Ronny Mauricio To Have Surgery Soon

New York Mets rookie infielder Ronny Mauricio (knee) will have surgery to fix a torn ACL in his knee shortly after New Year's Day, according to a league source. The 22-year-old is in good spirits after injuring his right knee on Dec. 10 while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic. He was expected to […]

Markelle Fultz Uncertain For Tuesday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The former top pick was tagged as questionable going into their last game and eventually sat out. Fultz has missed nearly two months of action due to left knee tendinitis. The expectation is he'll be under […]

Joe Ingles To Remain Out On Tuesday

Orlando Magic forward Joe Ingles (ankle) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. This marks the ninth game in a row that Ingles has missed due to a left ankle sprain. To be fair, the veteran forward wasn't bringing a ton to the table when healthy. Fantasy managers should expect the […]

Starling Marte Likely To Play Winter Ball

After missing significant time in 2023, New York Mets outfielder Starling Marte (groin) is likely to play winter ball in the Dominican Republic after New Year's Day, according to people briefed on the matter. However, nothing has been firmly established regarding Marte's offseason plans, and it's unclear how much action he'll see if he actually […]

Joel Embiid To Play On Tuesday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The superstar big man has missed each of the last four games due to a right ankle sprain. Luckily, it appears the reigning MVP is ready to get back on the court. There is […]

Robert Suarez The Projected Closer In 2024

San Diego Padres right-handed reliever Robert Suarez is the team's projected closer in 2024 with Josh Hader and Nick Martinez leaving via free agency. Suarez will automatically have more fantasy appeal in a closing role, but he didn't help his stock much during a 2023 campaign that saw him deal with injury and ineffectiveness while […]

OG Anunoby Looks Strong In Team Debut

New York Knicks forward OG Anunoby made his team debut during Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. It looks like the Knicks got exactly what they needed as Anunoby displayed a strong defensive ability with reliable catch-and-shoot accuracy. He finished Monday's game with 17 points, six rebounds, and one assist with three 3-pointers in the […]

Padres Prefer To Keep Fernando Tatis Jr. In Right Field

The San Diego Padres would like to keep outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr.'s Platinum Glove in right field in 2024, but they haven't ruled out the possibility of moving him over to center field after trading both Juan Soto and Trent Grisham to the New York Yankees this offseason. Most of the potential outfield trade candidates […]

Josh Richardson Won't Play Against The Clippers

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (back) remains out on Monday night against the Los Angeles Clippers. Richardson has missed the last three games because of back spasms. However, he hasn't been a reliable fantasy contributor this season, so his absence won't impact nearly as many fantasy managers. But with Jimmy Butler (foot) and Caleb Martin […]

Manny Machado May Not Play Defense Until Late March

San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado (elbow) is recovering from right-elbow extensor tendon repair surgery in early October and might not be ready to play defense by late March. It means that Machado might have to serve as the team's primary designated hitter to open the 2024 regular season. If that's the case, Gold […]

Kawhi Leonard Will Suit Up Versus Miami

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard (hip) will play on Monday against the Miami Heat. The 32-year-old has had another productive season, averaging 24.4 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.5 steals. Unfortunately, he missed the Clippers' previous four games because of a hip contusion. However, he's practiced fully over the last few days, so he's good […]

Luis Campusano To Take Over As Primary Catcher

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano is poised to take over as the team's primary catcher in 2024. However, the 25-year-old backstop needs to stay healthy after being limited to 49 games in 2023. Campusano had an .847 OPS in his 49 games. No other Padres catcher has had an .800 OPS over at least […]

Caleb Martin Remains Sidelined Versus The Clippers

Miami Heat forward Caleb Martin (ankle) remains out for Monday's battle with the Los Angeles Clippers. The 28-year-old has averaged a career-high 11.0 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.2 steals this season. Unfortunately, he's battled various injuries, so his time on the floor has been limited during the 2023-24 campaign. The Heat could have […]

Kyle Lowry Back On Monday Evening

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (head) will play on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Lowry hasn't been as productive this season, averaging 9.4 points, his lowest in years. But with Jimmy Butler (foot), Josh Richardson (back), and Caleb Martin (ankle) out, Lowry could see an uptick in production. Unfortunately, he's still a risky fantasy […]

