Trae Young Has Monster Night In Blowout Win

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young scored 37 points with seven assists, six rebounds, and five triples in a blowout win over the Bulls. Young was dominant- and remarkably efficient, as he shot 10 of 12 from the field, 12 of 14 from the line, and 5 of 6 from deep. He would have been able […]

Khris Middleton Flirts With Triple-Double In Loss

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton nearly put up a triple-double in his season debut against Boston. Middleton poured in 27 points along with a team-high 14 rebounds, eight assists, and three triples in 38 minutes. He may not be flirting with triple-doubles every night, considering that he'll be sharing the court with Giannis Antetokounmpo and […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Puts Up 30-Point Double-Double

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo had a monster game in a loss to the Celtics, scoring 35 points with 13 rebounds, three triples, two assists, and two blocks in 36 minutes. Fresh off signing the biggest contract in NBA history, Antetokounmpo went out and recorded a double-double- something he did more than any NBA player […]

Jaylen Brown Drops 33 Points In Win Over Bucks

Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown poured in 33 points with five rebounds, four assists, three triples, two steals, and a block in 38 minutes of a 122-121 win over Milwaukee. Brown's 33 points were a team-high, and he did it on efficient 13 of 24 shooting from the field. Jayson Tatum stole the show with […]

Jayson Tatum Scores 30 Points, Drills Game-Winner

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 30 points with seven rebounds, seven assists, six threes, two assists, two steals, and a block in a 122-121 win over the Bucks. Tatum picked up right where he left off last year, as he went right at Giannis Antetokounmpo for a game-winning, step-back-three with 0.4 seconds left in […]

Ben Simmons Stuffs The Stat Sheet In Victory

Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons did a little bit of everything for his team in a 113-107 win over the Wizards. Simmons recorded 16 points, nine rebounds, seven assists, three blocks, and two steals in 32 minutes. Simmons made a few highlight-reel plays, including a lob to Joel Embiid for his first bucket of the […]

Russell Westbrook Has Triple-Double In Wizards Debut

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook may have been in a new uniform, but the player looked the same. Westbrook tallied 21 points, 15 assists, and 11 rebounds on 41 percent shooting from the field as he donned the Washington uniform for the first time in a loss to Philadelphia. He became the first Wizards/Bullets player […]

Alex Smith Has A Good Day At Practice

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) returned to practice on Wednesday and had a "really good day." Smith was officially limited, but he has a chance to return in Week 16 against the Panthers after sitting out last weekend. Washington had hoped all along that Smith's absence was just a one-week thing, and it's […]

Joel Embiid Opens Season With 29-Point Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 29 points with 14 rebounds, two assists, a three-pointer, and a block in a 113-107 victory over the new-look Wizards. Embiid bullied the Wizards' bigs- Thomas Bryant and Robin Lopez- for much of the contest, as he took them inside and outside of the paint for baskets. The 26-year-old […]

Tre'Quan Smith Misses Practice Wednesday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) and offensive lineman Andrus Peat (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Smith injured his ankle in the Week 15 loss to the Chiefs and is not off to a good start to the week, especially on a short week against the Vikings on Christmas Day on Friday. […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Sits Out Of Practice

Chicago Bears kick returner/running back Cordarrelle Patterson (knee) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Patterson avoided a serious knee injury in the Week 15 win over the Vikings, but it doesn't mean that he'll be able to play in Week 16 against the Jaguars. Losing the 29-year-old for this weekend […]

Chris Carson, Carlos Dunlap Limited

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) and defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring setbacks later this week, both players should suit up in Week 16 against the Rams. Carson was the lead back last week against Washington but saw his three-game touchdown streak snapped when backup Carlos […]

Kyle Rudolph, Eric Kendricks Don't Practice

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Rudolph has missed the last two games and appears to be on track to miss his third straight contest on a short week against the Saints on Christmas Day this Friday. Irv Smith Jr. has caught seven passes […]

Dylan Windler Leaves Game After Collision

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler left Wednesday's game against the Hornets after a mid-air collision with JaVale McGee and will not return. Windler had three points and two steals before leaving. Windler isn't on anyone's fantasy radar right now, but if he misses time, there will be a few more minutes to go around to […]

Aaron Jones, Allen Lazard Limited In Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (toe), wide receiver Allen Lazard (core, wrist) and linebacker Za'Darius Smith (ankle, neck, thumb) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Jones totaled 158 yards and a touchdown last week against the Panthers and will be a top-five fantasy running back against a Titans Defense that is allowing […]

