With his first season now behind him, the former LSU […]

Tee Higgins Expected To Be A Top Wideout In Week 1

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins will commence his second season as a professional against the visiting Vikings on Sunday.

While Ja'Marr […]

Joe Mixon Kicking Off Fifth Season Against Vikings

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is surely a must-start option in all fantasy formats against Minnesota. The former Sooner had a miserable 2020 campaign, appearing in only six games because of a foot injury.

Ben Simmons Recently Linked To Cavaliers

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons remains estranged from his current team.

Kevin Love Could See Minimal Playing Time

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love continues to see his stock plummet entering the 2021-22 campaign.

That projection seems plausible, primarily with the team focused on the […]

Michael Porter Jr. Optimistic About Extension

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. Remains optimistic that a contract extension will get done. Porter had his best statistical output as a professional last season, averaging 19.0 points and 7.3 assists while shooting a whopping 44.5 percent from deep. The 23-year-old will be entering the final year of his rookie contract if an agreement […]

Harry Giles III Heading To Los Angeles

Free-agent center Harry Giles III agreed to a non-guaranteed deal with the Clippers on Tuesday.

He has battled injuries over the years, appearing in 38 games last season as a member of the Portland Trail […]

Keita Bates-Diop Remaining In San Antonio

San Antonio Spurs forward Keita Bates-Diop has agreed to a new two-year deal.

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. Warren (foot) remains out indefinitely. The veteran continues to rehab after having surgery back in January to repair a stress fracture in his left foot.

Still, before succumbing to the injury, Howard racked up 11 catches […]

Chris Godwin Update Not Expected Until Warmups

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (quadriceps) will likely be a true game-time call for the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.

Ja’Marr Chase Not Concerned With Preseason Play

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase isn't concerned about his performance during the preseason. During a recent interview, the rookie acknowledged his shortcomings as a professional thus far while also embracing the opportunity to improve.

Joe Burrow Not Concerned About His Knee

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow isn't concerned about his health heading into the regular season. Instead, his attention is focused on leading the franchise to an AFC North title and into the postseason. The sophomore signal-caller was on the cusp of being named the league's Rookie of the Year award winner last year. Yet, after […]

Brandon Aiyuk Unlikely For Double Duty

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (hamstring) continues to practice. However, as he proceeds to recover from a hamstring ailment suffered during the preseason finale, his role during Week 1 may be reserved to a punt returner exclusively. While that could change, it appears as if Deebo Samuel and George Kittle could be in […]

D’Andre Swift “In A Better Spot” Ahead Of Week 1

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) has a better chance to play during the opener against the 49ers. On Monday, head coach Dan Campbell indicated that Swift "is in a better spot," suggesting that he is moving in the right direction. Although the rookie seems to be fully recovered from a nagging groin injury, […]

Kaden Smith Doesn’t Practice On Monday

New York Giants tight end Kaden Smith (undisclosed) didn't practice with the rest of the team on Monday. Instead, he remained on the sidelines. It's unknown why the 24-year-old wasn't a participant, but it certainly isn't good news, primarily with Evan Engram (calf) unlikely to play in Week 1. Nonetheless, Smith's status should be updated […]

Kenny Golladay Trending In The Right Direction

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) participated in individual drills during practice on Monday.

Kyle Rudolph Performs Individual Drills On Monday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) participated in individual drills during practice on Monday.

With Evan Engram (calf) and Kaden Smith (undisclosed) practicing in a […]

Evan Engram Unlikely For Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) appears unlikely to be available for Week 1 against Denver. Engram continues to be plagued by a calf ailment sustained during the preseason finale.

Matt Thomas Agrees To Deal With Chicago

Free-agent guard Matt Thomas agreed to a deal with the Bulls on Monday. The terms of the agreement are undisclosed, and it comes after the 27-year-old was waived by the Jazz around a month ago.

Alize Johnson Clears Waivers, Signs With Bulls

Free-agent forward Alize Johnson agreed to a two-year, $3.6 million deal with the Bulls on Monday.

The 25-year-old appeared in only 18 games with the Nets last year, averaging 5.2 points and […]

Stanley Johnson Heading To Chicago

Free-agent forward Stanley Johnson inked a deal with the Bulls on Monday. The terms of the agreement were undisclosed, although he may not make the final roster altogether.

Heat Pick Up Option On Tyler Herro

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro had his 2022-23 team option exercised. Herro's name was vaguely brought up during trade rumblings throughout the offseason after his numbers declined from his rookie averages. However, it appears that the team has the utmost confidence in his abilities, so he will remain in South Beach for at least a […]

Jonathan Isaac Uncertain When He Will Return

Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac (knee) isn't sure if he will be ready to go when the season begins in October. The 23-year-old missed the entire 2020-21 campaign after tearing his ACL and meniscus in his left knee. Isaac has been a capable producer throughout the years, but his poor health has significantly lowered his […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Returning To Brooklyn

Forward LaMarcus Aldridge agreed to a one-year, $2.6 million deal to return to Brooklyn. The multi-time All-Star was forced into retirement five months ago because of a heart condition. However, Aldridge has been deemed medically cleared, so he will rejoin a Nets team that is undoubtedly looking to make a run toward an NBA Championship. […]

DeAndre Jordan Expected To Sign With Lakers

Free-agent center DeAndre Jordan recently finalized a contract buyout with the Pistons and, upon clearing waivers, is expected to ink a deal with the Lakers.

However, he could […]

Curtis Samuel Practices On Monday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) was on the field and in pads during a practice session on Monday.

Still, fantasy managers should continue to monitor […]

Jamison Crowder Has A Shot To Play In Week 1

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (illness, groin) has a chance to play during the Week 1 opener against the Panthers. The veteran was recently diagnosed with COVID-19. However, because Crowder is vaccinated, he could be activated if he has two negative tests 24 hours apart while showing no symptoms. Still, the 28-year-old continues […]

Tyrod Taylor To Start Week 1

Houston Texans quarterback Tyrod Taylor will start Week 1 against the Jaguars. With Deshaun Watson's availability in limbo moving ahead, Taylor will begin the year under center against one of last season's worst teams in the league. While the 32-year-old veteran certainly has had his share of ups and downs throughout his career, the signal-caller […]

Dalvin Cook Still Among Group Of Unvaccinated Players

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook is one of the league's most elite options out of the backfield. He finished the 2020 season by racking up 1,557 yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground off 312 carries while also adding 44 catches for 361 yards and another score. The 26-year-old has yet to log an […]
