Kirk Cousins Will Start On Sunday Against The Bears

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins was activated off of the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday and is set to start on Sunday against the Bears. Head coach Mike Zimmer said that all starters will play their usual allotment of snaps, which means that Cousins, Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and K.J. Osborn are all in play for fantasy […]

Jamison Crowder Back At Practice On Wednesday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is back at practice on Wednesday, and while the veteran hasn't been fantasy relevant for much of the season, his return to the slot could dampen the production of Braxton Berrios, who has begun to break out of late. While Berrios will certainly still be a part […]

James Conner Back At Practice On Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing the last two weeks with an ankle injury. Considering this is an early practice, it's a good sign for Conner's availability that he was able to be back and working out; however, it is not a guarantee that he plays. […]

Ronald Jones II Not Present At Practice On Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (ankle) wasn't present at the open portion of practice Wednesday after leaving Sunday's game early with an injury. Wednesday practices are usually light for Tampa, so we don't want to jump to conclusions yet, but this is a situation to monitor, especially since backup Ke'Shawn Vaughn (ribs) […]

Joe Mixon Placed On COVID-19 List, Out For Week 18

The Cincinnati Bengals placed running back Joe Mixon (illness) on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, and he will miss Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. The Bengals have a chance for the No. 1 seed but need help from other teams to secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Mixon finishes the 2021 season with 1,205 […]

NBA DFS Prop Picks for 1/5 - Monkey Knife Fight

Wednesday hits us with a massive 11-game slate and there are only two teams playing on the second night of a back-to-back. The Sacramento Kings lost to the Lakers last night and host the Atlanta Hawks one game after Trae Young scored 56 points on 26 shots. While Sacramento's rotation looks sustainable for the first […]

Offensive Outliers From Week 17 - Coaching Matters

We now enter the 17th week of this series, where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 17, we saw stat lines such as the New York Giants wide receivers combining for four targets, the Dallas Cowboys running backs combining for […]

The Running Game Is Alive - NextGen Stats Analysis

Most fantasy GMs are already celebrating or lamenting their success or failure at fantasy football for the 2021 season. With the average, now-usual 17-week leagues already over, there are folks out there (most probably you're one if you're reading this) still fighting for the chip in the mighty, unpredictable, crazy Week 18 slate of games […]

Past Winner Justin Thomas Is An Excellent Fit At Kapalua

Justin Thomas has arguably the best course history at Kapalua. In his last five starts, Thomas has two wins and four top-fives. Thomas played three times on tour since his fourth-place finish at The Tour Championship. In those starts, he finished 18th, third and fifth. Thomas ranks third in the field in total strokes gained […]

Patrick Reed Has Had Mixed Results At Kapalua

Patrick Reed's fall swing was unsatisfactory, to say the least. While he did have a second-place finish at The Bermuda Championship in October, his other starts were not so great. Outside of Bermuda, Reed lost strokes gained in almost every category. Reed has two top-10s and two top-20s at Kapalua. He finished second in 2020, […]

Daniel Berger Arrives In Kapalua With Limited Form

Daniel Berger had an excellent 2021, highlighted by a win at Pebble Beach. Berger has only played once in three months, and that was a seventh-place finish at The Hero World Challenge. Berger has decent course history at Kapalua, playing here three times and finishing in the top 15 in each of his starts. Berger […]

Sungjae Im A Popular Play This Week

Sungjae Im won The Shriners Children Open in October while gaining 10.5 strokes tee-to-green. Im carried that strong play into a ninth-place finish at The CJ Cup and a 19th-place showing at The Houston Open. In those three tournaments, Im had a combined total of 24.7 strokes tee-to-green. Im has played The Tournament of Champions […]

Mid-Week Fantasy Basketball Category Streamers for Week 12: Devin Vassell, Patrick Beverley, Mason Plumlee, Nicolas Claxton

If you're one of those fantasy basketball players that sets a lineup at the beginning of the week, checks out, and then comes back seven days later to see how things shook out, this post is not for you. This is for those who are grinding through each day and keeping track of categories as […]

