Javonte Williams A Low-Upside, Touchdown-Dependent RB3/Flex In Week 17

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams will have even less upside in a good matchup in Week 17 on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals on the road with backfield mate Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) returning after a one-game absence. Although Williams averaged 6.0 yards per carry on the ground last week with McLaughlin sidelined in the […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Returning In Week 17, Hard To Trust In Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday and has been cleared to play in Week 17 for the big game on Saturday against the Cincinnati Bengals. McLaughlin was inactive for the Week 16 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers last Thursday. He was Denver's leading rusher the […]

Cole Kmet Completely Uninvolved In Thursday's Loss To Seahawks

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet was a statistical no-show in Thursday's 6-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The fifth-year Bear saw zero passes go his way from quarterback Caleb Williams, marking his third game this season without a single target. Overall, the 25-year-old has caught 45 passes for 471 yards and four touchdowns over […]

Bo Nix Has Clear QB1 Upside Against Bengals

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix is in the QB1 picture for a Week 17 showdown on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. After a slow start to his rookie season, Nix has come on strong in the second half and is currently the QB11 in overall fantasy points thanks to 3,235 passing […]

Caleb Williams Disappoints In Week 17 Loss To Seattle

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams put up a dud in Thursday night's 6-3 loss against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. The rookie quarterback completed 16 of his 28 passes for 122 yards and an interception, adding 37 yards rushing on his five carries. Williams has had a roller coaster of a first season in […]

Stephen Curry Resting On Friday

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (rest) won't play against the Clippers on Friday. The veteran is coming off a stellar Christmas Day performance against LeBron James and the Lakers, finishing with a game-high 38 points while shooting 8-for-15 from behind the arc. He'll likely be back on the floor on Saturday versus the Phoenix […]

Jrue Holiday Could Miss Another Game

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pacers. The veteran has a right shoulder injury, which kept him off the floor for the Christmas Day loss to the 76ers. Al Horford moved into the starting lineup, finishing with 17 points and shooting 5-for-10 from behind the arc. With Kristaps […]

Kristaps Porzingis Uncertain For Friday Night

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is considered questionable for Friday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. The veteran tweaked his ankle in the Christmas Day loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, ending his day after only 13 minutes of work. As a result, Luke Kornet got more action than normal and finished with six points and […]

Domantas Sabonis Under The Weather On Thursday

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (illness) won't play on Thursday against the Pistons. As usual, the 28-year-old has had a quality season, averaging a career-high 21.1 points with 13.5 rebounds and 6.0 assists. His next chance to get back on the floor will be on Saturday against the Los Angeles Lakers. As far as Thursday […]

Jalen Brooks Limited On Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Brooks (knee) was upgraded to a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Brooks sat out of practice to begin the week after missing last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Normally, the status of Brooks isn't too important, but he could be in line for a larger workload with […]

Jalen Tolbert Remains Limited On Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) was a limited participant in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. It appears Tolbert is still dealing with the finger injury that forced him to exit early during last week's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tolbert is likely to see an increased role going forward […]

Kalif Raymond A Full-Go In Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (foot) has been designated to return from the injured reserve on Thursday. Raymond has been out of action since suffering a foot injury in late-November. He returned to practice as a full participant on Thursday. It appears the 30-year-old is trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's game […]

Harrison Smith Returns To Practice

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith (foot) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. This is good news after Smith sat out of practice to open the week, but a full session puts him in the right direction ahead of Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran safety sat out of last week's […]

Andrei Iosivas May Be Forced To Step Up Versus Denver

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas is having the best season of his young career. In 15 games, the 25-year-old has 31 catches for 408 yards. He also has six touchdowns, with one occurring in the Week 16 victory over the Cleveland Browns. However, Iosivas has been far from consistent, so he hasn't seen much […]

Mike Gesicki May Need To Be More Involved On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki had only two catches for 14 yards in the Week 16 win over the Browns. That type of production has been the norm for the 29-year-old for most of the 2024-25 campaign. However, Tee Higgins (ankle, knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Broncos, meaning Gesicki and others […]

Ja'Marr Chase Could See More Work On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase is the best wideout in the National Football League, catching 108 passes for 1,510 yards and 16 touchdowns this season. With the Bengals hoping to secure a spot in the postseason, Cincinnati needs a victory over Denver on Saturday. Without question, the Broncos defense could be a challenge for […]

