Wendell Carter Jr. Will Start on Thursday

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. will draw the start at center in Thursday's regular season opener against the 76ers. It didn't take long at all for Carter to take over as the starting center in Chicago. It'll be interesting to see how to minutes are split up between Carter and Robin Lopez. He'll be […]

Steven Adams is Questionable for Season Opener

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Golden State Warriors. Adams is reportedly dealing with lower back stiffness, but it doesn't sound too serious. There is a good chance that Adams is able to play through the issue. Fantasy owners should get a better […]

Larry Nance Jr. Signs Extension with Cavs

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Larry Nance Jr. has reportedly signed a contract extension. The deal is a four-year $45 million extension to stay in Cleveland. This shows that the Cavs clearly want Nance to be part of their future. He should see plenty of minutes and be heavily utilized in their offense this season. Nance is […]

Suns Waive Shaquille Harrison

Phoenix Suns guard Shaquille Harrison has been waived, according to Shams Charania. Isaiah Canaan, De'Anthony Melton, and Elie Okobo will fight for backup minutes behind Devin Booker. Okobo and Mason have potential to see increased roles as the season goes on. Both players could be worth stashing in certain formats, but likely won't have huge […]

Rudy Gay is On Track to Play Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Rudy Gay (heel) participated in Monday's practice and is heading in the right direction for Wednesday's regular season opener. Gay missed the preseason finale due to a sore right heel. The Spurs were likely holding out Gay as a precaution, but he's back at practice which is a great sign. Fantasy […]

Dion Waiters is Sidelined for Wednesday's Season Opener

Miami Heat guard Dion Waiters (ankle) is not going to be active for Wednesday's regular season opener against the Orlando Magic. Waiters had ankle and foot surgery back in January, but doesn't seem to have made much progress. Wayne Ellington (ankle) could be sidelined on Wednesday as well. That means Josh Richardson will be looking […]

Mike Muscala Won't Play in Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Mike Muscala (ankle) has been ruled out of Tuesday's regular season opener against the Boston Celtics. This was not surprising after seeing that Muscala was highly questionable on Monday. We could see Brown use a smaller lineup against the Celtics. T.J. McConnell could end up benefiting the most with Muscala sidelined for […]

Markelle Fultz Named Starting Shooting Guard

Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz has been named the starting shooting guard for Tuesday's season opener, according to head coach Brett Brown. It sounds like Brown has opted to use J.J. Redick in the second half in place of Fultz. It's going to be interesting to see what the 76ers decide to do with Fultz. […]

Jamal Crawford Signs with Suns

Free-agent guard Jamal Crawford has agreed to a deal with the Phoenix Suns. It's a one-year deal and Crawford will receive the veteran's minimum. Crawford is 38 years old, but somehow he's still able to shoot like a 20-year-old rookie. His defense has taken a dip lately, but Crawford never has an issue shooting the […]

Russell Westbrook Will Sit Out Tuesday

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook (knee) will not play in the regular season opener against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Westbrook is still coming back from surgery and was listed as doubtful for this game last week. It's not surprising to see Westbrook sitting this one out. There is still a small […]

Cooper Kupp Targeted Once, Exits Game Early

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) was held without a catch on one target in the 23-20 victory over the Denver Broncos. Kupp injured his knee in the first half, but surprisingly came back for the second half. After the game Kupp was diagnosed with a MCL sprain, according to Adam Schefter. This […]

Brandin Cooks is Quiet in Victory

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks was a disappointment to fantasy owners on Sunday. He caught just two receptions for 53 yards in the 23-20 victory over the Denver Broncos on Sunday. The Rams were unable to get their passing attack going for the second straight week. Cooper Kupp (knee) watched from the sideline, […]

Robert Woods Goes Over 100 Yards in Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has become one of the more reliable fantasy receivers this season. Woods has been solid every week besides his Week 1 dud versus Oakland. He caught seven passes for 109 yards against the Broncos in Week 6. Cooper Kupp (knee) did nothing, so Woods saw a boost in […]

Todd Gurley Continues to Dominate

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has been basically unstoppable this season, and the Broncos had no answer for him in Week 6. Gurley rushed 28 times for 208 yards and two touchdowns on Sunday. Gurley set a new career high in rushing yards against a Broncos defense that got destroyed by Isaiah Crowell […]

Jared Goff is Held Scoreless

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff had his worst game of the season against the Denver Broncos in Week 6. Goff went 14-for-28 with 201 passing yards and zero touchdowns and one interception. This was the first time that Goff has not thrown at least one touchdown in a game this season. Goff has thrown […]

