Sammy Watkins Not At Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (calf) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday. Watkins sat out the Week 17 regular season finale and had two full weeks of rest leading up to the Divisional Round. The Chiefs might just be playing it safe with the 27-year-old pass-catcher, […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire On The Field Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) was on the field with no pads in the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday. It's a good sign, but we'll need to see more from the impressive rookie before we recommend him for fantasy lineups in the Divisional Round against the […]

Malcolm Subban Starting Wednesday Against Lightning

Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Malcolm Subban will be between the pipes on Wednesday night against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Subban is likely to split starts with Collin Delia and Kevin Lankinen this season. The 27-year-old owns a 2.97 goals-against average through 60 career starts and is going up against one of the league's top offenses. Even […]

Broncos Adding George Paton As New General Manager

The Denver Broncos are finalizing a six-year deal with Minnesota Vikings vice president and player personnel/assistant general manager George Paton on Wednesday to become the team's next general manager, according to a source. Paton spent 14 years with the Vikings and had other chances to take GM jobs elsewhere in recent seasons, but the Denver […]

Padres Doing Background Work On Masahiro Tanaka

The San Diego Padres are doing background work on free-agent starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka and other free agents, even after swinging big trades for starters Blake Snell and Yu Darvish this offseason. Tanaka stands out because of his connection to Darvish and pitching coach Larry Rothschild. Darvish is friends with Tanaka, and Rothschild was his […]

Mark Shapiro Receives Five-Year Extension

Toronto Blue Jays president and chief executive officer Mark Shapiro was given a five-year contract extension on Wednesday. Shapiro worked for the Cleveland Indians before joining the Blue Jays as their president on Oct. 31, 2015. His leadership and commitment over the last five years have been critical to Toronto's growth and development. The Blue […]

LPL & LCK DFS Picks for 1/14: DraftKings & FanDuel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

Well, last night was sure an adventure. The LCK favorites held serve as expected, but unexpectedly. While WE and V5 threw back and forth, IG just threw. Seriously though, all the props to Lwandy may never be allowed to pilot Alistar again after his game two performance. It was well after midnight when rumors reached […]

Derwin James Hungry To Return To Chargers Defense

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (knee) missed all of the 2020 season and played in just five games in 2019 after he was named a first-team All-Pro in his rookie year in 2018. But James is as hungry as ever to get back on the field and play in 2021. "I think I'm about […]

Davante Adams In Another Stratosphere

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams became the only player in NFL history in 2020 with 100-plus catches and 18 touchdowns in a single regular season. He's also the only player to average eight-plus catches per game and one-plus touchdown per game. Adams averaged a league-high 3.1 receiving yards per route run this year, […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/13/21): NBA DFS Lineups

For the second straight day, COVID-19 has forced changes to the DFS slate as the NBA attempts to combat the spread of the virus. Having announced additional health and safety protocols measures Tuesday, the players will have to adjust to many off-the-court habits, as well as some on-the-court ones as well. More than ever, it’s […]

Browns Defense Getting Denzel Ward Back

The Cleveland Browns activated cornerbacks Denzel Ward and Kevin Johnson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, according to a source. Nobody expects Cleveland's defense to be able to slow down the defending-champion Kansas City Chiefs in the Divisional Round on Sunday, but getting Ward and Johnson back will at least give them a fighter's chance. […]

Jalen Ramsey Key For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey has shut down the who's who of top wide receivers this season. The list includes Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, Allen Robinson II, D.K. Metcalf, Mike Evans and DeAndre Hopkins. None of those wideouts were able to produce a 100-yard game with Ramsey shadowing them in 2020, including […]

Andrew Wiggins Scores Team-High 22 Points

Golden State Warriors small forward Andrew Wiggins scored a team-high 22 points on 7-for-17 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Pacers. Stephen Curry was limited to 20 points and Kelly Oubre Jr. produced a 17-point performance. Wiggins had another poor shooting performance, and he even struggled at the line with a 4-for-7 effort, but he […]

