Is Duke Johnson Starting This Week? Should I Start Myles Gaskin?

Chiefs Get Blake Bell Back Friday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday, according to a source.

Dawson Knox - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox has turned into more of a touchdown-dependent option over the last few weeks. In fact, Knox has only posted one game over 40 receiving yards in his last four outings. Despite that, Knox has been able to salvage his value with three touchdowns in those four games. Fantasy managers […]

Panthers Defense Should Stay Benched Against Buccaneers

The Carolina Panthers defense should be far away from starting lineups in Week 16 against Tampa.

Though Brady won't […]

Ian Thomas - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas should remain on benches in Week 16 against the Bucs.

His role is way too small to merit any sort of […]

DJ Moore Earns Questionable Designation For Sunday’s Game

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore (hamstring) has been tagged as questionable to suit up for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. It sounds as if head coach Matt Rhule and the Panthers are going to take Moore's availability right up to kickoff, with the team previously indicating it would be a late determination due to […]

Robby Anderson - Week 16 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is a deep-league flex play, at best, in Week 16 against Tampa. The WR broke out a couple of weeks ago for a season-high 84 yards but returned to his regular form last week and posted three receptions for 29 yards on eight targets. Anderson hasn't been reliable all […]
