Zach Collins To Undergo Shoulder Surgery

Portland Trail Blazers power forward/center Zach Collins will have his dislocated left shoulder operated on, stunting any fantasy momentum that he had acquired at the start of the year. Having moved into the starting five, Collins is now likely facing an extended absence due to the injury and can safely be dropped in the vast […]

Cubs Pick Up Jose Quintana's Option, Decline Derek Holland's

The Chicago Cubs picked up starting pitcher Jose Quintana's 2020 option on Saturday and declined pitcher Derek Holland's, making him a free agent. Quintana was 13-9 in 2019 but with a 4.68 ERA in 32 outings. He's gone 33-23 with a 4.23 ERA in 78 outings for the Cubs since being acquired from the White […]

Devante Parker Has Streaming Appeal On Sunday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker has a significant upside against the Jets on Sunday. With 18 targets over the last two games, the 26-year-old has 11 catches for 114 yards, while also hauling in a touchdown in three of his previous four outings. Parker could serve as an adequate streamer against an unimpressive Jets […]

Kalen Ballage Should Stay Benched On Sunday

Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage will likely continue to yield carries to Mark Walton on Sunday against the Jets. Even with the departure of Kenyan Drake, who is now an Arizona Cardinal, the 23-year-old continues not to be involved in the offense, rushing just six times for 15 yards over the last two games. […]

Ed Davis To Miss At Least One Month Due To Injury

Utah Jazz power forward/center Ed Davis is expected to be sidelined for at least the next month due to a left fibula fracture that he suffered during play Friday. Davis has delivered relatively little off the bench for Utah through the first six games of the season, with his departure unlikely to drastically change much […]

Emmanuel Mudiay Ruled Out For Sunday’s Game

Utah Jazz point guard Emmanuel Mudiay will miss his first contest of the season Sunday against the Los Angeles Clippers due to left hamstring tightness. Mudiay has settled into his role as the team’s backup point guard, although he retains fantasy value in only the deepest formats due to his capped minutes. Without him suiting […]

Viktor Arvidsson Ends Goalless Run On Saturday

Nashville Predators winger Viktor Arvidsson ended a four-game goal drought on Saturday, scoring the team's only goal in a 2-1 home loss to the Rangers. Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi picked up power-play assists on the play. Arvidsson had a nice start to the year with six points in six games, but the Preds were […]

Mark Walton Has Little Upside In Week 9

Miami Dolphins running back Mark Walton has a shot at having his best game of the season against the Jets on Sunday. Throughout the last two games, Walton is averaging nearly 13 carries, and though he has yet to find the end zone, he will likely continue to be more involved than Kalen Ballage, at […]

Filip Chytil Scores Again In Saturday's Win

New York Rangers center Filip Chytil made it two goals in two games on Saturday, helping the Blueshirts beat Nashville 2-1. Ryan Strome also scored for the Rangers to extend his point streak to six games. Alexandar Georgiev picked up his second consecutive win with a 32-save effort. Chytil had a rocky rookie campaign in […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick With Favorable Matchup On Sunday

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will look for his first win of 2019 against the Jets on Sunday. The 36-year-old is having one of the worst seasons of his lengthy career, throwing seven interceptions throughout six games, with only five touchdowns to go along with a shoddy 59.7 completion percentage. Fitzpatrick does have a decent […]

Matthew Dellavedova Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Matthew Dellavedova will miss his second consecutive game when his squad suits up Sunday against Dallas due to personal reasons. Dellavedova retains very little fantasy value, having gone scoreless in two of his first four contests. His absence will likely allow Brandon Knight to see some minutes off of the bench, […]

Draymond Green Set To Miss Multiple Games Due To Injury

Golden State Warriors power forward/center Draymond Green had already been ruled out for Saturday’s game against Charlotte before the news came down that he would miss more time than that. Due to a torn ligament in his left index finger, Green is expected to miss the “next few games,” which will further hamper a Golden […]

Brandon Clarke Cleared To Suit Up Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies power forward/center Brandon Clarke has been given the green light to play Saturday against the Phoenix Suns after having been questionable for most of the day due to a back injury. The start to Clarke’s career has been impressive, having scored in double digits in each of his past three games. Despite his […]

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard D'Angelo Russell will miss Saturday’s game against the Charlotte Hornets due to a sprained right ankle that he suffered during Friday’s contest. His absence will leave Golden State extremely short-handed with Ky Bowman and Jordan Poole set to serve as the team’s starting backcourt. Russell has figured to be in […]

