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

John Johnson 3 weeks agoShould 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 […]

John Johnson 3 weeks agoTre 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.

John Johnson 3 weeks agoRaiders 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.

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.
