Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) had an MRI on his ailing left knee. Fortunately, things came back clean, although he did have his knee drained. The 26-year-old has missed the last two games because of the injury and didn't travel with the team for the two-game road trip. However, there is a chance he […]

LeBron James Remains Probable Against Utah

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (foot) is probable for Friday's matchup against the Jazz. James continues to be bothered by left foot soreness. However, it doesn't seem to be impacting him too much, especially after he nearly produced a triple-double during Wednesday's overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans. Assuming James plays, which he […]

De'Anthony Melton Likely To Start Moving Forward

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton is expected to move into the starting lineup, starting on Friday night versus the New York Knicks. With James Harden (ankle) sidelined for at least a month, Melton will have a chance to see a rise in production until the former MVP returns. The 28-year-old has averaged only 9.5 points […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 9 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include

Can you believe we are already at Week 9? Well, believe it or not, we are. In Week 8, we witnessed some fantastic showings from several players.  In his second game as a 49er, Christian McCaffrey finished with a “TD Trifecta,” becoming the first player to accomplish the feat since LaDainian Tomlinson did it back […]

Bengals Defense Looking To Turn Things Around In Week 9

The Bengals defense certainly didn't look the best in Week 8. The unit struggled across the board, allowing Jacoby Brissett to throw for 278 yards while giving up 101 yards and two scores to Nick Chubb. Amari Cooper also found the end zone while adding five catches for 131 yards. With the Panthers on tap […]

Hayden Hurst A Viable Streaming Option In Week 9

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Hayden Hurst had four catches for 42 yards during the Week 8 loss to Cleveland. With that said, the 29-year-old has been somewhat productive in his first season in Cincinnati, amassing 33 catches for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Hurst shouldn't be considered a must-start fantasy option from week to week. […]

Tyler Boyd Remains A Must-Start Versus Carolina

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has quietly put together an efficient 2022-23 campaign. He had only three catches for 38 yards during Monday's loss to Cleveland. However, he scored a touchdown, his second in the last two games. While Tee Higgins is officially the No. 1 wideout, Boyd has arguably been more productive this […]

Tee Higgins Should Continue To Get Attention In Week 9

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had only three catches during the loss to Cleveland in Week 8. However, he found the end zone, salvaging what would have been a disastrous showing. With Ja'Marr Chase (hip) remaining out in Week 9 versus Carolina, Higgins should continue to be Joe Burrow's preferred target, even with Joe […]

Joe Mixon Still A Starting Option Despite Lack Of Production

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't surpassed the 100-yard mark on the ground this season. While the former Sooner caught seven of his nine targets for 32 yards in Week 8 versus the Browns, he ran for only 27 yards off eight attempts. Understandably, fantasy managers have been frustrated with his lack of production […]

Joe Burrow Aiming To Get Bengals Back Into The Win Column

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is aiming to get his team back into the win column on Sunday versus the Panthers. The Bengals got slaughtered in Week 8, losing to Cleveland during the Monday night AFC North showdown.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell finished with 25 points during the win over the Celtics. He also added six assists, four rebounds, two blocks, and a steal. The All-Star struggled shooting the ball, going 11-for-27 from the field. However, he tweaked his ankle before the end of the first half, which may have contributed to […]

Darius Garland Drops 29 Points In Return

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland had a double-double during Wednesday's win over the Celtics, finishing with 29 points and 12 assists. He also got after it defensively by accumulating three steals. The 22-year-old played for the first time since sustaining an eye laceration during the season opener against Toronto. However, Garland certainly didn't look like […]

Jaylen Brown Scores Game-High 30 Points Against Cleveland

Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown scored a game-high 30 points during Wednesday's loss to the Cavs. He also added eight boards, four rebounds, and a steal. Brown struggled shooting the ball, going 10-for-26 from the field and 3-for-10 from deep. With that said, the 26-year-old is still having a terrific year, averaging a career-high 25.3 […]

