Cam Reddish Will Start on Thursday

Atlanta Hawks forward Cam Reddish (hip) is going to jump into the starting five for Thursday's season opener against the Detroit Pistons. Reddish will be limited to 25 minutes per game until he's back to full health. He looked decent in the preseason, but is only a deep league option to start the season in […]

Maximilian Kleber to Draw the Start on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maximilian Kleber is expected to join the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Washington Wizards. Dwight Powell (hamstring) is going to be sidelined for the first couple games of the season. Kleber played well in the starting lineup during the preseason, so hopefully that continues into the regular season. He […]

Drew Brees Could Be Game-Time Decision

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said that he might wait until Sunday morning to decide whether quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) will play against the Cardinals in Week 8. Brees has made a quick recovery and could return this weekend to a fantastic matchup against the Cardinals, although they did just get shutdown cornerback […]

Patrick Mahomes Not Being Ruled Out For Week 8

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) will practice on Wednesday, but backup Matt Moore will take the "majority" of the team repetitions. Reid isn't ruling out Mahomes for Week 8 against the Packers just yet. Mahomes is expected to miss three to five weeks after dislocating his kneecap […]

Devin Booker Appears to Be Fine

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (finger) didn't appear to have anything on his hand during Wednesday's shootaround. Booker suffered a sprained left middle finger on Monday, but the injury sounds minor. He should be fine for the season opener and has top 15-20 fantasy upside going into the season.

Willie Cauley-Stein is Making Progress

Golden State Warriors center Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) has been ramping up his activities and did some cutting and running. Cauley-Stein missed the preseason due to a left foot issue, but is about 80 percent right now. Kevon Looney (hamstring) and Marquese Chriss will handle the center spot while Cauley-Stein works his way back to the […]

Adrian Peterson, Steven Sims Questionable Against Vikings

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (ankle) and wide receiver Steven Sims Jr. (toe) were both limited in practice on Wednesday and are questionable for Thursday night against the Vikings. Peterson is dealing with a high ankle sprain, so it seems unlikely he'll be able to play on Thursday despite the fact that he insists […]

Chris Thompson, Vernon Davis Ruled Out For Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) and tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) have both been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Vikings. Davis was limited in practice all week, but Thompson didn't practice at all and isn't a lock to return in Week 9. Davis appears to be making progress, but fantasy […]

Erik Karlsson Heating Up In San Jose

San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson netted a goal and added an assist in his team's 4-3 overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday. With his two points in the contest, the swift-skating Karlsson extended his personal point streak to five games - a span in which he's posted seven points (one goal, six […]

Carlos Correa Must Cut Down On Strikeouts

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa struggled in Game 1, striking out three times and stranding three men on base in the Astros 5-4 loss to the Nationals in the World Series. Correa has popped two home runs during this season's postseason run but, for the most part, it has been a struggle offensively. The 25-year-old […]

Jack Eichel Explodes With Four Points On Tuesday

Buffalo Sabres center Jack Eichel registered a pair of goals and two assists in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime victory over the visiting San Jose Sharks. The 22-year-old had a hand in all four of Buffalo's goals in the contest, including the game-winner on a rebound opportunity just over three minutes into the extra frame. In addition, […]

George Springer Slugging 1.094 Career In World Series

Houston Astros outfielder George Springer made history in Game 1, hitting a home run in his fifth straight World Series game in the team's 5-4 loss to the Nationals. Springer went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run, two walks, two runs scored and two runs batted in. There are few as dangerous as Springer […]

Ryan Zimmerman Slugging .515 Lifetime In Playoffs

Washington Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman hit his fifth career postseason home run in the Nationals 5-4 Game 1 win over the Astros in the World Series. Zimmerman took the once-dominant Astros starter Gerrit Cole deep in the second inning of Game 1 and is a strong bet to make the starting lineup against Justin […]

Saquon Barkley Take Backseat To Passing Game On Sunday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley's matchup on Sunday is tougher than it looks at first glance. On the season, the Lions allow the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs; however, a lot of that has to do with an earlier injury to defensive tackle Damon Harrison. Over the last three games, the Lions […]

Yordan Alvarez Looking To Build Off Game 1

Houston Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez will try and build off his 2-for-3 performance in Game 1 of the World Series. Alvarez also drew a walk and reached base three times for the first time in the postseason. The rookie is coming off an ALCS where he hit only .045 and is hitting .205 over […]

