Fantasy Deep Dive Week 5: E'Twaun Moore

New Orleans Pelicans forward E'Twaun Moore has put up a pair of 30-point games in the past week for the Pelicans, thanks in large part to an incredibly high number of minutes for the veteran. With Nikola Mirotic and Elfrid Payton missing time -- and Payton likely to miss more time -- the Pelicans ran […]

Donte Moncrief Held To One Catch Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver was a popular waiver addition after last week's 98-yard performance, but he followed that up with a one-catch, 11-yard game against the Steelers in Week 11. Moncrief has posted just two games with less than 50 yards over his last seven outings, so to say that Sunday's game is a bad […]

Dede Westbrook Catches Two Passes In Week 11

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook caught two passes for 19 yards in the Jaguars Week 11 loss to the Steelers. He was targeted four times. Despite being the nominal number-one receiver for the Jaguars, Westbrook hasn't surpassed 40 yards in the last five games and is droppable in shallow leagues at this point.

Leonard Fournette Rushes For Touchdown In Week 11

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette was the team's lone bright spot in Week 11's meeting with the Steelers, carrying the ball 28 times for 95 yards and a touchdown while also adding two receptions for a team-high 46 yards. A healthy Fournette is a must-start option on a weekly basis, though he may need […]

Blake Bortles Struggles Against Steelers

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for just 104 yards on 10-for-18 passing in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also lost a fumble. It was a hugely disappointing day for Bortles and the Jaguars, who spoiled a good defensive effort that held Pittsburgh's run game in check and picked off Ben Roethlisberger three […]

Demaryius Thomas Doesn't Record Catch In Week 11

Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas failed to pull in his only target in Houston's Week 11 win over the Washington Redskins. After catching three passes in his Houston debut, it was expected that Thomas would play a larger role against Washington, but he was a nonentity for the Texans. At this point, it would […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Touchdown In Week 11

While Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was far from dominant in Sunday's win over Washington, the star wideout found the end zone for the fifth consecutive game. Hopkins caught five passes for 56 yards and one score, but he also lost a fumble. While Hopkins scoring touchdowns is good for fantasy owners, it could […]

Keke Coutee Leads Texans In Targets

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee returned after missing time with a hamstring injury and was an immediate factor in Houston's Week 11 win over Washington. Coutee was targeted a team-high nine times, bringing in five of those passes for 77 yards. Coutee should be a flex option in PPR leagues going forward, though his […]

Lamar Miller Has Productive Game Against Washington

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller rushed for 86 yards on 20 carries in Sunday's win over the Washington Redskins. Miller also caught three passes for an additional 22 yards. After ceding carries to Alfred Blue in Houston's last game, there was worry about what Miller's workload heading into this week, but he once again […]

Deshaun Watson Throws Two Interceptions In Week 11

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for 208 yards on 16-for-24 passing in Sunday's victory over the Washington Redskins. Watson threw one touchdown to wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins and had a pair of interceptions. It was a disappointing outcome for Watson's fantasy owners, as the second-year passer didn't break 10 fantasy points. Watson is turning […]

Jeremy Lamb Scores 20 In Overtime Loss

Charlotte Hornets guard Jeremy Lamb scored 20 points on 6-for-18 shooting in Saturday's overtime loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Lamb grabbed 10 rebounds as well; it was Lamb's first double-digit rebounding game of the season, but follows a trend that has seen him average his most boards per game in his career. Lamb will look […]

Kemba Walker Scores 60 Points

Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker scored a career-high 60 points in Saturday's overtime loss to the 76ers. Walker was 21-for-34 from the field and made six shots from deep. He also added seven rebounds, four assists, and four steals, though he did commit nine turnovers. Walker is very, very unlikely to approach those numbers […]

Kerryon Johnson Exits With Knee Injury

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson is questionable to return to Week 11's meeting with the Panthers with a knee injury. LeGarrette Blount should see an uptick in carries if Johnson can't return, but if the injury is serious and forces Johnson to miss time it would be a devastating blow to a very good […]

Ben Simmons Just Misses Triple-Double Against Hornets

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons scored 23 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Saturday's overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets. He also grabbed 11 boards and dished out nine assists to go along with a pair of steals. Simmons hadn't been scoring well over the past few games, but he'll have a good shot to […]

Alex Smith Exits With Serious Leg Injury

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith exited Sunday's meeting with the Texans with what appears to be a broken leg. Smith's season is very likely over, leaving Colt McCoy as the new Redskins quarterback. McCoy threw a touchdown to Jordan Reed soon after entering the game.

