Jimmy Butler Will Officially Miss Wednesday’s Contest

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler was not trending toward suiting up earlier in the day Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets and now the team will officially be without their leading scorer due to an illness. How the Heat choose to cover for Butler remains up in the air, but Tyler Herro and Kendrick […]

Pirates Hire Derek Shelton As Manager

The Pittsburgh Pirates hired Derek Shelton as their new manager on Wednesday. It will be his first managerial job after he spent the last two seasons as the Twins bench coach.

Rays Acquire Brian O'Grady, Cut Jesus Aguilar

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired first baseman/outfielder Brian O'Grady from the Reds on Wednesday in exchange for a player to be named and cash. In a corresponding move, first baseman Jesus Aguilar was designated for assignment. O'Grady, 27, hit .280 with 28 home runs, 77 RBI and 20 stolen bases with Triple-A Louisville, although he […]

Saints Defense Has Upside On Thanksgiving

The New Orleans Saints Defense will have a solid chance to put up fantasy points on Thanksgiving against the Atlanta Falcons. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan is coming off a one-interception, six-sack game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. There is certainly some risk, especially in leagues that penalize for points scored. Still, look for New Orleans […]

Orioles Looking To Trade Dylan Bundy

The Baltimore Orioles are working to trade starting pitcher Dylan Bundy, according to a source. A deal isn't imminent, but one appears to be getting close. The 27-year-old right-hander was 7-14 with a 4.79 ERA for the last-place O's in 2019 and will be entering the second of three arbitration-eligible seasons. Bundy has the ability […]

Wil Lutz Should Stay Hot Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints kicker Wil Lutz has a great chance to stay hot in a Thanksgiving matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. The 25-year-old has made at least two field goals and four extra points in back to back games. Atlanta ranks 26th in fantasy points allowed to kickers. Oh, and the game has an over/under […]

Padres Agree With Drew Pomeranz

The San Diego Padres agreed to a four-year, $34 million deal with left-hander Drew Pomeranz on Wednesday, according to sources. The 31-year-old southpaw had a tidy 2.39 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and eight walks in 26 1/3 innings of relief for the Brewers last year after starting the year in San Francisco's […]

Jorge Polanco Undergoes Surgery

Minnesota Twins shortstop Jorge Polanco (ankle) had surgery for an ankle impingement last Friday. It was a chronic injury due to repetitive stress, but he should be able to resume baseball activities in six weeks and be ready for spring training next year. The 26-year-old switch-hitter was an All-Star for the first time in his […]

Jared Cook A TE1 Despite Tough Matchup

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a good starting option on Thanksgiving night against the Atlanta Falcons. Cook has exceeded 50 receiving yards in two of the last three games and has a touchdown in back to back contests. The 32-year-old is third in targets on the Saints and is in a nice […]

Jake Elliott Signed To Five-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles signed kicker Jake Elliott to a five-year extension through the 2024 season on Wednesday. Elliott has made all 14 of his field-goal attempts this year and has gone 21-for-23 on his extra points. The 24-year-old has made 66 of his 76 field-goal attempts in his three-year career with the Eagles. Philly's offense […]

Chase Edmonds Limited In Wednesday's Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Edmonds is on track to return for the first time since Oct. 27 against the Saints. However, Kenyan Drake remains the team's lead back with David Johnson battling injuries. Edmonds could be the No. 2 in the backfield this weekend against […]

Rudy Gobert Will Make Return To Starting Five Wednesday

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert has been given the green light to play in Wednesday’s game against the Indiana Pacers after having been a game-time decision due to a sprained left ankle. The ailment cost Gobert each of Utah’s two previous outings, with Tony Bradley having stepped into the starting five in his place. With […]

Tre'Quan Smith Too Risky Against Atlanta

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is far too risky of an option to trust against the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving. He did catch a touchdown last week and could certainly do the same in Week 13. It just isn't likely though, considering he has only two scores on the year and hasn't topped […]

