Le'Veon Bell Set To Play, Will Have Small Role

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is expected to suit up in the season finale against the Chargers, though he's slated to have a small role. Sitting at 14-1 with the one seed locked up, it doesn't make much sense for the Chiefs to push Bell, effectively their starter right now, in a […]

Week 17 IDP Rankings

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Will Miss Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (hip/ankle) will be inactive versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. Edwards-Helaire was inactive in Week 16 and could return for the Chiefs playoff run. Darrel Williams saw the majority of the action over Le'Veon Bell in Week 16 and it would appear that Williams will […]

Tyreek Hill And Sammy Watkins Will Miss Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers Tyreek Hill (hamstring) and Sammy Watkins (calf) will both be inactive versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17.

Patrick Mahomes Won't Play Against Chargers

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes will not play in Week 17 against the Chargers. The Chiefs have already locked up the top seed in the AFC postseason and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, so they will rest most of their starters in a meaningless Week 17 game. This […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 16's Studs Turned Duds

Coming up big in Week 16 could make a fantasy manager your fan for life. Alvin Kamara certainly won leagues and hearts all over the world with his Week 16 outing. So did Davante Adams, Stefon Diggs, Josh Allen, and others. These guys weren't under-the-radar players forced into the lineups with fingers crossed. These were […]

Week 17 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

Most fantasy leagues have been decided after 16 grueling weeks of gridiron action but there are always exceptions.

Since 2020 has been an […]

Week 16 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Quarterback was a crazy position to navigate in Week 16. Tom Brady saw just 30 minutes of action against the Lions and still managed to finish as QB-2 and Andy Dalton, who is only rostered in 13% of Yahoo leagues shredded the Eagles Defense to finish as QB-3. Mitch Trubisky accounted for three touchdowns, finishing as QB-7, […]
