Jarrett Allen Won't Return Against The Pacers

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup with the Pacers. Allen hasn't played this season because of an ankle injury, and he could miss a few more games moving ahead, considering the team doesn't want to rush his rehab efforts. As a result, Evan Mobley will likely stay at the […]

Darius Garland Out Again On Saturday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (hamstring) remains out for Saturday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Garland has battled a hamstring issue for a while. He managed to play in the opener. However, the 23-year-old didn't suit up on Friday versus OKC, allowing Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) to finish with 43 points. But Mitchell is now questionable […]

Donovan Mitchell May Not Play Against Indiana

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) may miss Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. Mitchell scored 43 points in Friday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder but is now questionable because of hamstring soreness. With Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) out, Caris LeVert and Evan Mobley could emerge as must-start options for DFS managers […]

Devin Booker To Miss Another Game

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) remains out ahead of Saturday's meeting with Utah. This will mark the sharpshooter's second consecutive absence, meaning his next chance to suit up will occur on Halloween versus the Spurs. Bradley Beal (back) also won't play, so Eric Gordon, coming off a 15-point performance in Thursday's loss to the […]

Courtland Sutton A Risky Option Against The Chiefs

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has proven himself the most reliable pass-catcher for the team this season. The 28-year-old has 31 catches (43 targets) for 351 yards. He also has five touchdowns, one away from tying his career-high from 2019, when he made the Pro Bowl. Of course, the inconsistent play of Russell Wilson […]

Brock Purdy Cleared, Will Play In Week 8

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (head) cleared concussion protocol and no longer carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Bengals. The signal-caller was limited in practice on Thursday but fully participated in Friday's session, so he was moving in the right direction. Of course, […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Elevated Off The Practice Squad

The Rams elevated running back Darrell Henderson Jr. off the practice squad on Saturday ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Cowboys. With Kyren Williams (ankle) on injured reserve, Royce Freeman and Henderson were expected to split opportunities out of the backfield in Week 7 versus the Steelers. However, it quickly became evident Henderson […]

Samaje Perine Not A Safe Choice For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine hasn't had the year most thought he would. The former Bengal has just 98 yards off 26 carries and 20 catches for 215 yards through the first seven weeks. More alarming, he hasn't scored a touchdown as a runner or pass-catcher. Most had assumed Perine at least had a […]

Jaleel McLaughlin A Risky Flex Play Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has had a decent inaugural campaign. While Javonte Williams is still the No. 1 back on the depth chart, the rookie has been arguably more productive. McLaughlin has three total touchdowns on the year compared to Williams' zero, and the former has slowly been getting more involved as each […]

Javonte Williams Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams hasn't had the best 2023-24 campaign. Even though there were doubts he'd be ready to start the year after flirting with the PUP list in training camp because of a knee injury, fantasy managers are still disappointed. It's safe to say the 23-year-old has fallen well below expectations, considering […]

Russell Wilson Not An Ideal Option Versus The Chiefs

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson will meet Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs for the second time this season. Both AFC West clubs recently clashed in Week 6. However, the signal-caller didn't do anything relevant, finishing the night by amassing 95 passing yards and a touchdown. Even worse, he threw two interceptions and completed an embarrassing […]

Brock Purdy Expected To Play In Week 8

According to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (concussion) is anticipated to get cleared and start on Sunday versus the Bengals "if all goes as expected." The signal-caller practiced in full on Friday after being limited in Thursday's session, which is always a good sign. But for now, […]

Frank Ragnow Battling Multiple Injuries

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (toe, calf) isn't expected to practice on Saturday, marking what would be his third consecutive absence. He may work "on the side." However, head coach Dan Campbell said it's "tough" to tell if the 27-year-old would play in Monday's meeting with the Raiders. Ragnow, a multi-time Pro-Bowler, is considered one […]

Jordan Wilkins Elevated From The Practice Squad

The Browns elevated running back Jordan Wilkins from the practice squad ahead of the team's upcoming meeting in Seattle. Under normal circumstances, this move wouldn't be newsworthy. However, it may paint a bigger picture, potentially signaling an impending absence by Jerome Ford (ankle), who remains questionable for Week 8. Fortunately for Cleveland, Kareem Hunt (thigh) […]

Davante Adams "Happy" To Be A Raider

During a recent interview with NFL Media's Rich Eisen, Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams stated he is "happy" to be on the team. The veteran recently voiced his displeasure, specifically regarding his lack of involvement, leading many to believe he wanted out. However, Adams' unhappiness evidently was heard loud and clear by teammates […]

