If you've been eliminated from your fantasy league, the good news is you can still get in on some of Sunday's action via DFS.

Week 17 Half-PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football: DeVonta Smith, Cam Akers, Zack Moss, Isaiah Hodgins, Michael Gallup

While the majority of fantasy managers have been eliminated from the playoffs, we're back for another week of rankings to help the select few managers capture the fantasy football championship. While most of the rosters in the fantasy title game are already stacked, injuries and matchups will make start-or-sit decisions tough, as always. We're here […]

Deebo Samuel Ruled Out For Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Week 17 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday despite returning to the practice field this week. The 26-year-old will miss his third straight game, so fantasy managers won't have him for their championship matchups unless you're playing for […]

49ers Defense Favorable Matchup In Week 17

The San Francisco 49ers defensive unit has a favorable matchup against an anemic Las Vegas Raiders offense that is starting third-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham this weekend. Even with Derek Carr under center, the Raiders offense has collapsed recently. In the past three games, the Raiders rank 32nd in terms of total yards and 22nd in […]

Robbie Gould Likely To Make Multiple PATs In Week 17

The rise of the red-hot San Francisco 49ers' offense has given kicker Robbie Gould many opportunities to kick PATs. In the past four weeks, Gould has gone 15-for-15 on extra points. He does not always attempt many field goals, however. In Week 14, he did not attempt a single field goal; in Week 15, he […]

George Kittle Likely To Have Another Big Game In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has an excellent matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 17. The Raiders allow the sixth-most passing yards per game, and 20.9% of those yards have gone to tight ends. They have allowed the eighth-most receptions to TEs and the 11th-most fantasy points. Kittle's fantasy value has […]

Brandon Aiyuk Could Rebound In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has had an up-and-down past couple of weeks. Since Brock Purdy took over as quarterback, Aiyuk's target volume has decreased from eight per game from Weeks 6 through 13 down to less than five per game. Aiyuk may have a chance to take advantage of a favorable matchup […]

Christian McCaffrey A Must-Start In Favorable Matchup

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey has a plus matchup against the weak Las Vegas Raiders defense. The Raiders rank 23rd in the league in points allowed and 25th in yards. The Las Vegas defense is worse at defending the pass than the run. They allow the 27th-fewest passing yards per game and the […]

Brock Purdy Faces Weak Pass Defense In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has a favorable matchup in Week 17 against the poor Las Vegas Raiders defense. The Raiders allow the sixth-most passing yards per game and the highest QB rating to opposing passers. Only five teams have allowed more fantasy points to QBs than the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the NFC […]

NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Week 17 Daily Fantasy Football Picks

It’s hard to believe the season is winding down. I wrote up some middling performances last week, but I was also on Kirk Cousins-Justin Jefferson stacks (no Hockenson, however).

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 17) - Targets and Avoids

Does anyone in the AFC want to claim a playoff spot? Nearly all teams in the hunt lost this weekend. The Chargers took care of business though by beating the Colts and clinching a playoff berth. But the Jets started the week off losing to the Jaguars, followed by the Patriots, Titans, and Dolphins losing. […]

Jordan Mason Remains Limited Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (hamstring) remained limited during Thursday's practice. This was nothing new for the rookie, who was also limited Wednesday. Mason only played on special teams last week, and his path to meaningful snaps on offense could shrink even further if the 49ers activate Elijah Mitchell (knee) from IR. Go […]

Christian McCaffrey Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was able to get in a limited practice session on Thursday. This comes as no shock considering McCaffrey has been banged up for roughly a month. Despite that, McCaffrey has not played fewer than 70% of the offensive snaps. The expectation is that McCaffrey will be fine […]