Marcus Mariota Exits With Elbow Injury

Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota has left the Titans Week 11 meeting with the Colts with an elbow injury and is questionable to return. Blaine Gabbert is in at quarterback for the Titans; he quickly threw an interception, and if Mariota is unable to return and is forced to miss time, the entire Titans offense […]

Jimmy Butler Hits Winning Shots Against Hornets

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jimmy Butler didn't have his best night on Saturday against the Hornets, but he did hit the game-winning three in overtime as part of a 15-point night. Butler was 4-for-11 from the floor and added four assists, three rebounds, two steals, and two blocks. Butler is still getting used to playing in […]

Joel Embiid Scores 33 Against Hornets

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 33 points on 9-for-23 shooting in Saturday's overtime win over the Charlotte Hornets. He also grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked a pair of shots. So far this season, Embiid has 16 double-doubles in 18 games, and he's blocked multiple shots in 11 of those games (and 13 times overall). […]

Wilson Chandler (SF/SG, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 13% of leagues ANALYSIS: Because Wilson Chandler is currently on a minutes restriction that seems like it may never end, adding him in fantasy presents some risk in the short term, but owners who feel fairly secure about their team right now should be grabbing him, because […]

Mike Muscala (PF/C, PHI) - Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add In 14-Team Leagues OWNED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: After the Jimmy Butler trade, the 76ers have some holes to fill, especially with the departure of Dario Saric opening up minutes at the four and Amir Johnson losing minutes and opening up time at the five as well. Enter Mike Muscala, recently […]

Week 11 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

Some big news in the NFL this week. Le'Veon Bell won't be back this season, so you can finally drop him in re-draft leagues if you hadn't already. It's good to have some clarity to that situation, though I know that a lot of people are frustrated because they spent first rounders on him. In […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Scores 27 Against Kings

Memphis Grizzlies rookie power forward Jaren Jackson Jr. scored a career-high 27 points in Friday's win over the Kings, going 11-for-16 from the floor. Jackson also added six rebounds, four steals, and a pair of blocks. He's now had two or more steals in three of the last five games, and the rookie seems to […]

Marc Gasol Records Double-Double Against Kings

Memphis Grizzlies center Marc Gasol scored 19 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Friday's win over the Sacramento Kings. The veteran big man also grabbed a team-high 15 rebounds to go with two assists. After a couple of rough outings, Gasol is now averaging 20.4 points and 9.8 rebounds with 1.2 blocks and 1.2 steals over […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Scores 18 Against Nets

Washington Wizards forward Kelly Oubre Jr. scored 18 points on 5-for-6 shooting in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. He added four rebounds, an assist, and a steal as well. Oubre has hit double figures in points in just two of his last seven games, and his assist and steal numbers are down from last […]

John Wall Inefficient Against Nets

Washington Wizards point guard John Wall struggled with his shot in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets, going 6-for-19 from the field and 1-for-5 from three on his way to 16 points. Wall added seven assists to his stat sheet as well. Wall has had a couple of rough games in a row and while […]

Bradley Beal Scores 20 Points Against Nets

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal scored 20 points on 8-for-19 shooting in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Beal also added six rebounds, two assists, and a block as well. Beal has been incredibly consistent this season, scoring between 17 and 23 points in 11 of his 15 games. He should keep that rolling on […]

Dwight Howard Scores 25 Points Against Nets

Washington Wizards center Dwight Howard scored 25 points on 9-for-13 shooting in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. The veteran big man also pulled down 17 rebounds. Howard has been a steady producer for the Wizards this season, though his overall numbers are down this year from where they were last season in Charlotte. Howard […]

Rodions Kurucs Breaks Into Nets Rotation

Brooklyn Nets rookie forward Rodions Kurucs may have taken a step towards being a consistent part of the Nets rotation in Friday's win over the Wizards, playing a career-high 21 minutes and scoring nine points to go along with three rebounds. Kurucs isn't yet a fantasy option, but he's a player worth keeping an eye […]

Jarrett Allen Records Double-Double Against Wizards

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored 16 points on 5-for-11 shooting in Friday's win over the Washington Wizards. He grabbed 12 rebounds, including six offensive ones, along the way and also blocked a pair of shots. After missing the previous two games, it was encouraging to see Allen so involved on both ends, and the […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Has Strong Game Off Bench On Friday

Brooklyn Nets point guard Spencer Dinwiddie remains one of the league's top sixth men, and in Friday's win over the Washington Wizards he showed why. Dinwiddie scored 25 points on 8-for-13 shooting, his third 20-plus point game of the season. He also added eight assists, four rebounds, and three steals. The Nets play the Clippers […]
