Miles Sanders Carted Off The Field Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) was carted off the field and taken to the locker room after suffering an ankle injury in the first quarter of the Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. He's officially questionable to return. Sanders had six carries for 30 yards and caught his only target for […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Finds The End Zone In Victory

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson carried the ball 14 times for 60 rushing yards and a touchdown, adding two catches for just one receiving yard in Sunday's 30-28 win over Miami. After three straight 100-scrimmage yard games, Patterson faltered a bit with just 61 yards, though he managed to salvage his day with the […]

Nerlens Noel Unlikely To Suit Up Against Orlando

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) is unlikely to play during Sunday's rematch against the Orlando Magic. This will mark the veteran's third-straight absence as he continues to be bothered by left knee soreness. Fortunately, Taj Gibson (personal) is available to help lessen the burden for Mitchell Robinson and should be considered a viable […]

Jaylen Brown Out Against Houston

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) won't be in the lineup against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Rozier is currently sidelined because of tendinitis in his left knee. With the team playing on Monday night, there is a chance that the 24-year-old also won't be available against the Charlotte Hornets. Josh Richardson will slide into […]

Matt Ryan Throws For 363 Yards, Two Scores

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan completed 25 of 40 passes for 336 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. Ryan's recent success continued against Miami, as he averaged a season-high 8.4 yards per attempt while recording his fifth straight multi-touchdown effort. The veteran signal-caller still offers next-to-nothing with his […]

Taj Gibson Available Against Visiting Magic

New York Knicks forward/center Taj Gibson (personal) is available for Sunday's matchup against Orlando. The veteran hasn't played this season due to the birth of his child. As a result, Obi Toppin may see a reduction in minutes. However, with Nerlens Noel (knee) labeled as doubtful and in danger of missing his third-straight contest, Toppin […]

Josh Gordon Sees One Target In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon only saw one target in an ugly Week 7 loss against the Tennessee Titans and finished with zero receptions on the day. Gordon had been expected to see more playing time, but he is still struggling to find his footing in this offense and is doing little to […]

Byron Pringle Leads Chiefs In Receiving In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle caught five balls and was the team leader with 73 yards in an ugly loss versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Pringle got some rave reviews during training camp and has gone over 50 receiving yards in three games, but has gone for 23 yards or less […]

Terry Rozier Will Miss Sunday's Matchup

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) won't play during Sunday's clash in Brooklyn. Rozier missed the opener because of a sprained right ankle but did manage to suit up for the team's last outing versus the Cleveland Cavaliers, albeit he only saw 23 minutes of work. His next chance to make it back will come […]

Travis Kelce Sees 12 Targets In Ugly Loss

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was one of the lone bright spots in an otherwise ugly loss versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Seeing 12 targets on the afternoon, Kelce was able to haul in seven balls for 65 yards. It wasn't his best performance of the season, but it was a […]

Blake Griffin Resting On Sunday

Brooklyn Nets forward Blake Griffin (rest) won't play on Sunday against the Hornets. With the team playing its first of back-to-back outings, the veteran will get the afternoon off. LaMarcus Aldridge, who exploded on Friday evening against the Philadelphia 76ers by recording 23 points, should get additional minutes behind Nicolas Claxton without Griffin in the […]

Tyreek Hill Hauls In Six Balls In Loss

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill caught six of his nine targets for 49 yards and rushed one time for 18 yards in a blowout loss versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 7. Dealing with a quad injury that kept him sidelined from practice this week, Hill was able to suit up and make […]

Darrel Williams Doesn't Do Much In Week 7

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams had a quiet afternoon in a Week 7 loss versus the Tennessee Titans. Williams only got five carries during the contest and picked up 20 yards. He also caught three balls for 30 yards. The Chiefs offense got obliterated and that would lead to Williams seeing a low […]

Patrick Mahomes Helped Off The Field

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (head) took a hard hit to the head/neck area late in Sunday's game against the Titans and had to be helped off of the field. Mahomes was later seen walking around on the sidelines, so the injury might not be as bad as it looks, but Chad Henne will likely […]

Sam Darnold Benched In Week 7

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has been benched in the second half of the team's Week 7 contest against the Giants. He was 16-for-25 for 111 yards and an interception. At one point this year, Darnold led the NFL in rushing touchdowns, but his early success has vanished, as he's thrown seven picks in the […]

