12 hours agoChicago Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane registered his 1000th career point with an assist in Sunday's 5-2 victory over Winnipeg, becoming the 10th American to reach the milestone. Only three players have done it faster than Kane, who needed 953 games to get to the mark. He now has 62 points for the season, and he'll face the Panthers on Tuesday sitting on a 10-game point streak. Jonathan Toews, who also had one assist on Sunday, is on a nice run as well with points in six consecutive games. Dominik Kubalik, who scored his 21st goal of the season against Winnipeg, now has 14 points in nine games this month.

13 hours agoDenver Nuggets shooting guard
Will Barton came back down to Earth on Sunday, finishing a 115-107 loss to Indiana with 16 points on 7-for-17 shooting. He didn't make a single trey after dropping seven three-point bombs on his way to 31 points in Thursday's win over Golden State. Barton also had seven rebounds, five assists and one steal in the loss. His scoring has been inconsistent throughout the season, so his struggles weren't a surprise, and he actually still scored more than his season average of 15 points. Barton has a favorable matchup on Monday against the Timberwolves, who are allowing the seventh-most points to shooting guards this season.

Nikola Jokic scored a game-high 30 points in Sunday's 115-107 loss to Indiana, shooting 10-for-16 from the field and 8-for-12 at the line. He notched a double-double with 10 rebounds and added four assists and three steals. Jokic has collected four double-doubles in the past five games ahead of Monday's clash with the Timberwolves. Minnesota are allowing opposing centers to shoot close to 56 percent from the field this season, so it should be a good matchup for the Joker. He hasn't had problems performing on zero days rest either this season, and his last appearance against the Timberwolves ended with a triple-double.

13 hours agoIndiana Pacers small forward
Doug McDermott crushed the Denver Nuggets in the fourth quarter on Sunday, helping the team to a 115-107 victory. He led Indiana in scoring with 24 points and 18 of them came in the fourth, which the Pacers won 41-26. McDermott missed only one of his 10 shot attempts and he went 6-for-7 from three-point range. The 28-year-old forward is dropping three-point bombs with 45 percent efficiency this season, so teams have to be very careful against him. McDermott hasn't done much throughout the season, but he's currently on a run of scoring 10-plus points in four of the past five games, so he could be useful for some fantasy teams right now.

13 hours agoIndiana Pacers point guard
Malcolm Brogdon finished Sunday's win over the Nuggets with 22 points and eight assists, shooting 8-for-17 from the field and 2-for-4 from downtown. He also collected three rebounds in 36 minutes of action and committed two turnovers. The 27-year-old guard has been on a nice roll since returning from injury, averaging 19 points, 8.3 assists, and five rebounds, shooting 44.4 percent from deep. He's in a good spot to perform well again on Monday against Utah. The Jazz are a good defensive side, but they have struggled against point guard this season, giving up 23.8 points per 48 minutes. Brogdon had 22 points on 55.6 percent shooting against them in the first meeting of the season.

13 hours agoIndiana Pacers forward/center
Domantas Sabonis produced a very good performance against Denver on Sunday, finishing a 115-107 win with his first career triple-double. He had 22 points, 15 rebounds, and 10 assists, shooting 10-for-16 from the field. Sabonis was limited to an 8-5-4 line in his previous outing, so he bounced back in a big way. He's been close to a triple-double numerous times this season and it was only a matter of time before he finally got it. Sabonis will have a much difficult time stuffing the stat sheet on Monday, with Indiana continuing their road trip against Utah, who have a top-10 defense.

14 hours agoThe Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Boston Bruins on Sunday night by a score of 4-3. Sidney Crosby had two helpers in the game. Since returning from injury, he has eight points in four games. Overall on the season, Crosby has 25 points in 21 games. Defenseman Kris Letang did a little bit of everything. He had an assist, recorded two penalties, blocked four shots and threw a hit. He has 39 points in 41 games. Bryan Rust scored a goal and now has 11 points over the past 10 games. He has already set career-high totals in goals (21) and points (43) through just 35 games this season. Brandon Tanev threw five hits, blocked three shots and added an assist. David Pastrnak recorded two points in the losing effort. He has four points in the last two games and is up to 70 through 50 games.

