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 […]

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 17

The Week 16 wide receiver matchups article did not yield the greatest returns. CeeDee Lamb was the bright spot scoring two touchdowns, one of which was on the ground and one out of the slot, finishing as WR-10 with 23.4 points. Cooper Kupp did alright, snagging eight balls for 66 yards, but other than that, nobody really hit. […]

Giovani Bernard A Solid Play

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard has delivered two strong performances in back-to-back games after fizzling out for several weeks. Bernard is coming off of a scoreless, 131-yard day against the Texans with the Ravens Defense coming to town. While still stout against the ground game, the Ravens have at least shown some signs of […]

Brandon Allen A QB2 Against Baltimore

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen gets a tough matchup in Week 17 against the Ravens. Allen was able to dissect a bad Texans' defense for two scores last week, though the matchup is about to get a lot harder. This Ravens pass rush has been fearsome in the last two games, with 11 sacks. Allen […]

Ravens Defense A Must-Play Against Bengals

The Baltimore Ravens Defense gets an extremely favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. Baltimore is in position to clinch a playoff berth and could beat down the hapless Bengals in the season's final game. The Ravens defense has racked up 11 sacks in their last two games- and is playing dominant football […]

Mark Andrews A Top-Five Option In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has picked up right where he left off since returning from the COVID/Reserve list. Andrews has compiled at least five receptions and 60 receiving yards in all three games since his return. That's an excellent floor for fantasy purposes, with the ceiling perhaps yet to be reached. Andrews has […]

Antonio Gibson, Terry McLaurin Expected To Play

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) and wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) are expected to suit up for a huge Week 17 game against the Eagles. Both players didn't practice at all this week, though head coach Ron Rivera said both players "are good to go." Gibson returned last week after missing two […]

J.K. Dobbins A Fringe RB1 Against Cincinnati

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has been on a tear after a quiet start to his rookie campaign. Dobbins has produced at least 50 rushing yards and a touchdown in five straight games, averaging 5.4 yards per carry in that span. With Mark Ingram II (illness) expected to be inactive and Gus Edwards (back), […]

Larry Fitzgerald Trending In Wrong Direction For Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) is not expected to play in Week 17 against the Rams. Fitzgerald wasn't able to take the practice field all week, though perhaps the absence of Christian Kirk (COVID) will force the team to re-evaluate the former's availability. If he doesn't go, it will be receivers KeeSean Johnson […]

Marquise Brown Has Upside In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown has a favorable matchup against the Bengals in the season's final game. Brown has been excellent lately, as he's exceeded 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in each of his last five games. After struggling to connect on deep plays, we've seen the explosive wideout haul in three […]

Lamar Jackson Poised To Finish Strong Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is poised to finish the regular season strong against the Bengals in Week 17. Jackson has generally treated his meetings with Cincinnati like opportunities to rack up fantasy points, as he owns 789 career passing yards as well as 345 rushing yards, his second-highest totals against AFC North squads. Last […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores Game-High 30 Points Saturday Night

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had his best offensive game of the season on Saturday against OKC, finishing a 108-99 loss with a game-high 30 points on 13-for-21 shooting. He sank four triples with seven attempts while adding 13 rebounds and two assists. Terrence Ross returned from a one-game absence with a 26-point performance, but […]

Le'Veon Bell Set To Play, Will Have Small Role

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is expected to suit up in the season finale against the Chargers, though he's slated to have a small role. Sitting at 14-1 with the one seed locked up, it doesn't make much sense for the Chiefs to push Bell, effectively their starter right now, in a […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Puts Together 16-5-7 Line

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shot in Saturday's win over Orlando, but he posted another nice all-around line with 16 points, seven assists, and five rebounds while committing only one turnover. He went only 5-for-17 from the field with an ugly 2-for-9 record from downtown, and that's now two games on […]

Gus Edwards Expected To Play Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (back) is expected to play against the Bengals in Week 17. Edwards is seemingly on the right side of questionable after getting a limited practice in on Friday. The 25-year-old exceeded 100 scrimmage yards last week and has seen a bigger role with Mark Ingram II essentially relegated to […]

Darius Bazley Scores Season-High 19 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley scored a season-high 19 points in Saturday's 108-99 win over Orlando, adding 12 rebounds to collect his second double-double of the year. He also had a pair of assists and one block while shooting 7-for-10 from the field and 2-for-4 from outside. Bazley's minutes have gone up massively this […]

Optimism That Chase Edmonds Plays In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hip) has a chance to play against the Rams in Week 17. Edmonds has been banged up over the last couple of weeks, though there is optimism surrounding his status ahead of a pivotal, divisional showdown against Los Angeles' tough defense. Edmonds has seen at least five targets in […]

De'Aaron Fox Notches 23 Points In Saturday's Loss

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox scored a team-high 23 points on 8-for-19 shooting in Saturday's 102-94 loss to Houston, adding four assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block with three turnovers. It wasn't a good shooting performance, but Fox did a little bit of everything and he's been producing well across the board […]
