Karl-Anthony Towns Out Again Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) will miss his fourth straight game Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. Towns continues to nurse a knee injury and has done little on-court work over the past week. This injury seems like it will linger on, but Towns is being treated as day-to-day in the meantime. Minnesota […]

Dolphins Sign Samaje Perine

The Miami Dolphins signed running back Samaje Perine off the Cincinnati Bengals practice squad on Monday, according to a source. A former starter with the Redskins, Perine will join Miami this week and will be part of the team in 2020. Rookie Myles Gaskin (ankle) will miss Week 17, so Perine could chip in alongside […]

Steelers Optimistic About Ben Roethlisberger's Recovery

The Pittsburgh Steelers are optimistic that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (elbow) will recover from elbow surgery to reattach three tendons in his right arm. Big Ben isn't cleared to throw yet, but he is recovering nicely and wants and expects to play in 2020 and beyond, according to sources. Roethlisberger, who will be 38 in March, […]

Seahawks To Sign Robert Turbin, Marshawn Lynch May Be Next

The Seattle Seahawks are expected to sign running back Robert Turbin and are still working on a deal to add Marshawn Lynch, according to sources. Both Turbin (2012-14) and Lynch 2010-15 will be reuniting with the Seahawks after they've lost Chris Carson (hip), Rashaad Penny (knee) and C.J. Prosise (arm) in recent weeks. Turbin and […]

Carmelo Anthony Will Play Without Restriction Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony (knee) will play Monday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Anthony left Friday's game and sat out Saturday with a knee contusion but is good to go Monday. It was also reported Anthony will not have a minutes limit, so the injury seems to be very minor. Anthony Tolliver will […]

Dante Exum Traded To Cleveland

Utah Jazz guard Dante Exum has been traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers for Jordan Clarkson. The Cavs are also receiving two future second-round picks in the deal. Exum has not played in the past five games and had a very limited bench role with the Jazz, so this does wonders for his fantasy potential. Exum […]

Jordan Clarkson Traded To Jazz

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson has been traded to the Utah Jazz for guard Dante Exum and two future second-round picks. Clarkson was playing well offensively off the bench with Cleveland, averaging 14.6 points in 23.0 minutes per game. Clarkson will likely have a similar role off the bench in Utah, especially with Mike Conley […]

Alexander Mattison Is Inactive On Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is officially inactive for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. This news sets the stage for Mike Boone to lead the backfield and handle the majority of running back touches against a Packers Defense that ranks 25th in rush DVOA and fantasy points allowed to the position. […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Will Not Play Monday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) will not play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown is dealing with calf soreness and is being treated as day-to-day, but the Pistons will be thin in the backcourt for this one. With Brown and Luke Kennard (knee) out, Langston Galloway, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, and Derrick Rose will all […]

Jonas Valanciunas Will Start Monday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) will start Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Valanciunas missed one game with a sore foot, but will return to his normal starting role in this contest. Solomon Hill will return to the bench and lose most, if not all, of his short-term fantasy value.

Malcolm Brogdon Out, Jeremy Lamb In Monday

The Indiana Pacers will be without Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), but will see the return of Jeremy Lamb (groin) against the Toronto Raptors Monday night. Lamb will be returning after a two-game absence, but Brogdon will miss his first with a hamstring ailment. This is the second night of a back-to-back, so the Pacers could erring […]

Blake Griffin Will Try to Play on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (illness) will try to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The good news is, Griffin is over his knee and hamstring issues, but can't seem to get over the flu. It appears he'll make an effort to play, but he seems like a risky DFS option for Monday. Christian […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Sit on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He must've tweaked his groin during Sunday's game, so the Pacers might take the cautious approach here. Aaron Holiday would benefit the most if Brogdon does sit this one out. He'd be worth a look as […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers have been cautious with Embiid throughout his career, so it wouldn't be surprising to see them hold him out against Detroit. Mike Scott, Kyle O'Quinn, and Norvel Pelle would see increased roles if Embiid sits out. […]

