Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. This will be the ninth game in a row that Fournier has missed due to injury.

Brandon Staley Secures HC Interviews With Chargers, Eagles

Los Angeles Rams defensive coordinator Brandon Staley saw his season come to an end Saturday following a defeat to the Packers in the NFC Divisional Round.

Jalen Brunson, Tim Hardaway Jr. Ruled Out For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guards Jalen Brunson (COVID-19) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Brunson continues to go through the NBA's health and safety protocols. However, the team does expect him to be back soon. Hardaway played well on Friday, but isn't healthy enough to play here. […]

Rob Gronkowski Eyes Return For 2021 Season

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski returned from retirement to join long-time teammate Tom Brady for the 2020 year. With Brady not planning on hanging up his cleats anytime soon, it appears that Gronkowski wants to continue his career as well, saying that he could see himself in the mix again next season, helping […]

Cole Beasley Held Without A Catch

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) was surprisingly unable to make an impact against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. Beasley failed to haul in either of his two targets in the win over Baltimore. To be fair, Beasley was matched up with elite defensive back Marlon Humphrey for a majority of the game. Possibly, […]

Philadelphia Interviews Josh McDaniels For Head Coach Role

The Philadelphia Eagles have added two new candidates to their list for potential head coach, as Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was brought in for an interview Sunday, while a request has been made to speak with Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy. McDaniels has been through the rigor of interviewing for multiple franchises' head coach […]

Taurean Prince Expected To Have Role In Cleveland

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Taurean Prince was acquired along with Jarrett Allen in part of a four-team trade. The Cavs are lacking talent on the wings, so possibly Prince could be beneficial for them. Cavs GM Koby Altman said Prince can be a capable 3-and-D player for this roster. Prince wasn't able to have much value […]

Houston Interviews Leslie Frazier For Head Coach Gig

The Houston Texans are meeting with Buffalo Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier on Sunday as the team continues it's search for its next head coach. Frazier advanced to the AFC Championship Game on Saturday, with his defense holding Lamar Jackson and the Ravens without a touchdown. Frazier's only prior head coaching gig came with the […]

John Brown Hauls In Eight Receptions

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown was held catchless during the playoff matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. However, Brown was on a mission to prove that it was a fluke performance. On Saturday, Brown hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 62 yards in the victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Brown has played well […]

Stefon Diggs Goes Over 100 Yards

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been basically impossible to stop over the second half of the season. He seemingly had no issues versus the Baltimore Ravens during their playoff matchup on Saturday. Diggs hauled in eight of his 11 targets for 106 yards and one touchdown in the win. It doesn't seem that […]

Andre Drummond Won't Lose Minutes

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond is not expected to lose playing time going forward, according to Cavs GM Koby Altman. The team acquired Jarrett Allen and Taurean Prince in a four-team trade earlier this week. There was some speculation that Drummond and Allen would have a timeshare at the center spot.

Devin Singletary Stopped In Victory

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary had trouble finding any room to run against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. He rushed seven times for 25 yards in the win over Baltimore. The Bills basically abandoned the running game until late in the fourth quarter. Zack Moss (leg) is expected to be sidelined for their next […]

Josh Allen Plays Well Versus Ravens

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen was able to get the job done during Saturday's playoff victory over the Baltimore Ravens. He completed 23 of 37 passing attempts for 206 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions in the win. Allen also rushed seven times for three yards on the ground. Baltimore did a solid job […]

Taysom Hill, Latavius Murray Unlikely To Play

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) and running back Latavius Murray (quad) are both unlikely to play Sunday night against Tampa Bay. That's good news for Saints running back Alvin Kamara, as Hill is always a threat to vulture a rushing touchdown, and Murray's replacement -- either Dwayne Washington or Ty Montgomery -- won't […]

Mitchell Robinson, Nerlens Noel Will Play Sunday

New York Knicks centers Mitchell Robinson (heel) and Nerlens Noel (back) will be available for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. Noel had a fantastic game on Friday, but his value is limited because of the fact he's behind Robinson. It doesn't sound like Robinson will be limited at all, so fantasy managers can slide […]

Alec Burks Ruled Out Versus Celtics

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Boston Celtics. There was a chance that he'd get back in action here, but Burks will remain on the sideline for at least one more game. That means, Austin Rivers and RJ Barrett will gain minutes and usage. It's […]

Ronald Jones II Has Good Chance To Play

After not playing last week, Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II (quad/finger) went through a walk-through on Saturday and as a good chance to play in Sunday's NFC Divisional Round contest against the New Orleans Saints. Jones would split carries with Leonard Fournette, limiting the fantasy upside for both backs in a game […]

Kemba Walker Will Play Versus Knicks

Boston Celtics guard Kemba Walker (knee) will start against the New York Knicks on Sunday. He has been bothered by a left knee issue, but will suit up here. However, Walker will be limited to 20 minutes in this contest. Fantasy managers can plug him back into their lineups, but DFS players should probably avoid […]

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle/hip) won't play on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns in the AFC Divisional Round, though he's expected to be available next week for the AFC Championship Game.
