Elijah Mitchell Officially Active Against Texans

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) is officially active on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 17.

The 23-year-old has […]

Chris Conley Active In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) is officially active for the Week 17 game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Conley had three catches for 60 yards and his second touchdown of the season in last week's surprising win over the Denver Broncos, but he'll be a desperation WR4/5/flex play in deeper leagues […]

Javonte Williams, Melvin Gordon III Active

Denver Broncos running backs Javonte Williams (knee) and Melvin Gordon III (hip, thumb) are both active for the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both running backs were fully expected to play all week long and were never really in danger of sitting out this weekend. The Broncos have leaned on their strong […]

Courtland Sutton Active Against Chargers

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (illness) is officially active and will play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Broncos were hit hard by COVID-19 this week and receivers Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick are out, so Sutton could have a big game for the first time in a long time. Sutton has […]

DraftKings, FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (1/2/22): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome, RotoBallers. We're treated to a solid six-game slate tonight and three of the matchups (PHX/CHA, MIA/SAC, MIN/LAL) are very appealing from a DFS perspective. We're starting to see teams returning to some semblance of their typical starting lineups, though there are still a ton of players stuck in the health and safety protocols. This […]

Michael Carter Won't Return Sunday

New York Jets running back Michael Carter (concussion) and left tackle George Fant (knee) have been downgraded to out on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Week 17 NFL DFS Betting Picks (Premium Content)

NFL Week 17 is almost here and I am coming at you with another week of my favorite bets across the sportsbooks in hopes of helping you make a little bit of cash this weekend!   Background I am a big-time fantasy football and fantasy baseball player. I have been in leagues for about two-thirds […]

Malik Monk (PG/SG, LAL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 41% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kendrick Nunn and Anthony Davis are the only players out of the Lakers rotation entering 2022. The former has yet to play his first minutes donning Purple and Gold threads, and the latter should stay out for almost a month. Even then, […]

Terance Mann (SG/SF, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Clips are missing Paul George now and for the next three/four weeks. The Clips are, too, missing Kawhi for the full regular season. Brandon Boston Jr. just hit the protocols. And all of that made possible Terance Mann's comeback to the […]

Eric Bledsoe (PG/SG, LAC): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 59% of leagues ANALYSIS: Yes, I know we're stretching things a bit talking about a near-60% rostered player, but Eric Bledsoe is well worth the WW look just in case and much more the WW post this weekend. The Clippers' shelves are absolutely stacked these days […]

Alec Burks (PG/SG/SF, NYK): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 51% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kemba Walker missed three weeks of play from the end of November to mid-December as he came back to Thibs' rotation on Dec. 18 to score 29 points. Not bad. He even doubled-down on that with another 21-8-5 performance three days later, […]

Payton Pritchard (PG, BOS): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 18% of leagues ANALYSIS: Just in case: Dennis Schroder has missed time of late hitting the protocols but should be back from that as soon as possible. That, along with Marcus Smart also being back after missing a week, will cut Pritchard's upside down a bit, […]

DeMarcus Cousins (PF/C, MIL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Bucks have three players on the shelves exiting 2021 and that means they are legit one of the healthiest teams in the Association. Really. Khris Middleton and Semi Ojeleye are out per team reports, and Brook Lopez will most probably miss […]

Eric Gordon (SG/SF, HOU): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 39% of leagues ANALYSIS: The Rockets started the year thinking about stinking so they applied a Hard-Tank model not giving Gordon a single chance at starting games until Nov. 17, 12 games into the season already. Since that game, though, Eric G. has started all games […]

Jordan Howard Expected To Play In Week 17

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (neck) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Washington Football Team.

Gary Harris (SG/SF, ORL): Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues ANALYSIS: I don't think there is a team currently being hit harder by injuries/protocols as the Magic are these days. Orlando is missing all of Ross, Bamba, RoLo, Cole Anthony, Fultz, Okeke, and rookie-sensation Jalen Suggs. It's borderline impossible to think something like […]

Mike Evans Expected To Play, Will Be Limited In Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the New York Jets. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Evans will play in a "limited capacity."

Cam Atkinson Deals Out Three Assists Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers right-winger Cam Atkinson is not known as a playmaker. On Saturday night, the forward was just that in defeat.

Unfortunately […]

Trevor Moore Nets Four More Points On Saturday

Los Angeles Kings winger Trevor Moore had some night against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Moore scored a first period goal and set up three more Kings goals en route to a 6-3 home win.

Phillip Danault Delivers Three Point Night Saturday
