Tyler Lockett Will Have Lower Ceiling Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett started the year hot and has had some good games since then, but Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams doesn't figure to be another one of them. The Rams have been one of the best defenses all season and they've been the best defense against wide receivers, as […]

D.K. Metcalf Has A Bad Matchup In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf has been a great performer for fantasy managers all season, but that may not continue for Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are one of just three teams that have been able to hold Metcalf under 10 PPR points on the year. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey has […]

Chris Carson Has A Tough Matchup In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson has been rock-solid for much of the season when he's been healthy, but he's running into a wall at the worst time in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. Carson is tied for eighth in the NFL with 16.7 PPR points per game, but he could disappoint against […]

Russell Wilson Could Struggle In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been a great player for fantasy managers for much of the year, but that is far from the case in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Rams. He has been underwhelming for the last six weeks, and the Rams Defense gave him a hard time in their first meeting. He […]

Chris Carson, Carlos Dunlap Limited

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring setbacks later this week, both players should suit up in Week 16 against the Rams. Carson was the lead back last week against Washington but saw his three-game touchdown streak snapped when backup Carlos […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 16

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 15's Studs Turned Duds

Week 15 could have been your league's semifinal matchup. It may have been the first half of your two-week championship. It's also possible that Week 15 was the end of a regular season that (unfortunately) utilizes Week 17 games to determine the ultimate fantasy football prize. Whatever the case, everything is on the line each […]

IDP Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 16 - Championship Additions

We were initially set to make this Week 16 IDP Waiver Wire column all about additions for the future. However, I received several DMs over the past two days requesting that we target our waiver column towards their final week championship push. After all, Week 16 is the final week for many custom fantasy leagues, […]

Josh Gordon Out Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon had a setback in his battle with substance abuse and won't be allowed to practice or play indefinitely, according to sources. The NFL informed the Seahawks that Gordon hasn't complied with the terms of his conditional reinstatement. And so it continues for Gordon. The Seahawks had just added the […]

Week 16 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds

This is it, championship week for most fantasy football leagues. Forget the old idea that you stick with the same starters and don't risk streaming in Week 16. You play the matchups and go with projections, not past performances. The waiver wire will look a little different this late in the season since most teams […]

The Cut List (Week 16) - Time to Let Go?

Today, I'm writing to you as someone who has officially been eliminated from championship contention in both of his home leagues. In one of those leagues, I admittedly never stood a chance. My first five draft picks were Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Kenyan Drake, Le'Veon Bell, Zach Ertz, and Dak Prescott. My goodness, that was brutal just […]

Week 15 Outliers Analysis - We Must Overreact!

Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen and Ryan Tannehill each accounted for at least four touchdowns in Week 15, while also registering at least 37 fantasy points, finishing as the top-three quarterbacks on the week. The studs came through for the most part with the exception of Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson who each uncharacteristically scored less than […]

Greg Olsen On Track To Return To Action In Week 16

Seattle Seahawks tight end Greg Olsen (foot) is trending toward being active for Sunday's contest against the Rams, provided that he makes it through the week without any setbacks during practice. Olsen sustained a tear in his plantar fascia during Week 11, which seemed destined to end his 2020 season at the least. But the […]

Josh Gordon Added To Active Roster

The Seattle Seahawks added wide receiver Josh Gordon to the active 53-man roster on Monday. Gordon was reinstated by the NFL and can make his 2020 season debut in Week 16 against the Rams after serving his indefinite suspension. He's still just 29 years old and is a former second-round pick of the Browns in […]

DeeJay Dallas Likely Out Multiple Weeks

Seattle Seahawks rookie running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) suffered a Grade 3 ankle sprain in the Week 15 win over the Washington Football Team, according to a source. It's a serious sprain that is likely to keep him out for multiple weeks, which means Seattle might not have him available again until the playoffs. The […]

D.K. Metcalf Held In Check Against Washington

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K. Metcalf had been rock-solid all season, but he let his fantasy managers down in Week 15 against the Washington Football Team. He caught five of his six targets for 43 yards on the day. This was just the third time all season that he was held to fewer than double-digit […]

Chris Carson Held In Check In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson had put up solid point totals for his fantasy managers since returning from injury, but that did not continue in the team's Week 15 win over the Washington Football Team. He had 15 carries for 63 yards to go with two catches for six yards. Carson had scored at […]

Russell Wilson Stymied In Week 15

The Seattle Seahawks and quarterback Russell Wilson escaped with a win in Week 15, but it wasn't a pretty fantasy week against the Washington Football Team. Wilson went 18-for-27 for 121 yards with one touchdown and an interception. He also added six carries for 52 yards. Wilson had been trying to restart his MVP campaign […]

Tyler Lockett Posts Quiet Stat Line During Week 15

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett was kept in check by Washington during his team's win Sunday. Lockett was held without a touchdown catch for the fourth consecutive week, having amassed four receptions (on seven targets) for 34 yards. While leading the team with seven targets is a positive, Lockett has found the end zone […]

Carlos Hyde Rips Off 50-Yard Rushing TD In Week 15

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde may have received just two carries during Sunday's win over Washington, but he ripped one of those off for a 50-yard dash that ended with his first touchdown since Week 11. While the rushing score was a boon for those who got extremely aggressive and rostered Hyde, his limited […]

DeeJay Dallas Sustains Sprained Ankle During Sunday’s Win

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas (ankle) appears to have caught a break after exiting Sunday's victory over Washington with an air cast on his ankle. Head coach Pete Carroll said following the game that Dallas has been diagnosed with a sprained ankle, although those can be notoriously finicky injuries, particularly for a running back. […]

DeeJay Dallas Carted Off Field

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas has been carted off the field with an air cast on his right foot/ankle. Dallas was injured on special teams during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
