Toronto Raptors guard Kyle Lowry finished with 29 points, seven assists, four rebounds, one steal, and a blocked shot on 11-for-18 shooting from the field and 6-for-10 from deep in Friday's 112-106 loss to the Celtics. Lowry took on a key role offensively on a night where many teammates were struggling to score, including Marc […]

Pascal Siakam Continues Offensive Production With 33 Points

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam was once again the focal point offensively, scoring 33 points on 11-for-22 shooting from the field, 5-for-7 from three-point range, and 6-for-6 from the line in Friday's 112-106 loss to the Celtics. The 25-year-old added eight rebounds, two assists and two turnovers in another offensive display, carrying the scoring load […]

Miles Bridges Continues Efficient Play

Charlotte Hornets small forward Miles Bridges had a solid outing versus the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday. Bridges scored 17 points going five for eight from the field with three of those made shots coming from beyond the arc. This has been the start Bridges was hoping for as he has averaged 12.5 points and two blocks […]

PJ Washington Records First NBA Double-Double

Charlotte Hornets power forward PJ Washington had a hot start Friday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Washington scored 10 points going four for eight from the floor with 10 boards. In the first quarter of Friday's contest, Washington racked up eight of those ten points. The sample size may be small but in the first two […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores Decently But That's About It

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins performed passably Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Wiggins scored 16 points going six for thirteen from the floor with none of those made shots coming from three-point range. Also in the contest, Wiggins had four boards and two assists. In the first two games of the season, Wiggins has […]

Josh Okogie Comes Off The Bench To Give Solid Production

Minnesota Timberwolves shooting guard Josh Okogie had a good outing versus the Charlotte Hornets Friday. Okogie scored 14 points shooting five for six from the field. Also in the contest, Okogie had four rebounds and three assists. To start the season Okogie has played fairly well. In the first two games of this season, Okogie […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Continues To Dominate

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns played spectacularly Friday against the Charlotte Hornets. Towns scored 37 points going 13-of-18 from the floor. In addition to KAT's immense scoring production, he also tallied 15 boards, eight assists, and four steals. To start the season Towns has been on fire averaging 36.5 points, 14.5 rebounds, with 3.5 steals, […]

Shohei Ohtani Up To 100 Feet In Throwing Program

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter/starting pitcher Shohei Ohtani (elbow, knee) is up to 100 feet in his throwing program and is on track to get on a mound in late November. The Japanese star had knee surgery in September. Ohtani is also working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He was only used as […]

Buccaneers Defense Could Get Jason Pierre-Paul Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) has a chance to make his season debut against the Titans in Week 8. It's still unlikely that Tampa waits at least another week to bring JPP back, but it's a good sign that Pierre-Paul has made progress from his neck […]

Cowboys Seeking Team-Friendly Deal With Dak Prescott

The Dallas Cowboys expect to eventually work out a contract extension with quarterback Dak Prescott, but they are seeking a team-friendly deal that will allow them to build a team around Prescott. The quarterback is expected to get something above the $32 million per year in new money that the Eagles gave Carson Wentz. Owner […]

Rajon Rondo Remains Out Friday

Los Angeles Lakers point guard Rajon Rondo (calf) will miss his second straight game Friday night against the Utah Jazz. Rondo looked good in practice, but will remain out with calf soreness. With Rondo out, Avery Bradley will remain in the starting lineup while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Quinn Cook will get more run of the […]

Matt Breida Must Reassert Himself

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida enters Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers on a downward trend. While he missed some time in Week 7 undergoing concussion protocol, Breida has yielded the backfield to Tevin Coleman since the latter’s return from injury. Averaging just 33 percent of snaps over the past three weeks, every […]

Tevin Coleman Needs To Improve Efficiency

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman has distanced himself as the lead back since returning from a high ankle sprain. Against a weak Carolina Panthers rush defense, Coleman is an upside RB2. Coleman’s amassed 58 touches over the past three games and the volume bodes well in the run-heaviest offense in the NFL. While […]

George Kittle Hoping For A Bounce-Back Game

Like his offensive teammates, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle had a forgettable Week 7 in a slop fest against the Washington Redskins. While his test in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers is daunting, Kittle is poised for a bounce back. The weekly TE1 continues leading all Niners receivers in all pass-catching metrics, […]

