Bruce Brown Won't Play On Thursday

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Brown is set to miss his third game in a row due to right knee inflammation. The absence of Brown should mean more playing time for Gradey Dick. Surprisingly, Dick has been playing well and is worth […]

Paul Reed Back In Starting Five Wednesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Paul Reed will return to the starting five on Wednesday versus Memphis. Reed has been Philadelphia's main starting center since Joel Embiid (knee) dropped out of the lineup, but 76ers head coach Nick Nurse had preferred to run Mo Bamba with the starters in the previous three games. Bamba hasn't done much […]

Dean Wade Promoted To Starting Unit Wednesday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dean Wade will join the starting lineup for Wednesday's battle against Atlanta. He's taking over from Evan Mobley (ankle), who was injured on Tuesday against Boston. Wade did an admirable job as Mobley's replacement on Tuesday and had a career-high 23 points as Cleveland snapped the Celtics' 11-game winning streak with a […]

Commanders Offensive Line Is In Flux

Since the Washington Commanders will most likely address their quarterback need in the upcoming NFL draft with the second overall pick, The Athletic's Ben Standig believes the team's biggest offseason need is on the offensive line. It's good news that Washington has the league's most salary cap space and six picks in the top 102 […]

Titans Need To Improve Their Offensive Line

The Athletic's Joe Rexrode highlights the offensive line as the Tennessee Titans' biggest 2024 offseason need, specifically at left tackle, which has been a disaster zone the last two years after Taylor Lewan hung up his cleats. The Titans also could really use a new right tackle and center as well, and they need to […]

Jaren Jackson Jr. Returns To Action Versus Philadelphia

Memphis Grizzlies forward/center Jaren Jackson Jr. (quadriceps) has been cleared to return to action against the 76ers on Wednesday. He'll get back to work after sitting out three games with a right quadriceps issue. Jackson Jr.'s return is set to push Trey Jemison back to the bench, where his fantasy value will be non-existent. Meanwhile, […]

Andre Dillard Could Be Cut By Titans

The Athletic's Joe Rexrode lists Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Andrew Dillard as a potential salary cap casualty this offseason. Dillard's $10.7 million cap hit breaks down as $7.8 million in dead money and $2.9 million in cap savings, but it's more about performance than cap relief here. The Titans rank near the top of the […]

Corey Kispert Starting On Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard/forward Corey Kispert will be in the starting five for Wednesday's matchup against the Magic. He's replacing Marvin Bagley III (back) in the first unit. This will be only the third start of the year for Kispert. He's previously put up 15.0 points in 30.5 minutes as a starter, grabbing 2.0 rebounds and […]

Horse For The Course: PGA DFS Course History - 2024 Arnold Palmer Invitational

A soggy West Coast Swing gave way to the newly-named Cognizant Classic, which was also impacted by inclement weather -- apparently unbeknownst to the PGA Tour powers that be -- during its final round. As of this writing, Erik Van Rooyen clings to a slim lead thanks to a blistering final-round performance that included an […]

Buccaneers Have Glaring Need At Edge Rusher

Outside of quarterback and linebacker -- quarterback Baker Mayfield and linebackers Lavonte David and Devin White are free agents -- The Athletic's Dan Pompei writes that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' most glaring offseason need in 2024 is probably at edge rusher, especially with the team planning to release Shaquil Barrett. Tampa hit on rookie defensive […]

Russell Gage A Cut Candidate

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed wide receiver Russell Gage (knee) to a three-year, $30 million deal in 2022 to give then-quarterback Tom Brady another weapon, but he has struggled to stay on the field ever since due to injuries. Gage took a pay cut last offseason and then missed all of 2023 after tearing his […]

Linebacker A Big Offseason Need For Seahawks

The Athletic's Mike Sando writes that the linebacker position will be a priority for new Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald this offseason to upgrade as the team looks to fortify their defense down the middle on both sides of the ball. Bobby Wagner has presumably played his final snap with Seattle with the organization […]

Bills, Von Miller Agree To Renegotiated Contract

The Buffalo Bills and pass-rusher Von Miller agreed to a renegotiated contract on Wednesday, according to a source. The new deal has a base value of $8.855 million in 2024, with the chance for Miller to make up to $20 million with incentives (up from $17.5 million under the old deal). The restructure saves the […]

Anthony Black Moves To First Unit Wednesday

Orlando Magic guard Anthony Black will move back into the starting five for Wednesday's encounter with Washington. He's filling in for veteran Gary Harris (calf), who's getting the night off. Black will make his 32nd career start. The 20-year-old rookie has previously averaged 5.0 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 21.6 minutes as a […]

