Maverick McNealy An Expensive DFS Play At ZOZO

Maverick McNealy is in unfamiliar territory in the DFS lobby this week. With a huge jump in price from the CJ Cup to the ZOZO Championship, McNealy might have a tough time paying it off. McNealy started the season with solo second-place finish at the Fortinet Championship, but followed that with a missed cut at […]

Jonas Valanciunas Gets Extension

New Orleans Pelicans center Jonas Valanciunas has signed a two-year extension with the organization. He was acquired in late July in a deal that sent Steven Adams to Memphis. Valanciunas is coming off a career season in Memphis. He averaged 17.1 points and a career-high 12.5 rebounds per game. There is no reason to believe […]

Danuel House Jr. Misses Shootaround

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (personal) was absent during Wednesday's shootaround. That means, House should be considered questionable for the season opener against Minnesota on Wednesday. He is currently away from the team following the birth of his daughter. There is still a chance that House suits up, but he wouldn't be a recommended […]

Tomas Satoransky To Possibly Sit Out Wednesday

New Orleans Pelicans guard Tomas Satoransky (illness) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is not a COVID-related illness, so fantasy managers don't need to worry. Although, Satoransky's absence would mean more minutes for Kira Lewis Jr. Devonte' Graham and Nickeil Alexander-Walker. Graham has the highest upside out of […]

Chris Boucher Will Suit Up For Season Opener

Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher (finger) is available for Wednesday's season opener against the Washington Wizards. It was uncertain earlier in the week if Boucher was going to play after suffering a dislocated finger. This is great news for fantasy managers as it doesn't sound like Boucher will be limited at all. That means, Khem […]

Kenny Gainwell (RB, PHI) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Gainwell had reached the pinnacle of standalone status before his involvement in Philadelphia’s offense diminished significantly during his last two games.

Jaret Patterson (RB, WAS) - Fantasy Football Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: The shin injury that is hampering Gibson could lead to missed time and a big opportunity for Patterson. He has all of nine carries for 28 yards on the season so we don't know what he is capable of just yet. He was […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Kareem Hunt's calf injury is expected to sideline him for a few weeks and an IR stint seems inevitable.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (ankle) wasn't able to practice Wednesday. Head coach Bruce Arians specified that Brown, coming off of producing 93 yards and touchdown against the Eagles, is dealing with a sprained ankle.

Minnesota Wild winger Mats Zuccarello scored two goals and added two assists in Tuesday's 6-5 overtime victory against the Jets.

With Tua Tagovailoa back under center, the rookie wideout was targeted 13 times, catching 10 passes for 70 yards and a pair of scores.

Evgeny Kuznetsov Nets Two Goals In Washington Win

Washington Capitals centerman Evgeny Kuznetsov tallied two goals and added a helper on Tuesday. In a lopsided victory, Washington knocked off Colorado 6-3. Kuznetsov continues to roll, as he now has two goals and four assists in just three contests. But, of course, it makes it easier to produce points when a player skates on […]

Juuse Saros Earns Win Against Kings

Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros made 25 saves and allowed just one goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory against the Kings. The 26-year-old earned his first win of the season after dropping the opening two contests which were both decided by one goal.
