Greg Olsen Hints At Retirement
Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen hinted at retirement after the Week 17 blowout loss to the Saints. "Sometimes the writing’s on the wall," Olsen said. The veteran tight end caught just two passes for 12 yards to close out the year. He managed to stay healthy after an injury riddled 2018 season, but he […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJaron Brown Injured Sunday Night
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaron Brown (knee) suffered a knee injury on the first series of the Week 17 Sunday night game against the 49ers and was immediately ruled out for the rest of the contest. It left the Seahawks with just Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf, David Moore and John Ursua. Malik Turner (concussion) was […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoRon Rivera Expected To Be Next Redskins Head Coach
The Washington Redskins are expected to hire former Panthers head coach Ron Rivera as their next head coach, and he will interview with the team on Monday. Rivera was fired by Carolina this year after a disappointing season. In his nine years as the Panthers head man, Rivera went 76-63-1, including going 3-4 in the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDeMarcus Lawrence Questionable To Return In Week 17
Dallas Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence (rib) was injured in Week 17 against the Redskins and is questionable to return. It's bad news for a Cowboys Defense in a must-win game against Washington, but the Cowboys may not even need him in the second half to beat the 'Skins, as they are up 20-10 at […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyron Smith Inactive Against Redskins
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (back) is officially inactive for Week 17 against the Redskins. This must-win game for the Cowboys is still very winnable against a poor Redskins team missing their entire starting secondary, but Smith's absence is a big loss for this offensive line and for quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott had a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKyler Murray Active, Charles Clay Out For Week 17
Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is active for Week 17 against the Rams, while tight end Charles Clay (calf) is inactive. Murray was a game-time decision, but he'll suit up for the final game of his rookie season. The first overall pick has been up and down in his first season, but overall […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDede Westbrook, Gardner Minshew Active In Week 17
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and quarterback Gardner Minshew (shoulder) are both active for Week 17 against the Colts. Running back Leonard Fournette (neck) and cornerback A.J. Bouye (wrist) have been officially ruled out. Westbrook's fantasy upside is limited with both D.J. Chark and Chris Conley commanding targets in this run-first offense, […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMark Andrews Inactive, Marquise Brown Active
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) is inactive for Week 17 against the Steelers, while rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) is active. Running back Mark Ingram, quarterback Lamar Jackson, free safety Earl Thomas, defensive end Brandon Williams and offensive guard Marshal Yanda join the inactives list as the Ravens rest up for the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKenny Stills, Bradley Roby Out In Week 17
Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills (knee), cornerback Bradley Roby (hamstring) and left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) are inactive for Week 17 against the Titans. If this were a must-win game, they'd most likely all be active. But Houston has decided to rest them with a playoff game upcoming next weekend. The other starters that […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoDeshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins Active Against Titans
Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson (back) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) are both active for Week 17 against the Titans. Both players were in danger of being rested ahead of wild-card weekend, but they will be active for the start of this game. That doesn't mean they won't be moved to the bench at […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKenny Golladay Suffers Head Injury
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (head) is being evaluated for a concussion in Week 17 against the Packers. Before leaving, Golladay had three grabs for 72 yards. With nothing to play for in the regular season finale, we'd be surprised if Golladay returns for this game, which would be really bad news for those […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAnthony Miller, Cordarrelle Patterson Injured Sunday
Chicago Bears wide receivers Anthony Miller (shoulder) and Cordarrelle Patterson (concussion) were both injured in Week 17 against the Vikings. Miller is questionable to return, while Patterson has been ruled out. In this meaningless game, we wouldn't expect Miller to return to the regular season finale. Miller caught his only target for five yards before […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoFreddie Kitchens On His Way Out Of Cleveland?
