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

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.

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 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.

J.D. McKissic A Solid Option On Wild-Card Weekend

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic had a sneaky good season as a passing-down specialist and faces the ideal matchup in the opening round of the playoffs.

Rob Gronkowski Worth Starting Against Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski has been hit-or-miss in fantasy this year and seems worth fading ahead of a matchup with a tough Washington Football Team defense.

With […]

Kyrie Irving Will Miss Thursday’s Game

Antonio Brown An Upside Flex

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown faces the league's second-ranked pass defense in the Washington Football Team on Saturday.