14 hours agoPlaying in his first game of 2019-20, veteran winger Justin Williams clinched the shootout win for Carolina over the New York Islanders. The final score was 2-1. Williams will look to provide leadership down the stretch for the Hurricanes but he also has 786 points in 1,245 games. He scored 23 goals in 82 games last season. Andrei Svechnikov notched his 19th goal during regulation. It was his first goal in seven games. He now has 43 points in 49 games. Goalie James Reimer was excellent in net for the third straight game by stopping 26 of 27 shots. He’s now allowed just three goals over the last three contests spanning 105 shots. For New York, Anders Lee scored the lone goal, which was his 15th of the season. Thomas Greiss was solid in net for the Islanders and stopped 31 of 32 shots.

15 hours agoSan Antonio Spurs power forward/center
LaMarcus Aldridge led his team with 21 points on Sunday in the 107-102 win over the Heat. Aldridge did a bit of everything as he nailed eight of 15 from the floor en route to 21 points and added four rebounds with three assists while drilling two triples to go along with two blocks and a steal in 36 minutes of action. Aldridge continues to be one of the more steady players in fantasy and is having an excellent season with averages of 19.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.7 blocks, and 0.6 steals while connecting on a career-high 1.2 makes from three a night.

15 hours agoSan Antonio Spurs shooting guard/small forward
DeMar DeRozan just missed out on a triple-double on Sunday as he tallied 20 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in the close win over the Heat. DeRozan was excellent as he nailed seven of 16 from the floor while making all six of his attempts at the line and he also chipped in a steal while missing his only attempt from three. The Spurs are just a game and a half back of the eighth-place Grizzlies and with this, it seems the DeRozan trade rumors have cooled off. San Antonio plays again on Monday when they face the Suns, who the Spurs have just a half lead over in the Western Conference.

15 hours agoMiami Heat shooting guard/small forward
Jimmy Butler managed to nail just five of his 16 shot attempts en route to 16 points in the loss to San Antonio on Sunday. Butler did salvage his rough offensive game with six assists and five rebounds while adding two steals across 33 minutes of action. Butler is having a monster season where he is averaging career highs in rebounds and assists, but we have seen his makes from three dip all the way down to 0.7 a night from 1.7 just two seasons ago. If Butler can improve his accuracy from three, he would be knocking on the door of a top-10 player.
--Gianni Costantiello - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
15 hours agoMiami Heat power forward/center
Bam Adebayo continued his case to be named an All-Star this season as he provided a big double-double on Sunday, but it was not enough in the five-point loss to the Spurs. Adebayo scored 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting and added 16 rebounds while handing out six assists with two steals and was an excellent plus-12 in 36 minutes of action. Adebayo has been performing beyond expectations this season and is most likely on many teams that are near or at the top of the many league's standings this season.
--Gianni Costantiello - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
16 hours agoMiami Heat guard
Goran Dragic recorded an efficient 19 points on 7-for-13 shooting on Sunday in the 107-102 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Dragic added some decent extras with five boards, two assists, and two triples while committing three turnovers in 24 minutes off the bench. Dragic has been a bit streaky as of late and in the month of January is averaging 14.9 points, 4.7 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 2.6 makes from three in 10 games. He is a borderline hold as he is not providing much else beyond points, assists, and threes.

21 hours agoThe Green Bay
Packers Defense recorded one sack and allowed 37 points in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers steamrolled past Green Bay's unit for 285 rushing yards and four rushing scores. To make matters worse, they couldn't generate much pressure or any turnovers. Despite the disappointing end, the Packers defense was much improved from last year, ranking 15th in sacks with 41 as well as third in interceptions with 17. They may not be among the top defenses drafted in 2020, though they should be on every fantasy managers' radar.

22 hours agoGreen Bay Packers tight end
Jimmy Graham caught four of five targets for 59 yards in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Graham was a big disappointment this season in a year filled with disappointing tight ends. The 33-year-old put up the lowest numbers since his rookie season and never really put together a good stretch of play until very recently. Graham has one year left on his contract worth about 7.5 million dollars. Given how much of a bust he was, perhaps Green Bay cuts ties with him and goes younger at the position in 2020.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
22 hours agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Geronimo Allison caught two of three targets for eight yards in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. There were big expectations for Allison heading into 2019 in both the real and fantasy football worlds. Unfortunately for him, he lived up to neither, failing to eclipse 50 receiving yards in all but one game all year. Green Bay, who is in desperate need of another receiver behind
Davante Adams, will have a decision to make about the 25-year-old, who is an unrestricted free agent. It's hard to see Allison being back in Green Bay in 2020.
--Tim Capurso - RotoBallerSource: ESPN
22 hours agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Allen Lazard caught three of four targets for 36 yards in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Lazard may not have made much noise in the two playoff games but flashed some potential in the regular season, including his first career 100-yard game. Rodgers started to develop a little chemistry with the 6-foot-4 wideout late in the season, as he looked his way 17 times in the last two contests. It would be surprising if Lazard were the number-two receiver for the Packers next year, though it still makes sense for them to bring him back in some capacity. Lazard has some sleeper potential if he's catching passes from Rodgers in 2020.

