Is Diontae Johnson Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been un-startable, and un-rosterable since the Carolina Panthers traded him to his new team. There are a few reasons for this, but chiefly they revolve around character issues, which Johnson is ignominiously known for.  He was seen as a diva with the Pittsburgh Steelers, which shouldn't be a […]

Is Sincere McCormick Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) looked like a legitimate starting option in a lot of fantasy football leagues heading into Week 15.

Is Dallas Goedert Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is dealing with a knee injury that's now sidelined him for two games.

He has effectively […]

Should I Pickup Alexander Mattison or Ameer Abdullah? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

After suffering an injury, Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) will miss the rest of the season.

[…]

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) was previously expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 season due to a shoulder injury he suffered in a preseason game, but he may now be returning for this season after all.

When Is Aidan O'Connell Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 16 (2024)

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) probably could have gotten his team over the hump and earned them a victory in their Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Instead, he had to watch from the sidelines as backup QB Desmond Ridder failed to get much offense going at all. The team came close […]

When Is George Pickens Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 16 (2024)

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) has shown his value to his team nearly as much being off the field as he has by being on it.

When Is Will Dissly Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 16 (2024)

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) was catapulted to fringe fantasy relevance by the absolute lack of other pass-catching weapons on the Chargers offense this season. Unfortunately, he's dealing with a shoulder injury that he picked up in Week 14. He wasn't able to play at all the subsequent week.  Now, his Week […]

Is Derek Carr Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (hand, concussion) is dealing with fractures in his non-throwing hand and a concussion at this time.

Is Evan Engram Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) missed his team's Week 15 game due to a shoulder injury.

Is Kenneth Walker III Out For the Season? Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) has now missed two consecutive games in Weeks 14-15 with a calf injury.

We're on to the second round of the fantasy football playoffs, and now more than ever, it's crucial to stay updated on injury situations.

Should I Pickup Romeo Doubs or Jalen McMillan? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

It's never too late in the season for receivers to break out. Or for them to have anomalistically good production that's bound to regress. Or for them to break out a second time and for this breakout to be real. Or they could have a game that's not necessarily an outlier in terms of usage […]

Should I Pickup Craig Reynolds or Sione Vaki? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (knee) unfortunately suffered an MCL injury in his team's Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills. His season is now over.

Sincere McCormick Produces Little, Then Exits Contest With Injury

Las Vegas Raiders running back Sincere McCormick (ankle) carried the ball seven times for eight rushing yards and caught two passes for 17 yards against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15 before having his leg trapped under a defender's tackle and awkwardly bending enough to cause an injury. He was initially said to be questionable, […]

Ameer Abdullah Has Another Big Fantasy Day

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah got a bigger role due to the injury to RB Sincere McCormick (ankle) in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He carried the ball three times for just eight yards, but his seven catches on seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown helped […]

Alexander Mattison Inefficient, Loses Crucial Fumble In Relief Effort

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison showed the world why he was benched for Sincere McCormick (ankle) by fumbling the ball into the end zone in his team's Week 15 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The opposing defense wasn't able to recover the loose ball, but it still counted for a safety. Mattison ended […]

Tre Tucker Unproductive In Week 15 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker caught two of his three targets for 18 yards and didn't record a rush in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He's becoming an afterthought in this offense, though the offense was mostly an afterthought anyway overall. Without QB Aidan O'Connell (knee) leading the […]

Raiders D/ST Latest Beneficiary Of Falcons Ineptitude In Week 15

Somehow, despite being loaded with talent, the Atlanta Falcons offense continues to underwhelm lately, and the Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams benefitted from that by scoring nine fantasy points on Monday. They sacked quarterback Kirk Cousins three times, intercepted him once, and allowed just 13 points and 261 total yards of offense in a loss. […]

Daniel Carlson Makes One Long Field Goal, Has Extra Point Blocked In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson nailed a 52-yard field goal with 11:44 left in the second quarter in his team's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 15. He didn't get another chance to kick until an extra point attempt late in the fourth quarter, but that try was blocked. That's not 100% his […]

Jakobi Meyers Catches Five Passes In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers simply wasn't thrown the ball enough by quarterback Desmond Ridder in the team's 15-9 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night. Though Meyers ended up with nine targets, Ridder took too long to start getting the ball into one of his best playmaker's hands. Meyers is a […]

Desmond Ridder Struggles In Week 15 Loss

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Desmond Ridder attempted 39 passes and completed 23 throws for 208 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in Monday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Unsurprisingly, he didn't throw his first TD pass until the game was nearly out of reach -- it happened with under three minutes left in the fourth […]

Brock Bowers Has Pedestrian Night In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers was targeted just six times and caught three passes for 35 yards in the Monday night loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Quarterback Desmond Ridder, who was starting in place of the injured Aidan O'Connell (knee), simply did not look the rookie sensation's way many times. Ridder has […]

Should I Pickup Jerome Ford or Kendre Miller? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

There's a solid group of running backs available for waiver wire claims heading into Week 16, which isn't something we're accustomed to seeing, generally.

Should I Pickup Tyjae Spears or Tank Bigsby? Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16

The running back position is quite scarce in fantasy football, and due to injuries to star RBs like David Montgomery (knee) and Alvin Kamara (groin), teams advancing in the playoffs may already be looking for replacements. There could also be managers who need more depth at the position, just in case. Tennessee Titans running back […]

What Time is Monday Night Football? Week 15 NFL Schedule

We're lucky enough to have a divisional matchup coming up […]

Alexander Mattison Will Serve As The Backup, Not Worth Starting In Fantasy

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) practiced fully three days in a row leading up to his team's Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons. He will be the backup to lead RB Sincere McCormick, so he's probably not worth starting. He's averaged just 3.3 yards per carry so far this year, and […]
