DaQuan Jeffries Faces Extended Absence With Ankle Injury

Sacramento Kings shooting guard Daquan Jeffries (ankle) sustained a Grade 3 sprain of his left ankle, which is expected to keep him sidelined for a considerable period of time. Jeffries appeared in 13 games off the bench last season for the Kings and figured to be a piece that the team could utilize to begin […]

John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Gordon Set To Play Thursday

The Houston Rockets are set to get reinforcements back for Thursday's game versus the Kings. The trio of point guard John Wall, center DeMarcus Cousins, and shooting guard Eric Gordon have all been cleared to practice, and are in line to play for the first time this season after missing three contests due to the […]

Josh Richardson Gets Green Light To Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard/small forward Josh Richardson has been cleared to play in Wednesday's contest versus Charlotte. Richardson popped up on the injury report due to a strained calf, but it won't cause him to miss any time as of now. Entering play Wednesday, Richardson ranks second on the Mavericks with 16.7 PPG, having fired […]

Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Logs Starting Five Spot Wednesday

Brooklyn Nets shooting guard/small forward Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot remained in the team's starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks, replacing the recently injured Spencer Dinwiddie (knee). Luwawu-Cabarrot drew his first start of the year Monday, but that came without Kyrie Irving or Kevin Durant in the lineup due to rest purposes; now, he'll get to […]

Avery Bradley, Andre Iguodala Draw Starts Wednesday

The Miami Heat shook up their starting five for Wednesday's contest versus the Bucks, just 24 hours after a blowout defeat. Shooting guard Avery Bradley and small/power forward Andre Iguodala joined the starting five with Jimmy Butler (ankle) ruled out. Both Bradley and Iguodala give the Heat a suffocating defensive presence, although both are shaky […]

Portland Deems Zach Collins Out Indefinitely After Ankle Surgery

Portland Trail Blazers power forward/center Zach Collins (ankle) does not have a timetable to return to action after undergoing ankle surgery to repair a stress fracture. Having started all 11 games that he appeared in for Portland last year before injuries struck, Collins' ascension into a nightly double-double threat has been put on hold. With […]

James Ennis Remains Sidelined To Begin Season

Orlando Magic small forward James Ennis (hamstring) will not make his season debut Thursday versus Philadelphia due to a strained right hamstring. Having been listed as out more than 24 hours prior to tip-off, it doesn't appear as if a return is imminent for Ennis, who figures to factor into the Magic's wing rotation when […]

Isaac Okoro Set To Miss Third Straight Game Thursday

Cleveland Cavaliers small forward Isaac Okoro (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game versus the Pacers, not making the start of the road trip alongside his teammates. The fact that Okoro is dealing with the league's COVID-19 protocols in addition to a foot injury does not bode well for his prospects of suiting up […]

George Hill On Track To Return For Thursday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point/shooting guard George Hill (neck) was not listed on the team's latest injury report, an indication that he is likely to suit up for Thursday's contest versus New Orleans. Hill missed Tuesday's game due to a neck ailment, which allowed Justin Jackson to join the starting five. With Jackson not having played […]

T.J. Warren Ruled Out For Thursday’s Contest

Indiana Pacers small forward T.J. Warren (foot) will miss Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sore left foot, marking his first absence of the year. The injury appears to be significant enough that the Pacers ruled him out more than 24 hours before tip-off. Justin Holiday is the likeliest candidate to enter the […]

LaMarcus Aldridge Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

San Antonio Spurs power forward/center LaMarcus Aldridge (knee) has been deemed inactive for Wednesday's contest versus the Lakers. Aldridge is coming off a four-point performance in his most recent outing, with his absence likely paving the way for Jakob Poeltl to take on an increased role in the frontcourt. Rudy Gay also saw an increased […]

Jayson Tatum Won't Face Minutes Limit Wednesday

Boston Celtics small/power forward Jayson Tatum (thumb) has been given the green light to play in Wednesday's contest versus the Grizzlies. Tatum earned a questionable designation earlier in the day on the second leg of a back-to-back, but with Tristan Thompson (hamstring) sitting out, Tatum will be on the floor and could see increased rebound […]

Cowboys Defense Has Been On A Roll Lately

The Dallas Cowboys Defense has been on an impressive run lately, finishing as a top-five fantasy defense in the past three games. This came after finishing as a top-12 option only twice in their previous 12 games. Essentially, the Cowboys defense seems to have become the very rare boom-or-bust fantasy defense. With a good matchup […]

Greg Zuerlein Looks To Continue His Roll In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein had been good enough throughout the season with some flashes of upside, but he's finished as the No. 3 fantasy kicker twice and the No. 6 kicker the other time in his last three games. For the season, he has made 30 of his 37 field-goal tries and 32 of […]

