Malik Nabers Expected To Play In Week 17

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malik Nabers (toe) is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but head coach Brian Daboll is "hopeful" that the 21-year-old first-rounder out of LSU will play. Nabers didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but returned to a limited session on Friday. The […]

Ride The Hot Hand Of Tyjae Spears Against Jacksonville

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears is playing like he was built for fantasy football playoffs and draws a plus matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. His two best performances of the season have come in the last two weeks, with a pair of touchdowns in each showing. For PPR leagues, Spears is […]

Chig Okonkwo Continues To Rise As A Fantasy TE Option

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo enters Week 17 on his hottest stretch of the season and will look to keep things rolling against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo has led his team in targets in each of the last two games, being the only player to reach double digits in both. His 21 targets for […]

Teoscar Hernandez Returning To Los Angeles On Three-Year Deal

According to Jon Heyman of the New York Post, free-agent outfielder Teoscar Hernandez is returning to the Los Angeles Dodgers on a three-year contract worth $66 million. Throughout the offseason, the 32-year-old expressed interest in a reunion, and now both sides have agreed to a deal. In his first season as a Dodger, Hernandez spent […]

Ben Simmons Will Not Play Against Spurs

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) will miss Friday's matchup against San Antonio. Following Thursday's clash against Milwaukee, Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez suggested that Simmons might be ready to play both legs of the team's back-to-back, but unfortunately, it won't happen. It's been 23 months since the last time Simmons played on consecutive nights. […]

Josh Downs A Borderline WR3/Flex Play In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs is coming off of his third consecutive game with exactly three catches, although those nine catches came on 19 targets. Fellow wideout Michael Pittman Jr. seemed like Anthony Richardson's preferred option based on his 13 receptions over the last three games, but looking closer, Pittman Jr. had the same […]

Masataka Yoshida On The Trade Market

According to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com, the Boston Red Sox attempted to move designated hitter Masataka Yoshida in a deal that would have brought right-handed pitcher Luis Castillo to Boston. Feinsand reported that the Mariners were looking to acquire first baseman Triston Casas in exchange for Castillo, but rejected the deal as the Red Sox […]

Cameron Johnson Misses Friday's Action

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (hip) will not take the court on Friday against San Antonio. Johnson produced a big 29-point performance with 8-for-13 shooting on Thursday versus Milwaukee but also hurt his right hip in the contest. With Johnson out, we should get a larger dose of Tyrese Martin, and Jalen Wilson should continue […]

Raheem Mostert Should Remain On The Bench In Week 17

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert has had an up-and-down year in 2024. Before Miami's Week 9 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, he was considered an essential part of the ground game. Since the crucial fumble the week prior, he has received 34 touches, with the backfield touches dominated by fellow back De'Von Achane. […]

Bailey Horn Designated For Assignment

The Detroit Tigers have designated left-handed pitcher Bailey Horn for assignment earlier on Friday. This opened up a roster spot for second baseman Gleyber Torres who agreed to a one-year contract with Detroit. Horn made his major league debut last summer and held a 6.50 ERA and a 1.78 WHIP across 18 innings of work. […]

Dillon Brooks Sidelined Again On Friday Night

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks (ankle) won't play in Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, marking his third-consecutive absence. The 28-year-old has had a decent season, averaging 13.6 points. However, his abilities on the defensive end are what Houston have missed the most. With Tari Eason (leg) questionable, the team could look to Cam Whitmore […]

Gary Harris Active On Friday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (hamstring) will be back in the lineup on Friday versus the Knicks. He has been out for 13 games with a left hamstring strain. Harris' addition gives an injury-hit Magic squad an extra body, although it remains to be seen how big of a role the veteran will have in […]

Jason Sanders A Sit Despite Hot Streak In Week 17

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been one of the best kickers in fantasy football over the last several games. He has scored the most fantasy points by any kicker since Week 8 and has made his last 23 field goal attempts. In Week 17, he and the Dolphins will travel to Cleveland to take […]

Obi Toppin Misses Friday's Game

Indiana Pacers power forward Obi Toppin (ankle) will not play against Boston on Friday. Toppin injured his left ankle in Thursday's 120-114 loss to Oklahoma City and will miss at least one game because of the injury. Jarace Walker should fill his minutes off the bench. From a fantasy perspective, Walker can be a bit […]

