Is Darius Garland Playing Tonight, or Injured? Fantasy Basketball Injury News

Darius Garland had plenty of hype coming out of college, even though he played sparingly during his single season at Vanderbilt. Fortunately, front offices around the National Basketball Association realized his potential, so his small sample size at the collegiate level didn't stop the Cavaliers from taking him with the No. 5 overall selection of […]

Justin Fields Struggles Passing In Week 17

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields had a tough time throwing the ball during Sunday's blowout loss to the Lions. The signal-caller completed just seven of his 21 attempts while adding one touchdown and one interception. However, he looked fantastic running the ball, amassing 132 yards off 10 carries. With the Bears' season unofficially finished, it […]

Calais Campbell Inactive On Sunday Night

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Calais Campbell (knee) is inactive for Sunday's AFC North meeting with Pittsburgh. The veteran needs one more sack to reach 100 for his career. However, Campbell will now miss his second consecutive game because of a left knee injury, so he'll need to wait another week before getting another chance at […]

Damarri Mathis Suffers Concussion Against The Chiefs

Denver Broncos cornerback Damarri Mathis (head) did not return to Sunday's loss to the Chiefs after suffering a concussion. The rookie ranks second on the team with seven passes defensed while amassing 61 total tackles. He'll need to clear concussion protocol before he's eligible to suit up in Week 18 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. […]

Lamarcus Joyner Won't Return On Sunday

New York Jets safety Lamarcus Joyner (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Entering Week 17, the 32-year-old was leading the team with three interceptions while amassing 55 total tackles. If the Jets don't secure a win over Seattle, it's possible Joyner won't be back for the […]

Dante Pettis Does Not Return In Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis (head) didn't return to Sunday's trouncing by the Lions. The veteran entered this one with an injury designation because of an ankle issue. However, he was forced to exit for a concussion evaluation. Although everything checked out, Pettis was taken to the hospital as a precaution. He would finish […]

Tyler Lockett Questionable To Return Against The Jets

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (leg) is questionable to return to Sunday's meeting with the New York Jets. The wideout dealt with a finger injury heading into this one, so adding another injury isn't ideal. Lockett wasn't very involved before suffering the injury, so he'll finish with two catches for 15 yards if he […]

Skyy Moore Suffers Hand Injury In Week 17

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore (hand) finished Sunday's narrow win over the Seahawks by catching three of his four targets for 33 yards. Unfortunately, the rookie sustained a hand injury in the fourth quarter and did not return. Moore had high expectations entering his inaugural campaign. However, he's amassed only 19 catches for […]

James Conner Injured Late In Loss To Atlanta

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner finished with a team-high 16 carries for 79 yards during Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He also contributed three catches for 31 yards. Unfortunately, the veteran suffered a shin injury late in this one, allowing Corey Clement to compile 32 yards off seven touches. Conner will likely have further […]

Jordyn Brooks Out For Rest Of Week 17

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Jordyn Brooks (knee) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Jets. He suffered a knee injury, requiring assistance to the locker room with the cart. The 25-year-old entered Week 17 with a team-high 157 total tackles, with five passes defensed and one sack. Hopefully, he didn't suffer anything too serious, but IDP […]

Chase Claypool Likely To Play In Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool (knee) is expected to suit up in Sunday's NFC North showdown with the Lions. He hasn't played since Week 13. However, considering how unproductive Claypool has been in his five games with the Bears, amassing 12 catches for 111 yards, he's not recommended for any fantasy lineup, even with […]

Chris Olave Expected To Play Against Philly

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (hamstring) is expected to suit up against the Eagles, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The rookie didn't play in the Week 16 meeting with the Cleveland Browns. However, he practiced during the week, so the latest update isn't surprising. Olave has played well throughout his inaugural campaign, […]

Christian Watson To Test Injury Pre-Game

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hip) remains questionable ahead of Sunday's NFC North meeting with the Vikings. However, he will test things out pre-game before a decision is made concerning his availability. The rookie has emerged as one of Aaron Rodgers' favorite targets, accumulating seven touchdowns in the last six games. With the […]

Trevor Lawrence Expected To Be Under Center On Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (toe) is expected to play on Sunday against the Texans. The signal-caller practiced in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday after sitting out Wednesday's session. However, he should be good to go, barring a setback. Although there's a chance Lawrence could be restricted in some ways because of the […]

Tyler Higbee Expected To Play On Sunday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (elbow) is anticipated to suit up for the Week 17 matchup with the Chargers. The 29-year-old is coming off a nine-catch, two-score performance against the Broncos, bringing his total to three touchdowns in the last two games. It appears Baker Mayfield has taken a liking to Higbee, so […]

