Flex Heroes and Zeroes - Week 16 Fantasy Football Picks

Never give advice you wouldn't follow yourself. That's what your father would probably say. My dad has never said that to me. Not because he didn't believe it, it's just that his English isn't too good. He's Cuban and has lived in South Miami the past 43 years, so the only time he even needs […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams is likely to handle the majority of the workload against the Seahawks in Week 16 as Spencer Ware (hamstring) is doubtful for the game.

Rashaad Penny Will Be Game-Time Decision

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee), who is questionable for Week 16 against the Chiefs, will be a game-time decision. Penny missed his first career game last week and seems unlikely to suit up again this weekend. If he sits out, Chris Carson will be in line for […]

Le'Veon Bell Eyeing Colts

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell, who is expected to become a free agent on March 13 of next year, "has his eyes on" the Indianapolis Colts, according to a source familiar with Bell's plans. The Jets are expected to make a big push to sign Bell, who is holding out in 2018, but the […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Chiefs

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is listed as questionable to face the Chiefs in Week 16. It's looking like Penny might miss his second straight game. If that's the case, it's good news for Chris Carson, who will see even more work in a game that should feature plenty of offense. Carson […]

Austin Ekeler Doubtful In Week 16

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (neck) was limited in practice on Friday but is doubtful for Week 16 against the Ravens on Saturday. Ekeler missed practice earlier this week, so he's likely to miss his second straight game. The good news is that he has passed through the concussion protocol, so he could […]

Kenny Golladay, Matthew Stafford, LeGarrette Blount Questionable

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest), quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) and running back LeGarrette Blount (calf) were all limited in practice on Friday and are questionable for Week 16 against the Vikings. Receiver Bruce Ellington (hamstring) has been ruled out for the second straight week. Golladay is really the only skill player on this […]

LeSean McCoy Not On Injury Report For Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) practiced in full the last two days and was taken off the final injury report for Week 16 against the Patriots. Backup Chris Ivory (shoulder) also got in full practices on Thursday and Friday but is listed as questionable. It means that both running backs should return after […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Lamar Miller, Keke Coutee Questionable

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle), running back Lamar Miller (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Keke Coutee (hamstring) were all limited in practice on Friday and are all listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Eagles. They were limited in practice all week. Head coach Bill O'Brien said Miller could play against Philly […]

Spencer Ware Doubtful To Face Seahawks

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware (hamstring) is doubtful to play in Week 16 against the Seahawks. It will be Ware's second straight missed game after he injured himself in Week 14 against the Ravens. It means that Damien Williams will be the main back for the second straight game against Seattle. He had […]

Top College Prospects - Dynasty League Scouting (Bowl Season - Week 2 Edition)

C.J. Anderson Could Start Sunday

Los Angeles Rams running back C.J. Anderson, who was signed earlier this week, would be expected to start in Week 16 against the Cardinals if Todd Gurley (knee) is unable to play. Justin Davis is also questionable but isn't expected to play, and Gurley has yet to practice this week and will be a game-time […]

Todd Gurley To Be Game-Time Decision

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Todd Gurley (knee) will have a pregame workout on Sunday before a decision is made as to whether he'll play in Week 16 against the Cardinals. Backup Justin Davis is also questionable and isn't expected to play, so C.J. Anderson would be the next […]

James Conner Out; Jaylen Samuels Draws Another Start

The Pittsburgh Steelers officially ruled James Conner (knee) out for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. There was some hope last week that Conner would be ready to return for Week 16 but he was unable to practice all week and, as a result, will miss his third straight game. With Conner out at […]

LeSean McCoy Ready To Go

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that it looks like running back LeSean McCoy (hamstring) is good to go for Week 16 against the Patriots. McCoy returned to a full practice on Thursday, suggesting he'll return after sitting out in Week 15. Backup Chris Ivory is expected to play, too. With Buffalo's offense so […]

Kalen Ballage Looking At Increased Role Week 16

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage should be in line for a larger role in Miami's Week 16 matchup against Jacksonville. Ballage took over for an injured Frank Gore last week and took advantage of the opportunity by rushing for 123 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. Ballage doesn't draw the easiest matchup; the […]
