J.J. Redick Expected To Play Friday

New Orleans Pelicans guard J.J. Redick (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The veteran guard left Wednesday's game with a knee contusion and didn't suit up for practice on Thursday. However, it sounds like the team was just playing it safe with Redick. He has been a poor fantasy […]

Brandon Saad Cleared For Practice

Colorado Avalanche left wing Brandon Saad returned to practice on Friday after missing the past four days with an undisclosed ailment. The 28-year-old was traded to the Avalanche during the offseason and looks poised for an uptick in fantasy value. Saad will probably slot in on the second line alongside Nazem Kadri and Gabriel Landeskog […]

Corey Crawford Taking Indefinite Leave Of Absence From Team

New Jersey Devils goaltender Corey Crawford is taking an indefinite leave of absence from the team because of personal reasons. The veteran netminder has missed the past five days of training camp. The longtime Blackhawk has had an unfortunate bout with concussions in the past few seasons, and the Devils looked like a fresh start. […]

Stars Close Team Facility Due To Positive COVID-19 Tests

The Dallas Stars had six players and two staffers test positive for COVID-19 on Friday, pushing their season opener back to Jan. 19 at the earliest. The team facility will be closed for an indefinite amount of time. This is a disheartening thing to see just five days before the start of the NHL season, […]

Patrice Bergeron Named 20th Captain In Bruins History

Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron was named the 20th captain in franchise history on Thursday. Now that Zdeno Chara is a member of the Washington Capitals, there was an opening at the leadership position. Bergeron has been with the Bruins for all 16 seasons of his NHL career. He tallied 56 points in 61 games […]

Eight races will feature qualifying in 2021: the Daytona 500, the Coca-Cola 600, and the season-finale at Phoenix, as well as the five new races on the schedule: the Bristol dirt race, […]

NFL Wild Card Weekend: Drew Deen's Player Pool & Exposures (Premium Content)

All other Premium Tools can be accessed on the premium dashboard. Thanks to all of the Rotoballers for a fantastic season thus far.  It feels like Christmas again with Wild Card weekend here.  As I stated on the DFS preview show, this is my second favorite sports weekend of the year next to the opening […]

Dawson Knox Has Minimal Upside Versus Colts

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox saw a career-high eight targets during the regular season finale versus the Miami Dolphins. However, it's unlikely that happens again versus the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. Knox put together a few productive games this season, but was often times lost in the shuffle. The Bills offense is just too […]

Gabriel Davis An Intriguing Option For Saturday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis finished off the 2020 regular season with a bang. He hauled in two of his five targets for a career-high 107 yards and one touchdown in the win over the Miami Dolphins. It has been a fairly successful season for Davis despite being buried on the depth chart at […]

Cole Beasley A Risky Option On Wild-Card Weekend

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (knee) is currently listed as questionable for Saturday's playoff matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. He was unable to play in Week 17, but has been able to get in some limited work this week. It's unclear whether or not Beasley will be able to suit up here. That being […]

John Brown Might Have WR3 Value

Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown had a disappointing and injury plagued 2020 season. However, he was able to haul in all four of his targets for 72 yards and one touchdown in the regular season finale. Hopefully, Brown is actually healthy and ready to make some noise against the Indianapolis Colts this weekend. He […]

Stefon Diggs Has Huge Upside Versus Indy

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs (oblique) was able to return to practice on Thursday. Diggs has only been able to get in a limited amount of reps this week, but it's highly unlikely he sits out of this playoff matchup. He hauled in 127 receptions, 1,535 yards, and eight touchdowns during the regular season. […]

Zack Moss A Poor Choice For Wild-Card Weekend

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss had a decent rookie campaign, considering he split up the workload with Devin Singletary. The third-round pick rushed for nearly 500 yards and scored four touchdowns in 13 games. Sadly, it's tough to imagine Moss having much fantasy appeal in the first round of the postseason against the Indianapolis […]

Devin Singletary A Risky Option Against Colts

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has been unable to get much going on the ground over the last two games. To be fair, Singletary was limited to three carries in Week 17, but he hasn't looked the same in the second half. Rookie Zack Moss gets a majority of the work in the red […]

Alvin Kamara Says He'll Be Back Sunday

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who tested positive for COVID-19 last week and missed the Week 17 win over the Panthers, said he'll be back for Sunday's wild-card game against the Bears. However, he's not back with the team and must wait the mandatory 10 days before he's allowed to return. But he […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/8/21): NBA DFS Lineups

