Damien Williams Gets One Carry in Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams looked like a ghost on the field in the 31-24 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 6. Williams rushed one time for six yards on the ground. Luckily, he caught one pass for a 14 yard touchdown that gave him some fantasy value. LeSean McCoy saw almost […]

Patrick Mahomes Tosses Three Touchdowns in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was somewhat underwhelming in the 31-24 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 6. He completed 19 of 35 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns with one interception. The last three weeks have been fairly average weeks for Mahomes in terms of fantasy production. The three touchdowns was […]

Rodney Hood Will Sit Out Against Suns

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Rodney Hood (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with back spasms, so the team is likely just being cautious here. Hood will battle Kent Bazemore for playing time in Portland. He'll be worth a look in deeper leagues, but that's about […]

Anthony Davis Should Be Fine for Regular Season

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (thumb) was injured during the first quarter of Saturday's preseason loss. The team is calling the injury a Grade 1 sprain, but Davis will have an MRI done on Sunday. The Lakers next preseason game is on Monday, but it's safe to assume he's done for the preseason. Davis […]

Nikola Vucevic is Back at Practice on Saturday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) was able to fully participate in Saturday's practice, according to head coach Steve Clifford. Vucevic is dealing with a mild ankle sprain, but has downplayed the severity. It's unclear whether or not Vucevic will suit up for Sunday's preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He should be fine for […]

Jonas Valanciunas Shut Down for Preseason

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) will be shut down for the rest of the preseason. Valanciunas is dealing with foot soreness, but the team doesn't appear worried about it. They want to give him as much rest as possible before the regular season. It's unclear whether or not Valanciunas will be ready for the […]

Darius Garland is Doubtful for Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's preseason game against the Boston Celtics. He was limited in camp earlier due to a left foot issue. Garland has some decent upside in the middle rounds of drafts, assuming he's healthy. The Cavs are rebuilding, so Garland should see plenty of action […]

Kyle Lowry is Questionable to Play Versus Bulls

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. Lowry has not played since undergoing thumb surgery in July. It's unclear whether or not Lowry will be ready for opening night. He'll be a steal in fantasy drafts, assuming he's healthy this season.

Marc Gasol Sits Out Against Bulls

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) will sit out of Sunday's preseason contest against the Chicago Bulls. He made his preseason debut on Thursday, but played just 18 minutes off the bench. The Raptors are going to manage his workload after he played in the FIBA World Cup this summer. Gasol still holds fantasy value, […]

Alec Burks is Making Progress

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) is making solid progress, but still remains out of practice. He sprained his right ankle about a week ago and still has yet to practice. Burks needs to play during camp to earn his spot in the rotation. The Warriors need depth guys like Burks, but it's hard […]

Kevon Looney Remains Out of Practice

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) remains out of practice after suffering an injury over a week ago. He hurt his hamstring 10 days ago, but the Warriors are making sure he's fully healthy for the regular season. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss will continue to fill in at center. Looney does have some […]

Paul George Could Miss First Ten Games

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) could be sidelined the first ten games of the regular season, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers have not given a definitive timetable, but this sounds about accurate. That would have George returning around the middle of November. He'll still have great fantasy value, despite being […]

Jrue Holiday is Removed from Injury List

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (quad) has been removed from the injury report for Monday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Holiday did not play in Friday's contest due to a left quad contusion. Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker saw more minutes without Holiday on the court. It appears Holiday is fine, so […]

Ricky Rubio Will Rest Against Blazers

Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (rest) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll be joined alongside by teammates Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Rubio may lose some of the ball handling to Booker in the regular season, but that won't kill his fantasy value. Rubio should see […]

Eric Bledsoe Suffers Minor Rib Injury

Milwaukee Bucks guard Eric Bledsoe (rib) is in danger of missing the beginning of the regular season after suffering a rib injury. Bledsoe fractured the cartilage between two of his ribs and was given a two or three week timetable. However, the team announced it's more of a pain tolerance issue than anything else. Bledsoe […]

Alex Len is Able to Practice on Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Alex Len (back) was able to get through Friday's practice without any setbacks. He is hopefully over his back injuries and was able to suit up during the last two preseason games. There is a good chance that Len can earn the starting center job in Atlanta. He'll have decent late round […]

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 […]
