    Is Brandin Cooks Playing in Week 17?

    Cooks is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Cowboys’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Brandin Cooks in Week 17?

    Cooks’ playing time is inching up, but he’s simply going to run out of time. We saw signs of decline last season; even if you think there is gas left in the tank, this Cooper Rush-led offense doesn’t have much of a path to accessing that.

    In his eight appearances this season, Cooks is averaging just 0.80 yards per route. He’s well off of fantasy radars in all formats at this point and might have a hard time finding a suitor when he becomes an unrestricted free agent after this season wraps.

    Brandin Cooks’ Fantasy Points Projection in Week 17

    As of Sunday morning, Cooks is projected to score 7.3 fantasy points in PPR formats. This includes 2.7 receptions for 31.5 yards and 0.2 touchdowns.

    PFN Insight on the Eagles’ Defense

    The Philadelphia Eagles remain the second-ranked defense despite collapsing at the end of the Week 16 loss to the Washington Commanders, which snapped their franchise-record 10-game win streak. But while the ending was disappointing, the Eagles’ overall performance continued some encouraging trends.

    The Eagles had their best defensive EPA per rush (0.74) all season, thanks to forcing two fumbles on Brian Robinson Jr. Philadelphia leads the league in defensive EPA per rush (0.18) for the season while still ranking third in pass success rate.

    However, Sunday was not the pass defense’s best day, with the Eagles recording -0.31 EPA per dropback. That was their second-worst performance all season, which nullified the unit producing its highest takeaway rate (38.5%) in any game as well.

    C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s mid-game ejection hurt the defense tremendously. Following the safety’s ejection early in the third quarter, the Eagles averaged a horrendous -0.64 EPA per dropback. Philly had been treading water with -0.11 EPA per dropback prior to his departure.

    The good news is that circumstance won’t have any residual effect on the defense beyond Sunday, though it doesn’t speak well to the safety depth. With upcoming matchups against backup quarterbacks for the Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants, Philadelphia’s defense is still well-positioned for a strong finish to the regular season.

    Cowboys at Eagles Trends and Insights

    Dallas Cowboys

    Team: The Cowboys are 10-3 in their last 13 regular season games played on or after November 19 (they are 9-10 otherwise).

    QB: The Cooper Rush experience may not be perfect, but the numbers don’t lie — in 2024, the splits by starting QB:

    • Win%: Rush (57.1%), Dak Prescott (37.5%)

    • Non-TO%: Rush (87.8%), Prescott (85.1%)

    • Red Zone TD%: Rush (55%), Prescott (45.5%)

    Offense: Dallas has scored on at least half of their drives in consecutive games after having one such performance this year prior.

    Defense: Opponents have scored a touchdown against Dallas on 26-of-29 goal-to-go trips this season and are a perfect 13-of-13 since Week 9 in such situations.

    Fantasy: Brandon Aubrey has more 55+ yard made field goals this season (six) than the Cowboys have 55+ yard plays during the regular season since the start of 2023 (five).

    Betting: Over tickets have cashed in four of Dallas’ past five road covers

    Philadelphia Eagles

    Team: Can they get lucky win #13 this week? This franchise has hit that total three times, and they’ve won the NFC in each instance (2004, 2017, and 2022)

    QB: Philadelphia’s one-seed shots took a huge shot on Sunday – none of the QBs on the three favorites in the NFC have a greater drop in QB+ from home to road than Jalen Hurts.

    Offense: Philadelphia was just three-of-16 on third down against Washington (18.8%), their second-worst rate of the season.

    Defense: The Eagles forced a turnover on 38.5% of Commander drives last week and found a way to lose. In their first seven games this season with a double-digit forced turnover percentage, Philadelphia was 7-0 and had outscored their opponents by 93 points.

    Fantasy: Saquon Barkley ran for 109 yards in the first quarter against the Commanders on Sunday, giving him the most in a first quarter since 2011. Who did he unseat? Saquon Barkley in 2019 – against the Commanders – on December 22 (2019).

