He added four assists as well. With a Wednesday meeting against a Knicks team that's allowing […]

Wilson Chandler Productive Against Nets

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler scored 10 points on 4-for-7 shooting in Sunday's win over the Brooklyn Nets. He added in three rebounds and five assists as well. Chandler hasn't been the most consistent option for the 76ers so far, but he's starting to fit better into his role as the team's stretch four and […]

D.J. Augustin Just Misses Double-Double Sunday

Orlando Magic point guard D.J. Augustin scored 12 points on 5-for-9 shooting and added nine assists in Sunday's win over the Los Angeles Lakers. Augustin had five rebounds and made one three-pointer as well. The scoring numbers were in line with what Augustin usually does, but the assist numbers was a slight jump from his […]

Nikola Vucevic Records Double-Double Against Lakers

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 31 points on 10-for-20 in shooting in Sunday's win over the Lakers. He also grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out seven assists.

Fantasy Deep Dive Week 6: Domantas Sabonis

Indiana Pacers big Domantas Sabonis was questionable with an ankle injury heading into Friday's meeting with the Spurs. He finished with 19 points and 16 rebounds while starting in place of the more-injured Myles Turner. But even aside from that game, Sabonis is making a case for extended minutes and a place in fantasy starting […]

Donte Moncrief Has One Catch In Week 12

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief caught just one of his four targets in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, finishing with 29 yards. With quarterback Blake Bortles struggling, the entire Jaguars passing game is downgraded, and Moncrief is an incredibly risky fantasy option moving forward. He's shown big play potential, but it's not enough […]

Dede Westbrook Catches Touchdown Against Bills

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught three passes for 44 yards and a touchdown in Jacksonville's Week 12 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He had a 43-yard run as well. It was Westbrook's fourth touchdown catch of the year, but it continues a trend of the second-year wideout failing to reach 50 receiving yards. […]

Leonard Fournette Scores Twice, Gets Ejected

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette rushed for 95 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 18 carries in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. The second-year back added 13 receiving yards on three catches as well, but fantasy owners missed out on a chance for more from Fournette when he was ejected in the […]

Blake Bortles Has Another Poor Game

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles continues to struggle, going 12-for-23 passing the ball in Sunday's loss to the Bills and finishing with 127 yards, a touchdown, and a pair of interceptions. Bortles has now finished with single-digit fantasy points in three of the last five games, and it's time to worry about Bortles long and […]

JaMychal Green (PF/C, MEM) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: JaMychal Green broke his jaw, and he missed time, and Jaren Jackson Jr. took his spot in the Grizzlies starting unit. And while Green isn't getting that job back, he's still a strong piece off the Memphis bench who can help fantasy owners […]

Mikal Bridges (SG/SF, PHO) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 12-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 17% of leagues ANALYSIS: Phoenix Suns rookie Mikal Bridges was drafted by the 76ers this season and then packaged in a deal to the Suns. That Phoenix gave up Zhaire Smith and a future first was evidence that the team liked what they'd seen from Bridges and […]

Jordan Clarkson Scores 20 Points On Saturday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson scored 20 points on 8-for-16 shooting in Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He added in four assists and five rebounds as well.

Collin Sexton Scores 29 Points Against Houston

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Collin Sexton scored 29 points on 14-for-21 shooting in Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. He added in two assists as well. In addition, Sexton grabbed four rebounds and was 1-for-3 from deep. On Monday, he’ll face the Timberwolves, who allow the 11th-most points per game. Sexton isn't a great passer […]

Tristan Thompson Records Double-Double Against Rockets

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Tristan Thompson scored 16 points on 6-for-12 shooting in Saturday’s game against the Houston Rockets. In addition, he grabbed 20 rebounds. Thompson dished out two assists and added four steals. He’ll play the Timberwolves on Monday, who allow opponents to grab the fourth-most rebounds in the NBA. Thompson should have a […]

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon scored 28 points on 8-for-16 shooting in Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed a pair of rebounds and was 5-for-11 from deep.

