Durham Smythe Has Three Catches In Week 17

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe caught all three targets for 54 yards in Sunday's hideous loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old had a season-high five catches in the narrow win over the Cowboys on Christmas Eve. But with Jaylen Waddle (ankle) sidelined, Smythe had potential to see more attention from Tua Tagovailoa. Unfortunately, […]

Kenneth Walker III Expected To Return On Sunday

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is expected to return to Sunday's matchup with the Steelers. The 23-year-old was listed as questionable heading into this contest because of the shoulder injury, so his exit is obviously concerning for fantasy managers. Fortunately, he should be back, barring a setback. But if Walker doesn't return, […]

Tee Higgins Returns On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) returned to Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs. Higgins had three touchdowns in the last two games entering the contest, so he is likely starting in more fantasy lineups than in previous weeks. With the Bengals up four points midway through the third quarter, there's a good chance he'll […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Finds The End Zone On Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. had two catches for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Baltimore. Jaylen Waddle (ankle) wasn't available, meaning additional targets were up for grabs. Although Tyreek Hill was the obvious beneficiary, Wilson at least turned one of his grabs into a trip to the end zone. […]

Tyreek Hill Finishes With Six Grabs In Week 17

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill finished with six catches for 76 yards in Sunday's embarrassing loss to the Ravens. Without Jaylen Waddle (ankle) in the lineup, Hill was targeted 12 times on the day. Unfortunately, he only secured half of them, and he also couldn't find the end zone for the 13th time in […]

De'Von Achane Runs For Over 100 Yards On Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane finished with 107 yards off 14 carries in Sunday's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He added four catches, with one resulting in a touchdown, for 30 yards. Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) wasn't active, so the rookie was the featured back for Miami in Week 17. Although he was […]

DeVonta Smith In A Walking Boot

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (foot) struggled in Sunday's improbable loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The wideout had just three catches for 30 yards to finish with one of his worst showings of the 2023-24 campaign. But more importantly, Smith suffered a right foot injury late in the contest, with NBC Philly's Dave Zangaro […]

Tua Tagovailoa "Just Sore" After Week 17 Exit

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (shoulder) exited Sunday's blowout loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He didn't return. The signal-caller injured his left shoulder late in the fourth quarter, so the decision was made to keep him out for the remainder of the contest. Fortunately, Tagovailoa reported postgame that his shoulder is "good," adding that he […]

Keldon Johnson Battling Back Spasms

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (back) is questionable on Sunday against Boston. The 24-year-old has been coming off the bench of late. However, he's still played well for the most part, recently scoring 29 points in Friday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. That said, if Johnson misses his first game in over a […]

Zach Collins Out On Sunday With An Ankle Injury

San Antonio Spurs forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) won't play on Sunday against Boston. With Victor Wembanyama resting on Friday night against the Spurs, Collins got more work. He scored 17 points in that one. Unfortunately, Collins only lasted 18 minutes before exiting with a sprained right ankle. The Spurs also could be without Keldon Johnson […]

Jrue Holiday Questionable Versus The Spurs

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) is questionable for Sunday's meeting with the Spurs. The 33-year-old has regressed in his first season with the Celtics, averaging 13.1 points, more than six points fewer than he had during the 2022-23 campaign while still a member of the Bucks. However, he remains a valuable fantasy commodity, so […]

Nicolas Claxton Expected To Play Against OKC

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (illness) is expected to suit up on Sunday versus OKC. He's under the weather. However, it seems he's feeling better, or at least well enough to play. At any rate, the 24-year-old has played well this season, averaging 11.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks. He's also shooting a career-high […]

Onyeka Okongwu Won't Play On Sunday

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu (illness) is out on Sunday versus the Wizards. He was listed as doubtful, so his absence against Washington isn't a surprise by any means. At any rate, Clint Capela will likely handle more minutes underneath the basket. But Bruno Fernando could get involved, although he's a shaky fantasy option in […]

Trae Young Available Against Washington

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) will play on Sunday against Washington. The 25-year-old appeared on the injury report because of a right knee contusion. However, he's good to go, much to the relief of fantasy managers. Young has had an All-Star season through his first 29 games of the 2023-24 campaign. But he is […]

