Noah Fant Questionable To Return With Illness
Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant has gone to the locker room and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers with an illness. Fant does not yet have a reception in the game. If he's unable to return, tight end Nick Vannett will see an increase in usage. He has one […]

Austin Hooper Not Expected To Play Monday
Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper (neck) is not expected to play on Monday when the Browns face the Baltimore Ravens. Hooper has gone through a rough patch over the past month, not catching more than three passes in any of the last four games. Harrison Bryant has gotten on the field more lately, and […]

Zane Gonzalez Inactive For Week 14
Arizona Cardinals kicker Zane Gonzalez (back) is inactive for Sunday's meeting with the New York Giants. In his place, veteran Mike Nugent will kick for the Cardinals. Nugent last played in 2019, appearing in four games for the Patriots and making five of his eight field goal attempts. He's been a reliable player in the […]

Randy Bullock Is Healthy Scratch
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Randy Bullock is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Austin Seibert will kick. The combination of a bad Cowboys Defense and a Bengals offense that is missing its starting quarterback means we could see plenty of drives stall out in field goal range, making Seibert an interesting option […]

Kenyan Drake And DeAndre Hopkins Active, Andy Isabella Inactive
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the New York Giants, while running back Kenyan Drake (hip) and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (neck/back) will play. Hopkins is a WR1 option each week, while Drake has solid upside in this one and can be a nice RB2 play. It's […]

Kyle Rudolph Is Inactive For Week 14
Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) won't play in Week 14 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rudolph had been having a solid stretch of games before he was held without a catch last week. Irv Smith Jr. is back for Minnesota though and should see some solid usage with Rudolph sidelined. Smith is a […]

Leonard Fournette Inactive For Week 14
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. This was a potentially solid matchup for Fournette, but it now looks like Ronald Jones II will have sole control of this backfield on Sunday, making Jones a high-end RB2 play and someone with a lot of […]

D'Andre Swift Cleared To Play Week 14
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift initially had an invalid COVID result on Sunday morning, but was cleared on a retest to return to the field and is active for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Swift last played in Week 10, when he saw a season-high 16 carries. He's the best running back […]

Brandin Cooks Inactive, Keke Coutee Active
Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears, while wide receiver Brandin Cooks (foot/neck) is not playing. Coutee has a lot of fantasy value in today's game based on his projected target share and rates as a WR2 option, with Chad Hansen also becoming a viable play […]

Colt McCoy, Daniel Jones Could Both Get Snaps
As weird as it sounds, ESPN's Jordan Raanan has suggested that the Giants could give snaps to both Daniel Jones and Colt McCoy at quarterback in Week 14. If true, that split would instantly make both players non-viable fantasy options, as it would be too hard to predict how things play out for Giants. It […]

Eagles Players Believe Jalen Hurts Will Start Rest Of Season
Philadelphia Eagles players and team sources reportedly believe that rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts will start for the rest of the 2020 season, replacing Carson Wentz. While head coach Doug Pederson has only committed to Hurts for this week, it makes sense for the franchise to see what they have in the young passer. Hurts should […]

Cameron Brate Expected To Play Week 14
Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (illness) is expected to play against the Vikings in Week 14. Brate tied his season-high with six targets in his last game, but he remains a low-floor TE2 fantasy option at best heading into this matchup, though his absence could have open some more targets up for the […]

Darius Garland (PG, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 145 Overall CURRENT ADP: 197 ANALYSIS: It's not that we're in love (no pun intended) with Cleveland, but you always have to go after young players in bad teams. The Cavs are precisely that, a bad team headed to another high-lottery pick that's going to be forced into giving their recently-drafted […]

Jakob Poeltl (C, SAS) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 145 Overall CURRENT ADP: 195 ANALYSIS: Poeltl's not the safest pick of the year, as his role in San Antonio hasn't been super consistent over his two seasons there. But he started all eight games in the bubble, averaging 8.3 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.4 blocks per […]

Gary Harris (SG/SF, DEN) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 170 Overall CURRENT ADP: 190 ANALYSIS: Sure, the days of Gary Harris being a future star have passed us, but he's still a valuable player in real life, even if that doesn't always translate to fantasy production. Harris is only 26. His career track thus far is...weird. Harris has seen drops […]

