Deshaun Watson Faces Tough Chiefs Defense

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson pulled out the heroics in the wild-card round against the Bills, but in the Divisional Round he faces a tough matchup against a Chiefs Defense that's allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing passers since Week 12. If the Texans offense continues to get off to slow starts in playoff […]

George Kittle Could Be A Beast On Saturday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle is worth every DFS dollar in Saturday’s Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings. Coming off his second straight 1,000 season, the All-Pro has surged heading into the playoffs, accumulating 34 catches for 366 yards in his final four regular season contests. While the Vikings pose a tough opponent […]

Julius Randle is Ruled Out for Friday

New York Knicks forward Julius Randle (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He didn't play in Wednesday's game and will sit out his second straight contest here. It's unclear why he's away from the team, so fantasy owners should consider him questionable for Sunday. Kevin Knox and RJ […]

Deebo Samuel Surging Into Playoff Debut

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel carries positive momentum into the Divisional Round matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. After a slow start, the rookie shined in his final eight games, surpassing 100 scrimmage yards or finding the end zone in seven contests. Samuel faces a tough challenge against the Vikings seventh-best pass defense by […]

Jrue Holiday Won't Play on Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. This marks the third game in a row that Holiday has sat out due to a left elbow issue. There's a good chance that Holiday sits out of Saturday's contest as well. Josh Hart and Lonzo […]

Kevin Porter Jr. is Likely Out A Month

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks. He suffered a left knee sprain and the team said he'd be re-evaluated in two weeks. The Cavs have pushed back that timetable, which makes it tough to hold Porter in most formats. Dante Exum, Cedi Osman, and Brandon […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Might Play on Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Towns has been sidelined since December 13 due to a left knee issue. He'd be under a minutes limit if he does manage to play. Fantasy owners will have to check back closer to tip-off […]

Emmanuel Sanders Battling Bouts Of Volatility

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders heads into the Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings as a volatile WR4. In his first playoff action since 2015, the 32-year-old veteran is coming off a four-game stretch where he amassed anywhere between nine and 157 receiving yards. He’ll also draw a challenging matchup against the Vikings […]

Hassan Whiteside Misses Shootaround on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (illness) was unable to get through Thursday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Blazers will likely wait until after warm ups to make a decision on Whiteside. Anthony Tolliver would be pushed into a bigger role on Thursday. He could make for […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Miss Weekend Set

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for the upcoming back-to-back set on Friday and Saturday. The Mavs are going to continue to take the cautious approach on his sore right knee. There's a chance that he gets out there against the Warriors on Tuesday. Maximilian Kleber and Dwight Powell will continue […]

Matisse Thybulle is Back on Thursday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Matisse Thybulle (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He missed nearly three weeks of action due to a right knee issue. He'll most likely be under a minutes limit for his first game back. Furkan Korkmaz and James Ennis will see less minutes going forward. Thybulle has some […]

Eric Gordon Might Sit Out on Thursday

Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It's the same knee that Gordon had a procedure on earlier in the season. Most likely the Rockets are going to take the cautious approach and have Gordon sit out here. Austin Rivers and Ben McLemore should […]

Brewers Agree With Logan Morrison

The Milwaukee Brewers agreed to an undisclosed deal with first baseman/outfielder Logan Morrison on Thursday, according to sources. Morrison slugged a career-high 38 home runs and drove in 85 runs in 149 games for the Rays in 2017, but he has fallen off a cliff since. He hit a miserable .186/.276/.368 with 15 homers and […]

Lamar Jackson Is Ready For Action

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson set a new standard in fantasy football this season with his rushing prowess. His game-changing numbers even evoked the conversation of adjusting how we award points to quarterbacks. Jackson is coming off two weeks of rest heading into the divisional round against the Tennessee Titans. With Mark Ingram listed as […]

Davis Bertans is Available on Friday

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans (quad) is available for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's been sidelined since December 21 due to a right quad issue. Bertans is most likely going to be under a minutes limit for his first game back. Anzejs Pasecniks will see less minutes coming his way. Bertans probably won't […]