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 12 points on 4-for-4 shooting in Saturday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. In addition, he grabbed 10 rebounds and dished out three assists.

Week 12 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Thanksgiving is already here as the NFL season continues its whirlwind pace. It feels like yesterday that Week 1 was here, that we were wondering how good this Patrick Mahomes kid could be and talking about how Le'Veon Bell would be back soon and we still thought Tom Brady was a good quarterback. And now […]

Sam Darnold Could Return Week 13, But Week 14 More Likely

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (foot) will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday and while he could be ready to go in Week 13 against the Titans, it's more likely that he returns to the field against the Bills in Week 14. The Jets and backup quarterback Josh McCown were just shut down […]

Alex Collins Expected To Play Against Raiders

Baltimore Ravens running back Alex Collins (foot) is expected to play against the Raiders, but he remains a risky fantasy start after the emergence of running back Gus Edwards in Week 11. Edwards perfectly complements quarterback Lamar Jackson in a backfield that should be heavy on the run, so Collins is likely to be used […]

Jimmy Graham Has Good Chance To Play Against Vikings

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (knee/thumb) is banged up, but he's on track to play against the Vikings in Week 12. The broken thumb that Graham suffered in his last game is an issue that could greatly impact his effectiveness, though the Packers wouldn't put him on the field if they didn't think […]

Melvin Gordon Expected To Play In Week 12

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon (hamstring/knee) has been a question mark all week, but he is expected to play on Sunday against the Cardinals. It's a good matchup for Gordon, though it's likely he cedes some playing time to backup running back Austin Ekeler. Keep an eye on the situation during pregame to […]

Robby Anderson Expected To Play Limited Role In Week 12

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) is expected to play for the first time since Week 9, but NFL.com's Ian Rapoport says that Anderson will play a limited role against the Patriots on Sunday. Anderson is an intriguing fantasy option once he's fully acclimated back into this team, but not for Week 12.

Torrey Smith Expected To Play In Week 12

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Torrey Smith (knee) hasn't played since Week 7 but is expected to suit up against the Seahawks in Week 12. Smith will be fairly low on the quarterback Cam Newton's radar and is unlikely to see a big yardage total, though he did score two touchdowns in his first seven games. […]

Jordy Nelson Expected To Return Against Ravens

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Jordy Nelson (knee) was reportedly contemplating retirement recently, but he is expected to return to the playing field on Sunday against the Ravens. The Raiders offense has struggled in recent weeks, but it's unclear if adding Nelson back into the mix will move the needle any as he had just five […]

DeSean Jackson Expected To Play In Week 12

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver DeSean Jackson (thumb) is expected to suit up in Week 12 against the 49ers. Jackson opened the season with three 100-yard games in his first four games, but has failed to reach that mark since and has just one touchdown since that time. The loss of tight end O.J. Howard […]

Mason Plumlee Records Double-Double Against Magic

Denver Nuggets center Mason Plumlee scored 15 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic. He also grabbed 11 rebounds to go along with four assist, two steals, and a block. The Nuggets face a tough test against the Thunder on Saturday, and nothing about Plumlee's recent play suggests that Friday's production […]

Trey Lyles Scores 22 Against Magic

Denver Nuggets forward Trey Lyles scored 22 points on 9-for-15 shooting in Friday's win over the Orlando Magic. Lyles was 1-for-5 from three and also added in two rebounds and an assist. He's averaging 11.6 points per game over his past 10 games, but faces a tough matchup on Saturday against a Thunder team that […]

Jamal Murray Productive Against Magic

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray scored 16 points on 7-for-18 shooting in Friday’s game against the Orlando Magic. Murray had six assists and five rebounds to go along with two steals and a block. Orlando faces the Thunder on Sunday, who allow 16th-most assists and fifth-fewest points per game. There should be a fairly […]
