Van Jefferson (WR, LAR) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 12% of Leagues ANALYSIS: DeSean Jackson has been waived by the Rams, but he was a non-factor in the offense regardless. He saw just 6% of snaps in Week 7 and didn't play any in Week 8. That has let second-year man Van Jefferson thrive in […]

Joel Embiid Not Listed On Injury Report

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) wasn't listed on the team's injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

However, with Tobias Harris and Danny Green (hamstring) ruled […]

D'Angelo Russell Ruled Out For Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard D'Angelo Russell (ankle) won't play on Wednesday against the Clippers. Russell was limited to just 17 minutes after injuring his ankle Monday- and won't be healthy enough to suit up for the upcoming contest.

Khris Middleton In Quarantine

Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer informed reporters that forward Khris Middleton has tested positive for COVID-19 and is currently in quarantine.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Do the Jets suddenly have an offense?

Eric Comrie Makes Another Start On Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie will earn another start on Tuesday against Dallas.

Comrie got […]

Noah Fant Lands On COVID-19 List

The Denver Broncos placed tight end Noah Fant on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday.
