Mac Jones Expected To Start Against The Giants

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is expected to start in Sunday's meeting with the Giants. A report surfaced on Saturday suggesting the team wouldn't decide until Sunday morning if Jones or Bailey Zappe would be under center in Week 12. While things can certainly change, it appears the 2021 No. 15 overall pick will […]

Terry Rozier Expected To Return On Sunday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) is expected to return for Sunday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. Rozier missed the last nine games because of a groin strain, which allowed others to benefit on the scoring end. Before going down, the 29-year-old had averaged a career-high 22 points. However, with Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball, and […]

Nikola Jokic Probable For Sunday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is expected to suit up for Sunday's matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. The multi-time MVP is battling back soreness. However, this isn't anything new, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about his availability, considering he hasn't missed a game all year. Jokic is having another phenomenal season, averaging […]

Jrue Holiday Questionable Versus Atlanta

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Hawks. Holiday didn't suit up for Friday's in-season tournament loss to the Orlando Magic, allowing Al Horford to slide into the starting lineup. However, with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) already ruled out, Sam Hauser and Payton Pritchard could be needed to step […]

Kristaps Porzingis Won't Play Against Atlanta

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Atlanta Hawks. The veteran lasted only 22 minutes in Friday's meeting against the Orlando Magic. Unfortunately, he suffered a calf strain and didn't return to the contest. Porzingis had an MRI on Saturday, although fantasy managers should expect to be without him […]

Deandre Ayton Expected To Play On Sunday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (back) is expected to play on Sunday in Milwaukee. The former Sun is battling lower back soreness, keeping him out of Wednesday's contest against the Utah Jazz. But he recently returned to practice, which is a good sign, and the probable tag nearly confirms he'll be in the lineup […]

Jordan Poole Ruled Out Late On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) was a late scratch for Saturday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. Fantasy managers were surprised to see him listed as out right around lock time. However, head coach Wes Unseld Jr. reported that the former Warrior "tweaked" his left ankle during pregame warm-ups, allowing Corey Kispert to take his […]

Darius Garland Doesn't Return Against The Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (neck) finished Saturday's matchup against the Lakers with six points, three assists, and one steal. Unfortunately, he didn't last long in this one, logging just 14 minutes before exiting with a neck strain. The injury isn't anything new, considering Garland has already missed time this season because of it. However, […]

Mac Jones, Bailey Zappe Split Reps In Practice This Week

According to ESPN's Jeff Howe, New England Patriots quarterbacks Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe split reps in practice during the week. However, the decision on who's starting for the Week 12 matchup with the Giants may not come until Sunday morning. While Jones is rumored to remain the starter, Zappe could be thrust right back […]

AJ McCarron Elevated To The Active Roster

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback AJ McCarron was elevated from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Joe Burrow (wrist) was officially placed on the injured reserve list, so the team made the move to fill the void on the depth chart. McCarron, who has bounced around the league […]

Mecole Hardman Jr. Lands On Injured Reserve

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. (thumb) landed on the injured reserve list on Saturday. The wideout injured his thumb during Monday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and had already been ruled out for the Week 12 meeting with the Las Vegas Raiders. However, the injury must be more severe than initially believed, […]

Justin Jefferson Questionable Against Chicago

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Chicago Bears. The wideout has logged limited practice sessions throughout the week. However, considering Jefferson was vague when asked about his Week 12 availability, it will be tough for fantasy managers to plan, especially since the Vikings won't play until […]

D'Onta Foreman Considered Doubtful For Monday Night

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman (ankle, shin) isn't expected to play in Monday's NFC North meeting with the Vikings. The 27-year-old was ruled out during the Week 11 matchup with the Detroit Lions and didn't practice on Thursday. He logged limited sessions on Friday and Saturday, although it doesn't appear he'll be healthy enough […]

Kadarius Toney Won't Play In Week 12

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle, hip) won't play in Sunday's AFC West showdown with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 24-year-old had high expectations entering the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, he hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers, catching 22 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown. Nevertheless, the Chiefs also won't have Mecole […]

Joel Embiid Expected To Play Against OKC

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (hip) is expected to play on Saturday against OKC. Embiid has battled left hip soreness for the last week or so, although it finally kept him out for Wednesday's meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Marcus Morris Sr. ended up starting that one, with the veteran finishing with 16 points, four […]

