Alexander Mattison Is Inactive On Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison is officially inactive for Monday night's game against the Green Bay Packers. This news sets the stage for Mike Boone to lead the backfield and handle the majority of running back touches against a Packers Defense that ranks 25th in rush DVOA and fantasy points allowed to the position. […]

Bruce Brown Jr. Will Not Play Monday Night

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) will not play Monday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brown is dealing with calf soreness and is being treated as day-to-day, but the Pistons will be thin in the backcourt for this one. With Brown and Luke Kennard (knee) out, Langston Galloway, Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, and Derrick Rose will all […]

Jonas Valanciunas Will Start Monday

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) will start Monday against the San Antonio Spurs. Valanciunas missed one game with a sore foot, but will return to his normal starting role in this contest. Solomon Hill will return to the bench and lose most, if not all, of his short-term fantasy value.

Malcolm Brogdon Out, Jeremy Lamb In Monday

The Indiana Pacers will be without Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring), but will see the return of Jeremy Lamb (groin) against the Toronto Raptors Monday night. Lamb will be returning after a two-game absence, but Brogdon will miss his first with a hamstring ailment. This is the second night of a back-to-back, so the Pacers could erring […]

Blake Griffin Will Try to Play on Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Blake Griffin (illness) will try to play against the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday. The good news is, Griffin is over his knee and hamstring issues, but can't seem to get over the flu. It appears he'll make an effort to play, but he seems like a risky DFS option for Monday. Christian […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Sit on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (groin) is listed as a game-time decision for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He must've tweaked his groin during Sunday's game, so the Pacers might take the cautious approach here. Aaron Holiday would benefit the most if Brogdon does sit this one out. He'd be worth a look as […]

Joel Embiid is Questionable Against Pistons

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Sixers have been cautious with Embiid throughout his career, so it wouldn't be surprising to see them hold him out against Detroit. Mike Scott, Kyle O'Quinn, and Norvel Pelle would see increased roles if Embiid sits out. […]

John Collins Won't Be Restricted on Monday

Atlanta Hawks forward John Collins (suspension) is available for Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Collins was suspended 25 games, but fantasy owners should feel safe about plugging him back into your fantasy lineups. He won't have any restrictions for Monday's contest. Collins and Trae Young will be asked to do most of the heavy […]

Leighton Vander Esch To Undergo Procedure

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) will undergo a minimally invasive procedure on his neck in the next few weeks, and he should be cleared for the offseason program, according to sources. Vander Esch has missed the last five games with a nerve issue in his neck after suffering the injury in October. The […]

Taj Gibson Might Sit Against Wizards

New York Knicks forward Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. Gibson hasn't been playing well lately and the Knicks have too many big guys. Marcus Morris (Achilles) is doubtful, so Gibson could see an uptick in minutes this game. However, Kevin Knox is looking like a decent […]

Jordan Howard To Return In Week 17

The Philadelphia Eagles will get running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) back in Week 17 against the Giants. As a result, the Eagles are releasing running back Jay Ajayi, according to a source. Howard has missed six straight games, but the Eagles will have him back in the regular season finale. If they win, they win […]

Marcus Morris is Doubtful for Monday

New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris (Achilles) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Knicks season has gone sideways and Morris has decent trade value. The team isn't going to push Morris onto the court until he's 100 percent ready to play. Taj Gibson (illness) is listed as questionable for […]

Luke Kennard is Listed as Out for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Luke Kennard (knee) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Kennard continues to deal with knee soreness and it's unclear when he'll get back on the court. The Pistons aren't playing well, so they have no incentive to rush him back to the court. Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) […]

Derrick Rose is Probable Against Sixers

Detroit Pistons guard Derrick Rose (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Pistons are going to be cautious with Rose, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit out. Luke Kennard (knee) is already ruled out, while Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) is questionable for this one. Langston Galloway […]

Bruce Brown Jr. is Questionable for Monday

Detroit Pistons guard Bruce Brown Jr. (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. He's dealing with calf soreness, but the team believes it's a day-to-day type of issue. Luke Kennard (knee) is already going to be sidelined for this one. Langston Galloway, Svi Mykhailiuk, and Derrick Rose (knee) should get […]

