Gabriel Landeskog Scores In His Comeback Game

Colorado Avalanche left wing Gabriel Landeskog made his first appearance since Oct. 25 on Thursday, scoring the team's second goal in a 3-2 win over Montreal. Ryan Graves opened the scoring and Matt Calvert notched the game-winner with a short-handed marker. Nathan MacKinnon had a rare off night with zero points. Landeskog started on the […]

Petr Mrazek Picks Up Another Home Win

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Petr Mrazek saved 28 of 30 shots in Thursday's 3-2 shootout win over San Jose, improving his record for the year to 12-6-1.

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid had a big performance on Thursday against Washington, finishing a 119-113 loss with 26 points and a season-high 21 rebounds. He was busy at the line with an 11-for-14 record and he shot 7-for-12 overall from the floor in 35 minutes. Embiid also extended his streak with at least one […]

Davis Bertans Produces Another 20-Point Performance

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans continued his hot start to December on Thursday, scoring a season-high 25 points off the bench in a 119-113 win over Philadelphia. The Latvian looked unplayable in the second quarter, scoring nearly half (19) of the team's 40 points. He finished with 9-for-16 shooting and made seven treys. Bertans has […]

Rui Hachimura Scores Team-High 27 Points Thursday Night

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura played a huge part in Thursday's win over Philadelphia, leading the team in scoring with 27 points and logging a game-high 43 minutes. He shot 11-for-18 from the field and 4-for-4 at the line, while notching seven rebounds and two steals. Hachimura disappointed last month as he barely averaged 10 […]

Week 14 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

It's finally here... The fantasy playoffs for most leagues. Hopefully you have a chance to win a fantasy championship in the next few weeks. If you're lucky, you have a first-round bye and won't have to worry about anything this week except for picking out a Christmas tree and setting up all your holiday decorations. […]

Bradley Beal Scores Inefficient 26 Points Versus Sixers

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal had a rough shooting night on Thursday against the Sixers, but he still managed to get close to his season average with 26 points. He shot 7-for-24 from the field but got the job nice nicely at the line with an 11-for-13 success rate. Beal also produced his fifth […]

Jonathan Villar to Marlins - Fantasy Impact

The low-budget Marlins made a splash (pun intended) on the free-agent front in their typically cost-prohibitive way by picking up recently waived infield Jonathan Villar in exchange for minor leaguer Easton Lucas. They also claimed first baseman Jesus Aguilar, who is one year removed from a 35-HR, 108-RBI season but struggled mightily last year between […]

Fantasy Football Booms, Busts - Zach Pascal, Jamaal Williams, Gardner Minshew

Whether this is the first week of your playoffs, the last week of your regular season, or the time to win a DFS league to pay for your holiday presents, this is the most crucial week of your fantasy football season. While my booms from last week (Robert Woods, Jack Doyle, Dede Westbrook, Kyle Allen) […]

NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 14 (12/8/19)

In Week 13, we came out even again. Baltimore and that first-half under in the Arizona game came through thanks to Arizona's lack of an offense. Minnesota let us down late against Seattle and then Jacksonville forgot where their offense ran off to. So, all in all, it could have been much worse. Week 13 […]

Anthony Miller Hauls In A Touchdown In Win

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller recorded just three catches for 42 yards against the Cowboys but hauled in a touchdown toss from Mitch Trubisky midway through the third quarter. Though the 25-year-old had a much more efficient outing on Thanksgiving against the Lions, he continued to benefit from the absence of Taylor Gabriel (concussion), […]

Allen Robinson Scores Twice On Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson had five catches for 48 yards and two touchdowns during the win over Dallas on Thursday. Robinson picked up both of his touchdowns in the second quarter and has now scored four times over the last three weeks while also combining for 30 targets during that span. He should […]

Tarik Cohen Has Six Catches In Win

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen pulled in all six of his targets for 24 yards in the win over the Cowboys. He also had seven yards off of three carries. Once again, Cohen did little on the ground as David Montgomery served as the workhorse on Thursday by logging 86 yards on 20 attempts. […]

