Martin Necas Still Not In Lineup For Carolina Saturday

Carolina Hurricanes center Martin Necas was held out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the St. Louis Blues. Necas will miss another game but the expectation according to Rod Brind'Amour is this. The center could return sometime next week. For now, Necas is still "days away". He has six points in 11 games so […]

Nikita Zaitsev Placed In COVID-19 Protocols

Ottawa Senators defenseman Nikita Zaitsev was placed back in COVID protocol Saturday evening and will not play this weekend. Zaitsev was thought to have had a false positive result earlier in the day. The Ottawa defenseman has an assist in 11 games this season while playing 17:28 a night. The Senators have had eight players […]

Kevin Hayes Back In Flyers Lineup Saturday Night

Philadelphia Flyers center Kevin Hayes returns to the lineup Saturday night as Philadelphia plays in Dallas. Hayes has missed the entire regular season due to offseason surgery (abdominal/core). The center will be on the second line to start with Cam Atkinson and Joel Farabee. Power-play time is very possible (second unit at first) as well […]

Josh Richardson Won't Play On Saturday

Boston Celtics forward Josh Richardson (foot) will not suit up for Saturday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is a shame because Richardson was seeing a spike in usage with Jaylen Brown (hamstring) sidelined. However, Romeo Langford and Aaron Nesmith will now be asked to play more with both of them out on Saturday. Fantasy […]

Dillon Brooks To Start On Saturday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks will get the start in Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Brooks scored 20 points in his season debut earlier this week, so the Grizzlies will ride the hot hand. De'Anthony Melton will head to the second unit with Brooks starting on Saturday. Fantasy managers should expect Melton to […]

Goran Dragic To Start On Saturday

Toronto Raptors guard Goran Dragic will join the starting five for Saturday's game against the Detroit Pistons. He will jump back into the rotation after sitting out each of the last nine games. Dragic gets back into action due to the fact Fred VanVleet (groin) is sidelined. However, Vanvleet is listed as day-to-day, so Dragic […]

Ryan Ellis Returns To Flyers Lineup Saturday

Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ryan Ellis will return to the lineup Saturday night when Philadelphia faces the Dallas Stars. Ellis had missed almost four weeks with what was thought to be a day-to-day injury originally. The lower-body injury took a good deal longer to heal than expected. It appears Ellis will be eased into the lineup […]

Kelly Olynyk Out Versus Toronto

Detroit Pistons center Kelly Olynyk (knee) is out for Saturday's matchup against Toronto. The veteran is currently sidelined because of a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee. Nonetheless, Isaiah Stewart should get more run moving ahead without Olynyk in the lineup, although he isn't a consistent fantasy option.

Dillon Brooks Not On Saturday's Injury Report

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (hand) isn't listed on the league's official injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup against New Orleans. The 25-year-old missed his first 10 games of the year while working his way back from a fractured left hand. He returned on Wednesday against Charlotte and looked great, scoring 20 points throughout 26 […]

Aaron Rodgers Activated From COVID List

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been activated from the COVID list and will start on Sunday against the Seahawks. Rodgers missed last game after testing positive for COVID-19, with Jordan Love starting in his place. Love threw for just 190 yards against a struggling Chiefs defense, so the return of Rodgers is a […]

Julio Jones Placed On Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans have placed wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) on injured reserve after his hamstring retightened this week at practice. This will cost Jones at least the next three games. Jones has played in six games, catching 21 passes for 336 yards. Injuries have kept the star receiver from living up to his name. […]

Brandon Ingram Returning On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram will play on Saturday evening against the Grizzlies. The 24-year-old has missed his last seven games because of a bruise on his right hip. However, there is a chance he could be limited from a minutes standpoint, although he should still receive enough to lower the ceilings of Devonte' […]

Brandon Ingram Is Questionable On Saturday

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is questionable for Saturday's encounter against Memphis. The 24-year-old has missed his previous seven games while he continues to be plagued by a right hip contusion. Nonetheless, if he can't suit up against the Grizzlies, Garrett Temple, who had 17 points on Friday during the loss to Brooklyn, […]

Jonathan Bernier Yields Four Goals In New Jersey Defeat

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier allowed four goals in Saturday's 5-2 loss to the Boston Bruins. Bernier stopped 31 of 35 shots but could not find a few rebounds. Three of the goals he gave up were tucked in through his five-hole. The fourth was off a scramble where again, Bernier just could not […]

Jesper Bratt Has Another Strong Performance

New Jersey Devils left-winger Jesper Bratt picked up two more points on Saturday in a loss to the Boston Bruins. Bratt had a team-high five shots on goal and four scoring chances. Bratt had assisted on an earlier Dawson Mercer goal during the second period. Despite seeing less than 15 minutes of ice time, the […]

