Isaiah Stewart Uncertain To Suit Up On Friday

Detroit Pistons center Isaiah Stewart (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for the team's Friday night contest against the New Orleans Pelicans. He's already missed the last games and could miss his third in a row. If he needs to miss more time, Nerlens Noel would likely stay in the starting five since Jalen Duren […]

Myles Turner Questionable With Back Spasms On Friday

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (back) has been tagged as questionable against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday with back spasms. The 26-year-old was unable to suit up for the team's last contest on Wednesday for the same reason. If he has to miss a second game, Jalen Smith will see an increase in usage with […]

Nikola Jokic Won't Suit Up On Friday Versus Clippers

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) has been officially ruled out on Friday due to a right wrist issue. The injury doesn't seem to be serious as it's listed as injury management, so it sounds like more of a rest day. Either way, the Nuggets will have to fill his minutes with some sort of […]

Tyrese Haliburton Will Miss At Least Two Weeks

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (knee, elbow) will be re-evaluated in the next two weeks after being diagnosed with a left elbow sprain and mild left knee contusion. The 22-year-old was in the middle of his best season yet and has consistently been in the top 10 for category formats this year. He likely won't […]

Lamar Jackson Officially Out Versus Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (knee) has officially been ruled out for the Wild Card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Jackson missed each of the Ravens' final five games and despite speculation that he'd return in the playoffs, he won't suit up in the opening round. Tyler Huntley (shoulder/wrist) was a full participant in practice […]

Clint Capela Will Remain Sidelined On Friday

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (calf) will miss his ninth consecutive game due to the same calf strain. Throughout this time that he's been absent, Onyeka Okongwu has filled in and has averaged 10.9 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game. There still isn't a timetable for Capela's return so […]

Gus Edwards Clears Concussion Protocol

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has cleared the concussion protocol, so he will play in Sunday night's wild-card game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Edwards has rushed 87 times for 433 yards and three touchdowns this season in nine games played but has not caught a pass on two total targets. The Bengals have allowed […]

Dylan Cease To Earn $5.7 Million In 2023

The Chicago White Sox and starting pitcher Dylan Cease avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $5.7 million deal. Cease finished up his fourth season with the White Sox with a 14-8 record, career-low 2.20 ERA (3.10 FIP), 1.11 WHIP and 30.4 percent strikeout rate in a career-high 184 innings over 32 […]

Phillies Settle With Rhys Hoskins Friday

The Philadelphia Phillies and first baseman Rhys Hoskins avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $12 million deal on Friday, according to sources. In an even more formidable Phillies lineup heading into 2023 with the addition of superstar shortstop Trea Turner, Hoskins will be more attractive in fantasy in the heart of Philly's lineup. […]

Juan Soto Avoids Arbitration At $23 Million

The San Diego Padres and outfielder Juan Soto avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $23 million deal, according to sources. The Padres swung a blockbuster trade to acquire Soto and first baseman Josh Bell from the Washington Nationals at last year's trade deadline. The two-time All-Star disappointed in 52 games to […]

Will Smith Avoids Salary Arbitration

The Los Angeles Dodgers and catcher Will Smith avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $5.25 million deal, according to sources. Smith had another very strong year as the Dodgers' primary catcher in 2022, slashing .260/.343/.465 with an .807 OPS, 24 home runs, a career-high 87 RBI, 68 runs scored and a […]

Greg Joseph An Uninspiring Single-Game DFS Play

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph could be used as a cheap option to afford Kirk Cousins-Justin Jefferson-T.J. Hockenson stacks in single-game DFS contests, but no one feels great about playing a kicker with money on the line. Joseph finished tied for 16th in fantasy points per game during the regular season, so there's no huge […]

Cardinals, Jordan Montgomery Settle At $10 Million

The St. Louis Cardinals and left-hander Jordan Montgomery avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $10 million deal, according to a source. Montgomery came to St. Louis at last year's trade deadline from the New York Yankees. He had a combined 9-6 record with a 3.48 ERA (3.61 FIP), 1.09 WHIP and […]

Vikings Defense Not A Strong DFS Option

The Minnesota Vikings defense has allowed the second-most total yards per game this season (388.7), so its fantasy defense/special teams isn't worth much consideration on the six-game wild-card slate. Minnesota's defense is the fifth-most expensive unit this weekend, despite the matchup with the competent New York Giants' offense in round one of the NFL playoffs. […]