Brooks Koepka Aims For Great Start At Kapalua

Brooks Koepka had an interesting 2021 season and nearly won the PGA Championship as he finished behind Phil Mickelson. He won the Waste Management Open to qualify for the season opener Sentry Tournament Of Champions. His overall strokes gained ranked 8th on tour last season led by a 1.157 strokes gained from tee-to-green (11th). Koepka's […]

Patrick Cantlay A Favorite At Sentry Tournament Of Champions

American golfer Patrick Cantlay finished 2021 with a flourish. He had four consecutive top-25 results culminating in wins at the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship. Cantlay had four wins overall on the season but it was that back-to-back that cemented his arrival. Now, the format at the Tour Championship helped Cantlay win but building […]

Abraham Ancer Looks To Feed Off Kapalua Experience

Mexican golfer Abraham Ancer finished in the middle of the pack during last year's tournament at Kapalua. He finally got a feel of the golf course on the final day but it was too late. The first two rounds in the 70's did not help. However, that could not take away from a very good […]

Kevin Na Could Be One To Watch At Kapalua

Kevin Na performs well in Hawaii. Aside from his blowup last year at Kapalua (that 79 dropped him to 38th). It did inspire Na to rebound and win the Sony Open in his next appearance behind an amazing 61-65 weekend. Na also enjoyed quite the end run to 2020-21. He finished six consecutive times in […]

Phil Mickelson Returns To Kapalua After Long Time Away

Phil Mickelson gained entry into the opening "winners only" tournament by winning the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island. The last time Mickelson played at Kapalua was in 2001 when he finished 28th out of 33 golfers. The lefty American golfer had one top-20 finish after his major triumph. He takes risks, he misses a lot […]

Cameron Champ's COVID Diagnosis Forces Kapalua Withdrawal

Cameron Champ will not be able to participate in this weekend's Sentry Tournament Of Champions due to a COVID diagnosis. Champ withdrew on Tuesday. The good news for the American is that he is resting comfortably at home in Houston and is mostly asymptomatic. Last year's 3M Open winner had nice run where he finished […]

Lucas Glover Tries To Clean Slate After A Brutal 2021 Finish

American golfer Lucas Glover won the John Deere Classic in July of 2021. It was a brilliant performance spearheaded by an incredible 64 that Sunday. After that, things went south and quickly for Glover. He missed three cuts in the final five tournaments heading into the Fall. Then, the Fall featured not much better results […]

Cameron Davis May Have Challenge At Kapalua

Australian golfer Cameron Davis comes into 2022 after a rather disastrous Fall. In his last five tournaments, Davis has missed the cut three times. His other two results were 64th and 27th. Shooting four consecutive rounds in the 70's to end his PGA season was not the way Davis wanted to end 2021. His overall […]

D'Ernest Johnson Goes On COVID-19 List

Cleveland Browns running back D'Ernest Johnson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday after he tested positive for the virus. Johnson is vaccinated and will have a chance to clear the league's COVID protocols before the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The 25-year-old looked fresh and was impressive […]

Antonio Brown's Camp Claims He Was Too Injured To Play

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown's (ankle) friends were worried about the pain he was experiencing and encouraged him to see a top surgeon outside of the Buccaneers organization. Brown is known for having a high pain threshold, but the belief is that he probably shouldn't have been active in the Week 17 win […]

Quez Watkins Dealing With Knee Injury

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Quez Watkins (knee) practiced on a limited basis to begin the week on Tuesday. Watkins is second on the Eagles in catches (38), targets (55) and receiving yards (563), but he is still searching for his first touchdown of the season. Assuming he doesn't have any setbacks on Wednesday or Thursday, […]

Jalen Hurts Still On The Injury Report

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (ankle) remains on the team's injury report and was listed as limited in Tuesday's practice session. Hurts hasn't been running as much since missing Week 13 due to a sprained ankle, but he should be good to go to start in Week 18 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys this Saturday. […]

Miles Sanders Misses Practice Tuesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hand) did not take part in practice on Tuesday. Head coach Nick Sirianni said on Monday that the Eagles are hoping that Sanders will be available for the first round of the playoffs, so it's unlikely that he'll play in the Week 18 regular season finale on Saturday against […]
