Rodney Hood Possibly Sidelined Versus 'Wolves

Portland Trail Blazers forward Rodney Hood (quad) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Gary Trent Jr. and Anfernee Simons have been asked to pick up the slack since Hood has been out since the beginning of the month. Trent has decent streaming appeal without Hood available, but both would be […]

David Montgomery Gets Tough Matchup Against Saints

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will face a tough Saints run defense during wild-card weekend. New Orleans has allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs, and only one runner has posted over 100 rushing yards against them all season. This is not promising news for the Bears, whose late-season resurgence has been […]

Evan Fournier Could Sit Out On Friday

Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. He has missed a week of action due to back spasms, but will hopefully return soon. The Magic desperately need him back with Markelle Fultz (knee) done for the season and Michael Carter-Williams (foot) still sidelined. Gary Clark […]

Mets Likely Out On Trevor Bauer

The New York Mets are unlikely to attempt to sign free-agent starting pitcher Trevor Bauer after Thursday's blockbuster trade that netted them shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco. New York now has Jacob deGrom, Marcus Stroman, Noah Syndergaard, David Peterson, Steven Matz, Seth Lugo and Carrasco in the fold for their rotation. Bauer […]

J.J. Redick Misses Thursday's Practice

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (knee) was unable to participate in Thursday's practice, according to head coach Stan Van Gundy. He suffered a right knee contusion during Wednesday's loss. It sounds like Redick is feeling better, but it's unclear if he'll suit up for Friday's game. Josh Hart would have solid streaming appeal on […]

Collin Sexton Questionable On Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Collin Sexton (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. The Cavs are already without Darius Garland (shoulder), so losing Sexton would be a significant blow to the team. Cedi Osman and Isaac Okoro would be asked […]

Damyean Dotson Might Play Versus Memphis

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Damyean Dotson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played 16 minutes off the bench on Wednesday, but the return of Isaac Okoro has hurt Dotson's value. Honestly, it's tough to imagine Dotson having basically any fantasy value while Okoro is healthy.

Padres Trying To Land Tomoyuki Sugano

The San Diego Padres are still working on reaching an agreement with Japanese star Tomoyuki Sugano, according to two sources. The deadline to sign Sugano to a deal is at 5 pm ET on Thursday. Even though the Padres traded for Blake Snell and Yu Darvish last week, they are still looking to add to […]

Reggie Bullock, Kevin Knox II Probable For Friday

New York Knicks guard Reggie Bullock (knee) and forward Kevin Knox II (knee) are listed as probable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Both players were able to return during Wednesday's win over the Utah Jazz. They filled their normal roles, but neither player has much fantasy appeal. Both of them could be […]

Christian Wood Could Miss Another Game

Houston Rockets center Christian Wood (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. He sat out of Wednesday's game and continues to deal with left knee soreness. His absence would mean more playing time for DeMarcus Cousins. He played well without Wood available on Wednesday, so Cousins would be an appealing […]

Danuel House Jr. Ruled Out For Friday

Houston Rockets forward Danuel House Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. This will be the third game that House has missed due to injury, so he has been a frustrating player to roster in the early part of the season. David Nwaba, Eric Gordon and Sterling Brown will […]

Darius Garland Sitting Out Against Memphis

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland (shoulder) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. On Wednesday, it was reported that Garland could miss a week or possibly more time. It sounds like the team plans to re-evaluate him daily and go from there. Cedi Osman, Damyean Dotson (ankle), and Collin Sexton (ankle) […]

Nerlens Noel Might Return On Friday

New York Knicks center Nerlens Noel (ankle, knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Noel has been sidelined since Jan. 2 due to multiple nagging injuries. The Knicks could certainly use Noel back in the rotation, but he won't provide much fantasy value. His return would likely mean less […]

Michael Porter Jr. Remains Out Thursday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (rest) will remain sidelined for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He remains away from the team due to health and safety protocols. The team was hopeful that he'd suit up here, but Porter will miss at least one more game. Will Barton will be the biggest winner here […]

