Evan Mobley Could Return In A Week

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (knee) went through knee surgery after getting hurt in their game against the Orlando Magic on December 6. Since then, he's missed 21 consecutive games, but he's been progressing in the right direction. He's now been able to pass a lot of the steps needed to get back on the […]

Victor Wembanyama To Get Minutes Restriction Lifted

San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama has been under a minutes restriction ever since he sprained his ankle a couple of times back on December 21. Even with the restriction, he tweaked his ankle again in the first game after that. Originally, it was placed at 24 minutes a night, but he has seen just […]

Bruce Brown To The Knicks Gaining Traction

Toronto Raptors guard/forward Bruce Brown moved to Canada just a couple of weeks ago in exchange for Pascal Siakam and others. Ever since that deal was made official, there have been reports and rumors that this wouldn't be his final move this season. Playoff contending teams have been linked to Brown, most notably the New […]

Bulls, Pistons Discussions Surrounding Zach LaVine Aren't Getting Far

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has seemingly been a part of trade rumors for a couple of years now.

The Detroit Pistons are the latest team to engage in trade discussions, but they […]

Memphis Grizzlies forward Santi Aldama (knee) could be sidelined on Friday as he's dealing with right knee soreness at the moment.

Aldama […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Probable To Play Against Cavaliers

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) popped up on the injury report with back spasms, but they don't seem to be severe since the team listed him as probable on Friday. The superstar forward has appeared on the injury report a handful of times this year, but has only missed two games. Fantasy managers have […]

Mark Williams Ruled Out Again On Friday Versus Rockets

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) has been ruled out again for their contest against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Instead of just a "back contusion" he's now listed on the injury report with "injury recovery." That doesn't give much of a timetable for his return, but it does seem to finally be trending in […]

Jae'Sean Tate Uncertain Against Hornets

Houston Rockets guard/forward Jae'Sean Tate (wrist) has been listed as questionable on Friday for their game against the Charlotte Hornets. Tate was forced to miss their last contest against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday while dealing with this left wrist strain, and it doesn't seem to be fully healed just yet. Regardless of injury […]

Trae Young Tagged As Questionable On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (concussion protocol) has received the questionable tag for the Friday night game against the Dallas Mavericks. He still hasn't fully cleared concussion protocol just yet, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see if he can get through it before tipoff on Friday. In the two games that he's […]

Clint Capela Could Be Sidelined Against Mavericks

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) has been tagged as questionable on Friday as he's dealing with a left calf contusion. The veteran big man has been on and off the injury report but ultimately has only missed two games so far this season. As long as he's healthy, his value in points, boards, blocks, […]

Maxi Kleber Expected To Play On Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Kleber missed a big stretch of games due to the same toe issue but has been able to battle through any pain over the last five games. While he hasn't been starting, he's been […]

Well, even if they are busy, at least all of you beautiful dynasty managers are here to talk some risers […]

The Ravens Defense A Solid Option Against Texans

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has been one of the best units in all of fantasy football this season despite playing in a few shootouts throughout the year. They've been the highest-scoring defense and they have capitalized on plenty of sack opportunities and turnovers. In Week 1, the Ravens defense only allowed nine points to […]

Isaiah Likely Could Be A High-Quality Start

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely proved that he could be a big-time playmaker in the team's offense ever since Mark Andrews (ankle) went down with an ankle injury in Week 11. In that short span, Likely caught 21 of his 30 targets for 322 yards and five touchdowns. In comparison, he had just nine […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Draws Tough Matchup In Divisional Round

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has had a rollercoaster of a year in terms of fantasy performances. He wasn't the number-one receiver and a lot of the time, either Mark Andrews or Isaiah Likely received more targets than him too. He did still break off big plays throughout the year that got him […]

Justice Hill Not The Best Option Versus Texans

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player all year long, but he's seen a lot more busts than booms. His bigger appeal comes in PPR formats since he seems to be the favored back when it comes to passing downs, but he barely cracked the top 60 this […]

Gus Edwards Remains A Risky Option Against Texans

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has never instilled confidence into fantasy managers when they need to start him. There isn't really anyone in the Ravens backfield that is a surefire fantasy lineup lock, and it's been that way for a long time now. The Houston Texans sit right around the middle of the pack […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Shake Off Playoff Woes

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson turned in another incredible season as he led the team to the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye. Now, he and the Ravens will take on the Houston Texans, a team full of young talent, to try and erase all of the playoff doubts throughout his career. […]

Jamal Murray Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (tibia) has popped up on the injury report and has been listed as questionable with bilateral tibia inflammation. The 26-year-old hasn't missed a game since December 12 and was able to play a full 36 minutes on Sunday in an eight-point win over the Indiana Pacers. With Murray's injury history, […]

Nikola Jokic Tagged As Questionable Against 76ers

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (hip) has been tagged as questionable for their Tuesday matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is a much-anticipated matchup to see the reigning MVP Joel Embiid go up against the former two-time MVP Jokic. Everyone will have to wait and see if he's able to play through a left hip […]

Patrick Williams Ruled Out Against Cavaliers

Chicago Bulls forward Patrick Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to out on Monday and will not face the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is his second consecutive absence due to the right ankle strain that he suffered against the Golden State Warriors. Williams has started in most of his games this year but it hasn't produced that […]

Gary Trent Jr. Ruled Out On Monday

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (illness) wasn't listed on the injury report until later Monday evening and he was already ruled out with a non-COVID illness. He's been receiving around 25 minutes a night, so it leaves a big hole in the bench unit. Gradey Dick (thumb) was also ruled out, so the backcourt […]

Kyle Lowry Will Suit Up Monday Versus Nets

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hand) was originally listed as doubtful due to a left hand sprain but it seems like he's good enough to play since the team has officially upgraded him to active on Monday. The veteran guard should take his spot in the starting five again along with Jimmy Butler (toe) and […]

Jimmy Butler Will Return on Monday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday and will play his first game since December 30. He's actually only played one game since December 18 due to the right-toe MP joint sprain he's been dealing with, so fantasy managers will welcome back a player of his caliber […]

Max Strus Upgraded To Active On Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus (knee) has been upgraded and will play on Monday night against the Chicago Bulls. The 27-year-old was only able to play around seven minutes in their last game against the Brooklyn Nets. This comes as great news since Darius Garland (jaw) remains sidelined. Strus will also remain in the starting […]

Durham Smythe Invisible Again in Wild-Card Loss

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe remained far off of the fantasy radar in a disappointing wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday. He ended the game with three catches on four targets for 12 yards and his longest play was just a five-yard catch. The 28-year-old only registered three games with more […]

Jaylen Waddle Fails To Get Much Going In Wild-Card Loss

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle finished off the 2023 season by missing the last two regular-season games and then putting up a dud in the team's wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night. Waddle ended the game with two receptions for 31 yards on five targets and nine yards on one […]

De'Von Achane A Non-Factor Against Chiefs

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane wasn't able to break off any huge plays in the wild-card loss on Saturday night like he has throughout the regular season. The rookie back capped off his first season with a sub-par performance after registering nine yards on six carries and hauling in three of his six targets […]

Raheem Mostert Bottled Up In Wild-Card Loss

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert ran out of magic in the wild-card loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night. In one of the coldest games in NFL history, Mostert collected 33 yards on eight carries and caught one of two targets for negative three yards. The 31-year-old posted the best season of […]

Tyreek Hill Caps Off Season With Another Touchdown

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill put together a fantastic season that saw him on track to break 2,000 receiving yards at one point. In their wild-card loss to his former team, Hill was the only player to find the end zone when he caught a 53-yard touchdown pass at the beginning of the second […]