Hunter Henry Likely To Play Against Miami

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is expected to play on Sunday against Miami. The veteran injured his knee in the Christmas Eve loss to Cincinnati and was limited at practice during the week. However, he should be on the field in Week 17. With Jonnu Smith (concussion) ruled out, Henry should see […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Expected To Play In Week 17

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is expected to play on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. He has been dealing with an ankle injury for the last few weeks. While the 24-year-old hasn't missed any time, he amassed only 30 yards off 13 attempts during the Christmas Eve loss to Cincinnati. Although it's […]

Sony Michel Waived By The Chargers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Sony Michel was waived by the team on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old signed with LA in August after a brief stint with the Dolphins. Yet, he wasn't productive during his tenure with the bolts, compiling only 106 yards off 36 carries in 10 appearances. Michel will […]

Trey Lance Undergoes Second Surgery On Friday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Trey Lance (ankle) underwent a second surgery on his right ankle, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, it was done to remove the "hardware" placed during his initial procedure and isn't expected to "affect his ability to prepare for the 2023 season." The 2021 No. 3 overall selection appeared in only […]

Devin Vassell Out Against Dallas

San Antonio Spurs guard Devin Vassell (knee) won't play on Saturday against Dallas. Vassell has been battling a sore left knee for the entire season, so he'll now miss his second consecutive contest. As a result, Romeo Langford, who has averaged 9.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.1 steals in eight starts this year, will likely […]

Darius Garland Questionable On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (thumb) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with Chicago. He suffered a thumb injury during Thursday's matchup against Indiana, causing him to miss Friday's practice. Donovan Mitchell will slide over to the point if Garland doesn't play, while Caris LeVert would presumably enter the starting unit and take over at the […]

Tee Higgins Looks To Extend Scoring Streak

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been on a roll of late, catching a touchdown in each of his previous four games. Ja'Marr Chase returned in Week 12 against the Chiefs after missing time with a hip injury. However, Higgins has flourished with opposing defenses paying more attention to Chase. While the Bills defense […]

Ja'Marr Chase Aims To Lead Bengals To Eighth Straight Win

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has been an effective fantasy despite missing four games due to a hip injury. Since returning for the AFC Championship rematch with the Chiefs in Week 13, the wideout has caught 32 of his 47 targets for 355 yards and two touchdowns. Despite a tough battle with the Bills […]

Joe Mixon Looks To Snap Scoring Drought In Week 17

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon hasn't looked like the player he was during the 2021-22 campaign. The former Sooner totaled 16 touchdowns last season. However, he has half that heading into Week 17. In all fairness, he did miss time with a concussion. But still, fantasy managers had hoped for more, especially considering Mixon […]

Joe Burrow With A Tough Week 17 Matchup On Tap

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow had been a top fantasy-signal caller for nearly the entire season. However, he's been at his best throughout the Bengals' current seven-game winning streak. The former LSU Tiger has thrown 17 touchdowns during that span, with only six interceptions, while amassing 1,931 yards and completing 68.7% of his throws. There […]

Shane Zylstra A Desperation Streaming Option For Week 17

Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra was the star of Week 16, catching three touchdowns in the loss to the Panthers. While that immediately put the 26-year-old on the fantasy radar, he has been hardly involved all season, amassing only five receptions (and a touchdown) heading into the matchup against Carolina. However, Zylstra's productive performance […]

Noah Fant Good To Go In Week 17

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the New York Jets, meaning he will play. He didn't practice on Wednesday but did take part in Thursday's session, albeit in a limited capacity, so he appeared to be trending in this direction all along. The […]

Cade Otton Will Suit Up Against Carolina

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (quadriceps) was removed from the injury report, meaning he'll play on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. There wasn't much doubt, especially since he was a full participant in practice on Thursday and Friday. The 23-year-old hasn't been the most productive fantasy performer this season, compiling 39 receptions for […]

Tommy Tremble Questionable For Pivotal NFC South Matchup

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (hip) is questionable for Sunday's critical meeting with the Buccaneers. The 22-year-old was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. However, considering he was available for a full practice on Friday is a positive sign that he should be good to go. Tremble hasn't done much this season, so […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Has Another Stellar Showing On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo helped his team snap a four-game skid by amassing a huge double-double on Friday against Minnesota. The multi-time MVP scored 43 points, going 14-for-23 from the field and adding 20 rebounds, five assists, two blocks, and a steal. He also had a decent showing at the charity stripe, sinking 14 […]
