Cordarrelle Patterson Campaigning To Be Re-Signed

Atlanta Falcons impending free-agent running back Cordarrelle Patterson has been campaigning relentlessly for the Falcons to re-sign him this offseason.

The 30-year-old was often times the […]

Happy Friday, RotoBallers!

John Collins Exits Early On Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (shoulder) was unfortunately not able to get through Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (knee) was held out of Thursday's practice. He suffered a sprained MCL during the NFC Championship game and hasn't practiced since then.

Cam Akers Sidelined During Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (shoulder) has missed each of the last two practices. He injured his shoulder during the first half of the NFC Championship game.

Toronto Raptors forward Khem Birch (nose) has been upgraded to available for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He has not appeared in a game since January 14 and underwent nose surgery. His return will impact the fantasy value of Chris Boucher, and Precious Achiuwa. It's uncertain how big of a role Birch will have […]
