Karl-Anthony Towns Could Sit Out Versus Lakers

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He suffered a left wrist injury late during their last contest. This is the second game of a back-to-back set, so the Wolves might take the cautious approach here. Juan Hernangomez would see an extended role, assuming […]

Le'Veon Bell Limited To 30% Of The Backfield Snaps In Week 16

Kansas Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell was overshadowed in the backfield by Darrel Williams in Week 16 versus the Atlanta Falcons. It was believed that Bell was going to be the beneficiary with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) sidelined, but he only received 30% of the snaps on Sunday. Bell only had seven rushing attempts for 30 […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Two Touchdowns In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was held in check by the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16. Mahomes came into Sunday with a great matchup on paper, but was just 24-for-44 on the afternoon with two touchdowns and one interception for 278 yards. Mahomes also rushed three times for 21 yards. It was far from […]

Travis Kelce Makes History In Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce set numerous records in a Week 16 victory against the Atlanta Falcons. Kelce finished the game by catching seven of his 13 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown. The tight end has now become the first at his position in NFL to have multiple seasons with 100 […]

Keenan Allen Inactive For Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is officially inactive for his team's Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Allen came into Sunday listed as questionable but will not suit up in the divisional clash after he didn't practice all week. The veteran receiver attempted to play through the injury in Week 15 […]

Derek Stepan Dealt to Ottawa

Center Derek Stepan was traded from the Arizona Coyotes to the Ottawa Senators in exchange for a 2021 second-round pick on Saturday evening. The 30-year-old, who spent three full seasons in Arizona, will provide veteran guidance and should fill a top-nine forward role on his new team. With one year remaining on a five-year, $39 […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 16: English Premier League

The EPL's hectic Christmas schedule is such that I'm having to write this before Matchweek 15 has been completed. As if teams playing two games in three days isn't difficult enough to predict, there could be some issues (such as injuries etc) that cause me to alter my thought process on a game. So I'll […]

Ilya Kovalchuk Signs In Russia

Right-winger Ilya Kovalchuk inked a two-year contract to return to the Kontinental Hockey League on Saturday. The 37-year-old, who will play with Avangard this season, bounced around in what can likely be considered his final NHL season in 2019-2020 - skating with the Los Angeles Kings, Montreal Canadiens and Washington Capitals. The once electrifying sniper […]

Ha-seong Kim Has Picked A Team

Korean shortstop Ha-seong Kim has picked a team and is negotiating whether the contract will be fully guaranteed at the major league level, according to Korean media reports. The Kiwoom Heroes star had received multiple offers in the five-plus-year range earlier in the week, but it appears that he is closing in on a deal […]

Padres Have Discussed Yu Darvish

The San Diego Padres have been in contact with starting pitcher Yu Darvish after losing out on Japanese right-hander Kohei Arihara this weekend after he signed with the Rangers. The Friars could also attempt to sign Japanese pitcher Tomoyuki Sugano, who they've talked with as well. Darvish finished second in the National League Cy Young […]

Marquese Chriss Will Miss Rest Of Season

Golden State Warriors center Marquese Chriss has suffered a broken right leg and will miss the rest of the 2020-21 season. Chriss was an interesting sleeper coming into the season after averaging 9.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season. With Chriss done, expect the Warriors to rely even more on rookie center James […]

Tony Pollard Will Be Impacted By Ezekiel Elliott's Return

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard had a huge Week 15 and would have been in line to rate as a high-end RB2 against the Eagles in Week 16. But with Ezekiel Elliott (calf) now expected to play, Pollard's value takes a big hit. He still has upside due to his explosiveness and the possibility […]

Alex Smith Out, Dwayne Haskins Jr. Starting Again

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) has officially been ruled out for Week 16 against the Panthers. Dwayne Haskins Jr., who was fined and had his captainship removed after violating COVID-19 protocols earlier this week, will make his second straight start. The second-year QB was benched earlier this season but now has a chance […]

Tyron Johnson Could Have Week 16 Value

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Tyron Johnson could see an uptick in value in Week 16 if Keenan Allen (hamstring) is out, though reports are that Allen is trending towards playing. If that's the case, go ahead and ignore Johnson in fantasy, but if Allen does end up as a late scratch, Johnson has some […]

Will Bears Consider Re-Signing Mitchell Trubisky?

