Delon Wright Notches 20 Points With Four Triples

He hit 4-for-5 from deep and put in work in every area with three rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block. Wright picked up an […]

Julius Randle Nails Six Triples During 25-Point Performance

New York Knicks power forward Julius Randle has struggled with the three-ball this season, but that wasn't the case on Christmas Day against Atlanta as he went 6-for-9 from downtown during a 25-point effort. Randle shot 9-for-15 overall from the field and completed a double-double with 12 rebounds. He handed out three assists with three […]

Kemba Walker Records His Third Career Triple-Double

New York Knicks point guard Kemba Walker continued to rock on Christmas Day against Atlanta, recording his third career triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists. It's his first triple-double in seven years, and Walker is now only the seventh player in league history to post a triple-double on Christmas Day. Kemba's 3-for-12 […]

Lamar Jackson, Tyler Huntley Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

The Baltimore Ravens' quarterback options for Sunday's game against Cincinnati have been drastically shortened with Lamar Jackson (ankle) and Tyler Huntley (illness) ruled out. Jackson's absence due to an ankle injury marks his second contest in a row on the sidelines, while Huntley was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday. The team will roll with […]

Derek Carr - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has a tall task on his hands on Sunday against the Denver Broncos – to the point it's probably safer if fantasy managers don't play him. The 30-year-old signal-caller completed 25 of 38 passes for 236 yards with one touchdown and one interception against the Cleveland Browns on Monday, […]

Is Tyreek Hill Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Buckle up for Week 16, folks. The fantasy football landscape has been tough to navigate during the playoffs with injuries and COVID-19 running rampant throughout the league.

Is Austin Ekeler Playing This Week? Is Justin Jackson Worth Picking Up?

Week 16 is here. Will it be just as wild as Week 15 was? We shall see, but big-name players continue to land on the COVID-19 list, while others are injury question marks. Fantasy football managers would love nothing more than to be gifted a win in the fantasy semifinals during Christmas weekend, but you'll […]

Brett Maher - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints kicker Brett Maher is not a strong play against the Dolphins in Week 16. Maher has been reliable in the four games he has played with New Orleans, going 8-for-9 in field-goal attempts and 7-for-8 in extra points. Nevertheless, the Saints plan to start a rookie QB who has never made an […]

Saints Defense A Viable Play Against Dolphins

The New Orleans Saints defense is a streaming option in Week 16. This unit is coming off an impressive shutout of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one of the only shutouts legendary QB Tom Brady has suffered in his career. This unit has certainly been the strength of this team all season as the offense deals […]

Nick Vannett - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Nick Vannett is not a viable tight end option in Week 16 against the Dolphins. Vannett posted a couple of decent games in the last few weeks but he surely hasn't been consistent. The TE has posted 44 yards or more in two of the past four games. He also […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway should be considered nothing more than a deep-league flex in Week 16. The upside is that Callaway could see a lot of targets given Tre'Quan Smith (shoulder) may not be able to play and Deonte Harris remains suspended. The downside is that New Orleans could be starting a […]

Mark Ingram II - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II shouldn't start for your fantasy team in Week 16. The RB has posted 47 rushing yards or less in five of six contests since returning to the Saints earlier this season. Last week, he managed nine carries for only 10 yards. Given he will always be second […]

Happy Holidays, everyone. After Week 15 concluded with two games on Tuesday, Week 16 began with Thursday Night Football, featuring the 49ers taking on the Titans in Nashville. While San Fran held its own, thanks to a superb effort from Deebo Samuel, Tennessee narrowly pulled off the win, with A.J. Brown finishing with 11 catches […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is an RB1 option in Week 16 against Miami. The 26-year-old had an off-week last week but that was against a stingy Tampa run defense. The RB has high volume in this offense and could see even more touches this week given the Saints are preparing to start […]

Ian Book - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Ian Book is not a strong fantasy option in Week 16. The 23-year-old rookie is preparing to make his first NFL start on Monday with QBs Taysom Hill and Trevor Siemian on the COVID list. The QB will have to play a Dolphins squad that is somewhat stingy to fantasy quarterbacks, […]

Is Jared Goff Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

It's Week 16 and we are heading for the semi-finals of most fantasy football leagues. The playoffs mean that paying attention to injury/COVID news is even more vital to your team's success.

Steelers Defense In A Tough Spot Vs. KC In Week 16

The Pittsburgh Steelers defense almost single-handedly won the game against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15 as they racked up four sacks and forced four turnovers. They might struggle to replicate that success in a tough road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16. The Chiefs are installed as 8.5-point home favorites with […]

Chris Boswell - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 16. Boswell has been a reliable kicker in 2021 as he has hit on 28 of 31 field goals and 23 of 25 extra points. The Chiefs have been tough on kickers this year as they are allowing […]

Is Taylor Heinicke Playing This Week? Fantasy Football Injury and COVID Updates

Injuries and COVID-19 continue to wreak havoc on the NFL schedule. Last week, the game between the Washington Football team and Philadelphia Eagles was moved to Tuesday and still failed to rid itself of COVID. Washington was adversely affected as both of their top quarterbacks were placed on the COVID list, and were forced to […]

Chase Claypool - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool did not come through for fantasy gamers in Week 15 as he went for just 19 total yards in what appeared to be a plus matchup against the Tennessee Titans. He will look to bounce back against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 16. The Chiefs […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson is coming off a slower game, by his standards, as he caught just five passes for 38 yards in Week 15. He will look to bounce back against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that is allowing the 11th-fewest fantasy points per game to enemy wideouts in 2021. Johnson is […]

Najee Harris - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris will suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs on the road in Week 16. Harris has been on a downswing of late as he is averaging just 49.0 rushing yards with three total touchdowns over his past five games. That being said, the Chiefs have not been very imposing […]

Myles Garrett Plans To Play In Week 16

Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett (core) is listed as questionable for Saturday's Week 16 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Despite that, Garrett does plan on suiting up for this contest. He traveled with the team and does seem on the right side of the questionable tag. The Browns might limit the Pro Bowl […]

Ben Roethlisberger - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral/right shoulder) got in a full practice on Friday and is listed without an injury designation ahead of his Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Roethlisberger draws a plus matchup against a Kansas City pass defense that is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers […]

Brian Johnson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Football Team kicker Brian Johnson could find his way into some solid production on Sunday night. Kicking indoors is always an attractive factor when considering kickers for fantasy lineups, so Johnson won't have to be dealing with external factors whenever he gets an opportunity on Sunday night. He was scripted out of the game […]