Jaden McDaniels Doubtful Versus Miami

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (calf) isn't expected to play on Saturday against Miami. The 23-year-old, who recently signed a lucrative extension with the Timberwolves, is battling a calf strain. While he's considered day-to-day, there's a realistic chance he will miss a few more time moving ahead, including upcoming games versus Atlanta and Denver. As […]

Naji Marshall Remains Out On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Naji Marshall (knee) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the visiting Knicks. The 25-year-old suffered a right knee contusion during a preseason game against the Atlanta Hawks in mid-October and was expected to miss a few weeks, meaning he could be nearing a return. However, even when Marshall is back in […]

Devin Booker Unlikely To Play Against Utah

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) isn't expected to play on Saturday night against Utah. Booker didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Lakers, so his next chance to return will be on Tuesday for the Halloween encounter with the Spurs. With Bradley Beal (back) already ruled out, the Suns will be forced to rely […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return Saturday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) won't play on Saturday against Utah. Beal will miss his third consecutive game because of back spasms, so his next chance to make his official debut with his new team will be on Tuesday versus the visiting Spurs. With Devin Booker (foot) doubtful, Kevin Durant, who had 39 points […]

Tee Higgins Needs A Strong Showing In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has struggled with injuries and underwhelming play throughout the 2023-24 campaign. Higgins' best showing of the year was in Week 2 against Baltimore, with the wideout catching eight of his 12 targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns. Outside of that, he has just two receptions in each of […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looks To Lead Cincinnati To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase hasn't had the year many had envisioned entering the 2023-24 campaign. Chase didn't find the end zone until the Week 5 win over the Cardinals, with the former LSU Tiger amassing 15 catches for 192 yards and three touchdowns. However, outside of a couple of games this season, Chase […]

Joe Mixon Still A Flex Option In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't had the best season. The 27-year-old still hasn't surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark. Even worse, he has only one touchdown while averaging a mediocre 3.8 yards per carry. With the Bengals coming off a bye in Week 7, Mixon and company will look for a third-straight win on […]

Joe Burrow Looking To Lead Bengals To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow looks to lead his team to a third-straight win on Sunday against the 49ers. The Bengals were off in Week 7, which couldn't have come soon enough for many players on Cincinnati's roster, including Burrow, who has battled a calf issue since training camp. Although the signal-caller claimed the injury […]

Cameron Johnson Now Out On Friday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) won't play on Friday night against the Mavs. The 27-year-old is dealing with a calf contusion, so he may only miss a game or two before he's ready to return. Brooklyn also won't have Nicolas Claxton (ankle), meaning the team will be without two essential components of the starting […]

Draymond Green "Close" To Returning

According to Warriors head coach Steve Kerr, forward Draymond Green (ankle) is nearing a return. The veteran missed Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns and won't play on Friday versus the Sacramento Kings. However, Kerr indicated he wanted Green to increase his conditioning level before being cleared, so he might be sidelined for just a […]

Landry Shamet Returns To Practice On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Landry Shamet (toe) practiced on Friday. The 26-year-old broke his big toe a month ago and was projected to miss up to four weeks, so he's on track with his recovery. Shamet, who was traded to the Wizards as a part of the Bradley Beal deal, has played for the 76ers, Clippers, […]

Anfernee Simons To Undergo Surgery

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (thumb) will miss 4-to-6 weeks after an MRI revealed a ligament tear in his right thumb. Simons was listed as probable for Friday's meeting with Orlando. However, he was downgraded to questionable later in the day, so fantasy managers had a feeling something wasn't right. It's an unfortunate development […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Struggles On Wednesday Night

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic scored only seven points in Wednesday's loss to the Charlotte Hornets. The 2017 No. 27 overall pick logged 24 minutes from the bench, going 3-for-9 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep, adding four rebounds and four assists. Fortunately, he had three steals, which helped offset some of his shooting […]

Luka Doncic Available Against Spurs

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) will play on Wednesday night against the Spurs. There were doubts regarding his availability for at least the opener. However, he returned to practice on Monday, participating every day since, and was present for Wednesday morning's shootaround. That said, Doncic may see fewer […]

Santi Aldama To Miss Season Opener

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (ankle) won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Pelicans. He's battling a right ankle sprain. Fortunately, it's "considered mild," so he has a chance to return sooner rather than later. The 22-year-old had a productive season in 2022-23, averaging 9.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Memphis needs him back […]
