Peyton Barber Is An RB2 Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber had arguably his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Bengals. Barber rushed 19 times for 85 yards and one touchdown. However, he heads into a matchup against Carolina who has allowed the fifth fewest points to running backs this season, according to Yahoo. Barber […]

Isaiah Canaan Likely to Return on Friday

James Harden is Doubtful on Friday

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. It was reported on Thursday that Harden is targeting a return on Saturday.

Devin Booker is Probable on Friday

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Booker was listed as questionable after missing three games in a row. However, Booker has been upgraded to probable, so this is a great sign for fantasy owners. Josh Jackson was starting for Booker, but he'll likely move back […]

Jonathon Simmons is Questionable on Friday

Orlando Magic guard/forward Jonathon Simmons (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Simmons has been awful this season, shooting 28.8 percent from the floor and 19 percent from beyond the arc. His playing time was supposed to increase this season, but he belongs on the waiver wire right now. Terrence Ross […]

Derrick Favors is Listed as Probable on Friday

Utah Jazz forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Favors was not able to play on Sunday, but did suit up for Wednesday's game against Minnesota. He finished with 14 points and eight rebounds in 28 minutes on Wednesday. Favors does not have great fantasy value, especially […]

Jae Crowder Listed as Probable on Friday

Utah Jazz forward Jae Crowder (ankle) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Crowder was listed as probable on Wednesday and dropped 18 points in 30 minutes.

Tyus Jones is Available Against Warriors

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Tyus Jones (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Jeff Teague (knee) has been officially ruled out, so Jones and Derrick Rose will benefit on Friday. However, Rose is coming off a 50-point performance and should see most of the playing time. Jones has lost most of his […]

Jeff Teague Won't Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Head coach Tom Thibodeau has ruled out Teague, but he remains day-to-day with a bruised left knee. Tyus Jones (foot) will return on Friday, so he should jump back into the rotation. However, Derrick Rose has […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (rest) will return to the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Butler sat out of Wednesday's contest due to general soreness. It's unclear whether Butler actually has soreness or if he's just frustrated that the Wolves have not traded him yet. Josh Okogie will return to […]

Dwyane Wade, Tyler Johnson Miss Practice on Friday

Miami Heat guards Dwyane Wade (head) and Tyler Johnson (illness) did not participate in shootaround on Friday. However, head coach Erik Spoelstra expects both players to be ready for Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Neither player has much fantasy value outside of deeper leagues. Fantasy owners should expect both players to be ready by […]

Hassan Whiteside Expected to Play on Saturday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (head) is expected to play on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. He was not able to practice on Thursday, but is still on track to play in Saturday's contest. Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo would see increased playing time if Whiteside does sit out. Olynyk would be the better fantasy […]

Travis Kelce Should Crush Cleveland in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been one of the most reliable tight ends this season. Kelce has caught at least five passes in each week besides Week 1. He has a significant role in the Chiefs passing attack. The Browns secondary is average when it comes to covering tight ends. Kelce should […]

Sammy Watkins is Strong WR2 Against Browns

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins posted 107 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Broncos in Week 8. Tyreek Hill (groin) could be limited this week, which would mean big numbers for Watkins. The Browns have allowed the fifth most points to receivers this season, according to Yahoo. Watkins has proven himself to […]

Tyreek Hill A WR1 for Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (groin) was downgraded to limited on Thursday. Hill has been dealing with a groin issue, but it doesn't sound like that is going to keep him out of this Week 9 matchup. Hill is facing a Browns defense that has allowed the fifth most receiving yards to receivers […]

Kareem Hunt Has Fantastic Matchup in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt has 10 touchdowns through eight games this season. He's seemingly finding the end zone each and every week.

Patrick Mahomes Unlikely to be Stopped by Browns

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has thrown four touchdowns in each of his last three games. Mahomes has thrown for over 300 yards per game every single week besides Week 1. He's looking like the front-runner for MVP at the moment, but could face some difficulties against the Browns. Cleveland has given up the […]

Dwight Howard Will Start on Friday

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard (back) will start against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. Howard is still dealing with some discomfort, but is able to take the court. It's unclear at the moment whether or not Howard will be under a minutes limit. The Wizards are likely going to be cautious with Howard because […]

Markieff Morris Returns to Practice

Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris (concussion) returned to practice on Thursday. He sat out of Tuesday's game, but it sounds like he'll be ready to play Friday versus the Thunder. Jeff Green and Jason Smith would lose playing time and value with Morris back in the rotation. Neither player is worth using in any fantasy […]

Goran Dragic Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Goran Dragic (foot) did not practice on Thursday. He's currently dealing with a foot/toe issue, but it's unclear how he suffered the injury. The Heat don't play until Saturday, so maybe Dragic will be fine by then. Tyler Johnson would likely draw the start if Dragic is forced out of action. Fantasy […]

James Harden is Doubtful for Friday

Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden (hamstring) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Head coach Mike D'Antoni said Harden is doubtful for Friday, but Harden could return for the next game. Harden went through practice on Thursday, but it doesn't sound like he's 100 percent ready yet. Eric Gordon is expected to […]

Hassan Whiteside Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Miami Heat center Hassan Whiteside (head) did not practice on Thursday. Whiteside is dealing with a migraine, but the Heat are off until Saturday. Hopefully some rest is all that Whiteside needs. Kelly Olynyk and Bam Adebayo would see increased playing time and usage if Whiteside is forced to the sideline. Olynyk has more fantasy […]

Jimmy Butler Intends to Play on Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (personal) plans to play against the Golden State Warriors on Friday. Butler said that he needed to rest on Wednesday due to general soreness. It's unclear whether he sat out due to soreness or just because he's frustrated that the Wolves have not traded him yet. He's expected to play […]

De'Aaron Fox is Probable for Thursday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) is probable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Fox managed to play 31 minutes on Tuesday despite a back issue. He's been fantastic this season and it sounds like he can play through the back discomfort. Fantasy owners should expect Fox to be out there on Thursday, […]

Jaylen Brown is Questionable for Thursday

Boston Celtics guard/forward Jaylen Brown (foot) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It sounds like Brown has plantar fasciitis which could continue to be a lingering issue for him. The Celtics may decide to take the cautious approach and rest Brown on Thursday. Fantasy owners probably won't get an official answer until […]

Wilson Chandler Remains Out on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Wilson Chandler (hamstring) has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Head coach Brett Brown hinted on Monday that Chandler was getting close to a return. However, Chandler still remains without a timetable. The Sixers are expected to ease him back into things once he's cleared to play. […]

Jeff Teague Won't Play on Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Jeff Teague (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Teague bumped knees with LeBron James on Monday and currently has a left knee contusion. He is scheduled for an MRI, so the Timberwolves should have a better idea about the injury soon. Derrick Rose and Tyus Jones will […]

Jabari Parker Will Start on Wednesday

Chicago Bulls forward Jabari Parker will draw the start at power forward for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Chandler Hutchison will head back to the bench after doing basically nothing during his 23 minutes as starter on Monday. Bobby Portis (knee) and Lauri Markkanen (elbow) are both sidelined. Parker's value is trending up with […]
