Dodgers and Padres Interested in Mike Clevinger

The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres are two teams reportedly interested in Cleveland Indians starting pitcher Mike Clevinger. Clevinger was limited by injuries in 2019, but he was excellent whenever he was on the mound, pitching in 21 games and posting a 2.71 ERA with 169 strikeouts in 126 innings. He has the […]

Dawson Knox Can't Be Trusted In Week 16

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was third on the team in receiving in Week 15. Unfortunately, that didn't mean much in a game where quarterback Josh Allen threw for only 139 yards. Knox had one catch on one target for 11 yards in the game. Knox has had a very uninspiring run the past […]

Justin Smoak Signs With the Brewers

The Milwaukee Brewers and free-agent first baseman Justin Smoak have agreed to terms on a one-year, $5 million contract. The deal comes with a team option for 2021 worth $5.5 million with a $1 million buyout, meaning Smoak will earn at least $6 million on the deal. He struggled mightily last season with the Blue […]

Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas Miss Practice

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (illness) and Demaryius Thomas (ankle, knee) are not practicing on Thursday. Thomas also missed practice on Wednesday, so he's not in a good spot to return in Week 16 against the Steelers. Vyncint Smith filled in for DT last week as the third wideout, but he's not a […]

Cole Beasley Is A Worthy WR3/Flex Play In PPR For Week 16

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley had an awful game in Week 15 against the Steelers, catching just one of his six targets for six yards. This week, Beasley and the Bills face a very tough Patriots pass defense. Last time these two teams met, Beasley actually had one of his better all-around games of […]

Chris Godwin Absent Again Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) was absent from practice again on Thursday. Godwin is fully expected to miss the final two games of the season after pulling his hamstring in Week 15. You won't be able to use him for your fantasy championship matches, unfortunately. Breshad Perriman, who broke out for three […]

Jerry Jones Optimistic About Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones showed some optimism on the status of quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) for Week 16 in the important meeting with the Eagles. "I’m totally convinced he’ll be in top form. We need him in top form and he will be in top form," Jones said. Prescott should be active, but he […]

John Brown Is A High-End WR3 In Week 16

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown managed to break free from recent struggles with a 99-yard game in Week 15 against the Steelers. Brown had failed to top 40 receiving yards in his previous three games before Week 15. This week, Brown faces one of the league's toughest pass defenses, the Patriots. Quarterback Josh Allen […]

Alexander Mattison Has A "Good Chance" To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) missed his first game of the year in Week 15 and is currently questionable for Week 16 against the Packers. Mattison is yet to practice this week but appears to be nearing a return to practice in a limited capacity. Head coach Mike Zimmer told reporters that he […]

Dalvin Cook Unlikely To Play In Week 16

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) appears unlikely to play in Week 16, according to recent reports. Cook has played in all 14 games so far this year but suffered his shoulder injury in Week 15 and couldn't finish the game. He has 1,135 rushing yards and 13 rushing touchdowns this year. Cook's backup, Alexander […]

T.J. Yeldon Likely To Be Inactive In Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for eight straight games, and that streak is likely to continue in Week 16 as the team's top two rushers -- Devin Singletary and Frank Gore -- are both healthy. Yeldon saw a little playing time earlier this year when Singletary was out, but the team has gone […]

Frank Gore Cannot Be Trusted In Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has had three straight absolute duds. You can't blame the Bills as they've tried to get him involved. Gore has 23 carries over the past three weeks but has managed just 32 yards on those carries, amounting to less than 1.5 yards per carry. Devin Singletary is the clear […]

Devin Singletary Is A Worthy RB2 In Week 16

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary faces a tough matchup against the Patriots in Week 16, but his workload figures to be heavy enough that it will allow him to overcome it. Singletary has earned over 20 touches in three of his past four games and is averaging a stellar 5.4 yards per carry on […]

Josh Allen Faces Tough Week 16 Matchup Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had a nightmare of a game last time he faced the Patriots. In Week 4 against the Patriots, the Bills suffered their first loss of the year while Allen completed just 13-of-28 passes for 153 yards with no touchdown passes and three interceptions. He did have a rushing touchdown in […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 9

Despite the NBA's best attempt to minimize the wear and tear players accrue over a long 82-game season, injuries have continued to flare up at every turn in 2019-20, affecting some of the game's best talents. We know of the injuries suffered to Stephen Curry and Zion Williamson, but Kyrie Irving hasn't played in over a […]

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

The Thursday NBA DFS slate will tip-off at 7:30 EST with a small player pool of four games to dissect.  Remember that ownership percentages can often be extremely lopsided on these small slates. If a play seems obvious, expect to see that player in the lineups of competitors.  I'm not saying to avoid the best […]

Adam Henrique Scores Against Former Team

Anaheim Ducks center Adam Henrique showed the New Jersey Devils what they are missing by opening the scoring in Wednesday's 3-1 loss. The 29-year-old center played in 455 regular-season games for the Devils before they traded him in November 2017. Henrique has been a solid player for the Ducks and he started this season off […]

2019 Season in Review - Matt Carpenter

Matt Carpenter had a down year in 2019, which came on the heels of a 2018 season that saw him finish ninth in NL MVP voting. He struggled to get in a groove at any point in 2019 and often found himself out of the lineup late in the season. This was exemplified by his […]

Mackenzie Blackwood Produces The Goods Wednesday Night

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood collected his second consecutive win on Wednesday with 26 saves in a 3-1 victory over Anaheim.

Kyle Palmieri Nets Game-Winner On Power Play

New Jersey Devils right wing Kyle Palmieri made sure that the team would start the post-Taylor Hall era with a win, scoring the decisive goal on a power play in Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Anaheim.

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell finished with 26 points on 9-for-23 shooting during Wednesday’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.

C.J. McCollum Delivers Second Straight 30-Point Performance

Portland Trail Blazers point/shooting guard C.J. McCollum nearly had an identical performance from his excellent 30-point showing versus Phoenix on Monday when he dropped 30 points on the Golden State Warriors in Wednesday’s win.

He shot 5-for-7 from the field and even nailed one three-point attempt. There's a back-to-back set coming up […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores 27 Points Wednesday Night

Minnesota Timberwolves small forward Andrew Wiggins couldn't help the team end their losing streak despite a 27-point effort on Wednesday against New Orleans. With Karl Anthony Towns (knee) out, the Wolves relied heavily on Wiggins, who ended up playing 42 minutes. He could've been a lot more effective with his play as he shot only […]

Lonzo Ball Plays Productive 21 Minutes Off The Bench

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball played a good 21 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's win over Minnesota, finishing with 10 points, six rebounds, and six assists.