Alvin Kamara Expected To Be Active In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) is expected to get the green light for Sunday's meeting with the Tampa Bay Bucs. He's under the weather, resulting in a questionable tag entering Week 17. But it appears the veteran will be good to go, which is good news for the Saints, a team barely […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Unlikely To Play Versus The Chargers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The rookie has 361 yards and a touchdown off 21 receptions this season, making him the third-most productive wideout for Denver. With Courtland Sutton (concussion) out in Week 17, Mims could have gotten more involved. However, […]

Jerry Jeudy Should Be Good To Go On Sunday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (illness) is anticipated to suit up on Sunday against the Chargers. The wideout appeared on the injury report because of an illness. However, it appears he's feeling better, so he should be good to go in Week 17, barring a setback. Jeudy hasn't had the breakout year most had […]

Raheem Mostert Not Expected To Play In Week 17

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. It's a tough blow for the Dolphins. It's also not an ideal scenario for fantasy managers, considering Mostert has 21 touchdowns this season. But with Miami and Buffalo potentially battling […]

Sam LaPorta Has Seven Grabs Versus Dallas

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta finished with 84 yards off a team-high seven catches in Saturday's loss to the Cowboys. The rookie was targeted 12 times by Jared Goff on the night. While he didn't find the end zone, it was a much better showing than the one he had versus the Vikings in […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Scores A Touchdown On Saturday

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had 90 yards off six catches in Saturday's one-point loss to the Cowboys. Although it wasn't the wideout's most potent performance of the 2023-24 campaign, he at least found the end zone, courtesy of an 11-yard toss from Jared Goff late in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, St. Brown […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Goes Cold In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs logged 15 carries for 43 yards in Saturday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. David Montgomery led the way out of the backfield, with the former Bear finishing with 65 yards and a touchdown off 14 attempts. Unfortunately, Gibbs couldn't make up for it on the receiving end, considering he […]

David Montgomery Finds The End Zone Again On Saturday

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery had 14 carries for 65 yards in Saturday's narrow loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Jahmyr Gibbs had one more attempt to finish with 43 yards on the night. However, the 26-year-old was more productive, scoring a touchdown for the second straight game to bring his total to 12 on […]

Jared Goff Throws Two Picks On Saturday Night

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff threw for 271 yards, one touchdown, and two picks off 19-for-34 passing in the controversial, one-point loss to Dallas on Saturday night. The signal-caller had a magical five-touchdown effort versus the Broncos in Week 15. However, after throwing just one touchdown in Week 16 against Minnesota, Goff couldn't do much […]

Michael Pittman Jr. Likely To Play In Week 17

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (concussion, shoulder) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Raiders. Pittman didn't play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, allowing Josh Downs, Kylen Granson, and Alec Pierce to combine for 23 targets from Gardner Minshew. All three players should continue to be involved on […]

Austin Ekeler - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in all fantasy leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-ceiling fantasy back ANALYSIS: Austin Ekeler has been a top fantasy option for many years. He's had 410 carries and 177 catches in the last two seasons. The 28-year-old also totaled 38 touchdowns during that span, so it's more than apparent he's a big part of […]

Tee Higgins - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Flex option all in formats POSITIONAL VALUE: Risky, high-ceiling fantasy wideout ANALYSIS: In one of the top rivalries in the National Football League, Kansas City and Cincinnati will go toe-to-toe for the fifth time in nearly two years. Unlike previous contests, both teams are in much different positions. Without question, Patrick Mahomes, Travis […]

Rashee Rice - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in all fantasy lineups POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end fantasy wide receiver ANALYSIS: The Bengals and Chiefs will meet for the fifth time since January 2022. Cincinnati has the edge during that span, winning three of the four meetings. Undoubtedly, things will look different this time around, as Joe Burrow won't be under center […]

Caleb Martin Sidelined Again

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out on Saturday night versus Utah. He'll now miss his second straight game because of a sprained right ankle. Fortunately, Miami will have Jimmy Butler (calf) back after missing the last four games, so that will help lessen the blow caused by Martin's absence. There's also a chance […]

Kyle Lowry Out Again On Saturday Night

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (head) won't play on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. The veteran will now miss his second consecutive game because of a head contusion, although there's a chance he could return on Monday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Nonetheless, Lowry has averaged only 9.4 points this season, one of the lowest […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Good To Go Versus Utah

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) will play on Saturday against the Utah Jazz. He was questionable because of a non-COVID-related illness, although it doesn't appear he was in any real jeopardy of missing this contest. The rookie has played well above expectations during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.8 points in 31 games, including […]
