CJ Henderson Won't Return On Sunday

Carolina Panthers cornerback CJ Henderson (head) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The 2020 No. 9 overall pick was initially considered questionable because of a concussion. However, his day is over. With Carolina playing again on Thursday versus the Chicago Bears, the short turnaround may not give Henderson enough time to get […]

Daniel Jones Suffers Knee Injury In Week 9

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (knee) exited the Week 9 meeting with the Raiders. The signal-caller, who has been out since injuring his neck in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins, suffered a knee injury early in the second quarter. But considering he went down with a non-contact injury, Jones may be dealing with […]

Santi Aldama Questionable Against Portland

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Portland. The 22-year-old hasn't played this season because of a sprained ankle. However, the Grizzlies could certainly use him, considering Steven Adams (knee) and Brandon Clarke (Achilles) aren't available. Aldama averaged 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds in 2022-23, so he's expected to play […]

Klay Thompson Might Miss Sunday's Game

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson (groin) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's battling an adductor strain. But with the Warriors also playing on Monday, Thompson may sit out at least one of the games. If that's the case, Chris Paul, who is averaging 12.0 points, 10.5 assists, and 2.5 […]

Precious Achiuwa To Miss Another Game On Sunday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Precious Achiuwa (groin) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the San Antonio Spurs. The 24-year-old has played just three games this season.

Malaki Branham Will Start Versus Toronto

San Antonio Spurs guard/forward Malaki Branham will start on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Devin Vassell (adductor) is day-to-day, so Branham could be rolling with the first five for at least a few games. The 20-year-old usually has value coming off the bench. However, he averaged 12.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 32 starts last […]

Alec Burks Still Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Alec Burks (forearm) won't play against the Phoenix Suns on Sunday. The 32-year-old veteran has had a fantastic season, averaging 15.0 points while shooting 53.8% from behind the arc. Unfortunately, he's been limited to just four games due to a forearm strain, so he may also miss Monday's clash with the Golden […]

Jaden Ivey Under The Weather, Out On Sunday

Detroit Pistons guard Jaden Ivey (illness) is out for Sunday's meeting with the Suns. The 21-year-old hasn't played the best this season, averaging 11.8 points, a significant decrease from the 2022-23 campaign. Even worse, he hasn't started a game this year. With Ivey battling an unknown illness, it's anyone's guess if he'll be back for […]

Devin Vassell Sidelined On Sunday, Likely Out Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (groin) won't play against the Toronto Raptors on Sunday. He also isn't expected to suit up on Monday versus the Indiana Pacers. The 23-year-old, who signed a hefty extension in October, has had a quality season, averaging 19.4 points and shooting 40.7% from behind the arc. He could miss […]

Bradley Beal Won't Return On Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) remains out ahead of Sunday's meeting with Detroit. The former Wizard hasn't played all season because of back spasms, so he has yet to make his official debut with his new squad. It's been a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign for Phoenix, a team that could be without […]

Terry Rozier Questionable Against Dallas

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Mavericks. The 29-year-old has had a quality 2023-24 campaign, averaging a career-high 22 points. However, he suffered a groin injury in Saturday's showdown with the Pacers and is now in danger of missing his first game of the year. Nonetheless, if Rozier […]

Devin Booker Now Dealing With A Calf Issue

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle, calf) won't play in Sunday's matchup with the Detroit Pistons. The 27-year-old played in the opener against the Golden State Warriors. However, he was sidelined for over a week due to an ankle issue before returning for Thursday's loss to San Antonio. Unfortunately, Booker suffered another injury in that […]

DJ Chark Jr. Likely To Suit Up In Week 9

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (elbow) is expected to play in Week 9 versus the Indianapolis Colts. The wideout was limited during practice on Thursday and Friday because of an elbow issue. As a result, he carried a questionable designation heading into this one. Nevertheless, Chark is nowhere near the type of player […]

Josh Downs Intends To Play Against Carolina

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs (knee) intends to play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. The 2023 No. 79 overall pick has made noise throughout his rookie season, catching 40 of his 56 targets for 473 yards. He also has two touchdowns, both occurring in the last three weeks. That said, Downs will test […]

Brett Rypien Likely To Start In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Brett Rypien will likely start on Sunday in Green Bay. Matthew Stafford (thumb) isn't expected to suit up. As a result, head coach Sean McVay will turn to Rypien, who went 5-for-10 for 42 yards after replacing Stafford in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Rypien isn't the worst […]

