The Cut List (Week 16) - Time to Let Go?

Today, I'm writing to you as someone who has officially been eliminated from championship contention in both of his home leagues. In one of those leagues, I admittedly never stood a chance.

Tee Higgins Disappoints In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins had a team-high six targets in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers but ended up with just three catches for 31 yards. It was his worst output since Week 11. Higgins has a bright future once quarterback Joe Burrow is back under center next year, but he's a risky […]

Steelers Defense Quiet In Week 15 Loss

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense came up small in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15.

Giovani Bernard Scores Twice On Monday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard saw 25 carries in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, finishing with 83 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one pass for a 14-yard touchdown.

Chase Claypool Catches Three Passes In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool caught three of eight targets for 54 yards in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15.

Ryan Finley Runs For Touchdown On Monday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley threw just 13 passes in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing seven of them for 89 yards and a touchdown. He also added 10 carries for 47 yards and a score. The Steelers struggled to stop Finley when he decided to run, which contributed to Pittsburgh dropping their third […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Disappears In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster turned in a disappointing performance in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Smith-Schuster finished with three catches for 15 yards while losing a fumble in the contest. It was a disappointing outing for the entire Pittsburgh offense, with Smith-Schuster one of the main culprits. He […]

Diontae Johnson Scores In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught eight of 13 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15.

Benny Snell Jr. Finds End Zone In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Benny Snell Jr. turned in a solid outing in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Snell carried the ball 18 times for 84 yards and a touchdown while adding 23 yards on three receptions in the loss. The second-year back received the start with James Conner (quad) […]

Ben Roethlisberger Struggles In Loss To Cincinnati

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger struggled in a 27-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Roethlisberger completed 20 of 38 passes for 170 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the surprising loss to their divisional rivals. The Steelers got off to an extremely slow start in the game, with Roethlisberger completing just […]

Eric Ebron Ruled Out After Getting Injured Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron (back) and fullback Derek Watt (head) have both been ruled out for the rest of the Monday night game against the Bengals after suffering injuries. Watt suffered his head injury early in the first quarter and was put in the league's concussion protocol. Ebron failed to catch his only […]

Tyler Boyd Suffers Head Injury Monday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (head) hit his head on the turf while trying to make a catch in the first quarter on Monday night against the Steelers and is questionable to return while going into the league's concussion protocol. It was Boyd's only target in the game before he left, so fantasy managers […]

Cam Akers To Miss Week 16

Los Angeles Rams rookie running back Cam Akers (ankle) will miss the Week 16 game against the division-rival Seahawks after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 15 loss to the Jets, according to head coach Sean McVay. Akers left the game in the second quarter but returned and finished the game with 15 carries […]

Oscar Klefbom Out For Season With Shoulder Injury

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom will miss the entirety of the 2020-2021 season with a chronic shoulder injury.

Draymond Green Ruled Out For Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (foot) has been officially ruled out for the season opener on Tuesday. The MRI came back clean, but the Warriors are going to hold him out as a precaution. Head coach Steve Kerr called Green day-to-day, so there is a chance that he suits up for their matchup on […]

Derrick White Signs Extension With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (toe) reportedly agreed to a four-year extension worth $73 million. That is quite a lot of money, but the Spurs feel he has earned it with his performance last season. He averaged 18.2 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, so there are high expectations for White going into this campaign. […]

Marcus Morris Won't Play In Season Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular season opener. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but the Clippers will take the cautious approach. Nicolas Batum has been starting for Morris in the preseason, so that is expected to be the case on Tuesday. Batum could […]
