Nikola Vucevic is Back at Practice on Saturday

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic (ankle) was able to fully participate in Saturday's practice, according to head coach Steve Clifford. Vucevic is dealing with a mild ankle sprain, but has downplayed the severity. It's unclear whether or not Vucevic will suit up for Sunday's preseason game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He should be fine for […]

Jonas Valanciunas Shut Down for Preseason

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) will be shut down for the rest of the preseason. Valanciunas is dealing with foot soreness, but the team doesn't appear worried about it. They want to give him as much rest as possible before the regular season. It's unclear whether or not Valanciunas will be ready for the […]

Darius Garland is Doubtful for Sunday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's preseason game against the Boston Celtics. He was limited in camp earlier due to a left foot issue. Garland has some decent upside in the middle rounds of drafts, assuming he's healthy. The Cavs are rebuilding, so Garland should see plenty of action […]

Kyle Lowry is Questionable to Play Versus Bulls

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's preseason game against the Chicago Bulls. Lowry has not played since undergoing thumb surgery in July. It's unclear whether or not Lowry will be ready for opening night. He'll be a steal in fantasy drafts, assuming he's healthy this season.

Marc Gasol Sits Out Against Bulls

Toronto Raptors center Marc Gasol (rest) will sit out of Sunday's preseason contest against the Chicago Bulls. He made his preseason debut on Thursday, but played just 18 minutes off the bench. The Raptors are going to manage his workload after he played in the FIBA World Cup this summer. Gasol still holds fantasy value, […]

Alec Burks is Making Progress

Golden State Warriors guard/forward Alec Burks (ankle) is making solid progress, but still remains out of practice. He sprained his right ankle about a week ago and still has yet to practice. Burks needs to play during camp to earn his spot in the rotation. The Warriors need depth guys like Burks, but it's hard […]

Kevon Looney Remains Out of Practice

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (hamstring) remains out of practice after suffering an injury over a week ago. He hurt his hamstring 10 days ago, but the Warriors are making sure he's fully healthy for the regular season. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss will continue to fill in at center. Looney does have some […]

Paul George Could Miss First Ten Games

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George (shoulder) could be sidelined the first ten games of the regular season, according to head coach Doc Rivers. The Clippers have not given a definitive timetable, but this sounds about accurate. That would have George returning around the middle of November. He'll still have great fantasy value, despite being […]

Jrue Holiday is Removed from Injury List

New Orleans Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday (quad) has been removed from the injury report for Monday's preseason game against the San Antonio Spurs. Holiday did not play in Friday's contest due to a left quad contusion. Josh Hart and Nickeil Alexander-Walker saw more minutes without Holiday on the court. It appears Holiday is fine, so […]

Ricky Rubio Will Rest Against Blazers

Phoenix Suns point guard Ricky Rubio (rest) will not suit up for Saturday's preseason game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He'll be joined alongside by teammates Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton. Rubio may lose some of the ball handling to Booker in the regular season, but that won't kill his fantasy value. Rubio should see […]

Cooper Kupp Remains A WR1 Ahead Of Week 6

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp continues to be full-fledged WR1 across all fantasy formats. With one of the most consistent target shares in the league and a quarterback that appears willing to throw 50 times (or more) in a game, Kupp’s extraordinary start is legit. The third-year receiver continues to lead the team […]

Robert Woods Remains Incredibly Inconsistent

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods returned back to Earth in Week 5 with five receptions on nine targets for just 48 yards. This followed a superhuman Week 4 performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers where Woods had led the team in yardage, receptions, and targets. While the veteran’s inconsistency is concerning, his upside, […]

Willie Snead Viable If Marquise Brown Is Out

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead had four catches on five targets for 51 yards in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. On the season, Snead has 12 receptions for 205 yards and two touchdowns. If receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) is unable to go Sunday, Snead could see a favorable increase in targets against a […]

Jared Goff Will Continue To Air The Ball Out

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff has remained aggressive in the air, throwing the ball 49 times for 295 yards in the team’s 30-29 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks. Incredibly, Goff’s performance came on a short week; the fourth-year QB had just thrown 68 passes, the third-most in league history, in a Week 4 loss […]

Andrei Svechnikov Scores First of Season in Rout of Islanders

Carolina Hurricanes forward Andrei Svechnikov converted on a third period shot to pick up his first goal of the season during Friday's win over the Islanders.

Adam Eaton Starting In Right Field

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton will start and hit second against the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright in Game 2.

Rare Offensive Burst From Brett Pesce Helps Carolina Over New York

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce scored his second goal of the season on Friday night as the Hurricanes won their fifth straight game.

Marcell Ozuna Has Past Success Against Max Scherzer

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna will hit cleanup against the Nationals Max Scherzer in Game 2 of the NLCS.

Ryan Zimmerman Starting With Favorable Matchup

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman will get the start and hit sixth against the Cardinals and Adam Wainwright in Game 2 of the NLCS.

Paul Goldschmidt Has Tough Game 2 Test

St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt will start and hit third in Game 2 of the NLCS. The slugger went 0-for-4 in Game 1 but is slashing .360/.407/.760 with two home runs and four doubles through 25 postseason at-bats. He will have a tough matchup, however, against the Nationals Max Scherzer in Game 2. […]

Kirk Cousins Is A Decent QB2 Option In Week 6

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins could be in line for a second straight usable fantasy performance in Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Though the Eagles have the fourth-best pass rush (per PFF), they've been decimated by injuries to their secondary and had allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns (nine) prior to facing Luke Falk in […]