Jayson Tatum Has Productive Showing Versus Cavs

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 26 points during Wednesday's overtime loss to the Cavaliers. The 24-year-old added 12 rebounds and six assists while also displaying his defensive prowess by amassing four blocks and a steal. He did struggle shooting the ball, going 8-for-21 from the field and 2-for-9 from deep. Yet, it was still […]

Pat Connaughton Remains Out On Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Bucks guard Pat Connaughton (calf) won't suit up on Wednesday against Detroit. The 29-year-old hasn't played a game this season while working his way back from a right calf strain. Connaughton could be back within the next week or so. However, until he returns, Jevon Carter and Wesley Matthews will both continue to get extra […]

De'Aaron Fox Out Versus Miami

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus the Heat. The 24-year-old injured his right knee during Monday's meeting with Charlotte and exited after only nine minutes of action. As a result, Davion Mitchell received some extra work in that one, finishing with 23 points, while Kevin Huerter recorded a team-high 26 […]

Darius Garland Returning On Wednesday Evening

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (eye) will return on Wednesday versus the Celtics. The 22-year-old sustained a left eye laceration during the season opener against the Raptors and hasn't been available since. With that said, Garland's presence will lower the ceilings of Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley, Jarrett Allen, and Caris LeVert. However, all four should […]

Joel Embiid Remains Out On Wednesday With An Illness

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. The 28-year-old will now miss his second straight game while hampered by a non-COVID-related illness. De'Anthony Melton is also out, so head coach Doc Rivers will likely continue to run his starting unit into the ground. As a result, Tyrese Maxey and James […]

Christian Watson Won't Return On Sunday Night

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (head) will not return to Sunday night's matchup versus the Buffalo Bills.

Irv Smith Jr. To Have An MRI

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (ankle) will need an MRI after injuring his ankle late in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Smith didn't impress in Week 8, amassing only four receptions for 28 yards. Overall, the 24-year-old hasn't done much on the fantasy end this season outside his two touchdown catches. While managers […]

Adam Thielen Has A Knee Contusion

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (knee) suffered a knee contusion during the win over the Cardinals on Sunday. Despite a brief exit due to the ailment, the veteran still caught six of his seven targets for 67 yards, one of his best showings of the year. Thielen has 10 receptions for 103 yards and […]

Christian Watson, David Bakhtiari Officially Active

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) and left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) are officially active ahead of Sunday night's meeting with the Bills.

Amani Hooker Ruled Out For Rest Of Week 8

Tennessee Titans safety Amani Hooker (shoulder) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Texans. He suffered a shoulder injury in the first half, finishing the game with one tackle.

Jonathan Taylor Returns To Week 8

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) returned to Sunday's meeting against the Commanders. He briefly exited with an ankle injury and was considered questionable to return. However, Taylor had his ankle re-taped and seems to have avoided anything serious, much to the delight of fantasy managers. Still, managers should monitor the injury heading into […]

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill ran for 62 yards on 10 attempts for an impressive 6.1 yards per carry during the 24-0 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He also added a catch for 11 yards. With receivers Jarvis Landry (ankle) and Michael Thomas (foot) remaining on the sideline for Week 8, Hill […]

Chris Olave Has Five Catches In Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave finished with five catches for 52 yards in the Week 8 win over the Raiders. The rookie didn't find the end zone, but it was still a productive showing on a day where Alvin Kamara accounted for three touchdowns. Olave should remain involved even when Jarvis Landry (ankle) […]

Alvin Kamara Scores Three Times In Week 8

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara had his best game of the season during Sunday's win over the Raiders. He had 62 yards off 18 carries while catching nine of his 10 targets for 96 yards. Even better, Kamara not only scored for the first time in 2022-23, but he had three total touchdowns. […]

Andy Dalton Leads Saints To The Win Over Vegas

New Orleans Saints quarterback Andy Dalton helped snap his team's two-game losing streak on Sunday in the win over the Raiders. The veteran played well, throwing for 229 yards and two touchdowns while completing just over 73% of his attempts.

Jordan Davis Believed To Have Suffered High-Ankle Sprain

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jordan Davis (ankle) is believed to have sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Steelers.
