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. Despite the Ravens' commitment to the run, Hollywood finished the season strong by finding the end zone in five of […]

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 […]

Aaron Gordon Won't Play Versus Rockets

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. This is likely more of a precaution than Gordon actually being unable to play. The team will hold Gordon out of the front end of a back-to-back set. The Magic are a bit shorthanded right now, so Terrence […]

Taj Gibson Won't Make Season Debut On Friday

New York Knicks center Taj Gibson will not be making his season debut against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The newly signed big man will likely need to go through protocols before being allowed to play. His presence shouldn't impact Mitchell Robinson, but Nerlens Noel could see a significant hit to his fantasy value once Gibson […]

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 2021 Cup Series Races Will Feature Qualifying

After canceling qualifying last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the NASCAR Cup Series plans to slowly return to using it in 2021. 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. The King was in great form from downtown, shooting 4-for-7, and he finished with 8-for-15 overall shooting from the field and with a 7-for-11 record at the line. James was one […]

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 […]