Demarcus Robinson is a Desperation Flex

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson has seen his fantasy value dip since the team got healthy. He'll split time with Mecole Hardman since Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins are both playing now. Robinson caught both his targets for six yards in the Week 8 loss to the Packers. Hardman at least hauled his […]

Mecole Hardman is Difficult to Trust in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman has been reliable for the team this season, but he'll lose value with Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins back healthy. Hardman caught two passes for 55 yards and a touchdown against the Packers in Week 8. Those were his only two targets of the game because he splits […]

Harry Giles Questionable To Make Season Debut

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Harry Giles has once again picked up a questionable designation as it pertains to making his potential season debut. His sore left knee has his status up in the air for Sunday’s matchup with the New York Knicks, with the 21-year-old having missed each of the team’s first six games. It’s […]

Maximilian Kleber Questionable For Sunday With Knee Ailment

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Maximilian Kleber is listed as questionable to suit up for Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a sore right knee. Kleber logged 31 minutes off the bench during Friday’s loss to the Lakers, but apparently is hampered coming out of that contest. Should Dallas opt to play it safe, […]

Travis Kelce Can Be Leaned On in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has been a reliable option for the team and fantasy owners all season long. He caught four of his eight targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. Kelce did not lose targets with veteran Matt Moore at quarterback. There's […]

Elfrid Payton Will Miss Third Straight Contest

New York Knicks point guard Elfrid Payton is slated to miss Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings due to a strained right hamstring. The injury has now forced Payton to the sidelines for three consecutive outings, paving the way for RJ Barrett to continue seeing the lion’s share of duties at the point guard slot, […]

Sammy Watkins Remains A WR3 Against Minnesota

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins returned last week against the Packers and performed well in the Week 8 loss. He caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in that one. It wasn't a great game, but he performed well with veteran Matt Moore as his quarterback. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has […]

Brandon Ingram Likely To Miss Second Half On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard/small forward Brandon Ingram has been deemed doubtful to return to Saturday’s contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder due to a head contusion. After playing 13 minutes in the first half, Ingram did not take the floor for second-half warm-ups. Having accrued seven points on 3-for-5 shooting, the high-octane scorer also […]

Tyreek Hill Has Tough Matchup in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has three touchdowns and finished with at least 70 yards in each of the last three games. He's been exactly what fantasy owners have needed since coming back from injury in Week 6. However, losing quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has hurt his value. He'll get a tough matchup […]

Hassan Whiteside To Miss Sunday’s Contest

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside will officially be in street clothes for Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a bone bruise on his left knee. Whiteside’s prospects of suiting up did not sound high after being unable to practice Saturday, which should pave the way for Skal Labissiere to see minutes at […]

LeSean McCoy Should Have Low-End RB2 Value

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy has seen a majority of the carries in the backfield for the team over the last few weeks. Lead back Damien Williams has not been used as much lately, which is making McCoy a better fantasy option. However, McCoy heads into a tough matchup against the Vikings Defense. […]

Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier Both Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game

Detroit Pistons point guards Derrick Rose and Tim Frazier will both miss Saturday’s contest against the Brooklyn Nets, with Rose’s right hamstring and Frazier’s right shoulder keeping them out of the equation. With Reggie Jackson already slated to miss the next month, expect Langston Galloway to get all of the minutes that he can handle […]

Damien Williams is Risky Versus Vikings

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams finished with a season-high 30 rushing yards in the loss to Green Bay in Week 8. The fact 30 yards is his best running performance of the season is discouraging. Veteran LeSean McCoy seems to get most of the touches over the last few weeks. Williams has only […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Has Status Up In Air For Sunday

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is officially listed as questionable for Sunday’s contest against the Sacramento Kings due to personal reasons. With Elfrid Payton already ruled out, Frank Ntilikina already figures to see significant minutes, even as RJ Barrett is likely to start at point guard. Smith has missed each of New […]

Matt Moore Has Low-End Value in Week 9

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Matt Moore played fairly well in the Week 8 loss to the Packers, but fantasy owners shouldn't lean on the veteran. He completed 24 of 36 passing attempts for 267 yards and two touchdowns. Starting quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has been practicing and has a chance to suit up versus the […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

Orlando Magic point guard Michael Carter-Williams will miss Saturday’s game against the Denver Nuggets due to a left hip contusion. His absence will likely pave the way for Markelle Fultz to see additional run off the bench. Carter-Williams has now missed each of the past two games, having played a marginal role as a reserve […]
