Tyler Higbee Not An Option

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee has been an afterthought in the offense this season with 16 catches for 154 yards and a touchdown in five games. He has a good matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week, but he is too spotty to rely on in traditional leagues. He'd be someone to take […]

Robert Woods Worth Flex Consideration

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has been Jekyll and Hyde in the matter of a couple of weeks. He busted out with 13 catches for 164 yards three weeks ago and didn't catch a last on four targets last week. He'll have a brighter matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, who are the best […]

Cooper Kupp A Banner Play

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp broke a four-game string with 100 receiving yards last week as the entire offense was shut down by the San Francisco 49ers. The good news, though, is the Rams face the leaky Atlanta Falcons Defense, which is the worst at defending receivers the last five weeks. Kupp is […]

Brandin Cooks In Line For Big Things

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks has been irrelevant for a couple of weeks for fantasy owners. He left the Oct. 3 game with a concussion, and the entire Rams offense was plugged up last week. He had four catches for 47 yards in the two games combined. He has an awesome matchup against […]

Darrell Henderson Could Run As A Flex

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson could have some luster as a flex option against the Atlanta Falcons. Running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is doubtful this week, but Todd Gurley (thigh) is expected back. Gurley's workload could be spotty, and Henderson could see extended run. He rushed six times for 39 yards in Week […]

Jared Goff Should Bounce Back

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff is coming off of one of his most futile games in recent memory as he threw for only 78 yards in the loss against the San Francisco 49ers last week. Goff owners should be happy to see the Atlanta Falcons in the forefront this week. The Falcons are the […]

Damiere Byrd Shouldn't Be Started

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd caught both of his targets for 60 yards last week, and he'll have a good matchup against the New York Giants. Wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) is iffy to play again this week, and receiver Keesean Johnson has done nothing in his increased looks. Byrd could wind up usurping […]

KeeSean Johnson Not An Option

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has just 14 catches for 131 yards on the season despite a number of injuries that opened doors in the offense. He has a good matchup against the New York Giants this week, but he simply hasn't produced enough to warrant owning outside of dynasty formats.

Larry Fitzgerald A Supplemental Piece

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has a great matchup against the New York Giants this week. The Giants allow the fifth-most fantasy points per game over the last five weeks. Wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) and running back David Johnson (ankle) are both game-time decisions, which could put more emphasis on Fitz. He's averaging […]

Chase Edmonds Worth Consideration

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds has been a sneaky contributor over the last two games, but it's because he found the end zone each game. He had 12 carries for 102 yards and five catches for 51 yards combined in the games, and he scored on the ground and through the air. Starting running […]

Kyler Murray Emerges As QB1

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a good matchup against the New York Giants in Week 7. Murray has been hot lately, and he's fifth in fantasy points among quarterbacks over the last three weeks. Murray has tossed for 834 yards, three touchdowns and one interception, but his legs have been the difference. He has […]

Offensive Explosion From Casey Mittelstadt Lifts Sabres

Buffalo Sabres forward Casey Mittelstadt factored in on all three of Buffalo's goals Thursday night, scoring two goals and an assist. Mittelstadt had gone six games without a point after picking up two assists in the season-opener. Five points in eight games are an encouraging start to the season for the young pivot, but there […]

Carter Hutton Blanks Kings, Wins Fifth Straight

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton recorded his second shutout in a row, stopping all 47 of the shots he faced Thursday night. Every player in the Kings lineup registered a shot as Buffalo was heavily outshot, although none of them were able to convert. Hutton now has five wins in five starts with a stellar […]

Vikings Defense Is In A Solid Spot Against Lions

The Vikings Defense is again ranking among the NFL's best through six weeks. They rank fifth in yards allowed per game (310.3), fifth in yards allowed per play (4.8), sixth in points allowed per game (15.5), and 10th in sacks (17). They face the Detroit Lions on the road in Week 7 in a pivotal […]

Alexander Mattison Is A Desperation Flex Play In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison remains the clear backup to starter Dalvin Cook, but the rookie has started to emerge as a player who could be used as a bye-week streamer in favorable matchups. Mattison rushed 14 times for 63 yards in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that ranks among the […]

Stefon Diggs Is Back On WR2 Radar In Week 7

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs should be started as a low-end WR2 in Week 7 against the Detroit Lions. He went nuclear in Week 6 with seven catches for 167 yards and three touchdowns, but the Lions Defense is tough against outside receivers and there's a chance that he's shadowed by shutdown corner Darius […]

