Kai Forbath a Strong Fantasy Option in Week 17

Dallas Cowboys kicker Kai Forbath is a solid kicking option for Week 17 fantasy lineups. Forbath was the entire Cowboys offense in Week 16, kicking three field goals in a game where the Cowboys scored just nine points. He should have a few more chances to kick in Week 17 against a struggling Washington defense.

Blake Jarwin Not a Starting Option for Week 17 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin is not a strong option for any Week 17 fantasy lineups. Jarwin has flashed a bit this season, but playing behind Jason Witten on an offense that doesn't feature the tight end position has left Jarwin with just 31 catches for 365 yards this season. Jarwin is a free […]

Dion Lewis (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues OWNED IN: 27% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If you’re playing in Week 17 and you’re looking for a running back to potentially start, Dion Lewis is someone to keep an eye on. The biggest factor here is Derrick Henry and his hamstring. While he is expected to return in Week […]

Jason Witten a Low-Upside Pick for Week 17

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten is a low-upside option for Week 17 fantasy lineups. Witten made just two catches for 14 yards in Week 16 and could be in for a similar outing this time around. The Cowboys will likely focus on the running game and their top two wide receivers. Witten always has […]

Randall Cobb Not a Strong Option in Week 17 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb is not a strong option in fantasy lineups for Week 17. Cobb caught five passes in Week 16, gaining 73 yards, but he's likely to regress this time around. With the Cowboys facing a must-win scenario, Cobb will fall well behind Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup in targets. There's […]

Mitch Trubisky (QB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues OWNED IN: 23% of Leagues ANALYSIS: If your fantasy football championship is in Week 17 and you’re in a deeper Superflex or 2QB league, then this one is for you. The Bears are taking on the Vikings in Week 17, who have been tough against opposing quarterbacks. The Vikings have […]

Michael Gallup a Solid WR2 Option for Week 17

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup should be a solid WR2 option in a Week 17 matchup against Washington. Gallup had a strong Week 16 despite the entire Cowboys offense struggling, hauling in five catches for 98 yards. He'll be needed in order for the Cowboys to keep their playoff chances alive in a must-win […]

Amari Cooper Looks to Bounce Back in Week 17

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper will look to bounce back from a rough performance in a Week 17 matchup against Washington. Cooper caught just four passes in Week 16, totaling 24 yards despite receiving a dozen targets. Cooper disappeared at the times when he was most needed, leading to the ire of many analysts […]

Tony Pollard Not Worth a Start in Week 17

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard is not worth starting in fantasy lineups for Week 17. The Cowboys will be in must-win mode against Washington, and with a possibly-ailing Dak Prescott (shoulder) leading the offense, things may go through the ground game. Ezekiel Elliott will be a near every-down player, leaving Pollard to only […]

Ezekiel Elliott a Top Option in Week 17 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will be one of the top backfield options in Week 17 fantasy lineups. "Zeke" and the Cowboys will be taking on Washington in a must-win game. The Washington defense struggles against opposing running backs, and with quarterback Dak Prescott still potentially dealing with a shoulder ailment, the Cowboys offense […]

Dak Prescott Set For a Strong Week 17

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott struggled mightily in Week 16 but should be set up for a solid bounce-back performance against Washington in Week 17. In a game the Cowboys absolutely must win (and then hope for an Eagles loss), Prescott should be ranked as a top-five fantasy option. Coming off a scoreless 265-yard performance, […]

Pair of Goals From Brayden Schenn Seals Victory for Blues

St. Louis Blues forward Brayden Schenn scored a pair of first-period goals Monday night, including one with the man advantage. Schenn led all Blues forwards with two goals and three shots, despite logging only 16:08 minutes of ice time, which was his third-lowest usage of the season. The slightly limited minutes is more likely a […]

Jalen Ramsey Ruled Out For Week 17

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey (knee) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Cardinals. Ramsey suffered a knee injury in the Week 16 game against the 49ers last weekend, and it makes no sense for the team to push him after the Rams were eliminated from postseason contention. Head coach Sean McVay […]

Seahawks To Lean On Travis Homer

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team will "lean on" running back Travis Homer in a huge Week 17 divisional matchup against the 49ers. Carroll isn't ready to say how much of a workload Marshawn Lynch will have after having not played all season. The same can be said for Robert Turbin, who […]

