Steelers Optimistic James Conner Will Return In Week 11

With it looking more and more likely that Le'Veon Bell won't report to the team, the Steelers will need running back James Conner this year to keep up their playoff hopes. Conner, who is currently in concussion protocol after Thursday's win over the Panthers, could miss Week 11's meeting with the Jaguars, but the team […]

Darren Sproles Expected To Miss Multiple Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles running back Darren Sproles (hamstring) was hoping to return in Week 10, but after suffering a setback in practice, the team expects him to miss another three or four weeks. That leaves the Eagles backfield in the hands of Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, and Josh Adams, and introduces some uncertainty to Sproles chance […]

Fantasy Deep Dive Week 4: Dennis Schroder

I'll admit to being one of the people who were skeptical about Dennis Schroder signing with Oklahoma City. For a still-young point guard, backing up Russell Westbrook isn't the ideal scenario to find yourself in. But with Westbrook missing some time -- and even with Westbrook back in the lineup -- Schroder has found a […]

Nikola Jokic Scores 37 In Loss

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 37 points on 14-for-22 shooting in Friday's loss to the Brooklyn Nets. Jokic also added 21 rebounds and three assists. It was another strong outing from one of the top options in fantasy basketball, and while Sunday's meeting with the Bucks should be a tough one, Jokic does too […]

Jarrett Allen Scores 18 Points Against Denver

Brooklyn Nets center Jarrett Allen scored 18 points on 7-for-14 shooting in Friday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He grabbed nine rebounds and added in five blocked shots. Allen is blocking 2.1 shots per night on the season and had a pair of them the last time he met Saturday's opponent, the Golden State Warriors. […]

D'Angelo Russell Leads Nets In Points On Friday

Brooklyn Nets point guard D'Angelo Russell put up 23 points in Friday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He was 7-for-14 from the field and also added five assists, four rebounds, and a pair of steals. Brooklyn faces the Warriors on Saturday night, who Russell had a highly-efficient 25 points against earlier this year. Russell has […]

Caris LeVert Scores 17 Against Nuggets

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert scored 17 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Friday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He had five assists and a pair of rebounds as well. LeVert continues to play a key role for the Nets, though the team's depth does limit his upside a little more than if he were playing […]

Chris Herndon IV Has Upside In Week 10

While the Buffalo Bills have limited opposing tight ends from a yardage perspective, they have allowed four touchdowns this year to the position, making New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon an interesting streamer option in Week 10. Herndon has three touchdowns in his past four games, but only once has he received more than […]

Jets Receiver Trio Has Low Ceiling In Week 10

The Jets feature three wide receivers who took at least 70 percent of the team's snaps in Week 9, but none of those players present a consistent and safe fantasy option in Week 10 against a Bills team that allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa, and Jermaine […]

Elijah McGuire Could Be Sneaky Play

New York Jets running back Elijah McGuire took a clear backseat to Isaiah Crowell in Week 9, but he could be a sneaky fantasy play this week against the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo has been susceptible to rushing touchdowns over the past three games, and McGuire could see something closer to Crowell's workload this week after […]

Isaiah Crowell Has Upside In Week 10

New York Jets running back Isaiah Crowell has a shot at putting up some strong fantasy numbers in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed four rushing touchdowns to backs over the past three games. Crowell is always a boom-or-bust guy, but this could be one of those weeks when he booms, especially […]

Josh McCown Not A Good Fantasy Option In Week 10

With Sam Darnold expected to miss Sunday's meeting with the Bills, the New York Jets will turn to quarterback Josh McCown to start for the team. McCown brings a veteran presence to the field and should avoid excessively turning the ball over, but the Bills currently limit fantasy quarterbacks to the third-fewest fantasy points per […]

Jaguars Defense Might Have Another Tough Week

The Jacksonville Jaguars defense hasn't played at the same level this year as it has in the past, and Sunday's meeting with the Indianapolis Colts could lead to another disappointing outing for the Jags. They'll be without Dante Fowler moving forward, who they traded to the Rams at the deadline, and have to face a […]

Dede Westbrook Has Deep League Upside In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook had the team's highest snap share among wide receivers against the Eagles in Week 8 and looks to be the team's top receiver moving forward, though he has posted low yardage totals over the past few games. In Week 10, he gets a meeting with the Colts, who have […]

Keelan Cole Isn't A Good Fantasy Option In Week 10

Despite opening the season as the favorite to lead the receiving group, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole has dropped down the team's pecking order. In Week 8 against the Eagles, he saw a snap percentage of just 23, far behind Dede Westbrook, Donte Moncrief, and rookie D.J. Chark, who has started to grow into […]

