Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Jordan Love, Drake Maye, C.J. Stroud

Quarterbacks are generally the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, and a dud game from your QB can sink your week and lose you your matchup. For that reason, it's vitally important that you make good start/sit decisions for this position, perhaps more so than others. The floor QBs possess is always nice, but nightmare games, […]

Chris Paul Good To Go Thursday

San Antonio Spurs point guard Chris Paul (thumb) will suit up against Utah on Thursday. He's dealing with a left thumb injury but will be ready to play through it, with the team upgrading him from probable to available. After initially struggling in his new surroundings, Paul has performed well lately and is nicely set […]

Brock Purdy Limited Again On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Purdy also didn't speak to the media after practice on Thursday, instead opting to get extra treatment for his sore right shoulder. The 24-year-old's status is a bit up in the air […]

Malik Monk Making Progress

Sacramento Kings guard Malik Monk (ankle) was able to get through the non-contact portions of practice on Thursday. Head coach Mike Brown expects Monk to sit out during Friday's game, but it looks like Monk is making progress. The 26-year-old has missed each of the last five games due to a right ankle sprain. Keon […]

George Kittle Limited Again On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (hamstring) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday.

The 31-year-old intends to return this Sunday to face the […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Christian Watson, Chuba Hubbard, Brock Purdy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard, and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) are popular fantasy options heading into Week 12, so it's important to know which ones you can trust as starters and which ones may need to see the bench. Of course, it will depend […]

Tre Mann Good To Go On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Tre Mann (back) is available ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Mann is dealing with lower back soreness, but it doesn't appear to be severe enough to hold him out of the lineup. He finished with 19 points and six assists through 25 minutes on Tuesday. He'll continue to be […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Tucker Kraft, Cade Otton, Dallas Goedert, Dalton Schultz, Zach Ertz

The tight-end position is perhaps the most difficult to predict in fantasy football. Even for the best players in this position, usage in the passing game can vary wildly on a week-by-week basis, creating frustrating situations for fantasy managers, who obviously want to start the highest-scoring guys. To make matters worse, some of them seem […]

Khalil Mack Starts The Week With Limited Practice

Los Angeles Chargers outside linebacker Khalil Mack (groin) was listed as a limited participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Outside linebackers Joey Bosa (hip) and Bud Dupree (foot) and safety Derwin James Jr. (groin) were also limited. Meanwhile, linebacker Denzel Perryman (groin) was a DNP. Mack aggravated a groin injury […]

Miles Bridges Won't Play On Thursday

Charlotte Hornets forward Miles Bridges (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Bridges has been dealing with a nagging right knee issue and he appears to be in too much to pain to play on Thursday. His absence should result in more playing time for Tidjane Salaun and Cody […]

Jaire Alexander Dealing With Torn PCL, No Timetable For A Return

Green Bay Packers cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) said on Thursday that he's dealing with a torn PCL that he suffered in the win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8.

Vince Williams Jr. Out At Least A Month

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has only managed to play in three games this season as the injuries continue to pile up on him. Williams suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As a result, Williams will be shut down for four weeks and will be […]

Austin Hooper Removed From Week 12 Injury Report

The New England Patriots removed tight end Austin Hooper (neck) from the Week 12 injury report on Thursday, which means he was a full practice participant. Hooper was limited in Wednesday's session but is now ready to roll for a divisional clash this Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium against the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old veteran […]

Scottie Barnes Returning On Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (eye) will make his return to the court for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Barnes is back after missing 11 games due to a right orbital fracture. The expectation is that Barnes is going to be under a minutes limit during his first game back. Ochai Agbaji has been […]

Nelson Agholor Out Sick On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor (illness) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. It's worth watching, but with the Ravens playing on Monday night in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers, Agholor should be feeling better by then. We'll have a better idea of the […]

Alex Ovechkin To Miss 4-6 Weeks With Fractured Fibula

Washington Capitals winger Alex Ovechkin will be out for 4-6 weeks with a fractured fibula, the team announced on Thursday. Ovechkin suffered the injury in Monday's game against Utah.

