Taylor Heinicke Remains Limited Again

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) was once again a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This now back-to-back days that Heinicke was been limited during practice. At the moment, fantasy managers should consider Heinicke as questionable for Week 18 against the New Orleans Saints. The veteran signal-caller was horrendous last week. Heinicke threw three […]

Boston Red Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has a plan to fix what has plagued him on the mound for the better part of the last two years and is eager to work alongside Red Sox pitching coach Andrew Bailey in 2024. It didn't help that Giolito spent time with three teams -- the Cleveland Guardians, […]

Gary Harris Ruled Out For Friday

Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This doesn't come as a shock after Harris left after only 12 minutes during Wednesday's game due to a calf strain. That resulted in Trevelin Queen and Anthony Black having bigger roles in the rotation. Black has […]

Zach LaVine Questionable For Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets.

Free-agent left-hander Blake Snell has privately expressed interest in playing for the New York Yankees, according to SNY's Andy Martino. At the moment, Snell seems a more likely fit in New York than Jordan Montgomery, with whom they have also talked.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee, wrist) won't return to Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. For the first time this season, Middleton played in both games of the back-to-back set. However, the Bucks decided to shut him down for the second half of Thursday's game. His removal seems like it was precautionary, so […]

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony (quad) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. This is great news after Anthony sat out Wednesday's double-overtime loss to the Sacramento Kings. There is no word of Anthony being limited, so the expectation is that he'll be fully ready to go. […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1 ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a solid fantasy football quarterback this season.

D'Angelo Russell Doubtful For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers guard D'Angelo Russell (tailbone) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) is currently listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Unsurprisingly, James is back on the injury report, but this time with an ankle injury. The superstar forward was able to play through an illness on Wednesday.

NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Week 18 Daily Fantasy Football Picks

Week 18 is insane because we know very little about who is going to play and what is going to happen; even more than usual. There are teams with something to play for but everyone knows that and they will carry the highest ownership. That’s not to say that we shouldn’t look at teams like […]

Will Levis Returns To Limited Practice

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice after being listed as a non-participant on Wednesday. Levis missed the Week 16 game with an ankle sprain, only to return in last week's loss to the Houston Texans while injuring his right foot early in the game. It's not an overly serious […]

Tyler Lockett Added To Week 18 Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (toe) was added to the Week 18 injury report on Thursday but he managed to practice in full. It's something worth watching, but it doesn't appear to be anything that will compromise Lockett from playing in a must-win Week 18 regular season meeting with the Arizona Cardinals. The 31-year-old […]

Kenneth Walker III Returns To Limited Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (shoulder) returned to a limited practice session on Thursday after he was listed as a non-participant in the first practice of the week on Wednesday.

Travis Kelce Stays Limited In Practice

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (neck) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week.

Cowboys Defense Looks For A Strong Finish In Week 18

The Dallas Cowboys defense will look for a strong finish to the regular season in a Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

Isiah Pacheco Returns To Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (quadriceps, shoulder) was back on the practice field on Thursday and put in a limited session after he was a non-participant on Wednesday. Pacheco's injuries don't appear to be too serious, however, he'll be a candidate to be rested in the Week 18 regular season finale against the […]

Brandon Aubrey A Strong Kicking Option In Week 18 Lineups

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is a solid kicker in a Week 18 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Aubrey has been outstanding all season and has been exceptionally consistent of late, scoring at least eight points without missing a kick in four of his last five games. He should be a top-five option for the […]

Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims Jr. Practicing In Full

It looks as though Denver Broncos wide receivers Courtland Sutton (concussion) and Marvin Mims Jr. (hamstring) will both be returning after one-game absences to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. Both wideouts were upgraded to full participants in practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Sutton […]

Ferguson has seen at least six targets in five games in a row and […]

Josh Allen Still Practicing In Full

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (finger, neck) was a full-go in the team's practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Jake Browning Added To Week 18 Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning (foot) was added to the Week 18 injury report on Thursday but he was still able to practice in full, so it's most likely nothing to worry about heading into a Week 18 regular season matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The Browns have been a shy-away matchup for opposing QBs […]

Brandin Cooks A Touchdown-Dependent Option In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a touchdown-dependent option in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Cooks has had some touchdown luck lately, scoring in three of his past five games, but not piling up much yardage outside of those touchdown catches. He's been a boom-or-bust play most of the season with […]

CeeDee Lamb A Top Receiving Option In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb is one of the top options at wide receiver in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Lamb is the overall WR2 in fantasy heading into the final game of the regular season, leading the league in catches and coming in second in yards and touchdowns. In a […]

Joe Mixon Out Sick Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) sat out of Thursday's practice due to an illness. Mixon should be ready to play by Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns, but with the Bengals already eliminated from postseason contention, the Bengals could choose to give rookie fifth-rounder Chase Brown and Trayveon Williams […]

Tony Pollard Looks To Finish Strong In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard will look for a strong end to the season in a Week 18 game against the Washington Commanders. Pollard has had some solid moments but it's been an overall disappointing season for the Cowboys lead back. Still, the Commanders run defense hasn't done much of anything lately, allowing the […]

Ja'Marr Chase Upgrades To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder) was upgraded to a full practice participant on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Chase missed Week 16 with a separated shoulder but returned for the Week 17 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and caught only three of his seven targets for 41 yards. Even though the […]
