Amon-Ra St. Brown A Game-Time Call On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is considered a game-time call, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Jared Goff could certainly use him versus the Pats in Week 5, especially since D.J. Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) won't be on the field. If St. Brown plays, he'll likely receive a generous helping […]

Josh Reynolds In Line To Play Against Pats

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds (ankle) is likely to suit up for the Week 5 meeting with the New England Patriots. That's good news, primarily since D.J. Chark (ankle) and Quintez Cephus (foot) aren't available for this one. However, if Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is also ruled out, Reynolds will become a must-start in […]

Barring A Setback, Jaylen Waddle Will Play In Week 5

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) will play in Week 5 against the Jets, barring a setback, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. While there was a chance the wideout would miss this one after logging two-straight limited practices during the week, he didn't appear to be in any real danger of sitting […]

Tyreek Hill Likely Good To Go For AFC East Battle

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (quadriceps) is expected to suit up for Sunday's AFC East showdown with the New York Jets. The veteran didn't practice on Wednesday but managed to log limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, so it's undoubtedly good news for a team that will enter Week 5 without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. […]

Alvin Kamara Likely To Return In Week 5

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ribs) is expected to play on Sunday versus Seattle, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The veteran, who missed his previous two games, was limited in practice throughout the week and had been riding a questionable tag. Despite Kamara's subpar production this season, he should be classified as […]

Draymond Green Hopes To Play In Season-Opener

Golden States Warriors forward Draymond Green hopes to play in the season-opener versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The veteran has taken a leave from the team just days after a viral video leaked showing the multi-time All-Star punching Jordan Poole in the face during practice. Although the Warriors haven't levied an official punishment, there is […]

Jaxson Hayes Suffers Torn UCL

New Orleans Pelicans forward Jaxson Hayes (elbow) suffered a torn UCL in his left elbow during Friday's preseason outing versus Detroit. He will miss at least two weeks before being re-evaluated.

The former Gonzaga Bulldog averaged […]

Anthony Davis Practices on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (back) returned to practice on Saturday. Davis has been dealing with lower back tightness and has already missed time this preseason.

Devin Duvernay May See More Action Against Cincy

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay has certainly exceeded expectations this season. The 25-year-old has three touchdowns in 2022-23 (four, if you count a kickoff return) and is also averaging 14.3 yards per catch. With Rashod Bateman (ankle) sidelined for the Sunday Night Football showdown versus the Bengals, Devernay may see extra attention from Lamar […]

FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 5 - Daily Fantasy Football

Just like that, it’s Week 5. However, before we move ahead, let’s take a moment to reflect on a wild Week 4, beginning with T.J. Hockenson, who had 179 yards and two touchdowns against the Seahawks. Speaking of, who would have ever thought that Geno Smith and Jared Goff would combine for 698 passing yards […]

Mark Andrews Looking To Bounce Back In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is coming off a rough Week 4 showing versus the Bills, one where he finished with only two receptions for 15 yards. However, considering the weather made things difficult for everyone involved, fantasy managers can forgive him for the subpar outing. With the Bengals on tap in Week 5, […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Rebound Versus Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to put together an MVP-caliber season. Despite a rough showing in Week 4 against the Bills, the 25-year-old continues to get it done through the air and on the ground. That said, there's no reason fantasy managers should keep him out of the starting lineup for the AFC North […]

Tyler Boyd Remains An Adequate Flex Option In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has quietly exceeded expectations in 2022-23. In his four appearances this season, the 28-year-old has 12 catches for 202 yards and two touchdowns. He didn't play the best against Miami at the end of September, catching two passes for 47 yards. However, Boyd is always in the running to […]

Ja'Marr Chase Has Favorable Matchup Ahead In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase hasn't had the most productive season. Despite coming off an exceptional inaugural campaign, the 22-year-old has only surpassed 100 yards in a game just once this season. Even more concerning, Chase has had six catches or less in three of his four appearances. However, the former LSU Tiger has […]

