DeMar DeRozan Scores An Efficient 21 Points Versus Dallas

San Antonio Spurs wing DeMar DeRozan shot eight of 15 in the loss to the Mavericks on Thursday to finish with a team-high 21 points along with five rebounds and four assists. After three straight games under 20 points, DeRozan has bounced back over San Antonio's last three games to exceed the 20-point threshold. It […]

Bruce Brown Does A Little Bit Of Everything For Pistons

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown tallied 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, two triples, two steals, and a block in a 132-102 win over the Washington Wizards. It was a solid bounce-back from Brown, who shot a scorching 83.3 percent from the field and filled up the box score. The second-year pro has eclipsed last […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Scores 17 Points Against San Antonio

Dallas Mavericks wing Tim Hardaway Jr. drained seven of his 14 shots and three of his six three-pointers to finish off a win over the Spurs with 17 points in 28 minutes. Hardaway has performed admirably over his last four outings now, with double figures in each as well as multiple makes from beyond the […]

De'Aaron Fox Leaves And Will Not Return Thursday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) will not return Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Fox played just two minutes before experiencing back spasms which are serious enough to be ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Cory Joseph and Yogi Ferrell will pick up extra minutes at point guard for the time […]

Kristaps Porzingis Struggles Versus The Spurs

Dallas Mavericks big man Kristaps Porzingis struggled against San Antonio on Thursday with just 13 points and eight rebounds in the win. After surging in his absence with four 20-point outings and five double-doubles, this was not the type of production fantasy owners were hoping for out of KP in Luka Doncic's first game back […]

Christian Wood Scores 22 In Win Over Wizards

Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood scored 22 points with seven rebounds, three assists, two triples, and a block in a 132-102 win over the Washington Wizards. Wood had missed two of the last three games with a left knee injury, but was able to go and made the most of it. He's had an unpredictable […]

Luka Doncic Returns From Injury To Nearly Post A Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic returned from a right ankle sprain against the San Antonio Spurs to drop 24 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in the victory. Doncic had missed the previous four games -- not including a two-minute stint against Miami before going down -- and looked a bit rusty with his shot […]

Andre Drummond Records Double-Double In Blowout Win

Detroit Pistons center Andre Drummond recorded 14 points, 10 rebounds, and a block in a 132-102 blowout win over the Washington Wizards. It's Drummond's 25th double-double of the year, tied for second in the NBA, and he did it in only 25 minutes because of the blowout. Drummond leads the league in rebounds by a […]

Blake Griffin Pulls Down Season-High 11 Rebounds

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin scored 14 points with 11 rebounds, four assists, and a block in a 132-102 win over the Washington Wizards. Griffin struggled from beyond the arc, posting another 0-6 performance, though he salvaged his day with rebounds and assists. The 30-year-old has missed half of the Pistons' games due to a […]

Bradley Beal Leaves Game Early On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (leg) left Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons in the third quarter and did not return. Beal was experiencing right leg soreness and would have stayed in the game, but the deficit was too large to risk any aggravation. The Wizards have had to rely heavily on Beal this season […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Active Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) is active and says he will play Thursday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Bogdanovic will return after a three-game absence with ankle soreness. With Bogdanovic back in the lineup, Trevor Ariza and Cory Joseph will take a small hit to their respective minutes and fantasy values.

Packers Defense A Good Option Against Detroit

The Green Bay Packers Defense gets a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. The Packers are fresh off a dominating performance on Monday night when they tallied five sacks and an interception. The Lions are a good matchup- they've allowed at least four sacks or two interceptions in their last three contests. […]

Mason Crosby A Decent Option Against Lions

Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby has an opportunity to have a solid day against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. The veteran has made 19 of 20 field goals and 38 of 39 extra points. He'll face a Lions team that allows 26.7 points per game, meaning he could be active on extra points. […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Officially Out Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will not play Thursday against the Sacramento Kings. Towns will miss his fifth straight game with the ailment, but has been trending in the right direction and is still considered day-to-day. Without Towns, Gorgui Dieng will continue to start and be a popular streaming option. Once Towns returns to […]

Jimmy Graham Not Recommended In Week 17

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) is not a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17, despite the favorable matchup. Graham hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 and hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards since Week 10. The 33-year-old has also been competing with Robert Tonyan and Mercedes […]

