Gardner Minshew Struggles Against Falcons

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew had a disappointing Week 16, going just 13-for-31 for 181 yards. He threw a touchdown pass to wide receiver Chris Conley and didn't turn the ball over. It was a tough showing for the rookie, who struggled to complete passes. He did add 36 rushing yards on seven carries to […]

Lamar Jackson Throws For Three Scores, Adds 100 Rushing Yards

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got revenge over a Browns team that beat them in Week 4 and sealed up the top seed in the AFC playoffs. Jackson did it with his arm and legs again throwing for 238 yards and three touchdowns while adding 103 yards on the ground. It was the fifth time […]

Michael Thomas Sets Receptions Record In Big Day

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas caught 12 of a season-high 17 targets for 136 yards and a touchdown in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. Thomas broke the NFL's single-season receptions record held by Marvin Harrison, as he caught his 144th pass of the season late in the fourth quarter. The All-Pro […]

Jets Defense Stymies Steelers

The New York Jets Defense played a strong game Sunday, holding the Steelers to 10 points in a game Pittsburgh had to have to keep control of their playoff lives. The Jets intercepted quarterback Devlin Hodges twice to force Mason Rudolph into the game, as Pittsburgh could get nothing going on offense with either QB. The […]

Sam Ficken Sets New Career Long

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts, including a new career-long 54-yarder, in a win over the Steelers on Sunday. Ficken made his lone extra point to complete his perfect kicking day. It was a good afternoon for the career journeyman, but he won't be a recommended start in fantasy next […]

Latavius Murray Stifled By Titans

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray carried the ball seven times for 14 yards and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. Murray couldn't find any room to run against Tennessee, though teammate Alvin Kamara had no such trouble. He's now failed to exceed 50 […]

Trevon Wesco Makes One Catch

New York Jets tight end Trevon Wesco caught his only target for 32 yards Sunday afternoon vs Pittsburgh. Wesco made a big catch on third down and rumbled into the red zone to set up the Jets for an eventual Sam Ficken field goal, but was non-existent otherwise in the passing game. Wesco and Daniel […]

Vyncint Smith Makes Three Catches Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Vyncint Smith caught three of four targets for 32 yards in a win over the Steelers Sunday. Smith was playing in three-WR sets with Demaryius Thomas (knee, ankle) inactive. The former Limestone College Saint has made some big plays downfield for New York this season, but doesn't see the targets […]

Alvin Kamara Busts Out Of Slump With 110 Yards, Two TDs

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara picked up 80 rushing yards with two touchdowns on 11 totes and caught six of seven targets for 30 yards in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. Kamara's nine-week touchdown-less streak is no more, as he explosively broke free for a 40-yard scamper in the third quarter. […]

Robby Anderson Makes Two Catches, Scores

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson caught two of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown vs the Steelers Sunday. Anderson made a beautiful over the shoulder grab in tight coverage for a 23-yard score on the opening drive but was nearly invisible for the rest of the afternoon. The impending free agent […]

John Collins is Available for Monday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (suspension) will be available for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Collins is set to return after serving his 25-game suspension. It doesn't sound like the Hawks are going to limit Collins much, but we'll wait and see if more updates come out. Jabari Parker could lose the most fantasy […]

Kyrie Irving Still Isn't Cleared for Contact

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) hasn't been cleared for contact and is showing no signs of increasing his activities. It's unclear when Irving is going to get back on the court. It doesn't sound like Irving will take the court again this month, so fantasy owners can continue to roll with Spencer Dinwiddie.

Jamison Crowder Goes For 60 Yards

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made four catches for 60 yards in a win vs the Steelers Sunday. Crowder led the Jets with eight targets, but couldn't do much with the work in a low-scoring, defense-first affair. Still, the four catches give Crowder 70 on the season, a new career-high in his first […]

Justise Winslow Won't Play on Monday

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's dealing with a lower back strain, but getting ruled out a full day in advance isn't a good sign. It doesn't appear that Winslow is making much progress at the moment. Derrick Jones has stepped up in […]

Matisse Thybulle Ruled Out Indefinitely

Philadelphia 76ers guard Matisse Thybulle (knee) has been ruled out indefinitely following Saturday's victory over the Wizards. He suffered a right knee sprain in that contest, but didn't come out of the game. He's been a key part of the Sixers rotation, so losing Thybulle is going to hurt. Furkan Korkmaz and James Ennis will […]