Derrick Henry Expected To Return In Week 17

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) is expected to return in Week 17 against the Texans, and he'll be as healthy as he's been in a long time for the must-win game. Henry's hamstring injury didn't get worse last week, but the Titans simply chose to rest their stud running back for the most […]

Jeremy Lamb is Questionable on Monday

Indiana Pacers guard/forward Jeremy Lamb (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He's missed two games in a row since he suffered this groin injury. Aaron Holiday has played well in the absence of Lamb. He'll likely see over 30 minutes again if Lamb sits out. Holiday could be a […]

Christian Wood is Probable for Monday

Detroit Pistons forward Christian Wood (knee) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This is surprising news since the Pistons announced that he'd be re-evaluated in a week. Blake Griffin seems to be always banged up and Andre Drummond has been thrown around in trade rumors. Wood and Markieff Morris could […]

Dario Saric Will Play on Monday

Phoenix Suns forward Dario Saric (leg) is available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was listed as probable heading into this one, but he's officially good to go here. He didn't play well in his last performance, but should get more chances with Deandre Ayton (ankle) sidelined on Monday. Saric could be a […]

Frank Kaminsky is Available Against Nuggets

Phoenix Suns forward Frank Kaminsky (knee) will be available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Kaminsky has been hit-or-miss this season in terms of fantasy production. Deandre Ayton (ankle) is sidelined, so Kaminsky should see an increased workload. However, he's averaged 12 minutes over the last two games. Fantasy owners should look elsewhere for […]

Ricky Rubio is Fine for Monday

Phoenix Suns guard Ricky Rubio (illness) will be available for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He missed their last game due to an illness, but it appears he's ready to return here. Elie Okobo will head back to the bench, but did play well against the Rockets last game. However, he won't have much […]

Shabazz Napier is Questionable for Monday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shabazz Napier (illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The Wolves will likely wait and see how Napier feels after warmups before making a final decision. Jeff Teague would see an increased workload if Napier is out on Monday. Teague would be worth a look for […]

Josh Jacobs Has A Chance To Play In Week 17

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) has a chance to play in the Week 17 regular season finale against the Broncos. Jacobs left his fantasy owners out to dry in the finals in Week 16, but he could return for those that are still playing for something against Denver. The 21-year-old has been […]

Rich Hill Arrested Over The Weekend

Free-agent starting pitcher Rich Hill was arrested on Saturday at Gillette Stadium before the New England Patriots game against the Bills. The 39-year-old left-hander was arrested and charged with intimidation of police along with his wife, Caitlin A. Hill, who was charged with disorderly conduct and trespassing, according to online court records. Hill tried to […]

Kyler Murray Gets Good News

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray's (hamstring) MRI exam revealed nothing alarming on Monday, according to sources. He's dealing with a regular, minor hamstring pull and has a chance to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Rams. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that if Murray is ready to go, he'll play on […]

Myles Gaskin Not Expected To Play In Week 17

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that rookie running back Myles Gaskin (ankle) isn't expected to play in the Week 17 season finale against the Patriots. With nothing to play for in Miami, it makes sense to rest the 2019 seventh-round pick. Gaskin will finish with just 36 carries for 133 yards (3.7 yards […]

Dwayne Haskins To Miss Regular Season Finale

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) will miss the Week 17 game against the Cowboys after suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 16 against the Giants. His ankle injury will require a few weeks of rest and rehab, so it'll end Haskins' rookie season. It's a shame, too, as he was finally starting […]

Lamar Jackson, Others Won't Play In Week 17

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that quarterback Lamar Jackson, safety Early Thomas, right guard Marshal Yanda and defensive tackle Brandon Williams won't play in Week 17 against the Steelers. That won't be all, as running back Mark Ingram (calf) will be held out until the Divisional Round of the playoffs after suffering a […]

Mika Zibanejad Extends Point Streak To Five Games

New York Rangers center Mika Zibanejad tallied a short-handed goal and added a primary assist as his team captured a 5-1 win over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday afternoon. With the pair of points, Zibanejad continued his electrifying play as of late, extending his personal point streak to five games (five goals, five assists). Not […]

Chris Kreider Scores Twice In Sunday's Win

New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider buried a pair of goals in his team's 5-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday. The 28-year-old scored consecutive goals in the opening frame and once again to close out the second period while also registering a plus-two rating, seven shots on goal and two hits in 16:46 […]
