Melvin Gordon III 50-50 To Play Sunday Night

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (hip, shoulder) is 50-50 to play on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Vic Fangio. Gordon injured his hip on his first carry of the game in the Week 12 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but he returned immediately and finished […]

Justin Verlander's Astros Deal Not Official

Right-hander Justin Verlander's $50 million, two-year deal with the Houston Astros never was announced and presumably is not official. That means that Verlander and the Astros have to wait to finalize their new deal until a new Collective Bargaining Agreement is done. The league is officially in a lockout as of Thursday, meaning that no […]

Ryan Griffin - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin has seen four or more targets in three of his last four games. Sadly, Griffin has only surpassed 30 receiving yards in one of those contests. The good news is, his workload has increased with Tyler Kroft (chest) unavailable. Although, the lack of yardage does make Griffin a […]

Sterling Shepard Has An Outside Chance To Play

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) is doing light work at practice on Thursday and has an outside chance to play in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Shepard was listed as not practicing on Wednesday, so this represents some progress. But it's also not a ringing endorsement to consider him in fantasy […]

Braxton Berrios - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios put together a couple surprisingly solid performances to begin the season. However, his fantasy appeal has disappeared since then. In fact, Berrios has three or less targets in every game since Week 3. Last week, Berrios hauled in two receptions for 47 yards in the win over the […]

Kadarius Toney Seems Doubtful To Play

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (oblique, quadriceps) was working on a side field again on Thursday with a trainer and seems doubtful to play in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. It's Toney's second straight day of missed practice after he was inactive in the Week 12 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. […]

James Robinson Misses Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (heel, knee) did not practice on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. It's unclear yet if the Jaguars were just resting Robinson on Thursday or if he actually had a setback with heel and knee injuries that he's been managing in recent weeks. Regardless, fantasy managers should be […]

Jamison Crowder - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder is coming off his worst game of the season. Last week, he hauled in his lone target for five yards in the win. To be fair, it's not all his fault with quarterback Zach Wilson only targeting him once. Possibly, the chemistry between the two isn't there yet. […]

Delayed Fantasy Football Breakouts: Ep. 66 of The Operating Room

Kev Mahserejian (@RotoSurgeon) and director of analytics at PlayerProfiler Josh Larky (@JLarkyTweets) start the episode by discussing 2021 breakout hits and misses from Josh's preseason appearance on The Operating Room. Later on, Josh's 2021 delayed breakouts/"league winners" and Kev's 2022 breakouts are thrown in the ring to help you in fantasy moving forward. Be sure […]

Robert Spillane Lands On COVID-19 List

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed linebacker Robert Spillane on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Spillane has played in 10 games for the Steelers this year, with just one start. He's recorded 17 tackles (one for a loss). Offensive lineman Joe Haeg and linebacker T.J. Watt were placed on the COVID-19 list earlier this week. The 25-year-old […]

Elijah Moore - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets wide receiver Elijah Moore has been much more involved in the offense since the Week 6 bye. In fact, Moore has seen six or more targets in each of his last five games. That trend should continue against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. A defense that ranks 23rd in pass DVOA […]

Calvin Anderson Heading To Injured Reserve

The Denver Broncos are expected to place offensive tackle Calvin Anderson (ankle, knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Anderson is expected to recover in three to five weeks and will not need surgery. As long as Anderson doesn't have any setbacks along the way, the Broncos could get him back late in the season as […]

Phillip Lindsay Not Seen At Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Phillip Lindsay (ankle) was not seen at practice on Thursday at the portion open to the media. Lindsay was a limited practice participant on Wednesday, so this would represent a downgrade if he in fact is listed as missing Thursday's session. Friday will be big for the former Houston Texan and […]

Ty Johnson - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets running back Ty Johnson saw only six carries despite Michael Carter (ankle) being out last week. Although, those six carries were actually Johnson's highest total since Week 2. Despite that, Johnson wasn't able to do much with his chances with Tevin Coleman and Austin Walter getting a majority of the carries. It's […]

J.D. McKissic Misses Another Practice

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice for a second straight day on Thursday. McKissic scored the team's only two touchdowns (one rushing, one receiving) in the Monday night win over the Seattle Seahawks, but he suffered a head/neck injury late in the game and […]

