Clelin Ferrell Likely Out For Raiders Defense

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Clelin Ferrell tested positive for COVID-19 and is likely to miss the Week 11 game against the division-rival Chiefs. Ferrell was placed on the COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Safety Lamarcus Joyner, who was also put on the list, was deemed a high-risk close contact. If Joyner tests negative, he could […]

Teams Interested In Steven Brault

Teams have been calling about Pittsburgh Pirates left-hander Steven Brault, according to a source. Brault is attractive because he carries three years of control and had a career-best 3.38 ERA in 2020. The 28-year-old is also in his first year of arbitration eligibility. He was arguably the team's best starter last year in the shortened […]

Christian McCaffrey Officially Ruled Out For Week 11

The Carolina Panthers have officially ruled out running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) for Week 11 against the Lions. McCaffrey returned in Week 8 after being on Injured Reserve with a high-ankle sprain suffered in Week 2, but he'll now miss his second straight game with a shoulder ailment suffered in his return in Week 8. […]

Tony Pollard To Continue In A Complementary Role

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard is expected to continue working in a complementary role behind starter Ezekiel Elliott. Pollard was expected to see more work in Week 9 with Elliott dealing with a hamstring injury, but the starter saw more or less his normal load, leaving Pollard with just 10 touches. Pollard has been […]

Ezekiel Elliott Looking For His First Touchdown In Weeks

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is looking for his first touchdown since Week 5. In Week 5, Elliott put up 22.5 fantasy points in standard scoring formats, but has not made it to double digits since then. For the season, he's run the ball 150 times for 572 yards and five touchdowns, well below […]

Carson Wentz Becoming Riskier Each Week

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz is becoming a riskier and riskier fantasy starter, and that trend continues heading into a Week 11 game against the Cleveland Browns. Wentz is currently on a 16-game pace to throw for 3,717 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions. Despite a good matchup against a Browns Defense that allows the […]

Andy Dalton Expected To Start In Week 11

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton is expected to get the start in Week 11 against the Minnesota Vikings, with head coach Mike McCarthy saying that the team will activate the QB from the COVID-19 list on Wednesday. Dalton struggled in his two starts before going down with a concussion and later dealing with COVID-19. As long […]

Giants Fire Offensive Line Coach Mark Colombo

The New York Giants fired offensive line coach Mark Colombo on Wednesday and are bringing in longtime NFL assistant Dave DeGuglielmo to replace him, according to sources. First-round left tackle Andrew Thomas hasn't really developed up front, which appears to be the primary motivation for this move. Head coach Joe Judge was spending more time […]

Russell Wilson Expecting Pressure From Cardinals

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson expects the Cardinals Defense to bring plenty of pressure in their rematch on Thursday night in Week 11. The Cardinals brought the pressure in the second half of their win over Seattle in the first meeting, sacking him twice in overtime and totaling nine QB hits on Wilson. The Cardinals […]

Steelers Looking To Improve Running Game

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said the team has had a lull with their running game in recent weeks, as they averaged 136.8 yards on the ground in their first five games, a number that has dropped to 58 yards per game. They had a season-low 44 rushing yards against a bad Bengals run […]

Wesley Matthews Declining Player Option

Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews has reportedly decided to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. The veteran guard started in all 67 games that he appeared in last season. Matthews could be looking for a bigger role elsewhere with the Bucks bringing in more talent this offseason. There should be plenty of […]

Emmanuel Ogbah Wants To Stay With Dolphins

Miami Dolphins defensive end Emmanuel Ogbah, who signed a two-year, $15 million deal in the offseason, said he wants to stay in Miami for the long haul. Ogbah has broke out in 2020 with eight sacks in nine games, trailing only Myles Garrett and T.J. Watt in the AFC. The 27-year-old former first-round pick of […]

Rajon Rondo Expected To Leave Lakers

Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his $2.6 million player option for next season. The organization has agreed to a trade that lands them guard Dennis Schroder from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rondo wouldn't have much of a role with the Lakers while Schroder is there. Plenty of organizations should have […]

Otto Porter Accepts Player Option

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter has accepted his $28.4 million player option for next season, which should come as a surprise to no one. There was absolutely no chance Porter would get anything near that amount of money in free agency. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bulls attempt to trade Porter, but they […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Declines Player Option

