Aron Baynes Will Start at Center on Friday

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes will draw the start at center for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Deandre Ayton (suspension) is not going to be available for the next 25 games for violating NBA’s Anti-Drug policy. Baynes should see around 20 or more minutes a game. Cheick Diallo and Frank Kaminsky should see increased […]

Jeremy Lamb Could Miss Saturday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Lamb did not practice on Thursday and was limited during Friday's practice. Lamb scored 10 points, grabbed four rebounds, and dished out three assists during Wednesday's season opener. Doug McDermott, Justin Holiday, and Edmond Sumner would be asked […]

Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Questionable For Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are both listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Browns despite practicing on a limited basis this week. Edelman is often questionable on the injury report, but he ultimately plays. He'll remain in play as a strong WR2 in PPR […]

Ryan Izzo, Matt LaCosse Out Against Browns

New England Patriots tight ends Ryan Izzo (concussion) and Matt LaCosse (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 8 against the Browns. Watson had three catches for 18 yards in his season debut against the Jets on Monday night and will remain the starter at the position with both Izzo and LaCosse out. The […]

Joel Embiid Doesn't Practice on Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) was not able to suit up for practice on Friday. Embiid played well during Wednesday's season opener, but did suffer a right ankle sprain. He's listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The team is going to manage Embiid's workload this season to hopefully keep him […]

Jack Doyle Questionable For Week 8

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (groin) was limited in practice on Friday and is now questionable for Week 8 against the Broncos. Doyle has been playing second fiddle to Eric Ebron all year long and has 17 receptions for 149 yards and just one touchdown in six games for the Colts. Doyle hasn't caught […]

Nemanja Bjelica Joins Starting Five on Friday

Sacramento Kings forward Nemanja Bjelica will join the starting five for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Marvin Bagley (thumb) is going to be sidelined for the next month or so. Bejelica averaged 9.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.9 assists as a starter last season, so head coach Luke Walton is hopeful that can happen […]

Chris Boswell Not A Great Streaming Option In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has been perfect so far in 2019. However, with a projected blowout against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, Boswell might not be getting a lot of field-goal opportunities. He's a better option in Week 9 when the Steelers face off with Indianapolis.

The Steelers Defense Should Thrive Against the Dolphins

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense gets the juiciest of fantasy matchups when they play host to the Dolphins for Monday Night Football in Week 8. Despite Stephon Tuitt (pectoral) being out for the season, the Steelers defense has been solid the past few weeks. According to FootballOutsiders.com, they ranked 10th against the pass and 15th against […]

Christian Kirk Will Be Game-Time Decision

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 8 against the Saints, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kirk is off the fantasy radar after not having played since Sept. 29 against the Seahawks. He hasn't done much other than a six-catch, 114-yard game on Sept. 15 against the […]

Vance McDonald Has Good Matchup Against Dolphins

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) should be ready to go against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night. Coming off the team's bye week in Week 7, McDonald hasn't been as reliable in fantasy as some who drafted him had hoped for. Take out his seven reception, two touchdown performance in Week 2 and […]

Jimmy Butler Won't Play This Weekend

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will miss the upcoming two-game road trip this weekend, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Butler will be with his family following the birth of his daughter. Kendrick Nunn and Tyler Herro are expected to benefit the most without Butler on the court. Nunn dropped 24 points in his […]

Buddy Hield Goes Through Shootaround

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield (ankle) was able to go through shootaround without any issues on Friday. Hield suffered a left ankle sprain on Wednesday, but was able to play through the issue. He was listed as questionable for Friday's game against Portland, but is active for this game. Fantasy owners can feel safe about […]

Rams Defense Worth Streaming

The Los Angeles Rams Defense is worth scooping and streaming this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have allowed 15 sacks, seven picks and lost four fumbles over the last five weeks. The Rams looked better on defense last week and are a midrange start.

