Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook is likely going to rest during back-to-back sets, according to head coach Scott Brooks.

To be fair, […]

Harry Giles III Looks Impressive During Camp

Portland Trail Blazers center Harry Giles III has reportedly looked impressive during training camp and in the preseason, according to head coach Terry Stotts. However, it doesn't sound like Giles will have a significant role to begin the season. It appears Enes Kanter is a lock for the backup center role right now. That means, […]

Daniel Theis Might Sit Out On Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Daniel Theis (back) is currently listed as questionable for Tuesday's preseason matchup. Tristan Thompson (hamstring) will sit this one out as well and could miss some games to begin the regular season. Theis is expected to have a bigger role with Thompson injured, so hopefully this back issue is minor. Robert Williams […]

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) didn't aggravate his hamstring injury in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals, but head coach Joe Judge will make a determination on Tuesday on whether Jones will get some work in practice this week.

Washington Optimistic About Alex Smith

The Washington Football Team is optimistic about quarterback Alex Smith's (calf) chances of starting in Week 15 against the Seahawks, although he's expected to be limited in practice this week.

Marquise Brown Finds The End Zone Against Cleveland

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Marquise Brown racked up 50 yards and a touchdown off two catches during the win over Cleveland on Monday night.

The Cut List (Week 15) - Time to Let Go?

I don't know if there is a more frustrating aspect of fantasy football than the double-bladed sword we refer to as "patience."

Early-Round Fades and Overvalued Studs

Entering 2021, there is a bit of recency bias in the early ADP as well as an overall sense of unknown entering 2021 as a whole in terms of what rules are in place, where players are going to hit in the lineup or even where many players will play and how that could affect […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 24% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Keelan Cole has been a bouncy play through the whole season; can't lie about that.