J.J. Redick Ties Season High With 26-Point Effort

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard J.J. Redick scorched the nets the last time that he faced the Phoenix Suns back on Nov. 21, and Thursday’s overtime loss was no different. Redick tied the season high that he collected the last time that the two teams met, going for 26 points on 7-for-11 shooting overall Thursday. […]

Lonzo Ball Dishes Season-High 11 Assists In Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans point guard Lonzo Ball collected his second double-double of the year during Thursday’s defeat to the Phoenix Suns, notching a season-best 11 assists to go along with 20 points across his 43 minutes. Across the board, it was arguably his best fantasy performance in a Pelicans uniform to this point, as he […]

David Montgomery Rushes For 86 Yards On Thursday

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery ran for 86 yards on 20 carries during the win over the Cowboys on Thursday night. Montgomery once again outpaced Tarik Cohen, who had just three carries for seven yards, and maintained a respectable 4.3 yards per carry against a Cowboys Defense that has played decently against opposing backs […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Logs Career-High 15 Rebounds In Double-Double

Phoenix Suns small forward Kelly Oubre Jr. crashed the glass during Thursday’s overtime win against the New Orleans Pelicans like he never has in his professional career, accumulating a new career-best 15 boards across his 47 minutes. He utilized his massive timeshare to add 14 points -- good for his third double-double of the year […]

Mitch Trubisky Accounts For Four Touchdowns In Win

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky finished with 244 yards on 23-for-31 passing while adding four touchdowns and an interception during the win over the Cowboys on Thursday. Trubisky shook off an early interception by tossing three touchdowns on the night, two of which went to Allen Robinson in the second quarter, before running one in […]

David Blough Not A Recommended Week 14 Start

Detroit Lions rookie quarterback David Blough will get the start in Week 14 when the Lions travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. With Matthew Stafford (back) unlikely to return this season and Jeff Driskel (hamstring) placed on the injured reserve, it looks like it will be all Blough from here on out. Those […]

Jameis Winston A Solid Option In Week 14

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston is coming off a very disappointing performance in Week 13, but that shouldn't hold fantasy owners back from going right back to him in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts. Winston was only able to pass for 268 yards with no scores last week, but he should have no […]

Cowboys Defense Struggles in Week 14

The Dallas Cowboys Defense struggled mightily in a Week 14 loss to the Chicago Bears. The Cowboys defense seemed unable to stop the Bears on any third down play. Eternally struggling Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky threw three touchdown passes and ran for 63 yards and another touchdown. The Cowboys defense only intercepted him once and […]

Brett Maher Misses Another Field Goal in Week 14

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher, already leading the league in missed field goals, missed another one in a Week 14 loss to the Chicago Bears. Maher made all three of his extra points and did make a 31 yarder at the end of the fourth quarter. The Cowboys tried out kickers last week and might […]

Jack Doyle Is A TE1 In Week 14

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle was buried behind tight end Eric Ebron for the first half of the season, but he exploded last week as the clear leading man. In Week 14, against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, he'll have another outstanding matchup. He's going against the second-worst defense against tight ends in the NFL […]

Jason Witten Catches Five Balls in Week 14

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten caught five passes in Week 14, gaining 37 yards. It was a classic late-career Jason Witten game, where he caught most of the balls thrown his way right before falling to the ground. Witten saw seven targets, tied with fellow tight end Blake Jarwin for third on the team. […]

Peyton Barber A Risky Start Against Colts

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber rewarded fantasy owners who were brave enough to start him in Week 13, but a repeat of his two-touchdown performance, or even something close to it, is hard to envision heading into the first week of the fantasy playoffs. The Bucs backfield is a weekly guessing game with […]

Blake Jarwin Pops Up With Six Catches in Week 14

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin caught six passes in Week 14, gaining 50 yards. Jarwin was targeted seven times, finishing third on the team. Jarwin's usage this season has been very unpredictable, but he has shown the ability to play a decent game when given the chance. He could have more fantasy relevance next […]
