Dontrelle Inman Being Released

The Washington Football Team is releasing wide receiver Dontrelle Inman on Saturday in order to activate rookie wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden off of Injured Reserve, according to a source. Inman could be a nice veteran addition off waivers down the stretch for a contending club. After playing for the Colts and Chargers in 2019, Inman […]

Browns Flight Delayed Due To COVID-19

The Cleveland Browns closed their facility on Saturday and their flight to New Jersey to face the Jets in Week 16 on Sunday has been delayed while contact tracing is being conducted following a positive player test for COVID-19. Fantasy managers that were planning on starting anyone from the Browns or Jets on Sunday should […]

Blaine Gabbert Replaces Tom Brady In Second Half

Tampa Bay Buccaneers backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert replaced Tom Brady under center to begin the second half of Saturday's game against the Lions with the Bucs already up 34-0 going into the second half. Gabbert promptly hit tight end Rob Gronkowski for a touchdown on his first attempt of the game to put Tampa up […]

Matthew Stafford Injured Saturday, Ruled Out

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (foot) has been downgraded to out after hobbling off early in Saturday's Week 16 game against the Buccaneers. The Lions are down 34 points to begin the second half, so the Lions understandably don't want to risk anything else with Stafford after he came into the game already dealing with […]

Ha-seong Kim Has Multiple Offers

Korean shortstop Ha-seong Kim could have multiple long-term offers on the table from MLB teams, according to sources. The Kiwoom Heroes star has several offers in the five-plus-year range. Kim's posting period will end on Jan. 1, which gives MLB teams one more week to work out a deal with him. The 25-year-old had a […]

Giants Defense Can Be Avoided In Week 16

The New York Giants Defense has a brutal matchup in Baltimore for Week 16. New York will face a road-test against Lamar Jackson and a Ravens offense that allows the sixth-fewest fantasy points to opposing defenses. Fantasy managers playing in Week 16 should look elsewhere for a defense.

Darius Slayton Should Be Avoided In Week 16

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has fallen off the fantasy radar with just eight catches in his last four games combined. The Giants offense has struggled as a whole with starting quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) dealing with multiple injuries and backup Colt McCoy ineffective. Jones should be back this week but will face a […]

Eagles Defense Without Derek Barnett, Josh Sweat In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles defensive ends Derek Barnett (calf) and Josh Sweat (wrist) have both been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. Barnett has been one of the most consistent commodities for the Eagles Defense this season, having compiled 34 total tackles to go along with 16 quarterback hits and 5.5 sacks. Sweat has been […]

Sterling Shepard Has Tough Matchup In Baltimore

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been ineffective lately with the Giants' offense struggling. Shepard has just eight catches in the last three games combined with Big Blue relying on Colt McCoy at quarterback. Daniel Jones (hamstring) is expected back this week but was clearly hobbled last time he tried to play through […]

Dodgers Could Be Lurking For Trevor Bauer, DJ LeMahieu

The Los Angeles Dodgers could be in play for free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer and second baseman DJ LeMahieu. If Bauer goes for the longest contract worth the most money, he's unlikely to land with the Dodgers. But if he would consider a short-term deal, the Dodgers could be a great fit, as long as […]

Jordan Howard Joins Active Roster For Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard has been elevated from the team's practice squad in time to take the field Sunday versus the Cowboys. While it's a return back to the active roster for Howard, it may be a while before he returns to being a regular fantasy contributor. Miles Sanders is firmly entrenched as […]

Tyler Eifert Boasts Solid Punt-Play Potential In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert has held down a consistent role as a red-zone target in the team's offense of late, giving him some DFS appeal Sunday versus Chicago due to his low price tag. Eifert has made multiple catches in seven straight games and is the rare pass-catching member of the Jacksonville offense […]

Evan Engram A Risky Option In Week 16

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram hasn't been productive in recent weeks as the team's offense has sputtered with quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) out. Jones should be back this week against the Ravens, but he was clearly hobbled last time he tried to play through injury, so it'll be hard to trust any New […]

Rangers Reach Two-Year Deal With Kohei Arihara

The Texas Rangers signed Japanese right-hander Kohei Arihara to a two-year deal on Saturday worth $6-7 million, according to sources. The 28-year-old had a 3.74 ERA in six seasons with the Nippon Ham Fighters and went 8-9 with 106 strikeouts and a 3.46 ERA in 132 2/3 innings in 20 outings for the team in […]

