NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks - Today's Top Lineups (Week 18)

It’s the final week of the 2023-24 campaign. Several clubs have already punched their ticket to the postseason, meaning some of the league’s most prominent fantasy performers won’t be on the field. Fortunately, more than a few teams are playing for one reason or another, whether to clinch a division crown or earn a postseason […]

T.J. Watt Diagnosed With A Torn MCL

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (knee) suffered a torn MCL during Saturday's win over the Ravens. It's not good news for Pittsburgh, who still has a chance at earning a postseason berth. However, although he'll undergo further testing, the team may be without their top defensive option throughout the […]

Jaylen Waddle Not Expected To Play In Week 18

According to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (ankle) is unlikely to play in Sunday night's encounter with the Buffalo Bills. The wideout has battled a high-ankle sprain since the Week 16 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. He didn't suit up for the blowout loss to the Baltimore […]

Raheem Mostert Unlikely To Face The Bills

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee, ankle) is unlikely to play in Sunday's AFC East meeting with the Bills. The 31-year-old didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday before logging a limited session on Friday, so it appeared there was a chance he'd be back. Unfortunately, […]

Eric Gordon May Miss Another Game

Phoenix Suns guard Eric Gordon (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Grizzlies. The veteran has played relatively well during the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 13.6 points and shooting 40.9% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he missed Friday's win over Miami because of a sore right knee. Nevertheless, there's a chance for Gordon to remain […]

Kevin Durant Might Return Against Memphis

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Sunday's contest versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran has stayed relatively healthy for most of the season. But he's missed the last three games because of a strained hamstring. That said, he is averaging some of the best numbers of his career this season, logging […]

Alec Burks Probable Against The Defending Champs

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday versus the Denver Nuggets. Burks has slowed down since averaging 15 points per game in October. However, he scored at least 21 points or more in the previous two games leading up to Friday's loss to the Warriors, so there may be something […]

Richaun Holmes Not Expected To Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Richaun Holmes (personal) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old has missed the last two games, so it appears he's moving toward another absence. That said, Holmes has rarely seen the floor this season, averaging 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 points in 10.6 minutes per contest. He could […]

Grant Williams May Not Play On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks forward Grant Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves. He's dealing with a sprained right ankle, keeping him out of the lineup in Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Luka Doncic (ankle) didn't play in that game, either, so Williams could have gotten more involved offensively. At any rate, […]

Dereck Lively II Doubtful On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) isn't expected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The rookie has played well this season, averaging 8.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks in 29 appearances. However, he's been battling a sprained ankle, an injury he sustained versus the Trail Blazers on Wednesday evening. […]

Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Timberwolves. He didn't suit up on Friday night versus Portland because of right ankle swelling. As a result, Kyrie Irving led the way offensively, finishing with a game-high 24 points, adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Additionally, […]

Rui Hachimura Still Out On Sunday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura (calf) remains out on Sunday against the Clippers. He's dealing with a calf strain, an injury he picked up during the New Year's Eve meeting with the New Orleans Pelicans. The Lakers have struggled since winning the inaugural NBA Cup, and it hasn't helped the team has been without […]

Draymond Green Reinstated After 12-Game Absence

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (suspension) was reinstated by the league on Saturday. The veteran sat out 12 games, during which he underwent counseling and routine "progress meetings" with the team and league representatives. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported it will take him "approximately a week to ramp up," so fantasy managers may not see […]

Joel Embiid Now Questionable On Saturday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) is now listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. The reigning MVP injured his knee in Saturday's loss to the New York Knicks, so it was surprising when he began the day without an injury designation. Head coach Nick Nurse indicated Embiid is a game-time […]

Tobias Harris Sidelined Versus Utah

Philadelphia 76ers forward Tobias Harris (ankle) won't play on Saturday versus the Utah Jazz. He suffered a left ankle injury in Friday's loss to the Knicks and finished with a horrendous five points in 24 minutes. There's a chance Harris' absence extends a few more games moving ahead, depending on how severe the ailment is. […]

Joel Embiid Not Listed On The Injury Report

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. The reigning MVP had another impressive outing in the loss to the Knicks on Friday and extended his 30-point or more scoring streak to 16 straight games. However, he suffered a knee injury during the contest, which […]

