Ryan Getzlaf Questionable For Wednesday Night

Anaheim Ducks center Ryan Getzlaf is questionable for Wednesday's clash with Vegas after leaving Tuesday's 5-4 shootout win against the Kings with a lower-body injury. The Ducks captain logged just 2:48 in this season's first Freeway Face-Off and Sam Steel ended up seeing a lot of time with Adam Henrique and Troy Terry on the […]

Brandin Cooks Out Wednesday With Illness

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (illness) missed Wednesday's practice with a non-COVID-19-related illness. As long as Cooks is able to practice later this week, he should be good to go for the Week 13 tilt against the Indianapolis Colts. Cooks had his worst game of the season in Week 11 (two catches for 18 […]

Josh Hart Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest

New Orleans Pelicans small forward Josh Hart (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to a sore left knee. Hart's absence will mark his first since Oct. 27, as the 26-year-old has entrenched himself among the starting five this year. On pace to set new career highs with 11.1 points […]

Tyler Bertuzzi Out Because Of COVID-19 Protocols

Detroit Red Wings winger Tyler Bertuzzi will miss Wednesday's game against Seattle because of COVID-19 protocols.

Bertuzzi has notched nine goals and 18 points in 20 appearances this season, combining very well with Dylan Larkin […]

Damian Lillard Will Be Sidelined For At Least 10 Days

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard (abdominal) will miss at least the next four games due to lower abdominal tendinopathy, it was announced Tuesday. Lillard has battled the ailment during the early portion of the year, with it most recently keeping him sidelined Tuesday. The team has only revealed that it will reevaluate Lillard […]

Illness Keeps DeVonta Smith Off The Field

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver DeVonta Smith (illness) was a non-practice participant on Wednesday due to a non-COVID-19-related illness. As long as the 23-year-old first-rounder can get back on the practice field later this week, he should be fine to play in a Week 13 clash with the New York Jets. Smith is coming off […]

Drake Batherson Returns For Senators On Wednesday

Ottawa Senators right wing Drake Batherson will be available again on Wednesday against Vancouver after clearing COVID-19 protocols. Ottawa's top scorer hasn't played since Nov. 13. The 23-year-old boasts seven goals and 16 points in 14 appearances this season. He had an amazing four-point performance against Pittsburgh just before dropping out of the lineup. Batherson […]

Dewayne Dedmon Draws Start Wednesday

Miami Heat center Dewayne Dedmon has been elevated into the starting five for Wednesday's contest against Cleveland, taking the place of Bam Adebayo (thumb). In the small sample size of 2021-22, Dedmon has delivered more impressive production as a starter, averaging 6.3 points and 8.0 rebounds, as opposed to 5.1 points and 4.4 boards off […]

Boston Scott Out With Illness

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (illness) missed practice on Wednesday with a non-COVID-19-related illness. Scott saw a lot of touches in the fourth quarter of the Week 12 loss to the New York Giants after Miles Sanders left with an ankle injury. Jordan Howard (knee) was out and is unlikely to return in Week […]

Miles Sanders Limited With Ankle Injury

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) picked up an ankle injury in the Week 12 loss to the New York Giants and was limited in practice on Wednesday. Sanders didn't play in the fourth quarter on Sunday, ceding snaps to Boston Scott and rookie Kenneth Gainwell with Jordan Howard (knee) out. Howard is unlikely […]

Jonas Johansson Starts For Colorado On Wednesday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Jonas Johansson will get his fourth start of the campaign in Wednesday's matchup against Toronto. Darcy Kuemper was slated to start the contest, but he has picked up an upper-body injury and won't be available. Johansson is carrying a 2-1-1 record with a 2.92 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage. He's […]

Josh Giddey, Derrick Favors Will Miss Next Two Contests

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard/small forward Josh Giddey (illness) and center Derrick Favors (illness) have both been ruled out for the team's games Wednesday against Houston and Thursday vs. the Grizzlies. For Giddey, they will mark the first two absences of his career, as the No. 6 overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft has […]

Jordan Howard Not Back At Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (knee) missed practice on Wednesday. Howard missed practice all of last week and was ruled out, and he's not on track to make his return in Week 13 against the New York Jets. Miles Sanders and Boston Scott split the majority of the workload in last week's loss to […]

Nathan MacKinnon Returns To Action Against Toronto

Colorado Avalanche center Nathan MacKinnon (lower body) will return to action in Wednesday's clash with the Maple Leafs. He'll be back after missing eight straight games. MacKinnon's season has been heavily interrupted by health issues and thus he has made only eight appearances, going for 10 points in the games with 23 shots. MacKinnon's return […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Play Wednesday, Has No Minutes Cap

