Jets Defense Shredded By Patriots

The New York Jets Defense was dominated by the Patriots in a 33-0 loss to the Patriots Monday night. The Jets allowed a 16-play touchdown drive to open the game and things went downhill from there as Tom Brady and the Patriots did anything they wanted in the game. Brady had clean pockets to throw […]

Le'Veon Bell Totals 76 Yards Monday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell rushed 15 times for 70 yards while hauling in one of four targets for an additional six yards vs the Patriots Monday. Bell's 16 touches aren't ideal for fantasy, especially after getting only 15 touches last week, but he still dominated the backfield touches with the lower workload […]

Jamison Crowder Makes Four Catches Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made four catches for 26 yards on five targets in a brutal home loss to the Patriots Monday night. Crowder's four catches lead the team on a night QB Sam Darnold only completed 11 passes, but he could do nothing with those catches against the elite New England […]

Robby Anderson Catches One Of Eight Targets Monday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson caught one pass for 10 yards on eight targets in an ugly loss to the Patriots Monday night. Anderson was blanketed by All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore all night and could get nothing going downfield as QB Sam Darnold was under pressure almost every snap. Anderson has had one […]

Matt Breida, Marquise Goodwin Pass Concussion Protocol

San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin both passed concussion protocol on Monday and should be fine heading into Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers.

Demaryius Thomas Targeted Nine Times

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas caught three passes for 42 yards in a loss to the Patriots Monday night. Thomas' nine targets lead the team, but he could do little with that opportunity as QB Sam Darnold was under pressure all night and only completed 11 passes total. Thomas has been getting more […]

Sam Darnold Has Complete Meltdown Vs Patriots

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold had a night to forget vs New England in Week 7 completing only 11 of 32 passes for 86 yards. Darnold, who was out with mono during the Jets' first meeting with the NFL's number one defense, threw a career-high four interceptions and also lost a fumble in a […]

Taj Gibson Doesn't Practice Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Dwight Powell (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's season opener against the Washington Wizards.

Powell should be a reliable […]

Jerami Grant: 2019-20 Fantasy Basketball Sleeper

Joe Johnson Waived by Pistons

Detroit Pistons forward Joe Johnson has been waived by the organization on Monday. Johnson won MVP in the Big3 league, but sadly age has caught up to him.

Position: PG Team: Memphis Grizzlies Draft Spot: 1.02 Analysis: JA Morant was clearly the best player in the 2019 draft class outside of Zion Williamson.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo (calf) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's regular season opener against the Clippers. He's dealing with a sore calf, so that's nothing to be worried about.

Hassan Whiteside Expected to Play in Season Opener

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) was a full participant during Monday's practice. Whiteside has been bothered by an ankle issue throughout the preseason, but it seems to be getting better. He should be fine for the regular season opener against the Denver Nuggets. He has a tough time stay healthy, but has plenty […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Won't Be Limited

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and center Anthony Davis won't have any minute restrictions for Tuesday's season opener against the Clippers.

Harry Giles is Limited on Monday

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) was a limited participant during Monday's practice. Giles is making progress, but was still held out of the contact portions of practice. The Kings are going to be cautious with Giles, so don't expect him to be ready for Wednesday's opener. He'll likely be limited once he's cleared to […]