Luke Kennard (SG/SF, LAC) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 142 Overall CURRENT ADP: 165 ANALYSIS: Kennard was sent to the Clippers as part of a deal that also sent Landry Shamet to Brooklyn. I think we should expect Kennard to slide into the role that Shamet had, which should be good news for Kennard, even if it's accompanied by a drop […]

Kevin Porter Jr. (SG/SF, CLE) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 130 Overall CURRENT ADP: 155 ANALYSIS: This pick is all about projection and upside. Porter Jr. averaged 23.2 minutes per game last year, mostly off the bench. He averaged 10 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 0.9 steals while shooting 50.6 percent inside the arc. He needs to improve on a […]

Jordan Clarkson (PG/SG, UTA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 120 Overall CURRENT ADP: 141 ANALYSIS: Traded to Utah during the season, Clarkson played 42 games with the Jazz, averaging 24.7 minutes, mostly off the bench. He averaged 15.6 points per game with the team, and the only thing that he really lost from what he provided in Cleveland to start […]

PJ Washington (SF/PF, CHA) - Fantasy Basketball Draft Values
BALLER MOVE: Target Around 114 Overall CURRENT ADP: 132 ANALYSIS: Washington started 57 of his 58 games last year, averaging 12.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 blocks per game while shooting 37.4 percent from three on four attempts per game. Basketball Reference estimates he played around 85 percent of his minutes […]

Amari Cooper Finds End Zone In Week 13
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper caught five passes for 43 yards and a touchdown in Tuesday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He was targeted nine times, his most targets since Week 6. Cooper had been on a string of three consecutive games with at least 67 receiving yards, but even with a decrease in […]

CeeDee Lamb Has Middling Week 13
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb caught six passes for 46 yards on nine targets in Tuesday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The rookie saw his most targets since Week 6, but wasn't able to do a ton with those opportunities. He's going to be a very strong fantasy play once Dak Prescott is quarterbacking […]

Michael Gallup Has Strong Week 13
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup was one of the team's bright spots in Tuesday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, catching seven passes for 86 yards and a touchdown. His 11 targets led the team as he had a 22.9 percent target share. For awhile, Gallup has really trending down, but he has 19 targets […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Solid Week 13
Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott ran 18 times for 77 yards in Tuesday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens, and also added four receptions for 18 yards. The four receptions were his most since Week 6, and the 77 yards were his second-highest mark since Week 5. Overall, a solid game for Zeke, who had […]

Andy Dalton Has Decent Showing Against Ravens
Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton was 31-for-48 for 285 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in Tuesday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He added two rushing yards as well. It was the most yards Dalton has thrown since taking over as the Cowboys QB. With a matchup against the Bengals coming up, Dalton has […]

Second-Year NBA Players Who Won't Break Out
Every NBA player enters the league with high hopes, but not every player ends up fulfilling those hopes. Year two is an important one when it comes to player development. If someone's going to sustain a long NBA career, they have to start showing something in that second season or it becomes an even more […]

The Grass Is Greener: NBA Free Agency Risers for Fantasy Basketball
Free agency in the NBA is the wildest free agency in sports, which means that a ton of players have switched teams this year. While there wasn't as much big-name movement as there were in other seasons, plenty happened in free agency this year, shaking up the landscape of the NBA and, of course, the […]

James Harden Not At Houston's First Practice
Houston Rockets guard James Harden was not present at the team's first practice, though head coach Stephen Silas says Harden will take place in an individual workout tonight. With trade rumors swirling around the former MVP, anything like this is going to raise some eyes, though Houston has seemed committed to beginning the season with […]

Daniel Jones Officially Inactive For Week 13
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is officially out for Sunday's contest against the Seattle Seahawks. Jones was doubtful ahead of the game, so fantasy managers should have already been preparing for Colt McCoy to get the start against a Seahawks Defense that has struggled in 2020. Is it bad enough to justify starting […]

Tyler Boyd Ejected
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd has been ejected from Sunday's game against the Dolphins after a small scuffle with Dolphins defensive back Xavien Howard, who was also ejected. Boyd ends the game with just one reception, but that one went for a 72-yard touchdown. Cincinnati's offense will be in even more dire straits in […]
