22 hours agoMiami Heat point guard
Goran Dragic will be sidelined for Saturday’s contest versus the New Orleans Pelicans due to an illness, marking his first absence of the year. With
Justise Winslow also inactive,
Kendrick Nunn should see an immense workload in the backcourt, making him a highly sought after DFS commodity against the up-tempo Pelicans. Dragic has quickly acclimated to his role off the bench, having averaged 16.1 points and 5.1 assists per contest over his first 11 games. His next chance to return comes Wednesday against Cleveland.

22 hours agoCharlotte Hornets shooting guard/small forward
Nicolas Batum has not played since his team’s opening night back on Oct. 23, but he has been given the thumbs up to participate in Saturday’s game versus the Detroit Pistons. Batum, who has been sidelined due to a broken left middle finger, came off the bench in the season opener and figures to retain a similar role upon his return. The 30-year-old has traditionally been a solid contributor across multiple categories but has seen his fantasy relevance diminish alongside his playing time over the calendar year.

22 hours agoIndiana Pacers point guard
T.J. McConnell will be absent from Saturday’s contest against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a sore right groin. The timing of his injury is rough for both he and the Pacers, who will be without point guard
Malcolm Brogdon (back) versus Milwaukee as well. McConnell’s absence paves the way for
Aaron Holiday to enter the starting five and have immense DFS value with the team short-handed. McConnell has begun to find his offensive rhythm during his first season with Indiana, having scored in double figures in three of his last four games. His next chance to return to action comes Monday against Brooklyn.
--Jesse Borek - RotoBallerSource: Indiana Pacers
22 hours agoIndiana Pacers center
Myles Turner has made a drastic pivot in his health and has been given the green light to suit up Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Turner had previously been tagged as doubtful to play, which may mean that his workload may not immediately return to previous levels even with his place in the starting lineup reclaimed. A sprained right ankle kept the league’s leading shot blocker from 2018-19 on the sidelines over the past eight games. His return caps the fantasy value of
Goga Bitadze, while
Domantas Sabonis may see partially fewer rebounding opportunities.
--Jesse Borek - RotoBallerSource: Indiana Pacers
22 hours agoMinnesota Timberwolves shooting guard/small forward
Andrew Wiggins has been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Houston Rockets due to personal reasons. Wiggins’ absence marks his second straight night on the bench, paving the way for
Jarrett Culver and
Josh Okogie to see additional minutes and thus have their DFS values increased. Wiggins has gone for at least 25 points in each of the last six contests that he has been available for, breaking out to the tune of 25.9 points per game to open the year. His next chance to return to action comes Monday against Utah.
--Jesse Borek - RotoBallerSource: Minnesota Timberwolves
23 hours agoCharlotte Hornets forward
Dwayne Bacon (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks. However, Bacon was listed as probable for Friday and didn't end up playing. He's been awful at shooting this season, so most fantasy owners should stay away regardless. He could be worth a look in deep leagues if he actually plays on Saturday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Charlotte Hornets PR
23 hours agoMiami Heat guard/forward
Jimmy Butler (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Goran Dragic (illness) is questionable as well, so maybe they both have the same thing.
Duncan Robinson,
Kendrick Nunn, and
Tyler Herro would see big minutes if Butler or Dragic don't suit up on Saturday. They'd be worth considering as streaming options without Butler or Dragic playing.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Anthony Chiang
23 hours agoMiami Heat guard
Goran Dragic (illness) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. However, Dragic was listed as questionable for Thursday and ended up playing. It doesn't sound like this illness is going to hold him back from playing on Saturday. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off just to make sure.
Duncan Robinson and
Tyler Herro would play big minutes without Dragic available.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Anthony Chiang
23 hours agoOrlando Magic forward
Jonathan Isaac (ankle) was able to fully participate during practice on Saturday, according to head coach Steve Clifford. He did not play on Friday and an MRI revealed a sprained ankle.
Al-Farouq Aminu would start again if Isaac is unable to suit up for Sunday's game against the Spurs. Fantasy owners should check back on Sunday for more information.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Josh Robbins
23 hours agoIndiana Pacers guard
Malcolm Brogdon (back) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Brogdon played just nine minutes in Friday's contest due to a sore back. The Pacers are expected to play it safe here and let Brogdon rest.
