Matt Breida A Low-End RB2 For Week 1

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida has a new organization, but didn't gain much fantasy value. He's listed as the backup to Jordan Howard, but Breida figures to split the carries with him. Sadly, he'll get an unfavorable matchup against the New England Patriots in Week 1. The Pats allowed the least amount of fantasy […]

Jordan Howard Makes For Interesting Option

Miami Dolphins running back Jordan Howard could be an interesting fantasy option with his new organization. He'll likely split up the carries with Matt Breida, but that shouldn't kill his value. Howard had success during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles last season. The Dolphins have Howard listed as their starter, but the New England […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Has Unfavorable Week 1 Matchup

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was named the starter, but his fantasy value will be dependent on their opponent. Sadly, Miami kicks off Week 1 versus the New England Patriots. A team that allowed the fewest amount of fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. The good news is, Fitzpatrick will likely be forced into plenty […]

Devin Asiasi A Low-End TE2 Versus Miami

New England Patriots tight end Devin Asiasi has promising upside, but it remains to be seen how the team decides to use him. Currently, Ryan Izzo is listed as the starting tight end for Week 1 versus the Miami Dolphins. However, he's likely there because of his excellent blocking ability. Asiasi should see some passes […]

N'Keal Harry Has Promising Upside

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry wasn't too effective during his rookie season, but hopefully that will change. He has a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. The Pats don't have many reliable receiving options besides Julian Edelman. Harry could be in for a big year, assuming he can stay healthy. […]

Julian Edelman Has Favorable Week 1 Matchup

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman could be in for a big game to kick off the season. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins, who allowed the fourth most fantasy points to receivers last season. The Pats don't have many reliable and healthy options at receiver, which means Edelman will have […]

Rex Burkhead Could See More Snaps

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead could see an increased workload in their Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Damien Harris (hand) has been placed on the injured reserve. Sony Michel (foot) is likely going to be limited during their first game of the year. Which leaves, James White and Burkhead to do […]

James White Could Be Intriguing Option

New England Patriots running back James White could make for an intriguing fantasy option for Week 1 against the Miami Dolphins. Damien Harris (hand) was placed on injured reserve, which means increased value for the rest of the backs. Sony Michel (foot) is expected to be limited for their first game. That leaves James White […]

Sony Michel A Risky Play For Week 1

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (foot) has only been able to practice for two weeks following offseason surgery. The team is likely going to ease him back into action and have him on a snap count for Week 1 versus the Miami Dolphins. The good news for Michel is that Damien Harris (hand) […]

Cam Newton Has High Upside Versus Dolphins

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was unsurprisingly named starter earlier this week. The 31-year-old has battled injuries the last couple of seasons, but appears to be healthy now. Newton doesn't have great weapons in New England, but should be able to produce as a QB2. He'll have high-end upside as possibly a QB1, assuming […]

Clint Capela Cleared For 5-On-5 Workouts

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (foot) has been cleared to begin doing 5-on-5 workouts. The Hawks are expected to begin group workouts in the end of September, so Capela should be taking part in that. He was traded to Atlanta mid-season, but has not played a game for them yet due to a plantar fasciitis […]

Hornets Attempting To Trade Nicolas Batum

Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum is expected to pick up his $27 million player option for next season. It is far more than he'd get in free agency, so there's no reason for him not to accept the deal. It's the final year of his contract, so the Hornets are likely going to attempt to […]

Danuel House Could Miss Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (personal) was unable to suit up for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is dealing with a personal issue, so it's unclear if he'll suit up next game. Robert Covington (face), Jeff Green, Austin Rivers, and Ben McLemore would benefit if House is out. Covington is the […]

Marvin Williams Retires From Basketball

Milwaukee Bucks forward Marvin Williams has decided to retire from the NBA. The 34-year-old is walking away from the game after 15 productive seasons in the league. "I've been very blessed. God has been very, very good to me," Williams said. He was unable to win a championship before retiring, but put up fairly solid […]