Tevin Coleman - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets running back Tevin Coleman took over the lead-back job for last week's matchup against the Houston Texans. He rushed 11 times for 67 yards and hauled in two receptions for three additional yards. It was surprisingly a decent outing from Coleman, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited. The Jets offensive line […]

Javier Baez to Tigers - Fantasy Impact

The Tigers got in on the free-agent spending spree by adding infielder Javier Baez. He signed a six-year deal worth $140 million dollars and makes the type of statement that Detroit wants the rest of the baseball world to know. “It sends a message to the rest of baseball. The Tigers are here to compete.” […]

Bubba (@bdentrek) is joined by Bat Flip Crazy (@BatFlipCrazy). In tonight's episode, the guys begin their positional recaps with the first base position. They go over the top 15-20 first basemen according to the RazzBall Player Rater. Discuss the good and the bad of the catching position as well as answer some awesome listener questions. […]

Zach Wilson - Week 13 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) was able to fully practice on Wednesday. That means, Wilson should be in line to start against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Last week, Wilson put together a lackluster performance against the below average Houston Texans pass defense. It's unlikely going to get better against the Eagles […]

Miles Sanders Expects To Play Versus Jets

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) said he feels good and expects to play on Sunday in a plus matchup against the Jets. With Jalen Hurts (ankle) also battling an ankle injury, head coach Nick Sirianni had mentioned that Hurts would likely run less this weekend. That would likely mean more carries for Sanders […]

Adam Frazier to the Mariners - Fantasy Impact

In one of the more underrated moves this off-season, the Seattle Mariners acquired second baseman, Adam Frazier from the San Diego Padres. “He makes us a better, more complete team,” Mariners president of baseball operations Jerry Dipoto said of Frazier. “He does the things winning teams value.” He will head to the American League for the first […]

Antonio Brown Misses Practice Again on Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) was not seen at practice on Thursday as he continues to struggle coming back from an ankle injury. At this point, it would be safe to assume that Brown will miss Sunday's game against the Falcons, which will mean Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and Rob Gronkowski continue […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (12/2/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

We have a typically compact five-game slate on tap Thursday night, one that will be missing a trio of star guards in Ja Morant, Damian Lillard and Devin Booker due to injury. Neverthless, there are still plenty of top-shelf options to stock rosters with, as well as a number of very appealing mid-salary and value […]

Daniel Jones Trending Towards Playing

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) looks like he may be trending towards playing on Sunday against the Dolphins. Interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens said he expects Jones to practice today "like regular times." Obviously, we'll need to monitor practice to ensure that's the case, but Jones was able to finish the game last […]

Thursday Night Football MKF Prop Picks: New Orleans Saints vs Dallas Cowboys

The NFL season is rolling, and we cannot waste our opportunity to make some cash. Tonight, we kick off Week 13 with the New Orleans Saints hosting the Dallas Cowboys. On MKF, there are no massive tournaments where you have to get ridiculously lucky just to cash. You're just playing against the house, and the […]

Luguentz Dort Hits Four Shots From Deep During 19-Point Effort

Oklahoma City Thunder guard/forward Luguentz Dort had a very good 4-for-8 shooting night from deep against the Rockets on Wednesday and finished 7-for-13 overall from the field during a 19-point effort in a 114-110 loss. He registered four assists with two turnovers and had two rebounds, two steals and one block in 36 minutes. Dort […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Produces Season-High 39 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had more points than playing time on Wednesday against the Rockets, scoring a season-high 39 points in 38 minutes of action. He hit 12-for-26 from the field and 14-for-16 at the line, while recording four rebounds and two assists with one block and one turnover. Gilgeous-Alexander hurt his shooting […]

Jae'Sean Tate Goes Into Beast Mode Wednesday Night

Houston Rockets guard/forward Jae'Sean Tate produced a phenomenal performance against OKC on Wednesday, leading his team to a 114-110 victory with a career-high 32 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and five blocks. He shot 11-for-15 from the field and 9-for-10 at the foul line. A lot of the Rockets offense ended up going […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Stays Hot Against Milwaukee

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Kelly Oubre Jr. managed to keep up his good scoring form with a 25-point effort in Wednesday's loss to the Bucks, shooting 9-for-14 from the field and 5-for-9 from behind the arc. He added a pair of rebounds to his tally with one assist, one steal and three turnovers in 31 minutes […]