Dalton Schultz Has A Decent Floor

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz has developed into a younger version of Jason Witten; he's a Cowboys tight end who you know won't leave you with a donut, but he lacks much of a ceiling, especially with Andy Dalton under center. Schultz has finished as a TE1 four times this season and has caught […]

Michael Gallup Looks To Follow Up His Eruption From Last Week

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup ended up as the overall WR4 last week, catching six passes for 121 yards and two touchdowns. It was his best game of the season by far, as he posted 27 fantasy points. He's averaged around nine points per game, and has finished as a top-20 fantasy receiver just […]

CeeDee Lamb Looks For A Strong End To His Rookie Season

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb scored two touchdowns last week, one through the air and one on the ground. He'll look for another solid game in Week 17 to wrap up his first regular season in the NFL. The Cowboys and Lamb will take on the New York Giants in what is a […]

Amari Cooper A Solid WR2 Option In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper rebounded in Week 16 after an awful performance in Week 15. Two weeks ago, Cooper posted just one fantasy point and ended up as the WR107. Last week, he put up a much more solid 14 points and ended up as the WR20. Cooper and the Cowboys take on […]

Tristan Thompson Won't Play On Wednesday

Boston Celtics center Tristan Thompson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He has been bothered by a hamstring injury lately, so he'll take the night off to rest. It sounds like Thompson should be fine for their next contest, but is just sitting out the second game of a […]

Tony Pollard Looks For A Better Game In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard had a rough Week 16, totaling just 20 yards against the Eagles. That was after a Week 15 performance that saw him finish as the overall RB2, but with starter Ezekiel Elliott back in there in Week 16, Pollard went back to his reserve role and didn't break off […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Upside In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott had his second 100-yard rushing game of the season in Week 16 and his second RB1 performance since Andy Dalton took over as starting quarterback. Elliott ran for 105 yards and added four catches for 34 more yards. In Week 17, he'll get a New York Giants Defense that […]

Jayson Tatum In Danger Of Sitting Out

Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (thumb) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Tatum had tape around his hand on Tuesday, but it certainly didn't seem to hurt his play. He scored 27 points with 11 rebounds and four assists on Tuesday. Jaylen Brown, Grant Williams, and Semi Ojeleye will be […]

Packers Defense Adds Damon Harrison

The Green Bay Packers claimed defensive lineman Damon "Snacks" Harrison off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday. Harrison requested his release late last week and was granted it on Tuesday, and the run-stuffing defensive tackle didn't go without a team for long. The 32-year-old was a first-team All-Pro with the Giants in 2016 and […]

Danilo Gallinari Should Play On Wednesday

Atlanta Hawks forward Danilo Gallinari (foot) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He suffered a foot injury in the season opener and hasn't been able to suit up since then. It'll be interesting to see how Gallinari fits in with John Collins and Clint Capela. He's probably worth rostering in […]

Andy Dalton Makes For A Decent QB2 Option In Week 17

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton ended up as the overall QB3 last week with 377 passing yards and three touchdowns, but that was his first QB1 performance of the season. Dalton has developed a decent enough fantasy floor as a quarterback but outside of Week 16 has not shown any real upside. Facing off against […]

Rui Hachimura Will Play Against Bulls

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (eye) is available for Thursday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. He has been away from the team with pink eye, but will make his season debut on Thursday. The Wizards are off to an 0-4 start, but Hachimura should give them a lift. Isaac Bonga will head to the bench […]

Eagles Defense Has A Favorable Week 17 Matchup

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense has a good matchup on paper in Week 17 against the Washington Football Team. Washington may be forced to start quarterback Taylor Heinicke in place of the injured Alex Smith. Even if Smith is able to start, he'll likely be limited with a calf injury. The Eagles have allowed at least […]

Clint Capela Available Versus Nets

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) is available for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Capela had a lackluster season debut, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much to change here. Danilo Gallinari (foot) is probable to play and John Collins will get heavy minutes. Capela might only play about 20 minutes, so there shouldn't be […]

Jimmy Butler Ruled Out For Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He sat out of Tuesday's contest and he was clearly missed as the Heat were blown out. The Heat attempted to use a committee approach to fill the void, but it didn't work too well. Kendrick Nunn and […]

Jake Elliott Off The Week 17 Fantasy Radar

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is not a fantasy option in Week 17. Elliott has made just 14 of his 19 field goal tries and 22 of his 24 extra points. Not only has he not been particularly accurate, he's also not getting very many chances. He's been a top-12 fantasy kicker just once all […]
