According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) recently underwent surgery after re-injuring his ankle in Week 15 against the Chargers.

Jalen Hurts Uncertain For Week 17 As Well

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder) is sidelined for Saturday's meeting against Dallas. However, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, there's concern that the signal-caller won't be available in Week 17 versus the New Orleans Saints either.

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 16 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Jerick McKinnon, Derrick Henry, CeeDee Lamb, Ja'Marr Chase, Travis Kelce

Happy Holidays! With Christmas on a Sunday this year, 10 games will be played on Saturday, which will feel a bit different. However, it's still business as usual.

LeBron James Available Against The Kings

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is active for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento. James has been dealing with left ankle soreness for most of the season, so it's something that may continue to bother him moving ahead. That said, considering L.A. won't have Anthony Davis (foot) and Russell Westbrook (foot) on the floor, James […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Out Against The Clippers

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) remains out for Wednesday's clash against the Clippers. The 25-year-old hasn't played in nearly a month because of a sprained ankle, so his absence isn't surprising by any means. Smith likely wouldn't haven seen much action with LaMelo Ball back in the lineup. However, with Terry Rozier (hip) […]

Terry Rozier Downgraded To Out On Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (hip) won't play against the Clippers. He was listed as doubtful, so fantasy managers had expected this all along.

Alex Caruso Won't Return To Matchup Against Atlanta

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (shoulder) won't return to Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta. The 28-year-old was entering this contest on the injury report for another ailment, a right elbow sprain, so it's possible he'll miss some time moving ahead. He'd finish with five points and a steal in 10 minutes of work, so he didn't […]

Austin Reaves Sidelined On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves (ankle) won't play against Sacramento, marking his second consecutive absence because of a sprained left ankle. Russell Westbrook (foot) is out as well, so L.A. will be shorthanded in the backcourt on Wednesday night. As a result, Dennis Schroder, who had 30 points in the loss to Phoenix, should […]

Domantas Sabonis Available Against The Lakers

Sacramento Kings center Domantas Sabonis (hand) will play versus the Lakers. The 26-year-old was riding a questionable tag throughout much of Wednesday because of a hand ailment. However, he's good to go. Sabonis is coming off a strong 28-point, 23-rebound outing against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. Considering L.A. won't have Anthony Davis (foot), Sabonis […]

Collin Sexton Questionable Against The Wizards

Utah Jazz guard Collin Sexton (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Washington Wizards. The 23-year-old has missed his previous seven games because of a hamstring strain.

Kelly Olynyk Out On Thursday Night

Utah Jazz center Kelly Olynyk (ankle) won't play on Thursday against the Wizards, his third consecutive absence because of a sprained left ankle.

Dorian Finney-Smith Ruled Out Against Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward Dorian Finney-Smith (groin) won't play on Wednesday against Minnesota. The 29-year-old was injured in Monday's first game of back-to-back outings versus the Timberwolves, allowing Davis Bertans to finish with 18 points off 6-for-9 shooting from deep. While Bertans won't be starting, he should get enough minutes off the bench to warrant a […]

Rudy Gobert To Suit Up On Wednesday Evening

Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (ankle) will suit up for Wednesday's meeting with Dallas after missing his previous three games. With the defensive specialist back on the floor, Naz Reid will head back to the bench, so he'll lose some fantasy appeal. Although Gobert could see fewer minutes in his first game back from the […]

Kyle Anderson Out Versus Mavs

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Kyle Anderson (back) won't play against the Mavericks. He didn't suit up on Monday in the first installment of the two-game set with Dallas, allowing Austin Rivers to enter the starting lineup and finish with 16 points, five rebounds, and a steal. Considering Rivers played 37 minutes in that one, he is […]

Kyrie Irving Out On Wednesday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (calf) won't play on Wednesday against the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. During warmups, Irving experienced tightness in his calf, so head coach Jacque Vaughn opted for the safe approach and keep him out. In the meantime, Ben Simmons will take over at the one, with Edmond Sumner expected to get […]

Gary Trent Jr. Questionable Again On Wednesday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's contest versus the Knicks. Trent has missed the last three games due to left quad soreness, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's ruled out. If that's the case, Malachi Flynn, who's averaged 6.6 points in 19 games this season, could be in […]

Jayson Tatum Will Play On Wednesday

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (personal reasons) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Pacers.

That said, […]

The 24-year-old got the start for Jayson Tatum (personal) on Sunday versus Orlando, logging 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 31 minutes. However, with Tatum expected back, Williams would return to his usual role from the bench, so his fantasy […]

Marcus Smart Questionable For Meeting With Indy

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers. It's not COVID, so even if he sits this one out, he will probably be good to go on Friday versus Minnesota. In the meantime, fantasy managers should expect Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon to get additional minutes if Smart […]

Khris Middleton Unlikely To Play Against Cleveland

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) isn't expected to play on Wednesday versus Cleveland. The veteran missed his previous two games because of knee soreness, so if he's out again, rookie MarJon Beauchamp could be in line for another start. The 22-year-old has averaged only 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds in seven starts this season, […]
