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. However, Gronkowski is just two games removed from scoring a pair of touchdowns against the Lions- and the big tight end could be the primary red-zone […]

Seth Curry Unavailable To Play In Thursday’s Contest

Philadelphia 76ers shooting guard Seth Curry (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus Brooklyn due to left ankle soreness. Curry dropped a season-high 28 points just a day prior against the Wizards, continuing his strong start to his first year in Philadelphia, where he has shot 59.5 percent from behind the arc. With […]

Kyrie Irving Will Miss Thursday’s Game

Brooklyn Nets point guard Kyrie Irving (personal) has been deemed out for Thursday's contest against the 76ers due to personal reasons. The absence of Irving will leave Brooklyn strapped for star power, while Kevin Durant remains in quarantine under the league's health and safety protocols. Caris Levert is in line for a significant increase in […]

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. Brown has really started to get going as of late, with 20 catches, 266 receiving yards, and four touchdowns in his last three contests. Brown and Tom Brady appear to be on the same page […]

Chris Godwin A Strong Play In Wild-Card Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is on fire heading into a playoff matchup with the Washington Football Team. Godwin has scored a touchdown in each of his last three games and has at least 80 yards in back-to-back games. While the matchup with the league's second-best pass defense is certainly a tough one, […]

Leonard Fournette Hard To Trust Against Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette is tough to trust for fantasy purposes heading into the playoff opener against Washington. Fournette did get a crack at the starting job when Ronald Jones II missed two games, though he failed to exceed four yards per carry, despite scoring three times in the two games. To […]

Ronald Jones II Could Be Relied On In Playoff Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Ronald Jones II made his return to the field last week after missing two games due to a finger injury and because of a stint on the COVID-19 list. Jones proved he was healthy enough to play, as he delivered 78 rushing yards and a touchdown in the season finale. He'll […]

Tom Brady Faces Tough Test In Wild-Card Weekend

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady faces a tough test against the Washington Football Team on wild-card weekend. Washington owns the second-ranked pass defense as well as a defensive line that generated 47 sacks in the regular season, the sixth-most in the league. Despite the matchup, Brady is rolling right now and should be considered […]

Jimmy Graham To Face Familiar Foe In Playoffs

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will go up against the team that drafted him, the Saints, this Sunday during wild-card weekend. The veteran has surprised many in the fantasy community this season, posting top-12 numbers at the tight end position with 50 receptions for 456 yards and eight touchdowns. Graham is averaging only 3.5 […]

Can Cole Kmet Be A Difference-Maker Sunday?

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will head into his first postseason game averaging six targets a game over his final five regular season games. The Bears have utilized the rookie in the bootleg passing game and the recent results have been positive. Kmet will go up against a Saints Defense that is allowing the […]

Darnell Mooney Does Not Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) did not participate in practice on Thursday. Mooney enjoyed his best game as a pro last week, catching a career-high 11 passes for 93 yards but failed to finish the game after injuring the ankle on a big hit. The rookie has emerged as one of the more […]

Jared Goff Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card playoff game against the Seahawks. Linebacker Micah Kiser (knee) is also questionable. Goff had surgery last week to fix a broken and dislocated right thumb and missed the Week 17 win over the Cardinals. The 26-year-old has been limited in […]

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 […]
