Portland Trail Blazer center Enes Kanter scored 11 points on 4-for-9 shooting and added 15 rebounds in Saturday's win over the Sacramento Kings.

He added nine rebounds and two assists with three turnovers. Herro had managed only 15 total points in the previous two games, so it was a big bounce-back performance. […]

Rudy Gay (SF/PF, SA) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 28% of leagues ANALYSIS: Rudy Gay was once a big-time scorer in the league, averaging as many as 20.1 points per game back in 2008 with Memphis, but he has carved out a concrete role over the last four seasons with the Spurs as a high-volume scorer […]

Denzel Valentine (SG/SF, CHI) - Week 4 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of leagues ANALYSIS: At 27, Denzel Valentine easily qualifies for the elder-half of the Chicago Bulls roster, and he has managed to maintain a workable level of playing time (17.5 minutes per game) and, like his other three seasons in Chicago, used that time to produce […]

Buccaneers Defense OK In Playoff Win

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers Defense struggled a bit in a 31-23 win over the Washington Football Team. Tampa Bay had two sacks and an interception but allowed 375 yards and 23 points. The Buccaneers did rack up six quarterback hits- a good sign for their ability to pressure the passer. They'll either face the Saints […]

Terry McLaurin Records 75 Yards In Playoff Loss

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin caught six passes for 75 yards in a loss to Tampa Bay in the wild-card round.

Steven Sims Jr. Catches Touchdown In Playoff Loss

Washington Football Team wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. caught three of four targets for 33 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Buccaneers. Sims Jr. got lose on a corner route and made a beautiful catch near the sideline on a perfectly thrown ball from Taylor Heinicke. Despite the score on the national […]

Rob Gronkowski Has Quiet Game

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski saw just one target in a 31-23 win over the Washington Football Team. Gronkowski was used as a blocker against Washington's tough front, which limited his opportunities as a pass-catcher. The veteran tight end was overshadowed by Cameron Brate's strong performance, as the latter delivered 80 yards. While […]

Cam Sims Leads Washington In Receiving Versus Bucs

Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims led Washington with seven catches for 104 yards in a loss to the Buccaneers in the wild-card round. Sims was targeted a season-high 13 times by Taylor Heinicke who started for Alex Smith (calf). Sims certainly made a name for himself on the playoff stage, but the 100-yard […]

Cameron Brate Posts Season-High 80 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate caught four of six targets for 80 receiving yards in a playoff win over Washington. Brate was a threat downfield for Tom Brady, as he averaged a robust 20 yards per reception en route to a season-best receiving performance. The veteran tight end saw more looks as a […]

Antonio Brown Catches 36-Yard Touchdown In Victory

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown made his mark on a 31-23 playoff win over Washington, despite only seeing two targets. Brown made a huge first-quarter play, hauling in a 36-yard touchdown from Tom Brady to give Tampa Bay a 9-0 lead. The big plays keep coming for Brown, as he has now found […]

Washington Defense Records Three Sacks In Playoff Loss

The Washington Football Team defense recorded three sacks, but couldn't slow down Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in a wild-card round loss. Tampa Bay had over 500 yards of total offense and put up 31 points, a number that could've easily been worse if not for a couple of goal-to-go stops to force field goal […]

Chris Godwin Finds End Zone, Has Drop-Filled Performance

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin hauled in five of 12 targets for 79 yards and a score in a playoff victory over Washington. Godwin caught his first career touchdown on a 27-yard throw from Tom Brady but also struggled with drops. He had just four in his career coming into the game before […]

Khris Middleton Racks Up Game-High 27 Points During Win

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton morphed into the team's No. 1 scoring option with Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) held out for Saturday's victory over the Cavaliers. Middleton has proven to be a consistent fantasy contributor even with Antetokounmpo on the floor, but he went for a game-high 27 points Saturday, shooting 10-for-16 from the field […]

J.D. McKissic Finds End Zone In Wild-Card Round

Washington Football Team running back J.D. McKissic rushed twice for five yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Buccaneers on Saturday. McKissic added eight yards on two catches in the passing game. McKissic was on the field a lot for Washington, but seemed to do more blocking than route running as the passing-down […]

Damyean Dotson Drops 21 Points During Start

Cleveland Cavaliers shooting guard Damyean Dotson once again drew a start as the team's emergency point guard during Saturday's loss to the Bucks, but parlayed his role into a 21-point, eight-assist performance across his 41 minutes of action. Having started three of the previous four games for the Cavs due to the immense injury concerns […]

Antonio Gibson Quiet In Playoff Loss

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson rushed 14 times for 31 yards in a wild-card round loss to the Buccaneers. Gibson added two catches for four receiving yards. Gibson's 2.2 yards-per-carry was his lowest of the season as there were no running lanes against a stout Tampa run defense. The future remains bright for […]

Mike Evans Battles Through Injury For Team-High 119 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans caught six of 10 targets for 119 receiving yards in a win over Washington. Evans wasn't at full strength, though it sure didn't seem like it, as he reeled off big play after big play. His biggest play came in a fourth-quarter drive, where he hauled in a […]

Andre Drummond Compiles Season-High 24 Boards In Defeat

Cleveland Cavaliers center Andre Drummond posted his 10th consecutive double-double to kick off the 2020-21 year versus Milwaukee on Saturday, amassing a whopping 26 points and season-high 24 rebounds during the loss. With Cleveland tremendously short-handed in the back court due to a myriad  of injuries, Drummond has continued to chug along with consistent production, […]

Taylor Heinicke Plays Strong Game In Playoff Loss To Bucs

Washington Football Team quarterback Taylor Heinicke put forth an incredible effort in his second career start, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Buccaneers in the first round of the playoffs. Heinicke, playing for an injured Alex Smith (calf), was 26-for-44 passing for 306 yards and a touchdown. Heinicke's most impressive work, however, was on […]

Leonard Fournette Fills In Admirably With 132 Yards, Touchdown

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette was pushed into the starter's role during Saturday night's 31-23 playoff win over Washington after teammate Ronald Jones II (quad) suffered a pre-game injury. Fournette earned a season-high 23 touches in Jones' absence- and looked like the player who posted two 1000-yard seasons in Jacksonville. This backfield has […]

Logan Thomas Goes For 74 Yards In Playoff Loss

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas caught five passes for 74 yards in a loss to the Buccaneers in the wild-card round. Thomas became a huge part of the team's offense down the stretch and was heavily involved in this game with nine targets. Washington found a playmaker in the former quarterback who figures […]
