Spencer Dinwiddie Not Available Against The Cavs

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie has entered COVID-19 health and safety protocols and will not be available against the Cavaliers. Fortunately, Bradley Beal is back after a three-game absence because of the same designation, and with Raul Neto on the protocols' list as well, he should handle most of the ball-handling duties versus Cleveland on […]

Another Missed Practice For Jared Goff

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is trending towards his second straight missed game after missing another day of practice on Thursday. Goff has yet to practice this week after missing last week's game due to COVID-19. Unless he gets back on the practice field on Friday, it'll likely be Tim Boyle leading the Detroit […]

Antti Raanta Heads Out For His Eighth Start

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Antti Raanta will record his eighth start of the season in Thursday's very favorable matchup against the struggling Canadiens, looking to improve a 4-2-1 record. Raanta has flipped between wins and losses all season and he was defeated by the Canucks in his last start, so history is pointing towards a victory […]

Mark Ingram II Pops Up On Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II (knee) was added to the Week 17 injury report on Thursday when he practiced on a limited basis. Ingram has dealt with knee issues this year -- he missed the Thanksgiving game with a knee injury -- and the fact that he was merely limited on Thursday […]

Malcolm Subban Gets His Third Sabres Start

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Malcolm Subban will make his third start of the season on Thursday against the Islanders. Things haven't worked out well for the 28-year-old so far, as he enters the matchup with a 0-1-1 record. Subban had a shocker in his debut, giving up six goals on 25 shots against Carolina, before frustrating […]

Greg Zuerlein - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein is a solid choice for Week 17 fantasy lineups. The Cowboys will be taking on the Arizona Cardinals in what should be a relatively high scoring game. Zuerlein kicked eight extra points in Week 16 but didn't have a chance to kick a field goal. He should have fewer extra […]

Bradley Beal Will Return Versus Cleveland

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal will return on Thursday evening against the Cavs. The veteran has missed his previous three outings because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols and had been riding a questionable tag heading into the contest against a Cleveland team that recently lost Ricky Rubio (knee) for the year. Unquestionably, the Wizards […]

Dalton Schultz - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz dropped off the fantasy radar for a little bit but he's moved back into the TE1 ranks over the past two weeks and will look for a third week in a row in Week 17 against the Arizona Cardinals. Schultz was the TE5 in Week 15 and the TE2 […]

Tre'Quan Smith, Ty Montgomery Miss Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Tre'Quan Smith (chest) and Ty Montgomery (back) both missed practice on Thursday. It was Smith's second straight day on the sidelines, while Montgomery was added to the injury report on Thursday. Two straight missed practices for Smith doesn't bode well for his chances of playing on Sunday against the Carolina […]

Patrik Laine Returns For Columbus

Columbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine (oblique) is set to make his first appearance since Nov. 3 on Thursday against the Predators. The Finnish sniper had a very productive start to the season before getting knocked out of the lineup with an oblique strain. He managed to rack up 10 points in nine games with […]

Cedi Osman Won't Play Versus Wizards

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Cedi Osman won't suit up on Thursday evening against the Wizards while remaining in COVID-19 health and safety protocols. The 26-year-old has missed his last two contests, and even if he is cleared sometime within the next few games, he will likely need some time to increase his conditioning level. Darius Garland […]

Is Mike Williams Playing This Week? Should I Start Mike Williams In Week 17 If He Plays?

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 […]

Elvis Merzlikins Looks For More Home Success Against Nashville

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Elvis Merzlikins will roll out for Thursday's home match against Nashville. The Latvian has thoroughly enjoyed playing in front of the Blue Jackets faithful this season, going 9-1-1 on home ice. His overall record for the season stands at 11-7-1 with a 3.06 goals-against average, a .911 save percentage and one […]

Drew Lock Puts In Full Practice, Teddy Bridgewater Still Out

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, while Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) missed his second straight day. Lock was limited in Wednesday's practice, but he's good to go for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers and is fully expected to make his second straight start with Bridgewater still in […]

Michael Gallup - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup was a solid fantasy asset while the Cowboys were dealing with multiple injuries in their wide receiver room, but he's returned to his support role over the past few weeks as everyone has been healthy. Gallup is probably one of the most talented WR3s in the league, but his […]

