Andrew Nembhard Ruled Out Again on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Andrew Nembhard (shoulder) will miss a sixth consecutive game on Monday after officially being ruled out due to a left shoulder strain. The fourth-year combo guard hasn't been able to play since the season opener, while the Pacers suffer injury after injury. Their guard depth is down to the bottom of their […]

T.J. McConnell Set to Miss Another Game on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard T.J. McConnell (hamstring) has been ruled out on Monday and still won't make his season debut after a hamstring injury during preseason. The veteran point guard isn't being rushed back as the team goes through a rough injury bug to start out the year. While McConnell, Tyrese Haliburton (Achilles), Bennedict Mathurin (toe), […]

Johnny Furphy Listed as Probable Against Bucks

Indiana Pacers guard Johnny Furphy (foot) is likely to play in Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks after drawing a probable tag on the injury report. The second-year guard is in line for plenty of minutes since the team is getting hit hard by the injury bug. Furphy played in their 23 minutes in the […]

Tidjane Salaun Assigned to G-League Affiliate

Charlotte Hornets forward Tidjane Salaun will be heading down to the G League to play with the Greensboro Swarm. Hornets beat writer Rod Boone reports that the team is making the decision ahead of their mini road trip, so he likely won't play in the next two games. Salaun was the sixth-overall pick in the […]

Blake Wesley Diagnosed with Broken Foot

Portland Trail Blazers guard Blake Wesley will be out for the foreseeable future after the fourth-year guard was diagnosed with a fracture of his fifth metatarsal on his right foot. The team said in their statement that a timeline for his return "will be determined at a later date." Wesley was receiving the most playing […]

Anthony Edwards Cleared for Contact in Practice

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is trending in the right direction on Monday. The team announced that the superstar has been cleared for contact in practice, but he will remain out for the time being. ESPN's Shams Charania initially reported that Edwards would be out for two weeks, and he's missed one week so […]

Dylan Harper Exits Arena Sunday in Walking Boot

San Antonio Spurs guard Dylan Harper (calf) exited the team's loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in the second quarter while trying to defend a Nick Richards dunk. The rookie suffered a calf injury of sorts and didn't return to the game. Afterwards, he was seen leaving the arena on crutches and wearing a […]

Chad Ryland Might be Worth a Start in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland has bounced all around the fantasy kicker leaderboards this season, which makes sense given how inconsistent this offense can be. In Week 7, he finished as the K5, which was his highest finish since Week 4. Now, after their bye, the Cardinals are set to take on the Dallas Cowboys, […]

Zay Jones is Not Very Trustworthy in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Zay Jones was cleared from the injury report, but it may not matter in terms of whether or not he's startable in most fantasy leagues. While he has looked better in their last two games with Jacoby Brisset under center, Jones is currently the WR95 on the year, and until those […]

Michael Wilson Not a Playable Option Despite Good Matchup

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has been quite the disappointment so far this season. Through seven games, he still has yet to crack double-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues and hasn't broken into the top 40 either. Even though he has seen nine targets in the two games that Jacoby Brissett has started, that's […]

Michael Carter a Low-End Flex Play in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter has rejoined the team and looks to split most of the carries with Bam Knight again. In their last two games before the bye, Carter saw 20 touches compared to Knight's 29, so he should still see some action even though Emari Demercado has been cleared from the injury […]

Trey McBride Still an Elite Option Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride continues to be a set-it-and-forget-it type of player as he enters Week 9 as the overall TE4. In his last game before their Week 8 bye, McBride posted a huge game with 10 catches for 74 yards and two touchdowns. Whether it's Kyler Murray (foot) or Jacoby Brissett under […]

Marvin Harrison Jr. Holds WR2 Status for Week 9

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. has had a tumultuous season so far, which is on par with how his rookie year went as well. The former Buckeye put up a WR38 performance in Week 7 before their bye, which was noticeably better than his week prior. Working in his favor this week is […]

Bam Knight Carries Low-End RB2 Value Against Cowboys

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight was named the starter for their Week 9 contest against the Dallas Cowboys, which gives him a juicy matchup to work with. The third-year pro has been upping his yards per carry in each appearance this season and finished Week 7 with his best game yet before the bye. […]

