Joel Embiid Playing Against Brooklyn

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) will play on Friday against the visiting Nets. Embiid continues to deal with right knee soreness after he tore his meniscus during the postseason over the Summer. It's unknown how many minutes Embiid will log, so DFS managers may want to consider other options. However, he remains a must-start […]

Mikko Koskinen Makes Another Start Friday Night

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will get another start on Friday against Vegas after beating Arizona 5-1 on Thursday. The Oilers have Mike Smith (lower body) on Injured Reserve, so the Finnish veteran has to hold down the fort. He's done it in spectacular style so far, notching two wins with a 1.37 goals-against average […]

Joel Kiviranta, Luke Glendening Join Tyler Seguin's Line

Dallas Stars forwards Joel Kiviranta and Luke Glendening will skate with Tyler Seguin in Friday's home opener versus the Kings. Head coach Rick Bowness started the season with all of his big guns together on the same line, but Alexander Radulov will now join Roope Hintz and Jacob Peterson, while Jamie Benn gets to play […]

Raiders Defense - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Las Vegas Raiders defense is looking to have another big week as they host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Vegas' d-corps was somewhat inconsistent through the first few weeks of the season but had a huge boost in Week 6's 34-24 victory over the Denver Broncos. In last week's game, Vegas pressured veteran quarterback […]

Braden Holtby Makes Fourth Start Of The Season

Dallas Stars goaltender Braden Holtby will record his fourth start of the season in Friday's home opener against Los Angeles. The 32-year-old has done well so far with a 1.75 goals-against average and a .947 save percentage. Holtby boasts a 2-2-1 career record against the Kings with a 2.41 goals-against average, a .916 save percentage […]

Josh Jacobs - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is looking to be a difference-maker in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 23-year-old had his most productive game of the season against the Denver Broncos last week, logging 16 carries for 53 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 34-24 victory. Jacobs has the opportunity to build […]

Scottie Barnes Getting Another Start On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward Scottie Barnes is in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup against Boston. This will mark the rookie's second-straight start. He played relatively well against the Wizards during his league debut, finishing with 12 points and nine boards, one rebound shy of a double-double. He did have six turnovers, which was an issue, […]

Precious Achiuwa Starting Again On Friday

Toronto Raptors forward/center Precious Achiuwa will start during Friday's matchup against the Celtics. Achiuwa was in the starting rotation during the team's opener against the Wizards on Wednesday. However, foul trouble was a theme, and he also logged only 19 minutes of work but still managed to finish with seven boards, six points, and a […]

Bobby Portis, Semi Ojeleye Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Bobby Portis (hamstring) and power forward Semi Ojeleye (calf) have been ruled out for Saturday's game against San Antonio. The duo have yet to appear during the regular season for Milwaukee, as Jordan Nwora has been the primary beneficiary of added playing time. The absences of Porter and Ojeleye are particularly […]

Kenyan Drake - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake will look to be a difference-maker in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles, but it isn't clear how much of an impact he will actually have. The Alabama product was all over the place last week against the Denver Broncos, logging four carries for 34 yards and one […]

Ricky Rubio Draws Start For Friday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Ricky Rubio has been shifted into the starting five for Friday's game against Charlotte, taking the place of the injured Darius Garland (ankle). Rubio excelled off the bench in the season opener Wednesday, logging a double-double 25 minutes. Maybe most encouraging for fantasy managers is that Rubio knocked down three triples […]

Joel Embiid Has 50/50 Shot To Play On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee) has a "50/50" chance to play during Friday's Atlantic Division clash against the visiting Nets. The MVP candidate is currently dealing with right knee soreness, and he will go throughout warmups before Doc Rivers makes the final determination regarding his availability. Embiid suffered a meniscus tear during the postseason, […]

Darius Garland Won't Play Against Charlotte

Updating an earlier report, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) has been downgraded to out against the Hornets on Friday night. The 21-year-old sprained his ankle during the opening night loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and had been riding a questionable tag ever since. His next chance to make it back will come on Saturday […]

Brook Lopez Remains Out For Saturday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks center Brook Lopez (back) will miss his second consecutive game Saturday vs. the Spurs as he continues to battle back soreness. Milwaukee opted to start Giannis Antetokounmpo as its de facto center Thursday, which could very well be the case again with no true backup center available. Sandro Mamukelashvili and Jordan Nwora stand […]

