Larry Fitzgerald Trending In Wrong Direction For Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) is not expected to play in Week 17 against the Rams. Fitzgerald wasn't able to take the practice field all week, though perhaps the absence of Christian Kirk (COVID) will force the team to re-evaluate the former's availability. If he doesn't go, it will be receivers KeeSean Johnson […]

Marquise Brown Has Upside In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown has a favorable matchup against the Bengals in the season's final game. Brown has been excellent lately, as he's exceeded 50 receiving yards or scored a touchdown in each of his last five games. After struggling to connect on deep plays, we've seen the explosive wideout haul in three […]

Lamar Jackson Poised To Finish Strong Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is poised to finish the regular season strong against the Bengals in Week 17. Jackson has generally treated his meetings with Cincinnati like opportunities to rack up fantasy points, as he owns 789 career passing yards as well as 345 rushing yards, his second-highest totals against AFC North squads. Last […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores Game-High 30 Points Saturday Night

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic had his best offensive game of the season on Saturday against OKC, finishing a 108-99 loss with a game-high 30 points on 13-for-21 shooting. He sank four triples with seven attempts while adding 13 rebounds and two assists. Terrence Ross returned from a one-game absence with a 26-point performance, but […]

Le'Veon Bell Set To Play, Will Have Small Role

Kansas City Chiefs running back Le'Veon Bell (knee) is expected to suit up in the season finale against the Chargers, though he's slated to have a small role. Sitting at 14-1 with the one seed locked up, it doesn't make much sense for the Chiefs to push Bell, effectively their starter right now, in a […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Puts Together 16-5-7 Line

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander struggled with his shot in Saturday's win over Orlando, but he posted another nice all-around line with 16 points, seven assists, and five rebounds while committing only one turnover. He went only 5-for-17 from the field with an ugly 2-for-9 record from downtown, and that's now two games on […]

Gus Edwards Expected To Play Against Bengals

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (back) is expected to play against the Bengals in Week 17. Edwards is seemingly on the right side of questionable after getting a limited practice in on Friday. The 25-year-old exceeded 100 scrimmage yards last week and has seen a bigger role with Mark Ingram II essentially relegated to […]

Darius Bazley Scores Season-High 19 Points

Oklahoma City Thunder forward Darius Bazley scored a season-high 19 points in Saturday's 108-99 win over Orlando, adding 12 rebounds to collect his second double-double of the year. He also had a pair of assists and one block while shooting 7-for-10 from the field and 2-for-4 from outside. Bazley's minutes have gone up massively this […]

Optimism That Chase Edmonds Plays In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hip) has a chance to play against the Rams in Week 17. Edmonds has been banged up over the last couple of weeks, though there is optimism surrounding his status ahead of a pivotal, divisional showdown against Los Angeles' tough defense. Edmonds has seen at least five targets in […]

De'Aaron Fox Notches 23 Points In Saturday's Loss

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox scored a team-high 23 points on 8-for-19 shooting in Saturday's 102-94 loss to Houston, adding four assists, two rebounds, two steals, and one block with three turnovers. It wasn't a good shooting performance, but Fox did a little bit of everything and he's been producing well across the board […]

Cam Akers Will Attempt To Play Against Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers (ankle) is a game-time decision, though he will try to play through his injury on Sunday against the Cardinals. Akers was "making progress" with his sprained ankle, according to head coach Sean McVay, who also added he wouldn't bet against his rookie back after he was able to […]

Christian Wood Picks Up Nice Double-Double

Houston Rockets forward/center Christian Wood collected a nice 20-point, 15-rebound double-double in Saturday's win over the Kings, adding four blocks and shooting a solid 7-for-14 from the field. Most of his misses came from three-point range as he finished 2-for-7 from downtown. Wood has looked like a bargain at 14 million a year, averaging 23.8 […]

John Wall Scores Game-High 28 Points

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall scored a game-high 28 points on 11-for-21 shooting in Saturday's win over Sacramento. He added six assists, four rebounds, three steals, and two blocks with two triples and five turnovers. Wall's first couple of games for the Rockets have been very encouraging, and he's certainly not playing like a […]

Matthew Stafford Expected To Play In Season Finale

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) is expected to play against the Vikings in Week 17. Stafford was forced to exit last week's loss to the Buccaneers with an ankle injury, another ailment in addition to the rib and thumb injuries he's been managing. He's thrown for just two scores in his last two […]

Mike Muscala (PF/C, OKC) - Week 3 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 5% of leagues ANALYSIS: Even with big men Al Horford and Darius Bazley occupying the Thunder front court, eighth-year center Mike Muscala is still getting some of the most playing time per night of his career (18.6 minutes per game), and he is contributing in the most […]

Fred VanVleet Scores Inefficient 27 Points

Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet scored 27 points in a loss to the Pelicans, though he struggled with his shot.

New Orleans Pelicans guard Eric Bledsoe recorded a double-double in a win over the Raptors. Bledsoe put up season-highs in points, 19, and assists, 10, as he helped lead his team to their second straight victory.
