Blake Griffin And Derrick Rose Out Monday

The Detroit Pistons have already ruled out forward Blake Griffin (injury management) and point guard Derrick Rose (rest) Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. This will be the first night of a back-to-back set as both players should be good to go against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday. Griffin's absence should pave the way for […]

Russell Westbrook Resting Second Night Of Back-To-Back

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) will not play Sunday night against the Orlando Magic. Westbrook will continue his trend of resting the second night of a back-to-back for the second straight season. This was to be expected with the quick turnaround and condensed season. With Westbrook out, Raul Neto will get the spot […]

Jordan Akins Posts 39 Receiving Yards

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins caught all four of his targets for 39 receiving yards in a losing effort. Akins has seen his involvement in the passing game trend upward over the last three contests, with 16 targets in that span. However, Darren Fells and Pharaoh Brown have continued to cut into his snaps- […]

Browns Defense Picks Up Two Sacks In Week 16

The Cleveland Browns Defense was quiet in a surprising 23-16 loss to the New York Jets in Week 16. Cleveland managed two sacks and was unable to force a turnover in the upset loss to New York. It was a rough day for the Cleveland secondary as the Browns gave up a touchdown pass, thrown […]

Kevin Love Expected To Play Sunday Night

Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center Kevin Love (calf) is expected to play Sunday night against the Philadelphia 76ers. Love made his season debut Saturday night after recovering from a calf strain and played 38 minutes despite reports of a minutes restriction. There was fear Love would sit Sunday since it is the second night of a back-to-back, […]

Austin Hooper Catches Seven Balls

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper caught seven of 15 targets for 71 yards in a 23-16 loss to the New York Jets in Week 16. Hooper saw a huge uptick in targets with Cleveland's top four wide receivers all placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of the game. While he finished with a productive […]

Hayden Hurst Has Touchdown In Week 16

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst hauled in five receptions for 47 yards and a score on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. After a three-game stretch with less than 25 yards each week, Hurst had a solid performance this week. Overall, the TE has been inconsistent this season, making it […]

Tee Higgins Leads The Way In Win On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins finished with six catches for 99 yards and a score during the win over the Houston Texans on Sunday. Tyler Boyd (concussion) was out of the lineup, so the rookie had the opportunity to make some additional noise on the fantasy need. With Brandon Allen throwing for a career-high […]

Draymond Green Remains Out Against Bulls

Golden State Warriors forward/center Draymond Green (foot) has been downgraded to out against the Chicago Bulls on Sunday. Green was originally questionable after participating in practice and looked on track to play, however his debut will have to wait. In Green's absence, Eric Paschall will likely continue to start while James Wiseman and Kevon Looney […]

Russell Gage Manages 23 Yards

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage finished with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets in the Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. Gage has seen at least five targets in the last five games, but his yard total in Week 16 was the lowest since Week 12. Nevertheless, the WR's target share has […]

Chad Hansen Held To One Catch

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen was held to just one catch on three targets in a 37-31 loss to the Bengals. Hansen had put together a solid string of games before this one, with three straight 50+ yard contests. After seeing seven targets in each of his first two games as a starter, Hansen […]

Calvin Ridley Has Fourth-Straight 100 Yard Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley recorded five receptions for 130 yards on nine targets in Week 16. The WR now has at least nine targets and 108 yards in the last four games and the absence of Julio Jones has led to some monster production for him. Given his stellar recent production, Ridley is […]

Giovani Bernard Remains Productive In Week 16

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard logged 16 attempts during the win over the Houston Texans on Sunday, finishing with 65 yards. He also caught seven of his eight targets for 66 yards. After finding the end zone twice against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, the veteran still had a productive day. While Bernard […]

Keke Coutee Has Solid Game In Week 16 Loss

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee caught all five targets for 54 receiving yards in a 37-31 loss to the Bengals. Coutee has compiled at least 50 receiving yards in three of the last four games, with two touchdowns scored. Over that stretch, the 23-year-old has settled in as Deshaun Watson's second-favorite target, as he's […]

Todd Gurley II Musters 16 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II finished with four carries for 16 yards and three receptions for 34 yards on three targets in the loss to Kansas City. Gurley hasn't been all that effective recently and his demotion to team RB2 doesn't help his case. The back has had single-digit carries and less than […]

Ito Smith Rushes For 46 Yards

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith finished with 10 carries for 46 yards and one reception for five yards on one target in Week 16. Despite being the RB1 on the team, Smith wasn't all that explosive in this game. Overall, the back hasn't rushed for more than 46 yards in the past four games. […]

Brandin Cooks Has Monster Game In Loss To Bengals

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks torched the Bengals' secondary in a losing effort. Cooks caught seven of 10 targets for 141 receiving yards and a touchdown, a beautiful, 25-yard catch that tied the game towards the end of the first half. The veteran wideout is just 16 yards away from becoming the second player […]
