Peyton Barber Not A Recommended Week 12 Start

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Peyton Barber is trending towards being cemented as the clear-cut No. 2 option in the Bucs backfield. Barber did not get a touch in Week 11, and while he did find the end zone on one of his two targets on the day, it looks like Ronald Jones II is […]

Ronald Jones II On RB3/4 Borderline For Week 12 Matchup

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II looks to be the back to own on the Bucs. Jones was the victim of a negative game script in Week 10, seeing just 6 touches throughout the afternoon, but he's also been targeted 12 times over the last two games and seems to have finally separated […]

T.J. Hockenson Hoping To Get Going In Week 12

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson has surpassed the 32-yard receiving mark just once since his outlier Week 1 performance, while also putting up three single-digit receiving yard performances in that time. His floor is quite an ugly one with or without Matthew Stafford (back) in the lineup, making him a very tough sell […]

Marvin Jones Looks To Keep Rolling

Detroit Lions wide receiver Marvin Jones has been on a tear since Week 7. The veteran wideout has accumulated 361 yards and seven scores over the last five games and will look to stay hot against the Washington Redskins on in Week 12. Jones has not been affected by the loss of starting quarterback Matthew […]

Kenny Golladay Has Plus Week 12 Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay has a plus matchup in Week 12 with the Washington Redskins on deck. Golladay and backup quarterback Jeff Driskel have not been able to get on the same page through two games against tough defenses, with Golladay only hauling in 4-of-14 targets since Driskel took over. A plus matchup […]

Tyrell Williams A WR3 Versus Jets

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams hasn't found the same success that he had in the early going of the season, but he will have a juicy matchup in Week 12 to make up for lost time. After recording a touchdown in his first five games of the season, he's yet to hit paydirt in […]

Anfernee Simons In, Hassan Whiteside Out Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) will play Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks. However, his teammate Hassan Whiteside (hip) will not play after missing shootaround with a hip injury. Simons will likely start and play heavy minutes in the absence of Damian Lillard (back). In the absence of Whiteside, a committee of Skal […]

Jonathan Williams Expected To Start Thursday

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to treat running back Jonathan Williams as the starter on Thursday night against the Texans. It doesn't mean that Williams will see the most touches in a backfield that will also feature Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines in Marlon Mack's (hand) absence, but it's good news for those relying on […]

Hassan Whiteside Misses Shootaround

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (hip) was not able to participate during Thursday's shootaround. He's listed as questionable with a right hip issue, but he missed shootaround, so that's not a good sign. The Blazers are already without Damian Lillard (back) for this game. Skal Labissiere could be forced into heavy minutes and be […]

Anfernee Simons is Active Through Shootaround

Portland Trail Blazers guard Anfernee Simons (ankle) was able to fully participate during Thursday's shootaround. He's been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks, but is expected to play. Damian Lillard (back) will sit out his second straight game here. Simons will be a popular DFS option on Thursday, assuming he's able […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/21/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

A cruddy little two-game slate tonight, so I am not going to waste the time on the more hopeful picks. We need the players that will be the highest scoring regardless of price. With Damian Lillard out and Anfernee Simons questionable, look for players like Rodney Hood, Carmelo Anthony, and Anthony Tolliver to all have […]

Damian Lillard Won't Play on Thursday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Lillard has been playing through a back issue, but is now going to miss his second game in a row because of it. C.J. McCollum and Anfernee Simons (ankle) will handle most of the ball handling duties. […]

Ricky Rubio Might Sit Against Pelicans

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (back) is listed as a game-time decision for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Rubio was able to play on Tuesday despite his back issues. However, he played only 16 minutes, so he'd be a risky DFS option for Thursday. Tyler Johnson and Elie Okobo would see more minutes […]

Josh Richardson is Listed as Questionable for Friday

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Josh Richardson (hip) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Richardson was unable to suit up for Wednesday's game because of a right hip flexor issue. Furkan Korkmaz may land another start, but he won't be much of a streaming option. It doesn't sound like Richardson will […]

Steven Adams Able to Practice on Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder center Steven Adams (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. Adams has already missed three games this month due to a left knee issue. Head coach Billy Donovan said Adams is still dealing with the issue, so hopefully it's something he can overcome soon. The Thunder may limit Adams until he's […]