With 10-game slates back on the table for the NBA, it makes for a ton of captivating ways for fantasy managers to pack DFS lineups with star power. Unfortunately, some of that star power is unavailable, creating a wave of value plays that should compliment high-priced assets. In terms of games to focus upon, Friday […]

Josh Allen Has Strong Fantasy Appeal Against Colts

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen surprised quite a few people and put himself in the MVP conversation this season. He threw for 4,544 yards with 37 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and that was just what he did through the air. Allen also made a significant impact with his legs. The former first round pick is […]

Jaguars To Meet With Urban Meyer For Head-Coaching Job

The Jacksonville Jaguars plan to meet with Urban Meyer on Friday to continue discussing the team's head-coaching vacancy, according to sources. No deal is imminent and the Jaguars have at least one more interview scheduled. Jacksonville has already interviewed Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bienemy and Falcons interim head coach Raheem Morris, with 49ers defensive coordinator […]

LPL DFS Picks for 1/9: DraftKings & Fanduel League of Legends Daily Fantasy

We are back and better than ever! Not hardly two weeks removed from the preseason cups, and we leap into the regular season of the LPL. January 9th is the earliest start date we've ever had, and that means we'll see an entire month of contests before the Lunar New Year break. Typically, it has […]

LeBron James Leads Lakers With 27 Points

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James scored a team-high 27 points in Thursday's losing effort against San Antonio, adding 12 assists and six rebounds.

DeMar DeRozan Gets Going Again Versus Lakers

San Antonio Spurs shooting guard DeMar DeRozan did a little bit of everything in Thursday's 118-109 win over the Lakers, finishing with 19 points, eight assists, four rebounds, two steals, and one block. He shot 5-for-13 from the field, including 2-for-6 beyond the arc, and 7-for-8 at the charity stripe. It was a really good […]

Cam Sims An Intriguing Fantasy Option In Playoff Opener

Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims became a bigger part of the offense down the stretch and is an interesting fantasy option on Saturday versus Tampa Bay. Sims saw 22 targets in the last three games catching 13 passes for 132 yards. On the season, Sims caught 32 passes for 477 yards and one […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Leads Spurs In Shocking Win Over Lakers

San Antonio Spurs forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge recorded a game-high 28 points on 11-for-18 shooting in Thursday's 118-109 win over the Lakers. He went 3-for-7 from deep, adding five rebounds and three assists in what was his second game back from injury. Aldridge started the season really slow, but maybe he can get going now after […]

Jamal Murray Bounces Back Thursday Night

Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray produced a good bounce-back effort on Thursday following Tuesday's 13-point performance against Minnesota, finishing with 21 points and nine assists in a 124-117 overtime loss to Dallas. Murray was very quiet against the Timberwolves, but he was heavily involved this time, shooting 8-for-19 from the field and 3-for-9 from […]

D'Angelo Russell Drops 26 Points In Loss To Portland

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell shot 9-for-16 from the field and 3-for-7 from beyond the arc in Thursday's blowout loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He dropped 26 points in the game, but was out-dueled by Damian Lillard, who scored a season-high 39. Russell only had three assists in the game, which tied a […]

Nikola Jokic Produces Season-High 38 Points

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic recorded his second consecutive 30-point game on Thursday, going for 38 points in an overtime loss to Dallas. He shot 14-for-31 from the field, including 4-for-10 from behind the arc, adding 11 rebounds with four assists and two steals. Jokic was a triple-double machine in the first couple of weeks […]

Anthony Edwards Drops Season-High 26 Points

Minnesota Timberwolves rookie shooting guard Anthony Edwards had one of the best games of his young career Thursday night against the Portland Trail Blazers. Edwards shot 9-for-21 from the field and dropped a season-high 26 points in the game. He hit three threes and also added four rebounds and two steals with four turnovers. Edwards […]

Luka Doncic Just Misses Second Consecutive Triple-Double

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic was very close to a second consecutive triple-double on Thursday, racking up 38 points, 13 assists, and nine rebounds in a 124-117 overtime victory against Denver. Luka shot 13-for-22 from the field and he also put in some nice work defensively with four steals and one block. Doncic has […]

Damian Lillard Scores Season-High 39 Points

Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard was red-hot in Thursday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Lillard shot 13 of 21 from the field, including seven of 12 from three, and dropped a season-high 39 points. He also added seven rebounds, seven assists and three steals and had only one turnover. Lillard's numbers so far […]
