Kyle Kuzma Ruled Out for Season Opener

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) has been ruled out for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. He's been dealing with a left foot stress reaction since August. Kuzma has not been cleared for contact work yet, so his timetable is a bit unclear at the moment. He's worth drafting if […]

Kevon Looney Should Be Ready by Thursday

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) was able to get through the team's scrimmage on Sunday. Looney will probably start at center for the regular season opener against the Clippers on Thursday, according to head coach Steve Kerr. The Warriors are a bit banged up at center, so Looney is a safe late round […]

Rodney McGruder is Unsure for Tuesday's Opener

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is unsure if he'll be able to suit up for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Lakers, according to head coach Doc Rivers. It's unclear how much progress he's making, but the Clippers are likely to be cautious at the beginning of the season. Maurice Harkless […]

Alen Smailagic Could Play in Season Opener

Golden State Warriors forward Alen Smailagic (ankle) has a chance to be cleared for Thursday's regular season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was getting in some extra work after practice on Sunday, so that's a good sign moving forward. However, he shouldn't have a big enough role off the bench to make an […]

Isaiah Thomas Unlikely to Play on Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (thumb) is not expected to suit up for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Scott Brooks said "We're going to do what's best for him," so the Wizards will be cautious with him right now. The team isn't going to rush Thomas back, so it's unlikely […]

Domantas Sabonis is Not Close on Contract Extension

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis is not close on a contract extension with the Monday deadline looming. The Pacers are reportedly actively shopping Sabonis to see what they can get. It's unlikely that the Pacers move Sabonis, but it's possibly if the two can't come to an agreement. T.J. Warren, T.J. Leaf, and Goga Bitadze […]

Marquese Chriss Makes Final Cut

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss made the cut for the regular season roster, according to Shams Charania. Chriss played very well in the preseason and the Warriors will need him to open the season. Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) is sidelined, so there will be minutes for Chriss in the rotation. He's more of a deep […]

Blake Griffin Should Be Ready for Regular Season

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) is expected to be fully healed and ready to play in the regular season, according to head coach Dwane Casey. Griffin ended last season with a left knee issue that required surgery. He's been battling a hamstring issue in camp, so hopefully it's not something that lingers. Griffin is […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Participates in Activities on Friday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) was able to participate in a light workout after shootaround on Friday. Cauley-Stein suffered a left foot injury in late September and hasn't done much work since then. He's expected to miss the first few weeks of the season, but it could be longer. It's unclear at the […]

Zion Williamson to Miss A Few Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks, according to Chris Haynes. The exact timetable is unclear, but it doesn't appear to be anything significant. More details about the injury should be known soon, but the Pelicans are going to be cautious here. Derrick Favors and Brandon […]

De'Aaron Fox, Dewayne Dedmon Return to Practice

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) and center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) were able to return for Friday's practice. Fox has been dealing with some back issues, but appears to have put it behind him. He's expected to be fine for the regular season opener. Dedmon was battling an illness, but is set to be […]

Harry Giles Expected to Sit to Start the Season

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) is likely going to be sidelined to begin the regular season. Head coach Luke Walton said that he's going to take his time with Giles and bring him along slowly. Giles already has serious knee issues and Walton doesn't want to put his career in danger. Richaun Holmes should […]

Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard to Rest Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (rest) and center Dwight Howard (rest) are sitting out of Friday's preseason game against the Golden State Warriors. Both players had strong preseasons, but head coach Frank Vogel will let the young guys play in this one. Howard is worth grabbing in the last few rounds of standard drafts, […]

Jonas Valanciunas Begins Conditioning Work

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (knee) is beginning to do some conditioning work this week. It doesn't sound like he's been able to go through a full practice yet, but the Grizzlies are being cautious here. Brandon Clarke has been playing well and is seeing his stock quickly rise in standard leagues. Valanciunas will drop […]

Kevon Looney Expected to Play in Season Opener

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) is expected to be ready to play in Thursday's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a hamstring injury in early October, but returned to practice a few days ago. Looney is expected to share the center minutes with Marquese Chriss to open the season. He'll […]

