Dan Bailey Is An Attractive Option in Week 9

Minnesota Vikings kicker Dan Bailey has returned to fantasy relevance during a stretch in which the Vikings offense has been firing on all cylinders. Bailey has nailed 85.7% of his field-goal attempts this year and has gone 10-for-10 over his last four games played. With Week 9's matchup against the vulnerable Kansas City Chiefs Defense […]

Kyle Rudolph Is Not On TE2 Radar Against Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph has seen an uptick in production recently, as he has at least three catches in three straight games, and he had a 5-58-1 line in Week 7. He's still averaging just 18.4 yards per game and failed to break out as a usable fantasy player, even with star wide […]

Stefon Diggs Has Winnable Matchup In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been the clear beneficiary from the substantially improved play of quarterback Kirk Cousins. Diggs has 21 catches for 453 yards and three touchdowns over his last three games, a stretch in which he is also averaging an absurd 21.57 yards per catch. The Chiefs Defense has performed admirably […]

Vikings Defense Is Not In A Prime Week 9 Spot

The Minnesota Vikings Defense could be catching a break with 2018 MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes (kneecap) looking likely to miss another week. Veteran Matt Moore will start in his absence, though the Chiefs still put up 337 yards and 24 points in his start last week against a solid Green Bay Packers Defense. The Chiefs […]

Alexander Mattison Is On RB4 Radar Versus Chiefs

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison has had at least 12 carries in three games this season and has a juicy matchup on tap in Week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense ranks 30th in run DVOA and has given up a whopping 10 rushing touchdowns on the year, and impact players […]

Jrue Holiday Will Play Without Any Restrictions

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will play Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets. Holiday has missed his past two games with a knee injury, but will make his return Thursday. Holiday will also resume his normal workload without any limitations which has to be music to the ears of fantasy owners. Josh Hart […]

Dalvin Cook Is Lined Up For Another Huge Game

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook has been pretty close to unstoppable this season. The third-year back is rushing for 102.9 yards per game and leads the NFL with nine rushing touchdowns in what's shaping up to be a two-man race for the "Best Fantasy RB" title with Christian McCaffrey. He gets to face off […]

Derrick Favors Will Sit Again Thursday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) will not play Thursday night against the Denver Nuggets. Favors was seen warming up and "moved pretty well", but he was ultimately ruled out. Jahlil Okafor will make another start while Jaxson Hayes will have a prominent role off the bench. Based on reports, Favors should be back […]

Adam Thielen Is A Low-End WR1 In Return

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) was limited again in practice on Thursday, but all indications are pointing to him suiting up for Sunday's Week 9 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs Defense has been surprisingly competent this season and has only allowed six touchdowns to receivers over their eight games played. […]

Matt Breida And Raheem Mostert Active Thursday Night

San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) are active for Thursday’s Week 9 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (inactive) is a healthy scratch. Despite the reinjury risk, Breida is a playable RB3 against one of the worst defenses in football. Mostert is a garbage time-dependent flex […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Low-End QB1 In Week 9

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been absolutely on fire for four weeks straight, completing over 79% of his passes and compiling an impressive 10/1 TD/INT rate in wins over the Giants, Eagles, Lions, and Redskins. The Kansas City Chiefs await in Week 9 and represent a slight step up defensively, but they are banged […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Suspended Two Games

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (suspension) will miss the next two games after his on-court fight with Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid. Two games does not sound as bad as it could have been given the nature of the fight. Either way, Towns will not play until Wednesday, November 6th against the Memphis Grizzlies. In […]

Joel Embiid Suspended Two Games

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (suspension) will miss the next two games after his altercation with Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns. This could have been a lot worse as it seemed Embiid was the aggressor and there were photo evidence of him trying to eye gouge Towns. Regardless, Embiid will not play until Wednesday, November […]

Dejounte Murray Will Start Thursday

San Antonio Spurs guard Dejounte Murray will stay in the starting five for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. However, Murray will sit out Friday against the Warriors because the Spurs want to be cautious in back-to-back sets. The team wants to be safe early in the season, but hopefully he won't sit out […]

Cam Reddish Gets the Start on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks guard Cam Reddish will join the starting five for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. Trae Young (ankle) has been ruled out, so the Hawks are giving their rookie some extended time. However, Reddish hasn't played too well to begin the season and is tough to trust in DFS contests. The Hawks are […]

Kendrick Nunn Will Start on Thursday

Miami Heat guard Kendrick Nunn will jump into the starting five for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Justise Winslow (back) has been ruled out, but he shouldn't be sidelined for long. Nunn will have strong DFS appeal while in the starting five on Thursday. He's been reliable this season and isn't showing any signs […]

Trae Young Won't Suit Up Against Heat

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) won't suit up for Thursday's game against the Miami Heat. The good news is that Young was seen without much of a limp on Thursday. The Hawks don't play again after Thursday until Tuesday, so there's a chance that Young will be ready by then. John Collins is going […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/31/19): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

After a hefty Wednesday night slate, Thursday night's game have plenty of hype to live up to. With the Clippers as the only team playing on the second night of a back-to-back, there still isn't a ton of potential for the Spurs. Bryn Forbes and Dejounte Murray have been gems in the lower-tier of point […]

Justise Winslow May Sit Out on Thursday

Miami Heat forward Justise Winslow (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Hawks are already banged up, so the Heat may have a good chance to win even without Winslow. Goran Dragic should see an extended role on Thursday, assuming Winslow gets the night off. He'll make for a […]

Will Barton is Questionable for Thursday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Will Barton (toe) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Barton is dealing with left toe inflammation, but that shouldn't be something that sidelines him for too long. Torrey Craig would likely jump into the starting five if Barton doesn't suit up. Possibly, Michael Porter Jr. would […]

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the next few weeks after suffering an injury during Wednesday's game. He was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right ankle sprain and is expected to miss around two weeks of action. Domantas Sabonis should benefit the most from the loss of Turner. Goga […]

Anthony Davis Was Limited on Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (shoulder) was limited during Thursday's practice, but plans to play on Friday. Davis had multiple injuries in his left shoulder before, but the team doesn't believe this is serious.

Rajon Rondo is Out for Next Three Games

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) has been ruled out for the next three games. He will travel with the team, but will sit out Friday, Sunday, and Tuesday. The Lakers will likely use a committee approach to fill the void. Avery Bradley is expected to have the most fantasy value out of the […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 2

The 2019-20 NBA season is underway, and it has been nothing short of must-see tv on a nightly basis. Box scores have been filled to the brim and games have gone down to the wire. All the pent-up excitement built up over the offseason seems to have been well justified, and there's little reason not […]

Mariners Decline Wade LeBlanc's Option

The Seattle Mariners declined starting pitcher Wade LeBlanc's $5 million team option for 2020, making him a free agent. The left-hander will receive a $450,000 buyout in return. LeBlanc wasn't a very effective spot starter for the M's or fantasy owners in AL-only leagues in 2019, going 6-7 with a 5.71 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and […]

Enes Kanter Will Sit Out on Friday

Boston Celtics center Enes Kanter (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Kanter is dealing with a bruised left knee, but it doesn't seem too serious. The team is likely just playing it safe for right now. Daniel Theis (ankle) is probable and Robert Williams will split time at […]