Aaron Holiday Comes Up With Double-Double Off The Bench

Indiana Pacers point guard Aaron Holiday ended up with a nice fantasy line in Tuesday's victory over the Warriors, collecting a 16-point, 12-assist double-double off the bench and adding a pair of rebounds and steals. He shot 6-for-16 from the field, including 2-for-5 from downtown. Holiday has been irrelevant fantasy-wise, but T.J. McConnell's (personal) absence […]

Myles Turner Has Great Effect On Both Ends Of The Court

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner played a vital role in Tuesday's 104-95 victory over Golden State, producing 22 points on 7-for-11 shooting and swatting away five shots. He also pulled down 12 rebounds for his second double-double of the year, and his defensive work included two assists. Turner has been a monster on the defensive […]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Comes Close To Double-Double

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was very close to his second double-double of the season on Tuesday, going for 20 points and nine rebounds in a 120-112 loss to San Antonio. He disappointed in other areas, adding only two assists, but Gilgeous-Alexander's shooting was very good in the contest as he finished 7-for-10 from […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Produces Full Line In Spurs Win

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge put together a really good all-around performance on Tuesday against the Thunder, collecting 13 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, two blocks, and one steal. He shot 6-for-16 from the field, including 1-for-4 from downtown. Having reached 19,720 career points, he moved past John Stockton into 47th place on the […]

Lonnie Walker IV Enjoys Another Fine Outing

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard Lonnie Walker IV led the team in scoring for the second consecutive time, finishing Tuesday's 112-102 win over OKC with 24 points. He shot 7-for-15 from the field and 7-for-7 at the line, adding three rebounds, two assists, and one block. Walker IV, who went 3-for-7 from deep, has produced […]

Semyon Varlamov Tabbed For Opening Night Start

New York Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov will be between the pipes for the team's first game of the season on Thursday. The 32-year-old netminder will probably split starts with promising rookie Ilya Sorokin for most of the campaign. This caps both players' fantasy ceilings, but they are viable options in net whenever they start. Varlamov […]

Donovan Mitchell Drops Game-High 27 Points In Win

Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell led all scorers during Tuesday's victory over Cleveland with 27 points on 9-for-15 shooting, including going 5-for-7 from behind the arc. Despite the Cavs having entered play Tuesday yielding the fewest PPG in the league, Mitchell was able to log at least 27 points for the fourth time in […]

Jordan Clarkson Knocks Down Five Triples Off Bench

Utah Jazz shooting guard Jordan Clarkson remains instant offense off the bench, and Tuesday's win over the Cavaliers was no different. Without Joe Ingles (Achilles) available in the second unit, Clarkson took on an expanded role, dropping 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting, including tying his season-high by drilling five threes. Traditionally a score-first attacker, Clarkson […]

Brad Marchand Expected To Suit Up Thursday

Boston Bruins left wing Brad Marchand (hernia) is expected to play in the team's season opener on Thursday, despite missing practice the past two days. "He'll be back on the ice tomorrow," said Bruins general manager Don Sweeney on Tuesday. Marchand underwent sports-hernia surgery back in September. The team is being cautious with their star […]

Larry Nance Jr. Goes Ice-Cold From Field In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward/center Larry Nance Jr. figured to have immense upside coming into Tuesday's contest versus Utah without Andre Drummond (Achilles, calf) in the mix, but he was unable to capitalize, finishing with just six points and seven rebounds across his 30 minutes. Nance tied his season-high with 11 field-goal attempts but hit only […]

Evander Kane Will Play For Sharks In 2021

San Jose Sharks left wing Evander Kane will play during the 2021 season, according to head coach Bob Boughner. It was previously reported that Kane may opt out of the season after filing for bankruptcy, but Boughner assured reporters that Kane was on board for the upcoming campaign. This is good news for fantasy owners, […]

K'Andre Miller On Opening Night Roster

New York Rangers defenseman K'Andre Miller has made the team's Opening Night roster. The 22nd overall pick from 2018 will play alongside Jacob Trouba on the team's top pair. Miller really impressed throughout training camp and will now get his first crack at the NHL. It is unlikely that he will hold much value in […]
