Sammy Watkins Explodes Against Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was a big reason why the Chiefs were able to stick with the Patriots in Sunday's AFC Championship Game. Watkins caught four of his eight targets for 114 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. Those 114 yards were the most Watkins has produced since joining […]

Damien Williams Plays Huge Role on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has made a big name for himself in a short period of time. He's quickly become the lead back in Kansas City and continues to play at a top notch level. Williams rushed 10 times for 33 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Patriots on […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws 3 TDs in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to put up solid stats, but unable to overcome the rough first half in Sunday's loss to the Patriots. Mahomes finished 16-for-31 with 295 passing yards and three touchdowns with zero interceptions. The Chiefs offense had just 65 passing yards in the first half. The Chiefs played […]

Josh Reynolds Surpasses 70 Yards

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds was mostly quiet in Sunday's NFC Championship Game, but was able to still make an impact. Reynolds caught four of his seven targets for 74 yards against the Saints. He's the No. 3 receiver on the team, so you can't expect much more out of Reynolds. It was […]

Robert Woods Finishes with Six Receptions

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was not able to find much yardage, but was able to help his team to victory against the Saints. Woods caught six of his 10 targets for 33 yards on Sunday. It was not the best game from Woods, but he was able to make an impact despite […]

Brandin Cooks Goes For 107 Yards

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks played excellent versus the Saints in the NFC Championship game on Sunday. Cooks caught all seven of his targets for 107 yards, but was unable to find the end zone. He put in work against his former team and was a huge reason why the Rams won that […]

C.J. Anderson Takes On Bigger Role Versus Saints

Los Angeles Rams running back C.J. Anderson took on the role of lead back for the Rams after Todd Gurley was forced to the sideline for most of the game. Anderson rushed 16 times for 44 yards and caught one pass for five yards versus the Saints. He was not able to do much damage, […]

Jared Goff Battles to Victory on Sunday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff started off slow, but was able to rebound against the Saints on Sunday. Goff finished 25-for-40 for 297 passing yards with a touchdown and interception. Goff wasn't perfect, but he was able to come through for his team when they needed him. He'll now get a chance to battle […]

Kenneth Faried Expected to Play on Monday

Houston Rockets forward/center Kenneth Faried is expected to be available for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. However, the Rockets will need to waive or trade a player before game time. The Rockets are banged up and Faried should be a solid fantasy option in just about every format.

Wendell Carter Jr. Has Surgery

Chicago Bulls forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) had successful thumb surgery and will be sidelined the next eight to 12 weeks. Carter can be dropped in basically all formats now. Bobby Portis should benefit the most from the loss of Carter, but Robin Lopez and Jabari Parker will see increased playing time as well.

John Collins is Questionable for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Collins was dealing with ankle soreness, but is now reportedly fighting bronchitis-type symptoms. Omari Spellman is expected to draw the start if Collins is unable to play. Fantasy owners will have to check back for an update closer […]

Trae Young is Questionable for Saturday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. Young is reportedly dealing with flu-like symptoms, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play through the issue. Jeremy Lin would likely start if Young is unable to play. Lin could be a cheap DFS option if he jumps […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Expected to Miss Two Months

Chicago Bulls forward/center Wendell Carter Jr. (thumb) is expected to have surgery and miss 8-12 weeks of game action. The Bulls have not officially said Carter will have surgery, so he's not a must-cut player yet. Bobby Portis and Robin Lopez should benefit the most from the loss of Carter. Jabari Parker is worth a […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable for Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (back) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Embiid is dealing with back tightness, but managed to play 35 minutes on Thursday. The Sixers may elect to rest him on Saturday, so Mike Muscala could be jumping into the starting five. Fantasy owners should check […]

Joakim Noah Won't Play on Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies center Joakim Noah (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Noah has only been playing minutes in the teens, so losing him won't hurt the team too much. Ivan Rabb will gain Noah's playing time as the backup center to Marc Gasol.

Aaron Gordon Could Sit Out on Saturday

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (back) is uncertain for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He tweaked his back during Friday's game versus the Brooklyn Nets. The Magic might take the cautious approach and let Gordon rest on Saturday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to game time.

Chris Paul Could Return Next Week

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul (hamstring) practiced on Friday and could be closer to returning than his two to three week timetable. Head coach Mike D'Antoni didn't expect Paul back for a few more weeks, but Paul could beat that time frame. He's heading in the right direction, so fantasy owners should just hold […]

Anthony Davis Expected to Miss Two Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Anthony Davis (finger) is expected to miss one to two weeks of game action. Davis suffered a left index finger sprain during Friday's contest against the Trail Blazers. It looks like Davis is going to miss at least three games, but it could've been much worse. Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic […]

Allen Crabbe Remains Sidelined on Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Allen Crabbe (knee) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. Crabbe is considered day-to-day due to right knee soreness. However, there has been no word about his improvement, so it's unclear when he's going to return to the lineup. Shabazz Napier will continue to see increased playing time in […]

Brandon Knight Won't Play on Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Brandon Knight (knee) won't play in Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. This will be the fourth straight game that Knight has missed due to left knee soreness. Eric Gordon (knee) is back in the lineup, so Knight lost most of his playing time anyway. He belongs on the waiver wire […]

OG Anunoby Ruled Out on Saturday

Toronto Raptors forward OG Anunoby (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This marks his third straight game that he's missed due to personal reasons. Norman Powell will see increased playing time and C.J. Miles should get more involved as well on Saturday.

Eric Gordon is Probable for Saturday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is probable for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Gordon returned from an eight game absence on Wednesday and scored 20 points in 21 minutes. He should see his playing time increase as the Rockets ease him back into action. He's going to be a decent DFS option […]

Wesley Matthews is Questionable for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (wrist) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The injury bug keeps biting Matthews as he's now dealing with a right wrist sprain. Dorian Finney-Smith and Devin Harris would likely benefit the most if Matthews is unable to play. Fantasy owners should check back on Saturday […]

Stanley Johnson is Probable for Friday

Detroit Pistons forward Stanley Johnson (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Johnson is dealing with right hamstring soreness, so the Pistons may elect to be cautious and hold him out. Johnson has been awful lately, so he belongs on the waiver wire in all leagues.

Tristan Thompson Ruled Out for Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Thompson is dealing with left foot soreness and missed most of December due to a foot issue. Channing Frye and Ante Zizic would soak up extra playing time without Thompson on the court. Zizic could be worth a […]

Ish Smith is Probable on Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Ish Smith (groin) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Smith returned to the lineup on Monday and scored eight points in 19 minutes. He won't be much of a fantasy option going forward. He can be left on the waiver wire in most formats.

Jon Leuer Ruled Out on Friday

Detroit Pistons forward/center Jon Leuer (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. This isn't an injury that should sideline Leuer for longer than one game. Zaza Pachulia (leg) returned to the rotation on Wednesday and played 15 minutes. He should see a majority of Leuer's minutes on Friday.

Mohamed Bamba Expected to Play on Friday

Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba (foot) was able to participate in shootaround and is expected to play in Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He's missed the last four games, but will return as the backup to Nikola Vucevic. That means Khem Birch will become the third string center […]

Tyler Johnson is Available on Friday

Miami Heat guard Tyler Johnson (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as questionable on Thursday after missing practice. However, it appears that the illness is not significant enough to hold him out of Friday's contest. Fantasy owners can expect him back in the lineup for Friday.

Josh Richardson is Questionable on Friday

Miami Heat guard/forward Josh Richardson (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Richardson has only missed one game this season, so it takes a lot to keep him sidelined. The Heat would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Richardson is unable to play. Dwyane Wade and Justise Winslow […]
