Dennis Smith Jr. Ruled Out The Next Two Games
New York Knicks guard Dennis Smith Jr. (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Orlando and Friday in Boston. Smith is dealing with a death in the family and Elfrid Payton (hamstring) won't suit up on Wednesday. Frank Ntilikina is the only guard available on the roster, but R.J. Barrett and Allonzo Trier […]

Josh Lambo Not On The Practice Field
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Josh Lambo (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. It puts his status in question for Week 9 against the Texans. The 28-year-old has been perfect on his 21 field-goal tries this year, and he's 12-for-13 on extra points. If he can play this weekend, he'll be a starting option for fantasy owners […]

Daniel Theis is Available on Wednesday
Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (ankle) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He missed Saturday's game due to a minor ankle injury, but is fine for this one. Theis should be looking at more minutes on Wednesday with Enes Kanter (knee) unavailable. Robert Williams and Theis should split up the minutes […]

Dede Westbrook, D.J. Chark Limited Wednesday
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and D.J. Chark (quadriceps) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Westbrook is the one to watch this week, as he was inactive in Week 8 and could be questionable to face the Texans in Week 9. If he plays, he'll be a riskier WR3/4 against a […]

Jeremy Lamb is Back in the Starting Lineup
Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Lamb didn't perform well in the season opener and hasn't suited up since due to injury. Edmond Sumner (hand) is out for this one, so Lamb could see a few extra minutes. We'll see if Lamb […]

Adam Thielen Limited In Practice Wednesday
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Thielen missed last Thursday's game but is expected to return in Week 9 against the Chiefs on the road. As long as he's active, Thielen will have WR1 potential in a game that could become a shootout, especially if quarterback Patrick […]

Edmond Sumner is Ruled Out Wednesday
Indiana Pacers guard Edmond Sumner (hand) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Sumner has started the last two games, but was going to head to the second unit with Jeremy Lamb (hip) back in action on Wednesday. It's unclear how long Sumner is going to be sidelined, but he wasn't […]

Wendell Carter Jr. is Questionable for Wednesday
Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. (eye) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Carter's left eye is really swollen, according to head coach Jim Boylen. Luke Kornet is expected to draw the start at center, assuming Carter is unable to play. Rookie Daniel Gafford would probably jump into the rotation […]

Matt Breida, Raheem Mostert Questionable In Week 9
San Francisco 49ers running backs Matt Breida (ankle) and Raheem Mostert (knee) both practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday and are both listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Cardinals. They'll be game-time decisions in this tasty matchup, but they could both lose touches to Tevin Coleman and Jeffery Wilson if they're active. […]

Blake Griffin is Traveling for Road Trip
Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (knee, hamstring) is traveling with the team for their upcoming two-game road trip. Griffin has been ruled out for Wednesday's game, but there's a chance he plays on Friday against Chicago. He was able to get in some work on Wednesday, but the team is going to be cautious with […]

Reggie Jackson Won't Travel for Road Trip
Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) won't travel with the team for their upcoming two-game road trip. He won't play on Wednesday and it sounds unlikely that he suits up versus the Bulls on Friday. Derrick Rose, Tim Frazier, and Luke Kennard will continue to split up the minutes. Rose is the best fantasy option […]

David Johnson Questionable For Thursday Night
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night against the 49ers. He'll be a game-time decision, but fantasy owners may want to stay away even if he's active in this terrible matchup. If DJ returns this week, it'll likely be to a committee backfield […]

Trae Young Doesn't Need MRI
Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (ankle) will not require an MRI on his sprained ankle. Young was forced out of Tuesday's game after suffering a sprained right ankle, but is listed as day-to-day. He won't play in Thursday's game, but that is just the Hawks being cautious with their young star. He's going to be […]

Gerrit Cole Could Be Available On Wednesday
Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole could be available "in a limited capacity" for Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday against the Nationals, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Cole was fantastic in the Game 5 win on Sunday, allowing only one run while walking two and fanning nine in seven innings. That came […]

Rodney McGruder is Expected to Play Wednesday
Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) is expected to be available to make his season debut on Wednesday. The Clippers could use the depth with Kawhi Leonard (rest) sitting this one out versus Utah. It's unlikely McGruder plays heavy minutes, but having him out there would be huge. Maurice Harkless is expected to start […]

Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Limited
New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder), wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest, shoulder) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be fine for Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night, so there's not much to see here. New England faces their most difficult test […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Rest Against Jazz
Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (rest) is not going to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The load management is already starting just four games into the season. The Clippers play a back-to-back set so that's probably why Leonard is sitting out here. Maurice Harkless and Rodney McGruder (ankle) will be […]

Otto Porter is Available Against Cavs
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) is active and available for Wednesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Porter was hit in the mouth on Saturday and required stitches after the game. He appears to be fine to play, but hasn't done much on the court this season. Porter will be out there, but DFS players […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Will Make Season Debut on Wednesday
Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) will make his team debut against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday. He's been scrimmaging with the G-League team over the last week. It wouldn't be surprising to see Cauley-Stein limited in his first game back, but it'll be a boost nonetheless. Kevon Looney (hamstring) remains sidelined, so Cauley-Stein […]

Kyle Kuzma is Practicing With G-League
Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (foot) is practicing with the Lakers' G-League team on Wednesday. Kuzma is expected to return to the Lakers for another practice on Thursday. There is a chance that Kuzma suits up for the team on Friday, but that depends on how he feels after Thursday. He should be owned […]

Jrue Holiday Should Play on Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holiday has been banged up since the first game of the season last week. He was able to practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign moving forward. Fantasy owners can be hopeful that they get Holiday […]

Bears Defense Needs To Rediscover Pass Rush
The Chicago Bears Defense will look to rediscover its pass rush in Week 9 against the Eagles in a must-win game. The Bears are now 3-4, are loser's of three straight and have recorded only one sack during that span. The loss of Akiem Hicks has allowed opposing offenses to triple-team Khalil Mack and it […]

Derrick Favors Listed as Doubtful for Thursday
New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (knee) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He did not practice on Wednesday, which makes it difficult to see him suiting up on Thursday. Jaxson Hayes, Jahlil Okafor and Nicolo Melli should all see extra minutes without Favors. Hayes might have the most upside […]

Jaylen Brown is Sitting Out Against Bucks
Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (illness) is not suiting up for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He's dealing with an illness, so he shouldn't be sidelined for long. Semi Ojeleye is expected to jump into the starting five, while Marcus Smart and Carsen Edwards will see more minutes off the bench. None of these […]

NHL DFS Prop Picks for 10/30/19 - Monkey Knife Fight
Early in the National Hockey League season, trends are starting to emerge and sometimes they have already flipped. Can Jack Hughes continue his recent surge and help the Devils handle the Tampa Bay Lightning? Will Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl lead the Oilers to a bounce-back performance in Columbus after losing in Detroit Tuesday? Does […]

Trey Burton Not Fantasy Viable
Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton will try and kick-start a dismal season in Week 9 against his former team, the Eagles, this Sunday. Burton has posted only 14 receptions for 84 yards this season and still is looking for his first touchdown after scoring six times last season. He will go up against an […]

Taylor Gabriel Will Have WR5 Value In Week 9
Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel may have only 169 receiving yards on the season but will have a favorable matchup in Week 9. The Bears struggling offense will go up against an Eagles Defense that is allowing the most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. The Eagles have allowed 12 receiving touchdowns to […]

Justin Verlander Won't Be Available In Game 7
Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that starting pitcher Justin Verlander will not pitch in Game 7 of the World Series against the Nationals on Wednesday. Verlander went five innings in the Game 6 loss on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs on two home runs while walking three and striking out three. Home runs were […]

Anthony Miller Has Favorable Tilt Against Eagles
Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller's season is trending in the right direction and now will go up against an Eagles Defense that is allowing the most fantasy points to opposing receivers. Miller is still looking for his first touchdown of the season but has three straight games of 50 yards or more. The second-year […]

Kurt Suzuki Returns To Lineup For Game 7
Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday against Astros starter Zack Greinke. Suzuki is behind the plate and will hit eighth in the lineup. It's Suzuki's first start since Game 3 of the series when the team faced Greinke for the […]
