Steven Adams Questionable For Wednesday Night

Houston Rockets center Steven Adams (knee, calf) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran, who missed the 2023-24 campaign, was traded to Houston in February. While he's expected to continue providing leadership to a young, up-and-coming club, he will come off the bench behind Alperen Sengun, so he'll have a tough […]

Grayson Allen Expected To Play On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns forward Grayson Allen (Achilles) is anticipated to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The former Duke Blue Devil has been dealing with Achilles soreness and is uncertain to go for the Suns' opener. However, barring a setback, he should be good to go. Allen is coming off the best […]

Mark Williams Making Progress

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (foot) has resumed on-court activities. Unfortunately, he remains without a return date, with the Hornets planning to provide an update "when appropriate." The 2022 No. 15 overall pick appeared in only 19 games last season. Unfortunately, he strained a tendon in his foot nearly a month ago while working his […]

Kelly Olynyk Ruled Out Against Cleveland

Toronto Raptors forward/center Kelly Olynyk (back) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers. The veteran is battling a back issue, although it's unknown when he'll be ready to play.

Bruce Brown Sidelined For The Opener

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown (knee) won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers. He remains without a return date. The 28-year-old is coming off arthroscopic knee surgery.

RJ Barrett Officially Out On Wednesday

The former Duke Blue Devil suffered an AC joint sprain a few weeks ago and has been working his way back since. He was hoping to be ready for the opener. However, that won't happen. Fortunately, he's been increasing his activity […]

Jaden Hardy, Mavs Agree On Contract Extension

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract extension with the team.

Although Hardy gives Dallas a reliable bench option, he'll likely have a tough time entering […]

The 24-year-old had a decent rookie campaign in 2023-24, averaging 8.3 points and 3.3 assists (13.1 points and 4.7 assists in 11 starts). While he'll come off the bench, there is potential for some starts this season, considering Cade Cunningham has […]

Pistons Exercise Team Option On Ausar Thompson

The Pistons picked up the third-year team option on forward Ausar Thompson (illness) on Monday. Thompson, selected with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, averaged 8.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. However, he shot a rough 18.6% from behind the arc. Even worse, a blood clot ended his season abruptly. […]

Detroit Picks Up Option On Jalen Duren

The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option on center Jalen Duren on Monday. The 20-year-old averaged a double-double last season (13.8 points, 11.6 rebounds). He also significantly improved his free-throw percentage from his rookie campaign. While the franchise sees potential in Duren, he hasn't logged more than 67 games in each of his first two seasons […]

Pistons Exercise Option For Jaden Ivey

The Pistons exercised the fourth-year option for guard Jaden Ivey on Monday. The 22-year-old is coming off a rough season, where he spent some time coming off the bench. However, he wasn't horrible, averaging 15.4 points, 3.8 assists, and 3.4 rebounds. But fantasy managers have plenty of reasons to be optimistic about Ivey's potential heading […]

Zack Moss Fizzles Versus The Browns

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss had only seven yards off six touches in Sunday's win over the division-rival Browns. He added three catches for 33 yards. It's clear backfield mate Chase Brown is the preferred runner out of the backfield for Cincy, resulting in another subpar showing for Moss. The 26-year-old does have three […]

Chase Brown Cools Off In Week 7

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 44 yards off 15 carries in the win over the Browns on Sunday. He added two catches for nine yards.

Ja'Marr Chase Scores Again On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns. The former LSU Tiger was relatively quiet in Week 6 against the Giants.

Tee Higgins Has Another Quality Showing On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins caught four of his eight targets for 82 yards in Sunday's win over the Browns. He also scored a touchdown, finding the end zone off a 25-yard throw from Joe Burrow in the third quarter. The wideout has looked great since returning from the hamstring injury that kept him […]

Joe Burrow Leads The Bengals To Another Win

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 181 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. The signal-caller was relatively quiet in the Week 6 win over the New York Giants.

Cooper Kupp Expected Back On Thursday Night

According to Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay, wide receiver Cooper Kupp (ankle) is expected to return for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Brandon Aiyuk May Have A Torn ACL

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) exited Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after taking a hit to the knee in the first half.

Roman Wilson Inactive For Sunday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's meeting with the New York Jets. The 23-year-old made his debut against the Raiders, although he didn't do anything on the statistical end. But Wilson is now battling a hamstring injury, so he'll be back on the shelf for Week 7. He wasn't a […]

Tyler Conklin Will Suit Up In Week 7

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin (hip) will play on Sunday night against the Steelers. The veteran was questionable for this one because of a hip injury. However, he carried the same designation ahead of the Week 6 matchup with the Bills, so this update isn't surprising. With that said, Conklin has only 19 […]

Panthers "Committed" To Andy Dalton

Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton threw for 93 yards and two interceptions off 11-for-16 passing in Sunday's blowout to the Washington Commanders. Nothing was going right for the Panthers offense in Week 7, resulting in Bryce Young entering late when the game was out of reach. As a result, many wondered if Young would be […]

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Could Have Avoided Significant Injury

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Cleveland Browns quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson (finger) may have avoided a severe injury. However, his availability moving forward will be determined based on "how he responds to treatment and how he can grip a football." With Deshaun Watson (Achilles) going down in the Week 7 meeting with the Bengals, DTR […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Done For The Remainder Of Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. The wideout entered this contest carrying an injury designation, so it appears he wasn't ready to get on the field after coming off a huge seven-catch, 130-yard outing in Week 5 against the Saints. It's unknown if he'll be […]

Aaron Jones Plays Well In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones entered Sunday's matchup with the Lions by carrying an injury designation because of a hamstring injury.

While the 29-year-old hadn't […]

Deebo Samuel Sr. Now Out Versus The Chiefs

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout didn't feel well heading into Week 7, and it didn't take long before he was on the sidelines because of his condition. He'll finish the day without appearing in the box score. With Brandon […]

Deebo Samuel Sr. Questionable To Return In Week 7

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. The wideout was under the weather entering the contest, so he wasn't on the field long before requiring oxygen on the sidelines. If he doesn't return, he'll finish without making any statistical contributions for […]

Brandon Aiyuk Carted To The Locker Room, Won't Return On Sunday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was carted to the locker room after the first half of Sunday's matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. He won't return.
