Jermar Jefferson Out Sick Thursday

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jermar Jefferson (illness) missed practice on Thursday and was added to the Week 14 injury report. There is a flu bug going around the Lions locker room, so that's likely what Jefferson is dealing with. He should have a good chance to play this weekend against the Denver Broncos, and […]

Cam Talbot Goes For Sixth Consecutive Win Thursday

Minnesota Wild goaltender Cam Talbot attempts to win his sixth straight start on Thursday versus the San Jose Sharks. The goalie has faced 30 or more shots in seven consecutive appearances and Talbot has four quality starts during the streak. He has seen his goals-against average dip to a season low 2.62 and his save […]

Dustin Poirier Can Recapture The UFC Crown

After his defeat to arguably the greatest lightweight of all time, Dustin Poirier (28-6) has dusted the dirt off his shoulders and won three straight fights to find himself in the lightweight title bout to headline UFC 269 on Saturday. With some of the best boxing in all of MMA, Poirier is set to challenge […]

Jared Goff Back At Practice Thursday

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff (illness) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after sitting out with an illness on Wednesday. Goff said he played through the flu in the Week 13 win over the Minnesota Vikings and was dealing with it for the last couple of days. He's feeling much better now, though, […]

Jake Oettinger Starts Back End Of Back-To-Back For Dallas

Dallas Stars goaltender Jake Oettinger starts against the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night. The Stars finally lost on Wednesday night after blowing a 3-1 and 4-2 lead to the Vegas Golden Knights. It will not be an easy loss to rebound from. However, Oettinger is 5-0 on the season (seven goals allowed) while battling […]

Ryan Tannehill - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill struggled mightily in his previous game, throwing for 93 yards with a touchdown and an interception while adding 24 yards on five rushes in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. He is expected to get one of his top targets back, and Julio Jones (hamstring) is set […]

Julianna Pena Earns A Title Shot Saturday

Julianna Pena (10-4) has a chance of a lifetime when she faces the women's MMA GOAT in Amanda Nunes in the co-main event of UFC 269 on Saturday. 2-2 in her last four bouts, Pena is without a doubt the biggest underdog, according to DraftKings, with a salary of $6,500. In her career, four of […]

Ethan Bear Scratched From Carolina Lineup Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Ethan Bear was scratched on Thursday night against the Calgary Flames. He is not battling any kind of injury. Bear had struggled a bit in his past three games seeing bottom pairing ice time. He then compounded the less time with more mental mistakes. Rod Brind'Amour seemed to think that maybe a […]

D'Andre Swift Hasn't Practiced This Week

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (shoulder) missed another practice on Thursday. Having not practiced yet this week, it's looking more and more likely that Swift will miss his second straight game with a shoulder sprain, although the Lions said that he has been improving. With Swift out last week in the Lions first win […]

Amanda Nunes Looks For 13th Straight Win

You will find to find someone in the MMA community who will argue with the fact that Amanda Nunes (21-4) is the greatest women's mixed martial artist of all time. On Saturday, she can continue to cement that legacy with a bantamweight title defense against Julianna Pena in the co-main event of UFC 269. Seventeen […]

Adam Boqvist Suffers Injury, Exits Game Thursday

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Adam Boqvist suffered an upper-body injury during the second period on Thursday against the Anaheim Ducks. The defender had nine points in 17 games and was enjoying more and more time among the top-four Columbus defensemen. Boqvist even had six goals in 17 games including three of his nine points on […]

Nico Collins Looks Good To Go For Week 14

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Nico Collins (thigh) put in a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Collins looks good to go for the Week 14 game against the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday. The 22-year-old third-rounder played 62% of the offensive snaps in the blowout loss to the Indianapolis […]

Santiago Ponzinibbio Set To Face Another Tough Striker

Few welterweights have had the career of Santiago Ponzinibbio (28-4). A veteran of the UFC since 2013, Ponzinibbio has secured five finishes in the Octagon alone. Of his 28 career wins, 23 have come via finish, with 17 of those coming by knockout/TKO. Rebounding after a first-round knockout in January, Ponzinibbio was able to earn […]

Frederik Andersen Goes For Consecutive Road Wins Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen faces a stern road test against the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Andersen bounced back after three straight losses as he stopped 16 of 18 shots on Tuesday in Winnipeg. There is a little bit of concern with the starting goalie as he has not had a save percentage above […]

