Josh McDaniels Has Good Chance To Be Raiders Next Head Coach
New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels reportedly has a "good chance" to become the next head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders. According to Jeff Howe of The Athletic, this connection has been building since last week. There's momentum, but it still needs to go through the interview process and align with the right […]

HR/FB: Using Sabermetrics for Fantasy Baseball
Using BABIP to predict a player's batting average is great. Batting average is a category in many league formats, and every hit is an opportunity to steal a base or score a run. Most fantasy managers find the long ball sexier. Every HR comes with a guaranteed run scored and at least one RBI. Many […]

Devin McCourty Undergoes Minor Thumb Surgery
New England Patriots defensive back Devin McCourty (thumb) underwent a minor procedure on his right thumb. After mulling over retirement recently, the Patriots safety is planning on playing in 2022.

Elijah Mitchell Cleared For NFC Championship Game
San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Welcome back to another League of Legends DFS fantasy slate! With the LPL on break until February 10th and the LCK only having 2 games per day for the next couple of days, I am going to dive into the LEC for week 3. The LEC is my personal favorite and what really got me […]

Will Barton Downgraded To Out
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (illness) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was expected to play, but will sit this one out due to a non-COVID related illness. The Pelicans are missing multiple key players, so the Nuggets appear to be playing it safe here. Austin Rivers […]

Domantas Sabonis Expected To Play Friday
Indiana Pacers forward Domantas Sabonis (ankle) is expected to play during Friday's game, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Sabonis has missed each of the last four games, but it sounds like he'll return against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday. However, the Pacers are likely going to wait until pregame warmups before officially committing […]

De'Andre Hunter Available On Friday
Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (back) will be available for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but managed to play during their last contest as well. Danilo Gallinari (eye) will be on the court as well during Friday's game. That means, Bogdan Bogdanovic and Lou Williams […]

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 […]