Chase Brown Ready To Go For Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown didn't score in the Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns. However, he's still had a quality year, amassing 923 yards off 209 carries and catching 50 passes for 336 yards. The 24-year-old has also found the end zone 11 times. With the Bengals still looking for a postseason […]

Joe Burrow Off The Injury Report For Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (wrist, knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. However, he doesn't carry an injury designation heading into the Saturday's showdown with Denver. With the Bengals still barely alive for a postseason spot, it would take a lot to keep Burrow off the field for the pivotal game against the […]

Chargers Defense Has A Chance To Bounce Back In Week 17

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a solid play in Week 17 against the New England Patriots. The Bolts defensive unit has been struggling lately after a really good season, but they did make it through five straight tough matchups and now end the season with two great ones. They're showing up in the top-five […]

Yankees Unlikely To Target Alex Bregman

According to Jack Curry of the YES Network, the Yankees are unlikely to target free agent third baseman Alex Bregman. According to Curry on an episode of Yankees Hot Stove, "That's not a road the Yankees are going down." Curry noted that the Yankees do not value his bat at his current price tag playing […]

Cameron Dicker Looks For Another Strong Game In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker will look for another strong game in a Week 17 matchup against the New England Patriots. Dicker has been a top-five fantasy kicker this season and there's no reason to think he won't end up with a top-10 finish in this game. With the Chargers favored over the Patriots, […]

Rams D/ST A Mid-Range Play At Home Against Arizona

The Los Angeles Rams defense/special teams unit will look to continue its recent improvement this week as the team welcomes the division-rival Arizona Cardinals on Saturday night. Last week, they held the Jets to just nine points in the cold of New York with one sack and two fumble recoveries. The previous week, they held […]

Stone Smartt's Week 17 Role To Be Determined

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Stone Smartt could remain as the starter in Week 17 against the New England Patriots, but that remains to be seen. Fellow tight ends Will Dissly (shoulder) and Hayden Hurst (illness) are both listed as questionable. Dissly missed the past two games but practiced in full on Thursday after logging […]

Titans Add Matthew Wright To Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans signed free-agent kicker Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Thursday. Nick Folk (abdomen) has not practiced this week and is danger of missing another game in Week 17 when the team takes on the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Brayden Narveson filled in at kicker in the Week 16 loss to the Indianapolis […]

Joshua Palmer Too Risky To Trust In Week 17 Lineups

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer is too risky to trust in a critical Week 17 fantasy week. The Chargers will take on the New England Patriots on Saturday, and while that's a good matchup for Palmer, he's been playing in much more of a support role in the Bolts passing game than anything […]

Nolan Arenado Is "Not A Fit" For Yankees

According to Jack Curry of the YES Network, St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado is "not a fit" for what the Yankees are trying to do. Curry reported this on Yankees Hot Stove on the YES Network. Curry noted that while the Yankees may attempt to move starting pitcher Marcus Stroman to shed payroll, […]

Joshua Karty A Mid-Level Kicker Against Arizona

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty went 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts last week and 1-for-2 on extra-point attempts, but this week, he'll be in much more favorable conditions at home and kicking against the Cardinals, who have been a top-10 matchup for kickers this season. On the year, the rookie from Stanford is 23-for-28 on […]

Tyler Boyd Hasn't Practiced This Week

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd (foot) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday. Boyd suffered a foot injury in last week's loss to the Indianapolis Colts and is now in danger of having to sit out this Sunday's divisional contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 30-year-old veteran will need to return to […]

Quentin Johnston Searches For Consistency In Week 17

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston will have another good matchup where he can try to find some consistency in Week 17 against the New England Patriots. Johnston has had a boom-or-bust season without too many huge booms. In the past four games, he has either finished as a top-25 fantasy receiver or outside […]

Mets Had Interest In Joc Pederson

According to Justin Tasch of the New York Post, the New York Mets had interest in designated hitter Joc Pederson before he signed a two-year contract with the Texas Rangers. Last summer, Pederson performed very well being deployed on the strong side of a platoon with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Pederson posted a .275/.393/.515 slash line […]
