K.J. Osborn - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn had another solid game in Week 16, with Adam Thielen leaving early after aggravating his injured ankle against the Los Angeles Rams.

Kadarius Toney Doesn't Practice On Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (shoulder) missed practice again on Thursday, making it seem highly unlikely that the rookie will play on Sunday.

Kirk Cousins - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins enters his Week 17 matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers ranked as the QB8 on the season.