Derrick Henry, Corey Davis, Adam Humphries At Practice Tuesday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receivers Corey Davis (concussion) and Adam Humphries (ankle) were present for the team's walkthrough practice on Tuesday. Henry was already expected to return in Week 17 in a must-win game against the Texans after the team rested him in Week 16. It looks like the Titans […]

Eagles Defense a So-So Option in Week 17

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense makes for a decent option in Week 17 against the New York Giants. The Eagles looked great against the Cowboys in Week 16, but the Giants have shown some big-play ability and will want to play their hardest to keep the division-rival Eagles out of the playoffs. It's a bit of […]

Alex Iafallo Chips in Lone Goal for Kings in Loss

Los Angeles Kings forward Alex Iafallo scored a power-play goal in the closing minutes of the first period, putting a cap on the scoring Monday night as the Kings lost to the Blues 4-1. Now with 18 points in 39 games, Iafallo is on pace to eclipse his career-best 33 points from last season. He […]

Jake Elliott Looks to Get Back on Track in Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott will look to get back on track in Week 17 against the New York Giants. Elliott missed two field goals in Week 16 and has been hot-and-cold since starting off the season without a miss until Week 13. He should have several chances to kick in what is a win-and-in […]

Dallas Goedert Could Have a Huge Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert could have an enormous Week 17 against the New York Giants. Goedert caught nine passes for 91 yards and a touchdown in Week 16 with Zach Ertz going in and out of the game with a rib injury. Ertz is "truly questionable" for Week 17 with that rib injury, […]

Zach Ertz a Very Risky Play in Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz will be questionable for Week 17 and could be an extremely risky play even if he is cleared to play. Ertz suffered a rib injury in Week 16 and was in visible pain after his return. Even if Ertz plays, he could be used more as a decoy and […]

Gordon Hayward is Probable for Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's missed each of the last three games due to left foot soreness. Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams will see reduced roles with Hayward likely back in the rotation. Hayward should be a reliable fantasy option in most […]

Quinn Hughes Leads Late Surge, Lifting Canucks Over Oilers

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes scored the game-winning goal Monday night as the Canucks defeated the Oilers 4-2. The goal came midway through the third period on the power play, with assists from J.T. Miller and Brock Boeser. Hughes snapped a three-game scoreless streak with the goal and now has 27 points in 37 games […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Unlikely To Do Much in Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is not a solid fantasy option for any Week 17 matchups. Despite a good matchup against the New York Giants and a critical game for the Eagles, Arcega-Whiteside is still unlikely to work in anything more than a complementary role. He's been near the top of the wide […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play on Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. This was expected as Smart continues to deal with eye infections in both his eyes. It sounds like Smart wants to get back on the court by the end of the month. Until then, Gordon Hayward (foot) and […]

Greg Ward Could Be a Sneaky Pick for Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward could be a surprisingly decent fantasy option in Week 17. With the Eagles in a must-win game against the New York Giants, Ward will sit atop the wide receiver depth chart. With Zach Ertz (ribs) questionable, Ward could draw more targets than usual. With a struggling Giants secondary tasked […]

Taj Gibson is Questionable Against Nets

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He didn't play on Monday due to an illness, which let Mitchell Robinson jump into the starting five. Robinson didn't play great on Monday, but he does have fantasy value. However, the Knicks are loaded in the […]

Boston Scott No Longer Fantasy Relevant

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott will lose most of his fantasy relevance in Week 17 due to the return of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Scott had some good moments and flashed some play making ability, but he was always playing behind rookie Miles Sanders and will now be behind him and Jordan Howard as well. […]

Marcus Morris is Questionable for Thursday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (Achilles) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He missed Monday's game due to an Achilles issue, but the team isn't going to rush him back to the court. The Knicks season isn't going well and Morris is a decent trade piece for them. They want to […]

Miles Sanders an RB1 Choice in Week 17 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders will be an RB1 option in Week 17 lineups despite the expected return of Jordan Howard (shoulder). Sanders has taken over the backfield in Howard's absence and should retain a key role, especially in the passing game. Sanders came up with 156 yards from scrimmage and a touchdown […]

Oscar Klefbom Scores in Loss to Vancouver

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Oscar Klefbom scored his fourth goal of the season on Monday as the Oilers fell to the Canucks. The second-period goal was Klefbom's second power-play goal of the season and staked Edmonton to a 2-1 lead that would later collapse into a 4-2 loss. Klefbom now has 23 points in 40 games, […]