    Betting: Overs are 8-3 in Philadelphia’s past 11 home divisional games.





    Week 17 Injury Update, Start/Sit Advice, Projections, and More

    As we head into the final week of the NFL regular season, it’s more important than ever to stay on top of injury updates, start/sit decisions, and projections for your fantasy football team. Here’s a rundown of the latest news and advice to help you make the best decisions for Week 17:

    Injury Update:
    – Quarterbacks: Several quarterbacks are dealing with injuries heading into Week 17, including Lamar Jackson, Baker Mayfield, and Kyler Murray. Keep an eye on their status leading up to game day.
    – Running Backs: Dalvin Cook, Joe Mixon, and Antonio Gibson are all nursing injuries that could impact their availability this week. Monitor their practice participation and official injury designations.
    – Wide Receivers: DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, and Jarvis Landry are among the receivers dealing with injuries. Check their status before setting your lineup.
    – Tight Ends: George Kittle, Hunter Henry, and Tyler Higbee are dealing with injuries that could impact their fantasy value this week. Stay tuned for updates on their playing status.

    Start/Sit Advice:
    – Start: Players like Jalen Hurts, David Montgomery, and A.J. Brown have favorable matchups in Week 17 and should be in your starting lineup.
    – Sit: On the flip side, players like Matthew Stafford, Miles Sanders, and Amari Cooper may be better left on your bench this week due to tough matchups or injury concerns.

    Projections:
    – Top Quarterback: Patrick Mahomes is projected to have a big game against the Denver Broncos.
    – Top Running Back: Derrick Henry is expected to dominate the Houston Texans defense.

    Week 17 Fantasy Advice for Josh Allen, James Cook, Amari Cooper, and Others


    The Buffalo Bills will face the New York Jets in Week 17. Here’s fantasy football start-sit advice for every Bills skill player who has the potential to make a fantasy impact during the game.

    Josh Allen, QB

    I think we can give Josh Allen a pass for last week from an analysis standpoint. You, of course, can’t do that if his slow game against the Patriots knocked you out of the playoffs.

    Yet, if you’re still playing a meaningful game this week, there should be exactly zero hesitation in going back to the MVP front-runner who was a top-two signal-caller in each of the three weeks prior to Week 16.

    The Bills showed us that they knew how to beat the Jets back in Week 6 (Allen had a rushing score, but he also completed 15 of 18 non-pressured passes for 148 yards and a touchdown), and I see no reason to think they can’t have success in a similar fashion this time around.

    Jets’ pressure rates, 2024:

    • Weeks 1-13: 39.9%
    • Weeks 14-16: 24.8%

    Don’t overthink this.

    James Cook, RB

    James Cook has 42 red-zone touches this season compared to 35 last year — he’s scored 16 touchdowns this season compared to six last year. There’s a combination of good fortune and strong development at play in Cook’s breakout season, and that’s just fine.

    Buffalo’s lead back has nine top-12 finishes this season and he very well could add to that total this week against the Jets team that the Bills had no trouble running the ball against in Week 6.

    Cook was inactive for that game, but this backfield ran 24 times for 131 yards, with 13 of those carries picking up at least five yards.

    This is a deep backfield and that could be an issue should the Chiefs lock up the top seed. If you’re playing Cook and Kansas City clinches, I wouldn’t automatically pivot, but I would tune in to the beat reporters a little more.

    Ray Davis, RB

    Ray Davis has failed to reach 30 yards from scrimmage in five of his past six games, and with Ty Johnson playing ahead of him on passing downs more recently his status as a one-for-one James Cook replacement is far from certain.

    He’s a change-of-pace back, but if this offense is going to ask Josh Allen to wear the cape, there’s really no reason to roster any secondary back in Buffalo as they attempt to chase the conference’s top seed.

    I think you can safely forget Davis’ name for the remainder of 2024, but I’d caution against doing so for 2025.

    Amari Cooper, WR

    Note to future self: proceed with caution when a very good team makes a trade deadline acquisition.

