Zion Williamson Tagged As Questionable For Tuesday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 22-year-old appears to have avoided serious injury after a scary fall on Sunday. He suffered a bruised hip, which could end up costing him a game or two. Although, his doesn't sound like an injury that […]

Brandon Ingram No Longer In Concussion Protocol

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (head) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game. The 25-year-old took a hit to the face and was removed as a precaution. Luckily, Ingram is no longer in concussion protocol, so that's good news. He is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ingram is […]

Herbert Jones Avoids Serious Injury

New Orleans Pelicans forward Herbert Jones (knee) underwent an MRI following Sunday's contest. The MRI showed no structural damage in his right knee. The team is considering Jones questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The 24-year-old hasn't brought much to the table through three games, but fantasy managers should remain patient with him. […]

Lance McCullers Jr. Strikes Out Six Sunday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. struck out six batters in his start against the New York Yankees in the fourth game of the American League Championship Series on Sunday. The right-hander allowed eight hits, four runs, three earned runs, and a walk in five innings of work. He also registered 11 swinging strikes […]

Alperen Sengun Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The Rockets could certainly use his help with Bruno Fernando (knee) and Jae'Sean Tate (ankle) already sidelined for this game. Usman Garuba is expected to play heavy minutes, while Kenyon Martin Jr. is asked to pick up the […]

Chris Boucher To Make Season Debut On Monday

Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher (hamstring) is set to make his season debut against the Miami Heat on Monday. This is good news for the Raptors with Scottie Barnes (ankle) possibly going to miss some time. Precious Achiuwa will probably benefit the most from the loss of Barnes. However, Boucher should be able to do […]

Jeremy Pena Named ALCS MVP

Houston Astros shortstop Jeremy Pena homered on Sunday as part of a two-hit performance in a win for the American League West club. Houston completed a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees with the result as Pena drove in three runs and scored two more in the deciding game. The rookie shortstop was named […]

Scottie Barnes Is A Game-Time Decision For Monday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (ankle) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Miami Heat. This is a bit surprising considering head coach Nick Nurse said Barnes was going to miss some time. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Raptors take the cautious approach and rest Barnes on Monday. Precious […]

Sam Ehlinger Expected To Start For Rest Of Season

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Sam Ehlinger has been promoted to the starting quarterback after veteran quarterback Matt Ryan's sluggish start to the season. Ehlinger was a sixth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and has not thrown a pass in a regular season game. He's worth picking up in deep leagues and superflex/two-QB leagues as there's […]

Zack Wheeler Throws Six Innings Against Padres Sunday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler allowed three hits and two earned runs in six innings of work in the fifth game of the National League Championship Series on Sunday. The veteran also struck out eight batters on the day while registering 11 swinging strikes and a quality 33% CSW rate. The Phillies didn't take […]

Russell Wilson Could Return In Week 8

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (hamstring) could return in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after head coach Nathaniel Hackett said he's still day-to-day, but trending in the right direction. Despite Wilson's sluggish start, he'll be an interesting fantasy option if he can return against the Jaguars in London. The Jaguars have been a top-10 […]

Harrison Bader Homers Again On Sunday

New York Yankees outfielder Harrison Bader hit another home run on Sunday. The veteran also collected three hits from the leadoff spot in the lineup in the fourth game of the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros, scoring three runs in the process. The home run was Bader's fifth of the postseason. With […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Has Good Chance To Face Dolphins

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown was knocked out of the Week 7 loss to the Dallas Cowboys early with suspicion of a concussion. St. Brown remains in concussion protocol, but he has been cleared of having a concussion. Lions' head coach Dan Campbell said St. Brown has a good chance to play against […]

Mike Boone Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone (ankle) will miss a few weeks after suffering an injury in the loss to the New York Jets. With Boone and Javonte Williams (knee) out of the picture, this backfield will be a combination of Melvin Gordon and Latavius Murray. For now, Murray looks to be the more desirable […]

Daniel Bellinger Suffers Fracture Around Eye

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger has suffered a fracture around his eye socket and septum that may require surgery. For now, it's tough to know what the injury timeline is since it's a fairly rare football injury, so fantasy managers who have been streaming him will have to keep up to date with […]

Yu Darvish Allows Two Earned Runs In Six Innings Sunday

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Yu Darvish threw six innings on Sunday in his most recent playoff outing. The veteran scattered four hits, a pair of earned runs, three walks, and a home run in those six innings while striking out five batters on 91 pitches against the Philadelphia Phillies in the fifth game of […]

PJ Walker To Start Against Falcons

Carolina Panthers quarterback PJ Walker will get his third straight start in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 16-of-22 passing attempts for 177 yards and two touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has earned at least one more start. Baker Mayfield (ankle) and Sam Darnold (ankle) could both be healthy enough to […]

Matt Ryan Injured, Benched For Rest Of Season

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) will not play next week against the Washington Commanders, and Frank Reich said Sam Ehlinger would have started this week regardless of the injury. Ehlinger is expected to be the Colts' starter for the rest of the 2022 season after a disappointing start to the season by Matt Ryan. […]

A Year to Forget: MLB Hitters Who Will Rebound for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

If I had to pick one piece of general fantasy sports advice to give, it would be this. Price is king. You can know all the stats and trends and spend hours and hours pouring into player breakdowns and all the rest, but if you don't draft based primarily on price in mind, you will […]

Breece Hall's Promising Rookie Year Is Over

Tests on Monday confirmed that New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 7 win over the Denver Broncos, according to a source. Hall also suffered a meniscus injury and will miss the rest of the 2022 season. It's a huge blow to the Jets, Hall and fantasy […]

David Njoku Expected To Miss 2-5 Weeks

Updating a previous report, further testing showed that Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. He will not require surgery but is expected to be out for two to five weeks, according to a source. It's a tough break for Njoku and […]

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 2: Jarred Vanderbilt, Dennis Smith, Lonnie Walker

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

How Long Will Scottie Barnes Be Out? Who Should I Pickup Instead for Fantasy Basketball?

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes has gotten off to a decent start to the season, averaging 14.3 points on 51.4% shooting to go along with 4.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.3 steals per contest. But Barnes suffered an ankle injury on Saturday night against the Miami Heat and is now set to miss some time. […]

Antoine Winfield Likely Out For Thursday Night Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that safety Antoine Winfield (concussion) is likely to be out for Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens since he's in the concussion protocol on Monday. Winfield went down with a head injury in Sunday's surprising loss to the Carolina Panthers and was unable to return. With […]

David Njoku Considered Week-To-Week

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that tight end David Njoku (ankle) is week-to-week after injuring his left ankle in the Week 7 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Fellow tight end Pharaoh Brown is also in the concussion protocol. Njoku was seen in a walking boot and using crutches after Sunday's game, so there's […]

DK Metcalf Doesn't Need Surgery

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said the team got a "really good report" on wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) after he was injured in the Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and he doesn't need surgery.
