Jaron Brown, Malik Turner Practicing In Full

Seattle Seahawks wide receivers Jaron Brown (knee) and Malik Turner (concussion) both practiced in full on Thursday after being limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should return to action in the Divisional Round on Sunday against the Seahawks, giving them more depth behind Tyler Lockett, D.K. Metcalf and David Moore. In this run-first offense, […]

Josh Richardson Goes 10-For-10 From The Line

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Josh Richardson went a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line on his way to 29 points on Thursday. In the 76ers 109-98 win over the Boston Celtics, Richardson led the team in points while chipping in seven assists and three rebounds. It was the second-highest scoring output of the season for […]

Al Horford Scores 17 Points On Thursday

In Philadelphia's first game since All-Star center Joel Embiid was declared out indefinitely, Al Horford helped his team gut out a win over the Boston Celtics on Thursday night. Horford had 17 points, eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal. It is the first time Horford has scored 15-plus points since Dec. 2, […]

Jayson Tatum Tallies Fifth Double-Double Of The Season

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum was held to 15 points on Thursday night but was still able to record his fifth double-double of the season. Tatum added 10 rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block to his box score in 36 minutes. The Celtics ultimately lost the game to the Philadelphia 76ers, but it […]

Kemba Walker Scores 26 Points Despite Injury Scare

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (thumb) suffered an injury scare on Thursday night but returned to have an effective evening on the box score. Walker had 26 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal in 33 minutes. He shot 10-for-20 from the field and 5-for-11 from behind the arc. In the second quarter, he attempted […]

Vikings Defense Could Have Sneaky Value

The Minnesota Vikings Defense has a chance to produce sneaky value in Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. They showed out in the wild-card round as they shut down the high-powered New Orleans Saints offense, picking up three sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery in the process. This week they'll face […]

Marcus Smart Scores Season-High 24 Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart came off the bench and scored a season-high 24 points on Thursday night. In the 109-98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Smart was one of the few bright spots for the Celtics. Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown combined for only 29 points, so Smart picked up the slack for […]

Kyle Rudolph Has Some Tournament Appeal

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph caught four of seven targets for 31 yards and the game-winning touchdown in a 26-20 win over the Saints in the wild-card round. Backup Irv Smith Jr. didn't see a target in the game. The San Francisco 49ers Defense is stellar against tight ends and will be welcoming stud […]

Adam Thielen Is A Risky DFS Option

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) is projected to be a high-risk start for Saturday's Divisional Round matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Thielen suffered a cut to his ankle in Wednesday's practice and did not practice on Thursday, but he is still expected to suit up for the pivotal playoff contest. Thielen is […]

Sammy Watkins is Tough to Trust for Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins hasn't shown much fantasy value throughout the regular season. However, playing in the playoffs sometimes wakes up players out of hibernation. Sadly, Watkins has only one game with 50 yards or more since Week 10. The Chiefs have Tyreek Hill, Travis Kelce, and Damien Williams who get targeted […]

Travis Kelce is A Top Option Against Texans

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) has been arguably the best tight end in the NFL next to George Kittle this season. However, he's been limited in practice this week due to a knee issue. He's expected to play in Sunday's Divisional Round matchup with the Houston Texans. He'll be a top tier […]

Top NFL Betting Expert Picks For The Divisional Round

It was a good Wild Card Round from betting purposes, that is of course if you didn't bet it all on the Patriots. It's hard to picture a time when you've seen New England struggle so much on offense, but Tennessee did what they needed to do. Buffalo completely fell apart in the second half […]

Marquise Brown Has Upside Against Titans

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown caught both of his targets for 15 yards in Week 17's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown's targets regressed as the season grew longer, making him a tricky DFS play going into this weekend's divisional-round matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Hollywood has only caught one touchdown in his last […]

Tyreek Hill Has Top-Tier Potential for Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill didn't finish the regular season on a strong note, but he's looking to have a big game on Sunday. Hill finished the season with two average performances, but fantasy owners shouldn't be worried. Hill has the kind of talent and speed to easily go over 100 yards and […]

Darwin Thompson Could See Fewer Touches on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darwin Thompson wasn't involved much in the first half of the season, but saw most of his carries in the month of December. The Chiefs have been banged up in the backfield, which has led to more opportunities for Thompson. However, Damien Williams and LeSean McCoy are both healthy heading […]

