Eric Gordon Joins the Starting Five

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will join the starting five for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Gordon has been coming off the bench to begin the season, but the team has decided to give him a chance here. Danuel House will move to the bench, but he shouldn't lose many minutes at all. House […]

D'Angelo Russell Should Play Soon

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is expected to be back in the starting five soon. He tweaked his ankle on Friday and didn't play on Saturday due to soreness. The Warriors are already ridiculously thin and losing Russell has only hurt them more. However, Russell is the Warriors' prized trade chip, assuming they […]

Goga Bitadze Gets The Start on Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Goga Bitadze will jump into the starting five for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Myles Turner (ankle) and Domantas Sabonis (calf) will be watching from the sidelines on Sunday. Bitadze finished with 10 points and nine rebounds in 25 minutes off the bench on Friday. He'll be an extremely attractive DFS […]

JaKarr Sampson Joins Starting Five on Sunday

Indiana Pacers forward Jakarr Sampson will join the starting five for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The Pacers are without Myles Turner (ankle) for a few weeks, so they will have to fill the void by committee. TJ Leaf started last game, but was basically a ghost out there during his eight minutes on […]

Demarcus Robinson is a Desperation Flex

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has seen his fantasy value dip since the team got healthy. He'll split time with Mecole Hardman since Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are both playing now. Robinson caught both his targets for six yards in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. Hardman at least hauled his […]

Mecole Hardman is Difficult to Trust in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been reliable for the team this season, but he'll lose value with Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins back healthy. Hardman caught two passes for 55 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 8. Those were his only two targets of the game because he splits […]

Travis Kelce Can Be Leaned On in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been a reliable option for the team and fantasy owners all season long. He caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. Kelce did not lose targets with veteran Matt Moore at quarterback. There's […]

Sammy Watkins Remains A WR3 Against Minnesota

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins returned last week against the Packers and performed well in the Week 8 loss. He caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in that one. It wasn't a great game, but he performed well with veteran Matt Moore as his quarterback. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has […]

Tyreek Hill Has Tough Matchup in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has three touchdowns and finished with at least 70 yards in each of the last three games. He's been exactly what fantasy owners have needed since coming back from injury in Week 6. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has hurt his value. He'll get a tough matchup […]

LeSean McCoy Should Have Low-End RB2 Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has seen a majority of the carries in the backfield for the team over the last few weeks. Lead back Damien Williams has not been used as much lately, which is making McCoy a better fantasy option. However, McCoy heads into a tough matchup against the Vikings Defense. […]

Damien Williams is Risky Versus Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams finished with a season-high 30 rushing yards in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. The fact 30 yards is his best running performance of the season is discouraging. Veteran LeSean McCoy seems to get most of the touches over the last few weeks. Williams has only […]

Matt Moore Has Low-End Value in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played fairly well in the Week 8 loss to the Packers, but fantasy owners shouldn't lean on the veteran. He completed 24 of 36 passing attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been practicing and has a chance to suit up versus the […]

D'Angelo Russell is Questionable for Saturday

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The Warriors are already horrendously thin, so losing Russell would be awful. Jordan Poole, Alec Burks, and Damion Lee would be asked to pick up big minutes if Russell is sidelined. Fantasy owners should check back closer […]

Draymond Green is Out on Saturday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (finger) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He's dealing with a finger ligament issue and the team will be cautious since it's a back-to-back set. Eric Paschall should see all the minutes he can handle, while Willie Cauley-Stein will get more run off the […]

Dion Waiters Will Be Available on Sunday

Miami Heat guard/forward Dion Waiters is going to be available for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jimmy Butler (foot) and Justise Winslow (back) are both listed as questionable for this one. It's unclear if the Heat have any plans to work Waiters into their rotation, but it's hard to imagine him carrying much fantasy […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Wear Splint on Sunday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (finger) will suit up for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's dealing with a sprained left finger, but will wear a splint on his hand for now. The Knicks have plenty of depth, so Robinson is only averaging around 20 minutes or less per game. However, fantasy owners […]

Tim Frazier Might Sit Out on Saturday

Detroit Pistons guard Tim Frazier (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Reggie Jackson (back) is going to miss significant time, while Derrick Rose (hamstring) is questionable for Saturday as well. Bruce Brown and Langston Galloway could be looking at big minutes if Frazier and Rose sit out.

