Amen Thompson Doesn't Return On Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward Amen Thompson (ankle) exited early in Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. The 2023 No. 4 overall pick logged only 13 minutes before his premature departure because of a sprained right ankle, finishing with just four points. Houston doesn't play again until Saturday night against the Sacramento Kings, so there's a chance […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable Against Brooklyn

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Brooklyn. He's battling a right knee issue, although fantasy managers are used to his various ailments through the years. But considering Butler hasn't played the best this season, averaging just 15.3 points in three games, it's possible things are worse than most realize. […]

Cameron Johnson Won't Return On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) won't play in Wednesday's meeting with the Heat. It's anyone's guess how long the former Sun will remain sidelined, although fantasy managers may also be without him for Friday's matchup with Chicago and Saturday's contest against Boston. Fortunately, Dorian Finney-Smith, averaging 15.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and shooting 50.0% from […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Unlikely To Suit Up Against Miami

Brooklyn Nets forward Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) isn't expected to suit up on Wednesday night in Miami. The veteran sprained his left ankle in Monday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, so he could be looking at an extended absence, including missing either or both of Brooklyn's back-to-back games on Friday and Saturday. The Nets are still […]

Jalen Duren Gets A Questionable Tag Against Portland

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 19-year-old had played at an All-Star level in his first four games of the 2023-24 campaign, averaging 15.5 points, 13.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. However, with Detroit playing consecutive contests on Wednesday and Thursday, head coach Monty Williams […]

Nicolas Claxton Still Out On Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) is out ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Heat. The 24-year-old appeared in the Nets' opener against the Cleveland Cavaliers, accruing seven points, seven rebounds, and three blocks. Unfortunately, he's been sidelined since due to a sprained ankle, and there's a chance he may miss more games moving forward, […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return On Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) has already been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Spurs. The veteran is battling a back issue and hasn't played yet this season. Phoenix is looking to get him healthy and keep him that way in hopes of capturing an NBA championship, meaning the team will take […]

Devin Booker Unlikely To Play Versus The Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) isn't expected to play on Tuesday against the San Antonio Spurs. Booker was in the lineup for the opener versus Golden State, finishing with 32 points, eight assists, and six boards. Fantasy managers were undoubtedly thrilled with that performance. However, things came crashing down when it was revealed that […]

Donovan Mitchell In Danger Of Missing Another Game

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell may miss Tuesday's contest against the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old was absent from Saturday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers because of a hamstring issue. Darius Garland (hamstring) and Jarrett Allen (ankle) weren't available either, opening the door for Max Strus and Caris LeVert to combine for 51 points. Garland […]

Jarrett Allen Still Not Ready To Play

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (ankle) is out again for Tuesday's matchup against the visiting New York Knicks. Allen hasn't played this season, missing the team's first three contests. In addition, Cleveland won't have Darius Garland (hamstring), and there's also a chance Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) will miss another one. Fantasy managers should expect Evan Mobley, […]

James Wiseman Probable On Monday

Detroit Pistons center James Wiseman (finger) is expected to suit up on Monday in Oklahoma City. The 2020 No. 2 overall pick hasn't done anything for fantasy managers this season, considering he's been held off the floor by head coach Monty Williams. As a result, Wiseman isn't someone to consider using in any fantasy setup, […]

Santi Aldama Will Miss Another Game

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (ankle) remains out for Monday's contest against Dallas. The 22-year-old has yet to make his 2023-24 debut because of a sprained ankle, so his next chance to play will be on Wednesday night in Utah. Aldama is expected to see routine minutes for Memphis this season, especially since the team […]

Zach LaVine Likely To Play Against Indiana

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is probable for Monday's meeting with the Pacers. The 28-year-old is battling back spasms and appeared on the injury report ahead of Saturday's loss to the Detroit Pistons. However, he scored 51 points in that one, so the issue didn't impact him too much. Assuming LaVine plays, he's a […]

Nicolas Claxton Remains Out Against Charlotte

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) won't play in Monday's game against Charlotte. The 24-year-old was in the lineup for the season opener versus the Cleveland Cavaliers. However, he didn't suit up for Friday's loss to Dallas, prompting head coach Jacque Vaughn to rely on Ben Simmons, who narrowly missed a triple-double, to handle things […]

Cameron Johnson Out Again On Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Cameron Johnson (calf) remains out on Monday night against the Charlotte Hornets. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Friday against the Dallas Mavericks, opening the door for Dorian Finney-Smith to enter the starting lineup and finish with 12 points and seven boards while going 4-for-7 from deep. It's hard to tell how […]

