Diontae Johnson Misses Thursday's Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice. The severity of the injury is unknown at the moment.. Johnson did miss some time due to a hamstring injury earlier in the season. Possibly, the Steelers are limiting Johnson's reps ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fantasy […]

Alvin Kamara Full Participant On Thursday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. That is good news after Kamara sat out of Wednesday's practice due to an illness. This looks to be a minor issue for Kamara. The fact he's back to practice is a good sign heading into Sunday's Week 8 […]

Shaedon Sharpe Not Starting On Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe is not in the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The young guard will come off the bench with Anfernee Simons drawing the start in this game. The Blazers give Sharpe high praise so expect him to be a significant part of the rotation. […]

Terance Mann Wearing Walking Boot

Los Angeles Clippers guard Terance Mann (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot on Wednesday. The young guard suffered a sprained ankle during Monday's practice. The Clippers haven't given a timetable for Mann's return to the court. Robert Covington will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The […]

Robert Covington Moves Into Starting Five

Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's season opener versus the Portland Trail Blazers. The veteran forward will shift into the starting unit with Terance Mann (ankle) sidelined for this game. Mann actually beat out Covington for the starting power forward job, but he'll miss this game […]

Bones Hyland Available On Wednesday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Hyland is back after spraining his ankle during the preseason finale. He'll serve as the primary backup to Russell Westbrook at point guard during the season opener. He should be able to get fairly decent playing time off […]

Bradley Beal Unlikely To Play Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The star guard continues to deal with lingering back tightness and forced him to sit out of the season opener. It appears Beal is in line to miss his second straight game. Grayson Allen moved into the […]

Devin Booker Doubtful For Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) is considered doubtful for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard was dealing with a toe injury prior to Tuesday's season opener. This is not good news with fellow guard Bradley Beal (back) also unlikely to play. That means, Kevin Durant would be asked to carry […]

Cade Otton Has Low-End TE2 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has been non-existent throughout most of the first six games. In fact, Otton only has two games with 40 receiving yards or more heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. It's worth noting that wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) is listed as questionable for this […]

Trey Palmer Could See More Action

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Trey Palmer has been fairly quiet to begin the season. The rookie wideout has nine receptions for 94 yards and two touchdowns in six games this season. He is a distant third option behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (neck) in this offense. However, Godwin is currently listed as questionable […]

Mike Evans Has WR1 Value For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has seen a high usage early in the season. The veteran wideout has at least eight targets in five of his six games. The Bucs continue to lean on Evans in the passing game and that's likely to continue going forward. Evans will have a tougher matchup versus […]

Rachaad White A Flex Option For Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White continues to find little room to run this season. In fact, White has only surpassed 50 rushing yards in a single game twice this season. Luckily, White has somewhat salvaged his fantasy value with his work in the receiving game. Last week, White hauled in all six of […]

Baker Mayfield Questionable For Thursday Night Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (knee) is banged up heading into the Week 8 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. The former first-round pick didn't practice on Monday, but was a full participant on Wednesday. The fact Mayfield is back to being full is a good sign heading into this Thursday Night matchup. Mayfield is […]

Darius Garland Uncertain For Season Opener

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the season opener versus the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Garland has been playing during the preseason, but reports are saying he's dealing with a left hamstring strain. The Cavs could start Ty Jerome in his place if he isn't able to suit up. Donovan […]

Chris Duarte Questionable For Season Opener

Sacramento Kings guard/forward Chris Duarte (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener versus the Utah Jazz. The good news is, Duarte has made progress in his recovery from a left knee bone bruise. Despite that, the Kings are still listing him as questionable for Wednesday's contest. Kevin Huerter has already been named the […]

Ish Smith Signs With Hornets

The Charlotte Hornets have signed free-agent guard Ish Smith on Tuesday. The veteran guard has bounced around the league quite a bit during his time in the NBA. The 35-year-old won an NBA championship with the Denver Nuggets last season. He became a free agent after that and remained unsigned until now. During his career, […]

