Alex Barre-Boulet Replaces Patrick Maroon On Monday

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Alex Barre-Boulet will draw into the lineup on Monday against the Sabres, replacing Patrick Maroon (personal) on the third line.

Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Brian Elliott will make his first appearance of the season on Monday against Buffalo.

Saquon Barkley Initially Hoped For Week 8 Return

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and the team staff were initially hoping for a Week 8 return to action following his ankle sprain in Week 5 against the Dallas Cowboys.

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Kadarius Toney (ankle) could be available in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, depending on how much work he is able to get in practice this week, according to head coach Joe Judge.

J.D. McKissic Outsnaps Antonio Gibson In Week 7

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic out-snapped Antonio Gibson 46-30 in Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Gibson has been dealing with a shin injury that has been limiting his production the past couple of weeks, so that is certainly playing a factor in the increased playing time for McKissic. Moving forward, Gibson's […]

Jaylen Brown Tagged As Questionable For Monday

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out of Sunday's game with what the team is calling left knee tendinopathy. The Celtics might decide to play it safe and sit Brown for this game. Dennis Schroder would likely be asked to start again […]

Will Fuller Unlikely To Return In Week 8

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that wide receiver Will Fuller (finger) isn't expected to return from his injury in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. "Will is doing everything he can to get back. I don't think it's this week. But I think he's getting closer," Flores said. Fuller was suspended to begin […]

Al Horford Uncertain To Play Against Hornets

Boston Celtics forward Al Horford (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran big man continues to work his way back from COVID-19. He was able to play 30 minutes on Sunday, so it wouldn't be shocking to see Horford sit out here. He is still trying to get […]

Malcolm Brown, Jason McCourty To Go On Injured Reserve

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown (quadriceps) and safety Jason McCourty (foot) will be placed on Injured Reserve this week after getting injured in the Week 7 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. McCourty may end up needing surgery on his foot, according to sources, which would keep him out for the long term. Brown will […]

Bobby Portis Could Make Season Debut On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis (hamstring) has been sidelined to begin the season, but could see his first regular season action on Monday against the Indiana Pacers. The return of Portis would give the Bucks some much-needed depth up front. Brook Lopez (back) won't suit up, so the Bucks have been playing Giannis Antetokounmpo at […]

LaMarcus Aldridge To Rest On Monday

Brooklyn Nets center LaMarcus Aldridge (rest) won't suit up for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The veteran big man will sit this one out for rest purposes. That is not surprising news considering it's a back-to-back set and Aldridge was dealing with blood clots last season. His absence should mean more minutes for Paul […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Not Planning To Have Surgery During Season

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (shoulders) is playing through serious injuries to both of his shoulders, but he is planning to put off surgery during the season. OBJ fell hard on his sprained right shoulder just before halftime of Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos and was questionable to return in the second […]

Bruce Brown Listed As Probable For Monday

Brooklyn Nets guard Bruce Brown (calf) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Brown has missed the first two contests due to a right calf contusion. He was able to play in their most recent contest and lasted 27 minutes in that one. Brown will likely get consistent minutes if he […]

Miles Sanders' Ankle Sprain Not That Serious?

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (ankle) is believed to have suffered a low ankle sprain in the Week 7 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Sanders' injury looked much more serious, as he was carted off the field and never returned. Tests are still ongoing, so there is no firm word on […]

P.J. Washington Could Sit Out Against Boston

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics. The young forward was able to play 26 minutes on Sunday. The fact it's a back-to-back set could mean Washington sits out this game as a precaution. Jalen McDaniels would likely be asked to fill in, assuming Washington […]

Jerami Grant Could Miss Monday's Game

Detroit Pistons forward Jerami Grant (elbow) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. He is dealing with a left elbow infection, which does not sound good for his status on Monday. Fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if Grant is forced to miss time from this issue. Saddiq Bey and Hamidou Diallo, […]

Jaylen Waddle Continues Success In Week 7

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle has seen an uptick in targets with DeVante Parker (hamstring) sidelined. In Week 7, Waddle hauled in seven of his eight targets for 83 yards in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Those 83 yards were a career-high for Waddle as he continues to build chemistry with quarterback Tua […]

Mike Gesicki Makes Easy Work Of Falcons

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki has been one of the better options at his position over the last month or so. In Week 7, Gesicki hauled in seven of his eight targets for 85 yards and one touchdown in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The Dolphins are banged up at wideout, so Gesicki […]

Salvon Ahmed Gets Involved In Week 7

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed has seen an inconsistent workload through the first half of the regular season. In Week 7, Ahmed rushed seven times for 26 yards and hauled in two receptions for 26 yards in the loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Honestly, it's uncertain if Ahmed would've seen that many carries if […]

Malcolm Brown Gets Injured In Loss To Falcons

Miami Dolphins running back Malcolm Brown (quad) received the start during the Week 7 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Sadly, Brown only lasted five snaps before exiting the game and not returning. Brown finished with 10 rushing yards on three carries and one reception in the loss. It's uncertain if Brown is going to miss […]

Myles Gaskin Gets 15 Carries

Miami Dolphins running back Myles Gaskin saw an increased workload on the ground for the Week 7 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Technically, Malcolm Brown (quad) received the start, but exited the game and didn't return. His absence pushed Gaskin into a larger role during Sunday's loss. Gaskin rushed 15 times for 67 yards and […]

Tua Tagovailoa Tosses Four Touchdowns In Loss

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa more than doubled his season touchdown total in the Week 7 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. He completed 32-of-40 passing attempts for 291 yards with four touchdowns and two interceptions in the loss. On paper, it was a fairly solid day for Tua, but that really wasn't the case. Both […]

Joey Slye Converts Both Field Goal Attempts In Week 7 Loss

San Francisco kicker Joey Slye converted both field-goal attempts, including a 56-yarder, after missing the team's lone extra-point attempt during a 30-18 Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Making a long field goal in the wet conditions was one of the most impressive feats for the 49ers in a game where they struggled to […]

49ers Defense Recovers Two Fumbles In Week 7 Loss

The San Francisco 49ers defense surrendered 30 points but recovered two fumbles in a rainy 30-18 Week 7 loss to the Indianapolis Colts Sunday night. The defensive unit has not looked great this season, allowing 149 points, ranking 14th-most in the league. They aren't an excellent defense to stream but can be deployed against a […]

Hunter Henry Keeps Touchdown Streak Alive

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been a touchdown machine over the last few weeks. He has hauled in a touchdown in each of the last three games heading into the Week 7 matchup with the New York Jets. Henry finished with two receptions on four targets for 23 yards and one touchdown […]