The Cleveland Browns have been doing due diligence and making calls on potential new head coaches for 2020, which is a bad sign for current head coach Freddie Kitchens. The Browns have flopped in 2019 in Kitchens' first year as the top dog in Cleveland. They are 6-9 and in third place in the AFC […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJason Garrett Likely To Be Dismissed
The Dallas Cowboys are expected to move on from long-time head coach Jason Garrett in the event they are eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17. If Garrett is fired, Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley, Baylor head coach Matt Rhule and former Panthers head coach Ron Rivera are expected to be candidates in Dallas. Garrett has […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoKyler Murray Expected To Play Sunday
The Arizona Cardinals are planning for rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring), who is a game-time decision for Week 17 against the Rams, to play on Sunday, according to sources. The only way that Murray will be ruled out is if his hamstring bothers him during pregame warmups. It's good news for anyone that was counting […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoTyron Smith Not Expected To Play Against Redskins
Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (back), who missed three days of practice with a back injury this week, is not expected to play in Week 17's must-win game against the Redskins, according to sources. Smith will test his back in pre-game warmups. Smith's absence wouldn't be a death sentence against Washington, but it'd certainly […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoZach Ertz Dealing With Cracked Rib, Lacerated Kidney
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (kidney, rib), who is out for Week 17 against the Giants, is dealing with a cracked rib and a lacerated kidney, according to sources. Ertz was in the hospital after Week 16, but he's not being ruled out for a potential wild-card game next week if the Eagles beat […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMark Andrews, Marquise Brown Not Expected To Play
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness), who are both questionable for Week 17 against the Steelers, are not expected to play, according to sources. The Ravens have no reason to risk further injury to their top two pass-catchers with home-field advantage already locked up for the AFC […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoMatt Prater Active Against Packers
Detroit Lions kicker Matt Prater (illness) is active for Week 17 against the Packers. With Detroit's offense playing out the string in a lost season and struggling to put up points with third-string quarterback David Blough at the helm, Prater must be avoided in all fantasy formats for the Week 17 regular season finale. He's […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoBills Resting John Brown, Cole Beasley, Devin Singletary, Others
Buffalo Bills wide receivers John Brown and Cole Beasley, rookie running back Devin Singletary, rookie tight end Dawson Knox, defensive end Shaq Lawson (hamstring) and cornerback Tre'Davious White are all inactive for Week 17 against the Jets. The Bills are locked into a wild-card game next weekend, so they'll rest most of their starters in […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoRobby Anderson Active, Demaryius Thomas Out Again
New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (calf) is active for Week 17 against the Bills, while wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will be sidelined again. Anderson will suit up for what very well could be his last contest with Gang Green. The 26-year-old has mostly been a disappointment as a deep threat for […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAlexander Mattison Inactive, Kirk Cousins Active
Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is inactive for Week 17 against the Bears. Quarterback Kirk Cousins will be active for the start of the game. With both Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Mattison out, it should be Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah sharing the backfield duties against Chicago in this meaningless game. Abdullah […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJulian Edelman, Sony Michel Active Against Dolphins
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) and running back Sony Michel (illness) are both active for Week 17 against the Dolphins. Edelman continues to receive treatment for tendinitis in his left knee, and his injured shoulder is worse than most people can possibly imagine. He'll gut it out at less than 100 […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAllen Hurns Won't Play In Season Finale
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle, neck) is inactive for Week 17 against the Patriots. Hurns will end the 2019 season with 32 receptions on 47 targets for 416 yards and two touchdowns in his first year in Miami. The Dolphins are facing one of the top secondaries in the NFL to close out […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoOdell Beckham Jr., Ricky Seals-Jones Active
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) and tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (illness) are both active for Week 17 against the Bengals. Despite also dealing with a sports hernia, OBJ will tough it out and play in the season finale. It's been a disappointing year for the first-year Brown, but Beckham still has a […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoJameis Winston Active Against Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) is officially active for Week 17 against the Falcons. Winston has been playing through a fractured thumb the last two weeks, but he'll be fine to close out the season against Atlanta. The leader in passing yards through 16 weeks, Winston also leads the NFL in interceptions, so […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoWeek 17 Fantasy Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding
As Week 17 approaches -- the last week of the 2019 regular season -- most of your leagues have already crowned a champion. But for some, this is the biggest weekend of the fantasy season. Some leagues run their fantasy championships in both Weeks 16 and 17. So there is still a lot on the […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoAngels Discussing Matthew Boyd
The Los Angeles Angels have discussed a potential trade for Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Matthew Boyd, and Angels outfield prospect Brandon Marsh was a name mentioned in dialogue between both teams, according to a source. However, both sides haven't made progress towards a deal at the moment. The Halos are still looking for rotation upgrades […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoBraves Not Aggressively Pursuing Nolan Arenado
The Atlanta Braves are unlikely to aggressively pursue a trade for Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado while Josh Donaldson remains available in free agency, according to a source. However, if Donaldson doesn't re-sign with the Braves, Atlanta trading for Arenado becomes much more plausible. It's basically a two-horse race between the Braves and Nationals, […]
Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCardinals Promote Drew Anderson From Practice Squad
The Arizona Cardinals promoted quarterback Drew Anderson from the practice squad on Saturday with rookie Kyler Murray (hamstring) questionable for Week 17 against the Rams. It's looking more likely now that Murray will not play in the meaningless season finale on Sunday, and if that's the case, backup Brett Hundley would get the start under […]