Tyler Boyd Hard To Trust Against Pittsburgh

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd finished the Week 11 loss to the Ravens by amassing just three grabs for 22 yards. Unfortunately, that type of showing has been the norm for the wideout all year. That said, things aren't expected to get better, considering the inexperienced Jake Browning will take over at the helm […]

Joe Mixon Could See More Work In Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't had a Pro Bowl season. He's averaged just 4.0 yards per carry and still hasn't eclipsed the 100-yard mark on the ground. However, the former Oklahoma Sooner has been a serviceable fantasy option, considering he'll enter the Week 12 matchup with the Steelers riding a four-game scoring streak. […]

Ja'Marr Chase Aims To Stay Elite With A New Quarterback

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been inconsistent all season. He's had some potent fantasy showings. On the other hand, the wideout has had more than a few disappointing performances. Chase scored a touchdown in last Thursday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. However, he had just two catches for 12 yards. In his defense, […]

Jake Browning Looks To Get Bengals On Track In Week 12

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning will start on Sunday against the Steelers. Joe Burrow (wrist) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, so Browning will do his best to keep Cincinnati in the postseason conversation. The 27-year-old, who won the backup job during the preseason, took over for the ailing Burrow in the […]

Dereck Lively II Ruled Out Against The Clippers

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (back) won't play on Saturday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. The rookie took a fall during Wednesday's meeting with the Lakers, resulting in a lower back bruise. Dallas is also still without Maxi Kleber (toe), so the team may rely on Richaun Holmes to fill the void. The […]

Dru Smith Done For The Year

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (knee) will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign. An MRI confirmed a third-degree ACL sprain for the 25-year-old, which was enough to keep him on the shelf. Smith had played sparingly throughout the season, averaging 4.3 points and 1.0 steals in nine games, so his absence isn't expected to […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Remains Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) will remain out for Saturday's meeting with the Miami Heat. He's day-to-day, so it appears he's nearing a return. But in the meantime, the 2017 No. 9 overall pick will miss a third consecutive contest. With Brooklyn still without Ben Simmons (back) and Cam Thomas (ankle) as well, […]

Donovan Mitchell May Miss Another Game On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) is questionable ahead of Saturday's meeting with the Lakers. He's missed the previous four games because of a hamstring strain, so the team isn't taking any chances with the superstar. That said, Darius Garland, averaging 25 points, five assists, and three rebounds without Mitchell this season, would remain a […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Have An MRI On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (calf) finished with nine points, four boards, and two steals in Friday's loss to the Orlando Magic. Unfortunately, the veteran logged only 22 minutes of work before exiting for the remainder of the contest due to a left calf issue. The team is optimistic the injury isn't "too serious," although […]

Al Horford Will Start On Friday

Boston Celtics forward/center Al Horford will start in Friday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't suit up, so the C's will go big for the in-season tournament matchup. Horford has averaged a career-low 6.5 points this season. However, the 37-year-old has logged 8.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks in three starts […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Now Questionable Against Washington

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (illness) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards. The multi-time MVP is under the weather. He had been listed as probable as of Friday morning. However, it would be surprising if he played, especially after being downgraded ahead of a game against one of the worst teams in the […]

Drew Eubanks Sitting Out Versus Memphis

Phoenix Suns center Drew Eubanks (ankle) won't play against the Grizzlies. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a game this season. However, he tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's matchup with the Golden State Warriors. Eubanks has averaged 7.6 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks this season, meaning his absence will impact a small group of fantasy managers. […]

Kevin Durant Uncertain To Play On Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (foot) is questionable for Friday's contest against Memphis. Unlike most of Durant's teammates, he hasn't missed a game all year. He's also played some of the best basketball of his career, averaging 31.4 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists while shooting 52.2% from behind the arc. That said, Durant's ailment […]

Jaylen Brown Good To Go Versus Orlando

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (groin) is available for the Friday afternoon showdown with Orlando. He was listed on the injury report because of a groin strain. However, the ailment isn't anything new, and it didn't stop him from scoring a team-high 26 points in the win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. Although the […]

Jrue Holiday Sidelined On Friday

Boston Celtics guard Jrue Holiday (ankle) won't play in Friday's matinee against Orlando. Holiday had been listed as probable as of Thursday night because of a sprained right ankle. However, he apparently suffered a setback, going from doubtful to out since then. The 33-year-old hasn't played the best in his first season with the Celtics, […]