Danilo Gallinari is Questionable for Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Danilo Gallinari (calf) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. He was listed as out on the injury report, but something must have changed during shootaround. Darius Bazely would head back to the bench and lose his streaming appeal if Gallinari plays. Fantasy owners will need to […]

Cardinals Acquire Prospect Matthew Liberatore

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired pitching prospect Matthew Liberatore from the Rays on Thursday, according to sources familiar with the deal. It's part of a trade expected to send major league pieces back to Tampa, who has been searching for outfield bats. Liberatore, 20, is a left-handed starter that was ranked as Tampa's No. 4 […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Expected to Miss Weeks

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the foreseeable future. An MRI confirmed that Carter has a high ankle sprain, so he's likely going to miss multiple weeks. Thaddeus Young and Daniel Gafford should have fantasy value while Carter is sidelined. Both are worth looking at, but Young is […]

Marvin Bagley Practices on Thursday

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley (foot) was able to fully practice on Thursday. Richaun Holmes (shoulder) is expected to miss at least one more game. He didn't practice on Thursday, so Bagley could slide into a bigger role on Friday. More information should be known after Friday's shootaround. Bagley should be a decent fantasy option […]

Dee Ford Questionable Against Vikings

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) is listed as questionable for the Divisional Round against the Vikings. Linebacker Kwon Alexander is coming off Injured Reserve since tearing his pectoral muscle on Halloween and strong safety Jaquiski Tartt (ribs) will also return. Getting pass-rusher Ford back as well would be even more good news […]

Richaun Holmes Sits Out of Practice

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (shoulder) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He downplayed the injury, but sat out of Tuesday's game. He didn't practice on Thursday, which means he likely won't play on Friday versus the Milwaukee Bucks. Harry Giles and Dewayne Dedmon should soak up the extra minutes. Neither player has […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Unable to Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He did get up some shots after practice, but was reportedly unable to jump. It seems unlikely that Bogdanovic will be out there for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Trevor Ariza should continue to absorb extra playing time. He's worth […]

Avery Bradley Might Sit On Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Bradley was not able to finish Thursday's practice after experiencing a fever. He will travel with the team, but we'll see if Bradley actually plays. Rajon Rondo, Alex Caruso and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope would see more minutes if […]

Stephen Curry Should Be Re-Evaluated in January

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (hand) was able to go through some shooting drills on Thursday. It's good news, but the Warriors aren't in any rush to bring Curry back to the court. He's expected to be re-evaluated in two or three weeks. There's a chance that Curry gets back on the court around […]

Marvin Williams Might Play on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams (nose) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He's missed each of the last two games after undergoing a procedure to repair his broken nose. There's a chance that he wears a mask, but he shouldn't be sidelined any longer. Fantasy owners should check back on […]

D'Angelo Russell Returns to Practice

Golden State Warriors guard D'Angelo Russell (shoulder) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He hasn't played since December 28 due to a bruised right shoulder. Russell is traveling with the team for their game against the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday. It's unclear whether or not Russell would be on a minutes limit […]

Draymond Green Doesn't Practice Thursday

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green (ankle) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. He's listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. Green is dealing with a minor ankle injury, but shouldn't be sidelined for too long. Eric Paschall and Willie Cauley-Stein would likely benefit the most if Green is […]

Tevin Coleman Trending In Wrong Direction

San Francisco 49ers running back Tevin Coleman will likely be a distant second option behind starter Raheem Mostert in Saturday’s Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings. Coleman cracked 700 scrimmage yards this year but struggled with efficiency, opening the door for Mostert to dominate touches to end the regular season. Coleman averaged under five touches […]

Mark Ingram, Mark Andrews Questionable

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) and tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) are both listed as questionable for the Divisional Round against the Titans on Saturday after both were limited in practice on Thursday. Andrews is expected to play, while Ingram is more of a question mark. Both players were held out of a […]

Matt Breida's Opportunities Will Likely Be Limited

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida sits at third on the rushing depth chart and is a desperation flex in the Divisional Round against the Minnesota Vikings. Even after finishing the year with over 700 scrimmage yards at an efficient 5.2 yards per touch, Breida has yielded backfield duties to a surging Raheem Mostert […]