Nikola Vucevic is Out At Least A Month

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) is expected to be out of game action for at least a month. He suffered a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's contest. He was spotted on crutches and in a walking boot, so that's never a good sign. He's not expected to return until about the middle of December. […]

Jeremy Lamb, T.J. McConnell Practice on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guards Jeremy Lamb (ankle) and T.J. McConnell (groin) were able to suit up for practice on Thursday. Lamb has missed the last seven games due to a left ankle sprain. He could be limited his first game back, but Malcolm Brogdon (back) is doubtful, so having Lamb would be great for Indiana. McConnell […]

Malcolm Brogdon Doesn't Practice on Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (back) was unable to suit up for practice on Thursday. He's been sidelined since last Saturday due to back soreness. The Pacers don't play until Saturday, so there's a chance he does suit up for that one. However, the fact he wasn't able to practice on Thursday isn't a positive […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic is Questionable for Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bogdanovic felt left hamstring tightness during the end of Wednesday's contest. The Kings don't believe it's a serious issue, but might decide to take the cautious approach here. Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hield, and Cory Joseph would all benefit […]

Nelson Agholor Says He's Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) said he is day-to-day, and he is hoping to get back on the practice field on Friday. Agholor is on the wrong side of questionable as things stand now, but he'd be in play to suit up if he was able to practice on Friday. Alshon Jeffery (ankle) […]

Avery Bradley Remains Out During Road Trip

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (leg) has been ruled out for the upcoming four-game road trip. Bradley is going to miss at least one more week of action. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will continue to start in the meantime, while Quinn Cook and Alex Caruso see extra minutes off the bench. Caldwell-Pope is worth a look […]

Phillip Dorsett Returns To Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. While Dorsett still needs final clearance from the concussion protocol, there's optimism that he'll get it and be able to play in Week 12 against the Cowboys. Even with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) out possibly multiple games, […]

Kyrie Irving is Ruled Out for Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He wasn't able to practice on Thursday and will continue to be sidelined due to a right shoulder issue. Spencer Dinwiddie has been starting and getting a heavy usage without Irving available. Dinwiddie will continue to be a […]

Emmanuel Sanders, Matt Breida, Robbie Gould Not Practicing

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs), running back Matt Breida (ankle) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) are not practicing on Thursday for the second straight day. Sanders is looking more spry in his rehab than he did last week, so he should be able to play on Sunday night as long as he […]

Danuel House is Expected to Sit on Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House (back) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. House has been banged up lately, but is a solid streaming option most games when healthy. He's dealing with a sore left shoulder, but that isn't something that should sideline him for too long. Ben McLemore and Austin Rivers […]

George Kittle, Deebo Samuel Doing Non-Contact Work

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) and rookie wide receiver Deebo Samuel (shoulder) are taking part in practice on Thursday in non-contact jerseys. It's progress for both players, especially for Kittle, who has missed the last two games. The problem for both if they are game-time decisions is that they play on Sunday […]

Chandler Hutchison is Doubtful for Friday

Chicago Bulls forward Chandler Hutchison (shin) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. Hutchison is still banged up and has shin splints, so the Bulls should remain cautious here. Shaquille Harrison dropped 15 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and three steals on Wednesday. He's looking like a popular streaming option while […]

Justise Winslow is Not Traveling for Weekend Series

Miami Heat guard Justise Winslow (head) will not travel with the team for their upcoming back-to-back set this weekend. He continues to be sidelined with a concussion and it's unclear when Winslow will be able to return. Kendrick Nunn, Duncan Robinson, and Tyler Herro will see extra minutes with Winslow sidelined.

Robert Woods Will Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has returned to the team and will practice on Thursday, according to head coach Sean McVay. However, Woods' status for Monday night against the Ravens is still undecided. Woods was a surprise scratch last Sunday night due to personal reasons. Unless we get definitive word that he'll play […]

Derrick White Might Sit on Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Derrick White (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. White is dealing with a sore left foot and wasn't able to suit up for Wednesday's contest. Patty Mills and Dejounte Murray filled in for the injured White. That will likely be more of the same, assuming […]
