LeSean McCoy Has Flex Appeal in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has put together somewhat of a rollercoaster season thus far in fantasy leagues. It seems like McCoy's fantasy value changes dramatically each week. He saw almost all the carries on the ground during their Week 6 loss to the Houston Texans. However, McCoy saw no carries in the […]

Damien Williams is Tough to Trust in Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams could be a risky option in standard fantasy leagues against the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Williams saw just one carry for six yards in the loss last week. Veteran LeSean McCoy has been doing most of the work on the ground lately. Williams could see some chances […]

Patrick Mahomes Has Strong Matchup Versus Broncos

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a strong matchup ahead of him against the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Mahomes hasn't been as impressive the last three weeks, but should rebound in the Thursday night matchup in Denver. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect a four touchdown game, but having Tyreek Hill back is a huge […]

Tomas Satoransky Named Opening Night Starter

Chicago Bulls guard Tomas Satoransky has been named the starting point guard for the regular season opener, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Dunn was the favorite to win the job in camp, but that quickly faded. Boylen likes Dunn's defense off the bench, so that's how the team will begin the season. Satoransky is […]

Chris Paul Won't Play Against Grizzlies

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Chris Paul (rest) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is just a regular rest day for the veteran point guard. It's unclear how the Thunder plan on working Paul into their gameplan, so fantasy owners should draft him with caution. There is a good chance that […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Fine for Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is available for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Smith has been sidelined due to back spasms, but appears ready to play now. Head coach David Fizdale wants to see how Smith plays as the starting point guard. He's a late round option in most formats […]

Mitchell Robinson is Coming Off the Bench Wednesday

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson will come off the bench with the second unit in Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Robinson got into foul trouble last game, so the Knicks will give Bobby Portis a chance with the starting five. Robinson should be locked as the starting center, but the Knicks probably […]

Terry Rozier Won't Play Against Pistons

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (knee) won't play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Detroit Pistons. He's dealing with a left knee issue, but most likely is just a precautionary move. Devonte Graham and Dwayne Bacon should see more minutes without Rozier. He should be fine for the regular season and is worth targeting in […]

Jalen Brunson Might Not Play Against Clippers

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He wasn't able to play in Monday's contest, so the Mavs might be just playing it safe here. There is a good chance that he doesn't play on Thursday, but should be fine for the regular […]

Luke Kennard, Derrick Rose Out on Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guards Luke Kennard (rest) and Derrick Rose (rest) will not suit up for Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. This appears to be a normal rest game for them so the bench players can get some extra minutes. Both players should have late round value in fantasy leagues. However, the injury history […]

Blake Griffin Could Sit for Rest of Preseason

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) won't suit up for Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Griffin is dealing with a minor hamstring issue, but doesn't believe it will cost him time in the regular season. The Pistons are going to be careful with Griffin, especially because of his injury history. He has solid […]

Markieff Morris Will Suit Up Against Hornets

Detroit Pistons forward Markieff Morris (illness) will play in Wednesday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Morris has been dealing with bronchitis, but appears to be over it now. Blake Griffin (hamstring) is sidelined for this one, so Christian Wood and Morris will get plenty of run in this game. Morris could be an interesting […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Should be Fine for Wednesday

New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. He missed the last two preseason contests due to a lower back strain. He's battling with Elfrid Payton and Frank Ntilikina for minutes at the guard position. This might be a tough situation for standard […]

Frank Ntilikina is Able to Practice on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina (groin) was able to get through practice on Tuesday. Ntilikina is listed as probable for Wednesday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. He did not practice on Monday due to a sore groin, but downplayed the severity of the injury. It appears he's actually fine, but will have to […]

Nikola Vucevic, Terrence Ross Scrimmage on Tuesday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) and guard Terrence Ross (ankle) were able to go through a team scrimmage on Tuesday. Both players missed Sunday's preseason contest due to minor ankle injuries. The fact they were able to get through the scrimmage means they should be fine in a few days. Vucevic and Ross should […]

Evan Fournier Played in Tuesday's Scrimmage

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) was able to participate in some of Tuesday's scrimmage. Fournier admitted that he was very sore after going through the scrimmage on Tuesday. There is a good chance that the Magic have Fournier sit out for the rest of the preseason. He'll have late round value in most standard […]

