Cole Anthony To Join Starting Five

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. This doesn't come as a surprise considering fellow guard Jalen Suggs (ankle) will be sidelined again. Anthony dropped 25 points during Friday's game. Although, he does have a more difficult matchup against Marcus Smart during this game. Despite […]

DJ Chark Headed To Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions have placed wide receiver DJ Chark (ankle) on Injured Reserve. Chark is dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for the past three weeks. Amon-Ra St. Brown now seems to be fully healthy coming out of the team's Week 6 bye and Josh Reynolds (knee), although questionable to suit […]

Jalen Smith Available For Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward Jalen Smith (knee) has been cleared to suit up for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The 22-year-old exited after only seven minutes due to right knee soreness. Luckily, it sounds like Smith is good to go here and shouldn't be limited during this second game in a back-to-back set. His return […]

Joshua Kelley Placed On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed running back Joshua Kelley (knee) on Injured Reserve, promoting wide receiver Michael Bandy to the active roster in the process. Kelley was seemingly running away with the team's RB2 duties after an impressive showing in Week 5, but unfortunately went down early in Week 6 and will miss at least […]

Noah Vonleh To Start On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Noah Vonleh will draw the start for Saturday's game against the Orlando Magic. Veteran big man Al Horford (back) will sit this one out. That means, Vonleh should see plenty of playing time on Saturday. He could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option for Saturday's slate. Vonleh isn't likely […]

Cameron Johnson Practices On Saturday

Phoenix Suns forward Cameron Johnson (hip) was able to get up shots during practice on Saturday. It sounds like Johnson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The team is likely going to wait and see how his body responds to Saturday's workload. His absence would mean more playing time for Torrey […]

Sammy Watkins Activated, Randall Cobb To Injured Reserve

The Green Bay Packers have activated wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) off of injured reserve ahead of a Week 7 matchup with the Washington Commanders. The veteran is listed as questionable to suit up on Sunday and is expected to be limited if active. With Randall Cobb (ankle) heading to IR and Christian Watson (hamstring) […]

Danton Heinen Set For First-Line Duty Saturday

Pittsburgh Penguins winger Danton Heinen will get a chance to log first-line minutes alongside Sidney Crosby and Rickard Rakell Saturday against Columbus. He will be replacing Jake Guentzel (upper body), who was injured in Thursday's 6-1 win over L.A. and hasn't been able to practice. There were some hopes of Guentzel possibly being able to […]

Evgeny Kuznetsov Returns From Suspension

Washington Capitals center Evgeny Kuznetsov has served a one-game suspension and will be back in the lineup Saturday against the Kings. He was forced to sit out Thursday's 5-2 loss against Ottawa after getting suspended for high-sticking Vancouver's Kyle Burroughs at the start of the week. The Russian centerman had an eventful night against the […]

Chase Briscoe Could Move Up On Sunday

Chase Briscoe may begin just 19th on Sunday at Homestead but could easily move up the track. Briscoe likes the 1.5-mile track and did win in an Xfinity car. The No. 14 Ford was faster in practice runs and that may be a harbinger of things to come. Briscoe stands nine points from the cutoff, […]

Josh Bell Starting Against A Left-Hander

San Diego Padres first baseman Josh Bell is in the starting lineup as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Bailey Falter. Brandon Drury is at first base and batting sixth, with Wil Myers starting on the bench. […]

Denis Gurianov Earns Promotion To Second Line

Dallas Stars winger Denis Gurianov will be rolling with the second line Saturday night against Montreal. The 25-year-old has started the 2022-23 campaign with a four-game scoring drought, but he impressed Thursday against Toronto and now gets a chance to play a bigger role. Ty Dellandrea has previously skated on the second line with Tyler […]

Joey Logano In Middle Of Pack For Homestead

Joey Logano took it a bit easy around Homestead on Saturday and will start Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 from the 17th position. The No. 22 Ford driver has already sealed his spot at Phoenix with a win last week at Las Vegas. Logano has five wins on intermediate tracks in his last 43 races. However, […]

Quinn Hughes A Game-Time Call For Saturday

Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes is dealing with an undisclosed ailment and is regarded as a game-time decision for Saturday's tilt against Buffalo. The tireless blue-liner missed the morning skate and could be forced to take a seat for the first time this season. Hughes' absence would leave a huge hole in the Canucks backline, […]

Denny Hamlin Begins 14th At Dixie Vodka 400

Denny Hamlin felt something during the week like his car just was not that fast. He was right. Hamlin did not advance to the last round of qualifying. As a result, the No. 11 driver will begin 14th. The Joe Gibbs Racing driver stands squarely on the bubble through one race of the third segment. […]

