Kyrie Irving Tagged As Doubtful Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Thursday's 118-110 loss to Minnesota marked the 11th consecutive game Irving has missed, and his return on Saturday appears unlikely, but the fact that Irving is now carrying a doubtful tag is a sign that he could be […]

Lions vs. Cowboys NFL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel, DraftKings - Saturday Night Showdown Slate (Week 17)

Welcome back and happy Saturday, RotoBallers! We have a matchup between two NFC playoff teams, as Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions (11-4) head to "Jerry World" to take on Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys (10-5).  We've been pretty successful so far with these showdown slates in previous years, and hopefully, that trend continues […]

Justice Hill A Desperation Flex Option In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill ended up as the No. 1 back in Week 16 because the game script allowed for it. Hill has always been the one to get more of the passing-down work over Gus Edwards. The issue is that Hill has only scored one touchdown all season, and the last time […]

Lions vs. Cowboys Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, David Montgomery, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, Dak Prescott, more

Luka Doncic Questionable For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (quadriceps) is considered questionable for Saturday's juicy matchup against Golden State. Doncic missed the previous game against Minnesota as Dallas completed a back-to-back. He should be available again, but we won't know for sure until he's officially declared available for the game. Jaden Hardy had a decent 17-point outing […]

Josh Richardson Could Be Out For A Third Consecutive Game

Miami Heat shooting guard Josh Richardson (back) is questionable to face the Utah Jazz on Saturday. He's in danger of missing a third consecutive game as Richardson battles a lower back issue.

Chig Okonkwo - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1 ANALYSIS: The Tennessee Titans have nothing but pride left to play for as they've been eliminated from the playoffs. But they can play the spoiler role this week if they were to upset their division rival Houston Texans on the road. The uber-talented and ultra-athletic […]

Caleb Martin Doubtful For Saturday's Action

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) looks set to miss a second consecutive game, with the team listing him as doubtful for a clash with the Jazz on Saturday. Martin sprained his right ankle in Monday's Christmas battle with Philadelphia and was unavailable when the Heat faced Golden State on Thursday. Haywood Highsmith stepped into […]

Kyle Lowry Listed As Questionable Saturday

Miami Heat point guard Kyle Lowry (soreness) has been tagged questionable for Saturday's encounter with Utah. He could be out for a second consecutive game after already missing Thursday's matchup with Golden State due to general soreness. R.J. Hampton was lifted into the starting unit as Lowry's replacement. He didn't do a lot in 25 […]

Panthers Defense A Sneaky Option In Week 17

The Carolina Panthers defense struggled in a loss to the Green Bay Packers last week as they allowed 33 points while picking up just one sack and failing to force any turnovers. They will look to bounce back in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17. Normally the Panthers would not be […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Battling An Illness, Could Be Out Saturday

Miami Heat small forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (illness) could sit out Saturday's meeting with the Jazz, as the team considers him questionable for the game. Miami's rookie sensation has picked up an illness bug and will sit out his first game of the season if he can't play on Saturday. Jaquez Jr. has seemingly improved […]

Eddy Pineiro A Low-End Option In Week 17

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made his lone field goal and hit one of his three extra points in a loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Pineiro has now made 25 of his 29 field goals and 17 of 20 extra points for the Panthers in 2023. In Week 17 he will […]

Brandon Aubrey - Week 17 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in All Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-3 Kicker ANALYSIS: The Cowboys' rookie kicker continues to be perfect on the season, connecting on all 33 of his field goal attempts through the first 16 weeks. He's 42 for 45 on extra points, too. With the Cowboys having a pretty prolific offense this year, Aubrey […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (calf) is considered questionable for Saturday's clash against Utah. He's been unavailable for four games with a left calf strain. Butler's return would have a big impact on a number of players, as he has a 25.5 percent usage rate for the season. If Butler can't make it back, he […]

Tommy Tremble A TE3 In Week 17

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble finished third on his team with four catches and 59 receiving yards in a loss to the Green Bay Packers last week. Tremble popped up on the injury report this week with a back issue but he was able to practice fully all week and is listed without an […]

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. exploded for six catches, 98 yards, and two touchdowns in a loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 16.

Jonathan Mingo Not A Recommended Option In Week 17

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo drew just one target last week in a loss to the Green Bay Packers. The single-target game broke a streak of six straight games with at least five targets for the rookie wideout. Mingo will look to bounce back against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 17. […]

Adam Thielen A WR3 In Week 17

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen hauled in six of eight targets for 94 yards in a Week 16 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He will look to keep it going against the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road in Week 17. The Jaguars have been generous to opposing receivers in 2023 as they are […]
