Red Sox In Serious Trade Talks Involving Andrew Benintendi

The Boston Red Sox are in serious trade talks with multiple teams regarding outfielder Andrew Benintendi as they look for more prospects with emphasis on pitching and the outfield, according to multiple sources. Nothing is imminent, however. Benintendi slashed .282/.359/.447 with 38 home runs, 78 doubles and 42 stolen bases in 333 games from 2016-18, […]

Jaylen Brown Headlines Celtics Questionable For Sunday

Boston Celtics shooting guard/small forward Jaylen Brown is one of three Celtics deemed questionable to play in Sunday's game versus Miami due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. After it was announced that Jayson Tatum would be quarantining under the same policies after testing positive for the virus, Javonte Green and Semi Ojeleye joined Brown in gaining […]

Phillies Acquire Sam Coonrod From Giants

The Philadelphia Phillies acquired right-hander Sam Coonrod from the San Francisco Giants on Saturday in exchange for right-hander Carson Ragsdale, according to Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski. The 28-year-old Coonrod has made 51 career appearances for the Giants after being a fifth-round pick in 2014 out of Southern Illinois University-Carbondale. Coonrod had a […]

Derrick White Has 4-6-Week Injury Timetable

San Antonio Spurs point/shooting guard Derrick White (toe) is expected to miss the next four to six weeks due to a toe fracture that he sustained during his brief action in 2020-21. White missed the early portion of the year with a toe injury, playing just 23 minutes in his one game before hitting the […]

Trey Burke Cleared To Suit Up For Saturday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks point guard Trey Burke (illness) has been cleared to participate in Saturday's contest versus Orlando, ending an illness-related absence at one game. Burke's return is much needed, as Dallas is set to be down multiple players due to the league's health and safety protocols. Without Jalen Brunson in action, Burke should serve as […]

Aaron Donald Questionable To Return Saturday

Los Angeles Rams defensive lineman Aaron Donald (ribs) is questionable to return to the wild-card playoff game against the Seahawks on Saturday after suffering an injury in the third quarter. Donald suffered the injury while tackling quarterback Russell Wilson and immediately grabbed at his ribs before walking back into the locker room for further evaluation. […]

Pat Connaughton Cleared To Return For Saturday’s Game

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard/small forward Pat Connaughton (groin) has been given the green light to return to action for Saturday's contest versus Cleveland, ending his absence at three games. Connaughton's return coincides with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) missing an outing, which gives the returning wing some DFS upside at his low price tag. Having scored in […]

Jayson Tatum Set To Miss Time, Will Quarantine For 10-14 Days

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum will enter quarantine and be forced to miss the next 10-14 days of action after testing positive for COVID-19. Stemming from the incident, Boston could be down as many as seven players when they next take the court Sunday. In his quarantine window, the Celtics are on track to play […]

Collin Sexton Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

Cleveland Cavaliers point/shooting guard Collin Sexton (ankle) will miss Saturday's game versus Milwaukee due to a sprained ankle, marking his second straight absence. Without Sexton in the mix, Cleveland will be massively short-handed in the backcourt, as he joins Darius Garland (shoulder), Dante Exum (calf), and Matthew Dellavedova (concussion) on the sidelines. Damyean Dotson figures […]

T.J. McConnell Will Miss Saturday’s Contest

Indiana Pacers point guard T.J. McConnell (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Suns due to personal reasons. McConnell's absence indicates that Malcolm Brogdon and Aaron Holiday will handle PG duties against Phoenix, a group that has shown to be stout defensively during the early portion of the year. Having scored between […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Unavailable To Play Saturday

Milwaukee Bucks power forward/center Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers as he battles back spasms. Antetokounmpo's absence opens up the Bucks as a DFS upside fun house, specifically for Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, who figure to see larger roles in the offense. The absence is the first […]

Bradley Beal Ruled Out For Saturday’s Game

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal has been deemed a close COVID-19 contact of Boston's Jayson Tatum, ruling him out for Saturday's game versus Miami as a part of the league's health and safety protocols. Washington was already set to be down Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) on Saturday, allowing Raul Neto to enter the starting five. But […]

Evan Fournier Misses Fifth Straight Game Saturday

Orlando Magic shooting guard/small forward Evan Fournier (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Mavericks, marking his fifth consecutive contest on the sidelines. With injuries having drastically changed Orlando's lineup structure as of late, Dwayne Bacon and James Ennis figure to continue benefiting from Fournier's absence, even as their fantasy production has […]

Russell Westbrook Will Miss Saturday’s Game; Raul Neto To Start

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (quad) has been ruled out for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to a sore left quad, continuing his trend of missing one leg of back-to-backs to begin the 2020-21 season. Raul Neto has been tabbed to start at PG in Westbrook's stead, giving him considerable DFS upside, as […]