Cam Reddish Hopeful To Return On Friday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (wrist) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He has missed each of the last four games due to a left wrist sprain. The Hawks desperately need Reddish back with their roster extremely shorthanded. Solomon Hill (hamstring) is done for the season, and Bogdan Bogdanovic (ankle) […]

Jacob Markstrom Gets Start Versus Carolina On Thursday

Calgary Flames goaltender Jacob Markstrom will try and bounce back on Thursday after a tough loss to the Vegas Golden Knights. Markstrom has seen less shots lately (30 or less in four of his previous five starts). He has three wins in that stretch as the goaltender is enjoying one of the best seasons in […]

Richaun Holmes To Miss Multiple Games

Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (eye) is expected to miss at least two games, but could possibly sit out more than that. He underwent a procedure to repair a right eye laceration. Holmes suffered the injury late in November, but has been able to play through the issue. It sounds like the issue was too […]

D'Angelo Russell Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He has missed each of the last two games, which has freed up more minutes for Malik Beasley. That should remain the case if Russell is unable to play again. Beasley has been a strong fantasy option while […]

David Johnson Practicing In Full This Week

Houston Texans running back David Johnson (illness, thigh) has practiced each of the last two days after being inactive in the Week 13 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. It puts him on track to play this Sunday when the team faces the Seattle Seahawks. Rex Burkhead was Houston's lead back last Sunday in the blowout […]

Now Is The Time For Geoff Neal To Turn It Around

With back-to-back losses after five straight Octagon wins, Geoff Neal (13-4) is in dire need of a big victory on Saturday to get himself back on a path to the top of the welterweight division. Scoring a big knockout victory on the Contender Series, four of his following five wins came as knockout/TKO victories, including […]

Jaylen Brown Ruled Out Against Suns

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. This marks the fifth game in a row that Brown has missed due to a hamstring issue. Dennis Schroder should remain in the starting five and have strong DFS appeal for Friday. After this upcoming contest, the Celtics […]

Keldon Johnson Unlikely To Play On Saturday

San Antonio Spurs guard Keldon Johnson (ankle) is not expected to suit up for Saturday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He already missed Tuesday's contest and will sit out on Thursday as well. Head coach Gregg Popovich mentioned Johnson is unlikely to be healthy enough to play during their rematch with Denver on Saturday. Keita […]

Cody Grabrandt In Need Of A Big Win Saturday

Though he has losses in four of his last five contests, Cody Garbrandt (12-4) is always one strike away from a big knockout, as evidenced in his one victory over a five-fight span. Ten of Garbrandt's 12 career wins have come by knockout/TKO, showing his ability to get a big finish. Facing Kai Kara-France this […]

Devin Vassell Available Against Nuggets

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (quad) will be available for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was hopeful to play coming into this contest. It sounds like he'll likely absorb more minutes with Keldon Johnson (ankle) sidelined. Vassell has proven to be a reliable option when healthy. He should be a popular DFS […]

Alex Collins Remains Limited In Practice

Seattle Seahawks running back Alex Collins (abdomen) put together his second straight limited practice on Thursday and is expected to suit up in Week 14 versus the Houston Texans. Collins has been dealing with an abdomen injury and missed Week 13, but is expected to take over as the primary running back in Week 14. […]

Will Barton Available On Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. He has been dealing with a right knee contusion, but appears fine for this matchup. That being said, fantasy managers should make sure Barton is in their lineups for Thursday's slate. He should be the second scoring option on […]

Kai Kara-France Set To Face Dangerous Striker

With a big first-round knockout in March, Kai Kara-France (22-9) returns to action on Saturday looking for back-to-back victories when he faces off with Cody Garbrandt at UFC 269. Prior to the knockout win, it had been eight victories since Kara-France earned a finish. Throughout his career, Kara-France has scored a knockout/TKO 11 times out […]

DK Metcalf Misses Second Straight Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot, illness) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. The big wide receiver has been getting routine rest on his foot throughout the week this year, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly concerned about his status entering Week 14 versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Instead, you should be […]

Gabriel Davis - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis has put together a few decent performances this season. However, Davis is often times lost in the shuffle, but was able to haul in a touchdown last week. He has a chance of being a useful option again versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14. A secondary that […]

Dawson Knox - Week 14 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox struggled last week, but it's tough to put the blame on him. He hauled in two receptions for 14 yards, but it was nearly impossible for anyone to catch the ball with the ridiculous wind speed. The hope is that Knox will rebound against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in […]
