Mike Fiers is On the Playoff Roster

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Mike Fiers will be on the playoff roster for the Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. Fiers is not getting the start, but could come out of the bullpen in this one. Sean Manaea will get the start after posting a 1.21 ERA in September. Right-hander Homer […]

Sean Manaea Named Starter for Wednesday

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Sean Manaea has been named the starting pitcher for Wednesday's Wild Card game against the Tampa Bay Rays. Manaea posted a 1.21 ERA through September, so it's not surprising that he's getting the start here. He missed the first five months of the season due to a torn labrum. The A's […]

Pascal Siakam Could Play Point Guard

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam may see some minutes at point guard this upcoming season, according to head coach Nick Nurse. To be fair, it's unclear when this could happen, so this won't change his value by much. Nurse loves Siakam's positional versatility, so that is a big factor here. He should see even a […]

John Henson Gets Through First Practice on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center John Henson (wrist) was able to go through his first practice of the year on Tuesday. Henson has not participated in a practice since early November of 2018. He needed wrist surgery last season, and then was traded to the Cavs after he was ruled out for the year. He should find […]

Lorenzo Cain is Included on Playoff Roster

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ankle) will be included on the playoff roster for the Wild Card game against the Washington Nationals on Tuesday. Cain is dealing with a sprained ankle that he suffered during a collision at home plate on Saturday. This doesn't guarantee that Cain will start, but at least he's on the […]

Gio Gonzalez, Zach Davies Won't Pitch Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitchers Gio Gonzalez and Zach Davies won't pitch in Tuesday's Wild Card game against the Washington Nationals. Davies drew the start on Friday and Gonzalez threw 72 pitches on Saturday. It's a one-game playoff game, so neither will pitch in that contest. It appears the rest of the Brewers staff will be […]

Gio Gonzalez Unlikely to Be Available on Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez (rest) is unlikely going to be available for Tuesday's Wild Card game against the Washington Nationals. Gonzalez threw 72 pitches on Saturday, so he's unlikely to pitch on Tuesday, according to manager Craig Counsell. Right-hander Brandon Woodruff will draw the start, but is expected to only pitch a few […]

Paul George is At 85-90 Percent

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) is making solid progress, but still hasn't been cleared for contact. Head coach Doc Rivers said that George looked healthy on Sunday. He's expected to miss all of October and possibly some of November. The Clippers have depth, so they won't need to rush George back on the […]

Kyle Kuzma Able to Shoot on Monday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) was able to get up shots during Monday's practice. However, Kuzma was landing on one foot in order to take off stress from his recently injured foot. He's been able to do most of his normal drills fine, so he'll just need time to heal. Consider Kuzma questionable […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Will Miss October

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) will miss the entire month of October after suffering a foot sprain. He'll miss the preseason and the first few weeks of the regular season. Kevon Looney is expected to begin the season as the starting center in Golden State. He'll likely switch to a bench role once […]

Joel Embiid Wants to Play Over 70 Games

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid said he hopes to play in over 70 games this upcoming season to help the Sixers grab the No. 1 seed. Embiid went on to say he wants to win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year. He will likely reduce his minutes per game in order to sit out […]

Brandon Woodruff Named Starter for Wild Card Game

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Brandon Woodruff has been named the starting pitcher for Tuesday's Wild Card game against the Washington Nationals. Woodruff has only made two appearances on the mound since missing two months due to an oblique injury. He's posting a 3.62 ERA with 143 strikeouts in 121 2/3 innings this season. It's unclear […]

Kurt Suzuki Should Be Fine for Wild Card Game

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (elbow) is expected to draw the start behind the plate for Tuesday's Wild Card game against the Milwaukee Brewers. Suzuki has been dealing with a right elbow issue since early September. He was able to make a few starts over the weekend, so that's a good sign. The Nats will […]

Lorenzo Cain Expects to Play in Wild Card Game

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Lorenzo Cain (ankle) is expected to play in Tuesday's Wild Card game against the Washington Nationals. Cain suffered a sprained right ankle after colliding with catcher Tony Wolters on Saturday. He didn't play in Sunday's contest likely due to rest. The Brewers will likely wait and see how Cain feels before the […]

