Marvin Bagley Doesn't Practice on Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. He suffered a left foot injury during Thursday's game and didn't return to that contest. The Kings are going to be cautious with Bagley, so he could sit out a game or two. Nemanja Bjelica would start if Bagley is unable […]

Otto Porter Wants to Return Around All-Star Break

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (foot) is hopeful that he'll be able to get back on the court around the All-Star break. Fantasy owners who were holding Porter can feel safe to drop him now. He wasn't playing well before the injury and the Bulls aren't exactly a competitive team right now. Fantasy owners can […]

Wil Lutz Should Be Busy In Week 17

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz could have a big day against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Lutz has been one of the best fantasy kickers in the second half, as he has made at least two field goals and two extra points in six of seven games. Carolina has lost seven games in […]

Allen Hurns Questionable Against Patriots

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns (ankle, neck) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 17 against the Patriots. Hurns has just 32 catches for 416 yards and two touchdowns on the season, so he hasn't really been on the fantasy radar to begin with, let alone in a tough matchup […]

Marcus Smart Won't Play Versus Cavs

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's getting closer to a return, but the Celtics are going to be cautious and sit him at least one more game. There's a chance that he suits up for Saturday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Gordon Hayward […]

Lauri Markkanen Sits Out of Friday's Practice

Chicago Bulls forward Lauri Markkanen (illness) was unable to suit up for Friday's practice. It appears he's under the weather, but the Bulls don't play again until Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks. Thaddeus Young would benefit the most if Markkanen is unable to play on Saturday. Young would be worth a look as a DFS […]

Caris LeVert Won't Play Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Caris Levert (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. However, he's getting much closer to a return and could be ready to play by Monday. There's a good chance that he comes off the bench, but he'll hold fantasy value in most standard leagues. Fantasy owners should […]

Jared Cook Should Stay Hot Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook faces a tough matchup in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Cook has come to life since returning from injury in November, with over 50 receiving yards in all but one game with six touchdowns. Carolina is a very tough matchup for tight ends- they've allowed the second-fewest […]

Dante Exum Will Make Team Debut on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Dante Exum will join the rotation for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics, according to head coach John Beilein. Exum will likely jump into Jordan Clarkson's role, but the Cavs will be cautious with him. Kevin Porter Jr. and Cedi Osman could see more minutes as well. Exum is only worth a […]

Larry Nance Jr. Will Play on Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Larry Nance Jr. (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He did not suit up for Monday's game due to knee soreness. Nance should see more chances coming his way with Jordan Clarkson in Utah now. He should be owned in most fantasy leagues at the moment.

De'Aaron Fox is Unable to Practice on Friday

Sacramento Kings guard De'Aaron Fox (back) was unable to suit up for practice on Friday. He suffered a back injury early in Thursday's contest and was unable to return to that game. It's unclear whether or not Fox will suit up for Saturday's game. Cory Joseph would start if Fox is unable to play and […]

Torey Krug Moved To Injured Reserve

Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug (upper body) has been placed on Injured Reserve ahead of his team's matchup with the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. The 28-year-old suffered an upper-body injury in his previous game against the Washington Capitals on Monday before the Christmas break. Krug will, at minimum, miss the rest of the 2019 calendar […]

Tre'Quan Smith Not A Viable Option Against Carolina

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not recommended in Week 17 against the Carolina Panthers. Smith has only 178 receiving yards this year but has managed to find the end zone four times. The 23-year-old hasn't seen more than four targets in a game this year and has a scarily-low floor. While he […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Questionable For Week 17

Cleveland Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (illness) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 17 against the Bengals. Seals-Jones had two touchdowns on three catches two weeks ago against the horrible Cardinals Defense versus tight ends, but he has only 14 catches for 229 yards and four touchdowns in nine games […]

Ted Ginn Too Risky Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn isn't a recommended option against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Ginn hasn't scored since Week 11 and has met or exceeded 50 receiving yards only twice. Making matters worse, New Orleans may jump out to a big lead, eliminating the need to throw the ball as much. […]

