Lonnie Walker IV Out On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) won't feature against the Magic on Saturday. He will miss his second contest of the campaign due to a left hamstring strain. Walker IV's absence means Brooklyn will be without their fourth-best scorer. The 24-year-old has been among the league's most prolific bench players this season with a […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Probable For Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) will likely return to the lineup Saturday versus the Magic, as the team has listed him as probable for the game.

NFL Rookies to Watch in Week 13: Fantasy Football Dynasty and Redraft Leagues

As we begin December, we should be prepared to see some breakout stretches from rookies across the NFL. One of the most notable late-season developments last year was the emergence of quarterback Brock Purdy, who was the league's QB9 over the final six weeks. In 2021, a first-year Amon-Ra St. Brown dominated defenses on his […]

Nick Richards Could Return On Saturday

Charlotte Hornets center Nick Richards (concussion) could be back from a six-game absence Saturday versus Minnesota. He's been listed as questionable for the contest. Richards, who has performed well as Mark Williams' backup at center, would give the Hornets much-needed help against Minnesota's powerful frontcourt. The Kentucky product has averaged 8.5 points and 5.9 rebounds […]

Panthers Defense Tough To Trust In Week 13

The Carolina Panthers D/ST allowed 17 points and notched one sack in a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans. They will now head on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13.

Eddy Pineiro A Low-End Option In Week 13

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro made his lone field goal and added an extra point in a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Pineiro will look to get more involved in Week 13's road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay is allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers […]

Matt Gay - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Top-12 ANALYSIS: Matt Gay has provided fantasy managers with reliable, though perhaps not week-winning, production this season.

D.J. Chark Jr. A Low-End Flex In Week 13

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. is coming off a three-catch, 34-yard outing in a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He will look to post a big game in Week 13 against a Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense that is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this year. Chark […]

Deebo Samuel - Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks for Week 13

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: On nine targets in Week 12, San Francisco 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel caught seven of them and had 79 yards and a score on the ground against the Seattle Seahawks. It was good to see Samuel get into the end zone as that is […]

From the time Ronald Acuna Jr. burst onto the MLB scene in 2018 as a 20-year-old, he's shown that he had all the tools needed to put together an MVP-caliber season. In 2023, he finally was able to put it all together in order to bring home his first NL MVP award in unanimous fashion. […]

Jonathan Mingo A Flex Option In Week 13

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jonathan Mingo is coming off one of his better games of the season as he caught four passes for 60 yards in a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans. He will look to stay hot in Week 13's road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay has been generous […]

Adam Thielen Looking To Shake Off Slow Outing Last Week

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen caught just one of his three targets for two yards in a Week 12 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders will head on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13.

Chuba Hubbard A Flex Option In Week 13

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard is coming off a productive game in which he scored a touchdown and also caught five passes for 47 yards. He will look to stay hot in Week 13's road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tampa Bay's defense has been much better against the run than the pass […]

Bryce Young A Low-End QB2 In Week 13

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young has failed to throw for more than one touchdown in a game since Week 5 against the Detroit Lions. He will look to break that streak in Week 13's road matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It has been a disappointing rookie season for Young, who has just nine touchdowns […]

San Francisco 49ers D/ST A Risky Play In Philadelphia

The San Francisco 49ers D/ST has spent most of the season as a set-and-forget unit thanks to its talented pass rush, strong linebacker corps, and proclivity for forcing turnovers.

Jake Moody A Good Play In Possible Shootout

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody continued his redemption tour on Thanksgiving in Seattle last week.

Moody has put his struggles behind him since then, hitting all six of his opportunities, albeit with no attempts […]

George Kittle A Top-Two Option In Week 13

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has been an extremely volatile fantasy asset this year, offering week-winning performances in four of his outings, but scoring fewer than five 0.5 PPR points in five different games. In Week 12, he cooled off after three straight hot ones, catching just three balls on five targets for […]

Deebo Samuel Sneaks Into Top 12 Versus Philadelphia

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel's usage in the passing game spiked last week in a 31-13 win at the Seattle Seahawks.
