Alexandre Texier Nets Two Goals In Saturday's Loss

Columbus Blue Jackets center Alexandre Texier produced a two-goal performance on Saturday against Ottawa, helping the team erase a two-goal deficit in the third frame, but the team still had to settle for an overtime loss in the end. Cam Atkinson also scored for the Jackets in a 4-3 defeat, Eric Robinson and Pierre-Luc Dubois […]

Anthony Duclair Continues Hot Streak With Hat Trick

Ottawa Senators left wing Anthony Duclair continued his hot form on Saturday with a hat trick in a 4-3 overtime win over Columbus. The Sens blew a two-goal lead in the third period, but Duclair popped up with a power-play goal in overtime. The former Blue Jacket now has three multi-goal performances in his last […]

Paul Richardson Placed On Injured Reserve

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson is done for the 2019 season, as the team has set him on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. It marks the second consecutive season that Richardson’s campaign has come to an end while on IR, as the wideout had not suited up since Week 12 against Detroit. […]

NFL DFS Prop Picks for Week 15 (12/15/19) - Monkey Knife Fight

Week 15 in the National Football League brings some critical games with postseason implications and then some games involving teams playing out the string that can still have some appeal for fantasy purposes. There are three games with double-digit favorites (Kansas City vs. Denver, New England at Cincinnati, and San Francisco vs. Atlanta) and six […]

Drew Brees, Jared Cook Listed As Full Participants

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (elbow) and tight end Jared Cook (concussion) were both listed as full participants. Brees was a late add to the injury report on Friday with an elbow injury that looked to have occurred on the last drive of a narrow, Week 14 loss to the 49ers. Cook was able […]

T.Y. Hilton A Game-Time Decision Against Saints

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) is a game-time decision for Monday Night Football against the New Orleans Saints. The 30-year-old is closer to a return this week after being limited in practice, compared to DNPs last week. Even if he does suit up, it's risky to play him, considering it's a Monday night […]

Vikings Defense Is A Sneaky Week 15 Play

The Vikings Defense has been inconsistent this season, but they definitely have the talent to put up a solid total on the road in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Vikings racked up five sacks and two interceptions against David Blough and the Detroit Lions last week. Phillip Rivers awaits in Week 15, […]

Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) have been ruled out for Week 15 against the Washington Redskins. Howard was limited all week and is probably closer to a return than Agholor, who logged three DNPs this week. With Howard out, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott will lead the […]

Irv Smith Jr. Isn't In A Prime Spot

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. is not a recommended option for Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith Jr. actually received more snaps and targets than Kyle Rudolph in a Week 14 victory over the Detroit Lions, but he was only able to muster three catches for 21 yards. He just simply […]

Kyle Rudolph Is A Low-End TE2

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph saw his four-game touchdown streak come to and end last week against the Lions, and his outlook for Week 15 isn't looking encouraging. The Chargers Defense has allowed an average of just under four catches per game to tight ends this season and safety Derwin James has made a […]

As you set your Week 15 fantasy football playoff lineups, there may be some players who make you feel very uncomfortable about starting them. Based on recent lackluster performances, injuries, or just an intangible bad vibe, it's a struggle to insert them into your lineup in a do-or-die week. But you may also nervous be […]

Drew Lock: Is He Ready For Fantasy Football Playoff Consideration?

There is much excitement in Denver after Drew Lock put on an air display at Houston last week. In just his second NFL start, the rookie threw for 309 yards and three TD passes, all in the first half, as the Broncos stunned the AFC South leaders, 38-24. The final score doesn’t indicate what type […]

Fleaflicker's Most Added and Dropped: Week 15

Week 14 was a boring one on Tank Street, with all of the crowd favorites managing to take care of business and keep on losing. We did have another early contender fizzle out after Atlanta won their third game out of five, after starting the season a near-perfect 1-7. With two of their three remaining […]

Kerryon Johnson Nearing A Return

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee, IR) is setback-free and nearing a return to the field. Johnson hasn't played since tearing his meniscus in Week 7, which he had November surgery to repair. The 22-year-old has practiced the last two weeks, earning the praise of Coach Matt Patricia for his "good energy." With the […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Scores Career-High 43 Points In Dominant Performance

