Kevin Huerter Gets Through Practice on Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) was able to get through practice on Friday without any issues. He hasn't played in the preseason yet because of knee pain. There is a chance he gets out there for a game against the Heat on Monday. Huerter has some late round appeal in most formats, assuming he's […]

Cory Joseph is Likely Out for the Preseason

Sacramento Kings guard Cory Joseph (calf) is likely going to miss the rest of the preseason, according to head coach Luke Walton. The Kings have just two games left, so it's not a huge deal to give Joseph a few days off. Joseph is battling and likely beating Yogi Ferrell for backup minutes at the […]

Nicolas Batum Should Be Ready for Regular Season

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) suffered an injury on Wednesday and could be shut down for most of the preseason. He did some pre-game work on Friday, but continues to deal with the right Achilles issue. However, the Hornets are rebuilding, so a veteran like Batum doesn't have great value on that organization. He […]

Dwight Powell Won't Play in Preseason

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (hamstring) has been making progress, but won't play in the preseason. He suffered a left hamstring injury last week and the team is going to be cautious with him during camp. They will re-evaluate Powell before the season opener. Powell still should have value in almost all formats despite the […]

Byron Pringle Could Have Value Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle caught six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Pringle had two receptions heading into last week, but could have value again versus the Houston Texans in Week 6. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable to play after missing the […]

Demarcus Robinson Has Flex Appeal in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson should find himself in a productive week with the Chiefs banged up at receiver. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable to play after missing the last month. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is doubtful after missing practice all week. It could be Mecole Hardman and Robinson suiting up as the main […]

Mecole Hardman Could Be No. 2 Option in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has found a way to have fantasy value this season with the team having banged-up receivers. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable to suit up in this one after missing the last month. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is doubtful after missing practice all week. Hardman would suit up as the […]

Travis Kelce is Looking at Elite Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been one of the most consistent fantasy players throughout the season. He had a fairly average game last week, but managed to haul in four of his 10 targets for 70 yards in the Week 5 loss to the Colts. Wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is questionable […]

Sammy Watkins is Tough to Trust Right Now

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Houston Texans. Watkins didn't play last week and missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week. It sounds like Watkins could be sidelined another game. Tyreek Hill (shoulder) could be back for the game this week, […]

Tyreek Hill Has Favorable Matchup in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Houston Texans. He missed the last four games after suffering an injury to his collarbone. The Chiefs may decide to ease Hill back into action, assuming he's cleared to play this week. However, he's heading into an excellent […]

LeSean McCoy is Low-End Flex Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was held without a carry in the 19-13 loss to the Colts in Week 5. He caught two passes for 23 yards through the air, but it was a disappointing game for McCoy. Lead back Damien Williams is back in the mix, so McCoy could see his value […]

Damien Williams Hopes for More Action in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams returned last week after a two-week absence but failed to do much on the ground. Williams rushed nine times for 23 yards and didn't find the end zone in the Week 5 loss to the Colts. Williams appears healthy now but is battling veteran back LeSean McCoy for […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Shine in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has put together average fantasy performances over the last two weeks. He has thrown for over 300 yards in both of the last two games, but has only one touchdown to show from those contests. He should rebound nicely against the Houston Texans Defense in Week 6. The same […]

Joel Embiid Will Miss Friday's Preseason Game

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. However, Embiid will suit up for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. He wants to play in over 70 games this season, but that means he'll play a few less minutes per game than he did last […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Practices on Thursday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's preseason game against the Indiana Pacers. Carter has dealt with multiple minor injuries during camp this season, but remains a solid fantasy bet. He expects to be fine for opening night and […]

Nicolas Batum Ruled Out for Preseason Game on Friday

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Nicolas Batum (Achilles) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason contest against the Philadelphia 76ers. Batum exited early on Wednesday because of right Achilles soreness. There is no reason to believe that this is going to be a lingering injury for Batum. However, he's a veteran player on a rebuilding Hornets team. […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Should Suit Up on Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is listed as probable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Both Mikal Bridges (knee) and Aron Baynes (nose) are expected to play in this matchup as well. Oubre has been dealing with right wrist tendinitis, but hopefully that isn't something that is going to linger. Oubre […]

Mikal Bridges is Expected to Suit Up on Thursday

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's preseason game against the Sacramento Kings. Bridges is dealing with a right patella bone bruise that has been lingering all camp. He should earn some regular minutes in the Suns young rotation this season. Bridges is worth grabbing in the last few rounds […]

Dewayne Dedmon is Likely to Play in Exhibition

Sacramento Kings center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) is expected to suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Phoenix Suns. He averaged 10.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists during his time in Atlanta last season. He shot well from the floor as well, so Dedmon's fantasy value is on the rise. He's competing with Harry Giles […]

Jonas Valanciunas Should Be Fine for Regular Season

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) could be sidelined for most of the preseason due to a sore foot. However, head coach Taylor Jenkins said the team is not concerned about the injury heading into the regular season. The Grizzlies will likely be cautious with their veteran big man in the preseason. His fantasy value […]

Tyler Johnson is Questionable for Preseason Contest

Phoenix Suns guard Tyler Johnson (head) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason contest against the Sacramento Kings. Johnson is dealing with a migraine and has little incentive to play in this one. He should be fine for the regular season opener, but it's unclear how much he'll play on the young Suns roster.

Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles Out on Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (rest) and forward Joe Ingles (rest) have been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Gobert has not played in the preseason yet, but he doesn't really need to warm up. He played for France at the FIBA tournament and the Jazz aren't going to push him. […]

Kevin Knox Sits Out of Practice on Wednesday

New York Knicks forward Kevin Knox (calf) was not able to participate in Wednesday's practice. Knox suffered a strained right calf during Monday's preseason game. Head coach David Fizdale downplayed the injury, so hopefully it's nothing serious. Knox should hold some pretty solid fantasy value in most formats, assuming he gets regular minutes in the […]

Tomas Satoransky Jumps Into Starting Five

Chicago Bulls point guard Tomas Satoransky will jump into the starting five for Wednesday's preseason contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kris Dunn was given the start during the first preseason game, but the Bulls are likely going to switch it up in camp. Dunn appears to have the edge over Satoransky, but both players […]

Alec Burks Continues to Be Sidelined

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He suffered right ankle sprain on Friday and hasn't suited up since then. The Warriors have little depth at the wing position, so Burks does have a path to minutes. However, health is always a concern […]

Kevin Huerter Unlikely to Play in Preseason

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Huerter has been dealing with a knee issue and is expected to miss most of the preseason. Deandre Bembry gets a chance for more minutes without Huerter on the court. Fantasy owners can go ahead and grab […]

Malik Monk Gets Into The Action on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (toe) will play during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Miami Heat. Monk missed the summer league, but is ready to show that he improved since last season. This very well could be his last chance to prove he can be an impact player in the NBA. The Hornets are desperate […]

Kawhi Leonard Might Not Play on Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) might not suit up for Thursday's preseason contest, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It appears unlikely that Leonard is going to suit up at all this preseason. The Clippers want to be cautious with Leonard going into a huge season for the organization. There is going to […]

John Collins Should Suit Up on Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (knee) is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Orlando Magic. Collins is dealing with left knee tendon pain, but the team doesn't believe it's a serious issue. The fact he's probable is a great sign that the issue is nothing to be concerned about. Collins is going […]

Kevon Looney is Still Bothered by Hamstring Issue

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's preseason contest. Looney injured his hamstring last week and hasn't played since then. The Warriors don't believe it's a serious issue, but want to remain cautious here. Omari Spellman is expected to draw the start, while Marquese Chriss will get a chance […]