Dalvin Cook Rolls On As A Top Option

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook was fed 31 touches and turned them into 130 yards and two touchdowns in a wild-card win. He travels cross country on five days rest to face the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round -- a team that ranks 11th in rush DVOA but has given up at […]

LeSean McCoy Could Get Involved Versus Houston

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy wasn't used in the final two weeks of the regular season. Head coach Andy Reid wanted to make sure that the veteran back was well rested for the playoffs. It sounds like the Chiefs are going to use a committee approach for Sunday's game versus the Houston Texans. […]

Damien Williams Has Big Expectations

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams has put himself back into the fantasy conversation with his play over the last few weeks. He finished the regular season with a 124 yard rushing performance that also led to two touchdowns. Williams has been involved in both the run and passing game. DFS players should take […]

Hayden Hurst Hard To Trust Against Tennessee

Baltimore Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst caught both of his targets for 35 yards in Week 17's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hurst didn't see much of an increase in targets with Mark Andrews sitting out against the Steelers and will likely see the same level of production in Baltimore's divisional-round matchup against the Titans. […]

Paul George Ruled Out Friday With Hamstring Strain

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (hamstring) will not play Friday against the Golden State Warriors. George missed their game on January 4th with the same hamstring injury, but it was originally diagnosed as tightness. The team is now calling this a strain which calls for a little more concern, especially considering their last game […]

Patrick Mahomes Should Be Efficient Versus Texans

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes didn't exactly finish the regular season on a strong note, but fantasy owners shouldn't hold that against him. He'll get a fantastic chance to rebound versus the Texans on Sunday. Houston has a below average pass defense and Mahomes should easily capitalize on that. He has unbelievable options with […]

Gus Edwards Playable If Mark Ingram Sits

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards rushed for 130 yards on 21 carries in Mark Ingram's stead against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17. Edwards will likely resume his responsibilities as Ingram's backup going into this weekend's divisional-round matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Ingram is still dealing with the calf injury that sidelined him in […]

Eric Gordon Will Not Play Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday. Gordon warmed up, but was not expected to play given he just came back from knee surgery and this is the second night of a back-to-back set. In Gordon's absence, Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers will likely receive increased […]

Packers Defense Gets Tough Matchup Against Seahawks

The Green Bay Packers Defense gets a tough matchup against quarterback Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. Wilson threw only six interceptions all year but was sacked the 10th-most times in the league. The tricky part is that he can improvise and avoid the rush as well as […]

Danilo Gallinari Will Play Thursday Night

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (calf) will play against the Houston Rockets Thursday night. Gallinari was inactive, then upgraded to questionable before being able to play after missing one game with the injury. Gallinari should return to the starting lineup, pushing Darius Bazley back to the bench where he will lose mostly all his […]

Mark Andrews Could Have Big Impact

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews is listed as questionable with a lingering ankle injury but is expected to play in this weekend's Divisional Round matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Andrews was an integral component for the Ravens success on offense this season and finished as the No. 5 tight end in PPR leagues. In […]

Kirk Cousins Faces Stiff Test On Saturday

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins proved legions of doubters wrong in a thrilling 26-20 overtime win in the wild-card round over the New Orleans Saints. However, he finished with underwhelming fantasy numbers, as he threw for just 242 yards and one touchdown in the victory. Saturday's Divisional Round matchup won't prove to be any easier. […]

Jimmy Graham Too Up-And-Down To Rely On

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham gets a good matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. Unfortunately, Graham has been too inconsistent to count on. He did see his second-highest target total of the year in Week 17, but hasn't been a factor in fantasy since Week 7. […]

Mark Ingram Touchdown-Dependent Against Titans

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram is listed as questionable with a calf injury but is expected to play in this weekend's Divisional Round matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Ingram has had success in his last few games played, totaling five touchdowns in his last five games. The veteran rusher hasn't carried the ball more […]

Geronimo Allison Can't Be Trusted Against Seattle

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison can't be counted on for fantasy purposes against the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. Allison played the third-highest number of snaps behind receivers Davante Adams and Allen Lazard in the last three games of the regular season but caught only five passes combined. With […]
