Rashaad Penny - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny has been up and down in his time as the lead back, but he's in a strong spot in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions. Penny has had at least double-digit touches in each of his last four games, and he's scored double-digit fantasy points in two of his […]

Russell Wilson - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson could be playing out his last games with the team that drafted him, and he has a solid matchup in Week 17 against the Detroit Lions to put up a good performance. Wilson has put up 16 or more fantasy points in four of his last five games, and he […]

Caris LeVert Carries On Bizarre 27-Point Streak

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Caris LeVert somehow managed to record 27 points for a third consecutive game on Friday, shooting 11-for-22 from the field in a losing effort against Chicago. He was 1-for-5 from outside and 4-for-7 at the line, adding six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block with three turnovers in 37 […]

Laquon Treadwell - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laquon Treadwell is a risky, but interesting WR4/5 play against the Patriots in Week 17. The former first-round bust has been surprisingly consistent dating back to Week 12, as he's managed at least four catches and 50 receiving yards in every contest since. New England has been a very tough matchup […]

Coby White Nets 24 Points Against Pacers

Chicago Bulls point guard Coby White matched his season high with 24 points in Friday's nail-biting 108-106 win over Indiana. He was on fire from downtown with a 6-for-7 effort and shot 7-for-11 overall from the field with a 4-for-5 record at the foul line. White made himself useful all over the place, notching two […]

Should I Start D'Andre Swift In Week 17? Is D'Andre Swift Playing This Week?

It's Week 17, the fantasy football championships for most leagues. With so many injuries and COVID-19 situations to deal with, it's critical to stay on top of the latest fantasy football injury news and be in a position to start the right players. Let's check in on the injuries for the Detroit Lions running backs […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. is a low upside WR5 play against New England in Week 17. Shenault was on the Covid list last week, but he's set to return in a tough matchup. The Patriots have allowed the NFL's fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season, and Jacksonville has a pathetic […]

DeMar DeRozan Leads Bulls To Victory On Friday

Chicago Bulls forward DeMar DeRozan posted a game-high 28 points and finished off the job with a game-winning triple at the buzzer in Friday's 108-106 win over Indiana. He had a poor shooting performance with an 8-for-24 effort from the field but made the most important shot. It was his only made triple with three […]

Brandon Ingram Questionable Against Bucks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Pelicans desperately need their star forward back, but he continues to deal with lingering Achilles soreness. At least, Josh Hart (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's contest. He'd be asked to step up and have […]

Is Brandin Cooks Playing This Week? Should I Start Brandin Cooks In Week 17?

Week 17 has arrived, and with that comes all sorts of injuries to deal with on top of plenty of COVID chaos, all of which has made setting fantasy football lineups really tricky. This is the fantasy championship week for most fantasy football leagues, so it's crunch time, and making the correct start/sit decisions can […]

Khris Middleton Not Available For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This seemingly came out of nowhere and it's uncertain if he'll return in time for Monday's contest. In the meantime, Grayson Allen, Pat Connaughton and Donte DiVincenzo will be asked to do more in the rotation. None […]

Cameron Johnson Impresses Against Boston

Phoenix Suns small forward Cameron Johnson closed out 2021 with a very good performance on Friday, recording 20 points, five rebounds, one assist and two steals in a 123-108 loss to Boston. He shot 8-for-15 from the field and 4-or-9 from downtown, while logging 34 minutes as a starter. The Suns have lost a couple […]

Marvin Jones Jr. - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marvin Jones Jr. is a dicey WR4 play against the Patriots in Week 17. On one hand, Jones has gone over 70 receiving yards with six or more catches in two of his last three games, but on the other hand, his matchup is a near worst-case scenario and he hasn't […]

Robert Williams III Has A Triple-Double, Five Blocks On Friday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III made a big impact in Friday's win over the Suns, posting his first career triple-double with 10 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists while swatting away five shots. He also had two steals and finished with a perfect 5-for-5 shooting from the field. This is a very unique line […]

