Travis Kelce Set For Big Game Against Browns

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce should be in line for a top performance on Sunday's Divisional Round slate when the Chiefs take on the Cleveland Browns. The Browns allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season and Kelce last caught fewer than seven passes way back in Week 7. […]

Tyreek Hill Set For Strong Divisional Game

Kansas City Chiefs Tyreek Hill should be considered one of the top wide receivers on Sunday's Divisional Round slate, with the only issue being the salary cost of stacking him with his quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. The Browns secondary has a lot of holes in it that a quick player like Hill can exploit. Hill caught […]

Patrick Mahomes Is Top Fantasy Option In Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the top fantasy quarterback option on Sunday's Divisional Round slate when he faces off against the Cleveland Browns.

T.J. Yeldon Active For Divisional Round

Buffalo Bills running T.J. Yeldon is active and will likely serve as the No. 2 back for the Bills in Saturday's Divisional Round against the Baltimore Ravens with Zack Moss (ankle) out.

Ravens Expected To Explore Extension For Lamar Jackson

The Baltimore Ravens are expected to explore a long-term contract extension for quarterback Lamar Jackson in the offseason. The Ravens are always open to early deals that make sense for both sides.

Eagles Would Like To Bring Carson Wentz Back

There remains uncertainty about the future of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz, and whoever the team hires to be the next head coach will have some input on that front, but the Eagles are telling head-coaching candidates that they want to bring Wentz back in 2021.

Evan Fournier Remains Sidelined On Saturday

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He will miss his eighth game in a row due to back spasms. It's a bit concerning that Fournier hasn't been able to suit up in a month. Terrence Ross and James Ennis continue to struggle, so Cole […]

Ben Simmons Is Available Versus Grizzlies

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons (knee) will be available for Saturday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is dealing with a minor knee issue, but will suit up for the shorthanded Sixers on Saturday. Both Joel Embiid and Mike Scott didn't travel with the team. Expect Simmons to see his usage increase during the back-to-back […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Could Sit Out Versus Bulls

Dallas Mavericks guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (groin) is currently listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

Fantasy managers will need to […]

Sterling Brown Ruled Out Against Spurs

Jalen Brunson Questionable For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bulls due to COVID-19.

Alec Burks Doubtful Against Celtics

New York Knicks guard Alec Burks (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Boston Celtics. He continues to deal with a nagging ankle issue, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the Knicks hold him out until Monday.
