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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

Lamar Jackson Returns to Must-Start Status in Week 9

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is set to be under center for the first time since Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs. As a potential QB1 every time he takes the field, it's not a surprise that he becomes a must-start the moment he returns. Jackson will take on the Miami Dolphins defense in […]

Egor Demin Won't Suit Up Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin (foot) has been ruled out on Monday for the contest against the Houston Rockets. The team is holding him out due to injury management for his left foot.

Caris LeVert Considered Questionable on Monday

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Caris LeVert (hamstring) is still recovering from a hamstring injury and has picked up a questionable tag for Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Cade Cunningham Listed as Probable Against Cavaliers

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (hip/face) has picked up a probable tag ahead of Monday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The superstar point guard is dealing with both a facial and hip contusion, but it doesn't seem too severe. In Sunday's win over the Boston Celtics, Cunningham finished with 25 points, eight assists, three rebounds, […]

Darius Garland Still Out on Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (toe) will not return on Monday after being ruled out for a fourth consecutive game to start the season. The dynamic combo guard still doesn't have a firm timetable for his return to action, but is trending in the right direction. Since Lonzo Ball (rest) was also ruled out for […]

Lonzo Ball Ruled Out on Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Lonzo Ball (rest) has been ruled out of Monday's contest against the Detroit Pistons.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the superstar suffered a right hamstring strain and won't be back on the court until November. Edwards was only able to play three minutes during Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers and registered five points and […]

Tyler Loop Could Bounce Back in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop was firmly in the K1 discussion across the first two weeks of the season. Then, Lamar Jackson (hamstring) went down, and the entire offense came to a screeching halt. Over the last three games, he's made a combined four out of five field goals and three out of three extra […]

Justice Hill is Avoidable Against Bears in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has received a bit of an uptick in snaps while Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been sidelined. A combination of the defense giving up a historic amount of points while the offense fails to get any type of rhythm meant Hill had some more passing plays to work with. Unfortunately, […]
