Columbus Blue Jackets winger Patrik Laine won't be able to help his team for four to six weeks after he suffered an oblique strain in Wednesday's 5-4 overtime win against Colorado.

Alexandar Georgiev Guards The Cage Friday Night

New York Rangers goaltender Alexandar Georgiev will make his third start of the season in Friday's matchup against Edmonton. The Blueshirts also play on Saturday against Calgary, so head coach Gerard Gallant is spreading the workload around among his goalies. Georgiev had an awful season debut on Oct. 13 in a 5-1 loss to Washington, […]

Eric Comrie Will Make A Second Consecutive Start On Friday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie will make a second consecutive start on Friday against Chicago. He was thrown into action on Tuesday against Dallas when Connor Hellebuyck was away from the team for personal reasons, and the Jets No. 1 is now battling an illness. Comrie beat the Stars 4-3 in a shootout to improve […]

Graham Gano - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has been rock solid this season and has scored at least seven points in three of his last five games. He is 16-for-18 in field-goal tries and a perfect 10-for-10 in extra-point attempts. The Raiders defense is 12th in the league against fantasy kickers and allows 6.6 points per […]

Marlon Vera Looking For Big Name To Add To His Resume

Marlon Vera (19-7-1) has faced several top-notch talents recently and gave Sean O'Malley his first loss while going the distance with Jose Aldo.

Frankie Edgar Hoping To Turn His Fortunes Around

Very few fighters in the UFC have the tenure of former champion Frankie Edgar (24-9-1).

A tough wrestler with the ability to take his opponents through 15 minutes of […]

Killian Hayes Ruled Out For Friday’s Game

Detroit Pistons point guard Killian Hayes (thumb) will be sidelined for Friday's contest against Brooklyn due to a sprained left thumb. Hayes, who had started each of Detroit's first eight games, has scuffled mightily from the field to begin the season, shooting just 31 percent overall. In his absence, Cory Joseph, Cade Cunningham, and Saben […]

Pascal Siakam May Return Next Week

Toronto Raptors forward Pascal Siakam (shoulder) could return as early as next week, according to head coach Nick Nurse. Siakam hasn't played this season after he underwent surgery back in June to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 27-year-old will most likely be slowly integrated back into the mix and should see […]

Donovan Mitchell Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's matchup against Miami due to a sprained right ankle. The ailment sidelined Utah's leading scorer Thursday, allowing Joe Ingles to slot into the starting five. Jordan Clarkson erupted for a 30-point showing off the bench, as Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike […]

Jaylen Brown Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown (hamstring) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup vs. the Mavericks due to a tight right hamstring. Brown was hampered by the issue Thursday, even as he logged his fifth game this season with at least three triples made. When Brown missed his first contest of the year […]

Lauri Markkanen To Miss Another Game

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Lauri Markkanen won't play on Friday against the Raptors as he continues to be sidelined by the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19. Markkanen wasn't available on Wednesday for the clash with Portland, and neither was Kevin Love, who remains out for the same reason. As a result, rookie Evan Mobley […]

Anthony Davis Earns Questionable Tag For Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers power forward/center Anthony Davis (thumb) has been deemed questionable to play in Saturday's contest against Portland due to a sprained right thumb. Davis has been sturdy to open the season, averaging a robust 25.4 points and 11.9 boards per contest, while adding 2.3 blocks for good measure. His role for L.A. with […]

Charlotte Loses P.J. Washington For Next Two Games

Charlotte Hornets power forward/center P.J. Washington (elbow) has been ruled out both for Friday's contest against Sacramento, along with Sunday's matchup vs. the Clippers due to a left elbow hyperextension. With the team planning to reevaluate him next week, his odds of suiting up Monday against the Lakers don't look particularly strong either. Washington has […]

Dillon Brooks Remains Sidelined On Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks (hand) remains out ahead of Friday's matchup with Washington. Brooks hasn't played yet this year as he continues to recover from a fracture in his left hand. However, he has been practicing, so it appears as if his return is imminent. In the meantime, De'Anthony Melton will remain in the […]

Nicolas Claxton Faces Multi-Week Absence

Brooklyn Nets center Nicolas Claxton (illness) will remain sidelined for approximately another two weeks as he is set to be built back up to rejoin the team, per head coach Steve Nash. Claxton has already missed Brooklyn's four most recent outings, ceding center minutes to the veteran group of LaMarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, and Paul […]