Gerald Everett Running With The Big Boys

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett has the third-most fantasy points at the position the last five weeks. Let that soak in for a minute. He has scored more points in standard leagues than Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce during that stretch with 20 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns. He […]

Robert Woods Still In Flex Territory

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has played the hot-or-cold role this season. Woods' 13 receptions for 164 yards in Week 4 was nearly one-third of his season-long totals in both categories. He also hasn't scored a touchdown. Woods is averaging almost nine targets per game, though. The Cincinnati Bengals aren't a great matchup, […]

Cooper Kupp Still Running As A WR1

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has had a couple of forgettable weeks in fantasy, but he still ranks ninth in average fantasy points at the position the last five weeks. Kupp has 58 catches for 407 yards and four touchdowns during the stretch. The Cincinnati Bengals aren't a great matchup, but Kupp still […]

Brandin Cooks Has A Tough Matchup

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been really mediocre over the last five weeks. He has 22 catches for 289 yards and no touchdowns in five games. The Cincinnati Bengals aren't a great matchup as they have been a tougher matchup during that stretch allowing just under 140 receiving yards per games to […]

Asdrubal Cabrera Starting Friday, Howie Kendrick On The Bench

Washington Nationals infielder Asdrubal Cabrera is starting at second base and is hitting fifth against Astros starter Zack Greinke in Game 3 of the World Series on Friday. Howie Kendrick will start this game on the bench. Cabrera, a switch-hitter, has hit just .222 (4-for-18) in the postseason this year, but he has a better […]

Darrell Henderson A Risky Flex

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson has a decent outlook this week against the Cincinnati Bengals. The question is whether the team will get out to a big lead in London and opt to rest starting running back Todd Gurley for Henderson to pad his stats. They have vastly underperformed on offense, and they […]

Todd Gurley With Positive Outlook

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a healthy outlook for Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals are among the worst at defending the position the last five weeks and have allowed backs to rush for 117 yards per game. Gurley has scored five touchdowns in his last three games, and this […]

Jared Goff A Solid Play

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has a decent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals this week. The Bengals are in the lower half of the league in defending the quarterback position over the last five weeks. Oddly enough, they have given up a ton of yardage through the air and on the ground, but they […]

Darius Slay Ruled Out Against Giants

Detroit Lions cornerback Darius Slay (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Giants. The Giants passing game will actually have a pretty decent chance to put up numbers against Detroit's secondary without Slay in the fold. Golden Tate will be quarterback Daniel Jones' preferred target in the middle of the field, and […]

Diontae Johnson Has Flex Upside In Week 8

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson has been serving as the team's WR2 over the past few weeks, and coming off a bye week he is in a great position going against the Miami Dolphins. Even with James Washington (shoulder) returning to practice this week, the rookie Johnson has commanded 16 targets over the last […]

Breshad Perriman Will Return In Week 8

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 8 against the Titans. Perriman will see the field for the first time since Sept. 29 against the Rams. The 26-year-old hasn't become a fixture in this offense, catching just three passes […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster In Spot To Break Out

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster gets a dream matchup against the Miami Dolphins for Monday Night Football. The 23-year-old hasn't been much of a fantasy asset this season, thanks in part to a quarterback injury carousel in Pittsburgh. However, fresh off a bye week, Smith-Schuster is looking to resurrect himself following a one catch […]

Jaylen Samuels, James Washington Could Return

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Samuels (knee) and wide receiver James Washington (shoulder) have both practiced in full the last two days and could return on Monday night against the Dolphins. Both Samuels and Washington could return to action this week. Samuels would return to his backup role behind James Conner, although he could see […]

Benny Snell Jr. Could See Increased Work Against Miami

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 75 yards on 17 carries in the team's Week 6 win over the Chargers. His workload could be similar for Monday Night Football, when the team hosts Miami. In a projected blowout, if the Steelers want to run the clock out and save James Conner's […]

James Conner Has RB1 Upside Against Dolphins

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner hasn't been the high-end fantasy running back that many drafted him as, but a Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins puts him in a great spot. Despite not rushing for more than 55 yards in a single game this season, Conner has still found pay dirt five times […]

DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles, Jason Peters Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen), running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) and left tackle Jason Peters (knee) have all been ruled out for Week 8 against the Bills after missing practice all week. Jackson hasn't played since Week 2 and is without a timetable to return. The absence of his field-stretching prowess is really […]
