Larry Nance Jr. Won't Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. (ankle) will not play on Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nance sprained his ankle last week and it's about to cost him a week of action. Kevin Love will get some playing time at center and Tristan Thompson will likely see minutes in the 25-30 range. Hopefully Nance is […]

Marc Gasol Remains Questionable on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol (back) will be a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Gasol looked like he was in some discomfort on Wednesday, so he's questionable for this contest. Jaren Jackson Jr. would see a huge increase in playing time if Gasol is unable to play. Jackson is gaining fantasy […]

Serge Ibaka Jumps Into Starting Lineup

Toronto Raptors forward/center Serge Ibaka will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. Jonas Valanciunas will head to the bench for this one, but he's said before that he is fine with coming off the bench. Kyle Lowry, Danny Green, Kawhi Leonard and Paskal Siakam are the other four starters for […]

Mitchell Robinson is Active on Friday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) is active for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Robinson played in just two minutes of the regular season opener before exiting with an ankle issue. The Knicks held him out of the second half, but they were likely just being cautious. He's expected to see more playing […]

Courtney Lee Remains Out Friday

New York Knicks guard Courtney Lee (neck) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. This neck issue has been bothering Lee for about a month and has made it difficult for him to practice at all. Frank Ntilikina is going to start, but doesn't have a bunch of upside […]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Won't Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (personal, groin) will not play against the New York Knicks on Friday. RHJ just welcomed a baby into the world, but is also dealing with a groin issue. It's unclear which is keeping him out of the game on Friday. Jared Dudley is expected to jump back into the starting […]

Allen Crabbe Will Play Against Knicks

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) will play against the New York Knicks on Friday. Crabbe sat out of the season opener on Wednesday, but is back and ready to go for this one. Head coach Kenny Atkinson has not said whether or not Crabbe will have a minutes limit. Joe Harris should lose some […]

Russell Westbrook Might Play on Friday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) has been going through workouts and could play against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. He missed Tuesday's regular season opener against the Golden State Warriors. Dennis Schroder started at point guard and finished with 21 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in […]

Andre Iguodala is Sitting Out on Friday

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Andre Iguodala (calf) is sitting out of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He was questionable heading into this one, but the Warriors are going to be cautious with Iggy. Jordan Bell should see increased playing time in this one. Jonas Jerebko and Alfonzo McKinnie could get some minutes as well, […]

Travis Kelce is a Top-Tier TE1

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has caught at least five passes in every game this season besides Week 1. He's been exactly what fantasy owners have needed this season. He's a reliable top tier tight end just about every single week. The Bengals defense has given up the third most fantasy points to […]

Sammy Watkins Should Rebound Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins caught just two passes for 18 yards in the loss to the Patriots last week. He should rebound this week against a Bengals defense that ranks 27th in passing yards allowed. A change of scenery has helped Watkins this season, but Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce are still […]

Tyreek Hill is a WR1 Against Bengals

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill finished with 142 receiving yards and three touchdowns against the Patriots last week. There is basically no chance that happens again this week, but Hill remains a strong fantasy option. The Bengals ranked 27th in passing yards allowed this season. Hill should have no problems against the Cincinnati […]

Kareem Hunt Has Found His Rhythm

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt had 185 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Patriots in Week 6. Hunt was shaky to start off the season, but has finally found his rhythm once again. Hunt has seen his carries decline from last season, but he still remains productive. The Bengals […]

Patrick Mahomes is Elite QB in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown for 300 passing yards or more in five straight games. Mahomes threw four touchdowns against the Patriots last week and is showing no signs of slowing down. He'll face a Bengals defense that ranks 27th in passing yards allowed this season. This should be another elite matchup […]

Josh Reynolds Could See Handful of Targets

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds has only caught three passes all season, but he should be more involved in Week 7. Cooper Kupp (knee) is sidelined this week, so Reynolds will be the No. 3 receiver against the 49ers. There is not a ton of value here, but Reynolds could be a cheap […]

