JuJu Smith-Schuster Catches Highlight-Reel Touchdown

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster caught five passes on nine targets for 103 yards and a score in Monday’s win over the Miami Dolphins. This outing gives a major sigh of relief for his fantasy owners, as Smith-Schuster had struggled mightily through the team’s first six games. As long as Mason Rudolph stays healthy, […]

Benny Snell Jr. Leaves Game With Knee Injury

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Benny Snell Jr. rushed for 13 yards on five carries before exiting Monday night’s game against the Dolphins with a knee injury, according to Burt Lauten. The Kentucky product got some early work, despite the Steelers trailing Miami for the entire first half. The severity of the injury is unknown, […]

James Conner Scores, Reaches Century Mark

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, while also hauling three passes for five yards in Monday night’s win over Miami.

Mason Rudolph Recovers After Rough Start

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph finished 20 of 36 for 251 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in Monday’s win over the Dolphins.

Russell Westbrook Falls One Assist Shy Of Triple-Double

Houston Rockets guard Russell Westbrook had 21 points, 12 rebounds and nine assists against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. In his first game playing against his former team, Westbrook shot 9-for-16 from the field while continuing his incredible start to the season in the Rockets 116-112 win. The fact is that the Rockets […]

Julius Randle Notches Another Double-Double During Victory

New York Knicks power forward/center Julius Randle has developed a reputation as a double-double machine for good reason. Despite his odd eight turnover performance Monday against the Chicago Bulls, Randle was still relied upon enough to collect 13 points and 14 rebounds, good for his fourth straight double-double to open the year. It was far […]

Zach LaVine Collects Team-High 21 Points In Defeat

After an 11-point effort last time out, Chicago Bulls point/shooting guard Zach LaVine got back into somewhat of an offensive rhythm, collecting a team-best 21 points during Monday’s loss to the New York Knicks. The three-point shot was not there for LaVine, who finished 2-for-7 from deep, although he was able to add five rebounds […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Logs Double-Double Despite Thumb Ailment

Chicago Bulls center Wendell Carter Jr. entered Monday’s contest against the New York Knicks with a thumb issue that popped him up on the injury report, although it didn’t appear to hamper him whatsoever during his 20-point, 10-rebound evening. Carter saw just 28 minutes, but finished 7-for-9 from the floor during that stretch, also adding […]

RJ Barrett Records First Career Double-Double In Win

New York Knicks guard/forward RJ Barrett starred across his 40 minutes Monday versus the Chicago Bulls, notching his first regular season double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds.

Joel Embiid Will Play And Start In Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) went through warm ups and will "give it a go" Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Embiid was a game-time decision after missing Saturday's game with an ankle injury. There are no reports of any limitations, so it is likely Embiid resumes his normal workload. With Embiid's return, Matisse […]

Derrick Favors Late Scratch Monday

New Orleans Pelicans forward/center Derrick Favors (knee) has been ruled out Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. This was a surprise as there were no injury designations before being ruled out. However, the Pelicans PR team is calling this "knee soreness". Hopefully this is not serious, but given the injury history of Favors, owners […]

Jrue Holiday Remains Out Monday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (knee) will not play Monday night against the Golden State Warriors. Holiday will miss his second straight game with a knee injury and remains day-to-day. In Holiday's absence, Josh Hart should continue to start. Hart scored 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting as a starter Saturday night.

Joel Embiid Game-Time Decision Against Atlanta

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) is a game-time decision Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks. Embiid missed Saturday night's contest, but was able to go through shootaround Monday morning. Team officials noted Embiid will go through warmups before Monday's game in order to determine his status. If Embiid is unable to go, Matisse Thybulle […]

Reggie Jackson Ruled Out Against Pacers

Detroit Pistons guard Reggie Jackson (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Jackson has been dealing with lingering back soreness since the beginning of the season. He'll sit this one out, which means Tim Frazier is expected to draw another start. Derrick Rose will be asked to play heavy minutes […]

Kent Bazemore Could See Increased Role

Portland Trail Blazers guard/forward Kent Bazemore said he's fine with whatever role he's given. He just wants to go out there and impact the game however he can. Bazemore has been reliable on defense to begin the season, but hasn't done much on offense. Zach Collins (shoulder) could be looking at missing some games, so […]

Marquise Goodwin Returns After Missing Week 8

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) returned to the team on Monday. Goodwin had been absent since last Thursday and missed Week 8’s game dealing with a family issue. Goodwin has 196 scrimmage yards and a touchdown this season and was a fringe fantasy player even before the Niners acquired wideout Emmanuel Sanders. […]

Kawhi Leonard Shouldn't Be Limited

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard will likely play in the 30-35 minute range, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers don't want to limit Leonard, but they know that playing him 35 minutes or more each game is a lot. It is likely going to depend on how the game is going, but […]

Matt Breida "Limited" In Practice Report

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida (ankle) was “limited” in Monday’s practice report. The Niners issued an estimated injury report ahead of a Thursday showdown with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9. Breida was running hard in Week 8, collecting 50 yards before exiting with an ankle injury midway through the game. Reports suggest […]

Zach Collins Has Been Ruled Out for Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Zach Collins (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The team is waiting for the MRI results before they know more information about the injury. Head coach Terry Stotts has a decent amount of depth to work with so they probably won't rush Collins back. […]

Jimmy Butler Will Play on Tuesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) will be in the starting five for Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Butler missed the first three games of the season due to the birth of his child. Head coach Erik Spoelstra is not going to ease him back into things either. Kendrick Nunn or Tyler Herro will […]

Rodney McGruder Won't Play on Monday

Los Angeles Clippers forward Rodney McGruder (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Doc Rivers is unsure when McGruder is going to be ready to play. It sounds safe to leave McGruder on the waiver wire going forward in most formats. Maurice Harkless should soak up most of […]

Joel Embiid Participates in Shootaround

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) was able to participate in Monday's shootaround. He missed Saturday's game due to a right ankle sprain, but this is a good sign that he'll play. Kyle O'Quinn and Matisse Thybulle would see a boost in minutes if Embiid is unable to play. More information on his status should […]

Jeremy Lamb is Officially Ruled Out for Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (hip) was been officially ruled out for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the second game in a row that Lamb has missed due to a hip pointer. Lamb didn't practice over the weekend, so seeing him ruled out here isn't surprising. Edmond Sumner should get another chance […]

Ricky Rubio is Ready to Go for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (knee) will be ready to go for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. Rubio missed Saturday's game against the Clippers due to a sore left knee. He says it's still a little swollen, but was able to fully participate during Monday's shootaround. Jevon Carter will return to the bench with […]

Otto Porter Will Play Against Knicks

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter (face) will suit up for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. He needed six stitches to repair a cut on his mouth that he suffered during Saturday's game. Porter was able to stay in the game and is fine for Monday's contest. The hip issue is a bigger concern […]

Dwight Powell Could Play on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Powell has missed the first two games of the season due to a lingering hamstring issue. However, he's getting closer to a return. Fantasy owners should make sure he's not on the waiver wire. Check back on Tuesday […]

Harry Giles is Getting Closer to A Return

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. However, Giles was listed as questionable for this one, so he's getting closer to taking the court. He'll offer some upside with Marvin Bagley (thumb) sidelined for a significant amount of time. Giles is only worth a look […]

Joe Flacco Set To Miss Week 9 With Herniated Disk

Denver Broncos quarterback Joe Flacco (neck) will not play against the Cleveland Browns in Week 9, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Backup quarterback Brandon Allen will make his first career start in the contest. The Broncos possess one of the worst passing attacks in football, and that will only become more evident with Allen […]