    The Diontae Johnson situation in Baltimore has been an unmitigated disaster. While DeAndre Hopkins going to Kansas City has helped more than Mike Williams in Pittsburgh, I overestimated the impact they’d have across the board.

    I think the process of the analysis (and the acquisitions, for that matter) was sound. These players either fit a need or a style of play and have proven capable of producing at this level. But I got over my skis — I apologize.

    The cover boy for this is Amari Cooper, a receiver who was theoretically brought in to take this Bills offense to the next level. This is an answer for them moving on from Stefon Diggs this offseason. While it’s true that this offense has looked as good as any since the deal, it has just about as much to do with me as it does Cooper.

    Not much.

    A wrist injury resulted in some missed time, but in his seven games with the team, he’s reached 8.5 expected PPR points just once. I’d blame it on a learning curve if I could, but the Bills simply aren’t interested in him being featured. His 55.2% snap share on Sunday was his highest since joining the franchise.

    Even when he is on the field, his impact is minimal. We all remember the viral clip of Keon Coleman telling him where to run his route while on the line of scrimmage, which resulted in a score in his debut. That was a fun clip, but it’s now a sad reminder of the last time Cooper saw a look in the end zone.

    This offense has elevated without his help (one game with 70 air yards), and as they look to round into postseason form, why would we expect that to change in a significant way this week?

    It’s possible that Buffalo (and all of these teams with talented receivers doing very little) will unleash a Cooper package in January and make a run through the conference. I’m not ruling it out, as everything I said in a positive light post-trade remains true. That could be huge for a #BillsMafia fan base that is starving for a winner, but in the scope of winning 2024 fantasy titles, I’d be surprised if Cooper was a factor at all.

    Keon Coleman, WR

    Keon Coleman has been on the field for over 60% of Buffalo’s snaps in both of his games back from the wrist injury, and I’d never count out a player with a role like that in a Josh Allen-led offense. That said, there’s a wide gap between “counting a player out” and “actively making excuses to start.”

    The Jets own the third-best per-play defense in the NFL this season and are the best unit when it comes to preventing deep touchdown passes (1% of such attempts; league average: 6.7%).

    Keep reading, and you’ll understand further why I think this is more of a Khalil Shakir week for the Bills than anything, but that’s certainly part of it. Coleman is a talented kid with a bright future, I just don’t think the future is now for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. The rookie has caught just two passes on four targets (43 routes) since returning, production rates that aren’t worthy of Flex consideration in even deeper formats this week.

    Khalil Shakir, WR

    The vibes aren’t high for Khalil Shakir’s managers, but I’d encourage you to hang in there. Buffalo as a whole was out of sorts last week against the Patriots (Shakir: two catches for 22 yards), but the volume was better than you’d expect from a 22-yard outing (six targets), and we have plenty of proof that this is an efficient tandem you can feel fine about betting on.

    Is it weird that I was somewhat encouraged by the usage last week? Obviously, the production wasn’t there, but it’s clear that he is the receiver Josh Allen trusts the most, and that trust extends downfield (season-high 106 air yards).

    I don’t think Shakir is going to assume a vertical role in this offense consistently, but it’s good to see that he has a path to earning a few of those targets.

    We had to survive a Shakir dud back in Week 6 when these two teams first met (two catches for 19 yards on an 8.7% target share), and that was without Amari Cooper on the roster. With Allen playing 4D chess these days, it’s always possible that we get a repeat performance where he spreads the love (six Bills had more PPR points through the air than Shakir in that first contest), but I’m not too worried about it.

    Those deep targets are nice, but Shakir is always going to make his money in the short to intermediate passing game, and I think the Bills have a good chance to win there with regularity this week. The Jets are the only team in the NFL yet to intercept a pass that didn’t travel 15+ yards in the air, and the 2024 version of Allen is responsible with the football.

    I know last week was tough to watch and that we’ve had two of those games in December—fear not. I like our chances of returning to that 12-15 PPR point range with the upside for more should Buffalo’s offense rediscover its form from Weeks 13-14.

    Dalton Kincaid, TE

    Updated at 11:30 AM ET on Sunday, December 29
    Kincaid is active for today’s game.

