NFL DFS Rankings for DraftKings, FanDuel - Week 16 Picks for Cash and GPP Contests

It says so much about the lack of offense in 2023 that I see seven games with totals of 40 or more points and I think we are in for a scoring bonanza. Who cares that more than half of those seven games have a total of under 45 points; at least we don’t have […]

The Cut List – Who to Drop for Fantasy Football Week 16

With just two weeks left, fantasy managers should be paying a lot of attention to the next two matchups. If you've made it this far, there likely isn't a whole lot of roster tinkering left. You're not still standing unless you're relatively healthy with some studs in the starting lineup. If that's the case, there's […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Catches Game-Winning Touchdown

Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught the game-winning touchdown for the Seattle Seahawks in their 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. The sure-handed rookie tracked a 29-yard strike over his left shoulder and reeled it in by his fingertips, putting Seattle ahead with 28 seconds left on the clock. Smith-Njigba caught all four […]

Tyler Lockett Sees Team-High Nine Targets

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett led the team with nine targets in Monday's 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. His 28% target share on the night resulted in just three catches for 21 yards, however. It was a disappointing turnout considering that coming into Week 15 the Eagles were allowing the most fantasy points […]

DK Metcalf Leads Team With 78 Receiving Yards

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf had a disappointing fantasy performance against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. He finished with a modest five catches for 78 yards, both team highs in the Seahawks' 20-17 win. Coming into Week 15, the Eagles had allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers but […]

Zach Charbonnet Gets Four Carries On Monday

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet took a big step back on the depth chart on Monday night. Charbonnet had just four carries for 16 yards in the 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. The rookie was in on passing downs but he was targeted only once and did not record a catch despite quarterback […]

Kenneth Walker III Finds Paydirt Against Eagles

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III took 19 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 26 receiving yards in Monday's 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Walker looked stuck in the mud in the first half, generating just three yards per carry, but things improved after […]

Drew Lock Upsets Eagles On Monday Night Football

Quarterback Drew Lock was tabbed for his second consecutive start after it was determined in pregame warmups that Geno Smith (groin) was better off sitting for another week. Lock went 22-for-33 for 203 passing yards in what was an underwhelming effort until Seattle's final drive of Seattle's eventual 20-17 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. With […]

Saints vs. Rams TNF Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara, Derek Carr, Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, more

I'm willing to bet that the final score of the Week 16 Thursday Night Football game will not be as lopsided as last week's 63-21 score where the Raiders dismantled the Chargers. For this week, we have a mostly clean bill of health for our fantasy football contributors and both teams have massive amounts of […]

Drew Lock Expected To Start On Monday Night

Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock, not Geno Smith (groin), is expected to start on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. Smith came into this game as questionable after missing last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He is active for this game but will cede starting duties to Lock, who […]

Drew Lock To Start Against Eagles?

Signs continue to point to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock being the team's starter under center on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles despite the fact that Geno Smith (groin) is officially active for this game. There apparently won't be official word on the starter before the kickoff, so fantasy managers that have Smith in […]

Jamal Adams, Devon Witherspoon Inactive For Seahawks

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee), rookie cornerback Devon Witherspoon (hip) and wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) are officially inactive for the Monday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles. All three players came into this game listed as questionable on the final Week 15 injury report. Adams will miss be missing his second game due […]

Geno Smith Active Monday Night

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (groin) is officially active on Monday night versus the Philadelphia Eagles to close out Week 15 action.
