Lovie Smith Appears To Be On Hot Seat

Houston Texans head coach Lovie Smith could be one-and-done with the organization. His job status is reportedly up in the air heading into Week 18. To be fair, Smith was a bit of a panic hire after the Texans fired David Culley after his surprising 2021 campaign. The only thing going for this team right […]

Harrison Smith Inactive For Week 18

Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 18 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The 33-year-old got in a full week of practice, but began feeling soreness in his knee on Friday. The organization is going to be cautious ahead of the postseason. The Bears aren't playing for anything, but […]

Russell Westbrook Listed As Probable For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook (foot) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The veteran guard is back on the injury report due to left foot soreness.

Marcus Smart Unlikely To Return On Saturday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (knee) is unlikely to return for Saturday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He ran into Zach Collins on a screen and suffered a left knee contusion. After the play, Smart was assisted by the trainers to the locker room. Malcolm Brogdon would see a boost in playing time, assuming […]

LeBron James Tagged As Questionable On Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The superstar forward is dealing with left ankle soreness after playing 33 minutes on Friday. Possibly, the Lakers decide to rest James, but this will likely end up being a game-time decision. His absence would open up […]

Alex Caruso Won't Suit Up On Saturday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old will miss his second game in a row after suffering a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's contest. Coby White and Ayo Dosunmu are expected to fill the void until Caruso gets back on the court. Both […]

Andrew Wiggins To Start On Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (groin) will make his return to the court during Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. This is great news as Wiggins will play for the first time since December 3rd. The 27-year-old has missed 15 straight games due to a groin issue and illness. It's unclear how much he's […]

Jonas Valanciunas Available On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (hand) is available for Saturday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Pelicans are without Larry […]

New York Giants quarterback Davis Webb is expected to make the start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 18. The former third-round pick from 2017 is set to throw his first pass of his NFL career. The Giants are resting their primary starters with the sixth-seed already locked up. This is a tough spot for […]

C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Robert Quinn Activated From Injured Reserve

Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson (abdomen) and defensive end Robert Quinn (knee) has been officially activated from the injured reserve. Both defenders are expected to suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. This is great news for the Eagles who have been without Gardner-Johnson since early December. Both players should […]

Mike Glennon Elevated From Practice Squad

Miami Dolphins quarterback Mike Glennon has been elevated from the practice squad to the active roster. The 33-year-old appears ready if called upon for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Jets. The Dolphins are banged up with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) and Teddy Bridgewater (finger) unlikely to suit up. That means, rookie Skylar Thompson […]

Jalen Hurts To Start In Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) will suit up for the Week 18 matchup against the New York Giants. He has been limited in practice all week and was listed as questionable coming into this game. Despite that, Hurts will be out there for the first time since suffering a sprained right shoulder in Week […]

Lamar Jackson Likely To Play In Postseason

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has already been ruled out for Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old has not practiced in a month and continues to have swelling in his knee. Despite that, the Ravens believe there is a strong chance that Jackson starts during their wild-card game next weekend. […]

Isaiah McKenzie Not A Viable Option For Week 18

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie has struggled to find success over the last few weeks. It won't get any easier for McKenzie against the New England Patriots defense in Week 18. A defensive unit that held McKenzie to five receptions for 44 yards during their meeting earlier in the season. It's worth noting since […]

Gabe Davis A Risky Option Versus Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis is looking to finish his regular season on a positive note. He didn't have the type of season that many expected, but Davis could still finish out the regular season with a bang. Although, it wouldn't be easy against the New England Patriots defense in Week 18. A defensive […]

Stefon Diggs Remains A WR1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs looks to finish his regular season on a strong note. The superstar wideout will get the New England Patriots defense in Week 18. A defensive unit that struggled to contain the 29-year-old during their first meeting of the season. During that game, Diggs hauled in seven of his nine […]

James Cook Has Flex Value For Week 18

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is heading into a matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 18. A defense that he played well against earlier in the season. The rookie back rushed for 64 yards, while hauling in six receptions for 41 during their Week 13 meeting. The 23-year-old rushed for nearly 100 […]

Devin Singletary A Low-End RB2 For Week 18

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary is coming off a 106-yard performance against the Chicago Bears in Week 16. However, he could've lost some momentum with the team hardly playing last week. Regardless, Singletary should be able to produce low-end RB2 value against the New England Patriots in Week 18. A defensive unit that is […]

Larry Nance Jr. Available On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr. (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The 30-year-old is set to return after missing each of the last four games due to right shoulder soreness. Fellow forward Willy Hernangomez (ankle) is also available for Friday's contest. That means, Jaxson Hayes is likely to see […]

Gordon Hayward Officially Out On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. As expected, the veteran forward will sit this game out due to left hamstring soreness. Jalen McDaniels should slide into the starting five with Hayward sidelined. He's averaging 12.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.6 assists over his last five […]

Josh Richardson Available On Friday

San Antonio Spurs forward Josh Richardson (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable coming into this game due to a quad contusion. It sounds like Richardson is good to go and should see an increased role going forward with Devin Vassell (knee) out indefinitely. Both Richardson and […]

Javonte Green To Miss At Least One Week

Chicago Bulls forward Javonte Green (knee) is going to be sidelined at least one week, according to head coach Billy Donovan. The 29-year-old continues to deal with right knee soreness that will force him to miss the next four games. Patrick Williams stands to gain the most fantasy value with Green on the sideline. He […]

Jerami Grant, Jusuf Nurkic Available On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant (quad) and center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) are both available for Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. This is good news for the Blazers who briefly lost Grant mid-game during their last contest due to a quad issue. Nurkic has been dealing with a non-COVID related illness, but it appears […]

Alex Caruso Ruled Out For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He suffered an ankle injury on Wednesday and it appears he's going to miss this game due to the same issue. His absence should mean more playing time for Coby White. He has been providing 15th-round fantasy value […]

Donovan Mitchell To Rest On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (rest) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The star guard has scored 91 points across his last two games. That being said, the organization has decided to give Mitchell a rest day on Friday. Fellow guard Darius Garland (thumb) is listed as questionable, so the […]

Andrew Wiggins Gets Cleared For Practice

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (groin, illness) has been cleared to resume practice on Friday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. This is great news after Wiggins has missed the last 15 games. It sounds like Wiggins could suit up on Saturday, assuming everything goes well during Friday's practice. The expectation is that he'd […]

Austin Reaves Out On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (hamstring) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. This is not good news for the Lakers who are already without Lonnie Walker IV (tailbone) for the time being. Also, Troy Brown Jr. (quad) is considered questionable after getting injured on Wednesday. He'd be an interesting […]

John Wall Unavailable For Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard will sit this game out for rest purposes. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers aren't going to push Wall. His absence should open up more minutes for Terance Mann. […]

Paul George Available On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Paul George (hamstring) is available for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The All-Star forward has been dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but will suit up here. George has scored at least 20 points in each of his last seven games.
