EPL DFS Lineup Picks for FanDuel (3/19/21) - English Premier League Soccer

Welcome back, RotoBallers! We have an odd schedule of EPL games this weekend. We start off with a single-game Friday like normal, but Saturday there will also be only one league game after the postponement of Tottenham and Southampton. Either way, I will still be breaking down that game in full for you here. Keep […]

Marvin Bagley III Will Miss At Least One Month

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Marvin Bagley III (hand) has been diagnosed with a fractured hand, albeit not one that will require him to undergo surgery. Bagley will heal his hand and be evaluated again in four weeks, putting his timeline for a return this year under a time crunch. Bagley has started all 37 games […]

Jeremy Lamb Earns Questionable Tag For Friday

Indiana Pacers shooting guard Jeremy Lamb (knee) has been officially deemed questionable to play in Friday's contest against Miami due a sore left knee. Lamb has missed the three previous outings due to the ailment, with his role in the second unit having dipped over the last month. The return of Caris Levert has knocked […]

Evgeni Malkin Set To Miss Multiple Games

Pittsburgh Penguins center Evgeni Malkin (lower body) was added to the Injured Reserve, and he's set to miss multiple games. The move was retroactive to March 16, so the Russian superstar will be out for all three games against New Jersey this week. Malkin was on fire before getting hurt in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to […]

Wayne Ellington Will Miss Friday’s Contest

Detroit Pistons shooting guard Wayne Ellington (groin) has been ruled out for the third consecutive game Friday against Houston due to a strained right adductor. Frank Jackson drew the start Wednesday and played 31 minutes, but he has not proven to be a fantasy-relevant commodity even with the increase in time on the floor. Saddiq […]

Cale Makar Makes His Return On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche defenseman Cale Makar (upper body) will be back in action on Thursday versus Minnesota. He had some health issues throughout last month and hasn't played since Feb. 26.

Laurent Brossoit Earns Seventh Start Of The Season

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit will record his seventh start of the season on Thursday versus Edmonton. The 27-year-old has been very solid when called upon, posting a 5-1-0 record with a 2.48 goals-against average, a .921 save percentage, and one shutout.

Kailer Yamamoto Won't Play On Thursday

Edmonton Oilers right wing Kailer Yamamoto will miss Thursday's clash with Winnipeg due to an undisclosed injury. The 22-year-old has been riding shotgun next to Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, so head coach Dave Tippett will have to reconfigure his top line. Yamamoto is having a solid season with 16 points and 46 shots through […]

Avery Bradley, Andre Iguodala Questionable To Play Friday

Miami Heat shooting guard/small forward Avery Bradley (calf) and small forward Andre Iguodala (hip) have both been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's contest against Indiana.

Mikko Koskinen Faces Jets On Thursday

Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen will be between the pipes for Thursday's home game against Winnipeg. He has flipped between wins and losses lately, dropping his latest outing 2-1 against Vancouver on Saturday. Koskinen has an 8-10-0 record for the season with a 3.23 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage. Edmonton hasn't had a […]

Brad Riddell Will Look To Go A Perfect 4-0

A perfect 3-0 since joining the UFC, Brad Riddell (9-1) will look to make it a perfect four in a row on Saturday as he battles the very dangerous Gregor Gillespie in the night's co-main-event bout. A training partner of the UFC's middleweight champion Israel Adesanya, Riddell would like to bring UFC gold of his […]

Willie Cauley-Stein, Dorian Finney-Smith Out For Friday

The Dallas Mavericks' frontcourt stands to be short-handed for Friday's game against Portland with center Willie Cauley-Stein out due to the league's health and safety protocols and small/power forward Dorian Finney-Smith (personal) also unavailable. The return of Dwight Powell stands to help the second unit, whereas Kristaps Porzingis should see a sizable workload at the […]

Gregor Gillespie Makes His Long-Awaited Return To The Octagon

With some time out of the cage and a curiosity to see how he rebounds from his first professional loss, Gregor Gillespie (13-1) will enter the Octagon for the first time in 16 months on Saturday as he is set to battle Brad Riddell. Prior to his first-round loss to Kevin Lee in November of […]

David Fletcher (2B/SS/3B, LAA) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Sleepers

Analyzing David Fletcher is an exercise in extremes. No qualified batter swung-and-missed less frequently than Fletcher did in 2020, and no qualified batter posted a lower hard-hit rate than Fletcher’s 17.8% mark. In an era of hitters who tend to be more power-oriented, Fletcher stands out as a contact-focused hitter with unremarkable power. Fletcher’s ability […]

Harry Hunsucker Takes Late-Notice Call-Up

Rebounding from his Contender Series loss in November of last year, Harry Hunsucker (7-3) earned a 45-second first-round knockout on the regional scene to punch his ticket to the UFC. Hunsucker is replacing the injured Don'Tale Mayes on Saturday against Tai Tuivasa. Not only is Hunsucker a late replacement, but he is a fight-week replacement. […]

Houston Rockets point guard John Wall (knee) and shooting guard/small forward Ben McLemore (ankle) have both picked up questionable designations for Friday's contest against Detroit. Wall has been circling a return in the near future, while McLemore has missed the team's two previous outings. Mired in an 18-game losing streak, the Rockets' depth chart has […]

Tai Tuivasa Trying To Start A New Winning Streak

Tai Tuivasa (11-3) snapped his three-fight losing streak with a first-round knockout at UFC 254 in October of last year. A dangerous striker in the heavyweight division, 10 of Tuivasa's 11 career wins have come by knockout, with several of those coming in the first round. Tuivasa was originally slated to face Don'Tale Mayes, but […]

Monte Morris Will Miss Fourth Straight Game Friday

Denver Nuggets point guard Monte Morris (quad) has been ruled out for Friday's contest versus Chicago due to a strained left quad. Morris' absence marks his fourth outing in a row on the sidelines, paving the way for Facundo Campazzo and P.J. Dozier to continue seeing relevant minutes off the bench, with Paul Millsap regaining […]

Kevin Love Will Remain Out Friday

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Kevin Love (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against San Antonio as he continues to battle the calf ailment that has all but zapped his 2020-21 campaign. Love returned to make two starts to begin the second half, but he played just 12 combined minutes before shutting it down […]

Dylan Carlson (OF, STL) - 2021 Fantasy Baseball Draft Sleepers

Pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training in a couple of weeks, which means fantasy baseball draft season is ramping up. We do not know if there is a universal DH or a full 162-game season. What we do know is we will draft teams regardless and we will need some fantasy sleepers. Some sleepers […]

Davis Bertans Exits Early, Won’t Return Thursday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Davis Bertans (calf) has been deemed unavailable to return for Thursday's contest against the Jazz after departing early due to a tight right calf.

OG Anunoby Returns For Friday’s Contest

Toronto Raptors small/power forward OG Anunoby has been given the green light to get back into action Friday after having cleared the league's health and safety protocols. Anunoby has missed his team's six previous games, which may lead to a slight acclimation period that could stunt his minutes total. When he first missed time earlier […]
