Grizzlies Injury Woes Continue, Without Vince Williams Jr. Friday

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Vince Williams Jr. (heel) will miss Friday's matchup with the Heat as he continues to recover.

Williams will likely operate this […]

Jae'Sean Tate Questionable to Return Friday

Houston Rockets forward Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) is questionable to return on Friday after missing opening night. Tate played a limited role last season, averaging just 11.3 minutes per game with 3.6 points, and 2.3 rebounds.

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk (hamstring) failed to participate once again in Thursday's practice and is now trending toward missing a second consecutive game.

Nico Collins Fails to Practice on Thursday, Leaving Doubt for Week 8 Availability

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after failing to practice on Thursday.

Navigating bye weeks and injuries makes streaming defenses a key strategy entering Week 9 of the fantasy football season.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's practice as the team returned from its bye, and head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that Palmer is considered week-to-week.

Marcus Mariota Draws Tough Week 8 Start vs Chiefs

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota will make his third start of the season on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect much production in a difficult matchup.

Sean Tucker Set for Bigger Role in Week 8, but Still Just a Deep-League Stash

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker is expected to see an uptick in opportunities in Week 8 with Bucky Irving (foot/shoulder) ruled out. Tampa Bay relied heavily on Rachaad White last week, giving him a massive 90% snap share, but that workload isn't sustainable long term and the team is likely to rotate in […]

Coby White Ruled Out For First Two Weeks

Chicago Bulls guard Coby White (calf) has officially been ruled out through at least the end of October and will be re-evaluated on November 3.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart (back) missed Monday's practice as he continues to deal with a lingering back issue that kept him sidelined for most of the preseason.

Daniel Carlson Difficult to Trust in Week 7 Against Chiefs

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson draws a challenging matchup in Week 7 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, making him a risky fantasy start. The Chiefs have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers this season and continue to limit scoring opportunities with one of the league's stingiest defenses. Meanwhile, Geno Smith and the […]

Raiders Defense Not Worth Roster Spot Ahead of Week 7 Clash With Chiefs

The Las Vegas Raiders defense looked sharp in Week 6 against a sputtering Titans offense, but fantasy managers should move on quickly with a brutal matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on deck.

Michael Mayer Set for Bigger Role With Raiders in Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer is expected to take on a significant role in Sunday's divisional showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. With Brock Bowers (knee) listed as doubtful and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) questionable, Geno Smith may once again look heavily toward Mayer in the passing game. The 24-year-old tight end […]

Tre Tucker Solidifies Role as Raiders' No. 1 Receiver

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker has firmly established himself as the team's top receiving option and one of the few bright spots in the offense this season. With Jakobi Meyers (knee) questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Geno Smith will likely continue to rely heavily on Tucker, who has […]

Bradley Beal Set to Make Clippers Debut in Preseason Finale

Los Angeles Clippers shooting guard Bradley Beal (knee) is expected to make his preseason debut on Friday against the Golden State Warriors. After battling injuries in recent seasons, the 32-year-old veteran will look to reestablish himself as one of the league's most efficient scorers in a revamped Clippers offense. Beal joins a star-studded lineup alongside […]

VJ Edgecombe Set to Return for Preseason Finale
