Jamal Murray Plays Well Against Phoenix

There have been a few points this season where Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray has struggled, but he's now scored 17 or more points five of the past six games, including putting up 26 in Saturday's win over the Phoenix Suns. Murray was 10-for-22 from the floor, plus 3-for-7 from deep. He added six rebounds, […]

Zach LaVine's Shot Is Off Against Lakers

The Chicago Bulls struggled to shoot the ball on Saturday in a loss to the Lakers, with their top-three players in terms of field-goal attempts all shooting under 40 percent. Guard Zach LaVine was the best of those guys on Saturday, going 9-for-23 and scoring 21 points. He also added 10 rebounds, four assists and […]

LeBron James With Double-Double Against Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James didn't have his best shooting night on Saturday, but he did enough to help the Lakers get the win over Chicago. James scored 17 points on 6-for-16 shooting, missing both of his threes and going 5-for-8 from the free-throw line. He also added 11 rebounds, six assists, and two […]

Anthony Davis Scores 37 Points Against Bulls

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis led the way as a scorer in Saturday's win over the Chicago Bulls, scoring 37 points on 14-for-21 shooting. He added a pair of three-pointers, plus grabbed six rebounds to go with three assists, two steals, and a block. Davis entered the game with a probable designation due to […]

Chiefs Expect To Have Clyde Edwards-Helaire Against Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs expect to have rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) for Sunday's AFC Championship game against the Buffalo Bills, though backup running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) isn't expected to play. Edwards-Helaire should see the highest share of touches out of this backfield, but we could see head coach Andy Reid using Darrel Williams […]

Wayne Ellington (SG/SF, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 15% of leagues ANALYSIS: So, uhh, Wayne Ellington has been moving a moment. On January 15th, the Pistons/Wizards game was postponed. In five games since then, Ellington hasn't played under 26 minutes in a game and hasn't made fewer than three three-pointers in any contest. And while […]

Marcus Morris Sr. (PF/C, LAC): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: While he's calmed down in terms of scoring some over the past couple of games, Clippers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. is still a strong fantasy addition right now because of his high upside. Just this past week, Morris had a pair of games […]

Royce O'Neal (SF/PF, UTA): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 25% of leagues ANALYSIS: Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale hasn't had the most consistent season, but his high minutes per game and role as a starter for the Jazz makes him an ideal pickup in deeper fantasy basketball leagues. O'Neale's not going to consistently give fantasy managers […]

Alex Caruso (PG/SG, LAL): Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Alex Caruso isn't someone you need to be going out and grabbing immediately, but he has some situational value in deeper leagues, and sometimes that's enough. Coming into Saturday's contest with the Bulls, Caruso had made six three-pointers over the past four games, […]

Matthew Stafford And Lions Will Part Ways

The Detroit Lions and quarterback Matthew Stafford will reportedly part ways this offseason, with Detroit exploring trade options for the former No. 1 overall pick. The Lions will likely look to take a rookie quarterback early in April's draft, something that will likely limit the overall effectiveness of their passing attack. As for Stafford, teams […]

Biggest Fantasy Busts of 2020 - Quarterback

The 2020 NFL regular season is now in the rear-view mirror, so let's look back on what happened. Today, that means looking back on some busts. While plenty of good things happened this season, some players didn't live up to expectations. We're going to take a look at some of those players and try to […]

Taysom Hill, Latavius Murray Unlikely To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) and running back Latavius Murray (quad) are both unlikely to play Sunday night against Tampa Bay. That's good news for Saints running back Alvin Kamara, as Hill is always a threat to vulture a rushing touchdown, and Murray's replacement -- either Dwayne Washington or Ty Montgomery -- won't […]

Ronald Jones II Has Good Chance To Play

After not playing last week, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (quad/finger) went through a walk-through on Saturday and as a good chance to play in Sunday's NFC Divisional Round contest against the New Orleans Saints. Jones would split carries with Leonard Fournette, limiting the fantasy upside for both backs in a game […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Won't Play In Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) won't play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in the AFC Divisional Round, though he's expected to be available next week for the AFC Championship Game. Expect to see heavy doses of Le'Veon Bell, with some Darrel Williams or perhaps Darwin Thompson sprinkled in. The latter two […]

Lamar Jackson Ruled Out With Concussion

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is in the concussion protocol and will not return to Saturday's Divisional Round playoff game against the Buffalo Bills. Jackson went down hard in the second half and stayed on the ground for a few moments before exiting. The Bills currently lead 17-3 and Tyler Huntley is in at quarterback […]

Travis Kelce Set For Big Game Against Browns

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce should be in line for a top performance on Sunday's Divisional Round slate when the Chiefs take on the Cleveland Browns. The Browns allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season and Kelce last caught fewer than seven passes way back in Week 7. […]

Tyreek Hill Set For Strong Divisional Game

Kansas City Chiefs Tyreek Hill should be considered one of the top wide receivers on Sunday's Divisional Round slate, with the only issue being the salary cost of stacking him with his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. The Browns secondary has a lot of holes in it that a quick player like Hill can exploit. Hill caught […]

Patrick Mahomes Is Top Fantasy Option In Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the top fantasy quarterback option on Sunday's Divisional Round slate when he faces off against the Cleveland Browns. Of all the teams left in the playoffs, no one allows more fantasy points per game to quarterbacks than Cleveland. Mahomes should have no trouble exploiting this Browns secondary, and […]

T.J. Yeldon Active For Divisional Round

Buffalo Bills running T.J. Yeldon is active and will likely serve as the No. 2 back for the Bills in Saturday's Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens with Zack Moss (ankle) out. Devin Singletary will be the lead back and Yeldon's unlikely to see as much work as a healthy Moss would have, so he […]

Deshaun Watson, Texans Divide Continues

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson wants out of Houston, according to an explosive Sports Illustrated story from Greg Bishop and Jenny Vrentas that highlights some of the issues Houston has faced over the past year. It sounds like the team's decision to give Jack Easterby an increasingly large voice in the direction of the franchise […]

Dak Prescott's Ankle Rehab Going Well

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) is reportedly progressing well in rehab, with Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network saying the team thinks Prescott is "going to come back better than ever." While he doesn't have a long term deal with the Cowboys and could be a free agent in 2021, it makes sense for […]

Cooper Kupp Inactive For Divisional Round

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (knee) is officially inactive for Saturday's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers. A huge loss for a team whose quarterback is already dealing with a thumb injury, we'll likely see Josh Reynolds step into Kupp's role. Reynolds now has some nice appeal as a DFS value play, […]

Steelers Expected To Promote QB Coach To Offensive Coordinator

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to promote quarterback coach Matt Canada to offensive coordinator, according to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. Considering the Steelers led the NFL in passing attempts this past season, this move should bode well for wide receivers Diontae Johnson, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Chase Claypool, as well as whoever the team's […]