Jose Alvarado To Miss Next Two Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jose Alvarado (knee) is expected to miss an extended period of time. Alvarado suffered a right ankle sprain during an offseason workout. He was re-evaluated on Monday and the organization decided to shut down Alvarado for the next two weeks. That means, the 25-year-old will miss at least the first two […]

Victor Wembanyama Wants To Play In Every Game

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama recently said he wants to play in every game this upcoming season. The rookie big man said he wants to suit up in every game as long as there's no excessive risk of injury. It's nice to see him wanting to play, but it seems unlikely that the Spurs […]

Josh Okogie Moves Into Starting Five

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie will move into the starting five ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Golden State Warriors. It appears Okogie has won the competition to be the fifth starter in this rotation. He'll play alongside Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Kevin Durant, and Jusuf Nurkic on Tuesday. Veteran forward Eric Gordon will […]

Bradley Beal Sidelined For Season Opener

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) has been downgraded to out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar guard has been dealing with back issues since the beginning of the preseason. The hope was that he would be able to play here, but he continues to deal with lingering back tightness. […]

Mitch Garver Avoids Serious Injury

Texas Rangers catcher Mitch Garver (ribs) underwent precautionary X-rays on Tuesday to determine the severity of his injury. The 32-year-old slugger was removed from Monday's game after getting hit by a pitch in the ribs. Luckily, it sounds like Garver has avoided serious injury. The X-rays revealed that Garver avoided any fractures to his ribs. […]

Bryce Harper In The Three-Hole For Game 7

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper will remain in the three-spot in the lineup for Tuesday's Game 7 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Phillies' manager Rob Thompson has basically stuck with the same lineup throughout the postseason. It has been working so far, but we'll see if it continues to work on Tuesday. Harper will bat third […]

Tommy Pham Remains In The Lineup For Game 7

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Tommy Pham will remain in the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's Game 7 against the Philadelphia Phillies. The veteran outfielder will make his second straight start here. It makes sense that the D-Backs would keep Pham in the lineup after he homered in Game 6. The D-Backs will hope his bat stays […]

Draymond Green Sidelined For Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (ankle) won't suit up for Tuesday's season opener versus the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday. The veteran forward missed all of the preseason while he recovers from an ankle sprain. The Warriors will take the cautious approach here and rest Green in the opener. In his absence, Kevon Looney and […]

Josh Green Signs Three-Year Extension

Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Green has agreed to a new deal with the organization on Monday. The 22-year-old quietly put together a nice season with the Mavericks in 2022. That earned him a three-year, $41 million extension with the team. The expectation is that Green will slide into the starting five to begin the season. […]

Cole Anthony Agrees To New Deal

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony has signed a new extension with the organization on Monday. The 23-year-old has agreed to a three-year, $39 million extension with the Magic. This is a nice deal for Anthony who has been a reliable option for the Magic over the last few seasons. He averaged 13.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Won't Play In Season Opener

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) has been ruled out for Tuesday's season opener against the Denver Nuggets. This doesn't come as a surprise given the fact Vanderbilt only played in one preseason game. Luckily, this doesn't sound like a long term issue, so Vanderbilt should be fine soon. In the meantime, Rui Hachimura […]

Onyeka Okongwu Gets Four-Year Extension

Atlanta Hawks center Onyeka Okongwu has agreed to a lengthy extension with the organization on Monday. The two sides have agreed to a four-year, $62 million extension. This goes to show how much the Hawks value their former sixth overall pick from the 2020 draft. The expectation is that Okongwu will eventually take over as […]

Immanuel Quickley Doesn't Sign Extension

New York Knicks guard Immanuel Quickley has not signed an extension with the organization ahead of Monday's deadline. That means, the 24-year-old will become a restricted free agent after the 2023 season. The former 25th overall pick is entering his fourth season with the Knicks. He took a major step forward last season as he […]

Cade Otton Sees Uptick In Usage

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton put together one of his better performances during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Coming into this game, Otton had been held to 20 yards or less in two of his last three games. However, Otton was able to haul in five of his six targets […]
