Boston Clears Kemba Walker To Return To Practice

Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker (knee) has been given the thumbs up to rejoin the team during practices as he attempts to ramp up his workload ahead of a return to game action. Walker has been bothered by a knee ailment, which has kept him out to begin the year. In his place, Marcus […]

Christian Wood Will Suit Up For Friday’s Game

Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood (knee) has been cleared to take the floor for Friday's contest against the Magic. Wood missed Wednesday's contest and was questionable for most of Friday before ultimately receiving the green light. His return likely means a shift back to the second unit for DeMarcus Cousins, which decreases his DFS […]

T.Y. Hilton An Average WR3 Against Bills

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton is just an average WR3 option this week against the Bills. He had just three catches in each of his last two games to end the season, and the Bills Defense ranks fifth against opposing wide receivers. The Bills defense also ranks inside the top-10 allowing the least amount […]

Russell Westbrook Cleared To Take Floor Friday

Washington Wizards point guard Russell Westbrook (finger) has been given the green light to suit up for Friday's game versus the Celtics despite a recent finger dislocation. It's unclear at this stage how the injury may affect Westbrook, but having logged at least a double-double in every game he has played this season, there's little […]

Trevor Story A Dark-Horse Option For Blue Jays

Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story could be a dark-horse option for the Toronto Blue Jays after they were the runner-up for shortstop Francisco Lindor, who was traded to the Mets in a blockbuster trade involving starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco on Thursday. Toronto has also been connected to outfielder George Springer, but his reported asking price […]

Jeff Teague Receives Green Light To Return For Friday’s Game

Boston Celtics point guard Jeff Teague (ankle) has been cleared to suit up for Friday's contest against the Wizards, stemming his absence due to an ankle injury at two games. His return zaps Payton Pritchard of his fantasy intrigue, as the rookie filled in with an increased role as a reserve with Teague down. While […]

Mets Have Discussed Kris Bryant

The New York Mets have discussed third baseman Kris Bryant with the Chicago Cubs recently. The Cubs like one of the Mets top prospects in catcher Francisco Alvarez, but president Sandy Anderson said on Thursday that he isn't trading any top prospects. New York traded away infielders Amed Rosario and Andres Gimenez, right-hander Josh Wolf […]

Kyle Lowry Will Miss Friday’s Contest Due To Personal Reasons

Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry (personal) has been deemed unavailable to take the floor for Friday's game against the Kings. His absence paves the way for Fred Vanvleet to take over full-time PG duties, which gives him immense DFS upside, especially when considering the difficulty that Sacramento has had in containing opposing PGs thus […]

Nyheim Hines An Average Flex Option

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines has decent flex value in a wild-card matchup against the Bills on Saturday. Hines had a productive season, recording over 850 total yards and seven total touchdowns. However, he has averaged only nine touches per game over the last five weeks of the season. He also has not recorded […]

Cowboys Defense Lets Go Of Mike Nolan

The Dallas Cowboys fired defensive coordinator Mike Nolan on Friday after just one season with the team. The Cowboys also fired defensive line coach Jim Tomsula after he was hired just three days after Nolan was last January. Dallas finished the 2020 season ranked 11th in passing defense (227.6 yards per game), 28th in scoring […]

Jonathan Taylor A Solid Option On Wild-Card Weekend

Indianapolis Colts rookie running back Jonathan Taylor had a great rookie campaign and will look to ride that momentum into wild-card weekend. He finished the season third in the league in rushing yards and tallied 11 touchdowns. The Bills Defense has allowed 21 rushing touchdowns and 4.6 yards per carry on the season. Taylor averaged […]

Willie Snead IV Questionable Against Tennessee

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Willie Snead IV (ankle), cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (shoulder) and Jimmy Smith (ribs, shoulder), center Patrick Mekari (back), outside linebacker Yannick Ngakoue (thigh), guard Ben Bredeson (knee) and tackle D.J.

Donovan Peoples-Jones Clears Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (concussion) cleared the league's concussion protocols on Friday and will practice after missing the last two days. Peoples-Jones suffered a head injury in the Week 17 win over the Steelers, but even though he cleared the protocol, he's likely to be questionable to face Pittsburgh for the second […]

Philip Rivers Not A Great Option Against Bills

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers is set to take on the Bills Defense on wild-card weekend. Rivers has just 14 passing touchdowns and 10 interceptions with a passer rating of 84.2 in 11 career playoff games. The Bills defense has been solid against the pass this season, grabbing 15 interceptions and allowing a passer rating […]

Washington Defense Has Tough Matchup In Wild-Card Round

The Washington Football Team defense rode its impressive defensive line to fantasy relevance in 2020, but they'll face a stiff test in the playoffs versus quarterback Tom Brady and the Bucs. Led by rookie Chase Young and Montez Sweat, Washington got to opposing QBs 47 times in 2020, sixth in the NFL. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay has […]

