Donovan Peoples-Jones - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones could be lined up to operate as his team's No. 1 wide receiver in Week 15 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Browns have been hit hard by COVID-19, with most of their offensive starters, including Jarvis Landry, landing on the Reserve/COVID-19 list this week. If Landry can't get […]

Joe Burrow Returns To Full Practice

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (finger) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. The Bengals were giving Burrow a rest on Wednesday after he injured the pinkie finger on his right throwing hand in Week 13. The 25-year-old second-year signal-caller wasn't really bothered by his injured finger in the […]

James Robinson, Carlos Hyde Both Miss Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars running backs James Robinson (heel, knee) and Carlos Hyde (concussion) both missed practice on Thursday. Robinson was limited on Wednesday, but the Jaguars plan to rest him on Thursdays for the rest of the season. And now that Urban Meyer has been relieved of his head-coaching duties, the Jaguars could lean on the […]

Rex Burkhead Surprisingly Limited Thursday

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead (hip, quadriceps) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Head coach David Culley also said on Wednesday that Burkhead wouldn't be active in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which is why it's a bit strange that he was on the […]

Declassified Fantasy Football Playoff Strategy Guide

The fantasy football playoffs are upon us. A time for those involved to rejoice and make that final push to glory while league mates on the outside looking in must recalibrate (or just hope for better luck). A fantasy season is four months long but goes by in a flash. As much as we stress […]

Nick Chubb - Week 15 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb will suit up against the Las Vegas Raiders at home in a Week 15 Saturday afternoon contest. The Browns have been hit hard by COVID-19, with Chubb one of the few offensive starters left standing, so look for Cleveland to lean on him even more than usual to move […]

Isaac Okoro Enters COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Isaac Okoro has entered the league's health and safety protocols. The Cavs are already shorthanded and will likely be without Okoro for possibly a week or two. It's a shame because Okoro was playing his best basketball of the season right now. Cedi Osman and Denzel Valentine will be asked to step […]

Angela Hill Set For Main-Card Showing Against Dangerous Striker

Angela Hill (13-10), a long-time veteran of the UFC, will hope to turn things around after dropping three of her last four contests. Since her return to the UFC after a successful run in Invicta FC, Hill has had an average run with a current record of 7-8 during this stint. Normally a decision winner, […]

Donald Parham Jr. Carted Off With Head Injury

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Donald Parham Jr. (head) was immobilized and carted off the field early in the first quarter on Thursday night against the Kansas City Chiefs and will not return to the field. Parham was targeted in the back of the end zone on a fourth-down play and laid motionless on the […]

Lonnie Walker IV Questionable For Friday

San Antonio Spurs guard Lonnie Walker IV (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. He sat out of Wednesday's game due to the same reason, which resulted in Devin Vassell getting additional playing time. Keita Bates-Diop was also involved more, but Vassell is the better fantasy option between the two. […]

Thanasis Antetokounmpo Doubtful For Friday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered the injury on Wednesday, but played 21 minutes in that contest. He doesn't offer a ton of value, but stood to gain more value with Bobby Portis and Giannis Antetokounmpo sidelined due to protocols. Now, […]

T.J. Watt On Track To Play In Week 15

After putting in a limited practice on Wednesday, Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (groin) was able to practice in full on Thursday. Watt injured his groin in the first half of last Thursday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings and didn't return in the second half. However, the star pass-rusher is back on the practice field […]

Amanda Lemos Looking For Fifth Straight Win

Since dropping her debut in the Octagon, Amanda Lemos (10-1-1) has gone on to win her last four straight fights, with three of those coming via finish. To make her run even better, Lemos is coming off of a 35-second, first-round knockout in July. Nine of her 10 career wins have come with a finish, […]

Romeo Langford Not On Injury Report

Boston Celtics guard Romeo Langford (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. That is a good sign after Langford missed Thursday's practice due to a non-COVID related illness. Langford has shown flashes this season, but isn't worth rostering at the moment. Although, he could have […]

Adin Hill Gets Spot Start On Thursday Versus San Jose

San Jose Sharks goaltender Adin Hill gets another chance on Thursday night as the Sharks face the Vancouver Canucks at home. Hill has dropped three of his previous four decisions for San Jose. Ah, Hill is just 6-8 on the season with a .903 save percentage. Also, he has three "Really Bad Starts" where Hill […]

Ben Roethlisberger Returns To Practice Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (pectoral, shoulder) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Roethlisberger has been rested early in the practice week for most of the year, only to return to practice later in the week and play on Sundays. The only game that Roethlisberger […]

Tony Snell Won't Play Friday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Tony Snell (personal) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. This marks the second game in a row that Snell has missed due to personal reasons. He has been playing more lately, but it hasn't resulted in consistent fantasy value. Also, the return of Nassir Little has […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Uncertain For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Dennis Smith Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He was held out of Wednesday's loss due to right knee inflammation. Although, Smith probably won't have much of a role in the rotation with Damian Lillard and Anfernee Simons back on the court. That being […]

Thatcher Demko Goes For Fifth Straight Win Thursday

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will start again on Thursday versus the San Jose Sharks. Demko is riding a four-game winning streak while yielding just five goals in four starts. The goalie is up to 12-11-1 on the season and even a shutout. In a bit of a surprise, San Jose is not starting James […]

Stuart Skinner Starts Thursday For Edmonton At Home

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Stuart Skinner gets the start on Thursday night against Elvis Merzlikins and the Columbus Blue Jackets. This presents a good chance for Stuart to get a win and for Edmonton to snap out of its funk. Merzlikins has allowed four or more goals in four of his last five appearances. Meanwhile, Skinner's […]

Miles Sanders, Jordan Howard Limited Again

Philadelphia Eagles running backs Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jordan Howard (knee) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Sanders aggravated his ankle in Week 13 before the bye, but he had 27 touches for 142 total yards and should be able to suit up this weekend against the Washington Football […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Not Playing On Thursday

Washington Wizards guard Spencer Dinwiddie (rest) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This doesn't come as a surprise with it being the back end of a back-to-back set. His absence will move Aaron Holiday into the starting five on Thursday. Although, Raul Neto is the better fantasy option even though […]

Nikita Zaitsev Leaves Game With Lower-Body Injury Thursday

Ottawa Senators defenseman Nikita Zaitsev suffered an early lower-body injury in Thursday's game at the Tampa Bay Lightning. He left the contest and did not return. Currently, Zaitsev is expected to be listed as day-to-day. The defenseman had been playing more and more. He averaged over 22 minutes a game over the past five contests. […]

Taylor Heinicke Practicing In Full

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke (elbow) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday. Heinicke underwent an MRI exam on his injured knee earlier this week, but nothing came of it and his knee isn't even listed on the Week 15 injury report. He said his elbow was feeling much better on […]

Cale Makar In The COVID-19 Protocols

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar has been added to the COVID-19 list. This was a bit of a late move, but that likely means that either Makar is a close contact or had a positive test. Makar had 13 assists and 26 points in 23 games for the Avalanche heading into Thursday's game versus the […]

Pavel Francouz Makes Season Debut For Colorado Thursday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Pavel Francouz makes his season debut on Thursday night versus the Nashville Predators. He will be up against Juuse Saros. Francouz has not played since 2020 after suffering a catastrophic ankle injury during that season. He basically did a rehab assignment in the AHL. In 2019-20, Francouz went 21-7-4 for the Avalanche […]

Terry McLaurin Returns To Practice Thursday

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (concussion) was able to practice on a limited basis on Thursday after he was held out on Wednesday. McLaurin still hasn't been completely cleared from the concussion protocol, but it's a step in the right direction for him to play in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Scary […]