49ers Defense Should Extend Nasty Streak

The San Francisco 49ers Defense is safe to fire up as a fantasy defensive unit in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. Led by the best defensive line according to Football Outsiders, the Niners have bagged 20 sacks and 13 takeaways during their undefeated start to 2019. The visiting Panthers boast a promising 4-2 record […]

Demaryius Thomas Hoping To Turn Targets Into Catches

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will look to continue to get more involved in the offense this Sunday in Jacksonville. Thomas has gotten nine targets in two of the past three games and seems to be fully recovered from an early-season hamstring injury. Despite the target volume, Thomas doesn't have more than four […]

Saints Defense A Great Option In Week 8

The New Orleans Saints Defense will face rookie quarterback Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. It's a potentially great matchup for New Orleans, who ranks sixth in the NFL with 20 sacks. The Cardinals offensive line has allowed 23 sacks to Murray. The Saints should ramp up the pressure against Murray and […]

Ryan Griffin Likely Starting Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin will likely start again Sunday with starter Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) listed as doubtful for the game in Jacksonville. Griffin has started every game for the Jets this season with Herndon suspended and then injured, but Griffin hasn't been able to turn opportunity into success for fantasy owners. […]

Wil Lutz Could Be Busy Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz draws a good matchup against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8. The 25-year-old had four field-goal attempts in a game for the third time this season but missed two attempts last week. The Cardinals Defense has allowed 27.4 points per game to opposing offenses, 28th in the league. The […]

Josh Hill A Sneaky Sleeper Against Cardinals

New Orleans Saints tight end Josh Hill will start his second straight game in place of injured starter Jared Cook (ankle) in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The 29-year-old caught all three targets for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Chicago Bears last week. It's too good of a matchup for Hill here, […]

Ted Ginn A Risky Flex In Week 8

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn has a favorable matchup in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals but isn't a recommended start. Ginn has had at least five targets in four games with Teddy Bridgewater under center. Unfortunately, he hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards yet in these games and has caught just one […]

Chandler Jones An Iffy Start

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones is second among linebackers in fantasy points over the last five weeks. His 7.5 sacks is his forte, but he has a tough draw against the New Orleans Saints this week. The Saints have allowed just nine sacks in the last five games. Jones doesn't tackle enough to offset the […]

Mitchell Robinson Will Start Friday In Brooklyn

New York Knicks center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) will make his season debut and enter the starting lineup Friday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Robinson missed the season opener Wednesday due to an ankle injury. However, he was able to practice with no setbacks this week and seemed to be fully recovered. Robinson's return will push […]

KeeSean Johnson Not Worth The Risk

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has done very little in wide receiver Christian Kirk's (ankle) absence, but there's a chance Kirk misses Week 8 as well. Johnson has seen steady targets, but he has little to show for it. He's worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but he's not worth the risk in traditional formats.

Larry Fitzgerald An Uninspiring Play

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been pretty underwhelming over the last five weeks as he's 45th in fantasy points among receivers in standard formats. In his defense, the team has run the ball frequently, and no one has stepped up in wide receiver Christian Kirk's (ankle) absence. Kirk is a game-time decision, but […]

Chase Edmonds Worth The Play

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds broke out last week with 126 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and starting running back David Johnson (ankle) is a game-time decision. Edmonds is worth playing whether Johnson goes or not. It's not a good matchup against the New Orleans Saints, though. They've been one of the best against […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Will Not Play Friday Night

Utah Jazz guard/forward Bojan Bogdanovic (ankle) has been ruled out Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. Bogdanovic suffered a left ankle sprain in Wednesday's season opener and will be unable to suit up in Los Angeles. With Bogdanovic ruled out, head coach Quin Snyder has room to play with the starting lineup. Joe Ingles […]

Kyler Murray A Back-End Option

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray sputtered in a great matchup last week as running back Chase Edmonds stole the show. The New Orleans Saints are a stout defense, but they bend to quarterbacks a bit. The Saints have been a midrange defense to the position the last five weeks. Murray is 10th among quarterbacks in […]

Travis Kelce Should Remain Reliable for Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has not caught a touchdown since Week 2, but has found a way to remain reliable for fantasy owners. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) could be a significant blow to the Chiefs offense. They will have veteran Matt Moore under center for Sunday's Week 8 matchup versus […]

Mecole Hardman Loses Significant Value

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been a reliable option for the team while Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins have been banged up early in the season. However, both players are healthy and active for Sunday's Week 8 contest against Green Bay. Hardman has hauled in at least two receptions in every game […]