Will Barton is Doubtful for Saturday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (foot) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Barton was in a walking boot during shootaround, so fantasy owners shouldn't expect him to suit up. Michael Porter Jr. and Malik Beasley will see increased playing time, assuming Barton misses Saturday's game. It's unclear if this foot […]

Jimmy Butler is Listed as Questionable for Sunday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. He recently returned to the team after missing the beginning of the season due to the birth of his child. Butler normally plays through minor issues, so this shouldn't be a problem. Fantasy owners should check back closer […]

Justise Winslow Might Sit Versus Rockets

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Rockets. Winslow is dealing with lower back stiffness, so it's not something that should sideline him for long. Kendrick Nunn would likely start again if Winslow sits out. Tyler Herro would benefit off the bench as well.

Frank Ntilikina Will Start Once Again

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina will start at point guard for Sunday's game against the Sacramento Kings, according to head coach David Fizdale. Both Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) have been sidelined lately, which has given Ntilikina a chance to earn more minutes. He's worth holding in most formats because he'll […]

Chandler Hutchison Expected to Play Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (hamstring) plans to suit up for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He was recently recalled from the G-League, so we'd expect him to have a role in the Bulls rotation. He was dealing with a Grade-3 hamstring strain, but appears to be over that. Fantasy owners can avoid Hutchison […]

Lauri Markkanen Should Be Fine for Sunday

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (side) was able to practice on Saturday and should be fine for Sunday's game. Markkanen only played 25 minutes on Friday and went to the locker room with an unclear left side issue. Thaddeus Young appears to be making a case for more playing time, so that's something to keep […]

Derrick Rose is Questionable Against Nets

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He looked great on Friday versus the Bulls, but apparently tweaked his hamstring. The Pistons are already without Reggie Jackson (back), but will remain cautious with Rose. Tim Frazier and Luke Kennard could be very busy on Saturday.

Reggie Jackson Will Be Sidelined A Month

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been bothered by back soreness since the beginning of the season. After further examination the organization discovered a stress reaction in his lower back. Jackson is expected to miss at least four weeks of action, but it could be longer. Derrick Rose should benefit the most from this, […]

Nerlens Noel Will Start at Center on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Nerlens Noel (foot) will jump into the starting five and draw the start at center on Saturday. Steven Adams (knee) will miss his second straight contest here. Noel was dealing with a minor foot issue, but is fine to play on Saturday. He'll be a strong DFS option since he'll get […]

Steven Adams Ruled Out on Saturday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. This marks the second game in a row that Adams has missed due to a knee contusion. It's hopefully not too serious of an issue and he can get out there next game. Nerlens Noel will […]

Derrick Favors Ruled Out for Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Favors was listed as doubtful going in and hasn't played since October 28. Jahlil Okafor, Jaxson Hayes, and Nicolo Melli will split up the minutes on Saturday. Okafor is looking like a reliable cheap option for […]

Domantas Sabonis Misses Practice on Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (calf) was unable to suit up for practice on Saturday. Sabonis suffered a left calf contusion during Friday's game, but it appears to be minor. The Pacers desperately need Sabonis to play with Myles Turner (ankle) sidelined right now. Goga Bitadze would see all the minutes he can handle if […]

Zach Collins is Ruled Out for Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers forward/center Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's been sidelined since Sunday and continues to deal with a dislocated shoulder. Skal Labissiere, Mario Hezonja and Anthony Tolliver continue to see increased minutes with the Blazers banged up. Labissiere and Hezonja are worth a look […]