T.J. McConnell (groin) is listed as questionable, so
Aaron Holiday and
Justin Holiday should be looking at heavy minutes here.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Indiana Pacers
23 hours agoIndiana Pacers center
Myles Turner (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's looking like Turner is headed towards missing his ninth straight game here. The Pacers are really banged up, so expect
Domantas Sabonis to do just about everything on the offensive side.
Goga Bitadze will see more minutes and is worth a look in deep leagues.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Indiana Pacers
23 hours agoIndiana Pacers guard
T.J. McConnell (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. He played well on Friday, but tweaked his groin during the game.
Malcolm Brogdon (back) and
Jeremy Lamb (ankle) are doubtful to suit up here.
Justin Holiday and
Aaron Holiday could see heavy minutes in this one. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pacers PR
23 hours agoBrooklyn Nets guard
Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He wasn't on the injury report before, but this is likely more of a rest thing than it is about his shoulder.
Spencer Dinwiddie should start and see as many minutes as he can handle. He'll be a popular DFS option for Saturday. Fantasy owners don't have to worry, Irving should be back in action next game.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Adrian Wojnarowski
23 hours agoHouston Rockets center
Clint Capela (head) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He suffered a concussion on Wednesday and still needs to clear the NBA concussion protocol.
Tyson Chandler and
Isaiah Hartenstein should split up the minutes at center.
P.J. Tucker should benefit the most from the loss of Capela. Tucker will be worth a look as a cheap DFS option for Saturday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Alykhan Bijani
24 hours agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard
Lonzo Ball (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. This marks the fourth game in a row that Ball has missed due to a groin issue.
J.J. Redick (toe),
Josh Hart (ankle) are sidelined as well for Saturday.
E'Twaun Moore,
Frank Jackson and
Nickeil Alexander-Walker will see heavy minutes coming their way.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pelicans PR
24 hours agoNew Orleans Pelicans center
Jahlil Okafor (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He missed Thursday's game due to a left ankle issue. The team is going to be cautious and rest him again here.
Derrick Favors should log in heavy minutes and be a popular DFS option.
Jaxson Hayes will see extended run off the bench and could be a deep league streaming option.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pelicans PR
24 hours agoNew Orleans Pelicans guard
J.J. Redick (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He suffered a left toe sprain on Thursday and will sit this one out because of it.
E'Twaun Moore,
Frank Jackson and
Nickeil Alexander-Walker will all be asked to play heavy minutes. Fantasy owners in deep leagues should take a look at them as streaming options.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pelicans PR
24 hours agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Brandon Ingram (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Miami Heat. He's missed each of the last two games and has been downgraded to questionable here.
J.J. Redick (toe),
Josh Hart (knee, ankle) and
Lonzo Ball (groin) have all been ruled out.
Jrue Holiday will be asked to put the team on his back if Ingram is unable to play. Holiday would make a great DFS option if he's asked to carry the team on Saturday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Pelicans PR
24 hours agoMinnesota Timberwolves guard/forward
Andrew Wiggins (personal) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. Wiggins did not play on Friday due to a death in the family. It's unclear whether or not Wiggins will be back in time to play here. Fantasy owners should check back closer to tip-off. It will be the same game plan as Friday if Wiggins is unable to play.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Timberwolves PR
24 hours agoHouston Rockets forward
Danuel House (back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He was listed as out, but the team has officially ruled him out for this one.
Austin Rivers should start in his place and will make an interesting option for DFS contests.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Danny Cunningham
24 hours agoGolden State Warriors guard
D'Angelo Russell (thumb) is expected to miss at least two weeks of action. Russell suffered a sprained thumb during Friday's game, but the X-rays came back clean. He'll be re-evaluated in two weeks, but this is a big blow to the already banged up Warriors.
Ky Bowman,
Alec Burks, and
Jordan Poole will benefit in the absence of Russell. All of those players are worth looking at in deep leagues.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Warriors PR
1 day agoDenver Nuggets forward
Will Barton (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He's been off to a great start this season, but the Nuggets may elect to give him a rest day here.