Tyler Herro Starting Again For Jimmy Butler

Miami Heat guard/forward Tyler Herro will enter the starting lineup against the Jazz. Jimmy Butler (ankle) remains out on Saturday because of a right ankle sprain, his second straight absence, so Herro has an excellent chance to remain one of the primary beneficiaries. While filling in for Butler on Thursday night against the Clippers, the […]

Dawson Mercer Tallies Goal And Assist In New Jersey Loss

New Jersey Devils center Dawson Mercer was at it again with a goal and assist on Saturday against the Boston Bruins. Mercer now has five points (two goals, three assists) in his last three games. He played over 16 minutes in the afternoon matinee and had more than two minutes of power-play time. The forward […]

Jeremy Swayman Allows Just Two Goals In Win Saturday

Boston Bruins goaltender Jeremy Swayman stopped 27 of 29 shots on Saturday as the Bruins defeated the New Jersey Devils 5-2. Swayman was impressive as he helped thwart all three power-play efforts from New Jersey. It was yet another quality start from the goaltender who apparently looks to be ahead of Linus Ullmark. For now, […]

Bam Adebayo Playing Against Utah

Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo (knee) will play against Utah. The 24-year-old has been a routine resident of the league's official injury report lately because of a left knee bruise. However, it hasn't stopped him from suiting up. With Jimmy Butler (ankle) out on Thursday against the Clippers, Adebayo stepped up admirably, finishing with 30 […]

Jimmy Butler To Miss Another One On Saturday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) won't play on Saturday against Utah. His omission from the lineup against the Jazz is his second straight absence, and it comes after the veteran exited Wednesday's outing against the Lakers because of a sprained right ankle. His next chance to make it back will be on Monday night […]

Charlie McAvoy Sets Up Three Boston Goals Saturday

Boston Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy assisted on three of the five Boston goals on Saturday. McAvoy also played a team-high 23:45 and that included significant chunks of time in all phases. It was McAvoy's setup on the power-play that led to the special teams tally which gave Boston a two-goal lead early in the second […]

Brad Marchand Scores Twice In Boston Win Saturday

Boston Bruins left-winger Brad Marchand scored two goals as Boston defeated New Jersey 5-2 Saturday afternoon. Marchand was effective in all phases once again versus the Devils. His power-play goal was big but his second goal proved to be the game-winner on Saturday. Marchand had five shots on goal in all and four scoring chances […]

Dallas Activates Michael Gallup, Elevates Lirim Hajrullahu

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (calf) has been cleared to return to action Sunday against the Falcons, while the team will have a new kicker in Lirim Hajrullahu. Greg Zuerlein remains sidelined under the league's health and safety protocols, opening the door for the 31-year-old from Malta to kick in his first NFL game. […]

Saints Defense A Dependable Option Against Titans

The New Orleans Saints defense draws a favorable matchup against the Titans in Week 10. The Saints' defense has shown an ability to put pressure on the opposing signal-caller while ranking 13th in total takeaways. Opposing defenses have been able to force quarterback Ryan Tannehill into more mistakes this year- meaning the Saints' defense should […]

Arizona Signs Tavien Feaster To Active Roster

Arizona Cardinals running back Tavien Feaster has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's contest against Carolina. Feaster's first crack in the NFL comes in the wake of Chase Edmonds (ankle) landing on injured reserve. While James Connor figures to hold down lead back duties for the time being, Feaster will be competing […]

Adam Trautman - Week 10 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman will take on the Titans in Week 10. Trautman caught four passes for 47 yards, seeing a season-high seven targets against the Falcons last week. The Dayton product has yet to find the end zone and does have four games where he has accumulated less than 20 receiving […]

Arizona Places Chase Edmonds On Injured Reserve

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) has landed on injured reserve due to his high ankle sprain, per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Edmonds was limited to just one carry last week with the injury, but he will now be out of the backfield mix until Week 14 against the Rams at the […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Week 10 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith will be tough to trust for fantasy purposes despite a good matchup against the Titans. Smith is coming off of his best game of the season, a four-catch, 53-yard effort against the Falcons. He'll get to face a Titans defense that has allowed the most receptions and yards, […]

Damien Harris Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns. Harris has found the end zone in each of his past five games, having taken a stranglehold on the lead back role for New England. Without Harris in the mix, the Patriots hope to turn to Rhamondre […]

Deonte Harris - Week 10 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Deonte Harris has some sleeper appeal against the Titans in Week 10. Harris has exceeded 50 yards in three of his last four games while accumulating a total of 24 targets in those four contests. The speedy receiver gets his best matchup of the year against the Titans' secondary. They've […]