Despite Rough Start, Keep Joe Mixon Going In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon continues to struggle throughout the 2022-23 campaign. While the former Oklahoma Sooner finally had a rushing touchdown, his failure to rush for 100 yards in a game or his shoddy average of 2.7 yards per carry hasn't given fantasy managers a comfortable feeling from week to week. With that […]

Joe Burrow Has History On His Side Against Baltimore

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow has led his team to two-straight victories after going winless to begin the year. The signal-caller is quickly earning the trust of fantasy managers and will look to reestablish himself as a routine must-start option moving ahead. He will have an excellent opportunity to keep things moving in the right […]

Coby White Expected To Play On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (knee) had an MRI after suffering a left knee contusion in the preseason opener versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Fortunately, he didn't sustain any damage, so he will be good to go for Friday's meeting with Denver. The 22-year-old has played three seasons in Chicago since being drafted in 2019. […]

Ayo Dosunmu May Start Until Lonzo Ball Returns

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu may start this season until Lonzo Ball (knee) returns. Dosunmu was selected in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft. He played well in his 77 games as a rookie. However, the 22-year-old was much more productive in 40 appearances in the starting lineup, averaging 10.9 points, 5.4 assists, […]

Malachi Flynn Undergoes Procedure

Toronto Raptors guard Malachi Flynn (cheek) underwent a procedure to repair a cheekbone fracture he suffered during Sunday's game against the Jazz. The 24-year-old averaged only 4.3 points, 1.6 assists, and 1.4 rebounds last season. However, he is expected to see routine minutes in 2022-23 behind Fred VanVleet, so his statistical contributions should increase. Still, […]

Heat Interested In Bringing Back Jae Crowder

The Heat have expressed interest in acquiring Suns forward Jae Crowder, according to Zach Lowe of ESPN. The 32-year-old has suited up for the Suns over the last two seasons. However, after Crowder learned he will likely see a reduced role moving ahead, he requested a trade. The veteran played in Miami briefly during the […]

Sacramento Exercises Option On Davion Mitchell

The Kings have exercised the third-year team option for guard Davion Mitchell on Thursday. The 24-year-old averaged 11.5 points, 4.2 steals, and 2.2 rebounds in 75 games as a rookie last season. However, he played considerably better in 19 games in the starting lineup, posting 18.0 points and 7.4 assists. While Mitchell will likely come […]

Portland Picks Up Option For Keon Johnson

The Trail Blazers picked up the 2023-24 option on guard Keon Johnson. The 20-year-old began last season with the Clippers but was traded to Portland ahead of the deadline. In his 22 appearances for the Trail Blazers, he averaged 9.7 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds. The former first-round pick will likely remain buried on […]

Pascal Siakam Drops 13 Points In Win Over Boston

Toronto Raptors forward/center Pascal Siakam finished with 13 points during the win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. He also added six rebounds, one assist, and one steal. The 28-year-old didn't suit up until November in 2021-22 due to offseason surgery. However, he still had arguably the best year of his career by averaging […]

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid finished with 12 points, six rebounds, and three assists in 18 minutes during the preseason win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

James Harden Has Rough Shooting Night On Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden finished with nine points in 19 minutes during the preseason win over the Cavaliers.

Harden split […]

Jarrett Allen Quiet In Preseason Loss On Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen was quiet during the preseason loss to Philly. The big man saw 16 minutes of action.

Tyrese Maxey Drops Game-High 21 Points In Win

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey scored a game-high 21 points during the preseason win over Cleveland on Wednesday. The 21-year-old efficiently shot the ball, going 9-for-11 from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from deep. He also added two assists and a steal. Maxey had a breakout season in 2021-22, averaging 17.5 points, 4.3 assists, […]

Darius Garland Scores 12 Points In Preseason Loss

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland scored 12 points during Wednesday's preseason loss to Philadelphia. The 22-year-old logged 15 minutes of work and shot 4-for-7 from the field and 1-for-1 from deep while contributing four assists.
