Trevor Lawrence - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence should be avoided in all one-QB formats against the New England Patriots in Week 17. Lawrence hasn't thrown more than one touchdown pass since Week 1, and he's surpassed 15 fantasy points just four times all season long. Additionally, the Patriots have been elite against opposing quarterbacks this season, allowing […]

Drew Lock - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ankle) practiced in full the last two days and was removed from the final injury report for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Teddy Bridgewater Officially Ruled Out

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) wasn't cleared from the league's concussion protocol this week and has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Lamar Jackson Given Questionable Tag

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Friday but is listed as questionable to play in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Jimmy Garoppolo Doubtful, Trey Lance Expected To Start

The San Francisco 49ers listed quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) as doubtful to play in Week 17 against the Houston Texans after he didn't practice all week.

Taysom Hill - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill is in the streaming conversation as a low-end QB1 for Week 17 against Carolina. Hill missed Week 16 after landing on the COVID list but is expected to be back for this week's contest. The QB hasn't been all that effective in the passing game as he has posted […]

Justin Fields Questionable For Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday and veteran passer Andy Dalton has been named the starter for Week 17. The rookie appears to still be banged up enough for the Bears to err on the side of caution with their future franchise passer. He hasn't been officially ruled out […]

Andy Dalton To Start Against Giants

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed on Friday that quarterback Andy Dalton will start in Week 17 against the New York Giants. With rookie Justin Fields (ankle) listed as questionable, Nick Foles, who started and got the win over the Seattle Seahawks last week, will be Dalton's backup. The Bears want Fields fully healthy […]

Andy Dalton To Start Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Andy Dalton has been named the starter for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Giants.

Is Jimmy Garoppolo Playing This Week? Should I Start Trey Lance in Week 17?

In fantasy football drafts this summer, many identified the 49ers rookies, quarterback Trey Lance and running back Trey Sermon as clear draft targets. Both appeared to be talented players heading into excellent situations, in addition to a tremendously favorable playoff schedule. Unfortunately, this didn't turn out as planned. Sermon was at times the team's fifth […]

Patrick Mahomes - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Russell Wilson Vague On His Future In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is hoping that Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions won't be the last time he plays at Lumen Field as the team's QB.

Jared Goff Doubtful To Play In Week 17

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that quarterback Jared Goff (knee) is "doubtful" to play on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17.

Sam Darnold - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold isn't a worthy fantasy option in Week 17 against the Saints. Darnold will get the start over Cam Newton against New Orleans after returning last week from IR (shoulder). The 24-year-old managed 190 yards against the Bucs in Week 16. After a strong start to the season, Darnold was inconsistent […]

Ben Roethlisberger - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will take on the Cleveland Browns at home in Week 17's Monday Night Football contest. Roethlisberger did not perform well against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16, throwing for just 159 yards and one touchdown. He will try to bounce back against a Browns team that he threw for […]

Jalen Hurts - Week 17 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has an excellent matchup against the Washington Football Team in Week 17. Hurts has been a QB1 11 times this season and has an excellent chance for a 12th on Sunday. The Washington defense was destroyed by the Cowboys last week and should be easily shredded by Hurts either through […]

Aaron Rodgers Has Yet To Practice This Week

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (toe) hasn't practiced this week, but he should be just fine to suit up on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. Rodgers hasn't been practicing much since suffering a broken pinkie toe, but he's played through the injury the last five games and has 16 touchdowns […]

Erik McCoy Placed On COVID-19 List

The New Orleans Saints added starting center Erik McCoy to the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday and activated defensive ends Carl Granderson and Jalyn Holmes from the list. McCoy is just another addition to the team's growing COVID-19 list, and he's unlikely to be active for Sunday's game against the division-rival Carolina Panthers. With McCoy likely […]