    The Bills got caught in a battle with the Patriots last week. You’d think that would mean an unleashing of Dalton Kincaid one week after he returned to action in a limited capacity.

    No dice. The second-year tight end was on the field for just 32.8% of Buffalo’s snaps (Week 15 at DET: 47.1%), a usage pattern that has me more scared than his target rate (seven on 14 routes) has me encouraged as this season comes down the home stretch.

    I don’t want to speak in absolutes, but I do think I’m going to be more interested in this profile than you. For next season. Kincaid was able to earn a 30.4% target share in Week 6 against the Jets, which is proof of concept when it comes to winning against this defense. But Buffalo could be out of the mix for the one seed by kickoff. With limited motivation, I’m not overly optimistic that they will extend his snap share to a point where I’m comfortable.

    Kincaid is currently my TE15 this week, checking in behind names like Chig Okonkwo and Brenton Strange, two options you very much could have had (and might still be able to get) off of your waiver wire.

    Dawson Knox, TE

    Dawson Knox saw his last chance at value this fantasy season come and go without much more than a whimper in Week 15 as Dalton Kincaid (knee) returned to action.

    He had a pair of chunk gains, something that seemingly everyone who played in the Bills/Lions shootout can claim. Outside of that, it was a lot of nothing and certainly not enough to give me any level of confidence that his fantasy stock can survive as Kincaid is worked back into his full-time role.

    Over the past three weeks, with the Bills scoring 114 points and Kincaid either out or at less than full strength, Knox has turned 75 routes into 69 touchdown-less yards.





    As we head into Week 17 of the fantasy football season, it’s crunch time for many teams vying for a playoff spot. With that in mind, here are some key fantasy advice for some notable players this week:

    1. Josh Allen, QB, Buffalo Bills: Allen has been a fantasy stud all season, and he has a favorable matchup this week against the Atlanta Falcons. Expect Allen to put up big numbers and continue to be a top fantasy quarterback.

    2. James Cook, RB, Georgia Bulldogs: Cook has emerged as a top fantasy running back in recent weeks, and he faces a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions this week. Look for Cook to have a big game and continue to be a reliable fantasy option.

    3. Amari Cooper, WR, Dallas Cowboys: Cooper has been inconsistent this season, but he has a great matchup against the Washington Football Team this week. With the Cowboys fighting for a playoff spot, Cooper should see plenty of targets and have a big game.

    4. Other notable players to consider starting this week include Jonathan Taylor, Cooper Kupp, and Joe Mixon. These players have been consistent fantasy performers all season and should continue to put up big numbers in Week 17.

    Overall, make sure to set your fantasy lineup with confidence this week and trust in your top performers to lead you to victory. Good luck in your fantasy matchups!

    Is Tyrone Tracy Playing in Week 17?

    Updated at 11:30 AM ET on Sunday, December 29
    Tracy is active for today’s game.

    Tracy was limited at all three practices last week with an ankle injury. Head coach Daboll said Tracy aggravated the injury in last week’s game. It’s still very early, but it does not sound too promising for the talented rookie for Week 17. Tracy was listed as DNP on Wednesday’s estimated practice report and was also absent on Thursday.

    Tracy was able to return to a limited session on Friday and, somehow, doesn’t even have an injury designation. He will play.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Giants’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Tyrone Tracy in Week 17?

    The math just isn’t in Tracy’s favor. More accurately, the math doesn’t favor any Giant not named Malik Nabers.

    I’m comfortable with labeling Tracy as the lead back in this offense, but with the game script so routinely an issue, he’s made it past 10 carries just once over his past five games.

    The versatility of the rookie was on full display last week with a pretty toe-tap touchdown catch with Drew Lock on the move, and that upside is allowing him to keep his head above water for fantasy managers.

    With 18 targets over his past three games and a 10+ yard reception in four of his last five, Tracy is at the back end of my Flex ranks for this week. The Colts are the fourth-worst third-down defense in the league, giving the Giants a fighting chance at keeping their offense on the field and thus getting Tracy the 15 touches he needs for us to feel good about him.