Cody Zeller Fractures Left Hand

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller has suffered a fractured left hand. Zeller will likely miss at least a few weeks with this injury, opening up more minutes for Bismack Biyombo and P.J. Washington. Washington is the more interesting of the two, as he was already going to be seeing a lot of minutes at the […]

Jamaal Williams, Jace Sternberger Miss Practice

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams (thigh) and tight end Jace Sternberger (concussion, illness) were among five players that did not practice on Wednesday. Williams was injured in the Week 15 win over the Panthers and could be in danger of sitting out in Week 16 against the Titans on Sunday night. He had […]

Chase Edmonds, Larry Fitzgerald Miss Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle, knee) and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald (groin) did not practice on Wednesday. Edmonds was questionable to play in Week 15 but ended up with his best performance of the season, totaling 14 touches, 66 yards and a touchdown with more touches than Kenyan Drake. We can't expect to […]

Fletcher Cox Misses Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (neck), tight end Richard Rodgers (ankle) and defensive end Josh Sweat (wrist) did not practice on Wednesday. On the flip side, cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) practiced in full for the first time since Week 12. Cox, a Pro Bowler each of the last six years, is a big part […]

Rodney Hood Faces Minutes Ceiling Wednesday

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard/small forward Rodney Hood (Achilles) will play in Wednesday's season opener, but will also face a minutes restriction as he works his way back from a torn Achilles. Hood started all 21 games that he appeared in with Portland last season, but will likely help key the second unit offensively to […]

Eagles Defense Could Be Successful In Week 16

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense could be a solid fantasy option in Week 16 against the Dallas Cowboys. The Eagles defense has had some ups-and-downs this season, but they've been a top-14 fantasy option over the last three games and now get to take on the struggling Cowboys offense. The Eagles defense has some upside this […]

Jake Elliott Not An Option For Week 16 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not a good option for Week 16 fantasy lineups. Elliott hasn't seen any kind of volume near what would be needed for a consistent fantasy kicker. Last week, he kicked two extra points and nothing else, not even attempting a field goal. He's finished as a top-15 fantasy kicker […]

Anfernee Simons Will Miss Wednesday’s Season Opener

Portland Trail Blazers point/shooting guard Anfernee Simons (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus Utah. Simons serves as Damian Lillard's primary backup, which could allow for the Blazers' All-Pro to absorb an additional handful of minutes. Despite his increased usage last year, Simons still averaged just 1.4 assists across 20.7 minutes per game. […]

Zach Ertz Too Risky For Week 16 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz has been playing more and more since returning from his ankle injury, appearing in 75 percent of the offensive snaps last week. Still, he only totaled two catches for a total of 69 yards. The long gains made for a strong TE2 finish for Ertz, but the fact that […]

Dallas Goedert A Solid Option In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a solid TE1 option for a Week 16 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Goedert has led the Eagles in targets in most of the games he's played this season, and even with quarterback Jalen Hurts spreading the ball all across the field, Goedert still saw eight targets last […]

Alshon Jeffery Not A Good Week 16 Option

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has seen his usage increase lately, but still isn't a good fantasy option for Week 16 lineups. Jeffery set a season-high in yards (63) and tied his season-high in catches (two) last week, but he's shown little upside and doesn't see enough action to develop any kind of a […]

Jalen Reagor Enters Week 16 With Some Upside

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver Jalen Reagor enters Week 16 with some upside after seeing some more usage in Week 15. Reagor is dealing with an ankle injury, but he's been able to practice and isn't expected to miss any time. Reagor saw a career-high in targets and catches last week despite quarterback Jalen Hurts […]

Keldon Johnson Draws Start For Wednesday’s Season Opener

San Antonio Spurs small/power forward Keldon Johnson will make the second start of his professional career Wednesday against Memphis. Johnson dealt with a foot injury coming into the year, but with Derrick White (toe) unavailable, the second-year wing vaults into the starting five. There is reason for optimism surrounding Johnson from a DFS perspective, as […]

Travis Fulgham Not A Fantasy Option In Week 16 Lineups

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Travis Fulgham is not an option in Week 16 fantasy lineups. Fulgham may have gotten some fantasy managers into the playoffs with his solid play mid-season, but he hasn't done anything in weeks, falling behind seemingly everyone else on the Eagles wide receiver depth chart. Fulgham has totaled 62 yards combined […]

Greg Ward Unlikely To Repeat Last Week's Performance

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Greg Ward managed to score two touchdowns last week despite only gaining 15 yards on four catches. Ward will likely continue in his low-yardage role in Week 16, and he will only have fantasy relevance if he manages to find the end zone again. He has a little bit of upside, […]