Dontrelle Inman Elevated To Active Roster

The Washington Football Team elevated wide receiver Dontrelle Inman from the practice squad to the active roster on Friday ahead of the team's wild-card playoff game on Saturday night against the Buccaneers. Although Terry McLaurin (ankle) is questionable for wild-card weekend, he's expected to play. Inman just gives the team some experienced receiver depth for […]

LeSean McCoy Ruled Out For Wild-Card Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back LeSean McCoy (illness) has been downgraded to out for the wild-card playoff game against the Washington Football Team on Saturday night. The team also elevated cornerback Herb Miller, linebacker Deone Bucannon, offensive lineman Ted Larsen and defensive lineman Benning Potoa'e from the practice squad to the active roster. McCoy was […]

Terry McLaurin Questionable For Wild-Card Round

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) is officially questionable for Saturday's playoff game against the Buccaneers.

On the season, McLaurin caught 87 passes for 1,118 yards and four […]

Saints Defense Won't Have Trey Hendrickson Sunday

New Orleans Saints defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) and offensive guard Nick Easton (concussion) will not play in the wild-card game against the Bears on Sunday. Hendrickson had a fourth-year breakout in 2020, recording career-highs in tackles (25), tackles for loss (12), QB hits (25) and sacks (13.5), with his previous high in sacks being […]

Rashaad Penny Questionable Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) was added to the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable to play against the Rams on Saturday in the wild-card playoff game. The good news is that Penny was limited in practice on Friday, but late additions to the injury report usually are never a […]

Jack Conklin Questionable For Wild-Card Game

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Jack Conklin (illness) is not practicing on Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card playoff game against the division-rival Steelers due to an illness. The good news is that Conklin hasn't tested positive for COVID-19, so there's still a chance he can play on Sunday night. Rookie left tackle […]

Antonio Gibson Officially Questionable For Wild-Card Game

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is listed as questionable to suit up against the Buccaneers. Gibson logged two limited practices this week and played in the Week 17 win so the expectation is Gibson suits up. The game being on Saturday complicates things a little, but Gibson handled his normal workload last […]

Allen Robinson II Good To Go Against Saints

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (hamstring) was taken off the final injury report for the wild-card playoff game against the Saints on Sunday. Robinson didn't practice on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday and will be active this weekend. A-Rob didn't do much in the Week 17 […]

Darnell Mooney, Roquan Smith Questionable

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle), linebacker Roquan Smith (elbow), defensive back Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and linebacker Josh Woods (gluteus, toe) are questionable for the wild-card game against the Saints on Sunday. Smith, despite not practicing all week, has a chance to play. Chicago will certainly need Smith, the No. 3 fantasy linebacker in […]

Mark Andrews Looks For Repeat Performance Against Titans

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews finished the season as one of the most efficient fantasy options at his position. Although Baltimore has turned to the running game for most of the year, the 25-year-old has remained relatively involved. While he has had his share of rough performances during the 2020 campaign, his five-catch, 96-yard, […]

Alex Smith Likely To Start Against Buccaneers

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) is still sore after practicing on a limited basis this week, but he is expected to start on Saturday night against the Buccaneers in the wild-card game despite being listed as questionable. Washington has prepared backup Taylor Heinicke more this week by giving him first-team repetitions in practice […]

Anthony Miller Must Step Up To Give Bears A Chance

Chicago Bears wide receiver Anthony Miller could be tasked with playing a bigger role in the offense against the Saints during wild-card weekend. The 26-year-old has disappointed this season and long ago was supplanted in the offense by rookie Darnell Mooney. But Mooney is dealing with a bad ankle injury and Miller must be ready […]

Don't Sleep On Marquise Brown

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown elevated his game in his second year in the league. The sophomore finished the 2020 campaign by catching 58 of his 100 targets for 769 yards and eight touchdowns.

Yankees Plan To Have Gleyber Torres At Shortstop

The New York Yankees plan remains to have shortstop Gleyber Torres continue as the starting shortstop in 2021, hopefully with DJ LeMahieu at second base if they can re-sign him. General manager Brian Cashman said this offseason that Torres "wasn't in the best shape" to begin summer camp, and he committed nine errors during the […]

T.J. Warren Undergoes Successful Surgery

Indiana Pacers forward T.J. Warren (foot) underwent successful surgery earlier this week, according to head coach Nate Bjorkgren. The Pacers have not given a timetable for his return, so expect Warren to be out for the foreseeable future. Fantasy managers can go away and stash him on the I.R. spot if available. Justin Holiday could […]