Tre'Quan Smith Out, Lil'Jordan Humphrey Questionable

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (chest) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Receivers Lil'Jordan Humphrey (illness) and Ty Montgomery (back) were listed as questionable. Neither Humphrey nor Montgomery were able to practice on Friday, putting their status in question this weekend. The good […]

Joe Ingles Won't Play On Friday

Utah Jazz forward Joe Ingles (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He is dealing with a lower back strain, so the Jazz are likely being cautious given it's the front end of a back-to-back set. Mike Conley (rest) will also sit this one out, so Donovan Mitchell will be […]

James Conner Questionable To Face The Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (heel) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. Conner missed the first two practice days this week, but his limited showing on Friday at least gives him a chance to suit up on Sunday. The 26-year-old missed […]

Marcus Smart Returns With A Season-High 24 Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart returned from a two-game absence with a very good performance on Friday against Phoenix, shooting 10-for-18 from the field to notch a season-high 24 points with nine rebounds and three assists in 39 minutes on the court. Smart usually doesn't have a big offensive role, but the team is currently […]

Kemba Walker A Late Scratch On Friday

New York Knicks guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He was expected to start and have a big role with Julius Randle out due to COVID-19 protocols. However, Walker will be a late scratch due to left knee soreness. Instead, Evan Fournier will move into […]

Dare Ogunbowale - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Dare Ogunbowale is a borderline RB2 play against the New England Patriots in Week 17. With James Robinson (Achilles) and Carlos Hyde (concussion) both out for the season, Ogunbowale projects for a bell-cow workload in a plus matchup. New England's defense has been strong all year long, but they funnel fantasy […]

Elijah Mitchell Questionable To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 17. Mitchell is trending toward returning to action this weekend after missing the last three games. The 23-year-old was a high-end RB2 as the team's […]

Jarrett Allen To Start Versus Hawks

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will return to the starting five for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He has already cleared the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and needed to regain his conditioning. Allen was listed as probable previously, but the Cavs feel he's ready to return. Fantasy managers should expect Allen to […]

Scottie Barnes Ruled Out Against Clippers

Toronto Raptors guard Scottie Barnes (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This marks his third game on the sidelines as he continues to deal with right knee tendinitis. Luckily, Fred VanVleet and OG Anunoby are available for Friday's game. Both players should help fill the void with Barnes […]

John Gibson Pushes Away 42 Pucks In A Losing Effort

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson stood on his head with 42 saves against Vegas on Friday, but it still wasn't enough to get a win on board. It took the Ducks 59 minutes and 48 seconds to finally get a goal in a 3-1 loss. Gibson was the busiest in the second period when he […]

Trevor Lawrence - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence should be avoided in all one-QB formats against the New England Patriots in Week 17. Lawrence hasn't thrown more than one touchdown pass since Week 1, and he's surpassed 15 fantasy points just four times all season long. Additionally, the Patriots have been elite against opposing quarterbacks this season, allowing […]

Chris Conley Questionable For Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 17 against the San Francisco 49ers. Conley played in last week's surprising win over the Los Angeles Chargers and had three catches for 60 yards and a touchdown, so there's a good chance he'll play […]

Evan Fournier Will Play Versus Thunder

New York Knicks guard Evan Fournier (ankle) will play during Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has been dealing with right ankle soreness, but will play through it here. His fantasy value should be on the rise with Julius Randle in COVID-19 protocols. The Knicks are going to have to find someone to […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Available Against Lakers

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. is available for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Smith has cleared COVID-19 protocols and is allowed to return to the court. That being said, he could have an increased role due to the fact Anfernee Simons is in protocols. He won't see enough minutes to warrant […]

Nicolas Roy Extends Point Streak With A Goal

Vegas Golden Knights forward Nicolas Roy opened the scoring in Friday's 3-1 win over Anaheim, extending his point streak to three games. The 24-year-old had three shots on goal and produced five more efforts that failed to hit the target. Roy has enjoyed a strong campaign as the third-line center for Vegas, going for seven […]
