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 […]


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. The rookie has been efficient so far shooting the ball, but has yet to register a single two-point field goal attempt. Through […]


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. If LeVert is able to play, this would be his first game back since the season opener, where he registered eight points, two assists, one rebound, and one […]


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. The veteran guard is getting a rest day due to injury management of his left knee. It was already communicated before the season started that Ball would likely sit out one half of back-to-backs throughout the year, […]


Grizzlies Signing Charles Bassey on Hardship Contract

The Memphis Grizzlies are signing free-agent center Charles Bassey to a 10-day hardship contract, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Currently, the Grizzlies have Scottie Pippen Jr., Ty Jerome, Brandon Clarke, and Zach Edey all missing extended periods of time with various injuries. In their last game, Jock Landale and Santi Aldama were splitting minutes in […]


Anthony Edwards Will Miss Two Weeks with Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Anthony Edwards (hamstring) is set to miss the next two weeks. 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, […]


DeAndre Hopkins Not a Trustworthy Option in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has essentially been invisible for fantasy managers outside of the first two weeks. Of course, missing Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been part of the issue, but he only averaged two targets per game with Jackson. While the Chicago Bears defense is susceptible to some big passing plays, there have […]


Rashod Bateman May Have Some Flex Appeal in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is in the midst of quite a rough fantasy season. Outside of his big game against the Detroit Lions, he's scored a total of nine fantasy points in the other five games in half-PPR formats. It turns out that when Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is hurt, there's no one to […]


Tyler Huntley Could be a Low-End Streamer in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley was recently signed to the active roster, and head coach John Harbaugh revealed that the long-time backup could start if Lamar Jackson (hamstring) gets downgraded from questionable. Huntley has appeared in 21 games for the Ravens across five seasons, with nine of them being starts. As far as backups go, […]


Mark Andrews Remains in TE2 Territory Against Bears

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has registered just one game with double-digit fantasy points this season in half-PPR formats. Even in a game where he received eight targets against the Kansas City Chiefs, he only finished with seven receptions for 30 yards, which comes to a measly 4.3 yards per catch. While Lamar Jackson […]


Zay Flowers a High-End WR2 in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been cleared from the injury report after being a full participant in practice all week. The speedy wideout has struggled quite a bit with Cooper Rush under center, as has the entire offense, but could have Lamar Jackson (hamstring) back against the Chicago Bears. Even if Tyler Huntley […]


Derrick Henry Looking for Big Bounce-Back Game in Week 8

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry hasn't finished in RB1 territory in half-PPR leagues since Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills. The ground game has struggled mightily, especially while Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been sidelined, due to playing major catch-up as the defense gives up the most points in the league. In Week 8, Jackson […]


Lamar Jackson Still Holds QB1 Value if he Plays

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) officially picked up a questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. His first full practice came on Friday, so it wasn't enough for the team to outright declare him as the starter yet. If he does suit up, however, Jackson has been matchup-proof, with the exception being […]


Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Draws Questionable Tag on Friday

Memphis Grizzlies guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) has been listed as questionable for their Friday night matchup with the Miami Heat. In their opening night win, Caldwell-Pope received the most minutes in the starting five and registered 15 points, four rebounds, three assists, and three turnovers while shooting 2-for-8 from the floor, 2-for-7 from deep, and […]


Kel'el Ware Available on Friday Against Grizzlies

Miami Heat center/forward Kel'el Ware (ankle) is listed as available for Friday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies despite dealing with an ankle sprain. The second-year big man didn't see too many minutes in their season opener as he fell behind Nikola Jovic, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and Simone Fontecchio in the rotation. Ware showed some decent […]