Robert Covington Should Play In Game 4

Houston Rockets forward Robert Covington (face) is expected to be available for Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers. It doesn't sound like his nose is broken and Covington was able to pass the concussion protocol. Danuel House (personal) is questionable for Game 4, which could mean big minutes for Covington. Fantasy owners should check […]

Dion Waiters Doubtful For Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He has played a total of eight minutes in this series, so losing Waiters won't hurt too much. Rajon Rondo looked fantastic last game and would probably take most of his minutes anyway. Rondo could […]

Tyler Herro Downgraded To Questionable

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (hip) has been downgraded to questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as probable, but it appears he has a slight downgrade now. It doesn't sound like anything serious, but fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off just in case. Andre Iguodala and Kendrick […]

Kelly Olynyk Remains Questionable For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was listed as questionable last game and only ended up playing 10 minutes. It sounds like Olynyk is a risky DFS option even if he does suit up for this one. Andre Iguodala would likely benefit […]

Jae Crowder Questionable For Game 5

Miami Heat forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. The Heat are a little banged up right now, so losing Crowder would hurt. Andre Iguodala would likely benefit the most if Crowder is out, but Kendrick Nunn and Derrick Jones could see more chances as well. […]

Serge Ibaka Could Miss Game 6

Toronto Raptors center Serge Ibaka (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot during the media session on Tuesday. He tweaked his left ankle during Game 5 and it's unclear if he'll be available for Wednesday's contest. Ibaka was able to play through the issue, but it appears to be worse now. Chris Boucher and Rondae […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Seen Wearing Walking Boot

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) was seen wearing a walking boot while arriving to the arena for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He is currently listed as questionable, so there probably won't be a better update until closer to tip-off. Khris Middleton would see his usage skyrocket if Antetokounmpo is unable to […]

Nikola Jokic Will Start Monday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) will start in Monday's Game 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He played well during Game 2, but suffered a right wrist sprain along the way. Jokic was a game-time decision heading into this one, but it appears that he's good to play. It doesn't sound like the […]

Nikola Jokic Questionable For Game 3

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 3 matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Jokic played fantastic during Game 2, but sprained his wrist in the process. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline him, but fantasy owners should check back just in case. Mason Plumlee […]

Dion Waiters Exits Early On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Dion Waiters (groin) only played for three minutes during Sunday's Game 2 matchup due to injury. He pulled his left groin and was unable to return to the contest. Sadly, groin injuries have a tendency to linger, so it's unclear if Waiters will be able to suit up for Game 3. […]

JaVale McGee Suffers Injury On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee (ankle) will have an MRI prior to Tuesday's Game 3 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. He suffered a left ankle injury and was only able to play for eight minutes on Sunday. Despite that, head coach Frank Vogel decided to leave Dwight Howard on the bench for the entire […]

Dwight Howard Healthy Scratch During Game 2

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard did not play at all during Sunday's Game 2 matchup versus the Houston Rockets. Head coach Frank Vogel has decided to go small ball instead of taking advantage of the Rockets lack of size. JaVale McGee (ankle) only saw eight minutes of play on Sunday, while Howard didn't play […]

Jae Crowder Uncertain For Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jae Crowder (general soreness) is uncertain for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. Head coach Erik Spoelstra was non-committal on Crowder's status for next game. He took a hard fall during Game 4 and is likely going to be listed as questionable. It's unclear if he'll be limited or not, assuming […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Should Play In Game 5

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) is expected to suit up for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat. He was only able to play 11 minutes during Sunday's contest before exiting with a sprained right ankle. Antetokounmpo was wearing a protective boot after Sunday's contest, so it doesn't sound like he'll be 100 percent […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo To Go Through Workout Sunday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) will go through a workout ahead of Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Miami Heat. Antetokounmpo sprained his right ankle last game, but was able to play through the issue. He is currently listed as questionable for this one, but it sounds like the team will wait and see […]

Kelly Olynyk Remains Uncertain For Game 4

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's Game 4 matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of last game due to a right knee issue. It sounds like the team plans on having Olynyk go through warmups before making a final decision. Derrick Jones would see more playing […]
