Tom Brady Preparing To Play In 2021

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady is preparing to play again in 2021 despite turning 44 years old next August.

Tyler Lockett Has Low Floor Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett had his best game since Week 7 in last week's win over the 49ers, with 12 catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns. But in the Wildcard round, he faces a Rams Defense that held him to eight receptions across two regular-season meetings. Factor in that Lockett has had […]

Stefon Diggs Officially Active For Wild-Card Round

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (oblique) is officially active for the wild-card playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Diggs was listed as questionable for Saturday's contest, but he downplayed his injury all week and said he was fine. Consider the 27-year-old as the top fantasy play for the first round of the […]

Russell Wilson Carries Some Risk In Wild-Card Round

Never count out Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, but maybe temper your expectations on Saturday when he faces the Los Angeles Rams in the wild-card round. In what will likely be a low-scoring game between two defenses that are playing excellent football, Wilson has a much lower floor than usual. In two games against the […]

Mike Evans Will Play Against Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (knee) will play in the wild-card game on Saturday night against the Washington Football Team. Evans was set to be a game-time decision after hyperextending his knee in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Falcons, but he was able to practice this week and will be […]

Teddy Bridgewater Put On Notice For 2021

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule didn't give quarterback Teddy Bridgewater a full endorsement to be the starting QB in 2021 after the Week 17 regular season finale. "Teddy has to have a tremendous offseason," Rhule said. Bridgewater was replaced by P.J. Walker in the final game of the season in the blowout loss to […]

Cam Akers Should See Plenty Of Carries In Wildcard Round

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers saw 21 carries in Week 17 with the Rams starting John Wolford at quarterback. And while Akers didn't get much accomplished with those carries, turning them into just 34 yards, he did add four receptions for 52 yards. Akers has become the clear No. 1 running back on […]

Cole Beasley Will Be Active Saturday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) will be active for the wild-card playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Beasley was injured late in Week 16 and didn't play in the Week 17 win over the Dolphins, but he'll give it a go for the first round of the postseason. As one of […]

Cooper Kupp Should Have Solid Floor On Saturday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp has five or more receptions in four consecutive games, including catching eight passes for 66 yards last week with John Wolford starting at quarterback. It remains unclear who the quarterback will be on Saturday, but if it is Wolford again, Kupp should be the player who is least […]

Dwayne Haskins To Visit With Panthers

Former Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins will leave on Sunday night to visit with the Carolina Panthers on Monday, according to sources. It will be Haskins' first visit after being waived by Washington on Dec. 28. The former first-round pick cleared waivers thanks to his $4.3 million in remaining salary that Washington will cover. […]

Recent Struggles Make Robert Woods Risky In Wild-Card Round

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods has seen a drop in numbers lately. After topping 70 yards in seven of the first 12 games of the season, he failed to do so in each of the final four games. His receptions per game through 12 games were 5.9, but that dropped to 4.8 over […]

Jared Goff Pushing To Play, John Wolford Ready If Needed

Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Wolford took the majority of the snaps this week at practice and is prepared to play against the Seahawks on Saturday in the wild-card game if Jared Goff (thumb) cannot go, according to sources. Goff has thrown well despite a broken thumb, but head coach Sean McVay still has not […]

Taylor Heinicke Has A Chance To Start Against Buccaneers

There is a real chance that Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke ends up starting against the Buccaneers on Saturday night in the wild-card playoff game, according to sources. Alex Smith (calf) remains sore and his leg hasn't loosened up. Heinicke took the majority of first-team snaps at practice this week and is ready to […]

Jack Doyle Could Be Interesting Value Play

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle had a rough start to the NFL season, as he had just 11 receptions through Week 13. But he has 12 catches over the last four games and seems to be peaking at a good time for the Colts. Buffalo allows the eighth-most fantasy points per game to tight […]

Zach Pascal Has DFS Upside In Wild-Card Round

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal has been targeted four or more times in three consecutive games and has three touchdowns in that span. He's solidified his spot as the team's No. 2 receiver heading into the postseason. And while Saturday's opponent, the Buffalo Bills, allow the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide […]

Kawhi Leonard Scores 24 Points In Losing Effort

Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard delivered 24 points on seven of 17 shooting from the field in a 115-105 loss to the Warriors. Leonard added four assists, three rebounds, three triples and a pair of steals in 34 minutes of action. While it was an inefficient performance, Leonard's fantasy managers are probably thrilled to […]

Paul George Continues Hot Shooting From Deep

Los Angeles Clippers forward Paul George continued his hot three-point shooting in a loss to the Warriors on Friday night. George poured in 25 points and made 5 of 7 triples, the third time he's hit at least each mark in the past four contests. While he's mixed a couple of off nights in, the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Kelly Olynyk has carved out enough of a role in the Miami Heat frontcourt to be playing a career-high 25.2 minutes per game, and while Maurice Harkless could eat into those minutes upon his return, Olynyk has likely established his presence in the […]

Stephen Curry Scores 38 Points With Nine Treys In Win

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry exploded for 38 points and 11 assists in a 115-105 win over the Clippers. Curry added nine threes to cap off his third game with at least 30 points and five triples in his past four contests. He is absolutely on fire right now- excluding a dud against the […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Robert Williams is still a ways away from becoming a Jaylen Brown-caliber player, sure, but as many voices as are calling for Jaylen to get more recognition than he usually gets are also claiming Boston to play Williams for longer stretches of minutes […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 8% of leagues ANALYSIS: Detroit is the closest to a pure rebuilding franchise we have in the Association these days.