Jalen Smith Questionable On Saturday Night

Indiana Pacers center Jalen Smith (knee) is questionable ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Hornets. The 23-year-old has logged 16.5 minutes behind Myles Turner this season, averaging 11.8 points and 5.3 rebounds. However, he's battling a knee sprain, so the team may keep him off the floor on Saturday, the second of back-to-back contests. If […]

James Harden Could Face Minutes' Restriction

Los Angeles Clippers guard James Harden is close to debuting with his new team. However, according to head coach Ty Lue, the multi-time MVP's minutes could be monitored, at least until the medical staff is confident he can handle more. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Lue added the minutes' restriction wouldn't be "crazy." There are so […]

Tyrese Haliburton Uncertain For Saturday's Contest

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (ankle) could miss Saturday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets.

While he managed to return on Friday night against Cleveland, the ailment was apparently still impacting him, […]

De'Aaron Fox Still Out On Saturday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (ankle) remains sidelined for Saturday's showdown with the Rockets in Houston. There was talk he may have been back for this meeting. However, it appears that wasn't the case. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 31.3 points in his three appearances this season, meaning fantasy managers would like him back […]

Kobe Bufkin Fractures His Thumb

Atlanta Hawks guard Kobe Bufkin (thumb) was injured while practicing with the College Park Skyhawks on Thursday. X-rays revealed the 2023 No. 15 overall pick sustained a thumb fracture. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks. However, he may miss even more time. Bufkin has played sparingly for the Hawks during the 2023-24 campaign, logging […]

Devin Booker Might Miss Sunday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was held out of Saturday's matinee against the 76ers, the first game of consecutive outings. The 27-year-old has appeared in only two games this season because of an ankle injury. He played at a high level during those appearances, averaging 31.5 points, 10.5 assists, and shooting 53.3% from behind […]

Ben Simmons Resting On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) won't suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. The 27-year-old has had a quality season, averaging 10.0 rebounds, 7.4 points, 7.2 assists, and 1.0 blocks. However, the Nets will play the second of consecutive outings on Saturday, so Simmons will get the night off to rest. […]

Nicolas Claxton Still Out Against Boston

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Celtics. The 24-year-old appears to be nearing a return, so fantasy managers may see him back in the lineup soon, possibly as early as Monday's showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks. But in the meantime, Ben Simmons (rest) will get the night off, meaning […]

Tee Higgins Hard To Trust Against Buffalo

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has a tough challenge on tap versus the Bills on Sunday. It's no secret that the Bengals offense struggled early in the 2023-24 campaign. However, Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase finally turned things around, steering the Bengals to three straight victories. But Higgins still hasn't done much for fantasy […]

Ja'Marr Chase Looking To Lead Cincinnati To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase didn't score in the first four weeks of the 2023-24 campaign. However, he has visited the end zone often of late, scoring four touchdowns in his last three games. While Chase hasn't been as potent as guys like Tyreek Hill or A.J. Brown this season, he hasn't been a […]

Joe Burrow Faces A Tough Challenge In Week 9

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had a rough start to the 2023-24 campaign. However, the signal-caller has finally turned things around and is coming off his best performance of the year, throwing for 283 yards and three touchdowns in the win over the San Francisco 49ers. Even more impressive, he completed 87.5% of his passing […]

Brandon Ingram May Miss Another Game On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (knee) is questionable for Saturday's clash with the Atlanta Hawks. The oft-injured 26-year-old last played nearly a week ago, logging 32 minutes versus the Knicks and amassing 26 points and seven rebounds. At this point, fantasy managers are used to lengthy absences from Ingram, who hasn't played more than […]

Santi Aldama Out Again On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (ankle) remains out on Friday night against Portland. The 22-year-old continues to work his way back from a sprained right ankle. However, he's not ready to return, so he'll miss his fifth game of the 2022-23 campaign. Aldama averaged 9.0 points and 4.8 rebounds last season and is anticipated to […]

Corey Kispert Avoids Serious Injury

Washington Wizards guard Corey Kispert (ankle) wasn't active for Friday's matchup with the Miami Heat. He sprained his left ankle during the loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

Jamal Murray Active Against The Mavericks

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (quadriceps) is active for Friday's in-season tournament matchup against the Dallas Mavericks. The 26-year-old has appeared in every game this season and has played well, as expected, averaging 18.8 points, 7.8 assists, and 46.2% shooting from behind the arc. Without question, Murray should be in every fantasy lineup imaginable. However, […]