Ryan Blaney Outside The Top 10 For Homestead

Ryan Blaney and most of the Ford cars were just a little bit slower in the earlier rounds of qualifying on Saturday. It cost Blaney a bit as he will start 13th for the Dixie Vodka 400 on Sunday. Blaney did not have the greatest race last week and stands 11 points out of fourth […]

Tyler Reddick Begins Seventh For Sunday's Race

Tyler Reddick did not enjoy the benefit of qualifying at Homestead because of COVID. Despite that, Reddick wound up finishing third not once, but twice. Now that he starts seventh on Sunday, can he win the race? It is a valid question. The No. 8 Chevy has enjoyed Homestead and his tires have tended to […]

Petr Mrazek Misses Saturday's Practice

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Petr Mrazek (groin) wasn't in Saturday's practice after getting hurt in Friday's 4-3 win against Detroit. He exited the game with a groin problem after two periods of play. The Czech netminder didn't have a very good night against his former team, allowing three goals on 18 shots. Alex Stalock had a […]

Kyle Larson Begins Fifth For The Dixie Vodka 400

Kyle Larson starts fifth for the race at Homestead on Sunday. The 1.5-mile course with some high tire wear has been kind to Larson. For the most part, the No. 5 car has done quite well. He has four top five results in his previous six appearances. He even led more than 100 laps twice […]

John H. Nemechek Qualifies Fourth For Sunday

The Toyota cars were quick around the corners again on Saturday as John H. Nemechek turned in the fourth fastest qualifying lap in the final group. Nemechek is racing in place of Bubba Wallace. Wallace was suspended for this week's Dixie Vodka 400 after his incident with Kyle Larson last week. Nemechek is an interesting […]

Philipp Grubauer Likely Out Sunday

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer suffered an undisclosed injury in Friday's 3-2 win over Colorado and it looks likely that he will miss Sunday's meeting with Chicago. Seattle has called up Joey Daccord from the AHL, which strongly suggests that Grubauer won't be ready to play against the Blackhawks. He exited Friday's tilt in the […]

Chase Elliott Starts Third At Homestead On Sunday

Chase Elliott missed out on Row 1 by a mere 0.001 seconds in qualifying on Saturday. Elliott was the second of the three Hendrick Motorsports Racing cars in the top five. He was the last car to break 166 mph on a qualifying lap as well. The No. 9 car has finished in the top […]

Christopher Bell Just Misses Out On Pole At Homestead

Christopher Bell and Joe Gibbs Racing figured they might have a quick car for Homestead. Saturday proved that to be true. Bell finished just 0.05 seconds behind William Byron for the pole position. Bell begins Sunday's Dixie Vodka 400 outside of Row 1. Running from the front should help the No. 20 car's fortunes. He […]

Ayo Dosunmu (PG/SG, CHI) - Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: There is nothing surprising in seeing Ayo Dosunmu starting games for the Bulls at this point, but there is something very worrying about finding him available in more than 70% of ESPN leagues. If you're one of those GMs straight fading the second-year […]

William Byron Wins Pole For Dixie Vodka 400

William Byron and the Hendrick Motorsports cars have been fast. They were earlier in the season and were again in qualifying. Byron got around the 1.5-mile Homestead course in 32.454 seconds. That was good enough to win the pole for Sunday afternoon's Dixie Vodka 400. After one race of the third segment, Byron and his […]

Trey Mancini Serving As DH In Game 3

Houston Astros outfielder Trey Mancini is serving as the designated hitter and is batting seventh in Game 3 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday against the New York Yankees and right-hander Gerrit Cole. Mancini hasn't been a favorite of manager Dusty Baker's in the postseason, as he's played in only two games and […]

Devin Duvernay Worthy Of Flex Consideration In Week 7

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay caught just one of his five targets for 14 yards during the loss to the Giants in Week 6. However, despite the poor showing, the 25-year-old has had a better year than most anticipated, mainly with three receiving touchdowns under his belt. While Duvernay is still a risky option […]

Jalen Smith Listed As Questionable For Saturday

Indiana Pacers forward/center Jalen Smith (knee) is considered questionable for Saturday's matchup against Detroit. His night ended early Friday against the Spurs when he took a blow to the face, but he's actually listed as questionable with a sore right knee. He was also questionable for Friday's action with the same knee problem, so it […]

Kenyan Drake A Volatile Option Against Cleveland

Baltimore Ravens running back Kenyan Drake had 10 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown during the loss to the Giants in Week 6. This resulted from the premature exit of J.K. Dobbins (knee), who has also been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Browns. While Drake was projected to be the lead back […]

Darius Garland Misses Saturday's Action

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (eye) will sit out Saturday's game against Chicago. The talented playmaker injured his left eye in Wednesday's season opener against Toronto and needs some time to recover. The team has announced that Garland will be re-evaluated daily. With him on the shelf, Donovan Mitchell will likely see huge usage […]
