Elfrid Payton is Questionable for Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Elfrid Payton (finger) is questionable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Payton was listed as probable, but is now considered a game-time decision. Payton is worth grabbing in fantasy leagues if he's available on the waiver wire. Jrue Holiday would be forced into more action if Payton sits out on […]

Kyle Lowry Ruled Out for Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry (back) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Lowry has missed seven of the last eight games, but head coach Nick Nurse hopes that Lowry returns soon. Fred Vanvleet will continue drawing starts and is a solid DFS option while in the starting five.

Devin Booker Will Play on Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (back) is available for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. However, head coach Igor Kokoskov said Booker is a game-time decision, so fantasy owners need to check back before tip-off. It would likely be a committee approach to fill the void if Booker is out.

Jeff Teague, Derrick Rose Doubtful on Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards Jeff Teague (ankle) and Derrick Rose (ankle) are listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Tyus Jones is going to see heavy minutes with both of them sidelined. He scored 12 points with five assists, four rebounds and five steals on Sunday. Jones is going to be a […]

Daniel Hamilton Will Start on Monday

Atlanta Hawks guard Daniel Hamilton will draw the start against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. Kent Bazemore (ankle) is unable to play, so Hamilton will draw the start. This will be Hamilton's first start of the season and his eighth appearance. He's been fantastic in the G-League and is worth keeping an eye on in […]

Emmanuel Mudiay is Questionable on Tuesday

New York Knicks guard Emmanuel Mudiay (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Mudiay said he'd be ready to play, but he still remains listed as questionable. Trey Burke and Frank Ntilikina would see increased playing time if Mudiay is unable to play. Burke is worth a look in deep leagues right […]

Enes Kanter is Questionable Against Nuggets

New York Knicks center Enes Kanter (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Kanter said he's closer to probable, but complained about his back after their last game. Luke Kornet would see increased playing time and a higher usage if Kanter sits out.

Kyle Rudolph is Non-Factor in Loss

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was seemingly unstoppable last week, but couldn't do much of anything against the Bears in Week 17. Rudolph caught four of his five targets for 19 yards and was unable to find the end zone. Rudolph managed to have his second most yards (636) of his career, but it […]

Adam Thielen Silenced by Bears

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen was not able to do much of anything versus the Chicago Bears in Week 17. Thielen caught three of his four targets for 38 yards and was unable to find the end zone. He finished the season with 113 receptions, 1,373 yards, and nine touchdowns. All of those are […]

Stefon Diggs Finishes Season on A Strong Note

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs was able to finish out his 2018 season on a strong note despite losing a must-win game versus Chicago. Diggs caught eight of his 10 targets for 47 yards and a touchdown. Diggs set a career-high in receptions with 102 this season. He was also able to pass the […]

Dalvin Cook is Slowed Down in Week 17

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook closes out his injury prone 2018 season on a disappointing note. Cook rushed 11 times for 39 yards and caught four passes for 21 yards in the 24-10 loss to the Bears. Cook's durability is going to be the biggest concern going forward. He has the potential to be […]

Kirk Cousins Disappoints Against Chicago

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins struggled to get much done in a must-win game versus Chicago in Week 17. Cousins finished 20-for-33 with 132 passing yards and a touchdown in the 24-10 loss. Cousins had a fairly solid statistical season, throwing for 4,298 yards and 30 touchdowns with a 70 percent completion rating. His first […]

Travis Kelce Hauls in Five Receptions in Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a fairly slow game, but that's because fantasy owners usually always expect big games from Kelce. He caught five of his nine targets for 62 yards and was unable to find the end zone. His nine targets led the Chiefs, but he was just unable to haul […]

Tyreek Hill Goes Over 100 Yards Against Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill put together a solid game in Week 17 after two dud performances the two weeks prior. Hill caught five of his seven targets for 101 yards and a touchdown in the 35-3 victory. Hill also had one rushing attempt for 15 yards and a touchdown. He's been bothered […]

