Noah Fant - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has become more of a TE2 for fantasy managers down the stretch in Denver's low-scoring offense, especially with quarterback Drew Lock set to make his second start in place of the injured Teddy Bridgewater (concussion). However, Fant could have some streaming appeal at his position in Week 17 against […]

Anthony Edwards Available Against Jazz

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards will be available for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He'll return alongside Jarred Vanderbilt and Taurean Prince for Friday's contest. However, head coach Chris Finch mentioned that the team will monitor their conditioning. Edwards can be inserted back into season-long lineups, but he might be risky as a DFS option. His […]

Marcus Smart Active For Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (hand) is listed as active for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He has missed each of the last two games while dealing with a right hand laceration. The Celtics don't plan on having Smart under a minutes limit for Friday's game. He'll be asked to step up with both […]

Jalen Smith To Start On Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He nearly double-doubled on Monday and followed that up with 11 points and 14 rebounds on Wednesday. The Suns are without their main big men, so Smith has been asked to step up. He is making the most […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had one of his better games of late in the Week 16 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, going for four catches on five targets for 33 yards. It just goes to show how bad Sutton has been in the second half of the season. In his last eight […]

Cam Fowler Questionable For Friday

Anaheim Ducks defenseman Cam Fowler (upper body) is considered questionable for Friday's contest against the Golden Knights.

Jerry Jeudy - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy is an excellent route-runner, but the 22-year-old has seen his role diminish towards the end of his second season in the NFL. "It would mean a lot to the whole offense," quarterback Drew Lock said of Jeudy having a day. "You've got a playmaker like that, when you get […]

Alex Pietrangelo Available For Friday's Game

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Alex Pietrangelo has cleared COVID-19 protocols and appears ready to return to the lineup on Friday against the Ducks.

Evgenii Dadonov An Option To Replace Max Pacioretty

Vegas Golden Knights winger Evgenii Dadonov is set to replace Max Pacioretty (wrist) on the top line on Friday against Anaheim. Pacioretty underwent wrist surgery on Thursday and is ruled out indefinitely, so the Russian winger might hang out with the top six for a while. Dadonov himself has just cleared COVID-19 protocols and will […]

Antonio Brown Will Be A Game-Time Decision

Tampa Bay Buccaneers interim head coach Harold Goodwin said that wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) "tweaked" his ankle in practice this week but still has a chance to play in Week 17 against the New York Jets.

Jordan Howard Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said that running back Jordan Howard (neck) is questionable for Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. "He's still got two more days," Sirianni said. The fact that Howard returned to practice on Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion, should mean that he's on the right side of questionable […]

MacKenzie Blackwood Makes His 17th Start

New Jersey Devils goaltender MacKenzie Blackwood will make his 17th start of the season on Friday against Edmonton. He'll have a chance to start building a winning streak after taking down Buffalo 4-3 with 19 saves on Wednesday.

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 12/31 - Monkey Knife Fight

Ten games Friday with an early start between the Suns and Celtics, featuring Devin Booker, Chris Paul, and Jaylen Brown. Jayson Tatum remains out and Brown has scored at least 25 points in his last five games so there's going to be upside as long as he's available. Following that, the Pacers host the Bulls […]

Mike Smith Faces Devils On Friday

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mike Smith will start in Friday's matchup against New Jersey, making his second appearance since returning from a lower-body injury. Smith was back in action for the first time since October earlier in the week and couldn't make a winning return against St. Louis, giving up four goals with 33 shots. Friday's […]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill is coming off of a two-catch, 19-yard performance in Week 16 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers and will look to get back on track versus the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.

Darrel Williams - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (shoulder) missed another practice on Thursday with a collarbone injury and that should open the door for Darrel Williams to draw the start in Week 17 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Mike Williams - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and will return to action in Week 17 versus the Denver Broncos.

Justin Herbert - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

After a rough Week 16 performance, Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will look to get back on track in Week 17 against a tough Denver Broncos defense.

Patrick Mahomes - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has been catching fire for managers at the right time and he will look to continue that success against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17.

Travis Kelce - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and is expected to be back for a Week 17 battle against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Tennessee Titans activated wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.

If Jones isn't able to clear […]

Russell Wilson Vague On His Future In Seattle
