Donovan Mitchell Questionable On Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) may not play against the Lakers. Mitchell has had a fantastic season, averaging a career-high 31.1 points. However, he tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's overtime win over the Boston Celtics and missed Friday's meeting with the Pistons. With Darius Garland (knee) questionable, Jarrett Allen, Evan Mobley, Kevin Love, and […]

Darius Garland Questionable Versus The Lakers

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. Smith returned for Wednesday's overtime win over Boston after missing time with an eye laceration. However, he suffered a knee injury in that one and didn't play against the Detroit Pistons. With Donovan Mitchell (ankle) in danger of […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Injures Ankle On Saturday Night

Charlotte Hornets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) didn't return to Saturday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The 2017 No. 9 overall pick lasted only seven minutes before succumbing to a sprained left ankle. It's unfortunate timing for Smith, primarily since he has averaged 11.6 points, 6.2 assists, and 2.2 steals while shooting 42.9% from deep […]

Isaiah Likely Aims To Duplicate Week 8 Performance

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely finished with six catches for 77 yards during the Week 8 win over the Bucs. Even better, he scored his first career touchdown. The rookie is hoping to duplicate that performance on Monday night versus the New Orleans Saints. There's a strong possibility he'll remain involved, mainly with Rashod […]

Devin Duvernay May Be Preferred Receiving Option In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay has had a better year than most anticipated. He's already amassed four touchdowns, surpassing his total from last season. Rashod Bateman (foot) is out for the remainder of the year, so Duvernay was expected to see an uptick in attention from Lamar Jackson. However, with Mark Andrews (knee/shoulder) and […]

Kenyan Drake A Flex Option In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake had 119 yards and a touchdown off 10 touches during the Week 6 loss to the Giants. Since then, he's logged 18 carries for 67 yards. However, Gus Edwards (hamstring) isn't expected to suit up in Week 9 versus the New Orleans Saints, so Drake will likely be the […]

Lamar Jackson Remains A Must-Start Despite Hobbled Offense

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson accounted for 12 touchdowns in the first three weeks of the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's totaled only five in as many games since then. The signal-caller has an uphill battle to produce in Week 9 versus New Orleans. Rashod Bateman (foot) is done for the year, while Gus Edwards (hamstring) […]

Cole Kmet Not A Good Option Against Miami

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet hasn't had a good season. While he finally caught his first touchdown of the 2022-23 campaign in Week 8 versus Dallas, he still has only 14 catches for 159 yards. Fantasy managers shouldn't trust him, so he doesn't deserve to be in any fantasy lineup against the Dolphins. This […]

Darnell Mooney Still Looking For The End Zone

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney has turned his season around. The wideout had just eight catches in the first four games of 2022-23. However, he's caught 17 in his previous four contests. The one-two punch of David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert has recently enhanced the Bears' rushing attack, taking some pressure off Justin Fields. […]

Khalil Herbert A Viable Flex Option In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert continues to split time with David Montgomery. While the latter is on the field more often, the former has been more productive in 2022-23. Herbert looked good in Week 8 in the meeting with Dallas, finishing with 16 carries for 99 yards and a touchdown. Although Montgomery will remain […]

David Montgomery Can't Be Trusted In Week 9

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery hasn't been a consistent fantasy option this season. He's amassed 100 yards on the ground just once and has just two touchdowns. Khalil Herbert's presence has continuously threatened Montgomery's workload. However, the latter should remain the No. 1 option against the Dolphins in Week 9. With that said, the […]

Justin Fields Draws Favorable Matchup In Week 9

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields threw for two touchdowns against a potent Cowboys defense in Week 8. Although he only amassed 151 yards, he still completed nearly 74% of his throws, his highest of the 2022-23 campaign. The 23-year-old is playing better than he did to begin the season, and the one-two punch of David […]

Al Horford Dealing With Back Stiffness

Boston Celtics center Al Horford (back) won't play against the Knicks. The veteran logged 33 minutes on Friday night versus the Bulls, so it's likely he's just getting the night off to rest. As a result, Noah Vonleh could move into the starting lineup. However, he's averaged only 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 points this season, […]

Trae Young Questionable Versus Pelicans

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (eye) is questionable ahead of the matchup versus the Pelicans. The 24-year-old sustained a bruised left eye during Wednesday's win over the Knicks and is questionable. Dejounte Murray will likely carry the load on the offensive end if Young isn't available. De'Andre Hunter and John Collins would also get more […]