Kenny Golladay Remains Sidelined For Saturday’s Game

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) will once again be kept out of action for Saturday's contest versus the Buccaneers. Golladay has not suited up since Week 8, but his practice sessions have been among the league's most closely monitored due to his immense upside when healthy. Marvin Jones Jr. should continue to reprise […]

Wayne Gallman A Risky Option In Week 16

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman has been a solid starter for fantasy purposes, but he had a disappointing game last week and will face a challenge against the Ravens stout defense in Week 16. Last week, Gallman had just nine carries for 29 yards, his fewest carries in a game since Oct. 11. […]

Joe Burrow Walking After Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) sent out a 12-second video on Twitter on Friday that showed him walking for the first time since he underwent successful reconstructive knee surgery on Dec. 2. The first overall pick of this year's draft suffered a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 22 against the Washington Football Team. […]

Raiders Defense Not On Fantasy Radar Against Dolphins

The Raiders defense has a decent matchup this week against the Dolphins but should not be counted on as a viable fantasy option. The Dolphins offense has struggled at times this season but should feel more comfortable against the Raiders defense. They have the second-least sacks and have allowed at least 30 points in nine […]

Drew Brees Becomes First QB To 80,000 Yards

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees became the first player in NFL history to throw for 80,000 yards in the Week 16 win over the Vikings on Christmas Day on Friday. Brees, the league's all-time career passer, entered the game needing just 154 yards for the record. The future Hall of Famer finished the game […]

J.D. McKissic A Start-Worthy Option In Week 16

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic has played well in the lead-back role and can be started in fantasy, even if rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) returns this week. McKissic had 24 carries over the last two weeks after not having double-digit carries in any game prior. In addition to added rushing volume, McKissic […]

Darren Waller A Must-Start TE1 Versus Dolphins

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is a TE1 in Week 16, despite facing a Dolphins Defense that ranks seventh against opposing tight ends. Waller is averaging about nine catches for 141 yards over his last three games and has also found the end zone three times. He is on pace to catch at […]

Buccaneers Defense Takes Field Saturday Without Carlton Davis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Lions, leaving an opening at the top corner spot for the Buccaneers Defense. Davis made a season-high nine tackles last week prior to his departure due to the groin ailment, but Ryan Smith is now expected to step into […]

Peyton Barber Off The Fantasy Radar In Championship Week

Washington Football Team running back Peyton Barber shouldn't be trusted in fantasy after receiving just four carries last week versus Seattle. Barber found the end zone last week, but only had five yards on four carries as the team relied on J.D. McKissic more than Barber. Rookie rusher Antonio Gibson (toe) may be back this […]

Anthony Castonzo Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, which is sure to change the way that the offense operates. It's likely that Quenton Nelson moves over again to protect quarterback Philip Rivers' blindside, although how reticent that will make head coach Frank Reich in dialing up […]

Saints Defense Loses Kwon Alexander To Torn Achilles

New Orleans Saints linebacker Kwon Alexander (Achilles) suffered a torn Achilles in the Christmas Day win over the Vikings on Friday and will miss the rest of the season, according to a source. Alexander was traded to New Orleans from San Francisco this year and recorded 27 total tackles, four passes defensed, a forced fumble […]

Cam Sims A Fantasy Option In Week 16

Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims will be the top wide receiver option on Sunday against the Panthers with Terry McLaurin (ankle) doubtful to play. Sims made five catches on eight targets last week and had nine targets three weeks ago, as he's been playing the most snaps opposite McLaurin. It's unclear who will […]

Henry Ruggs III An Unreliable Fantasy Option In Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is probably best suited on the bench heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins. Ruggs has three straight games with three catches but has not gone for more than three catches in any game this season. He missed last week's game due to COVID-19 and […]

Saints Claim Jake Kumerow Off Waivers

The New Orleans Saints claimed wide receiver Jake Kumerow off waivers from the Bills, according to a source. Kumerow caught just one pass in six games with Buffalo before being waived, but that one catch was a 22-yard touchdown in the Week 15 win over the Broncos. Kumerow is unlikely to become a fantasy relevant […]

Hunter Renfrow Set To Play Against Dolphins

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (head) does not carry an injury designation heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Dolphins. He enters this week as the No. 2 receiver on the Raiders depth chart. While it looks like Renfrow is good to go, he carries just borderline flex value this week. Over […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Cleared For Saturday’s Contest

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) and kicker Matt Prater (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers by virtue of their absence from the inactive list. Stafford has continued to play through myriad injuries, which makes him something of an unknown from a fantasy […]