Andrew Whitworth To Play In Wild-Card Game

The Los Angeles Rams activated left tackle Andrew Whitworth (knee) from Injured Reserve on Thursday, and he will play in the wild-card game against the Seahawks on Saturday after recovering from a torn MCL and a damaged PCL. The 39-year-old four-time Pro Bowler could be making his final postseason push for the Rams after spending […]

Derrick Rose Able To Practice On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) was able to suit up for Thursday's practice. He injured his knee on Wednesday and was unable to finish the game. The fact Rose was able to return to practice here is good news. It's unclear whether or not Rose will suit up against the Phoenix Suns on Friday. […]

Amari Cooper Has Ankle Surgery

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) underwent an ankle scope, according to a source. The procedure was just some postseason maintenance that will come with minimal rehab, so Cooper should be ready in plenty of time before training camp this summer. Things could've soured for the former Raider receiver when quarterback Dak Prescott (ankle) […]

Russell Westbrook Could Sit On Friday

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (finger) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. He suffered a dislocated finger during Wednesday's contest, so there's a chance he sits out the first game of the back-to-back set. Normally, Westbrook sits the first game of two anyway, so it wouldn't be shocking if the […]

Allen Robinson II Doesn't Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) didn't take part in practice on Thursday. Robinson was a full participant in practice on Wednesday, so the Bears are likely just giving him a breather before the wild-card playoff game against the Saints on Sunday. Receivers Darnell Mooney (ankle) and Cordarrelle Patterson (personal) also missed practice […]

Gus Edwards Still A Threat

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards still has upside on Sunday against Tennessee. While J.K. Dobbins has been the preferred option out of the backfield, especially after finding the end zone in each of his previous six outings, Edwards continues to get his touches. With the Ravens committed to getting things done on the run, […]

Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley Questionable Against Colts

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs (oblique) and Cole Beasley (knee) were both listed as questionable for the wild-card playoff game against the Colts on Saturday. Beasley took part in practice on Thursday for the first time since sitting out of the Week 17 win over the Dolphins. Diggs said he's fine and will play […]

Plenty Of Buzz Surrounds J.K. Dobbins

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins has received plenty of attention as of late. Although the rookie got off to a relatively slow start in 2020, he has picked things up by racking up at least 11 carries and a touchdown in each of his previous six contests. Although Gus Edwards and Lamar Jackson may […]

Alex Smith Officially Questionable For Wild-Card Weekend

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is officially listed as questionable for the wild-card playoff game against the Buccaneers on Saturday night. Smith stretched with teammates on Thursday but didn't appear to do much else, and head coach Ron Rivera said that Smith is "a little bit sore." Taylor Heinicke took the majority of […]

Browns Defense Getting Andrew Sendejo Back

The Cleveland Browns placed safety Ronnie Harrison on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday but also activated safety Andrew Sendejo from the same list. Linebacker Montrel Meander was added to the practice squad COVID-19 list. Sendejo will be a welcomed addition after recording 67 combined tackles, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in 14 games […]

Mets Still In The Market For George Springer

The New York Mets Thursday blockbuster trade for shortstop Francisco Lindor and starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco doesn't mean they are out on top free agents such as outfielder George Springer and relief pitcher Liam Hendriks. The Lindor/Carrasco trade could add more than $30 million to the team's 2021 payroll, and the Mets will likely try […]

Stefon Diggs, Cole Beasley Return To Practice

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Stefon Diggs (oblique) and Cole Beasley (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Diggs was limited on Tuesday and said he's fine to play in the wild-card playoff tilt against the Colts on Saturday. Beasley, however, is up in the air after missing the Week 17 win […]

Alex Smith Working Off To The Side Thursday

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) was working off to the side without a helmet at practice on Thursday, with Taylor Heinicke taking first-team repetitions during the period of practice open to the media. Head coach Ron Rivera said that Smith was throwing the ball well during a limited practice on Wednesday. Barring a […]

Saints Still Hopeful Alvin Kamara Can Play

The New Orleans Saints remain hopeful that running back Alvin Kamara will be able to play in Sunday's wild-card game against the Bears after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and was forced to miss the Week 17 win over the Panthers. Kamara is participating in live practices this week remotely, according to a […]