Tyler Boyd Scores Again In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd had three catches for 40 yards and a touchdown in the Week 8 meeting with the 49ers. The wideout hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season. However, he has scored twice in his last two games, so his season hasn't been a total disaster. Boyd should cool […]

Tee Higgins Has A Decent Showing In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had five catches for 69 yards in Sunday's win over the 49ers. Higgins hasn't had the best season, considering he has underperformed while missing time due to a rib injury. But the wideout, who had just two catches in each of his last three games, was productive, so it […]

Ja'Marr Chase Has A Big Game On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase looked great in Sunday's 31-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. The wideout caught 10 of his 12 targets for 100 yards. He also scored a touchdown, bringing in a 17-yard pass from Joe Burrow at the start of the fourth quarter. The Bengals were off in Week 7, […]

Joe Mixon Scores A Touchdown In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had arguably his best outing of the year in Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. The former Sooner had a season-high 87 yards off 16 carries. More importantly, he scored a touchdown while adding three catches for 23 yards. Fantasy managers have been frustrated with Mixon's lackluster play […]

Joe Burrow Leads Cincinnati To Another Win In Week 8

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow led his team to the win over the 49ers in Week 8. The 2020 No. 1 overall pick had a big day, throwing 283 yards and three touchdowns off 28-for-32 passing. He added six carries for 43 yards. It's apparent that the week off did Burrow and the Bengals some […]

Tyrod Taylor To Stay In The Hospital Overnight

New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (ribs) will remain in the hospital overnight for observation. The veteran signal-caller injured his ribs in the second quarter of Sunday's meeting with the New York Jets, resulting in Tommy Devito taking over under center. However, DeVito finished with negative yardage off 2-for-7 passing, so the Giants are in […]

Deshaun Watson "Will Be Back When He's Ready"

According to Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) "will be back when he's ready." ESPN's Adam Schefter recently reported the signal-caller isn't facing a "long-term absence." However, Stefanski's postgame comment didn't add any more clarity on when fantasy managers can expect Watson back on the field. Of course, the immediate question remains […]

Joshua Palmer Active On Sunday Night

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) is active for Sunday's clash with the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old was riding a questionable designation and missed a few practices during the week before being limited in Friday's session. Fortunately, he's good to go. With Gerald Everett (hip) out, Palmer could see a few extra looks […]

Gerald Everett Ruled Out On Sunday Night

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (hip) won't play on Sunday night against Chicago. The veteran injured his hip in the Week 7 meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. It's unfortunate timing, considering he had two touchdowns in the last two games. But Everett was trending in a favorable direction heading into this one, […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Questionable To Return Against Arizona

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (stomach) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the Cardinals. The veteran wideout took a hard hit from safety Budda Baker in the third quarter and suffered a stomach contusion. Judging by how things looked immediately after the injury, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Beckham doesn't […]

Ja'Whaun Bentley Injures Hamstring In Week 8

New England Patriots linebacker Ja'Whaun Bentley (hamstring) didn't return to the Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The 27-year-old had a team-high 49 total tackles entering Sunday's contest, so New England certainly hopes the hamstring injury doesn't keep him out in Week 9 against the Washington Commanders. That said, Bentley will likely appear on […]

DeVante Parker Doesn't Return In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (head) didn't return to Sunday's AFC East clash with the Miami Dolphins. The wideout had just one catch for 14 yards before suffering a controversial hit in the third quarter that ended his day. It certainly wasn't good timing, considering the Patriots also lost Kendrick Bourne (knee). Nonetheless, […]

Damien Williams Questionable To Return Against Baltimore

Arizona Cardinals running back Damien Williams (foot) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens. The 31-year-old would finish with just five yards off two carries and four yards off one catch if he doesn't return. But with Emari Demercado the primary rusher out of the backfield, Williams' status for the remainder of […]

Jalen Hurts Still Battling A Knee Issue

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had a fantastic showing in Sunday's narrow win over the Washington Commanders. He threw for 319 yards and four touchdowns off 29-for-38 passing. While fantasy managers are undoubtedly pleased with the performance, there is still a cause for concern, considering Hurts has battled a bone bruise in his knee for […]

Desmond Ridder Not Benched For Poor Performance

According to Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith, the team remains confident in the abilities of quarterback Desmond Ridder. The signal-caller didn't look the best in the Week 8 loss to the Titans, going 8-for-12 for 71 yards and adding three carries for 26 yards before being replaced by Taylor Heinicke. While those numbers aren't […]