Domantas Sabonis is Not Close on Contract Extension

Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis is not close on a contract extension with the Monday deadline looming. The Pacers are reportedly actively shopping Sabonis to see what they can get. It's unlikely that the Pacers move Sabonis, but it's possibly if the two can't come to an agreement. T.J. Warren, T.J. Leaf, and Goga Bitadze […]

Marquese Chriss Makes Final Cut

Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss made the cut for the regular season roster, according to Shams Charania. Chriss played very well in the preseason and the Warriors will need him to open the season. Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) is sidelined, so there will be minutes for Chriss in the rotation. He's more of a deep […]

Blake Griffin Should Be Ready for Regular Season

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (hamstring) is expected to be fully healed and ready to play in the regular season, according to head coach Dwane Casey. Griffin ended last season with a left knee issue that required surgery. He's been battling a hamstring issue in camp, so hopefully it's not something that lingers. Griffin is […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Participates in Activities on Friday

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) was able to participate in a light workout after shootaround on Friday. Cauley-Stein suffered a left foot injury in late September and hasn't done much work since then. He's expected to miss the first few weeks of the season, but it could be longer. It's unclear at the […]

Zion Williamson to Miss A Few Weeks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (knee) is expected to be sidelined for a few weeks, according to Chris Haynes. The exact timetable is unclear, but it doesn't appear to be anything significant. More details about the injury should be known soon, but the Pelicans are going to be cautious here. Derrick Favors and Brandon […]

De'Aaron Fox, Dewayne Dedmon Return to Practice

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (back) and center Dewayne Dedmon (illness) were able to return for Friday's practice. Fox has been dealing with some back issues, but appears to have put it behind him. He's expected to be fine for the regular season opener. Dedmon was battling an illness, but is set to be […]

Harry Giles Expected to Sit to Start the Season

Sacramento Kings center Harry Giles (knee) is likely going to be sidelined to begin the regular season. Head coach Luke Walton said that he's going to take his time with Giles and bring him along slowly. Giles already has serious knee issues and Walton doesn't want to put his career in danger. Richaun Holmes should […]

Avery Bradley, Dwight Howard to Rest Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley (rest) and center Dwight Howard (rest) are sitting out of Friday's preseason game against the Golden State Warriors. Both players had strong preseasons, but head coach Frank Vogel will let the young guys play in this one. Howard is worth grabbing in the last few rounds of standard drafts, […]

Marquise Brown Questionable For Week 7

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) didn't practice all week but is questionable for Week 7 against the Seahawks. Brown missed last week and is certainly on the wrong side of questionable this weekend. Making things even more difficult for fantasy owners is the fact that Brown and the Ravens kick off in […]

Jonas Valanciunas Begins Conditioning Work

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (knee) is beginning to do some conditioning work this week. It doesn't sound like he's been able to go through a full practice yet, but the Grizzlies are being cautious here. Brandon Clarke has been playing well and is seeing his stock quickly rise in standard leagues. Valanciunas will drop […]

Kevon Looney Expected to Play in Season Opener

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) is expected to be ready to play in Thursday's season opener against the Los Angeles Clippers. He suffered a hamstring injury in early October, but returned to practice a few days ago. Looney is expected to share the center minutes with Marquese Chriss to open the season. He'll […]

Marquise Goodwin Too Risky Against Hopeless Redskins

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin should see a bump in usage with Deebo Samuel (groin) ruled out in Week 7 against the Washington Redskins. Goodwin leads all Niner wideouts in snaps but has surpassed 45 receiving yards just once this season. With the team heavy favorites and the Redskins pass defense inept at […]

D.J. Stewart Has Microfracture Surgery

Baltimore Orioles outfielder D.J. Stewart (ankle) underwent successful microfracture surgery on his right ankle on Thursday. Stewart is expected to return to baseball activities near the end of spring training. Microfracture procedures aren't your typical surgery, so Stewart should be expected to miss the start of the 2020 regular season, and he could be slowed […]

Victor Oladipo is Progressing Well

Indiana Pacers guard Victor Oladipo (knee) is expected to play some 5-on-5 in the next couple of days. Oladipo is progressing faster than he was expected and could beat his December timetable. He is worth grabbing in the 75-100 range in most drafts, assuming there is an IR spot available. The Pacers are going to […]