Dallas Mavericks power forward Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is a full go for Wednesday's game against New Orleans, as he will not face any minutes restriction despite battling a sprained right ankle. Porzingis had a dominant seven-game stretch in which he averaged 26 points and 9.3 boards from Nov. 10-23, showcasing his fantasy upside when healthy. […]

Phillip Lindsay, Adam Shaheen Limited Wednesday

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay (ankle) and tight end Adam Shaheen (knee) were limited in Wednesday's practice. Lindsay played 15 offensive snaps in his team debut in Week 12 and carried the ball 12 times for 42 yards behind Myles Gaskin. Lindsay's addition is obviously bad news for Salvon Ahmed's rest-of-season outlook, but Lindsay […]

Kevin Hayes Returns To Action On Wednesday

Philadelphia Flyers center Kevin Hayes (abdomen) will be back in the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Rangers. The 29-year-old has missed six straight games and he's skated just twice this season, posting one goal and one assist. Hopefully, Hayes can stay healthy for a longer period of time now. He enters the lineup as […]

Robert Williams III Faces Minutes Cap Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) will have an unspecified minutes restriction during Wednesday's contest against the 76ers. While it's a positive for fantasy managers to have Williams back -- particularly to matchup vs. Joel Embiid -- having played a combined 36 minutes since Nov. 15 is sure to keep his workload limited. When […]

Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney Miss Practice

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) and Kadarius Toney (oblique, quadriceps) both missed practice on Wednesday. Shepard hasn't played since Week 8. He's been productive when on the field in five games, but it's unrealistic to expect him to have a big workload if he's able to get back on the practice field […]

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Draws First Start Of Year Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks small forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot has been elevated into the starting five for Wednesday's game against Indiana. The start marks Luwawu-Cabarrot's first as a member of the Hawks, having appeared in 14 games off the bench in the season's first six weeks. Scarcely utilized, it would be surprising to see the 26-year-old suddenly snag […]

Kyle Rudolph, John Ross Miss Practice Wednesday

New York Giants tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) and wide receiver John Ross (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Tight end Kaden Smith (knee) also missed practice. Rudolph did not play in Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles, allowing Chris Myarick, who scored a touchdown, to see extra playing time alongside Evan Engram. If quarterback […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out Wednesday, May Miss More Time

Miami Heat small forward Jimmy Butler (tailbone) has been deemed unavailable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a tailbone contusion. Butler's absence has now reached two games, and it may not be coming to an end soon. With the team set to head out on a back-to-back weekend road trip in Indiana and […]

Auden Tate, Mike Thomas Miss Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers Auden Tate (calf) and Mike Thomas (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Tate and Thomas have been battling for snaps as the No. 4 receiver behind rookie Ja'Marr Chase, Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins all season long, but Tate hasn't been available since Week 7. He's caught three of four targets […]

Jaylen Brown Will Play Wednesday, Have Minutes Cap Raised

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game vs. Philadelphia, and he will also have his playing time ceiling raised to around the 32-minute mark. Brown entered play Wednesday averaging just a shade above 32 minutes per game for the season, so the move is essentially an indicator […]

Damien Williams Still Not Practicing

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (calf) missed another practice to kick off the week on Wednesday. Williams also missed practice all of last week before missing his third straight game in the Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since Week 8 and was surpassed on the RB depth chart […]

Cole Kmet Not Practicing Wednesday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (groin) was unable to practice on Wednesday due to a groin issue. Kmet has yet to find the end zone in his second NFL season, but he's coming off one of his best games of the year on Thanksgiving when he caught a season-high eight passes for 65 yards […]

Bam Adebayo Sustains Torn Thumb Ligament, Out Indefinitely

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (thumb) has not only been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Cleveland, he will be on the shelf for much longer. The dynamic 24-year-old big man has sustained a torn UCL in his right thumb and will need to undergo surgery, which is expected to keep him out of action […]

Allen Robinson II, Marquise Goodwin Not Practicing

Chicago Bears wide receivers Allen Robinson II (hamstring) and Marquise Goodwin (foot, ribs) both missed practice on Wednesday. Robinson has missed the team's last two games, while Goodwin was inactive last Thursday on Thanksgiving in the win over the Detroit Lions. The 28-year-old Robinson has just one touchdown on the year and is in the […]

Jaden McDaniels Ruled Out Wednesday, Jarred Vanderbilt In

Minnesota Timberwolves power forward Jaden McDaniels (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Wizards, while Jarred Vanderbilt (illness) has received the green light to suit up. McDaniels' status is not looking rosy for Friday's outing, either, as the 21-year-old did not travel with the team for its trip east. Conversely, Vanderbilt being […]

Corey Davis Feeling Better This Week

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (groin) said he's feeling better this week than he did last week, although he still didn't practice on Wednesday. Davis injured his groin in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins and didn't play last Sunday in the win over the Houston Texans. While the 26-year-old is off to […]
