Deandre Ayton is Listed as Out for Friday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (ankle) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He was able to practice on Thursday, but it appears he'll sit out Friday due to a sprained right ankle. The Suns are going to be cautious with their star center, so he'll likely sit out until […]

Michael Carter-Williams Ruled Out for Friday

Orlando Magic guard Michael Carter-Williams (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the second game in a row that Carter-Williams has been sidelined. It's unclear at the moment how long he's going to be out. D.J. Augustin and Wesley Iwundu will gain some playing time until Carter-Williams returns. […]

PJ Washington Should Return on Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward PJ Washington (finger) is expected to suit up for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington has missed the last five games with a pinky issue, but is probable for Friday. Nicolas Batum should head back to the second unit, while Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is probably bounced out of the rotation. Washington […]

Eric Paschall is Questionable for Friday

Golden State Warriors forward Eric Paschall (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He left Wednesday's contest against the Rockets and didn't return after playing only seven minutes. Draymond Green, Marquese Chriss, and possibly Willie Cauley-Stein will gain value if Paschall is sidelined on Friday. Green and Cauley-Stein are the only two […]

Kevon Looney Ruled Out for Weekend Set

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (abdominal) has been ruled out for the next two games. Looney is dealing with soreness in his abdominal and won't suit up for Friday or Saturday's contest. Willie Cauley-Stein will gain some playing time and should be worth adding in most formats. Omari Spellman and Marquese Chriss could see […]

Marcus Smart is Questionable on Friday

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (eye) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Smart is reportedly feeling better after dealing with an eye infection the last week or so. It sounds like he'll be back in action on Friday and shouldn't be limited at all. Brad Wanamaker would lose basically all […]

Robert Covington is Not Listed on Injury Report

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robert Covington (head) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He's been going through a difficult time lately and left Monday's game after getting hit in the head. It appears he's fine for Thursday, but DFS owners should remain cautious. Covington is in a solid […]

Darren Waller A TE1 Versus Broncos

Oakland Raiders tight end Darren Waller has a good matchup versus the Broncos this Sunday to close out his 2019 breakout campaign. The 27-year-old put up a sterling 7/70/0 line versus Denver in Week 1, and should see the majority of the team's passing volume once again in this road contest. Waller has led the […]

Derek Carr A Risky Week 17 Option

Oakland Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has posted two 20-point fantasy performances over his last three weeks, but will face a tougher test this Sunday versus the Broncos. The Denver defense has surrendered the sixth-fewest passing yards in the league (215.3 YPG), and the seventh-fewest fantasy points to the position this season (14.7 FPPG). They've also […]

Josh Jacobs Had Surprise Surgery Wednesday

Oakland Raiders running back Josh Jacobs posted videos of himself online Wednesday night after undergoing what he deemed the "fastest surgery ever." The rookie has missed two of the last three games with a shoulder injury, but the image shows his lower left leg in bandages. It's unclear exactly what caused the unexpected procedure to […]

Falcons Defense Is Best To Avoid In Week 17

The Falcons Defense has performed adequately well over the past few weeks, but it's still been a rough year on the whole for the unit. This week, the Falcons face the Buccaneers, a team that put up 35 points on them about a month ago. While the Falcons defense should be able to keep Jameis […]

Younghoe Koo Is A Worthy Starter In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has only hit two field goals over the past two weeks, but his track record on the season still remains strong. Plus, the Falcons should find themselves in plenty of scoring opportunities in Week 17 against the Buccaneers. Koo has hit 18 of his 21 field goal attempts on the […]

Austin Hooper Is A Must-Start In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper had a solid bounce-back game in Week 16 against the Jaguars. He caught seven of his nine targets for 82 yards in the game. This week, Hooper and the Falcons face a vulnerable Buccaneers pass defense and they might be without star receiver Julio Jones (knee) in the game. […]

Russell Gage A Solid Option For PPR Play In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is in a good place going into Week 17. Gage has caught five or more passes in four of his past five games. This week, Gage and the Falcons face a very favorable matchup against a generous Buccaneers pass defense. The team might be without Julio Jones (knee) in […]