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. went off for a career-high in multiple categories in Friday's 127-114 loss to the Bucks, finishing with 43 points, five rebounds, one assist and one block on 14-for-21 shooting from the field and 9-for-15 from three-point range in 29 minutes. The 20-year-old exploded for 26 points in the third […]

Red Zone Usage Risers and Fallers - Week 15

Valeri Nichushkin Extends Point Streak to Four Games

Colorado Avalanche forward Valeri Nichushkin scored a goal in Friday night's win over New Jersey, giving him his sixth goal of the season and third in the last four games. Nichushkin is now on a four-game point streak, the longest of his NHL career, and has recorded eight points in his last 10 games. After […]

Montreal's Cayden Primeau Sent Down

Backup goalie changes are not usually of major importance in the fantasy news landscape but could this move be related to the Taylor Hall trade rumors that are swirling? Cayden Primeau's promotion over the more experience Charlie Lindgren (who has now been promoted) always seemed like a curious decision. It may have been a move […]

Taylor Hall Held Out Against Colorado, Trade Rumors Swirling

New Jersey Devils forward Taylor Hall did not play in Friday night's game against the Avalanche, reportedly held out as a healthy scratch as a precaution. As if being held out of the game was not enough to send the hockey world into a frenzy, Peter McNab on the Colorado broadcast pointed out that "Taylor […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (12/14/19): NBA DFS Lineups

Seven game slates lead to some of the best nights because they offer enough variance to keep it interesting, but you won't run into all the same dopes running the same lineup. As much as everyone wants to win, playing the same lineup hurt your chances and it's always better to have a little bit […]

Another Strong Showing for Pavel Francouz in Colorado Win

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz allowed only a single goal on 38 shots against New Jersey, earning him his ninth win of the season. Francouz has taken over the starter's role while Phillip Grubauer is sidelined with an injury, and has run with it, winning three of his four appearances and stopping 113 of 120 […]

Tyler Boyd A Volatile Option On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd is a risky option on Sunday when he takes on the Patriots top-ranked pass defense, which is allowing only 25 PPR points a game to receivers. Boyd usually sees the lions share of the Bengals' targets; however, he was out-targeted by Alex Erickson last week, and the two were […]

Joe Nicely's Top 10 PGA Golfers Of The Decade

December has lots of great traits. Christmas and all its trappings are, of course, wonderful. We also have both college and pro football getting down to the nitty gritty during this time of year, with basketball just beginning to get geared up. Unfortunately, what we don't have much of is (real) golf, which leaves golf […]

Andy Dalton Off Streaming Radar

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton finds himself in a matchup to avoid on Sunday against the Patriots' league-best passing defense. New England has allowed only 15.4 points a game to opposing quarterbacks, and Dalton hasn't topped 262 yards through the air in his two games since being back under center. He should see a fair […]

Joe Mixon In For Long Game on Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will get a stern test on Sunday against the New England Patriots. The Patriots are tops in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to running backs, only giving up 16 PPR points a game to the position. While Mixon has been trending up of late, he did only see […]

Zach LaVine Scuffles Mightily From Field During Defeat

Chicago Bulls shooting guard Zach LaVine managed to tie for the team lead in scoring during Friday’s loss to the Charlotte Hornets, but even that meant just 12 points on 4-for-19 shooting. His outing was aided by the eight rebounds and two assists that he collected, but it was a step backwards on the heels […]

Cody Zeller, Bismack Biyombo Combine For Huge Outing

If the duo of Cody Zeller and Bismack Biyombo were one player for the Charlotte Hornets, they would have put together a monster 23-point, 19-rebound evening during Friday’s win over the Chicago Bulls. Instead, the two each played 24 minutes, with Zeller notching a double-double (his second in his last three games) off the bench […]

PJ Washington Collects Second Career Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets power forward PJ Washington tied his career high in shot attempts with 17 during Friday’s win over the Chicago Bulls, utilizing that aggressiveness to assist him in notching the second double-double of his career. Washington finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds, also pitching in three blocked shots, which marked his sixth consecutive […]
