David Njoku Removed From Week 9 Injury Report

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. This is great to see after Njoku sat out practice to begin the week. Now, it appears Njoku will play in Week 9, barring any setbacks. He has posted back-to-back 50-plus receiving yard performances. However, those were with P.J. Walker […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Available On Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (hip) will be available for the upcoming matchup against the Chicago Bulls on Friday. Smith was able to get through Friday's morning shootaround without any issues. That being said, it sounds like Smith will be able to play despite dealing with a left hip contusion. His return would mean […]

Spencer Dinwiddie Expects To Play Friday

Brooklyn Nets guard Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) is listed as questionable on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. However, Dinwiddie said after Friday morning shootaround that he will suit up for this game. It sounds like Dinwiddie is feeling better after suffering a left ankle sprain on Wednesday. His return would […]

Jamal Murray Listed As Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (quad) is currently listed as probable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. He's joined by Nikola Jokic (back) and Christian Braun (shin) on the injury report. However, all three of them are considered probable, so they should all play. Murray is dealing with a right quad contusion, so he […]

Nikola Jokic Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (back) is considered probable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man is dealing with lower back pain, but should be able to suit up for this game. This is the first game of a back-to-back set, which means Jokic could play Friday and sit out on Saturday. […]

Devin Vassell Likely To Miss Time

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (groin) is likely to be sidelined for a couple of games. The young forward was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Phoenix Suns. It sounds like Vassell warmed up to return to the contest, but decided against returning. The team will have Vassell undergo an MRI […]

Wendell Carter Jr. To Miss Significant Time

Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Jr. (hand) is out indefinitely after suffering an injury during Thursday's win over the Utah Jazz. The big man suffered a fractured third metacarpal on his left hand during the fourth quarter of this game. The Magic will put together a treatment plan for Carter soon, but fantasy managers should […]

Younghoe Koo A Viable Option For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was quiet to start the season, but has seen an increased workload lately. The veteran kicker has made three field goals in back-to-back games. He should continue to be involved during the Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons offense should get plenty of chances to do something […]

Kyle Pitts Might Have Low-End TE1 Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has been quiet over the last few weeks. The young tight end has a ton of potential, but continues to be an afterthought in this offense. The yardage has been the biggest problem for Pitts. He has only surpassed 50 receiving yards once through the first eight games this […]

Tyler Allgeier A Risky Flex Choice

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier was held to single digit carries for the third time this season last week. His usage has been all over the place this season, which is frustrating for fantasy managers. The Falcons continue to split up the workload between Allgeier and rookie back Bijan Robinson. However, Robinson is more […]

Bijan Robinson A Low-End RB1 For Week 9

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson scored his first rushing touchdown of the season last week. The rookie back rushed for 62 yards on 11 carries in what ended up being a loss to the Tennessee Titans. It could've been a bigger game for Robinson, but he failed to haul in any of his five […]

Daniel Bellinger Should See Expanded Role

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger figures to get the starting nod at tight end for the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fellow tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to injury. That means, Bellinger should see an expanded role in the offense. Bellinger was a […]

Treylon Burks Avoids Hospital Stint

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (head/neck) was carted off the field during Thursday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He suffered an apparent head injury while attempting to make a catch in the fourth quarter. Burks was loaded into an ambulance after lying motionless on the field. Head coach Mike Vrabal said Burks was feeling […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Upset With Role

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has expressed frustration over his current role in the offense. The 30-year-old wideout was held without a catch last week, which is only the second time that has happened during his career. He was targeted four times during the Ravens' victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Right now, Beckham […]

David Njoku Practices On Thursday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) was able to participate during Thursday's practice. This is good news after Njoku missed Wednesday's session due to an ankle issue. He was a limited participant on Thursday, but the fact he practiced at all is a good sign. It seems like the ankle issue is minor, so […]

Amari Cooper Gets In Limited Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed as Cooper will almost certainly suit up for this game. This appears to be the Browns just being cautious with Cooper and limiting his reps. He hauled in six receptions for 89 yards during last […]

Daniel Carlson Remains Limited In Practice

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson (groin) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. The 28-year-old entered last week with a groin injury, but played through the issue. It's possible that he does it again, but groin issues have a tendency to be tricky. Right now, it seems like the Raiders are being cautious with […]

Tyler Lockett Limited On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This is positive considering Lockett has missed four of the last five practice sessions. Lockett looks to be trending in the right direction ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. He could be looking at an increased workload […]

Cole Holcomb Won't Return On Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Cole Holcomb (knee) was carted off the field during the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Tennessee Titans. He appeared to collide with a teammate while attempting to make a tackle over the middle of the field. It looked like a gruesome injury, so it wouldn't be surprising if Holcomb missed […]

DK Metcalf Sits Out Of Thursday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (hip) did not participate during Thursday's practice session. The big wideout misses Thursday's session after being a full participant on Wednesday. This looks to be a routine rest day for Metcalf who was forced to sit out in Week 7 due to a hip issue. At first glance, this […]

Shaedon Sharpe Probable For Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe (thumb) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Sharpe looked good on Wednesday, but apparently suffered a sprained right thumb in the process. It doesn't sound like something that is going to sideline Sharpe. He'll likely have a bigger role in the rotation with Scoot […]

Devin Booker To Play On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (foot) will suit up for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard will make his first appearance since the season opener. This is a welcoming sight with Bradley Beal (back) still sidelined. Eric Gordon and Grayson Allen should see somewhat decreased roles with Booker back in the […]

Scoot Henderson Won't Play On Friday

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The rookie guard suffered a right ankle sprain during Wednesday's win over the Detroit Pistons. He'll be forced to miss at least one game because of the injury. The expectation is that Malcolm Brogdon will enter […]

Walker Kessler Active On Thursday

Utah Jazz center Walker Kessler (elbow) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the Orlando Magic. The big man was listed as probable coming into this contest due to left elbow soreness. However, it appears to be a minor issue as Kessler will suit up for this game. He should resume his role as the […]

Markelle Fultz A Late Scratch On Thursday

Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is a late scratch from the starting lineup ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. This is a bit surprising as Fultz wasn't on the injury report coming into this game. However, the Magic have decided to pull Fultz from the game due to knee swelling. At the […]

Zach LaVine Expected To Suit Up On Friday

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The star guard has been listed on the injury report ahead of the last two games. LaVine was able to start and finish those games without any issues. He should be fine to play on Friday, assuming he […]

Jalen Duren Available On Thursday

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. The big man has been cleared to play after sitting out on Wednesday due to a sprained left ankle. The expectation is that he'll have his normal workload during this game. Marvin Bagley III should take a hit in […]

Cade Otton Has Low-End Streaming Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton has seen an increase in usage over the last two weeks. The former fourth-round pick has seen six targets in each of the last two games. It has resulted in nine receptions for 70 yards with zero touchdowns. There could be some PPR value here, but Otton remains […]

Chris Godwin A Low-End WR2 For Week 9

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has seen an increase in usage over the last four games. In fact, Godwin has seven or more targets in each of the last four contests. Sadly, the yardage hasn't been there and Godwin has only found the end zone once this season. The good news is, the […]

Mike Evans Remains On WR1 Radar

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans has scored a touchdown in five of his seven games this season. The veteran wideout has been a reliable deep threat option for the Bucs' offense so far. Evans has scored in back-to-back games, but finished with a season-low 39 yards last week. He should bounce back against […]
