Jusuf Nurkic Out Again On Monday

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (personal) won't play in Monday's game versus the visiting Mavericks. The former Trail Blazer has played well in his first season with the Suns, averaging 12.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks. But he'll miss his second game of the season, so his next chance to return will be on […]

Josh Richardson Expected To Play Versus Philly

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) is expected to suit up on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 30-year-old is probable after battling back spasms. Unfortunately, he has averaged 10.0 points and shooting a career-low 32.7 points this season, so his expected availability for the Christmas meeting with Philly won't mean much for many fantasy […]

Kyle Lowry Not On The Injury Report

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (leg) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's Christmas showdown with the Philadelphia 76ers. Lowry briefly exited Friday's meeting versus the Atlanta Hawks with a lower leg injury. However, he managed to return, logging 22 minutes on the night. At any rate, the 27-year-old hasn't been a viable […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable For Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) is questionable for the Christmas meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers.

At any rate, Collins has […]

Trevor Lawrence Expected To Play On Sunday

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (head) is expected to play on Sunday versus Tampa Bay. The 24-year-old has gotten banged up in the last month, suffering an ankle injury in the Monday night overtime loss to the Bengals in Week 13. He continues to deal with the ankle issue. However, […]

De'Von Achane Expected To Suit Up Against Dallas

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (toe) is expected to play in Week 16 versus Dallas. The rookie missed practice on Wednesday because of a toe injury.

Dolphins "Optimistic" Tyreek Hill Will Play

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins are "optimistic" that wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) will suit up for Sunday's game versus the Dallas Cowboys.

Kenneth Walker III Likely Good To Go For Week 16

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) is expected to play on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

Trenton Irwin Has Four Catches On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin caught all four targets for 37 yards during Saturday's loss to the Steelers. Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) wasn't in the lineup, meaning extra targets were up for grabs. While Tee Higgins was the clear beneficiary, finishing with five receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown, Irwin had one of his […]

Chase Brown Quiet In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown had 16 yards off four carries during Saturday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He added two catches for eight yards. The rookie has been more involved on the offensive end in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, Brown couldn't get anything going, although he wasn't alone, considering the Steelers defense […]

Tyler Boyd Has Five Grabs In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught five of seven targets for 59 yards during the Week 16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) out of the lineup, Tee Higgins led the way on the receiving end, finishing with five receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown. While Boyd couldn't find the […]

Tee Higgins Has Another Monster Showing On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught five of eight targets for 140 yards during the AFC North showdown with the Steelers on Saturday. The wideout also had a touchdown, an 80-yard scoring catch early in the third quarter for his third trip to the end zone in the last two games. Higgins has struggled […]

Joe Mixon Doesn't Find The End Zone In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon amassed 43 yards off 11 carries in Saturday's loss to the Steelers. He added two receptions for seven yards. The former Sooner scored a touchdown in seven of his last eight appearances. Unfortunately, Mixon couldn't get anything going in Week 16, although the Steelers' decisive lead during the contest […]

Jake Browning Tosses Three Picks Versus Pittsburgh

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning finished Saturday's loss to the Steelers by throwing for 335 yards and a touchdown off 28-for-42 passing. The signal-caller did some things well in Week 16. However, Browning also made some critical mistakes, including tossing three interceptions. In all fairness, the Steelers defense had one of its best games of […]

Andrew Wiggins Might Miss Another Game

Golden State Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins (illness) is questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Trail Blazers. The veteran is battling a non-COVID-related illness, which kept him off the floor on Friday night versus the Wizards. As a result, Trayce Jackson-Davis got more work, logging 25 minutes, and finished with 15 rebounds, 10 points, and one […]

Mark Williams Still Out On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) remains out for Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets. The 22-year-old has missed his last six games (and seven of his previous eight) because of a low back contusion, so it's anyone's guess when he'll be back on the floor. As a result, Nick Richards will remain in the starting […]

Zion Williamson Will Play On Saturday Evening

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (illness) will play on Saturday night against the Houston Rockets. Williamson was listed as questionable because of a non-COVID-related illness, but he's good to go. The oft-injured 23-year-old has averaged a career-low 22 points throughout the 2023-24 campaign. However, he's a must-start for fantasy purposes.

Karl-Anthony Towns Ruled Out Versus Sacramento

Minnesota Timberwolves forward/center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't play on Saturday in Sacramento. The 28-year-old logged 33 minutes on Thursday versus the Los Angeles Lakers, finishing with 21 points. Unfortunately, he injured his left knee and left the court in obvious pain. Fortunately, it doesn't appear the injury is anything serious, although KAT could miss a […]

Joel Embiid Misses Practice On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) didn't practice on Saturday. The reigning MVP tweaked his right ankle during Friday's win over the Toronto Raptors, although he still finished with 31 points, 10 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks, and two steals. Fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Christmas versus the Miami Heat. But if Embiid […]

Luke Kornet Remains Out On Saturday

Boston Celtics center Luke Kornet (adductor) is out again for Saturday's matchup versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old missed his previous five games with a left adductor strain. However, he's averaged just 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds this season, meaning his absence wouldn't have meant much under normal circumstances. But with Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) […]

Jayson Tatum Cleared For Action Versus The Clippers

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) will play in Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's overtime encounter with the Golden State Warriors, although he finished the game, logging 41 minutes. But as expected, he sat out on Wednesday in Sacramento. However, it was likely a precautionary move. The […]

Kawhi Leonard Out Again On Saturday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) won't play in Saturday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 32-year-old has remained relatively healthy all season, which is good news for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, he's battling a hip contusion, so he'll miss a second straight contest. Nonetheless, Amir Coffey will likely continue to fill the void. Coffey […]

Jayson Tatum Expected To Play On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) is expected to suit up for Saturday's matinee with the Los Angeles Clippers. He tweaked his ankle in Tuesday's overtime encounter with the Golden State Warriors, although he finished the game, logging 41 minutes. But as expected, he sat out on Wednesday in Sacramento. However, it was likely a […]

Brian Robinson Jr. and Antonio Gibson also […]

Jayson Tatum Questionable Versus The Clippers

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out On Saturday

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) won't play on Saturday afternoon versus the Los Angeles Clippers. He's battled a calf issue for months. However, the veteran tweaked his left ankle in Wednesday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings, so now he's dealing with another ailment. At this point, Porzingis may miss more time moving ahead, especially […]

Tyler Boyd Hard To Trust In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd hasn't had a memorable year. The veteran has just 59 receptions for 575 yards. Even worse, he's scored only twice. By now, most fantasy managers haven't included Boyd in the starting lineup. While his stock is a bit higher heading into the Week 16 meeting with the Steelers with […]

Tee Higgins Hoping For Another Big Performance

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins hasn't had a productive 2023-24 campaign. He's dealt with a few injuries. Additionally, the 24-year-old found the end zone just twice ahead of the meeting with the Vikings. Most fantasy managers had lost hope, so he wasn't included in many starting lineups in Week 15. However, he caught four […]
