Christian McCaffrey Officially Out In Week 16

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Washington Football Team. McCaffrey has been a giant bust for fantasy managers, playing in just three games all season after being the consensus No. 1 overall fantasy selection. At this point with just one meaningless game in Week […]

Duke Johnson To Miss Another Game

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (neck) has been officially ruled out for Week 16 against the Bengals. Johnson also missed last week and has fallen out of fantasy favor now that David Johnson is back as the team's lead back. C.J. Prosise should serve as Johnson's backup this Sunday, but he has very little […]

Bradley Beal Finishes Saturday's Loss With 39 Points

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal scored a game-high 39 points, but it wasn't enough against Orlando on Saturday, as the team dropped a home game 130-120.

Tyler Boyd Ruled Out Against Texans

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Texans. Boyd suffered a concussion on Monday night against the Steelers and couldn't get cleared from the league's protocols in order to play this Sunday.

Terrence Ross Provides 25 Points Off The Bench

Orlando Magic shooting guard Terrence Ross posted a nice offensive performance off the bench in Saturday's win over Washington, going for a team-high 25 points in 28 minutes on 9-for-14 shooting. He was 3-for-6 from downtown and added a pair of steals and rebounds with one assist to his line. Ross hasn't started a game […]

Colts Defense Reliable Against Steelers

The Colts Defense has a solid matchup against a Steelers offense that has struggled over the last month. The Steelers have failed to score 20 or more points in each of their last four games and appear to be mostly one-dimensional. They are picking up a league-worst 3.7 yards per carry, and Ben Roethlisberger is […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Officially Out Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) is officially out for Week 16 against the Falcons. The promising rookie suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 15 win over the Saints and is likely to miss the rest of the regular season. If KC secures a bye in the AFC playoffs, Edwards-Helaire […]

Nyheim Hines A Deep-League Flex Option, At Best

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines is a borderline, deep-league flex option this week against the Steelers. The emergence of Jonathan Taylor has resulted in Hines seeing just a little over 30 percent of the team's snaps over the last three weeks. He has picked up over 8 yards per carry in each of the […]

Nikola Vucevic Dominates Against Washington

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had a big performance in Saturday's 130-120 win over Washington, finishing with 22 points, 17 rebounds, three assists, and two steals.

Trey Burton Tough To Depend On In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton has been awful the past three weeks, and things will not get easier against a Steelers Defense that ranks first against opposing tight ends. Over the last three games, Burton has just two catches on five targets for 19 yards. Fellow tight ends Mo Alie-Cox and Jack Doyle also […]

Zach Pascal Not A Reliable Option Against Steelers

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal had his best fantasy performance of the season last week against the Texans but is probably best-suited on the bench in Week 16 against the Steelers. Prior to last week's two-touchdown performance, Pascal had three straight games of just one catch. The Steelers Defense has been good all season, […]

Ja Morant Productive In Loss To Atlanta

Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant finished with 28 points on 10-for-21 shooting during the loss to Atlanta. He also added seven assists, three rebounds and was 2-for-7 from downtown.

Cardinals Defense Has Decent Outing In Week 16

Michael Pittman Jr. Not An Attractive Option Against Steelers

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has struggled a bit as of late and is likely not a great fantasy option against the Steelers. Pittman has back-to-back games with just two catches and three such games over the last four. He also has not gone for over 50 yards or caught a touchdown since […]

Trae Young Has Off Shooting Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young logged 35 minutes during the win over the Grizzlies, finishing with 36 points, nine assists, and three rebounds. Despite leading the way on the scoring end, the third-year man had a rough night from the field by going 10-for-24. He also shot 1-for-7 from deep, but he made up for […]

Larry Fitzgerald Catches Six Passes In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught six of his eight targets for 28 yards in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers. The target share was inspiring for Fitzgerald, but the yardage output was extremely underwhelming, even by Fitzgerald's typical standards. Fitzgerald entered the game averaging 7.9 yards per reception over the year. This […]

DeAndre Hopkins Has Eight Catches In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins had a strong PPR game in Week 16, but wasn't able to break any big plays in the game. Hopkins caught eight of his team-high 12 targets for 48 yards. He averaged just six yards per reception in the game and didn't have a single play that went for […]

Christian Kirk Racks Up Seven Catches In Week 16

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk caught seven of his 10 targets for 76 yards in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hip) left this week's game against the San Francisco 49ers in the first half with a hip injury and didn't return.

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake carried the ball 18 times for 45 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers. He also caught both of his targets for five yards.