Darius Garland Remains Questionable Against Charlotte

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (ankle) remains questionable against the visiting Pacers on Friday evening. The 21-year-old sprained his left ankle during the opening night matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. However, he still looked fantastic despite the ailment, finishing with 13 points and 12 dimes. If he can't see the floor against Indiana, Ricky Rubio […]

Darren Waller - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller is looking to be a difference-maker in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The towering TE caught 5-of-5 targets for 59 yards in last week's victory over the Denver Broncos, continuing his trend of being one of Vegas' most important offensive weapons. Darius Slay and the Eagles defense […]

Josh Richardson, Al Horford Set For Season Debuts Friday

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson (migraine) and power forward/center Al Horford will make their respective season debuts during Friday's contest against the Raptors. Richardson figures to lead Boston's second unit, while Horford, who is expected to play just 20-25 minutes, shifts into the starting lineup. With Horford back in the mix, Grant Williams moves […]

Nick Foligno, Connor Clifton Come Out Of The Lineup

Boston Bruins winger Nick Foligno (upper body) and defenseman Connor Clifton won't play on Friday against the Sabres. Foligno got injured in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to Philadelphia and is day-to-day, while it looks like Clifton will simply be scratched for the game. At least there aren't any injury reports regarding the 26-year-old blueliner, who's gone […]

Terry Rozier Questionable On Friday Evening

Charlotte Hornets guard Terry Rozier (ankle) is classified as questionable heading into the Friday night clash in Cleveland. The 27-year-old continues to deal with the lingering effects of a left ankle sprain, and he didn't play during the team's opener against the Pacers on Wednesday as a result. If he does sit out again, Kelly […]

Jrue Holiday Earns Probable Designation For Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks point guard Jrue Holiday (heel) is once again trending toward making a return to action, this time for Saturday's contest against San Antonio. The Bucks remained extremely cautious with their PG early in the year by holding him out of Thursday's game, which allowed George Hill to nab a start. When active, Holiday […]

Bryan Edwards - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Bryan Edwards could have a surprising impact in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Edwards had two catches for 67 yards in last weekend's win over the Denver Broncos, and while he wasn't targeted as much as Vegas' other receivers both of his catches were pivotal in moving the Raiders […]

Linus Ullmark Makes Boston Debut On Friday

Boston Bruins goaltender Linus Ullmark will make his team debut in Friday's road game against Buffalo. The Swedish netminder, of course, previously played for the Sabres, putting together a 50-47-13 record in six years with the team. Jeremy Swayman started the first two Boston games, going 1-1-0 with a 3.02 goals-against average and a .885 […]

Nerlens Noel Remains Unavailable For Friday’s Game

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Magic due to knee soreness. Head coach Tom Thibodeau was optimistic about Noel getting back in the mix in the near future, per Fred Katz of The Athletic, but in the meantime, New York's frontcourt depth will continue to […]

Hunter Renfrow - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow is looking to be a difference-maker in Week 7 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old had a quieter day at the office last week, catching 3-of-5 targets for 36 yards in a 34-24 win over the host Denver Broncos. However, with the Eagles paying extra attention to Darren […]

Cody Eakin Expected To Miss A Couple Of Games

Buffalo Sabres center Cody Eakin (undisclosed) won't be available for Friday's match against Boston and is also expected to sit out Saturday's meeting with the Devils. The 30-year-old got hurt in Wednesday's practice and head coach Don Granato has said that Eakin will be out for a couple of games. The 2015 world champion was […]

Bradley Beal Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Indiana due to a right hip contusion. Beal scuffled to the tune of a 7-for-19 shooting performance in the Wizards' season opener Wednesday; without him in the mix, look for Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma to take on larger offensive […]

Craig Anderson Faces Boston In Friday's Matchup

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Craig Anderson will go for a third consecutive win in Friday's home game against Boston. The Sabres have shocked everybody with their perfect start and Anderson has played a big part in it, producing a 1.50 goals-against average with a .954 save percentage. He's saved 30-plus shots in both of his starts […]

Henry Ruggs III - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is looking to have another big game this weekend against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. The 22-year-old caught 3-of-4 targets for 97 yards with one touchdown in last Sunday's 34-24 win over the host Denver Broncos and continues to be a difference-maker week after week for the Silver […]

Adin Hill Returns To The Crease On Friday

San Jose Sharks goaltender Adin Hill will be back between the pipes in Friday's matchup after James Reimer helped the team get another win on Thursday versus Ottawa. Hill has enjoyed a 2-0-0 start to the campaign with a 1.50 goals-against average, a .932 save percentage and one shutout. The team has made life very […]