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has decided to decline his $8.5 million player option. This doesn't come as shocking news after the Lakers acquired guard Dennis Schroder. Caldwell-Pope obviously wants a bigger role on a team and should have plenty of suitors. He's a decent defender and usually a reliable shooter from beyond the […]

Cody Parkey, Jack Conklin Placed On COVID-19 List

The Cleveland Browns are placing kicker Cody Parkey, offensive tackle Jack Conklin and long snapper Charley Hughlett on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. All three players were deemed as high-risk close contacts, so their status for Week 11 against the Eagles is to be determined. The Browns have kicker Matthew McCrane on their practice squad […]

Kristaps Porzingis Expected To Miss Start Of The Season

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is expected to miss the beginning of the regular season. The organization is going to continue to be cautious with their superstar center. Hopefully, Porzingis is able to get on the court around January, but that is unknown right now. Dwight Powell (Achilles) might be ready by the season […]

Drew Brees Likely Out At Least Two Weeks

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (ribs, lung) is dealing with cracked ribs on both sides and a punctured lung, and he'll likely be out at least two weeks. There was no change in his status after additional tests on Tuesday, according to sources. Jameis Winston is expected to see plenty of playing time in […]

DeMar DeRozan Staying With Spurs

San Antonio Spurs forward DeMar DeRozan has unsurprisingly accepted his $27.7 million player option for next season. This was a no-brainer for him since it's unlikely he'd get anything close to that in free agency. There has been speculation that the Spurs want to trade DeRozan, but it'll be difficult finding a suitor that wants […]

Kris Dunn Does Not Get Qualifying Offer

Chicago Bulls guard Kris Dunn will head to free agency after the organization decided not to extend a qualifying offer to him. Dunn will be an unrestricted free agent, which means he can sign with any organization he wants to. The Bulls are expected to draft a guard, so Dunn would've been buried on the […]

Christian McCaffrey Not Expected To Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to a source. Head coach Matt Rhule has been optimistic that McCaffrey can play in Week 11 against the Lions, but a missed practice to begin the week isn't a good sign. As things stand now, fantasy managers shouldn't expect […]

Denzel Valentine Gets Qualifying Offer

Chicago Bulls forward Denzel Valentine surprisingly has been extended a $4.7 million qualifying offer. That means, Valentine is a restricted free agent, so the Bulls can match any offers that he receives. It is quite odd the Bulls extended this offer since Valentine has not had a significant role on the team. Although, the Bulls […]

Robin Lopez Heads To Free Agency

Milwaukee Bucks center Robin Lopez has declined his $5 million player option and will head to free agency. He'll be an unrestricted free agent and feels he'll have a strong market. The veteran center doesn't have the same type of fantasy value as he did years ago. He could hold some deep league value, assuming […]

Cardinals Defense Loses Corey Peters For The Season

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that defensive tackle Corey Peters (knee) will miss the rest of the season because of his knee injury. Peters has started nearly every game for the team in the last five seasons, so his loss will be a big one for Arizona's defensive line the rest of the […]

Jerami Grant Declines Player Option

Denver Nuggets forward Jerami Grant has declined his $9.3 million player option and will head to free agency. This news should not come as a shock to anyone after Grant had a breakout season in Denver. The Nuggets are the favorites to re-sign Grant, but at a much higher salary. There could end up being […]

Drew Lock Should Practice Later This Week

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock (ribs), who is dealing with a muscle strain and bruising near his ribs, is not expected to do much of anything in practice on Wednesday. However, he should practice later in the week, giving him a chance to suit up in Week 11 against the Dolphins. Lock is coming off […]

Shaquille Harrison Heads To Free Agency

Chicago Bulls guard Shaquille Harrison will not be returning next season as the organization did not extend a qualifying offer to him. He'll become an unrestricted free agent and should have decent market value. Harrison is a reliable defender, but it's unlikely that he holds fantasy value in basically any formats. The Bulls have too […]

Buddy Hield Expected To Return To Starting Lineup

Sacramento Kings guard Buddy Hield played off the bench for most of the year last season. Honestly, Hield looked solid off the bench averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists per game. However, the Kings have traded Bogdan Bogdanovic, which means Hield is likely headed back into the starting five. Hield was unhappy with coming […]
