Should I Drop Jake Ferguson? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 12

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson was a popular mid-round draft pick in 2024 after a sophomore-year breakout last season. However, the former Wisconsin star hasn’t lived up to the draft hype.

Should I Drop Tyler Lockett? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 12

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was once a fantasy football star. However, the veteran wide receiver’s days as a must-start option for fantasy players are over.

Should I Drop Audric Estime? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 12

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime has had little fantasy value this season. The rookie running back has 35 rushing attempts for 164 yards and zero touchdowns in seven contests.

Anfernee Simons In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (illness) is regarded as questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Oklahoma City.

He's been inconsistent all year and doesn't look like a […]

Alex Ovechkin Considered Week-To-Week

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin (leg) has been labeled as week-to-week. The legendary forward suffered a lower leg injury in Monday's 6-2 win against Utah. The injury will halt Ovechkin's quest to break Wayne Gretzky's all-time goals record. After finding the back of the net twice in Monday's win, he needs 27 more goals to […]

When Is Will Reichard Coming Back - Fantasy Football Injury Return Update for Week 12 (2024)

Fantasy managers of Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard (quad) had the unfortunate displeasure of experiencing a kicker scoring almost no fantasy points due to injury.

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (chest) suffered a chest injury in his Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He hasn't had any playing time since then. It was a surprising season cut short for the former Green Bay Packer, as all but one of the full games he played saw him score […]

Should I Drop Diontae Johnson? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 12

Diontae Johnson's time with the Baltimore Ravens has been nothing short of disappointing for fantasy managers. With playoffs just around the corner, the question is whether the wide receiver is worth holding or if it is time to move on. The Ravens are a run-first offense, and Johnson is not a top option in the […]
