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 […]

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.

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 […]

Jordan Thomas Unlikely To Continue Touchdown Streak

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas has three touchdowns in Houston's last two games, but his low target share suggests that the streak is unlikely to continue against the Redskins in Week 11. Washington has allowed just three scores to the position all season, and Thomas was targeted just once in Houston's Week 9 contest […]

Demaryius Thomas Should See More Usage Against Washington

After catching three passes in his Texans debut, expect more involvement in Week 11 from Houston Texans wide receiver Demaryius Thomas. The Redskins have given up a ton of passing yards in their past three games, and Thomas will have a chance to put up strong numbers against them on Sunday, making him a solid […]

DeAndre Hopkins Remains A WR1 In Week 11

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is still a top option at his position heading into Week 11's meeting with the Washington Redskins. Though Hopkins will face a tough test against corner Josh Norman, the veteran defensive back isn't the same player he was in the past, and Hopkins has proven to be fairly matchup-proof […]

Lamar Miller Offers Plenty Of Risk In Week 11

The problem with Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller is that you never know which version of Miller you'll be getting -- the one who put up consecutive 100-yard games, or the Week 9 version who lost playing time to backup Alfred Blue. Washington's done a solid job against opposing backs this year, but it's […]

Deshaun Watson Set For Strong Week Against Washington

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is in a good position to succeed in Week 11 against the Washington Redskins, who have allowed 300 or more passing yards in three consecutive games. Though they held Tampa Bay out of the end zone on pass plays in Week 10, the Buccaneers put up 406 yards. Watson, meanwhile, […]

Chandler's ceiling is limited at this point, but […]

J.J. Redick Scores 22 Points Against Orlando

He was 4-for-7 from three after opening the game 3-for-3 from deep, and he grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds to go along with 10 assists. The numbers hide some of Embiid's offensive struggles after a good first […]

Jamal Murray Efficient Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored 15 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He added five assists and a steal as well. Murray hasn't broken 20 points since his 48-point outburst against the Celtics, and he's shooting 14.3 percent from three in that stretch, but the third-year guard has shown […]

Gary Harris Gets Out Of Shooting Slump Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was shooting under 30 percent from the field and from three over four games before Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but Harris started to emerge from his cocoon, scoring 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting and hitting three of his six attempts from downtown. He had four steals as well. Harris […]

Nikola Jokic Records Double-Double Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Tuesday's loss to Houston. He also grabbed 12 rebounds and added in seven assists and a pair of steals.

James Harden Records Double-Double Against Nuggets

It took a while for Houston Rockets guard James Harden to get his scoring going in Tuesday's win over the Nuggets, but by the end of the night he'd put up another strong performance. Harden scored 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added a team-high 11 assists. Last season's MVP also grabbed five rebounds to […]

The Tape Tells All - Marcus Mariota's Week 10 Performance

We're over halfway through the NFL season and I still haven't broken down any quarterbacks in this column. The reason? Yeah, I don't know. I guess no one really surprised me enough? But over the past two weeks, one quarterback has really come to life -- Tennessee Titans passer Marcus Mariota. Let's look at some […]

Dede Westbrook Leads Team In Targets In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was targeted a team-high 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Colts, finishing with 30 yards on five catches.

James O'Shaughnessy Catches Five Passes In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy returned after missing Jacksonville's past two games and caught five passes in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Colts. He finished with 46 yards and was targeted six times. It was O'Shaughnessy's most productive game of the season, though it would take another similar follow-up for fantasy owners to […]

Donte Moncrief Catches 80-Yard Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief got a chance to go against his former team, the Indianapolis Colts, on Sunday, and while the Jaguars didn't manage to take them down, Moncrief did get a huge highlight play, catching an 80-yard touchdown as part of a three-catch, 98-yard performance. Moncrief has targeted just four times, though, […]

T.J. Yeldon Still Used In Receiving Game Against Colts

Despite the return of Leonard Fournette cutting into his carries, Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon maintained some value in Week 10 thanks to his receiving ability. Yeldon caught five passes for 51 yards in Sunday's loss and added 12 rushing yards on three carries. While Yeldon's value in standard leagues is virtually nonexistent with […]