Qadree Ollison Too Risky To Start In Week 17

The Atlanta Falcons have continued to utilize rookie running back Qadree Ollison effectively in goal-line situations throughout the season's second half. He has scored four touchdowns since November 17, despite seeing only 18 total carries over that stretch. Ollison is the definition of a touchdown-or-bust running back and his workload is too low to enable […]

Brian Hill Isn't Worth Fantasy Consideration In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons running back Brian Hill saw seven carries in Week 16 against the Jaguars and made the most of them. He rushed for 66 yards in the game, good for 9.4 yards per carry. However, Devonta Freeman stole the show, gaining over 120 total yards in the game and adding two touchdowns. Hill should […]

Devonta Freeman Is An RB2 In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman had his best game of the year in Week 16, compiling 127 total yards and two touchdowns. He caught a season-high nine passes in the game. This week, Freeman and the Falcons face the Buccaneers, who have been solid against the run this year, but Freeman does so much […]

Matt Ryan Is Trustworthy In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan threw for 384 passing yards in Week 16, his second-highest yardage output of the season. This week, Ryan and the Falcons have a favorable matchup against a very vulnerable Buccaneers pass defense. Ryan should be able to top 300 yards once again in the game, however his upside would take […]

Even better, we get six more games on Thursday as a follow-up. Let's see if we can find some value plays on Monkey Knife Fight to keep […]

Julio Jones Is A Must-Start If Active In Week 17

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) has been held out of practice so far this week and his status for Week 17 against the Buccaneers is currently in question. If he misses the game, Matt Ryan takes a small hit, while Austin Hooper, Russell Gage and Devonta Freeman would get a boost. If Jones […]

Bills Defense In A Decent Spot For Week 17 Production

The Bills Defense has been exceptional this year and they go into Week 17 facing a Jets offense that ranks dead last in the league in yards per game (273.1). On paper, the Bills would appear to be in perfect shape for a dominant fantasy week. However, the team is locked into the fifth seed […]

Dawson Knox Isn't Trustworthy In Week 17

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox hasn't produced a solid fantasy game since Week 11 against the Dolphins, when he caught two passes for 32 yards and a touchdown. He has just two touchdowns on the year and has only topped 50 receiving yards in a game on three occasions. This week, the Bills face […]

NCAA Prospects To Watch For Dynasty Leagues: Bowl Week Two

This edition will breakdown all games post-Christmas but before New Year's Eve, and then we'll finish up with a Post-New Years edition […]

Cole Beasley Has Low-End PPR Value In Week 17

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley posted his second 100-yard game of the year in Week 16 against the Patriots. This week, Beasley and the Bills face the Jets in a game that is essentially meaningless for the Bills as they are locked into the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs. The team has reported […]

Fantasy Basketball Mid-Week Pickups for Week 10

Christmas Day in the NBA has come and gone, providing its traditional blend of star power and entertaining basketball -- even in ways more unique than what we've grown accustomed to. With the passing of Dec. 25, the 2019-20 season is unofficially underway! Outliers no longer exist and the greater identity of each of the […]

John Brown Is Best To Avoid In Week 17 Vs Jets

There appears to be a solid chance that Buffalo Bills wide receiver John Brown will sit out the team's Week 17 game against the Jets. The Bills are locked into the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs, so it would make sense if they chose to rest their top offensive playmaker. Even if Brown does […]

T.J. Yeldon Still Not Relevant For Fantasy Play

Buffalo Bills running back T.J. Yeldon has been inactive for nine straight games as the team has gone exclusively with Devin Singletary and Frank Gore in their backfield. The team hasn't announced a change of plans for Yeldon in Week 17 against the Jets. However, since the Bills are locked into the fifth seed in […]

Frank Gore Should Be Avoided In Week 17

Buffalo Bills running back Frank Gore has been held under 20 rushing yards in three straight games, despite a total of 23 carries over that stretch. With the Bills locked into the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs, it's hard to know how much the Bills will deploy Gore and No. 1 running back Devin […]
