Damien Williams is Held to 23 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) played in Sunday's Week 5 contest versus the Colts for the first time since suiting up in Week 2. It was not a strong first game back for Williams as the Colts Defense was easily able to hold him in check. Williams rushed nine times for 23 […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Over 300 Yards in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to create yards through the air, but it wasn't enough to get them the victory over the Colts in Week 5.

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) misses another practice on Saturday. Whiteside tweaked his left ankle during Tuesday's practice and hasn't done any work since then. The Blazers don't believe the injury is serious, but they want to be cautious here. It appears Whiteside is going to be fine after he gets in some […]

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) won't play in Sunday's preseason contest against Maccabi Haifa. Valanciunas has missed a few days of practice this week due to foot soreness.

Kelly Oubre Won't Return This Week

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is without a timetable and will be re-evaluated in roughly a week. Oubre is dealing with right wrist tendinitis, but has been a limited participant during training camp. He was a strong contributor for the Suns down the stretch of the season last year. Mikal Bridges (knee) is […]

Bridges has been dealing with knee discomfort since the beginning of training camp. The Suns are going to be cautious with Bridges, so he could end up missing the beginning of the regular season. Kelly […]

Aron Baynes Underwent Procedure on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (nose) underwent a corrective procedure after suffering an injury to his nose during Thursday's practice. The team will likely have Baynes wear a mask, but he's done that before. He will be re-evaluated on Sunday, but this doesn't sound like a major issue. However, Baynes won't have much fantasy value […]

Patty Mills Won't Play in Saturday's Preseason Contest

San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills (rest) won't play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Marco Belinelli, DeMarre Carroll and Trey Lyles will sit this one out as well.

Travis Kelce Has Excellent Matchup Versus Colts

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could be looking at an enormous game against the Colts in Week 5. Kelce has hauled in at least seven receptions for 85 yards or more in each of the last three games. He's heading into a matchup against the Colts who have allowed the most receptions to […]

Byron Pringle Could Have Value in Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle has been fairly quiet through the first four games of the regular season. He has two receptions for 20 yards in the first four weeks, but that could change in Week 5. Star receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) remains out, and Sammy Watkins (shoulder, hamstring) is questionable versus the […]

Demarcus Robinson Could Be Targeted Heavily on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could end up being a big time playmaker in Sunday's Week 5 matchup with the Colts. Robinson saw nine targets, but only was able to haul in four of them for 35 yards last week. Clearly, it wasn't a great week for Robinson, but he was thrown at […]

Mecole Hardman Has Solid Upside Versus Colts

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman had a down week during the Week 4 victory over the Detroit Lions, but should bounce back here. Hardman caught two of his five targets for nine yards last week. However, Hardman put up strong value the weeks prior, so fantasy owners shouldn't give up on him. Sammy […]

Sammy Watkins Drops to WR3 Option for Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Colts. Watkins was a limited participant in practice on Friday, so that's not a good sign for his fantasy value. Watkins had an impressive Week 1 performance, but has not been able to live up to that […]

Darwin Thompson Remains Non-Existent

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson has seen four attempts for nine yards during the first four games of the season. Starting running back Damien Williams (knee) is questionable for Sunday, but has practiced all week. Both LeSean McCoy and Darrel Williams are ahead of Thompson on the depth chart. Thompson is buried so […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams could be looking at a significant loss of fantasy value in Week 5 versus the Colts.

LeSean McCoy is Low-End RB2 for Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) has been removed from the Chiefs' final injury report on Friday. McCoy appears to have put that minor ankle injury behind him, and is ready to play in Sunday's contest against the Colts.

Damien Williams Has RB2 Upside

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Colts. Head coach Andy Reid said that the plan was Williams would play in Sunday's contest. He was able to fully practice throughout the week, so it's a bit surprising to see Williams still listed as […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Bounce Back Against Colts

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did not throw a touchdown in the victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 4. It was the first game this season that Mahomes has been unable to throw at least one touchdown. He completed 24 of 42 passes for 315 passing yards, but fantasy owners expected more from […]

Jarrett Allen Will Start at Center on Friday

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen will be given the start at center for Friday's preseason contest. Allen has been playing with the starters over DeAndre Jordan in practice. He's shown flashes of being a capable and reliable starting center in the NBA. Head coach Kenny Atkinson may mix it up throughout the season, but it […]

Pascal Siakam Seeking a Maximum Extension

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam is seeking a maximum contract extension from the organization, according to Shams Charania. Siakam averaged 16.9 points last season, which is a huge increase from the 7.3 points per game he average the season prior. He was also named the league's Most Improved Player, which is not surprising. He averaged […]

Avery Bradley Working Out With the Starters

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has been working out with the starters during practice. Bradley normally plays shooting guard, but may shift to point guard this season. Bradley is a great defensive guard, so that alone may give him the edge in the competition. He's competing with veteran guard Rajon Rondo for the starting […]

Aaron Holiday Likely to Win Backup Guard Job

Indiana Pacers guard Aaron Holiday has a good shot at serving as the backup point guard for this upcoming season. Darren Collison (retirement) and Cory Joseph (free agency) are both gone, so that opens up playing time for Holiday. Victor Oladipo (knee) is out as well, so the Pacers are going to be looking for […]

Markelle Fultz Will Play in Preseason Opener

Orlando Magic point guard Markelle Fultz is going to play in Saturday's preseason opener against the San Antonio Spurs, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He is reportedly healthy now and doing impressive stuff during camp. Fantasy owners should be watching Fultz closely during the preseason. He could quickly skyrocket his fantasy value, assuming he's […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Does Not Practice on Friday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (tailbone) was not able to suit up for Friday's practice. Carter has been battling an ankle injury and tailbone issue in training camp. He missed most of his rookie season due to thumb surgery and a core muscle injury. Carter has strong upside, assuming he's able to stay healthy. […]

Damian Lillard Sits Out of Practice

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (hamstring) was not able to suit up for practice on Friday. Lillard has be known for having some hamstring issues in the past. However, the Blazers don't believe this injury is serious. They may give Lillard a few days off to rest. Fantasy owners don't need to panic […]

Zach Collins Misses Practice on Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Zach Collins (finger) was not able to practice on Friday, but hopefully won't be sidelined long. The Blazers are a little banged up down low with Hassan Whiteside (ankle) sitting out a few practices this week. They haven't released the details on the injury, so fantasy owners will have to wait.