    Tyrone Tracy’s Fantasy Points Projection in Week 17

    As of Sunday morning, Tracy is projected to score 13.3 fantasy points in PPR formats. This includes 16.1 rushing attempts for 72.4 yards and 0.4 touchdowns. It also includes 1.1 receptions for 22 yards and 0.1 touchdowns.

    PFN Insight on the Colts’ Defense

    After starting strong against the Mason Rudolph-led Titans, the Colts’ defense nearly collapsed to turn a blowout win into a game where Tennessee had possession of the ball down one score (albeit with only three seconds remaining).

    The end result was a 69.5 (D+) grade, Indy’s third-worst of the season. The Colts have had problems generating pressure all year, averaging the third-lowest non-blitz pressure rate of any defense (24.8%).

    That remained true against one of the league’s worst lines, as Indy had just a single sack and generated its fifth-lowest non-blitz pressure rate of the year (20.6%).

    Indianapolis’ defense has seen little improvement over the last three seasons since Shane Steichen became head coach and is actually marginally worse this year than over the last two combined. Gus Bradley’s second season as defensive coordinator hasn’t brought meaningful improvement, which could result in a change if Indianapolis misses the playoffs.

    Colts at Giants Trends and Insights

    Indianapolis Colts

    Team: On Sunday, the Colts became the third team in the 2000s to score 38+ points without throwing 15 passes (and the first to do so when not facing a member of the Manning family).

    QB: Anthony Richardson had more rush attempts than completions against the Titans and has a rushing score in three straight games (he has yet to throw for a touchdown in three consecutive appearances during his career).

    Offense: Indianapolis picked up 53.3% of their third downs on Sunday (eight-of-15), matching their highest rate of the season (also: Week 4 vs. Steelers)

    Defense: Opponents have converted all five of their red zone trips against the Colts into touchdowns over the past two weeks—only twice in the first 14 weeks did they allow a 100% conversion rate.

    Fantasy: Get your AFC South running back exposure in August and watch it pay off in the biggest moments. Since 2017, four times has a player run for 210+ yards in a December game:

    1. Derrick Henry (2018) vs. Jaguars

    2. Derrick Henry (2019) at Texans

    3. Derrick Henry (2020) at Jaguars

    4. Jonathan Taylor (Sunday) vs. Titans

    Betting: The Colts have failed to cover four straight December road games (three of those four carrying a failure to cover by at least 13 points).

    New York Giants

    Team: The Giants have matched the franchise record with 13 losses (also: 2017 and 2021). On the bright side, their last playoff appearance came in 2022, following a 13-loss campaign.

    QB: Drew Lock has completed over 20 passes in all three of his starts this season, but none of them have gained more than 23 yards, and he has more interceptions than touchdown passes in each of those contests.

    Offense: New York has picked up 13-of-52 third downs over their past four games (25%).

    Defense: Opponents have picked up 17-of-25 third downs against the Giants over the past two weeks.

    Fantasy: The Giants, as a team, have 1,603 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 369 carries – Saquon Barkley has turned his 314 carries into 1,838 yards and 13 scores this season.

    Betting: Unders are 12-4 in New York’s past 16 home games (they are 1-5 ATS in their past six such games).

    Coping with Chemotherapy: Compassionate Advice and Authoritative Information

    Chemotherapy can be a challenging and overwhelming experience for many individuals. From managing side effects to navigating emotional struggles, undergoing chemotherapy treatment requires a great deal of strength and resilience.

    If you or a loved one is currently undergoing chemotherapy, it is important to remember that you are not alone. There are resources and support systems available to help you cope with the physical and emotional toll of treatment.

    Here are some compassionate advice and authoritative information to help you navigate the challenges of chemotherapy:

    1. Educate yourself: Understanding the chemotherapy process, potential side effects, and how to manage them can help alleviate anxiety and empower you to take control of your treatment. Consult with your healthcare team and ask questions to ensure you have a clear understanding of what to expect.

