Tee Higgins Questionable To Return In Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens. With how much of a potential issue hamstrings are for NFL receivers, don't be surprised if we don't see Higgins again in this game. If he's done for the day, he would finish without a catch. Alex Erickson […]

Bucs Looking At Mike Evans' Knee

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans left the field after a dropped touchdown in Week 17 with an apparent knee injury and is being looked at by trainers. Evans is a key cog for the Tampa Bay offense, so it will be important to watch to see if Evans is able to return. If […]

Clint Capela Racks Up Impressive Double-Double In Loss

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela compiled 16 points and 16 rebounds in Saturday's defeat to the Cavaliers, setting new season highs in each category en route to a second consecutive double-double. Having been on the floor for 31 minutes, Capela was able to add three steals and two blocks, an indication of the level of […]

Collin Sexton Drops Game-High 27 Points In Victory

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton poured in a game-high 27 points during Saturday's win over Atlanta, marking his sixth straight contest passing the 20-point plateau to begin the year. In what has been a small sample size thus far, Sexton has embraced the role of No. 1 scoring option for the Cavs and has […]

John Marino Signed To Six-Year Extension

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman John Marino signed a six-year contract extension worth $26.4 million on Sunday. The 23-year-old is coming off of a productive 2019-20 campaign that saw him finish eighth in Calder Trophy voting. He tallied six goals, 20 assists, and four power-play points across 56 games. Marino looks like a nice end-of-draft pick for […]

DeVante Parker Will Play Week 17, Jakeem Grant Sr. Out

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker is active for Sunday's contest against the Buffalo Bills. With fellow receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) out, Parker will once again assume the role of No. 1 receiver in this offense. The Bills Defense might be weaker than usual as the team rests some key players, giving Parker WR2 […]

Darwin Thompson Will See Bulk Of Week 17 Carries

While Le'Veon Bell will be active, Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson is expected to see the bulk of the carries in the team's Week 17 contest against the Chargers, as KC looks to keep their starters healthy. A popular preseason sleeper back in 2019, Thompson's never really gotten going in the regular season. […]

Tyler Kroft On COVID List

Buffalo Bills tight end Tyler Kroft has been placed on the COVID-19 list and will miss Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. This could potentially open things up for a big Dawson Knox game, but with the Bills expected to rest their starters at some point during Sunday's game, maybe the smart move is to […]

No Carlos Hyde For Seattle In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (illness) is out for Sunday's game against the 49ers. Coupled with Rashaad Penny's struggles since returning to the field, this should clear the way for a big showing by running back Chris Carson. Consider Carson a high-end RB2 for this matchup, even against a 49ers Defense that has the […]

Damien Harris Won't Play Against Jets

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) won't play against the Jets on Sunday. Harris will enter the offseason as the top candidate on this Patriots team to start at running back next season, though there's always plenty of mystery with this team's running back corps. As for this week, expect to see more […]

Christian Kirk On COVID List

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk is on the COVID-19 list and will not play Sunday in a must-win game against that Los Angeles Rams. With Larry Fitzgerald (groin) unlikely to play as well and quarterback Kyler Murray (leg) likely to be limited, the Cardinals passing attack could be in some trouble. With Kirk out, […]

Tyler Boyd Active For Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) is active for Week 17 against the Ravens. It's a bit of a surprise as this is a meaningless game for the Bengals, but Boyd will slide back into the lineup. His numbers have been all over the place this season, but he should be a solid WR3 […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/3/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Happy New Year, everyone. For those looking to not move off the couch on Sunday, the NFL regular season will conclude with Week 17 on tap. On top of that, the NBA has seven games on the agenda, minus the afternoon game, to round out the evening, which will ultimately make this one of the […]

Matt Barkley Will See Meaningful Snaps In Week 17

Per Michael Giardi of the NFL Network, the Buffalo Bills intend to give quarterback Matt Barkley "meaningful snaps" on Sunday against Miami. The Bills have nothing to play for other than seeding, so it looks like Allen will get some early playing time and then head to the bench. This news means that Allen should […]

Josh Allen Active, But No Guarantee He Plays Entire Game

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is active for Sunday's game against Miami, but Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network says that there's no guarantee Allen plays the entire game. The Bills are only playing for seeding at this point, so they could decide to end Allen's day early to keep him fresh for the playoffs. […]

