What Fantasy Managers Should Know About These Injured Receivers - Michael Thomas, Chris Godwin, Robert Woods, Michael Gallup

Fantasy managers are no strangers to managing injuries and determining how to handle those injured and other players who are indirectly affected by that player's absence. That is, after all, a major component of football – injuries. They're always going to happen, they're absolutely unavoidable. However, typically fantasy managers aren't left with so many questions […]

Kyle Lowry Fails To Score In Game 5

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) had another dreadful playoff performance during Wednesday's loss to Boston. It's obvious the veteran is still limited by his infamous strained left hamstring, as he finished without scoring a single basket. Lowry has struggled throughout this series, so it's unlikely he'll make a difference for DFS managers anytime soon. […]

Bam Adebayo Scores Team-High 18 Points Against Boston

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo scored a team-high 18 points during the playoff loss to the Boston Celtics on Wednesday night. He also added 10 rebounds and one block. Jimmy Butler struggled, so Adebayo did all he could to keep his team in it. However, it wasn't enough, as Miami is now just one loss […]

Jimmy Butler Has Horrendous Showing Versus Boston

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler finished with 13 points during the postseason loss to the Celtics. He also added six boards, four assists, two steals, and one block. The veteran certainly struggled shooting the ball, going just 4-for-18 from the field and 1-for-5 from deep. After combining for 70 points throughout the first two games […]

Al Horford An All-Around Contributor In Game 5

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford finished with 16 points, seven boards, five assists, two blocks, and one steal during Wednesday's win over Miami. Although Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown led the way offensively, Horford made contributions across the board to help his team move one game closer to the NBA Finals. He's played exceptionally well […]

Marcus Smart Returns For Game 5, Drops Only Five Points

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) managed to shed a questionable tag and suit up for Wednesday's playoff meeting against Miami. However, the 28-year-old struggled, finishing with only five points throughout 24 minutes of work. After missing Game 4 on Monday due to a sprained left ankle, Smart did all he could to help his […]

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! This is John Brubaker once again dropping some of my favorite plays for tonight's slate.

Tanner Rainey Records Fourth Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Tanner Rainey earned his fourth save of the season Wednesday, allowing one hit and one run to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a scoreless inning of work to preserve a 1-0 victory. While save opportunities have been hard to come by, it's clear that Rainey remains the top option for manager […]

Robert Williams III Suits Up For Game 5

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) managed to suit up for Wednesday's postseason meeting versus Miami. He played 27 minutes, so his ailing left knee didn't appear to be much of an issue. In the end, the big man had just six points, although he made up for it by grabbing 10 boards and […]

Harold Castro Homers Twice Wednesday

Detroit Tigers utility man Harold Castro got the start at shortstop Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins, and he made the most of it, homering twice in a 3-for-4 effort to lead the team to a 4-2 victory. Castro has played all over the diamond this season, garnering 75 plate appearances as a part-time contributor, but […]

Jaylen Brown Scores Game-High 25 Points On Wednesday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown finished with a game-high 25 points during the win over Miami on Wednesday night. After a horrendous Game 5 showing, where the 25-year-old went a hideous 5-for-20 from the field, he bounced back admirably in this one. While Brown isn't as consistent of a DFS producer as his teammate, Jayson […]

Jayson Tatum Falls Short Of Triple-Double Versus Heat

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum fell just short of a triple-double during Wednesday's win over the Heat, finishing with 22 points, 12 boards, and nine assists. However, similar to other contests throughout this series, he had another rough night shooting, going 7-for-20 from the field and 2-for-8 from deep. Nonetheless, despite Tatum's shoddy percentages, he […]

Ben Gamel Drives In Two Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Ben Gamel continued his strong early-season performance Wednesday, going 2-for-4 with two RBI and a run scored in a 10-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies. Gamel has never had a breakout season, but he's performed well for a Pittsburgh team that seems content to have him occupy a prominent spot in its […]

Jakob Junis Earns Win Wednesday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jakob Junis earned his second win of the season Wednesday, throwing six strong innings against the New York Mets. Junis held the Mets to just two runs on three hits and one walk while striking out four, giving him his first quality start of the year. Junis has appeared in […]

Mike Yastrzemski Homers In Wednesday Win

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski continued his hot hitting on Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk, a two-run home run, and two runs scored from the third spot in the lineup. Yastrzemski now has a nine-game hitting streak going, and he's slashing .330/.430/.540 with four home runs over his last 30 games. It's a […]

Joc Pederson Continues Homer Binge

San Francisco Giants outfielder Joc Pederson went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and two walks in Wednesday's 9-3 victory over the New York Mets. This follows up a heroic effort the prior evening, when Pederson slugged three home runs and singled in six at-bats, driving in eight runs in the process. Pederson is now […]

Jameis Winston Participating At OTAs

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (knee) was spotted doing on-field drills during OTAs on Wednesday, contradicting previous reports suggesting he wouldn't be attending. The veteran tore his ACL in Week 8 and missed the remainder of the 2021 season. However, he appears to be moving in the right direction, with the hope remaining that […]

Colin Poche Secures First Save On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Colin Poche struck out one over an inning to earn the save during Wednesday's 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins. He entered the ninth inning of Wednesday's game to protect a two-run lead. The southpaw held the Marlins to an unearned run and escaped a jam to earn his first save […]

Justin Herbert Expected To Run More Of The Offense

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is expected to be more involved in running the offense this season. With head coach Brandon Staley back at the helm, Herbert hasn't spent time learning a new system, unlike in the past. Instead, the 2020 Rookie of the Year devoted much of the offseason to his footwork, throwing […]

Joey Gallo Activated From The COVID-19 List On Wednesday

The New York Yankees activated outfielder Joey Gallo from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Giancarlo Stanton (calf) heads to the injured list in a corresponding move. Gallo batted sixth and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The 28-year-old has struggled in 2022, slashing .171/.287/.324 with five home runs, seven RBI, and […]

James Washington In A Walking Boot

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver James Washington (foot) was observed wearing a walking book during OTAs on Wednesday. An official diagnosis hasn't been made available to the public, although rumblings have surfaced suggesting the 26-year-old is dealing with tendinitis in his left foot. However, head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that his absence is "nothing serious, more […]

Hunter Strickland Notches First Save On Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Hunter Strickland allowed one run on a hit and a walk while striking out across an inning to earn the save during Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Chicago Cubs. The 33-year-old entered Wednesday's contest in the ninth inning to protect a two-run lead. He retired the first batter he faced but hit […]

Antonio Gibson May Get Less Work In 2022

Washington Commanders running back Antonio Gibson had a productive 2021 season. He ran for over 1,000 yards while totaling 10 touchdowns. He also had a career-high 42 catches for 294 yards. However, head coach Ron Rivera recently stated that the team would utilize a committee approach out of the backfield during the 2022-23 campaign, meaning […]

Lance Lynn Set For Three Rehab Starts

Chicago White Sox pitcher Lance Lynn (knee) said Wednesday he'll begin a rehab assignment this weekend and make three starts in the minors before returning to the team.
