Baker Mayfield Should Regain Pre-Injury Form

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder), who will have surgery on Jan. 19 to fix a completely torn labrum and fraying in his left shoulder, is expected to regain his pre-injury form, even if the fracture of his humerus bone requires repair. "The odds are in his favor in terms of getting back to playing, […]

Nick Folk Has Impressive Streak Going

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk hasn't missed a field goal inside 50 yards since Week 1 of the 2020 season, which is a streak of 55 consecutive regular season makes. That's impressive. The 37-year-old ended the regular season as the No. 1 kicker in fantasy points. Folk made 36 of his 39 field-goal attempts […]

Jalen Mills Won't Play Saturday

New England Patriots cornerback Jalen Mills wasn't activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list by the deadline on Friday, which means he won't be eligible to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills. Mills went into the league's COVID protocols on Tuesday and didn't travel with the team to Buffalo. D'Angelo Ross and Daniel Ekuale […]

Jacob Markstrom Misses Practice On Friday

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom did not practice on Friday. Markstrom made his return to game action against the Senators on Thursday, allowing four goals on 34 shots after missing a little over one week due to a minor undisclosed injury. Markstrom has cooled off lately after his very impressive start to the season, posting […]

Bam Adebayo Targeting Monday For Return

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) is targeting Monday against the Toronto Raptors as a return date. It has been roughly six weeks since Adebayo last took the court. Luckily, Omer Yurtseven and Dewayne Dedmon have helped fill the void while Adebayo has been sidelined. Yurtseven is averaging 10.3 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals […]

Isaac Okoro To Return On Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro (elbow) will make his return to the court on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. He was expected to miss 2-3 weeks of action, but easily beat that timetable. The Cavs could certainly use his help with the roster being banged up with injuries. However, the Cavs are likely to […]

Keifer Sykes To Start On Friday

Indiana Pacers guard Keifer Sykes will move into the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) is sitting out, which means Sykes will get an extended look. Duane Washington Jr. should see action as well, but Sykes is the better option between the two. Possibly, Sykes could be a punt […]

Kevin Huerter Will Play On Friday

Atlanta Hawks guard Kevin Huerter (foot) is available for Friday's game against the Miami Heat. He is dealing with a left foot contusion, but will play through the issue here. Huerter should actually have increased value now that Cam Reddish is off the roster. He should get more minutes and plenty of shots coming his […]

Scottie Barnes Available For Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Barnes is back in the lineup after sitting out due to right knee soreness. His return will push Yuta Watanabe to the second unit. Also, Chris Boucher likely won't play as many minutes anymore. That's a shame because Boucher was […]

Jimmy Butler Is Available Against Hawks

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will return to the lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He makes his return to the court after missing each of the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. It's assumed that Butler will play his normal amount of minutes here. That being said, Caleb […]

Melky Cabrera Announces His Retirement

Long-time outfielder Melky Cabrera announced his retirement on Friday. Cabrera hadn't played in the major leagues since 2019, but he had played in winter ball each of the last two years. The switch-hitter broke into the bigs in 2005 with the New York Yankees. He spent the first five seasons of his career in the […]

Tony Pollard Looks Back To 100 Percent

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard (foot) practiced in full all week for the first time since he tore his plantar fascia on Dec. 2, and he will play in Sunday's wild-card game against the San Francisco 49ers. Pollard was rested in the Week 18 regular season finale last Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles. "Tony […]

Alperen Sengun To Return On Friday

Houston Rocket center Alperen Sengun (ankle) will make his return to the court on Friday against the Sacramento Kings. He has missed each of the last seven games due to a right ankle sprain. The organization expected Sengun to return here, while head coach Stephen Silas confirmed Sengun will play regular minutes. Sadly, Christian Wood […]

Van Jefferson Downgraded To Limited Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson (shoulder) was downgraded from a full practice on Thursday to a limited participant on Friday. It's unclear if Jefferson actually suffered a setback that might put his status in question for Monday night's wild-card game against the Arizona Cardinals, but we'll have a better idea of his availability […]

Mo Bamba Remains Out Against Hornets

Orlando Magic center Mo Bamba (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks two games in a row that Bamba has been unable to play due to a right toe sprain. His absence likely means another start for Robin Lopez. Last time out, Lopez finished with 16 points and […]

Gary Trent Jr. Not Playing Against Pistons

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. This marks the third game in a row that Trent has missed due to right ankle swelling. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as the Raptors are likely just being overly cautious. Svi Mykhailiuk should see more […]

Jeremy Lamb Won't Play Against Suns

Indiana Pacers guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He attempted to warm-up pregame, but ultimately decided to sit this game out. Torrey Craig (quad) will be active and is likely to see more minutes without Lamb available. Although, Craig hasn't been too productive in terms of […]

No Injury Designation For Jimmy Garoppolo

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is not on the final injury report for Sunday's wild-card game against the Dallas Cowboys. Garoppolo returned to a full practice on Thursday, and although he'll still be managing his thumb sprain, the 30-year-old looks to be much healthier than he was going into the Week 18 regular […]

Elijah Mitchell Cleared For Sunday's Game

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) wasn't listed on the final injury report for wild-card weekend and will play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. With a couple high-priced running backs looking like potential busts this weekend, Mitchell is one of the better value plays at the position at a price tag […]

Isaiah Wynn Downgraded To Out

New England Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn (ankle, hip) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Saturday's wild-card game against the division-rival Buffalo Bills. Wynn missed practice all week after playing only nine snaps in the Week 18 regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. The 2018 first-round pick started 15 games and played […]

J.J. Watt Trending Toward Playing Monday

Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (shoulder) had no issues after returning to practice on Thursday and is trending toward playing in Monday night's wild-card game against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Watt's practice on Thursday was his first since suffering a shoulder injury that required surgery in late October, so even if he's active […]

Chase Edmonds Puts In Another Limited Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ribs, toe) was limited in practice on Friday for the second straight day this week. James Conner (ribs) and Jonathan Ward (knee) have yet to practice this week. Edmonds was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale, but he's on track to play this week and expects […]

Travis Kelce Ready To Roll For Wild-Card Game

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (hip) practiced in full all week and will play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in the wild-card game. Kelce injured his hip in the Week 18 regular season finale win over the Denver Broncos, but it wasn't a serious injury and he'll play this weekend. He'll […]
