Royce Freeman Could Snag More Carries

In 2018, Phillip Lindsay had 192 carries to fellow rookie Royce Freeman's 130, but Justin Adams of CBS 4 believes that that may change in 2019. Lindsay is recovering from a wrist injury and has yet to participate in offseason activities with the team, which Adams believes has put Freeman in a position to potentially […]

Cavaliers Waive J.R. Smith

The Cleveland Cavaliers have waived veteran guard J.R. Smith, clearing the way for Smith to join a contending team. Smith averaged 6.7 points and shot just 30.8 percent from the field last season, but played in just 11 games for Cleveland. A healthy Smith could be a decent bench piece for a playoff team, but […]

Alex Collins Breaks Leg

NFL free-agent running back Alex Collins has reportedly broken his leg, derailing a potential NFL comeback that was already complicated by an arrest in March. Collins had been training and had hoped to play in 2019, but the former Ravens rusher's entire NFL future looks to be in doubt at this point. While he's still […]

Bengals Guard Clint Boling Retires

Cincinnati Bengals offensive lineman Clint Boling has retired due to a blood clot in his right leg. Boling was projected to be the starting right guard for Cincinnati this year, and his sudden retirement leaves the Bengals in a rough spot. Pro Football Focus ranked the Bengals offensive line as the league's 27th-best unit after […]

Jadeveon Clowney And Texans Don't Reach Long-Term Deal

Houston Texans defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and the team were unable to reach a long-term deal before Monday's deadline, which means Clowney will play on the franchise tag this season. The former number-one overall pick is expected to hold out for most of training camp, but there's been no indication yet that he'll miss time […]

Chris Herndon IV Suspended Four Games

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV has been suspended four games by the NFL for a DUI last June. The four games is longer than the rumored two game suspension that had been previously reported, which makes Herndon a tougher player to value in fantasy. Once he's back, he has the ability to […]

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 […]

Alex Abrines And Timofey Mozgov Sign International Deals

At least two more NBA players won't be in the league this upcoming season, as guard Alex Abrines has signed with FC Barcelona and center Timofey Mozgov has signed with Khimki Moscow. Abrines played for the Thunder most recently, while Mozgov played for the Magic, though both players have recently been limited with injuries. Neither […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (7/12/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

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 […]

Mack Hollins Likely To Be Eagle's Fifth Receiver

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. Hollins is competing against Marken Michel and Charles Johnson for the spot, but heading into training camp he appears […]

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. With Paul George no longer in Oklahoma City, Westbrook was set to have a huge season statistically, but he'll go back to playing a role similar to […]

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 […]

Coby White Expected To Come Off Bench As Rookie

Chicago Bulls rookie point guard Coby White is expected to take a backseat to some of the team's other options this upcoming season. Bulls vice president of basketball operations John Paxson said that White's got a lot of learning to do and that the speed of the game could be an issue for White, while […]

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 […]

Dynasty Startup ADP Arbitrage - Eric Ebron vs Irv Smith Jr.

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. One strategy is to identify some hyped up players, then identify a similar player who's going at a slightly later ADP to draft instead. […]

WNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (7/10/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel

We have a bit of a weird situation with Wednesday's slate, as there are three morning games -- all starting before or at noon -- and a night game. DraftKings has a four game slate, but FanDuel's main slate just features the morning games. In this article, I'll be providing you with some daily fantasy WNBA […]

Dynasty Stock Watch for 2019 - Running Back Fallers

In the first part of this column, I took a look at some of the running backs whose stock is rising in dynasty leagues ahead of the 2019 season. Today, it's time to look at the opposite side of things. Fantasy football rankings are a zero-sum game. For a player to break into the top-10 […]

Fantasy Spin: Kawhi Leonard And Paul George To The Clippers

Well, the Kawhi Leonard saga has finally ended, and it happened in the most unexpected way, as Leonard signed with the Clippers late on Friday night in a move that also resulted in the Oklahoma City Thunder sending Paul George to the Clippers for approximately 36 first round draft picks. It's a big deal, one […]

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. In this article, I'll be providing you […]

Ezekiel Elliott Will Not Be Suspended

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott met with the NFL about a May incident in Las Vegas, and the league has determined that Elliott did not violate the league's Personal Conduct Policy. Elliott will not face a suspension and will be available to start the year for the Cowboys. Elliott has led the NFL in […]

Deshaun Watson Holding Informal Workouts With Receivers

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. Watson is one of the NFL's best young quarterback, and getting extra time with his receivers should help the Texans offense this […]

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 […]