Gary Harris Returns For Friday’s Contest

Orlando Magic shooting guard Gary Harris (ankle) has been cleared to take the floor Friday against San Antonio, ending his absence at two games. Harris has been utilized as a bench piece for the Magic in the early portion of the year, averaging just 6.3 points per game. As Orlando prioritizes development from its young […]

Jakob Poeltl Out Again On Friday Night

San Antonio Spurs center Jacob Poeltl won't play during Friday's matchup against Orlando, as expected. Poeltl remains out while adhering to the league's health and safety protocols surrounding COVID-19.

Kyle Kuzma Rejoins Starting Five Friday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Kyle Kuzma (forearm) has been given the green light to suit up for Friday's contest against the Grizzlies, reclaiming his spot among the starting five. Kuzma departed Washington's previous outing due to a right forearm contusion, but he sounds healthy enough that fantasy managers should have no hesitation in deploying him. […]

Geoff Swaim - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tennessee Titans tight end Geoff Swaim is the team's primary blocking tight end and logged 78% of the snaps in Week 8. He was used in the red zone and caught his first touchdown of the season in last Sunday's win over the Colts. The 28-year-old has been more involved in the offense over MyCole […]

Panthers Defense A Solid Option Against Patriots

The Carolina Panthers defense has been a solid unit this season for fantasy purposes. Head coach Matt Rhule has emphasized that the Panthers need to accept their defensive identity, which would bode well for this group moving forward. Carolina has shown a consistent ability to pressure the quarterback this year, with a matchup against rookie […]

Zane Gonzalez - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez is on a roll heading into a matchup with the Patriots in Week 9. Gonzalez has been steady, as he has nailed at least two field goals in three of his last four games, as the Panthers offense has stalled in enemy territory. The Patriots defense has limited opposing kickers […]

College Fantasy Football DFS Rankings: Week 10

The Saturday main slate is stacked with a plethora of great games. UNC vs Wake Forest, Ole Miss vs Liberty and SMU vs Memphis should all be track meets. Meanwhile, one off's like Ohio State, Baylor and Auburn should provide a ton of good options. At running back, there is the potential to double-stack the […]

Tommy Tremble - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble faces a tricky matchup in Week 9 against the Patriots. Tremble has seen six targets over the last two weeks but hasn't exceeded 20 yards in either of those games. He has the talent to produce, and the Panthers have looked his way in the red zone, but he'll […]

Questionable Tag For Elijah Mitchell In Week 9

San Francisco 49ers rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (rib) is being listed as questionable to play this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 9 action. Mitchell was limited in practice each of the last two days, so we'd consider him to be on the right side of questionable for the weekend. The 23-year-old […]

Deebo Samuel Listed As Questionable

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Samuel's calf "is worse this week," so the team will take the next two days to see how he feels leading up to Sunday's action. It sounds as though the […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. will be returning to action against the Patriots in Week 9. Marshall hasn't quite had the impact that was expected of him after he drew rave reviews in the preseason, as he has yet to exceed the 50-yard mark or find the end zone this year. While the […]

Vikings Defense- Week 9 Outlook

The Minnesota Vikings defense breathed a sigh of relief in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys when it was announced that Dak Prescott would not be playing. After all, Cooper Rush would be making his first NFL start against a Vikings defense that currently sits at 8th best against opposing quarterbacks. But Rush and the […]

Robby Anderson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson will be tough to recommend in Week 9 against the Patriots. In perhaps one of the biggest understatements, Anderson has been a massive disappointment for fantasy purposes this year, as he has seen at least seven targets in four of his last five games but has failed to exceed […]

DeAndre Hopkins Listed As Questionable Against 49ers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) missed practice all week and is listed as questionable for the Week 9 game against the San Francisco 49ers. Hopkins is expected to be a game-time decision, along with quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle). Nuk was questionable entering last Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers as well. He […]

Kyle Larson Favored To Win Phoenix And Cup Series

After nine wins in 35 races, it comes down to Phoenix for Kyle Larson and the Hendrick Motorsports Racing team. The driver in the No. 5 car has been masterful all year. Last week, he stayed out of trouble and still finished in the top-15. That was after two wins in the previous two weeks. […]