Dwight Howard Delivers Double-Double In Loss

Philadelphia 76ers center Dwight Howard got the start with Joel Embiid (back) out of the lineup and made the most of the opportunity. Howard recorded his first double-double of the season, with a season-high 11 points. Fellow center Tony Bradley actually played the same amount of minutes and pulled down more boards, but Howard has […]

Dawson Knox Snags Touchdown

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox did not see many targets during Saturday's playoff victory over the Indianapolis Colts. He hauled in two of his three targets for five yards and one touchdown. It was a quiet game from Knox, but at least he was able to find the end zone. There isn't much upside […]

Gabriel Davis Notches Four Receptions Versus Colts

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis was expected to have a big part in the offense with Cole Beasley (knee) questionable heading into this game. However, Beasley did end up suiting up for Saturday's playoff matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. Despite that, Davis played fairly well considering he was the third passing option. He hauled […]

Cole Beasley Hauls In All Seven Targets

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) was listed as questionable heading into Saturday's playoff matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts. However, Beasley did suit up and made a big impact in the narrow 27-24 victory. He hauled in all seven of his targets for 57 yards in this game. Beasley continues to be a reliable […]

Nikola Jokic Dishes Out 12 Assists In Victory

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic flirted with a triple-double in a 115-103 win over the 76ers. Jokic scored 15 points with 12 assists and nine rebounds in just 29 minutes. It was a smaller line than his fantasy managers are used to, though still a fruitful one for fantasy purposes. Besides, Jokic wasn't needed much […]

Stefon Diggs Torches Colts Secondary

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was a no-brainer DFS option coming into Saturday's playoff matchup. He has been seemingly unstoppable all season long and that continued versus the Indianapolis Colts. Diggs hauled in six of his nine targets for 128 yards and one touchdown in the win. He was fairly quiet in the first […]

Cubs Continue To Listen On Kris Bryant, Willson Contreras

The Chicago Cubs continue to listen to trade offers for third baseman Kris Bryant and catcher Willson Contreras, despite sending starting pitcher Yu Darvish to the Padres and clearing $21 million from the 2021 payroll. The Los Angeles Angels make sense as a trade partner for Contreras due to manager Joe Maddon's familiarity with the […]

Devin Singletary Has Little Impact On Saturday

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary continued to look sluggish against the Indianapolis Colts during their playoff matchup on Saturday. He rushed three times for 21 yards and caught three passes for 23 yards through the air. Zack Moss (leg) saw a majority of the carries before he was carted off the field. It's unclear […]

Tyrese Maxey Goes Off For Career-High 39 Points

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey made the most of his first NBA start, dropping a career-high 39 points in a losing effort. Maxey added seven rebounds, six assists, three triples, and two steals in 44 minutes. Philadelphia was severely shorthanded in this contest, with only seven healthy players after Seth Curry's positive COVID-19 test and […]

Padres Working On Extension For Fernando Tatis Jr.

The San Diego Padres continue to work on a long-term contract extension with shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr., and they would ideally prefer it to be completed before the Mets sign a possible extension with newly acquired shortstop Francisco Lindor, according to a source. It's unclear if a Tatis extension will come in the next week, […]

Josh Allen Goes Over 300 Yards In Win

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen started off slow, but finished strong during Saturday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Allen completed 26 of 35 passing attempts for 324 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed 11 times for 54 yards and one touchdown on the ground. Allen continues to shine and helped Buffalo get a narrow […]

Zack Moss' Season Could Be Over

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Zack Moss (ankle) is expected to miss some time and could have played in the final game of his rookie season after being carted off the field due to an ankle injury in the 27-24 wild-card win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Moss saw seven carries for 21 yards […]

John Wolford Questionable To Return Against Seattle

Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Wolford (neck) is questionable to return to the wild-card playoff game against the Seahawks on Saturday after taking a hard hit to the head/neck on a designed run play in the first quarter. Wolford started over the injured Jared Goff (thumb) and was moving the ball well on the second […]

Alex Smith Inactive, Taylor Heinicke To Start Against Bucs

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is inactive for Saturday's wild-card contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Backup Taylor Heinicke will start at quarterback. Smith gave Washington the best chance of upsetting the Buccaneers, but Heinicke was solid as a relief QB in Week 16 in the loss to the Panthers, going 12-for-19 for 137 […]

Alvin Kamara, Michael Thomas Activated

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara and wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) have been activated ahead of Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the Bears. Kamara tested positive for COVID-19 last week and missed the Week 17 regular season finale. He still needs final clearance before the game on Sunday, but all signs are pointing […]

Darnell Mooney, Roquan Smith Out For Wild-Card Game

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle) and linebacker Roquan Smith (elbow) have been ruled out ahead of Sunday's wild-card game against the New Orleans Saints. With Mooney out, expect to see more of Anthony Miller, who last had more than two receptions back in Week 13. This is obviously a big loss for the […]
