Evan Neal Placed On IR, Might Need Surgery

New York Giants right tackle Evan Neal (ankle) was placed on injured reserve and could require surgery, head coach Brian Daboll told the media.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keaton Mitchell’s unfortunate knee injury abruptly ended his prospects of providing a late-season statistical explosion that would have been beneficial to the Ravens and the fantasy managers who had secured him for their rosters.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Chase Brown’s late-season infusion into Cincinnati’s backfield rotation had fueled his ascension into must-add status entering the Bengals’ Week 16 matchup with Pittsburgh.

Tyjae Spears (RB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The recommendation to add Tyjae Spears has maintained a recurrent presence throughout the regular season.

Kenneth Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kenneth Gainwell warrants inclusion among this week’s recommendations as the third-year back continues to reside directly below D'Andre Swift on Philadelphia’s depth chart.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 47% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Arthur Smith’s allocation of touches within Atlanta’s backfield has become a source of frustration for fantasy managers who have Bijan Robinson contained on their rosters.

Zamir White (RB, LV) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 30% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Zamir White’s viability as a roster addition has been sustained after Josh Jacobs remained sidelined during the Raiders’ Week 16 matchup with Kansas City (quad/illness). Jacobs’ two-game absence has also supplied White with an  opportunity to function as the temporary lead back […]

Khalil Herbert (RB, CHI) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 45% of Leagues ANALYSIS: This recommendation arrives with a caveat as it has been proven throughout the regular season that elevating any member of Chicago’s backfield into your lineup can lead to massive frustration. This results from the recurrent unpredictability surrounding the allocation of touches to Khalil […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB, KC) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 17

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Isiah Pacheco resurfaced after a two-game absence (shoulder) to reclaim duties as Kansas City’s lead back when the Chiefs hosted the Raiders in Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill leads the backfield in touches during the 33-19 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards collected his 12th touchdown of the season in the team's big win against the San Francisco 49ers on Christmas.

Zamir White Dominates In Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White had 22 carries for 145 yards in the win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday. White once again stepped into the Josh Jacobs role and was productive. The Raiders offense could not get much done through the air but the defense and run game won this contest. […]

Christian McCaffrey Productive In Primetime Loss

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey turned in another quality fantasy performance in the team's 33-19 Christmas night loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Jets vs. Browns TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Breece Hall, Garrett Wilson, Joe Flacco, Jerome Ford, Amari Cooper, Elijah Moore, David Njoku

What was originally conceived as a Deshaun Watson vs. Aaron Rodgers matchup for two playoff-caliber teams will look wildly different for Thursday Night Football in Week 17. Instead, our fantasy football championship week will start with a Joe Flacco revenge game as the New York Jets visit the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland will be in the […]

Trent Williams Questionable To Return In Week 16

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams (groin) is questionable to return against the Baltimore Ravens on Monday night. He departed during the third quarter and was seen testing his injury on the sideline. Williams did put his helmet on and went to sit with the offense, so it appears that he could return if […]

Saquon Barkley Turns 26 Touches Into Productive Evening

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley took advantage of 26 touches to produce for fantasy managers in the team's 33-25 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Barkley wasn't efficient, taking his 23 carries for just 80 yards and four receiving yards on three catches. He did boost his scoring with a touchdown and added a […]

Kareem Hunt Estimated As Non-Participant Monday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday. Although they did not have an official practice, the Browns evidently have some level of concern about Hunt's status leading up to Thursday Night Football versus the New York Jets. The 28-year-old played 38 percent of offensive snaps behind Jerome Ford […]

Israel Abanikanda Estimated As Limited Participant Monday

New York Jets running back Israel Abanikanda (ankle) was estimated as a limited participant on Monday. The rookie also appeared on the injury report in preparation for Week 16 but was able to play, which is a solid indicator that he'll suit up against the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night. With the Jets out of […]

D'Andre Swift Finds End Zone For First Time In Five Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles running back D'Andre Swift took 20 carries for 92 yards and a touchdown during the team's 33-25 win over the New York Giants. His five-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter was his first since Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 24-year-old ran well in this game but gave up plenty of […]

Elijah Mitchell Won't Suit Up Versus Ravens

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is inactive for Week 16 versus the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable after logging a pair of limited practices. Although Mitchell has seen his practice status gradually improve over the last couple of weeks, he's still not ready to play in a game and […]

De'Von Achane Fizzles Versus Dallas

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane finished with seven carries for 24 yards in Sunday's victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He added one catch for seven yards. The rookie continued to battle a toe issue ahead of this contest, missing practice on Wednesday before logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. Raheem Mostert found the […]