T.J. Yeldon Remains A Solid PPR Play In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon has been targeted five or more times in all but one game so far this season, and even with Leonard Fournette (hamstring) back in the lineup, Yeldon's upside as the receiver makes him a good flex option in PPR leagues this week against a Colts team that has allowed […]

Leonard Fournette Has Plenty Of Upside In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (hamstring) is expected to return to the Jaguars lineup in Week 10 against a Colts defense that gives up the 13th-most fantasy points to the running back position. Fournette does have a little more of a crowd in the backfield now that T.J. Yeldon looks like a strong receiving […]

Blake Bortles Set For Good Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles finds himself in a good position in Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts. Despite some struggles at times this year, Bortles meets a defense that allowed three touchdown passes to the Raiders in Week 8 and would look a lot worse on paper had it not been for a dominant […]

Week 10 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

The NFL season continues to tick along, and as we reach the first week of the season that has two numbers inside of one number in its name, we start to reach panic mode for some fantasy owners. You're sitting at 3-6 and you know another loss dooms you, and you can't risk putting someone […]

Dez Bryant May Have Torn Achilles

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Dez Bryant may have suffered a torn Achilles in practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network is reporting. Bryant is currently undergoing an MRI to determine the extent of his injury, but a torn Achilles would mean an end to Bryant's comeback before it even began, and would leave the Saints […]

Carmelo Anthony Plays Poorly In Return To OKC

Houston Rockets forward Carmelo Anthony spent last year with the Thunder, and on Thursday he had a chance for a revenge game against his former team. Instead, Anthony was abysmal for the Rockets, scoring two points on 1-for-11 shooting and grabbing five rebounds. Anthony should play better on Saturday against the Spurs, but with lows […]

Clint Capela Scores 17 Against Thunder

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 17 points on 8-for-12 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He also grabbed seven rebounds to go along with three assists, a block, and a steal. It was just the third time this year that Capela was held under 10 rebounds, and he should be back […]

Chris Paul Struggles Against Thunder

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 10 points on 7-for-19 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Paul had five assists and a pair of rebounds as well, and he also added in six steals. Paul will look to get his scoring numbers back up against the Thunder on Saturday, though the […]

James Harden Held To 19 Points Against Thunder

Houston Rockets guard James Harden scored 19 points on 7-for-19 shooting in Thursday's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Last year's MVP also added eight rebounds, five assists, and three steaks to the ledger. It was a rough night all around for the Rockets, who scored just 80 points on the night. Houston faces San […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds for Week 4

The fourth week of the NBA season is already upon us! If you're here to read Dicky Fung's great column about who to add on waivers for the week ahead, I have some bad news, which is that I'm filling in for Dicky this week. But it's okay -- he'll be back for next week. […]

Dario Saric Continues To Improve

Philadelphia 76ers forward Dario Saric had a rough start to the season, but in Wednesday's win over the Pacers he had his second consecutive game with double-digit scoring as he poured in 18 points on 6-for-13 shooting. Saric also made four of his six attempts from three and grabbed seven rebounds. He'll look to keep […]

Joel Embiid Records Double-Double Against Pacers

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid continues to rack up the double-doubles. In Wednesday's win over the Indiana Pacers, Embiid scored 20 points on 7-for-16 shooting and grabbed 10 rebounds. He also blocked three shots. Embiid has recorded double-doubles in five consecutive games now and has at least one block in all of those contests. The […]

Darren Collison Held Scoreless On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers guard Darren Collison didn't score in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. A popular sleeper pick after he led the NBA in three-point field goal percentage last season, Collison is currently hitting just 28.6 percent of his deep shots and is averaging under 10 points per game for the first time in his NBA […]

Domantas Sabonis Records Double-Double Against 76ers

Indiana Pacers center Domantas Sabonis scored 16 points on 7-for-14 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the 76ers. He also added 11 rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes off the Pacers bench. Sabonis is averaging career-highs in points and rebounds this year, and he's now recorded double-doubles four times on the season. He'll look to […]

Victor Oladipo Has Huge Night Against Sixers

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo had 24 of the Pacers' 50 first-half points in Wednesday's loss to Philadelphia, and he finished the night with 36 points on 14-for-30 shooting to go along with seven assists, six rebounds, two steals and three blocks. It was a huge night for Oladipo, who is now averaging 24.1 points […]
