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 […]

Andre Drummond Unsurprisingly Accepts Player Option

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond has reportedly accepted his $28.7 million player option for next season. This news shouldn't shock anyone as Drummond was not expected to get anything close to that in free agency. This means Drummond should hit free agency next season and possibly be a trade candidate mid-season for the Cavs. The […]

Cardinals Defense Must Be Avoided In Week 11

The Cardinals Defense has allowed over 30 points in three straight games. This week, they play one of the culprits of those 30-point games, the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks put 34 points on the board in Week 7 against the Cardinals and they should be slated to do the same when the teams meet up […]

Larry Fitzgerald A Risky PPR Flex Play In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had his best game of the season the last time the Cardinals played the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. Fitzgerald caught all eight of his targets for 62 yards in that game. This week, the Cardinals and Seahawks should be set for another shootout. Fitzgerald has been averaging around […]

Christian Kirk Should Bounce Back In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk had a quiet game in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills, catching four passes for just 27 yards. This week, Kirk and the Cardinals face the Seattle Seahawks, who have the league's worst pass defense. Kirk caught five passes for 38 yards and two touchdowns over eight targets the […]

DeAndre Hopkins Set To Dominate In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins caught 10 passes for 103 yards and a touchdown the last time the Cardinals faced the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. Expect to see similar numbers this week in what should be another shootout between the two division rivals. Hopkins totaled 127 yards last week. He hasn't had back-to-back […]

Chase Edmonds A Strong Flex Option In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds compiled 77 yards from scrimmage over 11 touches (including three receptions) in Week 10 against the Buffalo Bills. His workload should be similar in Week 11 as the Cardinals face the Seattle Seahawks. Edmonds was extremely effective last time these two teams met in Week 7. In that game, […]

NextGen Stats - Wide Receiver/Tight End Breakdowns and Takeaways

We've consumed our first "double-digit week" set of games. That means we've entered the final part of the season and, in fact, the fantasy football playoffs are closer than you may realize. There are just three more weeks to go until we hit Week 14 and celebrate our presence in the run for the chip, […]

Kenyan Drake A Solid RB2 In Week 11

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake struggled the last time he faced the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7. He gained just 34 yards on 14 rushing attempts and ended up leaving the game with an ankle injury that would forced him to miss the team's next game. Drake has had at least 13 carries in […]

Kyler Murray Has Another Juicy Matchup Against Seattle

It hasn't mattered much who the opponent has been all season, as Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has been a high-end QB1 for fantasy owners more often than not. This week, he has a fantastic matchup against the league's worst pass defense in the Seattle Seahawks. When the teams previously met in Week 7, Murray […]

Nick Mariano's Early 2021 Fantasy Baseball Third Base Rankings

Hope springs eternal for the 2021 baseball season, but it's hard to imagine we'll be completely past COVID-19 by then. Plus, we could see opening salvos for the CBA debates to come. But for now, let's just close our eyes and dream of a perfect world and chat as if a 162-game season will come […]

It's Officially D'Andre Swift Time in Detroit

It's not a question whether it is D’Andre Swift's time in Detroit. The statement is simple: it is D’Andre Swift's time in Detroit. At least it would be if they were smart. With the Bears faltering lately and Minnesota still without a winning record, the Lions have a chance to do something in the division […]

Coaching Matters: Offenses That Will Improve From Week 10

This series continues into its tenth week of where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on coaching in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 10, we saw performances such as the Houston Texans running backs combining for 54 rushing yards, Alex Smith throwing for 390 yards, and the Tennessee Titans […]
