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Freiermuth is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for this Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. […]