Mitch Trubisky In Talks With Bills

The Buffalo Bills and former quarterback Mitch Trubisky are in talks to reunite, according to a source. Trubisky was released by the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, so he's free to sign with any team before free agency officially starts next week. The 29-year-old former second overall pick by the Chicago Bears in 2017 out of […]

Wendell Carter Jr. Ruled Out For Wednesday's Game

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (knee) won't play on Wednesday versus Washington. He was a late addition to the injury report with right knee soreness and has now been ruled out. Goga Bitadze is starting in his place. The Georgian giant has previously averaged 7.6 points and 7.3 rebounds in 23.8 minutes as a […]

Nolan Jones Dealing With Back Tightness, Expects To Play Thursday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Nolan Jones (back) was removed from Wednesday's Cactus League game early against the Texas Rangers as a precaution due to lower-back tightness, but Jones said he's fine and expects to be back in the lineup on Thursday versus the Kansas City Royals. The 25-year-old should be considered a high-end No. 2 fantasy […]

C.J. Cron Signs With Red Sox: Fantasy Baseball Outlook

Free agent C.J. Cron signed a minor league contract with the Boston Red Sox on March 1, and the veteran first baseman is expected to compete for a roster spot this spring. It will be the sixth club Cron has played for since he was called up with the Los Angeles Angels back in 2014, […]

De'Andre Hunter Cleared For Wednesday's Game

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) will play Wednesday against Cleveland. This marks the first time Hunter will be available for both games of a back-to-back since he returned from a right knee injury. The 26-year-old was among the team's leading scorers with 22 points in 25 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over […]

Bennedict Mathurin Ruled Out For Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Bennedict Mathurin (shoulder) won't take the court Thursday against the Timberwolves. He has been ruled out with a right shoulder sprain. Mathurin has previously been dealing with a foot issue, so the 21-year-old appears to be quite a bit bang up entering the final stretch of the season. Ben Sheppard is poised […]

Doug McDermott To Remain Out On Thursday

Indiana Pacers forward Doug McDermott (calf) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Thursday against Minnesota. The 32-year-old sharpshooter is trying to recover from a right calf strain. The Pacers miss McDermott's ability to stretch the floor, but his return to Indianapolis hasn't gone well. McDermott has been limited to only 3.2 points […]

Top Contenders To Be The Next New England Patriots Starting Quarterback

The New England Patriots have fallen since their days as consistent Super Bowl contenders under Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. Last year, the Patriots finished last in the AFC East division with a 4-13 record, leading to multiple changes in the organization. One of those changes will be at the quarterback position. Mac Jones has […]

Jeff Green Sits Out Wednesday's Game

Houston Rockets forward/center Jeff Green (knee) won't be in the lineup as the team completes a back-to-back set against the Clippers on Wednesday. The veteran has come through previous back-to-backs with no issues, but left knee pain will end his run of 19 consecutive appearances. Green logged only six minutes against San Antonio on Tuesday […]

De'Anthony Melton To Be Re-Evaluated In Two Weeks

Philadelphia 76ers guard De'Anthony Melton (back) will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 25-year-old has averaged a career-high 11.5 points this season. But considering the nature of his injury, there's a chance he may not play again during the 2023-24 campaign. Additionally, the 76ers' roster looks slightly different, so Melton could have a tough time […]

Jabari Smith Jr. Good To Go Wednesday

Houston Rockets forward/center Jabari Smith Jr. (illness) will play on Wednesday against the Clippers. The talented Auburn product has been battling an illness and initially landed on the injury report with a questionable tag, but he has been upgraded to available. However, how effective Smith Jr. can be remains to be seen. He already struggled […]

Mike Zunino Announces Retirement

Free-agent catcher Mike Zunino has retired from professional baseball. Known for both his prodigious power and big-time strikeout rates, the 32-year-old spent the 2023 season with the Cleveland Guardians but struggled to a .177 average with just three homers in 42 games before being designated for assignment to pave the way for the catcher of […]

Cam Thomas Still Sidelined Against Detroit

Brooklyn Nets guard Cam Thomas (ankle, foot) won't play on Thursday against Detroit. Thomas has had a career-year, averaging 20.9 points. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the 22-year-old has missed 14 games. With no end in sight, he could remain off the floor for Brooklyn's upcoming games versus Charlotte and Cleveland. Cameron Johnson (ankle) also won't […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Won't Play On Thursday

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Indiana. The four-time All-Star misses a dream fantasy matchup with left knee soreness. Minnesota starts a back-to-back on Thursday, so it's possible the team is simply resting Towns. With him out, Naz Reid will become a popular man in all fantasy […]