Robert Woods Should See Boost in Production

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has finished with 100 receiving yards in three of the last four games. He's caught at least five passes in each week since Week 1. Cooper Kupp (knee) is sidelined, so that means Woods should see more passes coming his way. Woods saw 10 targets last week and […]

Brandin Cooks is a WR2 in Week 7

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks caught only two passes last week, but looks to rebound against the 49ers in Week 7. Cooks started off the season with four straight games with 87 receiving yards or more. He should get back to putting up those numbers against a 49ers defense that has been mediocre […]

Todd Gurley Will Continue to be Unstoppable

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed for over 200 yards last week and he might just do it again in Week 7. Gurley has scored 11 total touchdowns this season and he'll likely add to that this week. The 49ers run defense has been below average and should have a difficult time trying […]

Jared Goff Should Rebound Against 49ers

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has been shaky over the last two games. He's only thrown one touchdown while throwing three interceptions over the last two weeks. Luckily, Goff is heading into a matchup against the 49ers defense that is allowing two passing touchdowns per game this season. This is the perfect spot for […]

Dwyane Wade Expected to Play on Thursday

Miami Heat shooting guard Dwyane Wade (rest) is expected to play in Thursday's contest against the Washington Wizards. It's the second game in a back-to-back set, so usually a veteran like Wade would rest. However, the Heat are banged up and need all the help they can get right now. Wade should see minutes in […]

Delon Wright is Questionable for Friday

Toronto Raptors point guard Delon Wright (groin) was limited in Thursday's practice and remains questionable for Friday's contest against the Boston Celtics. It would be surprising to see Wright back on the court this quick. Fred Vanvleet should see minutes in the 20-25 range if Wright sits out again.

Allen Crabbe Could Play on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. There haven't been any reports about Crabbe practicing, so this is surprising news. His return should decrease the playing time of guys like Joe Harris. Crabbe is really only worth a look in deeper leagues at the moment.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson (personal) did not practice on Thursday, but is probable for Friday's contest. RHJ recently became a father, so his status for Friday is still unknown. Most likely he'll be able to return, but there is a chance he does miss Friday's game. He didn't play in the preseason due to […]

Julius Randle Expected to Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Julius Randle (foot) is probable for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Randle is dealing with left foot plantar fasciitis, which basically only heals with rest. He remains listed as probable for the moment, but fantasy owners are just going to have to wait and see.

JaMychal Green is Probable for Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center JaMychal Green (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Green was reportedly dealing with a sore shoulder, but the knee injury is new. He's listed as probable, so this likely isn't a serious issue. Jaren Jackson Jr. is going to eat away at Green's minutes all season […]

Denzel Valentine Ruled Out on Thursday

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine (ankle) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Valentine has been unable to get through a full practice. He won't be able to get back into game action until he can fully practice. Justin Holiday should see plenty of playing time in this one. Valentine is […]

Cameron Payne Will Start on Thursday

Chicago Bulls point guard Cameron Payne will draw the start at point guard against the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday. Kris Dunn (personal) is not available for this one, so Payne will get the emergency start. Payne could be a cheap DFS option, but he didn't play overly well last season. Zach LaVine is likely the […]

Dion Waiters, James Johnson Will Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters (ankle) and forward James Johnson (hernia) will both remain on the sideline for Thursday's game. There have not been any reports of Waiters increasing activity at practice. His timetable remains a question mark at the moment. Johnson should return to action shortly. He could be back in the rotation as […]

Justise Winslow is Doubtful on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (hamstring) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. This is the second game of a back-to-back set and Winslow sat out on Wednesday. It's highly unlikely that Winslow is ready to play without any practice time beforehand. Rodney McGruder and Derrick Jones Jr. should see increased playing time, […]

Wayne Ellington is Questionable on Thursday

Miami Heat guard/forward Wayne Ellington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. Ellington was forced to miss all of the preseason and the first game of the season due to a sore left ankle. The Heat have multiple players likely watching from the sidelines on Thursday. Josh Richardson should see […]
