Derrius Guice Suffers Hamstring Injury
Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice has suffered a hamstring injury and will likely miss the start of training camp. Guice missed all of last season with an ACL injury, so another setback for the former second round pick isn't good news. If healthy, Guice projects to be the lead back of Washington's committee, but […]

Rockets Sign Tyson Chandler
The Houston Rockets have signed veteran center Tyson Chandler, who played 55 games last season for the Suns and Lakers. Chandler averaged just 3.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game, and he'll likely be mired in the back of the Houston rotation this year, seeing 10-15 minutes per game on what could be an irregular […]

An eventful night in the WNBA, as we have five games going on and a handful of players returning from EuroBasket, which complicates things even more. New York, for instance, has three new players to fit into the rotation, which makes it tough to figure out what they'll do. Factor in that while the players […]

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Mack Hollins missed all of last season with a groin injury, but Eagles beat reporter Mike Kaye believes that Hollins is the most likely candidate to win the team's fifth receiver spot.

Chris Paul Traded To Thunder
The Houston Rockets have traded point guard Chris Paul to the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for Russell Westbrook. It's hard to know what to make of the deal for Paul, because so much remains up in the air. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the Thunder are still looking to move Paul after the deal, […]

Russell Westbrook Traded To Houston
The Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets have completed a deal that sends point guard Russell Westbrook to Houston, pairing him once again with former teammate James Harden.

2019 NBA Free Agency: Fantasy Risers and Fallers
NBA free agency was a pretty drawn out process this year, but things have slowed down enough that we can talk about where things stand now. There's been a lot of movement around the NBA, especially when it comes to the big name players. Kawhi Leonard. Paul George. Kevin Durant. Kyrie Irving. Kemba Walker. All […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Signs Deal With Suns
Restricted free agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has signed a two-year deal to remain with the Phoenix Suns. Oubre is a solid player who's likely to end up starting at the three for the Suns, and he has solid fantasy upside as a guy who can give Phoenix something close to 15 points and five […]

Jaguars Sign Receiver Marcus Simms
Following the NFL's Supplemental Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars have signed undrafted West Virginia wide receiver Marcus Simms. Simms, who was rumored to be a Jacksonville target heading into the Supplemental Draft, caught 46 passes for 699 yards and two touchdowns last season and will have a chance to compete for a spot in the team's […]

Melvin Gordon Wants Trade If New Deal Isn't Reached
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon wants a long-term deal from the Chargers and intends to sit out training camp and demand a trade if a long-term deal isn't reached. Gordon is a late first-round pick in most fantasy formats at this point, so him either not playing or winding up somewhere else could […]

Defending Marcus Mariota
As a longtime fan of the Houston Texans and, therefore, a longtime hater of the Tennessee Titans, it takes a lot for me to defend a Titans player. But all of this Marcus Mariota hate has to stop. Yes, his career up to this point hasn't resembled what people wanted from it and he's not […]

Trying to make decisions in a dynasty startup draft can feel like a lifetime commitment as you're picking a player who'll hopefully be sitting on your roster for years to come.

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (7/5/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel
Hopefully everyone enjoyed their July 4th, though it would have been a little more enjoyable if there'd been some WNBA games to watch. Instead, though, we get a pretty strong four-game slate today, headlined by a Mystics/Aces game that should be an incredibly entertaining finale for the night.

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is holding informal offseason workouts with Houston's receivers, including wide receiver Vyncint Smith, who says the workouts are helping build chemistry with the team's receivers and their quarterback.

Glenn Robinson III To Sign With Warriors
The Golden State Warriors and free agent small forward Glenn Robinson III are agreed to terms on a two-year deal. Last year with Detroit, Robinson played in 47 games, averaging 4.2 points and 1.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42 percent from the field. Those aren't great numbers, but it's possible Robinson ends up starting […]

Willie Cauley-Stein To Sign With Warriors
With DeMarcus Cousins and Jordan Bell both not returning to the Warriors next season, the team had an opening at the center position. They'll fill it with former Sacramento Kings center Willie Cauley-Stein, who averaged 11.9 points and 8.4 rebounds per game last year. Cauley-Stein is a rangy defender who should easily grab the starting […]

Jeff Green To Sign With Jazz
The Utah Jazz and free agent forward Jeff Green have agreed on a one-year deal for Green to join the Utah Jazz. Green's been a promising and at times inconsistent player for over a decade, but he's coming off a solid year in Washington in which he scored 12.3 points per game to go along […]

Gardner Minshew Could Be Jaguars Backup Quarterback
In his daily mailbag for Jaguars.com, Jaguars insider John Oehser writes that he expects rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew to be the team's top backup for starting quarterback Nick Foles, beating out Tanner Lee and Alex McGough for the spot. Foles will have full reins of the offense, so Minshew shouldn't even be a consideration in […]

D'Onta Foreman Continues To Progress
Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman is reportedly "light years" ahead of where he was at last year in recovery from his Achilles tear.

Taj Gibson To Join Knicks
Free agent power forward Taj Gibson will join the New York Knicks next season, but the veteran finds himself in an unenviable position in terms of playing time.

Enes Kanter To Sign With Celtics
With Al Horford agreeing to a four-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, the Boston Celtics needed a new starting center. It appears they’ve found one, agreeing to a two-year deal with Enes Kanter.