Ryan Braun Will Play in Wild Card Game

Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun (calf) will play in Tuesday's Wild Card game against the Washington Nationals, according to manager Craig Counsell. Braun suffered a calf strain on Friday, but it was believed to be minor. Braun is expected to play in left field and bat in the middle of the order versus righty Max […]

Kris Bryant, Javier Baez Not Expected to Have Surgery

Chicago Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant (ankle) and shortstop Javier Baez (thumb) are not expected to have surgery this offseason. Both players were forced to miss time down the stretch of the season. Bryant is dealing with a moderate ankle sprain, but that should heal quickly over the winter. Baez suffered a hairline fracture in […]

Wil Lutz Connects on Four Field Goals

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz was the only source of points for the team in the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Lutz knocked down all four of his field goal attempts in the Week 4 win. He continues to be one of the best kickers in the game, so he should be owned […]

Latavius Murray Finishes With Five Touches in Week 4

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has been unable to make much noise since his Week 1 performance. Losing quarterback Drew Brees may have changed the gameplan for the Saints, but Murray looks lost right now. He rushed four times for 14 yards in the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He caught one […]

Ted Ginn Struggles in Victory

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn had a fantastic start to the season, but hasn't been able to do anything since Week 1. Ginn has five total receptions since Week 1, so fantasy owners are going to lose patience quickly. He caught three of his five targets for 19 yards in the victory over […]

Jared Cook Continues His Sluggish Play

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook was expected to be a big-time target for the Saints when he signed with them in the offseason. However, Cook has been held to three receptions or less during every game this season. He caught three of his six targets for 21 yards during the 12-10 victory over […]

Michael Thomas Grabs Nine Receptions in Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas was seemingly the only receiver on the team that did anything for the Saints in their victory. He caught all nine of his targets for 95 yards in the 12-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Thomas has surprisingly not lost any value since quarterback Drew Brees went down. […]

Alvin Kamara is Held in Check by Cowboys

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara was held in check during the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Kamara rushed 17 times for 69 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He also caught three passes for 20 yards in the passing game. He's seen less production with Teddy […]

Teddy Bridgewater is Sharp in Victory

New Orleans Saints quarterback Teddy Bridgewater played well in the 12-10 victory over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Bridgewater was 23 of 30 with 195 passing yards and one interception in the victory. He didn't have any deep flashy passes, but he managed the game well for the Saints. It wasn't a strong performance […]

Eddy Pineiro Knocks Down Three Field Goals

Chicago Bears kicker Eddy Pineiro (knee) was questionable coming into Sunday's Week 4 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, but fantasy owners are glad he played. Pineiro connected on all three of his field goal attempts in this one. He finished with 10 total points, while the Vikings finished with six points in the loss to […]

Anthony Miller Continues to Have Little Value

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller has four receptions through four games this season. He caught two of his three targets in the 16-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Miller has been a forgotten man in the Bears offense this season. It's getting to the point where he belongs on the waiver […]

Trey Burton Hauls in Two Receptions in Victory

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton hasn't seen a high volume of targets, which could be part of the reason he's struggled this season. Burton saw just four targets, catching two of them for 16 yards in the 16-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The Bears have continued to look at other receivers, which is […]

Allen Robinson Hauls in All Seven Targets in Week 4

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson was seemingly the only receiver on the team that played well in the 16-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. Robinson caught all seven targets for 77 yards in the Week 4 win. He's been productive all four weeks this season, despite the Bears offense not clicking in most games. […]

Tarik Cohen Continues to Struggle

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen has not been able to find any room to run during the first four games of the season. Cohen rushed five times for 11 yards in the 16-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Cohen caught two passes for seven yards and a touchdown in the passing […]

David Montgomery Rushes 21 Times in Victory

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery was a focal point of the offense during the 16-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 4. Montgomery rushed 21 times for 53 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He also caught three passes for 14 yards through the air. It appears the Bears were […]

Chase Daniel Plays Surprisingly Well in Week 4

Chicago Bears quarterback Chase Daniel was asked to come off the bench and play basically the entire game after starter Mitch Trubisky (shoulder) went down. Trubisky was taken down by a Minnesota Vikings defender and exited with a left shoulder injury in the first quarter. He headed to the locker room and shortly after that […]