Jacoby Brissett a High-End QB2 in Week 9

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is set to start another game, and he draws a favorable matchup. The veteran QB has started the last two games and amassed 599 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception while throwing 52-for-80 and 9 carries for 45 yards in that time. Despite going 0-2, Brissett has looked better than […]

Luka Doncic Participates in Shootaround, Remains Questionable

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic (finger, leg) participated in the team's shootaround on Friday morning ahead of their NBA Cup matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. The superstar is still listed as questionable right now, but the fact that he participated is a good sign. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned until tip-off gets […]

GG Jackson II Added to Injury Report with Illness

Memphis Grizzlies forward GG Jackson II (illness) popped up on the injury report on Friday afternoon with an illness and is now questionable for their NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite showing some promising moments in his rookie season, Jackson appeared in just 29 games last year and has gotten into two […]

Darius Garland Out Again on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will be sidelined for a sixth consecutive game on Friday while still recovering from surgery on his toe. The 25-year-old last played in the team's final playoff game on May 13 when they lost to the Indiana Pacers, and Garland is still unsure when he'll be able to get […]

Kris Murray Considered Questionable on Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Kris Murray (illness) has picked up a questionable status for Friday's NBA Cup contest against the Denver Nuggets. The former first-round pick has seen an uptick in minutes so far this season compared to last year and has stepped up his shooting efficiency. So far, he's averaging 5.5 points, 2.3 rebounds, […]

Robert Williams III Could Make Season Debut on Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets. The former Celtic was assigned to the Blazers' G League affiliate for rehab purposes, and now has a chance to make his season debut. Since joining the Blazers in 2023-24, Williams has appeared in a […]

Jared McCain Will Not Make His Debut on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard Jared McCain (thumb) has officially been ruled out again for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Boston Celtics. The second-year guard has yet to make his season debut after having surgery on his right thumb, but he has returned to practice and is trending in the right direction. Head coach Nick Nurse […]

Paul George Remains Sidelined on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) still is not ready to make his season debut as he was officially ruled out for the team's first NBA Cup game against the Boston Celtics on Friday. He has been able to fully participate in practices over the course of the week, but there still seems to be […]

Ravens D/ST Could Be a Streaming Option in Week 9

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams was giving up historic amounts of points through the first five weeks of the season. Since then, they've given up 17 to the Los Angeles Rams and 16 to the Chicago Bears. They also forced two turnovers, limited both teams to under 100 rushing yards, and collected three sacks. With […]

Tyler Loop Back in the K1 Conversation Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop bounced back in a big way in the Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. He made three field goals from 42, 28, and 32 yards while making all three of his extra point attempts as well. Now, Lamar Jackson returns in Week 9 against a Miami Dolphins defense that […]

Justice Hill Not Much of an Option in Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill hasn't held much value throughout this season despite being the main pass-catching back for the team. He's had two finishes in the top 25 of running backs in half-PPR formats, and saw his snapshare fall a bit in Week 8 as Keaton Mitchell was active for the first time. […]

DeAndre Hopkins Too Risky of an Option Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins got everyone's hopes up after finding the end zone in each of the first two games of the season. Since then, he's only received more than two targets once and hasn't caught a touchdown pass either. To make things even tougher on fantasy managers wanting to start Hopkins, the […]

Rashod Bateman Carries Some Low-End Flex Appeal in Week 9

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has registered just one week finishing in the top 36 of his position. That came back in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions when the Ravens were in a shootout that ended in a 30-38 loss. Lamar Jackson is back under center, which automatically increases Bateman's value, but the […]

Mark Andrews Has High-End TE2 Value Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews hasn't really been fantasy-relevant over the last three weeks. His best finish in that time has been TE20 in half-PPR formats, and the last time he put up double-digit fantasy points was in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. A couple of things going in his favor this week […]

Zay Flowers Remains Around WR2 Value Against Dolphins

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers gets his starting quarterback back on the field for the Thursday night contest with the Miami Dolphins. While he posted a low-level WR2 performance in Week 8, his best games came during Weeks 1, 2, and 4. One of the reasons why Flowers isn't projected as a WR1 is […]

Derrick Henry Back to RB1 Territory in Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry gave fantasy managers what they've all been waiting for in the Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears. He registered his first finish as an RB1 since Week 1 and found the end zone twice in the process. Now, Lamar Jackson returns to the lineup as the Ravens finally […]
