Kelly Oubre Jr. Won't Play Versus Heat

Charlotte Hornets forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. It's a shame that Oubre won't get to follow up his 39-point performance on Wednesday. However, he should be back soon and fantasy managers should monitor him in fantasy formats. Oubre appears to be heating up, so […]

Brandon Ingram, Jonas Valanciunas Inactive On Friday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (ankle) and center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Ingram will miss his third game in a row here as he continues to deal with a right ankle sprain. Valanciunas will miss his second game in a row due to a […]

Dolphins Have Two Coaching Candidates Coming In Next Week

With the news that Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll has taken the New York Giants head coaching job, the Miami Dolphins appear to have two options left: 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel and Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore. Moore would likely bring a more pass-oriented offense to the team than McDaniel would, but McDaniel has […]

Bears Likely To Move On From Allen Robinson

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Chicago Bears and wide receiver Allen Robinson are likely to part ways this offseason. Fowler also believes that the Indianapolis Colts would be a potential fit for Robinson. If he officially leaves Chicago, the team will need to find a way to bolster its receiving corps to help second-year […]

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Ruled Out Friday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) and center Anthony Davis (wrist) have been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. James sat out last game due to this knee issue and he'll miss at least one more game. Davis suffered a wrist injury last game, but managed to play through the issue. […]

Giants Hire Brian Daboll As Head Coach

The New York Giants are hiring Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll as the team's new head coach. The 46-year-old took over as Bills offensive coordinator in 2018 and has been instrumental in building an offense around quarterback Josh Allen, turning him from a polarizing prospect into one of the NFL's best quarterbacks. Can he […]

Jimmy Butler Expects To Play On Friday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (toe) will warm up with the intention to play on Friday, according to head coach Erik Spoelstra. Butler is coming off a strong game last time out, so hopefully he can continue that here against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers can go ahead and move Butler into their starting […]

Van Jefferson Listed As Questionable For NFC Title Game

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite the status, Jefferson has practiced this week and appears to be in line to play on Sunday. Through two playoff games, Jefferson has just three receptions, so there's a low floor for fantasy […]

Christian Wood Questionable Against Blazers

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (head) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Wood is reportedly dealing with a migraine, so the team might wait until pregame warmups to make a final decision. Alperen Sengun has been playing well for the Rockets this season and continues to gain momentum. He's […]

James Harden Practices On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden (hamstring) was able to get through practice on Friday. Head coach Steve Nash confirmed that Harden will be available for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Kyrie Irving (personal) will remain out, which means Harden will be the primary ball-handler for Saturday's game. The absence of Irving should give […]

Darrel Williams Questionable For AFC Title Game

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams (toe) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Williams didn't play last week and had just one carry for four yards in the playoff game against the Steelers, so his status for Sunday's game won't matter much when it comes to fantasy, as he'd be at […]

Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook Questionable For Friday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (wrist) and guard Russell Westbrook (knee) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Davis injured his wrist during Thursday's game and briefly checked out of the game. Luckily, he returned and continued to play well, but apparently the wrist issue is still bothering him. Dwight […]

Tyrann Mathieu Questionable For AFC Title Game

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals. But Mathieu has already returned to practice, making it look likely that the Chiefs defensive back will be cleared to play in Sunday's contest. Mathieu will be a vital part of slowing down the Bengals offense and […]

LeBron James Could Sit Out Against Hornets

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers due to left knee soreness. It appears James isn't quite fully healed yet, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Lakers be extra cautious here. Talen […]

De'Andre Hunter Might Play Against Celtics

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable on Wednesday due to back discomfort, but played in the contest. Bogdan Bogdanovic would likely be asked to slide into the starting five, assuming Hunter sits out. He'd have more streaming appeal and […]

Jonas Valanciunas Could Sit Out Friday

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He sat out the last contest for rest purposes and it's worth noting he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. Willy Hernangomez and Jaxson Hayes should be asked to soak up the minutes, assuming Valanciunas is unable […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Might Sit Against Suns

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jarred Vanderbilt (foot) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Vanderbilt has been playing excellent lately, so it'd be a shame to see him sit out here. He's snagged at least eight rebounds and averaging 3.3 steals over his last four games. There is plenty of streaming appeal […]

D'Angelo Russell, Patrick Beverley Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guards D'Angelo Russell (shin) and Patrick Beverley (ankle) are listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Russell suffered a left shin contusion during Thursday's game and it's unclear how significant it is. Beverley continues to be bothered by a right ankle sprain, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him […]

Identifying Potential Pitcher Breakouts - Biggest Changes in Fastball Usage

Every year, we are looking at different ways to find fantasy baseball breakouts. This is particularly true on the pitching side of things. Pitchers tend to be more volatile in terms of their year-to-year performance than hitters, paving the way for under-the-radar talents to emerge as frontline starters. When that happens, you'll want them on […]

Pitch Count Analysis for Fantasy Baseball - Analyzing Last Year's Starting Pitchers

A few things that have been rising rapidly in the last 20 years of Major League Baseball: revenues, player salaries, and the use of data analytics. These three things working in conjunction have led most Major League teams to be very careful with their starting pitchers, especially their best ones. We have seen both total […]