Michael Porter Jr.,
Malik Beasley and
Monte Morris would all benefit in the absence of Barton. Fantasy owners should check back on Sunday.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: T.J. McBride
1 day agoThe New Orleans
Saints Defense was a bit of a disappointment last week. They only registered one sack and one interception and gave up 26 points. Week 11 brings a strong bounce-back chance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Quarterback
Jameis Winston has a league-high 24 turnovers. The Bucs offensive line ranks 29th in sacks allowed. Get the Saints defense in lineups for Week 11-they're bound to put up good numbers.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
1 day agoNew Orleans Saints kicker
Wil Lutz is set up for a good day against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Lutz was the muscle of the Saints' offense last week, as he made all three field-goal attempts and was responsible for all their points scored. The 25-year-old has made 19 of 23 field-goal attempts and 19 of 20 extra-point attempts. Lutz will take on the Bucs, who have allowed 25 extra-points and 20 made field-goals in nine games this year. He's a great kicking option for fantasy this week.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
1 day agoNew Orleans Saints tight end
Jared Cook gets an excellent matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. He's coming off a great game, in which he caught a season-high six of 10 targets for 74 yards. It was the first time the 32-year-old has eclipsed 50 receiving yards this season. He'll have a chance to build on this effort against a Bucs defense that has given up the second-most fantasy points to tight ends. Cook is a bit risky, but the matchup is too juicy to pass up. Get him in lineups as a low-end TE1.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
1 day agoNew Orleans Saints wide receivers
Ted Ginn and
Tre'Quan Smith will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. Ginn is coming off a catch-less game and hasn't gone over 50 receiving yards since Week 1. Meanwhile, Smith missed five games with an injury and has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards in three games played. Both will get a good matchup against the Bucs, who allow 48.04 fantasy points to opposing wideouts, the most in the NFL. Still, Smith and Ginn are firmly behind
Michael Thomas,
Alvin Kamara and
Jared Cook in the pecking order, so expectations must be lowered. Both are risky flex plays in Week 11.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
1 day agoThe Chicago Bears placed tight end
Trey Burton (calf) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and promoted linebacker James Vaughters from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Burton will miss the rest of the season, so he can be safely dropped anywhere he was still owned. The 28-year-old was a non-factor in both real life and fantasy this year, catching just 14 passes (24 targets) for 84 yards and no scores in eight games.
Ben Braunecker will serve as the starting tight end on Sunday night against the Rams with
Adam Shaheen out, but Braunecker should be avoided in this low-upside offense. Shaheen should be the primary pass-catching tight end when he's healthy, but he's off the radar until further notice.
--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN.com - Field Yates
1 day agoNew Orleans Saints wide receiver
Michael Thomas has been excellent this year. The All-Pro receiver leads the NFL in catches and receiving yards with 86 and 1027, respectively. He'll face a Buccaneers team that allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers in the league. In his first game against Tampa Bay in Week 5, without
Drew Brees, Thomas caught 11 of 13 passes for 182 yards and two touchdowns. Not only will Thomas have Brees throwing to him, he'll face off with a Bucs secondary that will be without two starters from that game. Thomas is a must-start WR1.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
1 day agoNew Orleans Saints running back
Latavius Murray gets a tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11. The 28-year-old has tallied 371 rushing yards on 85 attempts and 160 receiving yards on 25 receptions with five total touchdowns. In starter
Alvin Kamara's return to the lineup, he out-touched Murray 12-seven, though game script probably limited both of their touches. Game script may not matter this week, as the Buccaneers are the number-one rushing defense in the NFL. With Kamara seeing the majority of the receiving work, Murray might have trouble making his touches count against Tampa Bay. He's a low-end flex at best in Week 11.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com
1 day agoNew England Patriots tight end
Matt LaCosse (knee) is making the trip to Philadelphia and has a chance to play in Week 11 against the Eagles after getting injured on Oct. 10. The Patriots have ruled out running back
Damien Harris (hamstring) and safety Patrick Chung (chest, heel). On the season, LaCosse has only three receptions for 55 yards, so he shouldn't be owned in any fantasy leagues.
Benjamin Watson has become the team's pass-catching tight end, but even he doesn't move the needle very much as a streaming TE2.