Harrison Butker Knocks Down Four Field Goals

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker had an incredible fantasy day in the 43-40 loss to the Patriots. Butker kicked his season-high three field goals last week against Jacksonville, but already beat that against New England. Butker hit all four of his field goal attempts on Sunday. He managed to knock down two field goals […]

Sammy Watkins is Held to Two Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins was held to just two receptions for 18 yards in the 43-40 loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Watkins did not record a catch until the third quarter. It was all Tyreek Hill in this one, so Travis Kelce and Watkins just watched the show. Watkins still has […]

Travis Kelce Hauls in Five Receptions

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce did most his work in the first half against the Patriots on Sunday. Kelce did not record a catch in the second half, but it was all Tyreek Hill for this game. Kelce caught five passes for 61 yards, but did not find the end zone in this […]

Tyreek Hill Performs Phenomenally Versus Pats

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill had an absolutely phenomenal game against the New England Patriots in Week 6. Hill caught seven passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns. He was targeted 12 times, so it could've been an even bigger game for Hill if that's imaginable. He scored a 75-yard touchdown to tie […]

Kareem Hunt is Solid on Both Ends Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was impressive in both the running game and passing attack on Sunday. Hunt rushed 10 times for 80 yards and caught five passes for 105 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Patriots. Hunt saw his lowest amount of rushing attempts this season, but managed to […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Four TDs Against Patriots

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes bounced back on Sunday after not throwing a single touchdown in Week 5. Mahomes went 23-for-36 with 352 passing yards and four touchdowns with two interceptions against the Patriots on Sunday. Mahomes struggled in the first half, but came alive in the second half. He's thrown for over 300 […]

O.J. Howard Grabs TD in Loss

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard returned in Week 6 after suffering an MCL sprain in Week 4. Howard was not limited at all and caught all four of his targets for 62 yards and a touchdown. Howard continues to be productive despite only seeing four targets or less in five of the six […]

Cameron Brate Scores TD in Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate was able to keep his touchdown streak alive, but he didn't see much action in Week 6. Brate caught one pass for a 15-yard touchdown in the 34-29 loss to the Falcons on Sunday. His fantasy value is only going to decrease with O.J. Howard back healthy and […]

Ronald Jones II Disappoints Again

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Ronald Jones II was expected to see a bigger role in the backfield after the bye week, but that was not the case. Jones saw just one carry for three yards and three receptions for 16 yards. Peyton Barber is still the lead back in Tampa Bay, so until that […]

Peyton Barber Has Productive Game Versus Atlanta

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was becoming a drop candidate in most leagues after failing to produce over the first four weeks of the regular season. However, Barber finally had some success against the Falcons in Week 6. Barber rushed 13 times for 82 yards and caught four passes for 24 yards and […]

Delon Wright Misses Practice on Sunday

Toronto Raptors guard Delon Wright (thigh) did not play in the preseason finale on Thursday and missed practice on Sunday. Wright hurt his thigh on Wednesday and is apparently still struggling with the injury. Head coach Nick Nurse said that the team will know more information on Monday. Fred Vanvleet would see an increase in […]

Terrence Ross is Back at Practice

Orlando Magic guard/forward Terrence Ross (foot) is back at practice, but could begin the regular season on a minutes limit. Ross has been battling a sore left foot basically the entire preseason. He did play in the preseason finale on Friday, but might be limited to begin the season. Ross isn't worth owning in most […]

Jonathon Simmons Could Have Minutes Limit

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) could have his minutes limited to begin the regular season. Simmons missed some time during the preseason and had wrist surgery during the offseason. However, the Magic expect Simmons to be ready by the season opener. Head coach Steve Clifford wants Simmons to play at the guard spots this […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Returns to Practice on Sunday

New York Knicks guard/forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (wrist) was forced to exit early in Friday's preseason finale, but returned to practice on Sunday. The Knicks are going to be cautious with him, but it doesn't sound like he's going to miss any games. THJ should have plenty of playing time this season since the Knicks […]

Terrance Ferguson Returns to Practice

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Terrance Ferguson (concussion) returned to practice on Sunday. He should be ready to go for the regular season opener after clearing the baseline concussion protocol tests. Ferguson could begin the season in the starting five, but that doesn't automatically mean he has fantasy value. He could have short-term value, but once […]