Blue Jays Sign Yamaguchi Shun

The Toronto Blue Jays signed Japanese pitcher Yamaguchi Shun to a two-year, $6.35 million deal on Friday. He'll receive $3.175 million per season and could make another $1.4 million per year in incentives if he maxes out at 170 innings. The Blue Jays will have another option for their starting rotation after adding Hyun-Jin Ryu, […]

Drew Brees Will Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Panthers. New Orleans can still get the top overall seed and home-field advantage in the NFC with a win and a 49ers loss this weekend, so they'll be playing their starters. […]

Michael Thomas Good To Go For Sunday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (hand) practiced fully on Friday and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Considering New Orleans is playing for a possible first-round bye in the playoffs, it's no surprise that Thomas will be out there. The All-Pro put up 101 yards and a touchdown […]

Dak Prescott Not On Final Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Redskins. Prescott was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll play in this must-win contest against Washington. While he probably won't be at 100 percent on […]

Danny Amendola A Risky Week 17 Start

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola came crashing back down to earth in Week 16. After receiving 29 targets over the previous three games, Amendola saw just three against the Denver Broncos. There is a good chance that Amendola gets targeted more in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, but those extra targets may […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is questionable for Week 17 against the Dolphins. The Patriots must win to keep a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs, so it'd be a huge surprise if Edelman didn't suit up on Sunday. He's been held in check the last two weeks by the Bengals […]

Kerryon Johnson An RB3 In Week 17

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson returned to action in Week 16 even with the Lions playoff hopes non-existent. Johnson did post a solid 4.2 YPC in the game but was otherwise a non-factor for most of the afternoon. A negative game script could affect Johnson in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers, but […]

Rickard Rakell Out On Friday

Anaheim Ducks winger Rickard Rakell (upper body) will miss his team's tilt with the Vegas Golden Knights on Friday. The 26-year-old suffered the injury in his team's shootout loss to the New York Islanders on Dec. 21 and was forced to miss Sunday's contest with the Rangers. The good news is that Rakell skated early […]

Latavius Murray A Good Flex Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray has a great matchup on hand against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Murray has seen at least nine touches in the last three games after seeing seven and four in Weeks 12 and 13, respectively. Carolina has allowed two opposing backs to exceed 50 scrimmage yards in […]

Kenny Golladay A Fringe WR2 Against Packers

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (chest) is questionable but expected to play in Week 17 against the Green Bay Packers after taking limited practice reps on Friday. Golladay has been wildly inconsistent without Matthew Stafford (back) under center, but came through in Week 16 with six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on […]

Alexander Radulov Expected To Return On Saturday

Dallas Stars forward Alexander Radulov (lower body) is set to make his return to the lineup as his team takes on the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The 33-year-old had missed the previous two games after suffering an injury after blocking a shot in a game versus the Lightning on Dec. 19. After reportedly wearing a […]

Alvin Kamara A Great Option In All Formats Against Panthers

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara gets a great matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. Kamara busted out of his touchdown slump in a big way last week, with 110 scrimmage yards and two scores, including a 40-yard run. The 24-year-old is set up nicely against the 31st-ranked run defense of the […]

Tristan Jarry In Net For Pens On Friday

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry will take his place in between the pipes as his team takes on the Nashville Predators on Friday. Having started eight of the Pens' past ten games, Jarry has seemingly taken the starting reigns in Pittsburgh. The 24-year-old's rise is supported by continued excellence in 2019-2020 - leading the NHL […]

Zach Ertz, Nelson Agholor Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (back, ribs) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Giants. Right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) is questionable. Philly's offense is extremely beat up for this must-win game against New York. With Ertz out, Dallas Goedert will […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Deshaun Watson, Kenny Stills Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (illness) and Kenny Stills (knee) and quarterback Deshaun Watson (back) are all listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Titans. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) is also questionable. With little to play for in the regular season finale, it's possible all of them could be inactive or limited […]