Adam Thielen A Touchdown-Or-Bust DFS Play

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has totaled just seven receptions in his last four games, so he's an uninspiring DFS play for the Wild Card game against the New York Giants. Pass-catchers Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, and K.J. Osborn have all had massive boom weeks in the latter part of the regular season, but […]

Mets Considering Tommy Pham

With outfielder Andrew McCutchen returning to the Pittsburgh Pirates, the New York Mets are now considering free-agent outfielder Tommy Pham as their fourth outfielder, among others. Trey Mancini, Adam Duvall, Jurickson Profar and Tyler Naquin are other possibilities that remain on the open market. Pham became a free agent this offseason when the Boston Red […]

T.J. Hockenson Has Huge Upside Versus Giants

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 86 passes for 914 yards and six touchdowns during his 2022 campaign, but one of his two massive performances came against the New York Giants in Week 16. In that game, Hockenson caught 13 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns, scoring 38.9 DraftKings points. Earlier in the […]

Cedric Mullins Avoids Arbitration

The Baltimore Orioles and outfielder Cedric Mullins avoided salary arbitration on Friday by agreeing to a one-year, $4.1 million deal. Mullins was a first-time All-Star for the O's in 2021 in his fourth big-league season, but he wasn't nearly as good in 2022, hitting .258/.318/.403 with a .721 OPS, 16 home runs, 64 RBI, 89 […]

K.J. Osborn A Bargain DFS Choice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn caught 60 passes for 650 yards and five touchdowns during the 2022 regular season as one of the best No. 3 wide receivers in the NFL. He has saved his best performances for late in the season, posting at least 14.8 DraftKings points in four of his last five […]

Andrew McCutchen Returns To Pirates

The Pittsburgh Pirates signed free-agent outfielder Andrew McCutchen to a one-year deal worth $5 million on Friday, according to a source. McCutchen spent the nine years of his big-league career in Pittsburgh and was an All-Star with them for five straight seasons from 2011-15. He won the National League MVP in 2013. The 36-year-old is […]

Lane Johnson Back At Practice

Philadelphia Eagles Pro Bowl right tackle Lane Johnson (abdomen) was spotted at the team's practice on Friday. He hasn't played since Week 16 when tests showed a torn tendon in his abdominal area, but he appears to be on track to return for the Divisional Round of the postseason next weekend. The 32-year-old decided to […]

Welcome back to another League of Legends DFS fantasy slate, the first regular season slate of 2023! After an amazing Worlds event with DRX taking down T1 in a five-game final, we got a nice break to celebrate the holidays and prepare for another year of LoL DFS. I hope everyone had a holiday season […]

Evan Neal Expected To Play Through Injury

New York Giants offensive tackle Evan Neal (ankle) suffered what is considered to be a minor ankle injury in practice on Thursday, according to source. However, it should not affect his availability to play in the wild-card game on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. Neal was listed as limited in Thursday's session after getting hurt. […]

Mike Williams Out 2-3 Weeks With Back Fracture

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) suffered a small non-surgical fracture in his back in the Week 18 regular season finale that is expected to keep him out for the next two to three weeks, according to sources. It means that barring a Chargers Super Bowl run, Williams' season is likely over. Head […]

Tua Tagovailoa Hasn't Progressed In Concussion Protocol

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that as of Friday, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has not advanced to the on-field football activity portion of the league's concussion protocols. He was already ruled out for this weekend's game against the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, the Dolphins are optimistic that Teddy Bridgewater (pinkie) will be active as […]

Dalvin Cook Likely Not Worth DFS Price Tag

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook rushed for 1,173 yards this season, but he only surpassed 100 rushing yards in two of his 17 games played this season. In six games, he failed to reach 50 rushing yards. Ultimately, his ceiling hasn't been what it once was during his stellar career and for running backs […]

Skylar Thompson To Start Against Bills

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson will officially get the start in the wild-card contest on Sunday against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. It's not exactly in idea scenario for a rookie to make his third career start on the road in a hostile environment in the postseason. Tua Tagovailoa […]

Mike Williams Ruled Out For Wild-Card Game

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (back) has been ruled out for the wild-card game on Saturday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Williams didn't practice at all this week and was listed as questionable on the final injury report on Thursday, but he has since been downgraded to out. Head coach Brandon Staley curiously played […]

Kirk Cousins A Solid Full-Slate DFS Option

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins has been known to have a high ceiling and low floor throughout his NFL career, and 2022 has been no different. The veteran quarterback has six games over 22.5 DraftKings points, but he's failed to reach 13.1 DraftKings points in five games this season. Since DFS is the focus here, […]