Ben Simmons Remains Out On Saturday Versus Charlotte

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) remains out for Saturday's game versus Charlotte. The 26-year-old will now miss his fourth consecutive contest as he deals with left knee soreness. Fortunately, a recent MRI came back clean, so he could be back for Monday's matchup in Dallas. Nonetheless, with Kyrie Irving (suspension) also out, the Nets […]

Seth Curry Off The Injury Report

Brooklyn Nets guard Seth Curry (rest) is not listed on the team's injury report ahead of Saturday's meeting with Charlotte. The 32-year-old didn't play on Friday night versus the Wizards for load management as he continues to ramp up his minutes after ankle surgery in the offseason. With Kyrie Irving (suspension) and Ben Simmons (knee) […]

De'Aaron Fox Will Return Against Orlando

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) will play on Saturday night and is expected to start. The 24-year-old logged only nine minutes on Monday night versus the Hornets because of a knee contusion and missed the team's next game against the Miami Heat. Fox has played well this season, averaging 25.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and […]

Jalen Suggs Will Start Versus Kings

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs will start versus the Sacramento Kings. While Terrence Ross (knee) will return after missing one game with a knee contusion, Suggs will continue to receive additional work. The 21-year-old has averaged 16.7 points in his three appearances in the starting lineup this season, so he'll have plenty to offer fantasy […]

Terrence Ross Available On Saturday Night

Orlando Magic guard Terrence Ross (knee) is available versus the Sacramento Kings. The 31-year-old missed the team's previous contest against the Warriors because of a knee contusion. Ross has started in eight games this season and averaged 10.1 points in 27.5 minutes per game. However, he'll come off the bench for this one, allowing Jalen […]

Pascal Siakam Suffers Groin Injury

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (groin) suffered a right groin strain during Friday's loss to Dallas. The 28-year-old sustained the injury near the end of the third quarter. He did not return. The timing couldn't be worse for Siakam, who has averaged a career-high 25.6 points, 9.6 rebounds, and 7.9 assists this season. But now, […]

Samaje Perine Off The Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine (finger) was removed from the injury report and doesn't carry a designation ahead of Sunday's meeting with the Panthers. Considering Perine has practiced in full all week, his status for Week 9 was never really in question. While the 27-year-old will continue to support Joe Mixon, he has room […]

Jarvis Landry Practices Again On Friday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) practiced again on Friday. The veteran has been out since Week 4, and while he was limited for a second straight day, he appears to be moving in the right direction. Despite the positive update, his status remains uncertain for Monday night's meeting with the Baltimore Ravens. […]

Demarcus Robinson Limited On Friday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (groin) logged a limited practice on Friday. The wideout is dealing with a groin injury, although his status for Monday night's matchup versus New Orleans is up in the air. Robinson looked good during the Week 8 win over the Bucs, finishing with six catches for 64 yards, his […]

De'Aaron Fox Questionable Against The Magic

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (knee) is questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Orlando Magic. Fox exited Monday night's game versus the Charlotte Hornets after sustaining a bone bruise in his right knee and didn't suit up for Thursday's meeting with Miami. He appears to be trending in the right direction, so there's a good […]

Torrey Craig Will Play Against Portland

Phoenix Suns forward Torrey Craig (heel) is available on Friday against Portland. The 31-year-old was riding a questionable tag heading into the one because of a left heel contusion. However, he's good to go. Craig has averaged 5.4 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in seven games this season. Yet, he's only been playing just […]

Deandre Ayton Will Return On Friday Night

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) will return for Friday's matchup versus the short-handed Trail Blazers. The 2018 No. 1 overall pick has missed his previous two games because of a sprained left ankle. It's unknown if Ayton will see his usual workload, especially if this one gets out of hand. However, fantasy managers should […]

Fred VanVleet Out On Friday Versus Mavs

Toronto Raptors guard Fred VanVleet (back) remains out for Friday's contest versus the Dallas Mavericks. VanVleet appeared to have a chance at suiting up for this one. However, he will now miss his third straight contest. As a result, Pascal Siakam, Gary Trent Jr., Scottie Barnes, and OG Anunoby should all continue to see an […]

Darius Garland Out Against Detroit

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (knee) isn't available for Friday's matchup against Detroit. Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is also out. Fortunately, neither man's injury is considered serious, so there's a chance they could be back versus the Lakers on Sunday. In the meantime, Isaac Okoro and Dean Wade will start, although both are risky fantasy options. […]

Donovan Mitchell Out On Friday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) won't play on Friday versus Detroit. He injured his ankle during the first half of Wednesday's overtime win over the Boston Celtics, so the update isn't surprising. Darius Garland (knee) is out as well, so Caris LeVert is expected to be the primary ball-handler. Isaac Okoro will enter the […]

MRI Comes Back Clean For Ben Simmons

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 […]
