Rodney McGruder Won't Play on Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Doc Rivers is unsure when McGruder is going to be ready to play. It sounds safe to leave McGruder on the waiver wire going forward in most formats. Maurice Harkless should soak up most of […]

Joel Embiid Participates in Shootaround

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) was able to participate in Monday's shootaround. He missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but this is a good sign that he'll play. Kyle O'Quinn and Matisse Thybulle would see a boost in minutes if Embiid is unable to play. More information on his status should […]

Jeremy Lamb is Officially Ruled Out for Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) was been officially ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the second game in a row that Lamb has missed due to a hip pointer. Lamb didn't practice over the weekend, so seeing him ruled out here isn't surprising. Edmond Sumner should get another chance […]

Ricky Rubio is Ready to Go for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (knee) will be ready to go for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Rubio missed Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a sore left knee. He says it's still a little swollen, but was able to fully participate during Monday's shootaround. Jevon Carter will return to the bench with […]

Otto Porter Will Play Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) will suit up for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He needed six stitches to repair a cut on his mouth that he suffered during Saturday's game. Porter was able to stay in the game and is fine for Monday's contest. The hip issue is a bigger concern […]

Dwight Powell Could Play on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Powell has missed the first two games of the season due to a lingering hamstring issue. However, he's getting closer to a return. Fantasy owners should make sure he's not on the waiver wire. Check back on Tuesday […]

Harry Giles is Getting Closer to A Return

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, Giles was listed as questionable for this one, so he's getting closer to taking the court. He'll offer some upside with Marvin Bagley (thumb) sidelined for a significant amount of time. Giles is only worth a look […]

Demarcus Robinson is Quiet in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson saw his fantasy value increase earlier in the season, but it's taken a dip now. Sammy Watkins was back and healthy for Week 8 and that hurt Robinson's playing time. Robinson split time with Mecole Hardman and that is probably going to be the plan going forward. He […]

Mecole Hardman Finds End Zone in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has lost a significant amount of his fantasy value with Sammy Watkins returning from injury. Hardman caught both his two targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. He split time with Demarcus Robinson, so that is likely going to be […]

Sammy Watkins Returns With a Spark

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins had been sidelined the past three weeks, but came back with some fire in Week 8. Watkins caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in the loss to Green Bay. It wasn't a great game for Watkins' fantasy owners, but a positive performance nonetheless. He's not […]

Travis Kelce Scores TD Against Packers

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continued to have reliable fantasy value despite not having quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) under center. Kelce caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. This was the first time that Kelce has scored a touchdown […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Six Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was expected to lose some fantasy value without quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) active in Week 8. However, Hill caught six of his nine targets for 76 yards in Sunday's loss to the Packers. Hill has 70 or more yards in each game since returning in Week 6. It's […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Loss to Packers

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams hasn't been reliable for fantasy owners all season, but at least he was able to find the end zone in Week 8. Williams rushed seven times for 30 yards and scored a touchdown in the loss to the Packers on Sunday. That was the first time all season […]

LeSean McCoy Leads Team in Carries in Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was able to sustain decent fantasy value versus the Green Bay Packers in Week 8. McCoy rushed a team leading nine times for 40 yards and caught four passes for 23 yards through the air. It appears that McCoy has a reliable role in the offense, so fantasy […]

Matt Moore Throws Two Touchdowns in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore was not expected to play as well as he did during the Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Moore drew the start at quarterback due to starter Patrick Mahomes (knee) sitting out. He completed 24 of 36 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns without an interception […]

John Henson Out Next Two Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers center John Henson (hamstring) is expected to miss the next two to four weeks after suffering an injury on Saturday. Henson suffered a right hamstring strain during his season debut Saturday night. He wasn't really going to be in the rotation anyway, so fantasy owners who were taking a chance on Henson can […]

Otto Porter is Not Expected to Miss Time

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) is not expected to miss time after receiving six stitches on Sunday. Porter received stitches to repair a cut on his mouth that he suffered during Sunday's loss to the Toronto Raptors. He was able to finish the game without an issue, so Porter should be fine for Monday's […]

Cody Zeller is Back on Sunday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (personal) has returned to the team and is available for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He missed Friday's game due to personal reasons, but is back and ready on Sunday. Zeller played well in the opener on Wednesday and is worth watching and owning in most formats.

Rajon Rondo Has MRI on Leg

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (leg) had an MRI done on his leg on Sunday. The MRI revealed a mild calf strain, but he's considered to be day-to-day. The Lakers are likely going to be cautious here with their veteran guard. Alex Caruso and Avery Bradley should see more minutes until Rondo is ready […]

Marquese Chriss Will Start at Center

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss will jump into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) and Kevon Looney (hamstring) will be sidelined for this game and possibly for multiple games. Chriss could see a few starts here over the next few weeks. Fantasy owners should keep […]

Jeremy Lamb Doesn't Practice on Sunday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) doesn't suit up for practice on Sunday. Lamb is dealing with a right hip pointer, but has been increasing his activities as of late. It's unclear whether or not Lamb will suit up for Monday's game. The Pacers will likely go with a committee of players to fill the […]

Reggie Jackson Should Play on Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) is expected to return to the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson has been battling back tightness for the first week of the season. Both Derrick Rose and Luke Kennard having been playing fantastic to begin the season and are pushing for more minutes. Jackson's […]

Dwight Powell Listed as Out for Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He's been sidelined since early October due to a hamstring strain.

Rajon Rondo Might Not Play Against Hornets

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Rondo continues to deal with calf soreness, but we'll see how he's feeling before game time on Sunday. Avery Bradley and Alex Caruso will be asked to play more, assuming Rondo sits out.

Reggie Jackson is Ruled Out for Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's suffered back injuries during both of the first two games of the season. Tim Frazier will jump into the starting five because head coach Dwane Casey likes Derrick Rose coming off the bench. Rose will be the […]

Joel Embiid Won't Play Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with a right ankle sprain and the team isn't going to push him too hard. The Sixers play the Hawks on Monday, so consider Embiid questionable for that one. Kyle O'Quinn should jump into the starting […]

Jeremy Lamb is Still Unsure for Saturday

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team is going to see how Lamb feels after shootaround and make a final decision. Justin Holiday, Doug McDermott, ad Edmond Sumner would see bigger roles without Lamb available. None of those players are reliable DFS candidates […]

Jrue Holiday is Ruled Out for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He suffered a left knee sprain during Friday's game, so the team is going to be cautious here. The Pelicans have plenty of depth, but none have the same kind of talent as Holiday. Lonzo Ball, J.J. […]

Daniel Theis is Ruled Out for Saturday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. He'll be joined on the sideline by fellow big man Enes Kanter (knee) is this one.