O.J. Howard An Intriguing Week 17 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard has had a very disappointing season, but with Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring) both likely out for Week 17, he will have one more chance to leave a favorable impression. Howard has received seven targets over the past two weeks, which should stay about the same […]

Breshad Perriman A Solid Option Against Falcons

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman has made the most of his time as the Bucs No.1 receiving option with Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Mike Evans (hamstring) sidelined. Perriman stayed hot in Week 16, hauling in seven catches for 102 yards, and with Godwin likely to sit out this week, Perriman should again be […]

Geronimo Allison Off The Fantasy Radar

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Geronimo Allison isn't a recommended option against the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Allison hasn't caught more than four passes in a game and has exceeded 50 receiving yards only once. The 25-year-old has seen a decrease in snaps since Week 12. He shouldn't be near lineups in Week 17.

Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 17 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber was a non-factor in Week 16 even with Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) out of the lineup. It was the Ronald Jones II show with the Bucs top receiving options missing, and that doesn't bode well for Barber's Week 17 outlook. The Bucs will play the […]

Ronald Jones II A Risky Week 17 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II rewarded fantasy owners who took a chance on him in Week 16. Expecting to see similar production out of him in Week 17 is risky though. A ghost one week and a star the next, it has obviously been a seesaw season for Jones, and that's not […]

Allen Lazard A Flex Play If He's Able To Go

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) has logged two limited sessions in practice this week. If he's able to play, he should be in the conversation as a flex play against the Detroit Lions, who have the worst pass defense in the league. They've allowed the third-most pass plays of 20 yards or […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Week 17 Option

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston didn't perform quite as fantasy owners were hoping in Week 16, but he has a big chance to bounce back against a giving Atlanta Falcons secondary in Week 17. From a fantasy perspective, this season has been Winston's best. The fifth-year signal-caller undoubtedly helped carry many fantasy teams this […]

Davante Adams Gets Great Matchup In Week 17

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams faces the league-worst pass defense of the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Adams has been the Packers' undisputed number-one receiver since returning from injury, with double-digit targets in all but one game. He's had three 100-yard games and has scored four touchdowns after failing to find the end […]

Jamaal Williams A Low-End Flex If He Plays

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) hasn't practiced yet this week ahead of a favorable Week 17 matchup with the Detroit Lions. If he does play, he'll take on a Lions team that he piled up 136 scrimmage yards and a touchdown against in Week 6. Unfortunately, Williams has taken a backseat to […]

Aaron Jones A Must-Start Against Lions

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones will face the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Jones didn't do so hot the last time he faced the Lions, though he's red-hot heading into this one. The 24-year-old exploded for a career-high 154 rushing yards and two touchdowns against the Vikings. More importantly, he saw 23 carries […]

Aaron Rodgers Should Be Able to Do Damage Against Lions

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers draws a favorable Week 17 matchup against the Detroit Lions. Rodgers didn't have a great game against Minnesota last week, as he was uncharacteristically inaccurate. The 36-year-old gets a great chance to bounce back against the Detroit Lions, who currently own the league's worst pass defense. Over the last […]

Michael Thomas Limited On Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hand) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, though there appears to be at least some doubt in regards to his status after two limited sessions this week, albeit one being a hypothetical practice report. Thomas will look to get in […]

Drew Brees Upgraded To Full Participant On Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after getting in a limited session on Wednesday. Brees showed up as limited on a "hypothetical" practice report, though Coach Sean Payton said Brees is "fine." Fire up the red-hot signal-caller as a QB1 in a big game against the Carolina […]

Jamaal Williams Logs Second Straight DNP On Thursday

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) wasn't able to practice for the second straight day. Williams injured his shoulder in the third quarter of Green Bay's game against the Vikings and wasn't able to return. As of now, he's trending in the wrong direction with two DNPs. Hopefully, he can get even a […]

Allen Lazard, Jimmy Graham Limited On Thursday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) and tight end Jimmy Graham (veteran rest) were both limited in Thursday's practice. Lazard has logged back-to-back limited sessions and seems destined to have a questionable tag for Sunday's game. Graham is likely to suit up on Sunday, as this has been his practice routine to keep […]