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has played some of the best football in his career recently and has made a case to be re-signed after he had his fifth-year option declined before the season, according to some NFL executives. If the Bears win their final two games, they'll clinch a playoff berth, which would make […]

Dare Ogunbowale An Interesting Week 16 Option

With James Robinson (ankle) out, Jacksonville Jaguars running back Dare Ogunbowale is an intriguing deep-league option for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. While he won't have the same workload Robinson had because Devine Ozigbo will siphon off some touches, Ogunbowale should be the main option and will get some receiving work as well. He's […]

Marvin Hall Has Upside In Week 16

With virtually their entire receiving corps on the COVID list, Cleveland Browns wide receiver Marvin Hall should see plenty of targets on Sunday against the New York Jets. Hall had one big game for Detroit earlier this season, catching four passes for 113 yards, but hasn't played since being signed by the Browns. Don't expect […]

Ben Roethlisberger Has Arthritic Knees

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (knees) is healthier now than he has been all season heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Colts, but he has been managing arthritic knees this season and suffered a hyperextended knee in Week 13. Roethlisberger will have to continually monitor his knees for however long he wants to […]

Allen Robinson II Active For Week 16

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) will play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Considering how porous this Jaguars Defense has been, fantasy managers should feel great about using Robinson as a WR1 play this week. The Jags are allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. Robinson […]

Vic Fangio Will Return In 2021

The Denver Broncos plan to bring head coach Vic Fangio back for the 2021 season, according to league sources. There had been speculation that Denver might consider a coaching change after a fourth straight losing season. They are currently 5-9 and enter Week 16 tied for last place in the AFC West with their Week […]

Lamar Jackson Is A Top Option For Week 16

Now that wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee) is active, we can officially pencil Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson in as a top QB1 play on Sunday when the Ravens face the New York Giants. Jackson threw three touchdowns and rushed for another against the Jaguars last week and has rushing touchdowns in three consecutive games. […]

Antonio Gibson Should Have Sizable Role Against Panthers

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is back for Week 16 against the Panthers and should have a sizable role after sitting out the team's last two games with a painful turf-toe injury. The 22-year-old from Memphis has been the best fantasy back in Washington's backfield this year and he'll return to […]

Obi Toppin Will Miss At Least Six Games

New York Knicks forward Obi Toppin (calf) is going to miss at least six games. He suffered a strained left calf and will be re-evaluated in a week or possibly 10 days. However, that is just to clear him to practice, so he won't be taking the court anytime soon. Fantasy managers can expect Toppin […]

Terry McLaurin Officially Out In Week 16

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is officially out for Week 16 against the Panthers. McLaurin was previously listed as doubtful, so his fantasy managers should have already benched him and made alternate plans for championship week. It's a tough blow for Washington and fantasy managers with everything on the line, as McLaurin […]

Tyreek Hill Active For Week 16

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the Atlanta Falcons. Hill's status never really seemed in doubt during the week, but it's good to have this reassurance if you roster him in fantasy. Lock him in as a top-end WR1 option this week.

LaMelo Ball Could See More Minutes

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball could quickly work his way into more playing time. Following Saturday's game, head coach James Borrego mentioned that there could be more minutes for Ball going forward. He finished with 15 points, six rebounds, and one assist in the loss. Ball didn't see much playing time in the second half […]

Damon Harrison Asks For His Release

Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Damon Harrison asked for his release after learning that he'd be inactive in Week 16 against the division-rival Rams, and the team plans to grant his wish next week, according to sources. The Seahawks have enjoyed their time with Harrison and hopes he has a change of heart, but it seems […]

Marquise Brown Active, Mark Ingram Out

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown (knee) will play against the Giants on Sunday. While his 2020 numbers have been really uneven, he's coming off of a 98-yard Week 15 performance, and before that had touchdowns in three consecutive weeks. He's not the safest play in the world but is a solid WR3 option if […]

Collin Johnson Inactive For Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Collin Johnson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. Johnson exited early in Week 15 with the hamstring injury and the rookie was unable to get back for this week's game. While he's had a couple of strong performances this year, Johnson never really made much of an […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Finishes With Five Receptions

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (ankle) was unable to finish out the Week 16 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, before he exited Grant hauled in five of his six targets for 43 yards. It wasn't a great outing, but PPR managers will take it. This was a rough game for the […]
