Petr Mrazek Returns To Action Against His Former Team

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Petr Mrazek will be back in action on Saturday against Detroit. The former Red Wing has battled a groin injury for a few weeks. Mrazek's only appearance this season came on Oct. 14 against Ottawa. It wasn't a very good one as he surrendered three goals on 26 shots. However, the […]

Joe Thornton, Sam Bennett Out On Saturday

Florida Panthers forwards Joe Thornton (undisclosed) and Sam Bennett (upper body) won't be available for Saturday's clash with the Bruins. Thornton was also placed on Injured Reserve, meaning he's set to miss multiple games. Bennett's status is day-to-day. After the weekend, the Panthers are off until Thursday, so there's a good chance that he ends […]

Sidney Crosby, Jeff Carter Join Lineup On Saturday

Pittsburgh Penguins forwards Sidney Crosby (wrist) and Jeff Carter will play on Saturday against New Jersey. Crosby will make his season debut, while Carter is back in action after missing three games. He averaged a point per game in four outings before getting taken out by COVID-19. Crosby will center the top line with Jake […]

Nikola Jokic Probable On Saturday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's clash against the Timberwolves. On Tuesday, the reigning MVP bruised his right knee after colliding with Rudy Gobert during the matchup against the Jazz. Still, he managed to suit up on Friday against Luka Doncic and the Mavericks to finish with 16 rebounds, […]

Mike Conley Won't Play On Saturday

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley (knee) won't suit up against the Bulls on Saturday. With the team playing the front half of back-to-back outings, the 34-year-old will get the night off to rest his right knee. As a result, Joe Ingles should automatically show up on the radar as a viable DFS value option, with […]

Daniel Gafford To Miss Saturday's Clash Against Boston

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (quadriceps) won't play during Saturday's matchup against the visiting Celtics. He had been labeled with a doubtful tag heading toward the showdown, so the latest update shouldn't alarm fantasy managers by any means. As a result, Montrezl Harrell should benefit tremendously without Gafford, even more so since Robert Williams III […]

Robert Williams III Out Against Wizards

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) isn't available for Saturday's matchup in Washington. The 24-year-old is currently dealing with a Non-COVID-19 related sickness, so it will open the door for Al Horford and Grant Williams to benefit with some additional minutes and offensive chances against the Wizards. Montrezl Harrell, who will be starting for […]

Jets Activate Jarrad Davis From Injured Reserve

The New York Jets activated linebacker Jarrad Davis (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and elevated quarterback Josh Johnson to the 53-man roster from the practice squad. Davis will be making his season debut in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals after getting injured in the preseason, and he will likely draw the start on […]

Kahale Warring Promoted From Practice Squad

The Buffalo Bills elevated tight end Kahale Warring from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 8 game against the Miami Dolphins. With Dawson Knox (hand) out, Warring will likely serve as Tommy Sweeney's backup. While Sweeney did find the end zone in Week 6 before the team's bye week, he's unlikely […]

Jordan Howard, Richard Rodgers Promoted To Active Roster

The Philadelphia Eagles promoted running back Jordan Howard and tight end Richard Rodgers from the practice squad to the active roster for Week 8 against the winless Detroit Lions. Safety K'Von Wallace (shoulder) was also activated from Injured Reserve. Howard has yet to play in 2021, but he has appeared in 12 games for the […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Back From Injured Reserve

The Denver Broncos activated tight end Albert Okwuegbunam (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a source. Both Okwuegbunam and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle), who had been out since Week 1 with a high ankle sprain, will return to action in Week 8 against the Washington Football Team. Okwuegbunam has seen some looks […]

Jerry Jeudy Activated From IR, Expected To Return Sunday

The Denver Broncos activated wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, according to a source. Jeudy is on track to make his return in Week 8 against the Washington Football Team after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 1. The 22-year-old first-rounder from last year had six catches on seven targets […]

Jerami Grant Expected To Be In The Lineup On Saturday

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (oblique) is in line to play during Sunday's matchup against Orlando. The 27-year-old is currently dealing with a bruised right oblique, but it shouldn't stop him from seeing the court during what is expected to be Cade Cunningham's (ankle) official debut. Nonetheless, with the potential lingering effects of the ailment […]

Brandon Ingram Unlikely To Play Against The Knicks

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hip) is unlikely to suit up against the Knicks. A bruise on the right hip of the 24-year-old continues to plague him, which puts him in danger of also missing Tuesday's matchup in Phoenix. If he does indeed sit out against New York, Devonte' Graham and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would […]

Nerlens Noel Out Against Pelicans

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) will miss another one on Saturday. The veteran hasn't played this season as he continues to be plagued by lingering left knee soreness. His next chance to make it back will come on Monday evening against Toronto. However, in the meantime, Taj Gibson and Obi Toppin should continue […]

Daniel Gafford Doubtful On Saturday Night

Washington Wizards center Daniel Gafford (quadriceps) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the visiting Celtics. The former 2019 second-round pick injured his quad on Wednesday versus Boston. He, fortunately, didn't suffer any structural damage, but it appears as if he will need some more time to rest before getting back on the floor. In his […]

Robert Williams III A Game-Time Call For Saturday

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup in Washington. The big man is dealing with a sickness, although fortunately, it's of the non-COVID variety, which at least gives him a shot to suit up against the Wizards. Williams has played well so far, averaging a career-high 10.4 points, 9.2 boards, […]

Every week, this column will spotlight the first-year players who are ripe for a breakout performance. Oftentimes, rookies can provide some of the most value as under-the-radar options. Last week, several rookies had high-quality performances. Bengals receiver Ja'Marr Chase continued his rapid ascent into the league's upper echelon of wideouts by making eight receptions for […]

Baker Mayfield - Week 8 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to get the start against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 8. Mayfield missed his team's last game, the Thursday night contest in Week 7, thanks to a left shoulder injury. After getting in a full practice on Friday, he appears to be feeling well enough to suit […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (10/30/21): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

The weekend began with some monumental fantasy performances throughout the league, starting in Portland, where Paul George led the slate with nearly 57 fantasy points.

Preston Williams Won't Play In Week 8

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Preston Williams has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills and won't travel with the team. Williams wasn't listed on the team's final injury report on Friday, so he'll be a healthy scratch. The move is a sign that DeVante Parker (hamstring, shoulder), who is listed as questionable, […]

Seahawks Want To Get Rashaad Penny More Involved

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that he hopes to get running back Rashaad Penny more involved in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The former first-rounder saw his first action in Week 7 since the season opener when he suffered a calf injury that landed him on Injured Reserve, and he gained only […]

Seahawks Unsure If Chris Carson Will Return This Year

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) will miss his fourth straight game in Week 8 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and head coach Pete Carroll said there is no timeline for when Carson will return. Carroll couldn't even say if Carson would return this season. Carson initially felt discomfort in his neck in the preseason […]

Dak Prescott Will Be Game-Time Decision Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (calf) expected a decision to come on Saturday on whether he'd start on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings, but a source is saying that the decision is now expected to be delayed until game time. That creates a major headache for fantasy managers with the game being on Sunday […]

Sterling Shepard, Kadarius Toney Questionable For Monday

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (hamstring) and Kadarius Toney (ankle) are both listed as questionable for the Week 8 game on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs. Both receivers missed the Week 7 win over the Carolina Panthers, but they are both expected to return on Monday night in a game where […]

Saquon Barkley, Kenny Golladay Ruled Out

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) have been ruled out for the Monday night game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Barkley hasn't played since suffering a low ankle sprain in Week 5, while Golladay has been sidelined since Week 5 as well with a hyperextended knee. Both […]