    2. Lean on your support system: Surround yourself with loved ones who can offer emotional support and practical assistance during your treatment. Whether it’s a listening ear, help with household chores, or transportation to appointments, having a strong support system can make a world of difference.

    3. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is essential during chemotherapy. Make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation, such as gentle exercise, meditation, or spending time in nature. Eating a healthy diet, staying hydrated, and getting enough rest can also help support your physical and emotional well-being.

    4. Seek professional help: If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or other emotional challenges during chemotherapy, don’t hesitate to seek help from a mental health professional. Therapy, support groups, and other resources can provide valuable support and guidance as you navigate the emotional ups and downs of treatment.

    5. Stay informed: Stay informed about your treatment plan, medications, and potential side effects. Keep a journal to track your symptoms and communicate any concerns with your healthcare team. Being proactive and informed can help you advocate for your own care and make informed decisions about your treatment.

    Remember, coping with chemotherapy is a journey, and it’s important to be patient and kind to yourself as you navigate this challenging time. With the right support, information, and self-care practices, you can successfully manage the challenges of chemotherapy and emerge stronger on the other side.

    Twin sisters Esther and Pauline (both portrayed by Wendie Malick, Confessions of a Shopaholic) were inseparable as children, teenagers, and adults until they both became advice columnists—Esther writing as Ann Landers, and Pauline for “”Dear Abby.”” The competition for readers, success and fame led to a public, decades-long feud that drove them apart. This is the fascinating true story of the brutal fight between family for the title of top advice maven in the country.

    In this post, we will dive into the fascinating story of Ann Landers and Dear Abby – two iconic advice columnists who captivated readers for decades with their wisdom, wit, and humor.

    Ann Landers, whose real name was Esther Lederer, started writing her advice column in 1955 and quickly became a household name. Her no-nonsense approach and practical advice resonated with readers across the country, earning her a loyal following.

    Meanwhile, her twin sister Pauline Phillips, who wrote under the pseudonym of Dear Abby, launched her own advice column in 1956. Despite being in direct competition with her sister, Abby’s column became just as popular, thanks to her blunt yet compassionate responses to readers’ questions.

    The rivalry between Ann and Abby was legendary, with the two sisters often exchanging barbs in their columns. However, behind the scenes, they maintained a close relationship and supported each other in their respective careers.

    Together, Ann and Abby revolutionized the world of advice columns, paving the way for countless others to follow in their footsteps. Their columns offered guidance on everything from love and relationships to etiquette and social issues, earning them a place in the hearts of readers for generations to come.

    So, if you’re ever in need of some sage advice, look no further than the timeless wisdom of Ann Landers and Dear Abby. Their words may have been written decades ago, but their insights are just as relevant today. Take my advice and give their columns a read – you won’t be disappointed!

    Is Blake Corum Playing in Week 17?

    Corum is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

    We’ll continue to monitor the Rams’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.

    Should You Start or Sit Blake Corum in Week 17?

    Corum gets his drive or two a game, and that’s cute. It’s also infuriating for those holding Kyren Williams’ bags, but that’s all it is. It’s just a wrinkle, not a feature.

    The rookie has posted a sub-20% snap share in three consecutive games and for the bulk of the season, outside of an outlier Week 13 win against the Saints in which he was on the field for 32.7% of the Rams’ plays.

    Corum has yet to clear eight touches in a game this year. While holding a handcuff was a logical strategy up to this point, you’re in go-for-it mode now. You don’t need to cut ties with Corum, but if you’re trying to maximize the number of Flex options you have in a do-or-die situation, I’d much rather use that roster spot for a home-run-hitting receiver or a secondary RB where there are questions about the starter.

    As things stand right now, we have no reason to think that Williams will see anything less than his standard workload this week, which means that Corum doesn’t project as a usable piece.

    Are you looking for start/sit advice for other players in your lineup? Read our Week 17 Fantasy Start-Sit Advice Cheat Sheet for every fantasy-relevant player in every game.