John Collins Won't Be Restricted on Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (suspension) is available for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Collins was suspended 25 games, but fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging him back into your fantasy lineups. He won't have any restrictions for Monday's contest. Collins and Trae Young will be asked to do most of the heavy […]

Leighton Vander Esch To Undergo Procedure

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) will undergo a minimally invasive procedure on his neck in the next few weeks, and he should be cleared for the offseason program, according to sources. Vander Esch has missed the last five games with a nerve issue in his neck after suffering the injury in October. The […]

Taj Gibson Might Sit Against Wizards

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson hasn't been playing well lately and the Knicks have too many big guys. Marcus Morris (Achilles) is doubtful, so Gibson could see an uptick in minutes this game. However, Kevin Knox is looking like a decent […]

Jordan Howard To Return In Week 17

The Philadelphia Eagles will get running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) back in Week 17 against the Giants. As a result, the Eagles are releasing running back Jay Ajayi, according to a source. Howard has missed six straight games, but the Eagles will have him back in the regular season finale. If they win, they win […]

Marcus Morris is Doubtful for Monday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Knicks season has gone sideways and Morris has decent trade value. The team isn't going to push Morris onto the court until he's 100 percent ready to play. Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for […]

Luke Kennard is Listed as Out for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kennard continues to deal with knee soreness and it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. The Pistons aren't playing well, so they have no incentive to rush him back to the court. Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) […]

Derrick Rose is Probable Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pistons are going to be cautious with Rose, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out. Luke Kennard (knee) is already ruled out, while Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) is questionable for this one. Langston Galloway […]

Bruce Brown Jr. is Questionable for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's dealing with calf soreness, but the team believes it's a day-to-day type of issue. Luke Kennard (knee) is already going to be sidelined for this one. Langston Galloway, Svi Mykhailiuk, and Derrick Rose (knee) should get […]

Derrick Henry Expected To Return In Week 17

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 17 against the Texans, and he'll be as healthy as he's been in a long time for the must-win game. Henry's hamstring injury didn't get worse last week, but the Titans simply chose to rest their stud running back for the most […]

Jeremy Lamb is Questionable on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's missed two games in a row since he suffered this groin injury. Aaron Holiday has played well in the absence of Lamb. He'll likely see over 30 minutes again if Lamb sits out. Holiday could be a […]

Christian Wood is Probable for Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is surprising news since the Pistons announced that he'd be re-evaluated in a week. Blake Griffin seems to be always banged up and Andre Drummond has been thrown around in trade rumors. Wood and Markieff Morris could […]

Dario Saric Will Play on Monday

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (leg) is available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as probable heading into this one, but he's officially good to go here. He didn't play well in his last performance, but should get more chances with Deandre Ayton (ankle) sidelined on Monday. Saric could be a […]

Frank Kaminsky is Available Against Nuggets

Phoenix Suns forward Frank Kaminsky (knee) will be available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Kaminsky has been hit-or-miss this season in terms of fantasy production. Deandre Ayton (ankle) is sidelined, so Kaminsky should see an increased workload. However, he's averaged 12 minutes over the last two games. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere for […]

Ricky Rubio is Fine for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (illness) will be available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed their last game due to an illness, but it appears he's ready to return here. Elie Okobo will head back to the bench, but did play well against the Rockets last game. However, he won't have much […]

Shabazz Napier is Questionable for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shabazz Napier (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Wolves will likely wait and see how Napier feels after warmups before making a final decision. Jeff Teague would see an increased workload if Napier is out on Monday. Teague would be worth a look for […]

Josh Jacobs Has A Chance To Play In Week 17

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) has a chance to play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Broncos. Jacobs left his fantasy owners out to dry in the finals in Week 16, but he could return for those that are still playing for something against Denver. The 21-year-old has been […]
