Eddy Pineiro Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 18

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro hasn't gotten many opportunities to kick field goals the past few weeks. Over the past four games, he has only attempted three field goals. The silver lining for Pineiro is that between Weeks 10 and 13, he made nine of his 11 field goal attempts. In Week 18, the Panthers […]

Tommy Tremble Not A Good Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble did not record a target in Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. During the season, Tremble only averages 1.3 receptions per game and has earned a 5.3% target share in the passing game. That type of production makes it difficult for fantasy managers to consider Tremble an option […]

Ja'Tavion Sanders A Desperate Tight-End Play In Week 18

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders only saw one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Sanders took a clear backseat to the Panthers' receivers, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette (hip, wrist). The 21-year-old became fantasy-relevant in the middle of the […]

David Moore Not A Strong Start Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore was limited to one catch for 17 yards in the Panthers' Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Moore has been inconsistent during the season, putting up less than five fantasy points twelve times while scoring more than 10 only two times. Throughout the season, he earned a […]

Adam Thielen A High-End WR2 Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen has been a bright spot for the Carolina Panthers of late and a reliable target for young quarterback Bryce Young. In Week 17 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Thielen caught five of his six targets for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Over the past five weeks, Thielen has put […]

Mike Boone Not A Good Fantasy Option In Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Mike Boone rushed for 11 yards on two carries during Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 17. The Panthers signed Boone to their active roster last Saturday after Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) was placed on injured reserve. The Panthers fell behind early in Week 17 and never […]

Raheem Blackshear A Low-End RB3 Option For Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Raheem Blackshear rushed for 20 yards on eight carries during Sunday's Week 17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Blackshear got the first crack at lead running back duties after teammate Chuba Hubbard (calf, knee) landed on the injured reserve in Week 17 and is done for the season. The silver […]

Bryce Young A Low-End QB1 Option Against The Falcons

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said quarterback Bryce Young and the team's other starters will play in Week 18 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The Falcon's defense has allowed the sixth most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks in 2024. Young has been playing better lately, producing 17-plus fantasy points in four of […]

Tua Tagovailoa Unlikely To Play In Week 18 Versus The New York Jets

According to Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins are preparing to start quarterback Tyler Huntley on Sunday against the New York Jets as Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is "unlikely to play." This situation frustrates fantasy managers because Tagovailoa logged a few limited practices to start the week. Huntley played admirably in Tagovailoa's absence last […]

Curtis Samuel Questionable For Week 18’s Matchup Versus The Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Curtis Samuel (rib) has been inactive for the last two weeks with a rib injury.

Calvin Austin III A Low-End WR3 Versus The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III secured four of five targets for 31 yards during Week 17's 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. During Week 15 and 16, with counterpart George Pickens (hamstring) sidelined, Austin took over as the leading receiver in those games with 65 yards in each contest. Pickens returned in […]

George Pickens Looking To Bounce Back Against Cincinnati In Season Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens caught three of seven targets for 50 yards in the Christmas game 29-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Week 17 was Pickens' first game back from a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined from Weeks 14-16. Pickens and the struggling Steelers offense will look to bounce back with […]

Najee Harris A Solid RB2 Option Against The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris has seen his fantasy production dip over the last three weeks. The main reason is that the Steelers have lost all three games by 14 or more points, meaning game flow has not been in Harris's favor. In addition to that, they faced three top-10 defenses against the run. […]

Russell Wilson A Low-End QB1 In Week 18 Versus The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson saved his Week 17 fantasy stat line on the ground as he rushed for a season-high 55 yards and a touchdown in the Christmas game loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Wilson struggled through the air, only throwing for 205 yards on 37 pass attempts while also throwing an interception […]

Jaylen Warren Off The Injury Report, A Mid-Range RB2 Against The Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (ribs) is no longer on the injury report and will suit up against the Cincinnati Bengals for the regular season finale.

Jaylen Watson Designated To Return From IR, Will Practice On Friday

The Kansas City Chiefs are designating defensive back Jaylen Watson (ankle) to return from Injured Reserve, and he will practice on Friday.

Is Austin Ekeler Out For the Season? Week 18 Fantasy Football Injury Update

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) suffered an injury when returning a kickoff in the final seconds of a 34-26 loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 12.

Ja'Tavion Sanders Sees One Target In Week 17

Carolina Panthers rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders earned one target in Week 17 and turned that into a five-yard reception in Sunday's 48-14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Ray Davis Earns Seven Touches In Week 17 Win

Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis earned six carries and turned that into just nine yards in Sunday's 40-17 win over the New York Jets. He added one reception for four yards as well. As expected, Davis took a clear back seat over James Cook; however, Ty Johnson was also involved and was more effective […]

Raheem Mostert Quiet Again In Week 17

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert earned eight opportunities on the ground and through the air, turning that into 19 all-purpose yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Cleveland Browns.

Jamison Crowder Puts Up 25 Yards In Week 17

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder hauled in three of his five targets over 25 yards in Sunday night's 30-24 win over the Atlanta Falcons.