Ted Ginn A Boom-Or-Bust Option Against Falcons

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Ted Ginn gets a good matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving. The problem is, the 34-year-old hasn't topped 50 receiving yards since Week 1 and has only two touchdowns this year. Ginn is in the conversation for teams in deeper leagues that need a spark off the bench, though […]

Marlins In On Avisail Garcia

The Miami Marlins are one of many teams interested in outfielder Avisail Garcia. The free-agent outfield market is thin this year, so Garcia is in a good spot to cash in this winter. Garcia hit a solid .282/.332/.464 with 20 home runs, 61 runs scored, 72 RBI and 10 stolen bases in 125 games in […]

Rangers Reach Deal With Kyle Gibson

The Texas Rangers agreed to a three-year, $30 million deal with starting pitcher Kyle Gibson on Wednesday, according to a source. He'll join a rotation that will include veterans Mike Minor and Lance Lynn. The 32-year-old Gibson went 13-7 with 160 strikeouts for the Twins last season but posted a 4.73 ERA while giving up […]

Clint Capela To Miss Wednesday’s Game

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela will be unable to suit up Wednesday versus the Miami Heat due to an illness. In his place, veteran Tyson Chandler will enter the starting five, although he hasn’t exactly produced enough as a starter this season to warrant legitimate fantasy consideration. With Capela out of the mix, forward P.J. […]

Michael Thomas Could Eat On Thanksgiving

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas will face the Atlanta Falcons suspect defense on Thanksgiving night. The All-Pro wideout torched Atlanta's secondary back in Week 10 for 13 catches and 152 yards. Thomas is currently working on an eight-game streak with at least eight catches and 85 receiving yards with the Falcons' 27th-ranked pass […]

Jadeveon Clowney Expected To Play Monday

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (hip) isn't practicing on Wednesday, according to head coach Pete Carroll, but the team is "counting on" their best pass-rusher to make it back for Monday night's showdown with the Vikings. In his first season with Seattle, Clowney has 25 total tackles, three sacks, three forced fumbles and an […]

Dante Pettis Injured In Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) suffered a left knee injury early in Wednesday's practice, casting doubt over his status for Week 13 against the Ravens. He was hurt during a special teams drill but was able to walk off the field under his own power. What's been a nightmare season for Pettis […]

Latavius Murray Comes With Risk Against Atlanta

New Orleans Saints running back Latavius Murray is a risky flex start in a Thanksgiving matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. It's true, Murray has seen an uptick in carries, posting at least seven touches in three straight games after going under seven four times earlier in the year. Plus, the 29-year-old has out-touched fellow back […]

Rudy Gobert Might Play Against Pacers

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He's missed the last two games due to an ankle issue, but the Jazz desperately need him back. It sounds like Gobert will test his ankle in warm ups and will decide whether or not he's […]

Parris Campbell Remains Limited Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (hand) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Campbell has been out since Nov. 3, but he could be a game-time decision in Week 13 against the Titans. Even if he returns, however, he could be fourth on the receiver depth chart behind T.Y. Hilton, Zach Pascal and Chester […]

Cody Zeller Has Been Ruled Out for Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as probable, so it's quite surprising that Zeller won't play on Wednesday. Bismack Biyombo will be given the start at center, but will have a touch matchup versus Andre Drummond. He could be worth a […]

Mike Williams Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday coming out of the team's Week 12 bye. The 25-year-old caught two of six targets for 76 yards in the Week 11 loss to the Chiefs. He should be fine to play this weekend against Denver. The former first-rounder is still […]

Redskins Defense Not Poised For Success In Week 13

The Washington Redskins Defense may be garnering some attention on the waiver wire for Week 13 after forcing four turnovers and scoring a special teams touchdown last week against the Lions. The Redskins also recorded six sacks to round out what was an impressive fantasy day. While Washington has been a half-decent real-life defense (all […]

Malik Monk Will Play on Wednesday

Charlotte Hornets guard Malik Monk (finger) will suit up for Wednesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He was listed as probable with a left pinky sprain on his non-shooting hand. Monk has some upside, but sadly he is only getting minutes in the low 20s right now. Fantasy owners could stash him and hope the […]
