Lamar Jackson (QB - BAL)

12/30/25 9:46 PM -
Devin McCourty Believes Derrick Henry Should Get 40 Touches Against Steelers’ Run Defense. Even without Lamar Jackson, the Baltimore Ravens had a ton of success offensively against the Green Bay Packers last week. They scored 41 points and ran for over 300 yards. Derrick Henry himself had potentially the best game of his career with over 200 yards and four touchdowns. Tyler Huntley wasn’t asked to do a […]

Cleveland Browns (DEF - CLE)

12/30/25 2:45 PM -
Mike Tomlin Explains Why Roman Wilson Barely Played Against Browns. Leading up to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Week 17 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, the expectation was that second-year wide receiver Roman Wilson would have a bigger opportunity with DK Metcalf out because of a suspension. Then Wilson played just nine snaps on a day in which the Steelers managed just two field goals in a […]

12/30/25 2:31 PM -
Mike Tomlin ‘Deserves Better’ From Steelers Fans, Says ESPN Analyst. The Pittsburgh Steelers fan base has run out of patience. A group of ESPN analysts believe the group is spoiled. Defending Mike Tomlin despite his recent lack of playoff success, David Dennis Jr. thinks Tomlin is being treated unfairly. “He deserves better than what the Steelers and what that fan base has been doing to […]

Darnell Washington (TE - PIT)

12/30/25 2:15 PM -
Trai Essex Outlines Steelers’ Potential Plan To Replace Darnell Washington. DK Metcalf’s absence from the offense for the final two-week stretch is huge, but I would argue Darnell Washington is a close second. The Pittsburgh Steelers are in trouble without both of them on Sunday for a winner-takes-all game against the Baltimore Ravens. Not only has Washington turned into one of Aaron Rodgers’ favorite targets, […]

Tomlin Cites Reasons For Run Defense Improvement. After allowing 217 rushing yards to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14, which came one week after the Buffalo Bills rolled through Pittsburgh in frigid conditions to set a stadium record in a blowout win, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been pretty darn good against the run in the last month. In Week 15, the Steelers […]

Mike Tomlin ‘Committed To Making Sure’ Sunday Night Isn’t Aaron Rodgers’ Last Game. Just as suddenly as Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers started to hit their stride in December, they could now find themselves going home for the season with a loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. For Rodgers, there’s a very good chance it could be the final game of his 21-year Hall of […]

While Ben Roethlisberger may not have to worry about Philip Rivers’ threat, Matthew Stafford just passed him in the record books. With a 269-yard effort last night, he climbed into sixth place on the all-time passing yardage list. He went into the night 100 yards behind Roethlisberger, sitting at 64,088. Now with 64,257, he knocks […]

Patriots’ Stefon Diggs faces strangulation and assault charges in Massachusetts.
Diggs charged with felony strangulation, denies claims
Judge considers sealing records before arraignment
Case unfolds as Patriots chase NFL playoff bye
New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is facing felony and misdemeanor charges stemming from an alleged incident earlier this month, as a Massachusetts judge considers whether key court records should remain sealed ahead of his arraignment.
Diggs, 32, is charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery in connection with an incident alleged to have occurred on 2 December, according to court filings. A motion hearing was held Tuesday morning in Dedham District Court, where Diggs’ attorney appeared remotely to request that police reports and related documents be impounded.

Marvin Harrison (WR - IND)

Marvin Harrison Jr. suffers another foot injury.
Gannon: Marvin Harrison Jr. hurt his foot Sunday. Other foot than the one that had the heel issue.
Will play finale “if he is healthy enough to play.” (AZCardinals.com - Darren Urban)
FF Today's Take: Harrison has been a non-factor in fantasy for most of the second half of the season. The Cardinals have virtually nothing to play for and would only risk sliding down a couple of spots in the draft if they somehow beat the Rams in Week 18. Thus, expect Harrison to sit this one out and give Michael Wilson one more chance to serve as an alpha receiver in 2025.Source:

The Rams won’t have wide receiver Davante Adams, but the Falcons will have wide receiver Drake London.
Adams will miss his second consecutive game with a hamstring injury after the Rams listed him as doubtful to play. He aggravated the injury in the Week 15 win over the Lions.
Adams has 60 receptions for 789 yards and a league-best 14 touchdowns. (Pro Football Talk)
FF Today's Take: Fire up your Konata Mumpfield shares in the fantasy championship game, people! While the Rams will likely have a number of receivers complementing Puka Nacua in just over an hour, Mumpfield should see the most playing time of any of them. Los Angeles also figures to run plenty of 13 personnel (three tight ends) and might lean on the run a bit more. As for London, he played about 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps in his return to action last week. He was far from 100 percent in that one, so it would be a shock if he made a significant impact in this contest.Source:

Will Patriots rest starters for Week 18 game vs. Dolphins with No. 1 seed in reach?. The Patriots could end Week 18 as the AFC's No. 1 playoff seed and have home-field advantage throughout the postseason if they defeat the Miami Dolphins (7-9) on Jan. 4 and if the 13-3 Denver Broncos fail to beat the Los Angeles Chargers (11-5) that same afternoon.

Outside of Aaron Rodgers and DK Metcalf, few players are more important to the Steelers’ offense than Darnell Washington. His versatility makes the jumbo package work, and he powers the tush push and creates consistent mismatches in the passing game. Unfortunately, his 2025 season has now likely come to an end. Ian Rapoport discussed the […]

The Las Vegas Raiders and the thin line between tanking and incompetence.
Las Vegas shut down their two stars, angered their leader and were humiliated by the Giants. Whether it’s strategy or dysfunction, the result looks the same
The Las Vegas Raiders made waves this week by putting its two, and only, stars on injured reserve ahead of the final two games that will decide the 2026 NFL draft order. Tight end Brock Bowers and edge rusher Maxx Crosby were shut down from a consequential battle for the top draft pick against the Giants and a Week 18 game against Kansas City due to nagging knee injuries. Bowers had scored four touchdowns over the past five weeks for a team that doesn’t score many points. Crosby is a human wrecking ball who has amassed 28 tackles for loss this season. He’s the player that causes opponents to lose sleep. Both Bowers and Crosby were recently named to the Pro Bowl despite their nagging injuries. Bowers stepped away quietly. Crosby did not.
A fuming Crosby left the Raiders facility Friday. The next day he sent a message to the organization by posting videos of himself playing basketball with his young daughter. He did not appear particularly injured.