Kevin Huerter Ruled Out for Wednesday's Preseason Game

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason game against the New York Knicks. Huerter has been dealing with knee soreness throughout the preseason. However, he expects to be ready to play for the regular season opener. He's not an attractive option in most standard leagues, but Huerter has value […]

Blake Griffin is Dealing with Hamstring Issues

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Griffin is already working his way back from left knee surgery, but has this to worry about now. There is a good chance that the Pistons just play it safe and have Griffin rest for the remainder […]

Kevon Looney is Ruled Out for Rest of Preseason

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of the preseason. However, Looney wants to be ready to play in the regular season opener on October 24. Looney has been dealing with a hamstring issue and sometimes those have a tendency to linger. He was able to get through […]

Anthony Davis Goes Through Practice on Tuesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (thumb) was able to get through a full practice on Tuesday. Davis wore a wrap on his right thumb, but felt fine after Tuesday's practice. Davis is hopeful to be cleared for Wednesday's preseason game against the Golden State Warriors. It seems like Davis will be fine for the […]

Darius Garland Returns on Tuesday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) will suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Boston Celtics. Garland missed Saturday's preseason game due to a minor ankle injury. The Cavs will monitor him closely as they want to be cautious with their rookie. It sounds like Garland will be fine for the regular season opener. […]

Andre Drummond, Blake Griffin Out on Tuesday

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond (rest) and forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) will not suit up for Tuesday's preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Both players should be fine for the regular season, but the Pistons don't want to push them in the preseason. Thon Maker and Christian Wood will see more minutes in Tuesday's contest. […]

Jordan Bell Will Make Preseason Debut Tuesday

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jordan Bell (calf) will be available for Tuesday's preseason game against the Indiana Pacers. Bell has been dealing with a left calf issue, but the Wolves should be able to get him into the game on Tuesday. However, Bell is going to have limited value even when healthy. He's worth looking at […]

De'Aaron Fox Won't Play in Wednesday's Exhibition

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) won't play in Wednesday's exhibition versus the Melbourne United. Fox said his back was a little tight, so the team will hold him out of this meaningless game. However, Fox is expected to be fine for the regular season opener. He has great upside and makes for an […]

Devin Booker Will Play in Preseason Contest Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker will suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Denver Nuggets. Booker sat out the last two preseason games due to rest, but he'll get in some minutes here. It's unclear how much Booker is going to play in this one. He'll have great upside in fantasy leagues, but may […]

Grayson Allen Will Start in Monday's Contest

Memphis Grizzlies guard Grayson Allen will jump into the starting five for Monday's preseason game against the Charlotte Hornets. Dillon Brooks normally starts, but head coach Taylor Jenkins is making a switch here. Allen has played well as the sixth man in the preseason, but we'll see how he plays in the starting five. Fantasy […]

Daniel Theis Could Begin the Season as Starter

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis may begin the regular season as the starting center in Boston. Head coach Brad Stevens is not ready to commit to a starting center just yet. Theis appears to be the favorite, but Robert Williams and Enes Kanter will see time as well. The Celtics like the idea of Kanter […]

Jonas Valanciunas Wants to Play in Season Opener

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (ankle) said his goal is to be ready for the regular season opener against the Miami Heat on October 23. Valanciunas has been shut down for the preseason, but believes he'll be ready to start the season. He could move down a few spots on draft boards because it's unclear […]

Kelly Olynyk is Not Suiting Up Against Hawks

Miami Heat forward Kelly Olynyk (knee) remains out for Monday's preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks. Olynyk has not been through a full practice yet and won't be cleared to play until he's able to do that. The Heat are hopeful to have Olynyk ready for opening day, but we'll see if that happens. Otherwise, […]

Evan Turner Should Be Available on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Evan Turner (Achilles) is expected to play during Monday's preseason game against the Miami Heat. He's been dealing with left Achilles pain that has cost him most of the preseason. Turner should see decent backup minutes at guard and forward this season off the bench. He'll be a better option in deep […]
