Jalen Smith Gets Moved To Indiana

Phoenix Suns forward Jalen Smith has been traded to the Indiana Pacers. In exchange, the Suns will receive forward Torrey Craig, while also giving up a second-round pick to Indiana. This move helps the Suns add more depth and Craig has played enough in Phoenix in the past. Although, Craig doesn't offer much fantasy value […]

Josh Richardson Heading To San Antonio

Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson has been traded to the San Antonio Spurs. They will also receive guard Romeo Langford and a first-round draft pick in exchange for guard Derrick White. Clearly, the Spurs decided that Dejounte Murray and White weren't the best long term solution. San Antonio has a bunch of young guards such […]

Former Minnesota Vikings assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator Andre Patterson is being hired on Thursday as the defensive line coach for the New York Giants, according to a source.

Texans Unlikely To Hire A Defensive Coordinator

The Houston Texans are unlikely to hire a defensive coordinator, according to a source. Head coach Lovie Smith, who was the team's defensive coordinator last season, said he will call the defensive plays. The Texans still have key spots open on the coaching staff, though, so there's still a chance that Houston will use the […]

Jamison Crowder Likely To Move On

New York Jets impending free-agent wide receiver Jamison Crowder was the team's leading receiver in each of the last three seasons and caught 132 passes out of the slot (eighth-most in the NFL), but he's unlikely to return in 2022. Crowder took a $5 million pay cut last offseason and his durability is a concern, […]

Braxton Berrios Likely To Reach Free Agency

New York Jets impending free-agent wide receiver Braxton Berrios is likely to make it to the open market in March. The 26-year-old is a fan favorite and had four touchdowns in the final three games, but the Jets must decide if he's a full-time receiver or more of a gadget player/return specialist. Berrios averaged 5.4 […]

Kyler Murray's Status Will Affect Christian Kirk

Arizona Cardinals impending free-agent wide receiver Christian Kirk said his decision during free agency will be impacted by quarterback Kyler Murray's future with the team. "It'll definitely have a deciding factor," Kirk said. Murray recently scrubbed the team from his social media, leading to speculation that he could be upset with the organization. Kirk has […]

James Harden Traded To 76ers

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden has been traded to the Philadelphia 76ers. In exchange, the Nets will receive guards Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and center Andre Drummond.

Anthony Averett Unlikely To Return To Ravens

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec thinks Baltimore Ravens safety DeShon Elliott has a better chance to re-sign in free agency this offseason than cornerback Anthony Averett. Averett is expected to have a bigger market, and he won't be a starter in Baltimore as long as Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters are healthy. Averett's biggest supporter in […]

Ronnie Stanley's Future In Question

It's unknown if Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) will be able to play next season. General manager Eric DeCosta said that he's optimistic about Stanley, but nobody knows where Stanley is at in his rehab after aggravating his ankle injury in Week 1 and undergoing season-ending surgery. Hopefully Stanley's second ankle surgery will […]

PJ Dozier, Bol Bol Acquired By Magic

Boston Celtics guard PJ Dozier (knee) and center Bol Bol (foot) have been acquired by the Orlando Magic. The two teams will swap second round picks in this deal as well. Both Dozier and Bol are out for the rest of the regular season. This move was to help the Celtics save money and Orlando […]

Lamar Jackson May Not Get Extension This Offseason

The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec is hearing less optimism about the Baltimore Ravens and quarterback Lamar Jackson reaching a contract extension this offseason, but it's coming from outsiders and people not directly involved with the negotiations. Jackson has no agent and a tight inner circle, while the Ravens play things close to the vest, so there […]

Goran Dragic Traded To Spurs

Toronto Raptors guard Goran Dragic has been traded to the San Antonio Spurs. In exchange, the Raptors will receive forwards Thaddeus Young and Drew Eubanks. Toronto also gains a 2022 second-round pick from this deal. The Spurs received a 2022 first round pick from Toronto and are expected to buyout Dragic. It's uncertain where Dragic […]

Rodney Hood, Semi Ojeleye Moved To Clippers

Milwaukee Bucks forwards Rodney Hood and Semi Ojeleye have been traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. This is part of a four-team trade that also sent veteran center Serge Ibaka to Milwaukee.

Josh Jackson, Trey Lyles Traded To Kings

Detroit Pistons guard Josh Jackson and forward Trey Lyles have been traded to the Sacramento Kings. This is a four-team trade that also sends forward Marvin Bagley III to Detroit. Lyles could have a role without Bagley on the roster. However, Chimezie Metu has been playing well and looks like a better fantasy option right […]

Serge Ibaka Acquired By Bucks

Los Angeles Clippers center Serge Ibaka has been traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in part of a four-team trade. This is a big move for Milwaukee who desperately needed another center. Brook Lopez (back) remains without a timetable, so Bobby Portis has been asked to play an increased role. Now, Milwaukee has someone they can […]

Donte DiVincenzo Traded To Kings

Milwaukee Bucks guard Donte DiVincenzo has been traded to the Sacramento Kings in part of a four-team trade. The Kings have already acquired Domantas Sabonis, Justin Holiday, and Jeremy Lamb.

Marvin Bagley III Heading To Pistons

Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III has been traded to the Detroit Pistons in a four-team trade. The Kings will acquire Trey Lyles and Josh Jackson in part of this deal.

Francisco Lindor: 2022 Fantasy Baseball Bust?

The New York Mets finished the 2021 campaign with a 77-85 record overall, which was a very disappointing outcome after an active offseason. The third-place finish and missing the postseason was a shock to many seeing as they entered with a strong pitching staff and had signed Francisco Lindor to a massive 10-year, $341 million […]