Le'Veon Bell Bottled Up Versus Steelers

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed 25 times for 72 yards and caught all four of his targets for an additional 21 yards in a win vs the Steelers Sunday. The Jets fed Bell all the touches he could handle vs his former team, but there was no room to run vs a […]

Drew Brees Throws For 279 Yards And Three Touchdowns

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees completed 27 of 38 pass attempts for 279 yards and three touchdowns in a 38-28 win over the Tennessee Titans. The highlight of the day for Brees was a well-placed, 16-yard dart to Jared Cook with three defenders in the vicinity. The 40-year-old quarterback is on fire right now, […]

Davis Bertans Ruled Out for Monday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He suffered a right quad strain during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game. The Wizards are already ridiculously banged up in the frontcourt. Ian Mahinmi and Anzejs Pasecniks will be asked to fill in without Bertans on […]

George Hill Could Sit on Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (thigh) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He's dealing with a right thigh contusion that he suffered during Saturday's game. Donte Divincenzo should benefit the most if Hill doesn't suit up. However, Wesley Matthews (thigh) and Pat Connaughton would see more minutes as well.

Sam Darnold Limited In Victory

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold completed 16 of 26 passes for 183 yards and a touchdown as the Jets played spoiler vs the Steelers Sunday in New Jersey. Darnold didn't throw an interception but did lose a fumble in the contest. Darnold started the game hot, he threw a dime to Robby Anderson through […]

Wesley Matthews is Probable for Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (thigh) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He missed Saturday's game due to a right thigh contusion. It doesn't sound like the issue is too serious, but the Bucks are going to be cautious with their veteran guard. George Hill (thigh) is questionable, so Matthews […]

Gordon Hayward Won't Play on Sunday

Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's dealing with left foot soreness, but is reportedly making progress. Hayward had a good workout on Sunday and is expected to suit up for Wednesday's game, according to head coach Brad Stevens. Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown, and […]

Kawhi Leonard Ruled Out on Sunday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's not surprising to see Leonard sit out the second game of the back-to-back set. Paul George will be asked to carry the load on offense. Lou Williams, Landry Shamet, and possibly Rodney McGruder could see […]

Luka Doncic Might Be Able to Play Thursday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) reportedly looked good during his pregame workout on Sunday. The Mavs are hopeful that Doncic will be able to get some work in during Tuesday's practice. There's hope that Doncic can play against the Spurs on Thursday. The Mavs aren't going to rush their star player back to the […]

Chris Boswell Connects On Both Kicks In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell drilled a 49-yard field goal along with an extra point in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets. The field goal make gives him 30 on the year after completing just 20 in 2018, so Boswell is enjoying a nice bounce-back campaign. One could only imagine how much better his year […]

Eric Paschall is Questionable for Monday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He tweaked his knee on Friday, but was able to fully practice on Sunday. The MRI on his right knee came back clean, so Paschall should be fine for Monday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to […]

The Steelers Defense Can't Do It All Against Jets

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense held the Jets to just 16 points, while piling up two sacks and a forced fumble in Week 16. TJ Watt continued his breakout season with a strip sack in the second quarter, which led to the Steelers only touchdown before the break. While the defense did their part in slowing […]

Vance McDonald Registers Just Nine Yards Against Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald hauled in three of his six targets for nine yards in Sunday's loss to the New York Jets. The 29-year-old clearly wasn't able to make anything happen with the looks he did receive. After sitting out Week 15 against the Bills, McDonald was hoping to return to greener pastures, […]

James Washington Catches Five Passes In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington caught five of eight targets for 41 yards in Sunday's loss to the Jets. The second-year receiver got shaken up earlier in the game but was able to return, and while he didn't score, he doubled the number of looks that JuJu Smith-Schuster received. Washington and Diontae Johnson have […]

Diontae Johnson Posts Career Day Against Jets

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson caught eight of his nine targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Jets. The rookie hauled in the team's only touchdown just before the end of the first half and continued getting looks, regardless if Devlin Hodges or Mason Rudolph was throwing to […]