Damien Williams Scores TD in Victory over Raiders

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams was able to find the end zone once again in Week 17 versus the Oakland Raiders. Williams rushed 11 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in the 35-3 win. Williams was rested late in the game after it was clearly already over, otherwise he would've had better […]

Patrick Mahomes Plays Well in Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes did not have an explosive fantasy performance, but he was able to get the job done against the Raiders. Mahomes finished 14-for-24 with 281 passing yards and two touchdowns with one interception. Mahomes sat out in the fourth quarter, otherwise his stats would've been better. Mahomes finished the regular […]

Derrick Rose is Unlikely to Play on Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Derrick Rose (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Rose and Jeff Teague (ankle) are likely both going to be sitting out on Sunday. Rose has a history of ankle issues, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Wolves play it safe. Tyus Jones is going […]

Jeff Teague is Doubtful for Sunday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Jeff Teague (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Teague has missed the last six games due to left ankle inflammation, but appears to be getting closer to a return. Derrick Rose (ankle) is also doubtful for Sunday, so Tyus Jones is going to be a solid […]

Wesley Matthews Ruled Out on Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Matthews played on Wednesday, but was limited and didn't play like himself. Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is expected to be active for this contest, so J.J. Barea will have short-term value once again until Matthews returns.

Markieff Morris is Doubtful for Friday

Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (back) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It appears Morris is dealing with some back stiffness and the Wizards are likely going to rest him for this contest. That should mean Jeff Green is forced into heavy minutes and Sam Dekker gets extra time on […]

Victor Oladipo Expected to Be Fine for Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (shoulder) tweaked his shoulder on Wednesday and did not go through parts of Thursday's practice. However, head coach Nate McMillan expects Oladipo to be ready for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time, but he should be fine for Friday's contest.

Tristan Thompson Listed as Out on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (foot) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Thompson has been sidelined since early December, but did return to practice on Thursday. It appears he is not ready for game action yet, but Thompson is very close. Larry Nance is expected to lose playing time once […]

Rajon Rondo Will Miss One Month

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (hand) will undergo surgery on his right hand and is expected to miss one month of game action. Rondo suffered a right finger sprain earlier in the week, but thought he could play through it. That is not the case and Rondo will now require surgery that will forced […]

Aaron Gordon is Probable for Friday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (illness) was reportedly sick on Thursday, but is expected to play in Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors, according to head coach Steve Clifford. Gordon has been in a slump lately, but maybe once he shakes off this illness he will perform better. Fantasy owners shouldn't have anything to worry […]

John Wall, Bradley Beal Expected to Play on Friday

Washington Wizards guards John Wall (rest) and Bradley Beal (illness) did not participate in Friday's shootaround, but are both expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It doesn't sound like either player is in danger of sitting out at all. Fantasy owners are safe to plug them into their fantasy lineups […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Expected to Play on Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is active for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Smith has missed the last six games, so this is great news for the Mavs. J.J. Barea will lose some playing time with Smith returning. Luka Doncic won't be asked to do […]

Hassan Whiteside is Probable on Friday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (hip) was able to participate in shootaround and is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Whiteside played well on Wednesday and looked fine despite dealing with a left hip pointer issue. Fantasy owners shouldn't have anything to worry about on Friday.

Frank Ntilikina is Expected to Play on Thursday

New York Knicks guard Frank Ntilikina is expected to rejoin the rotation for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, according to head coach David Fizdale. Ntilikina did not play on Christmas, but should resume his normal role on Thursday. However, his normal role is likely just minutes in the teens. He's not worth looking at […]

Tyson Chandler is Listed as Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers center Tyson Chandler (back) is being listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Chandler played through his back issue on Christmas, but only saw 16 minutes on the floor. JaVale McGee (illness) is most likely sitting out again, so Ivica Zubac continues to benefit from injuries. Zubac is an […]

Otto Porter Continues to Sit Out

Washington Wizards forward Otto Porter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. It will be the ninth game in a row that Porter has missed due to a knee issue. Jeff Green will continue to draw starts in his place while Trevor Ariza is forced into playing heavy minutes.