Victor Oladipo is Progressing Well

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is expected to play some 5-on-5 in the next couple of days. Oladipo is progressing faster than he was expected and could beat his December timetable. He is worth grabbing in the 75-100 range in most drafts, assuming there is an IR spot available. The Pacers are going to […]

Furkan Korkmaz Gets the Start on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz will jump into the starting five for Friday's preseason game against the Washington Wizards. Ben Simmons (back) will sit out, so the backups will get some more run in this one. However, Josh Richardson is looking strong and healthy in a Sixers' uniform. He'll be worth drafting in the middle […]

Travis Kelce is Solid in Victory Over Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce continues to remain a strong and reliable fantasy option each and every week. He caught six of his eight targets for 44 yards in the Week 7 win over Denver. Kelce only has one touchdown this season, but continues to see a high volume of targets. It's unclear […]

Demarcus Robinson Hauls in Three Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was able to haul in a few receptions after a dud last week. Robinson didn't catch anything in the loss to the Colts during Week 6, but got back on the board in this one. He caught three of his five targets for 31 yards in the Week […]

Mecole Hardman Finds the End Zone in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman was able to save his fantasy value with a touchdown in the Week 7 victory over the Denver Broncos. He caught two of his three targets for 28 yards and one touchdown. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) going down did hurt the Chiefs offense a bit in this one. […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls in Huge Touchdown

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill was having a slow game in the Thursday night matchup versus the Broncos, until one play changed it all. Hill caught a 57-yard touchdown from quarterback Matt Moore late in the third quarter. He finished with three receptions for 74 yards and one touchdown in the Week 7 […]

Damien Williams Has Another Awful Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has been basically a ghost on the field since Week 2. He finished with six total rushing yards during Week 6, but managed to have a worse fantasy game the following week. Williams rushed nine times for seven yards in the Week 7 victory over the Broncos on Thursday. […]

LeSean McCoy Goes Over 60 Yards in Win

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was strong in the running game for the team during their Week 7 victory over the Denver Broncos. McCoy rushed 12 times for 64 yards and caught two passes through the air for 12 extra yards on Thursday. McCoy has been clearly rushing better than lead back Damien […]

Matt Moore Plays Well in Limited Time

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played surprisingly well after being thrown into the fire during Thursday's Week 7 matchup versus the Denver Broncos. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) exited in the second quarter after suffering a right knee injury. The veteran Moore was asked to take over and run the offense for the rest of […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well, Exits in Second Quarter

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) was playing well in Thursday's Week 7 matchup against the Denver Broncos. He completed 10 of 11 passing attempts for 76 yards and a touchdown. However, Mahomes was knocked out of the game in the second quarter after suffering a right knee injury. Mahomes was able to walk […]

Travis Kelce Should Be Productive Against Denver

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been arguably the best tight end in fantasy football since last season. He's continuing his strong play this season and should put together another solid game in Week 7. Kelce has a matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday night. Kelce has been heavily involved in the […]

Demarcus Robinson Should Rebound in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught none of his four targets during the Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. Robinson has been fairly reliable as a flex option throughout most of the season. The dud game shouldn't make fantasy owners completely forget about Robinson. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is sidelined for the Week […]

Byron Pringle Has Minimal Value

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle had a huge Week 5 performance where he caught six passes for 103 yards and a touchdown. He saw eight targets during his huge Week 5 game, but then he was targeted just three times during the Week 6 loss to the Texans. It seems like that performance […]

Mecole Hardman Remains WR3 for Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has seen a significant boost in playing time with the team having banged-up receivers. Both Tyreek Hill (shoulder) and Sammy Watkins (hamstring) have missed multiple weeks this season. Luckily, Hill is fine for Week 7, but Watkins remains sidelined once again. Hardman has seen four or more targets […]

Tyreek Hill Should Be Reliable Versus Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill returned last week after missing four games prior to Week 6. Hill caught five of his 10 targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. It's clear that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is going to target Hill early and often. Fantasy […]