Joel Embiid Extends Scoring Streak, Injures Knee

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) finished with 30 points, 10 boards, and three blocks in Friday's loss to the New York Knicks. The reigning MVP extended his 30-point scoring streak to 16 games. Unfortunately, he suffered a left knee injury, although he finished the game. Embiid downplayed the ailment while speaking to the media […]

Chris Paul Fractures Hand, Needs Surgery

Golden State Warriors guard Chris Paul (hand) was injured in Friday's win over Detroit and was ruled out after logging 24 minutes and finishing with eight points, six boards, and one block. Unfortunately, the team revealed that the 12-time All-Star suffered a fractured left hand and will undergo surgery next week. This isn't an ideal […]

Tyler Boyd May Play Final Game As A Bengal On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd may play in his final game with the organization on Sunday versus the Browns. The 2016 second-round pick has had a potent career in Cincinnati, including 1,000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019. Unfortunately, he's had one of the worst campaigns of his career in 2023-24, catching 66 passes for […]

Joe Mixon Closes Out A Strong Year Versus Cleveland

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 18 encounter with the Browns. Mixon hasn't hit the 100-yard rushing mark in any game this season. However, he's totaled 10 touchdowns, finding the end zone in eight of his previous 10 games. With the Bengals not going to […]

Jake Browning Ready To Roll For Week 18

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (foot) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's showdown with the Browns. The signal-caller didn't practice on Wednesday because of a foot issue. However, he logged full sessions on Thursday and Friday, so he wasn't in any real danger of missing the finale. Browning has played better than expected […]

Ja'Marr Chase Good To Go For The Finale

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) logged a full practice on Friday and was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 18 matchup with the Browns. The wideout had a monster performance in the Week 13 win over Jacksonville, catching 11 of 12 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown. However, he's […]

P.J. Washington Doubtful To Return On Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward/center P.J. Washington (ankle) suffered a right ankle injury in Friday's meeting with the Chicago Bulls. He's not expected to return. Another extended absence wouldn't be an ideal scenario for Charlotte, considering the team has been without LaMelo Ball (ankle), Gordon Hayward (calf), and Mark Williams (back). At any rate, if Washington doesn't […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Sidelined Versus The Nuggets

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't suit up for Friday's meeting with the Nuggets in Denver. Goga Bitadze (illness), Franz Wagner (ankle), and Markelle Fultz (knee) are also sidelined, so the Magic will need to go deep into their rotation to fill the void. That said, Paolo Banchero, Cole Anthony, and Jalen Suggs […]

Goga Bitadze Out On Friday

Orlando Magic center Goga Bitadze (illness) is out on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets. Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) is also out, joining Markelle Fultz (knee) and Franz Wagner (ankle) on the shelf versus the defending champs. As a result, Moritz Wagner will slide into the starting lineup. The 26-year-old has averaged 10.9 points and 4.4 […]

Gary Trent Jr. Out On Friday Night

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) won't play on Friday night versus the Kings. The 24-year-old was listed as questionable because of a right quad contusion. However, he hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.3 points, more than six points fewer than last season, so his absence won't significantly impact fantasy managers. Nonetheless, […]

Kevin Durant Officially Out Versus Miami

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out on Friday versus the Miami Heat. He's already missed two games because of a right hamstring strain. However, his questionable designation during the day on Friday suggests he's at least moving in a favorable direction. Nonetheless, with Eric Gordon (knee) also sidelined against Miami, Devin Booker and […]

Luka Doncic Sitting Out On Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could […]

Patrick Williams Ruled Out Versus Charlotte

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Hornets. The 22-year-old was listed as questionable. However, his absence won't be as significant of a blow for Chicago, considering the team will get Nikola Vucevic (hip) and Zach LaVine (foot) back on Friday night. But with Alex Caruso (neck), Torrey Craig (foot) […]

Pascal Siakam's Trade Discussions "Ramping Up"

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Raptors are "ramping up" trade discussions involving forward Pascal Siakam. Additionally, Charania reported that the Sacramento Kings have emerged as a legitimate suitor. But with the 29-year-old on an expiring contract, his long-term commitment to Sacramento (or any other franchise) is a significant component of a potential […]
