Greg Zuerlein Struggling Heading Into Postseason

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones admitted that kicker Greg Zuerlein's recent struggles have "absolutely" altered the team's game plan heading into their wild-card game this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. "If a better alternative was out there, we'd be using it. Everything is at stake," Jones said. It's not exactly a confidence-booster for Zuerlein […]

49ers Activate Trey Sermon From Injured Reserve

The San Francisco 49ers activated rookie running back Trey Sermon (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Tuesday. Sermon went on IR after suffering an ankle injury in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (knee) is expected to be available for Wednesday's game against Orlando, which will mark his season debut.

Marcus Smart Unlikely To Suit Up Wednesday

Boston Celtics point/shooting guard Marcus Smart (thigh) has been tagged as doubtful to play in Wednesday's game vs. Indiana due to a right thigh contusion.

Chris Carson Expected To Be Ready For Training Camp

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said he expects running back Chris Carson (neck) and safety Jamal Adams (shoulder) to be ready to go when training camp starts this summer. Carson played in four games in 2021 before undergoing season-ending neck surgery in November. When Carson has been healthy, he's been a solid RB1/2 for […]

Browns Expect Baker Mayfield To Be Their Starter In 2022

Cleveland Browns general manager Andrew Berry said that the team fully expects quarterback Baker Mayfield "to be our starter and bounce back" in 2022.

Tyrese Maxey Set To Return For Wednesday’s Game

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Tyrese Maxey has not been listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest vs. Charlotte.

Toronto Raptors power forward Scottie Barnes (knee) and shooting guard Gary Trent Jr. (ankle) have been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Phoenix.

Trent's absence will mark his second […]

Giants Fire Head Coach Joe Judge

The New York Giants fired head coach Joe Judge on Tuesday, according to a source.

In his two seasons with the Giants, Judge went 10-23, and he […]

Jimmy Butler Will Miss Third Straight Game Wednesday

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Atlanta, marking his third consecutive absence due to a sprained right ankle. Max Strus has stepped into the starting five in place of Butler and combined for 39 points over his last two outings, giving him significant DFS appeal. Tyler […]

Rui Hachimura Faces Minutes Cap For Tuesday’s Game

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura is expected to play around 15-16 minutes during Tuesday's contest vs. the Thunder as he ramps back up to game speed.

Cameron Davis Won't Do Too Bad At Sony Open

Cameron Davis is interesting for this week's Sony Open because his metrics say there is no way he should finish in the top 20 despite his decent 31st-place finish last year. He often drove the heck out of the ball to set up birdie chances last year. It is not a surprise he ranked 19th […]

Russell Henley Likely To Surprise At Sony Open

Russell Henley nearly finished in the top 10 (T11) last year at the Sony Open. Honestly, he easily would have if he had not missed a few easy putts. Those were ones Henley admitted later he never would have missed normally. His game is suited for a course like Wai'alae Country Club. Henley does not […]

Lucas Glover Not Recommended At Sony Open

Lucas Glover did not do much last week as he finished 35th at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions. It is a nice way of saying things did not go well. Glover either can be total hit or miss as he missed the cut nine times in 2021. Too many weekends shooting in the 70's will […]

Charles Howell III Could Do Well At Sony Open

Charles Howell III has shown the ability to put enough holes together to do well at the Sony Open. Last year, he closed out with a 64 to finish 19th rather unexpectedly. That unexpectedly is because typically there were too many tournaments where the American did not close well. Last season, he had one top-ten […]

Brendon Todd May Struggle At The Sony Open

Brendon Todd does not drive a golf ball very far, but he places the ball quite well. He was first on tour last year when it came to driving accuracy (75.25%). However, the golfer averaged just over 275 yards a drive. That still presents problems, even on a 7,044-yard course like Wai'alae. Todd finished 10 […]

Ryan Palmer Not Expected To Contend At Sony Open

Ryan Palmer can drive a ball just over 300 yards but his lack of putting ability may be his downfall at the Sony Open this weekend. He gained just 0.099 strokes putting which ranked a mere 89th. His work around the green is worse at 144th and in the negative direction. His driving accuracy and […]

Kevin Na Expects Better Finish At Sony Open

American golfer Kevin Na finished 13th last week at the Sentry Tournament Of Champions while literally shooting 67's or 68's each round. That consistency bodes well for an easier playing Sony Open this week (7,044 yard course). The Wai'alae Country Club suits Na's game well. After all, he did win the tournament last year at […]

Minnesota Wild left wing Kirill Kaprizov (upper body) could possibly return to the lineup on Friday against the Ducks, according to head coach Dean Evason.

Jaccob Slavin Enters COVID-19 Protocols

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin has been placed in the COVID-19 protocols on Tuesday. The 27-year-old ranks second among Hurricanes defensemen with 18 points through 33 games, behind only Tony DeAngelo's 24 points. Slavin provides additional fantasy value for fantasy managers in plus-minus leagues, as he has been among the league leaders in that category […]

Claude Giroux Ready To Return Thursday

Tuch was […]