Matthew Stafford Active For Week 17

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb/ribs/ankle) is officially active for Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings. Stafford was limited in practice all week but will make the start this week. The Lions offense doesn't have a lot of weapons right now, so Stafford should be considered a QB2 play, even against a Vikings Defense that […]

Julio Jones Officially Inactive For Season Finale

As expected, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) is inactive for the team's season finale against the Buccaneers. Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage are both strong fantasy options with Jones sidelined. Still an elite wideout when he plays, Jones will end the season having played just nine games and failed to reach 1,000 yards […]

Cole Beasley Inactive For Week 17

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) won't play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. His absence will hurt Buffalo's offense, as Beasley has been a key player to help them move the chains and a great underneath option for Buffalo. The Bills will keep Beasley sidelined to make sure he's healthy for the playoff […]

Carson Wentz Plans To Ask For Trade

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz plans to ask for a trade this offseason, with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting that Wentz's relationship with head coach Doug Pederson "is fractured beyond repair." Wentz will be inactive for the team's season finale, but it was reported earlier on Sunday that the Eagles would like to have him back […]

Patriots Expected To Part Ways With Cam Newton

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Patriots and quarterback Cam Newton are expected to part ways this offseason. Newton struggled as a passer in his one season in New England but continued to make an impact as a rusher, adding 12 rushing touchdowns. Newton still has value to a team due to his rushing upside, […]

Ryan Day Not Open To NFL Head Coaching Interviews

Despite rumors that the Jacksonville Jaguars had interest in him, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day is not open to taking NFL head coaching interviews this offseason. Day is among two rumored names for the job, with Jacksonville expressing interest in former Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer as well. But with one of the […]

Carson Wentz Will Be Healthy Scratch In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz will be a healthy scratch in Week 17, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. That would leave Nate Sudfeld as the backup to Jalen Hurts. Obviously, backup quarterback moves don't have an immediate impact on the Week 17 fantasy picture, but the Wentz situation is one worth monitoring this offseason. Will […]

Tobias Harris Packs Stat Sheet During 24-Point Outing

Philadelphia 76ers small/power forward Tobias Harris was all over the stat sheet in Saturday's win over the Hornets, dropping 24 points while shooting 9-for-14 overall, including 4-for-7 from deep. Harris loaded up with nine rebounds, six assists, four steals, and three blocked shots, all but canceling out the five turnovers that threatened to derail his […]

Alexander Mattison Should See Plenty Of Week 17 Work

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is expected to serve as the lead back for the Vikings on Sunday against the Lions with Dalvin Cook (personal) out. Mattison doesn't have the upside of Cook, but he should be set to see plenty of touches, especially near the goal-line. The Lions run defense has plenty of […]

Ty Montgomery Has Upside In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back/wide receiver Ty Montgomery is expected to see the bulk of the snaps at running back on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers with the team's entire running back room on the COVID list and ineligible to play. Montgomery has just one carry for negative-four yards this season, but he's shown some […]

Ben Simmons Records First Triple-Double Of Season In Win

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons finished Saturday's victory over Charlotte with 15 points, 12 rebounds, and 11 assists, logging his first triple-double of the new year. The 11 assists set a new season high, while Simmons shot 6-for-9 from the floor and 3-for-5 from the free-throw stripe. Having scored between nine and 16 points […]

Tyler Boyd A Flex Play In Return From Injury

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd gets a tough matchup for his return to the field after missing last week. Boyd will face off with the Ravens' 14th-ranked pass defense that has allowed just 11 touchdowns to wideouts this year. The 26-year-old picked up 42 yards on six targets in his first meeting with the […]

Terry Rozier Lights Up 76ers, Goes For 35 Points

Charlotte Hornets point/shooting guard Terry Rozier rebounded with a strong offensive performance during Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, going for 35 points on 12-for-18 shooting overall, including 7-for-11 from behind the arc. In addition to the scoring, Rozier added three assists and two rebounds, giving him multiple contributions in those categories through each of his first […]

Tee Higgins A WR3 Against Ravens

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins faces a difficult matchup in Week 17. Higgins is coming off of a strong 6-99-1 effort in a loss to the Texans- but may find more resistance against the Ravens' 14th-ranked pass defense. Higgins will also have to contend with Tyler Boyd for targets, as the latter is returning […]