Adam Eaton Has Five-Game Hitting Streak

Washington Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton will take a five-game playoff hitting streak into Game 2 of the World Series against the Astros Wednesday night. Eaton came up huge in Game 1, going 2-for-4 with an RBI, and creating a solid combo at the top of the lineup with Trea Turner. Eaton now is 6-for-21 (.285) […]

Juan Soto Ready For Encore

Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto enjoyed a dominant Game 1 of the World Series, going 3-for-4 with a double, a home run and three runs batted in. Soto was hitting lasers all over the field, pacing the Nationals to a 5-4 Game 1 win. After a dip in production during the NLCS against the Cardinals, […]

Adam Thielen Ruled Out For Week 8

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has been ruled out of his team's Thursday night game against Washington. Thielen injured his hamstring while making a diving touchdown catch during Week 7. There was some optimism that Thielen would be able to suit up on Thursday but the team instead will pay it safe with […]

Stephen Strasburg Takes Dominant Control Into Game 2

Washington Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg will try and continue his fantastic postseason Wednesday night in Game 2 of the World Series. Strasburg is 3-0 this season in the playoffs with a 1.64 ERA and as 0.86 WHIP over 22 innings pitched. Strasburg has struck out 33 hitters to only one walk and has been a […]

Justin Verlander Out To Salvage Home Field Advantage

Houston Astros starter Justin Verlander will take the bump in Game 2 of the World Series as the Astros try and tie the series at 1-1. It has been a solid, if unspectacular, postseason for the 36-year-old veteran after a dominant first start. Verlander pitched seven shutout innings on October 4 but has allowed 10 […]

David Johnson Not Ruled Out

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, but the team wants to see where he's at by the end of the week. The team signed running backs Zach Zenner and Alfred Morris for depth, but Johnson still has a chance to play. The breakout of running back Chase Edmonds doesn't give them […]

Anthony Mantha Nets Seventh Goal Of The Season

Detroit Red Wings right wing Anthony Mantha scored a power-play goal during Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. The potent power forward now has seven goals, four assists, and 41 shots on net through nine games this season. Mantha is proving that his breakout candidacy was legitimate, as he has been the most impressive […]

Jake Guentzel Tallies Two Assist During Tuesday's Loss

Pittsburgh Penguins left wing Jake Guentzel produced two even-strength assists during Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Florida Panthers. The 25-year-old has 10 points through his first 10 games of the season. Guentzel is attached to Sidney Crosby on the top line, which makes him fantasy relevant in all formats. He scored 40 goals for the […]

Jonathan Huberdeau Nets Two Points In Win Over Penguins

Florida Panthers left wing Jonathan Huberdeau scored his fourth goal of the season and added an assist during Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 26-year-old now has 10 points through his first nine games of the season. Huberdeau is a vital part of the Panthers' offense, and he commands top-tier fantasy value playing […]

Brad Marchand Scores In Tuesday's Victory

Boston Bruins forward Brad Marchand potted a goal and a power-play assist as his team grabbed a 4-2 victory over the visiting Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday. As per usual, Marchand made his presence known throughout his 19:44 of time on ice, filling up the scoresheet with a plus-one rating, two penalty minutes and four […]

Joaquin Niemann A High-Upside Option In Japan

Joaquin Niemann is set to tee it up in this week's Zozo Championship. The young Chilean scored his first career victory on the PGA Tour earlier this season at A Military Tribute At The Greenbrier. Niemann struggled in his two starts following the win, but rebounded nicely last week at the CJ Cup with a […]

Eagles Defense Not a Great Option in Week 8

The Philadelphia Eagles Defense is not a strong fantasy option for a Week 8 road matchup against the Buffalo Bills. While the 5-1 Bills have mostly been winning games thanks to their defense, they have an offensive unit with the potential to put up big numbers at times. The Eagles are coming off a rough […]

Jake Elliott Limited By the Eagles Offense

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has made every single kick so far this season, but his fantasy value has suffered due to an all-around struggling offense. Elliott has only attempted eight field goals and 17 extra points, and while he's made all of them, he currently ranks as just the 20th best kicker in standard […]

Dallas Goedert Unlikely to Do Much in Week 8

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is not a good bet to put up big numbers in Week 8. The Eagles travel to Buffalo to take on the Bills and their tough defense. Goedert led the team in receiving in Week 7 and scored a touchdown, but that's unlikely to happen again this week. Goedert […]
