2023-2024 Fantasy Basketball: Five Players With Bust Potential

Every NBA fantasy season, numerous players are at the top of everyone's draft boards. This could be because of offseason hype, last year's production, or purely potential.

Cole Perfetti Under Evaluation After Taking Hit To The Head

Winnipeg Jets center Cole Perfetti is getting evaluated for an upper-body injury after taking a hit to the head in Wednesday's preseason game against Calgary.

The Fantasy Football Pie Shop, Week 4 (2023)

You win some, you lose some, and you can’t win them all. That’s the mentality I have heading into a redemption week for the Pie Shop. Last week, Dameon Pierce was our only correct selection. Ironically, he was probably the player I was least confident in. However, with Josh Jacobs, Alexander Mattison, and A.J. Brown […]

Mike Matheson Misses Wednesday's Preseason Game With Injury

Montreal Canadiens defenseman Mike Matheson sat out Wednesday's preseason clash versus Ottawa with a lower-body injury. Matheson had a stop-start campaign in 2022-23 due to health issues, so it's definitely a worry that he's dealing with another issue, but according to head coach Martin St. Louis, Matheson would have played if it had been a […]

Roope Hintz Unavailable Due To An Upper-Body Injury

Dallas Stars center Roope Hintz missed Wednesday's practice with an upper-body problem. According to head coach Pete DeBoer, Hintz is "dealing with something" with his upper body.

Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Zach Whitecloud is troubled by an undisclosed injury and isn't expected to see the ice for the rest of the week.