Peyton Barber A Healthy Scratch Again

Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber is a healthy scratch once again, making this the third week in a row that Barber won't be in the lineup. He's clearly only on this roster to be an emergency play if either Josh Jacobs or Kenyan Drake are injured. The Raiders will also be without tight […]

O.J. Howard Will Play In Week 7

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (ankle) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Chicago Bears. With Rob Gronkowski (lung/ribs) out, Howard should see an uptick in usage this week. He's coming off a strong showing, with six catches for 49 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers looking for a late window […]

Fantasy Basketball 9-Cat Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 2

The NBA is back, y'all! Hopefully the first week of fantasy basketball treated you well. If it didn't — well, we're here for you. These recommendations are for 9-cat leagues, but if you play in another format, there's a good chance that the information here can still help you. We'll be looking at centers, forwards, […]

Nico Collins, Chris Conley Will Play

Houston Texans wide receivers Nico Collins (foot) and Chris Conley (neck) will both play on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. Collins should play more snaps than Conley and could be viewed as a desperation play in deep leagues since he'll likely see around five targets, while Conley should be completely off of the fantasy radar […]

Zach Wilson Officially Ruled Out

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (knee) will not return to Sunday's game against the Patriots. The No. 2 overall pick was 6-for-10 for 51 yards, but exited in the first half after being hit on back-to-back plays. Mike White will quarterback the Jets for the rest of Sunday's game and possibly for longer, something […]

D'Andre Swift, T.J. Hockenson Active

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) are both active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. Both players were limited in practice this week, but will suit up against a tough Rams defense. Swift is a high-end RB2 play while Hockenson is always a TE1 play at […]

Sam Bennett Scores A Goal In Panthers Win

Florida Panthers forward Sam Bennett scored his fourth goal of the season Saturday. Florida knocked off Colorado 4-1. Bennett now has four goals and one assist in five Panthers games. He is centering the Panther's third line playing alongside Owen Tippett and Jonathan Huberdeau. Florida is going to be a force this season. Look for […]

Sony Michel Active For Week 7

Los Angeles Rams running back Sony Michel (shoulder) is active for the team's Week 7 contest against the Detroit Lions. Michel has been a clear-cut backup to Darrell Henderson Jr. this season and isn't getting a ton of work, but fantasy managers who are dealing with bye week issues could put Michel in as a […]

Darren Waller Inactive For Week 7

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller (ankle) showed up on Saturday's injury report. Now, he's officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Eagles. In what's already a terrible week for fantasy managers with injuries and bye weeks, Waller being a game-time scratch is an issue. If you were counting on Waller, there's not a […]

Mathieu Perreault Collects Hat Trick Saturday

Winnipeg Jets forward Mathieu Perreault had a big Saturday for Montreal, compiling a hat trick. The Canadiens defeated the Red Wings 6-1 to pick up their first win of the season. Perreault, a third-line centerman for Montreal with the hat trick, has three goals and one helper in five games. However, being more of a […]

Jonnu Smith Questionable To Return In Week 7

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Smith has two catches for 52 yards in the game, plus a five-yard carry. If he's unable to return, Hunter Henry would see an expanded role. Henry has been fairly inconsistent this season due to […]

Zach Wilson Goes To Locker Room

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson has gone to the locker room with a knee injury, with Mike White replacing him. Wilson is officially listed as questionable and was seen walking with "a clear hitch in his step," according to Mike Giardi of the NFL Network. Wilson is 6-for-10 for 51 yards in the game. […]

Paul Stastny Lights The Lamp Twice Saturday

Winnipeg Jets forward Paul Stastny scored twice in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Predators. The veteran centerman has compiled two goals and three assists through the first five games of the season. Stastny is centering the team's first line, and he has stepped up his game with the absence of critical players Blake Wheeler and […]

Frederik Andersen Makes 27 Saves In Victory

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen made 27 saves in Saturday's 5-1 victory against the Blue Jackets. Andersen has been perfect so far, improving to 4-0-0 with a 1.75 goals against average and .944 save percentage through four starts. Andersen has a chance to post career-best numbers in his first season as a member of the […]
