John Gibson Hopes To End A Losing Streak

Anaheim Ducks goaltender John Gibson will try to end a four-game losing streak in Sunday's home game against Montreal. The 28-year-old made a strong start to the season but has now given up four goals in four straight outings, which has dropped his record to 2-2-2. Gibson owns a 3.07 goals-against average for the season […]

Philipp Grubauer Goes For Third Straight Victory On Sunday

Seattle Kraken goaltender Philipp Grubauer will hope to post a third consecutive victory on Sunday against the Rangers.

Joonas Korpisalo Takes On Devils On Sunday

Columbus Blue Jackets goaltender Joonas Korpisalo will be in the crease for Sunday's meeting with New Jersey.

Dustin Tokarski Makes Third Start On Sunday

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Dustin Tokarski will get his third start of the season in Sunday's matchup against Los Angeles. The 32-year-old has started the campaign nicely, putting together a 1-0-1 record with a 1.41 goals-against average and a .950 save percentage. Buffalo has been a surprise package early in the season and starting netminder Craig […]

Tutu Atwell Questionable To Return

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. The rookie has mainly served as a kick returner this season, with just 10 offensive snaps all year, so there's not much fantasy impact to an Atwell injury, unless you're in a league with kick return […]

Nino Niederreiter Out With A Lower-Body Injury

Carolina Hurricanes winger Nino Niederreiter (lower body) missed his first game of the season on Sunday and is expected to be out for multiple weeks, according to head coach Rod Brind'Amour. The Swiss speedster had just picked up some momentum with two goals in three games. He boasts three points for the whole campaign with […]

Chris Boswell Out With Concussion

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Browns. Punter Pressley Harvin will serve as the kicker for the rest of the game, but don't expect to see the team kick very much, if at all. The team has already chosen to go for two […]

Mathieu Perreault Set To Miss Multiple Weeks

Montreal Canadiens forward Mathieu Perreault (eye) is expected to miss two to three weeks of action. Canadiens head coach Dominique Ducharme has noted that Perreault has been dealing with an eye injury for a while.

Volkan Oezdemir Drops Four Of Last Six Fights

After winning three straight fights coming into the UFC, Volkan Oezdemir has now dropped four of his last six UFC contests after losing a unanimous decision to Magomed Ankalaev in Saturday's UFC 267 main-card opener. Getting out-struck by the Russian, Oezdemir was only able to land 48 significant strikes (56 total strikes) in 15 minutes […]

Rob Gronkowski Will Play Against Saints

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (ribs) will be active for Sunday's meeting with the New Orleans Saints after missing the past four games. Gronkowski was looking like his old self earlier in the season, with four touchdowns over the first two weeks of the season. It's unclear if Gronk will get a full […]

Magomed Ankalaev Takes Unanimous Decision

Continuing his hot run in the UFC, Magomed Ankalaev earned a unanimous-decision win over Volkan Oezdemir to open up the main card of UFC 267 on Saturday. Statistically, Ankalaev was able to out-strike the kickboxer by landing 66 significant strikes (76 total strikes) while only securing one of his four takedown tries. Improving to 16-1 […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Active, J.J. Taylor Inactive

The New England Patriots continue to play musical chairs with the team's running backs, as Rhamondre Stevenson is active for Week 8 while J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch despite scoring a pair of touchdowns last week. It appears that New England is just going to continue to decide on game day who out of […]

Chris Boswell Questionable To Return

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell is being evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit on a fake field goal. If Boswell is unable to return, punter Pressley Harvin will take over kicking duties, but expect the Steelers to look to free agency for a Boswell replacement if he is concussed and has to miss […]

Jalen Reagor Out, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Questionable

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions, while wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (ankle) is questionable to return. The Eagles won't have a lot of weapons at receiver, so expect to see a little more of Quez Watkins and Greg Ward, but also don't be shocked to […]

Broncos Defense Won't Have Von Miller In Week 8

Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller (ankle) won't play against the Washington Football Team on Sunday. Miller suffered the ankle injury last week and wanted to play in Week 8, but the team's medical staff decided to keep Miller off the field to be safe. Miller has 4.5 sacks and nine quarterback hits this season. His […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/31/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

As we close out the weekend with an abbreviated four-game Halloween "Main Slate," we can take a look back at some of the spooky performances from around the league on Saturday.

