Jimmy Garoppolo Dealing With Shoulder Sprain

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) is dealing with a "slight shoulder sprain" to his throwing shoulder, but he should be able to practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. So in addition to a torn ligament in his right thumb, Garoppolo will need to manage a shoulder sprain heading into the […]

Deandre Ayton Ruled Out Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He tweaked his ankle on Sunday and was unable to return to action. The Suns are going to take the cautious approach here and let Ayton rest. His next chance to get on the court will be […]

Tristan Wirfs Has A Chance To Play In Divisional Round

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that right tackle Tristan Wirfs (ankle) is in a walking boot right now, but there's still a chance that he can play on Sunday in the Divisional Round against either the Arizona Cardinals or Los Angeles Rams. However, Arians said it will likely come down to the […]

Giga Chikadze Not Able To Do Enough In Saturday's Main Event

The level of competition reared its ugly head for Giga Chikadze's fans in Saturday's main event, as he was taken down by Calvin Kattar in all five rounds, according to all three judges, losing the decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-44). In 25 minutes of action, Chikadze landed 128 significant strikes but absorbed 144 from Kattar. He […]

Cameron Johnson Likely Returning Against Spurs

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (ankle) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has missed each of the last three games due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are expected to ease him back into his role. That being said, it's unlikely that Johnson has much fantasy appeal […]

Leonard Fournette, Ronald Jones II Remain Question Marks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running backs Leonard Fournette (hamstring) and Ronald Jones II (ankle) both remain question marks heading into the Divisional Round game against either the Arizona Cardinals or Los Angeles Rams next weekend. Head coach Bruce Arians said the team will have to see if Fournette can go full speed on his hamstring, while […]

Bam Adebayo Hopeful For Monday

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Adebayo has been targeting Monday as his return date after a lengthy absence. In fact, Adebayo has been sidelined since November 29 due to a thumb injury. Fantasy managers should expect Adebayo to be on a minutes limit […]

Calvin Kattar Impresses In His Return On Saturday

After a year off and looking to rebound from his last loss, Calvin Kattar looked dominant in his main-event victory over Giga Chikadze on Saturday via unanimous decision (50-45, 50-45, 50-44). Statistically, it was an amazing night for Kattar, as he racked up 144 significant strikes (157 total strikes) and landed two of his seven […]

Norman Powell Not Available Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Norman Powell has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He has cleared from the league's health and safety protocols. However, Powell needs to regain his conditioning, so he'll sit out at least one more game. That means that Ben McLemore and Nassir Little should carry plenty of […]

Chase Sherman Loses Third Straight Fight On Saturday

It was not the performance that was needed on Saturday by Chase Sherman, who is now 0-3 since his return to the UFC after suffering a first-round submission loss to Jake Collier in the night's co-main event. In 2:26 of action, Sherman only tallied 10 total strikes before he took a kick that brought him […]

Hassan Whiteside Won't Play On Monday

Utah Jazz center Hassan Whiteside will not suit up for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He has been sidelined due January 10 due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's uncertain when he'll get back on the court, but he didn't have a huge role in the rotation anyway. Robert Gobert is […]

George Hill Starting Against Hawks

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He's not exactly the most attractive DFS option, but is worth a look on Monday. The Bucks don't have a ton of options, so Hill should play minutes into the 30s versus Atlanta. He could be a […]

Onyeka Okongwu Starts On Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward Onyeka Okongwu will move into the starting five for Monday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Clint Capela (ankle) remains sidelined, so Okongwu gets a shot in the starting lineup. He should be worth snagging in most formats as a streaming option right now. Okongwu will play roughly 30 minutes or so with […]

Jake Collier Shines In Co-Main Event With Submission Win

Two heavyweights pushed the pace early on Saturday, leading to a first-round submission win for Jake Collier over Chase Sherman in the night's co-main event. Catching a kick and pushing Sherman to the mat was the beginning of the end, with Collier implementing his much superior ground game. Statistically, Collier earned 20 significant strikes in […]

Rogerio Bontorin Unable To Get The Victory Over Brandon Royval

Though the seventh-ranked Rogerio Bontorin was able to keep the fight close for the judges, he was not able to do quite enough to defeat the fifth-ranked Brandon Royval on Saturday night. Covering 15 minutes of action, Bontorin only landed 28 significant strikes (39 total strikes) compared to Royval's 80 total strikes. The takedown department […]

Brandon Royval Seals A Victory Against Top-10 Opponent

The striking department is what led the fifth-ranked Brandon Royval to a close split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) on Saturday over the seventh-ranked Rogerio Bontorin. Royal only landed 40 significant strikes, but it was more than the 28 he absorbed from Bontorin. The issue for Royval came in the takedown department, where he was only […]

Jennifer Maia Unable To Win Back-To-Back Bouts

Flip-flopping wins and losses in her last six contests, Jennifer Maia came up on the losing end of the judges' scorecards (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) against Katlyn Chookagian on Saturday's main card. In 15 minutes of action, Maia only landed 52 significant strikes (60 total strikes), compared to the 72 significant strikes of Chookagian. Maia started […]

Katlyn Chookagian Wins Third Straight Fight Saturday

With three wins in a row, Katlyn Chookagian could easily find herself in championship talks for 2022. In Saturday's main-card showing against Jennifer Maia, Chookagian took a 30-27 score on all three judges' cards for the win. In 15 minutes of action, Chookagian earned 72 significant strikes (81 total strikes) and only landed one of […]

Dakota Bush Strikes Early But Still Suffers First-Round Defeat

In 3:47 of total action, Bush landed 11 significant strikes and had two takedowns. The big liver shot from Borshchev floored Bush […]

Viacheslav Borschev Impresses In Debut With First-Round Victory

UFC fans were given evidence on Saturday as to why we recommended that Viacheslav Borshchev be at the top of your fantasy rosters on fight night, as he earned a first-round TKO finish over Dakota Bush for the only knockout win on the main card. In 3:47 of total action, Borshchev tallied 16 significant strikes […]

Emiliano Grillo May Be One To Stay Away From At AMEX

Argentinian golfer Emiliano Grillo has had a rough time stringing together birdies, and that may bode poorly for him at La Quinta this weekend. Grillo has missed the cut at the last three tournaments he has entered. That included last week at the Sony Open, where the Argentine shot a 69-68, which was not good […]

Russell Henley A Question Mark At AMEX Golf Tournament

After what happened at the Sony Open to Russell Henley, there are a lot of question marks heading into La Quinta. Henley shot -6 on the Front 9 and looked to be well on his way to a win. Then, missed shots, missed putts, and worse led to a +1 on the Back 9. Hideki […]

Lucas Glover Shows Promise Heading To La Quinta

American golfer Lucas Glover bounced back from a bad showing at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. At the Sony Open, Glover finished fifth after a 64-65 weekend that kept him in the thick of contention. The only problem is that the course at La Quinta is not quite set up for Glover. He missed the […]

Charles Howell III's La Quinta Fortunes Depend On Putting

Charles Howell III has been done in by putting in the past, but last week he finished T36 because of his erratic shot-making than anything else. Now, Howell may arguably be more of a match for the stadium course. However, that is up for debate. His negative-0.4 strokes around the green is troublesome, but there […]
