Zach LaVine Out On Friday Versus Wizards

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (knee) is officially tagged as out for Friday night. He missed the team's season-opener as well due to injury management with his knee. As of right now, he's reportedly supposed to make his season debut on Saturday when the Bulls face the Cleveland Cavaliers. His knee has proven to be […]

Saints vs. Cardinals Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Kyler Murray, Alvin Kamara, James Conner, Chris Olave, Zach Ertz, DeAndre Hopkins

Last week was wild. The NFL kept us on our toes with plenty of large upsets that resulted in some surprising fantasy stars. It’s always a weird week when Deon Jackson and Mike Gesicki are leading their positions. Thankfully, we also saw the return of the Bengals' offense with both Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase […]

Rodrigo Blankenship To Kick Thursday, Matt Prater Ruled Out

Arizona Cardinals kicker Rodrigo Blankenship was elevated to the active roster on Thursday. He'll serve as the active kicker for the Thursday Night matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Matt Prater (hip) is unable to play in Week 7, but will hopefully return soon. Blankenship hasn't been too consistent during his short NFL career. He […]

Browns Defense Draws Tough Week 7 Matchup

The Cleveland Browns defense has underperformed for much of the year, ranking as the overall No. 28 D/ST in fantasy points per game. They draw a tough road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7 in an important divisional showdown. The Ravens have an implied team total of 26.25 points in a game with […]

Joe Harris Listed As Probable For Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Joe Harris (ankle) is now listed as probable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He should bring some much-needed three-point shooting to the team after they shot only 30.3% from deep against the New Orleans Pelicans. Last season before getting injured, Harris shot a scorching 46.6% from three. That was on […]

Eduardo Nunez Announces Retirement

Former Boston Red Sox infielder Eduardo Nunez announced his retirement on his personal Instagram account on Thursday. Nunez last played in 2020 in just two games for the New York Mets. The 35-year-old hand not played at all this year and last played in seven games for the Fubon Guardians of the Chinese Professional Baseball […]

James Conner Inactive For Week 7

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (hip) is officially inactive for the Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury mentioned Conner would be a game-time decision, so it sounds like the team is taking the cautious approach here. The expectation is that Eno Benjamin will handle a bulk of the […]

Daniel Carlson Back As Top Kicker Option In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson will look to continue his dominant season against the Houston Texans in Week 7. Fantasy Managers will be happy to have the number one kicker in fantasy back after the bye week. The Raiders have moved the ball well and should see similar success in this matchup. They know […]

Derek Carr A Back-End QB1 in Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr will look to put together a QB1 performance against the Houston Texans in Week 7. The Texans don't appear to be a great matchup on paper, having only allowed 4 passing touchdowns this season. It is safe to attribute that to both their opponents as well as the lack […]

Lamar Jackson Gets In Full Practice Session

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hip) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. The 25-year-old was limited during Wednesday's practice, but was never expected to miss Week 7. The expectation is that he'll be fully healthy for the upcoming matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Fantasy managers should consider Jackson an elite QB1 for this upcoming […]

Cade York A Mid-Range Fantasy Option In Week 7

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York will head on the road to take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 7. York is coming off a Week 6 loss which saw him hit all three of his field goals, giving him 11 makes in 13 tries on the year. The Ravens have been tough on opposing kickers […]

Bryson Stott, Brandon Marsh To Return To Lineup Friday

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said the team will go back to rookie shortstop Bryson Stott and outfielder Brandon Marsh in the starting lineup on Friday in Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the San Diego Padres and right-hander Joe Musgrove. Outfielder Matt Vierling and infielder Edmundo Sosa got the starts in […]

Josh Jacobs A Locked-In RB1 In Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs will look to continue his top-10 season in Week 7 against the Houston Texans. Heading into the Week 6 bye, Jacobs had provided back-to-back top-3 finishes at the position. Coming out of the bye, he will square off against a bottom-5 run defense in the NFL in the […]

Nelson Agholor Remains Out During Thursday's Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (hamstring) was sidelined during Thursday's practice. This put Agholor behind where he was last week when he was getting in limited practice sessions. There's a good chance that the 29-year-old won't suit up this week against the Chicago Bears. Jakobi Meyers and DeVante Parker would benefit the most, […]

"No Chance" Zack Wheeler Starts In Game 4

Philadelphia Phillies manager Rob Thomson said there's "no chance" that right-hander Zack Wheeler makes the start in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series against the San Diego Padres on Saturday night on short rest. Wheeler was dominant in the Game 1 win on Tuesday, throwing seven shutout innings with one hit, one walk […]