    Blake Corum’s Fantasy Points Projection in Week 17

    As of Saturday, Corum is projected to score 8 fantasy points in PPR formats. This includes 10.7 rushing attempts for 48.2 yards and 0.3 touchdowns. It also includes 0.5 receptions for 9.6 yards and 0 touchdowns.

    PFN Insight on the Cardinals’ Defense

    The Arizona Cardinals’ run-defense issues haven’t generated as much attention as their pass-defense woes. After all, success in the passing game tends to correlate stronger with wins and losses, and Arizona still ranks last in pass success rate.

    However, Sunday’s loss to the Panthers provided a harsh reminder that this is also the 28th-ranked unit by run success rate.

    Arizona allowed Chuba Hubbard and Bryce Young to rip off long runs, resulting in -0.22 EPA per rush allowed. That was the Cardinals’ second-worst performance in a game all season, behind only the Week 4 loss to Washington.

    The Cardinals took a step forward in 2024, but the end will feel like a disappointment after Arizona was the clear midseason favorite to claim the NFC West. The lack of defensive talent beyond Budda Baker was a well-known roster flaw entering the season and one that will need a serious commitment of offseason resources to fix for 2025.

    Cardinals at Rams Trends and Insights

    Arizona Cardinals

    Team: Arizona is 4-15 and has been outscored by 152 points (492-340) in their past 19 road games.

    QB: Kyler Murray doesn’t have more touchdown passes than interceptions in a game since doing so against the Jets in Week 10 (Arizona has lost four of five games over that stretch).

    Offense: James Conner has consecutive games with a 40+ yard carry – he had one such run in his career with the Cardinals prior (794 rush attempts).

    Defense: The Cardinals allowed the Panthers to average 3.0 points per drive on Sunday – Arizona falls to 1-6 this season when allowing at least 2.0 points per drive.

    Fantasy: Conner is the first RB aged 29 or older with 100 rush yards, a rush TD, and 25 receiving yards in consecutive games since Latavius Murray (2019) – he joined this list in the first half last week against the Panthers.

    Betting: Since the start of 2022, overs are 4-0 when the Cardinals play on extended rest (1-0 this season: 28-27 win over the Dolphins with a game that closed with a 46.5-point total).

    Los Angeles Rams

    Week 17 Start/Sit Advice and Fantasy Projection


    Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone fantasy managers received a boost to their projections on Saturday when the Carolina Panthers were forced to place Chuba Hubbard on IR. However, it leaves Hubbard managers scrambling to become managers of Blackshear or Boone via the waiver wire.

    Of course, with only one spot freed up, most managers will be forced to choose between Blackshear and Boone. Here’s a look at both players and a recommendation.

    Is Raheem Blackshear a good pick in Week 17?

    Without Hubbard, the Carolina Panthers are forced to choose between Blackshear and Boone. According to Sportskeeda’s Start/Sit Optimizer, Blackshear is in for a productive day, but far from a breakout day. He is expected to earn 9.7 points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    If it is between the injured Hubbard and Blackshear in Week 17, take Blackshear. At this point, he is a decent option off the waiver wire as a stand-in flex. However, you may have a bench running back with which you would be better off.

    Is Mike Boone a good pick in Week 17?

    Mike Boone is the other main option for managers looking to maintain a foothold in the Panthers backfield. According to Sportskeeda’s Start/Sit Optimizer, expect Boone to earn just 4.4 points.

    At this point, most waiver wire running backs available this week on the waiver wire could earn about the same number of points. Boone should be avoided in Week 17 unless you have no other options.

    Whom should I start between Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone in Week 17?

    Raheem Blackshear and Mike Boone offer a difficult choice to managers racing with potentially the other remaining manager(s). With little time to make a choice, many are going with their gut. However, those who have taken a moment to do some research first will feel much more confident about Blackshear.

    Expect Blackshear to outperform Boone in Week 17, 9.7 points to 4.4 points, per Sportskeeda’s Start/Sit Optimizer. While neither running back is expected to make managers forget about Hubbard this week, it might be enough to spell one’s way to a fantasy championship. Put simply, go with Blackshear this week.
