Browns Defense Not A Strong Fantasy Option

The Cleveland Browns Defense will hit the road to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

Nick Chubb Draws Tough Playoff Matchup

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb draws a difficult matchup as he gears up to face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round of the NFL playoffs.

The Houston Astros signed veteran reliever Ryne Stanek to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million on Thursday, according to a source. The 29-year-old was used as an opener by the Rays in 2018-19 and made 56 starts, none of which lasted more than two innings. Stanek allowed eight runs in 10 relief innings for the […]

Jared Goff Says He Feels Good

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) said he felt good after a second straight day of being limited in practice on Thursday.

Goff said he's […]

Logan Thomas A Viable Fantasy Starter In Matchup With Bucs

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas will look to keep the momentum from a breakout 2020 campaign in Saturday's playoff opener versus Tampa Bay. Thomas shattered his previous career-highs this season finishing with 72 catches for 670 yards and six touchdowns. The big tight end became a crucial part of Washington's offense down the […]

Deshaun Watson Unhappy With Organization

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is extremely unhappy with the organization after owner Cal McNair told him he would be involved in the next general manager and head coach hiring process to provide feedback, but then did neither in their hire of Nick Caserio as the next GM, according to sources.

LeBron James, Anthony Davis Get Green Light To Play Thursday

The Los Angeles Lakers will have both point guard/small forward LeBron James (ankle) and power forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) on the floor for Thursday's contest versus the Spurs.

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) had been announced as a starter for Thursday's contest against Memphis and had gone through a pre-game workout, but he was scratched at the last possible minute, with Damyean Dotson starting at the point guard spot in his place.

Saints Defense A Solid Start Against Bears

The New Orleans Saints Defense is a solid start against the Bears for this week's game. The unit compiled 45 sacks, 18 picks, and eight recovered fumbles in 2020 while looking completely dominant at times. The Bears have a rather mediocre offense featuring an error-prone QB in Mitchell Trubisky. As a result, this unit has […]

Jared Cook A Worthy Start Versus Chicago

Despite a lackluster regular season, New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is a worthy start this week against Chicago. Cook ended 2020 by seeing at least four targets and hauling in two touchdowns in the last four games. In the last two games, he also had at least 43 yards. Though his role isn't […]

Emmanuel Sanders A Flex Option Against Bears

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders is a flex play in this week's playoff game against the Bears.

Michael Thomas A Solid Play This Weekend

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) is a solid play this week if he plays.

Alvin Kamara A Strong Play, If Active

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara would be a strong play if active on Sunday. Kamara has been on the COVID-19 list since Week 17 and missed the last game of the regular season. This week, there is a chance he could return and the RB would be a strong play even against a […]

New York Adds Taj Gibson To Fold, Releases Omari Spellman

The New York Knicks and power forward/center Taj Gibson have agreed to a reunion, bringing the veteran back into the fold, where he is likely to join the Knicks' bench depth. In order to make room on the roster, the Knicks waived Omari Spellman, who was yet to appear in a game this year due […]

Drew Brees Faces Tough Matchup Against Chicago

Though […]

De'Aaron Fox, Richaun Holmes Unable To Practice Thursday

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) and power forward/center Richaun Holmes (ankle) were held out of practice Thursday while dealing with respective injuries.

Pat Connaughton Will Miss Friday’s Contest With Groin Strain

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Pat Connaughton (groin) has been listed as out for Friday's game versus Utah due to a sore left groin. The absence is set to be Connaughton's third straight outing on the sidelines, paving the way for Jordan Nwora to continue snagging a handful of minutes as a reserve. Connaughton had been […]

Collin Sexton, Damyean Dotson On Track To Play Thursday

The Cleveland Cavaliers will have point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) and shooting guard/small forward Damyean Dotson (ankle) on the floor for Thursday's contest, barring a last-second issue, per head coach J.B. Bickerstaff. The duo were deemed questionable earlier in the day, which would have dealt significant blows to an already decimated backcourt heading into Thursday's […]

Boston Lists Jeff Teague As Questionable To Play Friday

Boston Celtics point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been battling a sprained left ankle that has kept him out of the team's two most recent contests, but he has been upgraded to questionable for Friday's game against the Wizards.