Damien Williams Questionable To Return Against 49ers

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the 49ers. Williams opened the year as the backup for David Montgomery and now is serving as the backup for rookie Khalil Herbert. Williams had two carries for a loss of three yards before exiting on Sunday. If he's unable […]

Jack Conklin Carted Off The Field Sunday

Cleveland Browns right tackle Jack Conklin was carted off the field on Sunday against the Steelers with an apparent arm/wrist injury. Blake Hance has come into the game at right tackle to relieve Conklin, who missed the previous two games with a knee injury. Against this Steelers front, not having a player as good as […]

Jalen Reagor Questionable To Return In Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. Reagor has a zero-yard reception, as well as two carries for 21 yards in the game, but was carted to the locker room. The second-year wideout is a key piece of a shallow receiving corps — if […]

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) didn't travel with the team in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons, but he's on track to come off Injured Reserve for the Week 9 contest against the New England Patriots. The Panthers should know more about McCaffrey's status when they begin their practice preparations for the week […]

Trey Lance Could Be Starting Soon

The San Francisco 49ers have lost four games in a row heading into a Week 8 matchup with the Chicago Bears, and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggled badly in a Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. With rookie first-rounder Trey Lance (knee) returning from a sprained knee this week, he could be on the field […]

Jalen Ramsey Active Against Texans

Los Angeles Rams defensive back Jalen Ramsey (illness) is not listed on the team's inactive list ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the struggling Texans. His omission from the most recent report means he will be good to go against Houston on Sunday. Although most fantasy managers don't need much convincing that Davis Mills […]

D'Andre Swift Officially Active On Sunday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is good to go for Sunday's showdown against the Eagles. The 22-year-old has been riding the injury report since he injured his groin during the preseason. However, he has continued to play despite the consistent questionable designation. Nonetheless, with Jamaal Williams (illness, thigh) out for Week 8, Swift […]

Pharaoh Brown Inactive In Week 8

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown (thigh) is inactive for Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Brown was added to the Week 8 injury report on Thursday and missed Friday's practice. The 27-year-old has only 12 catches on his 18 targets for 114 yards in seven games (six starts) this year for […]

Trent Williams Officially Active For Week 8

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams (ankle, elbow) is officially active for Sunday's bout against the Bears. The veteran was expected to play in Week 8 all along, although the official confirmation is undoubtedly welcome news, especially after the 33-year-old missed the Week 7 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. With the Chicago defense making […]

Corey Davis Officially Inactive For Jets

New York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) is officially inactive for the Week 8 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Tight end Tyler Kroft (back), who was questionable coming into the game, will play. With Davis officially out, the Jets will likely be running with Jamison Crowder, Keelan Cole and rookie Elijah Moore […]

Auden Tate Inactive For Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Auden Tate (thigh) has been ruled out for the Week 8 game against the New York Jets on Sunday. In addition, rookie running back Chris Evans (hamstring) will miss the Halloween game this weekend. Tate has found the end zone once this season, but otherwise he has only three receptions for […]

Jamaal Williams To Miss Sunday's Matchup Against Philly

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams (thigh, illness) won't play on Sunday against the Eagles. Williams had been riding a questionable tag but still practiced, albeit limited, throughout the week. This is a tough pill to swallow for managers, especially those in deeper formats benefiting from his above-average production. Nonetheless, it appears as if D'Andre […]

T.Y. Hilton Returning In Week 8

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) is active for the Week 8 game against the Tennessee Titans. Hilton made his season debut in Week 6 by catching all four of his targets for 80 yards, but he sat out again last week. The 31-year-old has had a tough time staying healthy later in his […]