Ranger Suarez Starting Game 3 Against Padres

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez will start Game 3 of the National League Championship Series against the San Diego Padres on Friday night in Philadelphia. It will be his second career playoff start 10 days after he went only 3 1/3 innings in a Game 1 win over the Atlanta Braves in the NL Division […]

Mack Hollins Limited On Thursday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Mack Hollins (heel) was limited during practice on Thursday. The 29-year-old was quiet last week, but could find himself with a bigger role in Week 7. Both Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Darren Waller (hamstring) are uncertain for the upcoming matchup with the Houston Texans. That being said, Hollins could have […]

Hunter Renfrow Misses Thursday's Practice

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (hip) was absent during practice on Thursday. The 26-year-old recently returned from a concussion that sidelined him multiple weeks. This is certainly frustrating news to fantasy managers who just got Renfrow back. Fantasy managers will have to pay close attention to Renfrow's status during Friday's practice. His absence […]

Elijah Moore Has Requested A Trade

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has requested a trade from the organization. The 22-year-old missed Thursday's practice due to personal reasons. It sounds like Moore is unhappy with his usage in the current team's offense. To be fair, Moore has 16 catches for 203 yards and no touchdowns over the first six weeks. […]

Harrison Bader Batting Cleanup In Game 2 Against Astros

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader is starting in center field and is hitting leadoff for Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Thursday against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez. Bader, who played in only 14 regular season games for the team after being acquired from the St. Louis Cardinals at […]

Yordan Alvarez Serving As The DH In Game 2

Houston Astros outfielder Yordan Alvarez will serve as the team's designated hitter and bat third in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Thursday against New York Yankees right-hander Luis Severino. Alvarez will return to the DH role and swap spots with Aledmys Diaz, who served as the DH in the Game 1 […]

Matt Grzelcyk Gears Up For Season Debut

Boston Bruins defenseman Matt Grzelcyk (shoulder) will make his first appearance of the season Thursday against the Ducks. The 26-year-old has missed the first four games of the season after undergoing shoulder surgery in June. He will take Anton Stralman's spot in the lineup. Grzelcyk doesn't have a lot of fantasy value, but he has […]

Conor Garland Returns To Canucks Lineup

Vancouver Canucks winger Conor Garland will be back in action Thursday against Minnesota after being a surprising healthy scratch for Tuesday's meeting with Columbus. Nils Hoglander is dropping out of the lineup this time around. The Canucks have had an awful time hanging on to leads early in the season and they have ended up […]

Nicholas Robertson Replaces Denis Malgin On Second Line

Toronto Maple Leafs left wing Nicholas Robertson will make his season debut on Thursday against Dallas, replacing Denis Malgin on the second line. Malgin will watch the game from the press box as a healthy scratch. Robertson looked great in preseason, but he couldn't start the year in the NHL due to Toronto's cap situation, […]

Conor Sheary Joins First Line With Connor Brown Out Long-Term

Washington Capitals right wing Connor Brown (lower body) has been placed on Injured Reserve and will be out long-term. The former Senator was injured on Monday against Vancouver and there's a possibility that he will need to undergo surgery. The Capitals already have one major absentee on the right wing with Tom Wilson (knee). Wilson's […]

Gabriel Landeskog Out For 12 Weeks After Surgery

Colorado Avalanche forward Gabriel Landeskog has undergone arthroscopic knee surgery and won't be able to play for 12 weeks. Colorado's captain has already missed the start of the season and sadly we won't be seeing him for a while now. Landeskog's injury has opened up first-line minutes for Artturi Lehkonen, who has taken full advantage […]

David Njoku A TE1 Vs. Baltimore

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku is in the midst of a breakout season in his sixth season in the NFL, having gone over 72 receiving yards in three contests. Njoku has established himself as the No. 2 target in the Cleveland passing game, behind only Amari Cooper and has a chance to build on […]

Aaron Ekblad Placed On Long-Term Injured Reserve

Florida Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad (lower body) has been placed on long-term Injured Reserve after he was injured in Monday's 5-3 loss against Boston. Florida's No. 1 defenseman won't be eligible to return to action until Nov. 12. With Brandon Montour (upper body) also unavailable, Gustav Forsling played a huge part on Wednesday against Philadelphia, […]

Jakub Vrana Enters Player Assistance Program

Detroit Red Wings left wing Jakub Vrana has been placed in the NHL and NHLPA's player assistance program, and the 26-year-old is set to be out indefinitely. This is a bad blow for Detroit, especially with Tyler Bertuzzi (upper body) also dropping out of the lineup, but hopefully Vrana receives the help that he needs […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones A Flex Option For Week 7

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones has been productive for his team of late, having caught at least four passes and going for at least 50 receiving yards in each of his past three contests. He lines up as a sneaky start in Week 7's road matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens have not […]
