We only have two games tonight, but the best defenses in the conference were in action last night. That should open things up a little more on this slate.

Should I Drop Tyler Lockett? Fantasy Football Outlook For Week 12

Markus Bailey Gets Suspended

Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Bailey has been suspended six games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy.

Bailey spent four seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals before joining the Cardinals this offseason. Bailey will be […]

Bradley Beal Still Out On Wednesday Evening

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) won't play against the Knicks on Wednesday night. The 31-year-old will now miss his fifth-straight contest, which is not ideal, considering the team is also without Kevin Durant (calf). Even worse, Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is questionable heading into Wednesday's game. At any rate, Oso Ighodaro and Ryan Dunn should […]

Jusuf Nurkic Questionable Versus The Knicks

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. The veteran has been burdened by an ankle injury.

Marco Wilson Joining The Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have claimed defensive back Marco Wilson off waivers on Tuesday. Wilson was waived by the New England Patriots on Monday, so it didn't take long for him to find a new home.

Anthony Davis Will Play Against The Jazz

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) will play on Tuesday versus Utah. The 31-year-old has been dealing with a foot injury for a while, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to go away anytime soon. Fortunately, he should continue to play, barring a setback. Davis has had an MVP-caliber season thus far, averaging a […]