22 hours agoGreen Bay Packers wide receiver
Davante Adams caught nine of 10 targets for 138 yards in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Adams operated as Rodgers' safety blanket yet again, capturing 79 more receiving yards than the Packers' next leading receiver. When healthy, this is what the 26-year-old did all year, as he compiled double-digit targets in all but four games, including the playoffs. Despite missing five games, Adams still almost put up a 1000-year season. It would behoove Green Bay to put together a stronger receiver group behind the star receiver. Even if they don't, a healthy Adams should be back in the discussion as an elite fantasy wideout in 2020.

23 hours agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Jamaal Williams picked up just six rushing yards on three carries and caught two passes for one receiving yard in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Williams had a disappointing end to his season, as he failed to register at least 40 rushing yards in his last three games after eclipsing the mark in his previous three. The 24-year-old did show flashes at times of being the perfect complement to
Aaron Jones. Still, it will be interesting to see if Green Bay hands the reins to Jones next year or continues to spell him with Williams. For now, consider Williams more of a handcuff option than a complement heading into 2020.

23 hours agoGreen Bay Packers running back
Aaron Jones carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards and a rushing touchdown along with five catches for 27 yards and a receiving score in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Jones was running well and would have been able to do more damage on the ground if not for the 27-0 deficit at the half. The 24-year-old finished the year tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with 19, then added four more scores in the playoffs. He (likely) won't score this many times next year, though Jones proved he's more than just a touchdown machine, racking up career-highs in both rushing and receiving yards. He'll be among the best options in 2020 for fantasy backs in all formats.

23 hours agoGreen Bay Packers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of 39 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. At first glance, Rodgers' stat line doesn't look so bad, though the first half was a complete struggle for him and the offense. Down 27-0 at the half, the veteran signal-caller effectively used up garbage time to post these numbers. It's a disappointing end to the season for Rodgers, though he still put up his eighth career 4000-yard season as well as his 10th season with at least 25 touchdown passes. The 36-year-old has plenty of juice left in his arm but will probably need another threat on the outside next year besides
Davante Adams if Green Bay wants to make noise.

Mecole Hardman was unable to make much of an impact during the AFC Championship game on Sunday. Hardman finished with one reception for eight yards. His reception was technically a jet sweep play that was a handoff on the second drive of the game. However, he drew a big defensive pass interference call that helped the Chiefs get into scoring position. Hardman is a fantastic special teams player, but won't bring much value to DFS contests for Super Bowl 54.

Demarcus Robinson was not targeted often, but made it count when he was called upon. Robinson hauled in both of his targets for 31 yards during their victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. His first reception was a 24-yard catch that helped the Chiefs move upfield for their second quarter comeback. However, Robinson is normally an afterthought with
Tyreek Hill,
Sammy Watkins, and
Travis Kelce on the roster. He could have some cheap DFS value for Super Bowl 54.

Travis Kelce was surprisingly held in check by the Tennessee Titans during Sunday's AFC Championship contest. He caught three of his four targets for 30 yards in the win over the Titans.

Tyreek Hill was able to find the end zone twice during Sunday's AFC Championship game. Hill caught five of his seven targets for 67 yards and two touchdowns in the victory over the Tennessee Titans. His first score was a 10-yard jet sweep handoff that counted as a reception, but regardless it was a nice way for Hill to show off his ridiculous speed. The performance of Hill in Super Bowl 54 could help make or break plenty of DFS players.

Sammy Watkins was able to finally find the end zone for the first time since Week 1. It's been a tough season for Watkins, but at least he was able to do damage when it mattered most. Watkins hauled in seven receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown in the victory over the Tennessee Titans. Watkins caught a 60-yard touchdown that basically sealed the Chiefs ticket to Super Bowl 54. It's been impossible to trust Watkins this season, but maybe he's finally turning the corner.

He also caught five passes for 44 yards through the air. Veteran back

Tevin Coleman (shoulder) was forced from the Conference Championship game with an injury in the second quarter, and is questionable to return. After being tackled on the play, it initially looked like Coleman sustained an elbow or arm injury, but it is now being called a shoulder injury.