Sam Montembeault Makes A Second Consecutive Start

Montreal Canadiens goaltender Sam Montembeault will be between the pipes for a second consecutive game on Thursday against Carolina. He took a 5-4 overtime loss versus Tampa on Tuesday when the team resumed its season. Montreal's regular starter Jake Allen (COVID-19 protocols) is currently unavailable. Sam Montembeault has started six games this season and he's […]

Jarrett Allen Out Again On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen will not play on Thursday against Washington. Allen has missed his previous three games because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols. However, he has since been cleared but will need more time to ramp up his conditioning level. As a result, Evan Mobley will take his place, with Dean Wade […]

Tyre Phillips Goes On Injured Reserve

The Baltimore Ravens placed offensive tackle/guard Tyre Phillips (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, which will likely end his season. Last year's third-round pick has started 13 games for the Ravens, but staying healthy has been a problem for him, as he played in only eight games in his rookie season and five games this […]

Amari Cooper - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper will look for two big weeks in a row in a Week 17 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Cooper publicly asked for more targets before Week 16 and went off for 7-85-1 on 11 targets against the Washington Football Team, finishing as the overall WR9 for the week. The […]

Spencer Knight Gets The Call For Thursday's Game

Florida Panthers goaltender Spencer Knight will guard the crease on Thursday against Tampa as the team completes a back-to-back set. Sergei Bobrovsky beat the Rangers 4-3 with 30 saves on Wednesday and now it's Knight's turn to show what he can do. The 20-year-old has been off form lately, but he carries a strong 5-2-0 […]

DraftKings and FanDuel Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/30/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Well, it certainly has been an interesting couple of weeks in the fantasy basketball world. With every passing hour it seems like more players are being moved to the health and safety protocols, thus making it difficult to project most lineups. While it has been tough to stay on top of, it's also opened up […]

Curtis Samuel Remains Limited Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) remained limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel has missed the last two games with his hamstring injury, and it's unknown if he'll be back on the field this Sunday against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Even if Samuel returns, he's absolutely not to […]

CeeDee Lamb - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb will look to get back into the WR1 conversation in a Week 17 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Lamb has finished outside of the top-30 fantasy wide receivers for the past three games, which is certainly not what his fantasy managers had been used to. Last week, Amari Cooper […]

Jalen Hurts Bumps Up To Full Practice

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) got in a full practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Rookie running back Kenneth Gainwell (ankle) was also a full participant Thursday. Hurts appears to slowly be getting past his injured ankle after missing only one game. The 23-year-old threw for 296 yards, one touchdown and […]

Tony Pollard - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) didn't do much in Week 16 but should show up for a better performance in Week 17. Pollard is dealing with a foot injury but has been able to practice in full every day this week and shouldn't miss any game time due to the injury. The matchup […]

Another Missed Practice For James O'Shaughnessy

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy (hip) missed another practice on Thursday. O'Shaughnessy will likely have to return to the practice field on Friday in order to have a shot at playing in Week 17 against the New England Patriots. The Jaguars could have real issues at the tight end position this weekend, with Dan […]

Jack Doyle Misses Another Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (ankle, knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. If he isn't able to get back on the practice field on Friday, Doyle will likely be ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Doyle played only 3% of the offensive snaps in […]

Ezekiel Elliott - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) hasn't been gaining too many yards, but he's remained a fantasy starter thanks to finding the end zone three times in the past two games. Elliott scored twice in a Week 16 blowout over the Washington Football Team, and while Week 17's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals should […]

Marquise Goodwin Out Sick Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (illness) was added to the injury report on Thursday after he missed practice with an illness. Goodwin returned in Week 16 for the first time since Thanksgiving and caught two passes for 23 yards in the win over the Seattle Seahawks. The 31-year-old has not been on the fantasy […]

Dak Prescott - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott broke out of his slump in Week 16 against the Washington Football Team, finishing as the QB2 overall in fantasy after three weeks of finishing outside of the top 20. It was a soft matchup, though, and Week 17's game against the Arizona Cardinals will be tougher, but Prescott should […]