Kristaps Porzingis Out Versus Indiana

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) won't suit up on Friday versus the Pacers. The veteran tweaked his ankle in the Christmas Day loss to the 76ers. He stayed in the game for a while after it happened, so there's a good chance the team is being overly cautious. In the meantime, Al Horford will […]

Jonnu Smith A TE1 Despite Tough Conditions Against Browns

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith has had the best season of his career and has become one of the most crucial pieces to the offense. Since Week 8, Smith has been the TE1 and is fifth in touchdowns on the year. Week 17 presents a matchup with the Cleveland Browns, who rank 11th in […]

Andrew Nembhard Out On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against Boston. He will sit out the second night of a back-to-back for left knee injury management purposes. Nembhard went off for a season-high 23 points in 29 minutes on Thursday versus Oklahoma City. Ben Sheppard might be Nembhard's replacement in the […]

Jrue Holiday Out Against The Pacers

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) will remain out on Friday against the Pacers. The 34-year-old is battling right shoulder impingement, although it's unknown how severe it is. With Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) also sidelined versus Indiana, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Derrick White could each receive a few more scoring opportunities. Sam Hauser, averaging 16.5 […]

Commanders Defense Projects To Be Low-End Streaming Option In Week 17

The Washington Commanders defense should be viewed as a desperation streaming option this weekend when they face the Atlanta Falcons. Last weekend, they could not contain Saquon Barkley as he tallied 150 yards and two scores on the ground. This week they have another tough matchup ahead of them facing Bijan Robinson. However, the pass […]

Zane Gonzalez A Risky Streaming Option Against Atlanta

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is a risky streaming option in Week 17 when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Gonzalez has filled in for the injured Austin Seibert (groin), who has been on the IR since Week 12. As the replacement option, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on attempts and a perfect 14-for-14 on extra points. […]

Zach Ertz A Risky Play In Week 17

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz is a risky play this weekend facing the Atlanta Falcons. Ertz suffered a concussion during their Week 15 victory over the New Orleans Saints but was able to turn the corner in time to suit up last weekend. However, the veteran tight end caught just one of his two […]

Jamison Crowder Slated For Increased Role

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder is set for an increased role on Sunday evening against the Atlanta Falcons. With Dyami Brown (hamstring) ruled out, Crowder now sits as the No.3 wide receiver on the depth chart. Crowder played the hero last weekend, catching two of his four targets for two touchdowns, including the game-winning […]

Scottie Scheffler Withdraws From The Sentry With Hand Injury

Scottie Scheffler has withdrawn from The Sentry and is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hand injury. Scheffler, currently the top-ranked player in the Official World Golf Rankings, suffered a puncture wound to his right hand while preparing Christmas dinner. The injury required surgery to remove glass fragments, according to Scheffler's manager, Blake Smith. […]

Olamide Zaccheaus A Viable Flex Option In Week 17

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus is set for an increased role on Sunday evening with Dyami Brown (hamstring) ruled out. Last weekend, Zacchaeus made the most of his opportunities by bringing in five of his eight targets for 70 yards and two scores. Zacchaeus saw his role increase once Brown exited early with a […]

Jeremy McNichols Not A Viable Fantasy Option In Week 17

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols should not be started in any format this weekend when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Even with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, McNichols has only seen a light uptick in opportunities. Instead, Brian Robinson Jr. has taken on more passing work. Over the past two weeks, McNichols has logged just […]

Brian Robinson Jr. Looking To Rebound Against Atlanta

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is looking to bounce back when he faces the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday night after a disappointing Week 16 output. Last weekend against Philadelphia, Robinson ran for just 24 yards on 10 attempts and lost two fumbles. Even though the Commanders were trailing for most of the contest, […]

William Eklund Will Not Play On Friday

San Jose Sharks left wing William Eklund (undisclosed) will drop out of the lineup on Friday versus Vegas. He was injured in Monday's matchup against Vancouver and needs more time to recover. The 22-year-old is considered day-to-day. Eklund has been San Jose's second-highest scorer this season, registering 27 points (seven goals, 20 assists) in 36 […]

Jayden Daniels Carries QB1 Upside On Sunday Night

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be locked into all lineups on Sunday evening when he faces the Atlanta Falcons. Daniels is coming off one of the most impressive wins of his rookie campaign, where he threw five scores and tallied 339 all-purpose yards in a comeback victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Over his […]