Mark Williams Out Again On Monday

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) won't return for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. The 22-year-old hasn't played in weeks because of a back issue. At this rate, nobody can say when he'll be back on the court. However, until then, Nick Richards will continue to handle things underneath the rim. Richards has averaged […]

Terry Rozier Ruled Out Against Denver

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (illness) won't play on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. He's not feeling well and had been listed as questionable leading up to this one. However, he'll get the night off, so his next chance to return will be on Tuesday in Sacramento. The Hornets are down some of their other […]

Wander Franco Arrested In Dominican Republic

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco was arrested in the Dominican Republic on Monday for no-showing at his meeting last Thursday with the prosecutor who is investigating him for alleged relationships with underaged girls, according to sources. The arrest was because Franco did not show up to his summons and not because there has been […]

Kyrie Irving Will Suit Up On Monday Versus Jazz

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) hasn't played since December 8 after suffering a right heel contusion. He was then listed as questionable on Monday for their game against the Utah Jazz but has been upgraded to active. Jaden Hardy will likely take the biggest fantasy hit after getting moved back to the bench from […]

Khalil Shakir Has Five Touches Against Patriots

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir saw one rushing attempt for a gain of 10 yards and caught all four of his targets in the passing game for 39 yards in the team's Week 17 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday. The 23-year-old does have some explosive abilities with the ball in his […]

Luka Doncic Upgraded To Active On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) will reportedly play on Monday night against the Utah Jazz. He was originally listed as questionable with left quad soreness, but the good news for the Mavericks and fantasy managers is that he'll end up playing. The MVP candidate was able to play through the quad soreness on Saturday […]

Treylon Burks Posts 11 Yards In Week 17 Loss

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks continued to do very little in Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 17. Burks finished the contest with two catches on his three targets for 11 yards in a game in which rookie quarterback Will Levis (foot) was injured early and never returned. The only good […]

Toumani Camara Downgraded To Out Against Suns

Portland Trail Blazers forward Toumani Camara (knee) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Monday night. This will be the rookie's first missed game of the season after being able to play through his previous ailments. It seems like the team isn't going to risk anything with his knee soreness, especially after showing some […]

Kenneth Gainwell Has Six Touches In Upset Loss

Philadelphia Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell had a quiet game in the 35-31 upset loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 17. He finished the Week 17 contest with only two carries for five yards while catching all four of his targets in the passing game for 15 yards. It came despite playing a team-high […]

Shaedon Sharpe Upgraded To Active With Minute Restriction

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (groin) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. According to head coach Chauncey Billups, Sharpe will be on a minute restriction in this game. Fantasy managers depending on Sharpe will want to temper expectations after Billups didn't specify how many minutes he'll […]

Logan Thomas Catches Three Passes In Week 17

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas caught three of his four targets for just 20 yards in the team's 27-10 Week 17 loss to the visiting San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Thomas and the rest of the Commanders' offense weren't really able to get anything going in a bad matchup against one of the better […]

Kevin Durant Will Not Play On Monday Versus Trail Blazers

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) was ruled out for their Monday night contest against the Portland Trail Blazers as he deals with right hamstring soreness. This could just be due to this being the second half of a back-to-back against an easier opponent, however, fantasy managers will want to monitor this because hamstring issues […]

Rams Bringing Back Brett Maher

The Los Angeles Rams are signing veteran kicker Brett Maher on Monday after waiving rookie Lucas Havrisik earlier in the day. Maher began the year as the Rams' kicker and played in the first seven weeks before getting cut on Oct. 24, going 17-for-23 (73.9 percent) on his field-goal opportunities and 12-for-13 with his extra […]

Aaron Gordon Expected To Be Active On Monday

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (dog bite) was originally listed as questionable heading into the team's Monday night game against the Charlotte Hornets. Head coach Michael Malone said that the plan is for Gordon to suit up and play. According to Katy Winge of AltitudeTV, he'll likely wrap his hand so that he doesn't ruin […]