Paul George Out At Least Two Games

Philadelphia 76ers forward Paul George (knee) will miss at least the next two games. The veteran suffered a bone bruise in Wednesday's loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, ending his night after only 17 minutes of work. He will be re-evaluated on Monday. Luckily, an MRI on Thursday revealed no structural damage. With that in mind, […]

Aaron Gordon's Availability In Question For Friday

According to Kathy Winge of AltitudeTV, Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon's (calf) status for Friday's game with the Dallas Mavericks is still to be determined. Gordon hopes to return after suffering a right-calf strain after missing multiple weeks of action. The 29-year-old's potential return could be a big boost for fantasy managers, as he averaged 15.4 […]

Zach Hyman Expected To Miss 4-7 Days

Edmonton Oilers winger Zach Hyman (undisclosed) is expected to be out for 4-7 days. He was hurt versus Ottawa on Tuesday and will miss his first game of the season when the Oilers host Minnesota on Thursday night.

Justice Hill In Concussion Protocol, Limited On Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol but was able to put in a limited practice on Thursday. Hill apparently came out of the Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers with a concussion and is now questionable to suit up for the Monday night showdown against the Los […]

Kent Johnson Back For Blue Jackets Thursday

Columbus Blue Jackets center Kent Johnson (shoulder) will be welcomed back to the lineup on Thursday against Tampa Bay. The 22-year-old skated in only four games at the start of the campaign before landing on Injured Reserve with a shoulder problem. Johnson enjoyed a hot start, posting two goals and three assists. He will link […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Uncertain To Face The Sixers

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the 76ers. The 31-year-old had a solid showing in Tuesday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, amassing 15 points and shooting 80% from behind the arc. But if the ankle sprain keeps him off the court on Friday night, Noah Clowney and Jalen Wilson […]

Yaroslav Askarov Makes Sharks Debut Thursday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Yaroslav Askarov will make his team debut in Thursday's battle against St. Louis. The 22-year-old is getting a look by the team after going 6-3-0 in the AHL, allowing 1.92 goals with a .939 save percentage. Askarov has previously worked in three NHL games with the Nashville Predators, posting a 1-1-0 […]

Jalen Hurts Practices In Full On Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) returned to full participation in Thursday's practice, as expected, after he was limited on Wednesday. Hurts tweaked his ankle a little bit a week ago in the win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and was receiving a little extra maintenance for it on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was never in […]

Nicolas Claxton Questionable Versus Philly

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (back) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the 76ers. Claxton has been banged up all year, entering the season working his way back from a hamstring injury. However, a back ailment has kept him off the floor for the Nets' previous three contests. If the 25-year-old is back on […]

Nikola Jokic Absent From Practice On Thursday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (personal) was absent from practice on Thursday, as reported by Katy Winge of AltitudeTV. This leaves his availability for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks uncertain. The 29-year-old has been sidelined for three straight games due to personal matters. In his absence, veteran center Dario Saric is expected to keep […]

Theo Johnson Upgrades To Full Practice

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (back) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice after he went down as limited on the injury report on Wednesday. Johnson has been dealing with a back injury of late but didn't miss the Week 10 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Germany and had […]

Mikael Granlund Good To Go Thursday

San Jose Sharks forward Mikael Granlund (upper body) will be in the lineup on Thursday versus St. Louis. He missed the ending of Wednesday's 5-2 loss to Dallas with an upper-body injury, but fortunately for the Sharks, Granlund will be good to go Thursday night. Following a two-point effort versus the Stars, Granlund has tallied […]

Cam Thomas Probable On Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (back) is probable for Friday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. The 2021 No. 27 overall pick is having the best year of his career, averaging 24.6 points and 39.2% shooting from deep. Unfortunately, he experienced back tightness before Tuesday's NBA Cup win over the Charlotte Hornets. With Thomas sidelined for […]
