Cam Newton An Intriguing Option Versus Texans
New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton found the end zone twice during the Week 10 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Newton is not the same player that he used to be, but still can be a useful fantasy option when he's efficient. He'll be an intriguing option against the Houston Texans in Week 11. A […]

Chris Herndon Continues To Be A Non-Factor
New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon has seen his production drop rapidly this season. He went from seven targets in the season opener to zero targets in Week 9. It appears the Jets have given up on the Herndon experiment and are going with Ryan Griffin. It's tough to blame them considering Herndon has […]

Braxton Berrios Avoidable Versus Chargers
New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios is having a rollercoaster season in terms of fantasy production. He saw 11 targets in Week 8 then just one target the following week in the loss to the New England Patriots. The Jets are fairly healthy at wide receiver, so it's unlikely that Berrios has much of […]

Denzel Mims Has Low-End PPR Appeal
New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims has seen seven or more targets in two of his first three games in the NFL. He appears to be an important part of their offense, but that doesn't mean a whole lot on the Jets. Mims has plenty of potential, but Joe Flacco is under center versus […]

Breshad Perriman A Risky Choice In Week 11
New York Jets wide receiver Breshad Perriman (shoulder) was limited during practice this week, but is expected to suit up against the Los Angeles Chargers. He posted his best game of the season during his last contest. He hauled in seven receptions for 101 yards and two touchdowns in the loss to the New England […]

Jamison Crowder A Solid WR2 Option
New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder is hopeful for a bounce back performance after he posted a dud in Week 9. To be fair, Crowder was only targeted twice, but that should increase versus the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. A secondary that is considered bottom-10 in the league right now. Veteran Joe […]

La'Mical Perine Finally Gets Starting Job
New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine is reportedly going to be the lead back for the rest of the season. Finally, head coach Adam Gase has decided to give up on the Frank Gore experiment heading into Week 11. The fourth-round rookie hasn't done much damage this season, but was limited because he was […]

Frank Gore Continues Producing Minimal Value
New York Jets running back Frank Gore continues to get 10 or more carries per game for some reason. Head coach Adam Gase refuses to hand over the starting role to La'Mical Perine despite their winless season. It's not often that Gore surpasses the 50-yard mark on the ground most weeks. He'll get a somewhat […]

Joe Flacco Starting Versus Chargers
New York Jets quarterback Joe Flacco will get another chance under center during the Week 11 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran quarterback surprisingly played well in his last start against the New England Patriots. The Chargers do struggle against the passing attack. They've allowed the fourth most points to fantasy quarterbacks this […]

Bobby Portis Has Team Option Declined
New York Knicks forward Bobby Portis will be heading to free agency after his team option was declined. He was set to make $15.7 million next season, so it doesn't come as a surprise that the Knicks decided to decline it. They also waived Elfrid Payton and Taj Gibson to open up more money for […]

Knicks Waive Elfrid Payton, Taj Gibson
New York Knicks guard Elfrid Payton and forward Taj Gibson have been waived by the organization. This doesn't come as surprising news since both players were expected to have significant salaries next season. Payton was the best point guard for the Knicks last season, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. Gibson is basically a […]

Chris Boucher Gets Qualifying Offer From Raptors
Toronto Raptors forward Chris Boucher has been extended a qualifying offer by the organization. That means that Boucher is a restricted free agent, so the team can match any offer he receives. Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka are unrestricted free agents and are allowed to sign anywhere they want. Boucher could find himself with significant […]

JaVale McGee Picks Up Player Option
Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee has decided to accept his $4.2 million player option for next season. He started 68 games during the regular season, but was kept on the bench for most of the postseason. McGee is expected to have a similar role on the Lakers this season, but that depends on who […]

Ersan Ilyasova Waived By Bucks
Milwaukee Bucks forward Ersan IIyasova has been waived by the organization. He was traded to the Sacramento Kings earlier this week, but that deal didn't go as planned. Bogan Bogdanovic decided to opt into free agency, so IIyasova returned to Milwaukee. The Bucks have cut the veteran forward instead of attempting to unload his $7 […]

Austin Rivers Opts Out Of Deal
Houston Rockets guard Austin Rivers has decided to opt out of his contract for next season. He'll become an unrestricted free agent, which might not be a great idea on his part. Rivers wasn't impressive during his 68 games in Houston last season, so there probably won't be a big market for him. Possibly, Rivers […]

Tim Hardaway Jr. Sticking With Mavs
Dallas Mavericks forward Tim Hardaway Jr. has decided to accept his $19 million player option for next season. This was a pretty easy decision for him since he wasn't going to land that kind of deal on the open market. He put together a surprisingly strong season with the Mavericks last season. Although, he'll have […]

Gordon Hayward Becomes Unrestricted Free Agent
Boston Celtics forward Gordon Hayward has decided to opt out of his $34 million player option for next season. The 30-year-old forward is walking away from quite a lot of money, but he should get a solid offer in free agency. The Atlanta Hawks, New York Knicks, and Indiana Pacers have already reportedly shown interest […]

Avery Bradley Expected To Test Free Agency
Los Angeles Lakers guard Avery Bradley has reportedly declined his $5 million player option for next season. It's unclear why he did this, but he probably won't get a higher offer elsewhere. Possibly, Bradley is looking for a longer deal or more playing time on a different organization. He can be a solid role player […]

JaMychal Green Declines Player Option
Los Angeles Clippers forward JaMychal Green has declined his $5 million player option for next season. This seems like an odd move by Green who probably won't get much more money in free agency. Possibly, he made this decision, so he could find a place where he'll get more playing time. Green should be able […]

Thon Maker Doesn't Receive Qualifying Offer
Detroit Pistons center Thon Maker was not extended a qualifying offer by the organization. The former 10th overall selection during the 2016 NBA Draft has been unable to live up to expectations. He wasn't able to make much of an impact during his 60 games in Detroit last season. The Pistons have decided to move […]

Juan Hernangomez Gets Qualifying Offer
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Juan Hernangomez was extended the qualifying offer by the organization. He played well during his short time with the Wolves last season. Sadly, it was only a 14 game sample size and the team was without Karl-Anthony Towns during most of those contests. The Wolves will be able to match any offer […]

Suns Decline Team Option On Cheick Diallo
Phoenix Suns center Cheick Diallo had his team option for the 2020-2021 season declined by the organization. The 24-year-old center played in 47 games with Phoenix last season. He was mainly used as emergency depth, so declining his option is probably for the best. Diallo will hopefully find himself a better situation elsewhere, but he […]

Willie Cauley-Stein Not Returning With Mavs
Dallas Mavericks center Willie Cauley-Stein has decided to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. He only made 13 appearances in Dallas last season and was buried on the depth chart. The 27-year-old still has plenty of potential, but needs to find the right place for himself. He might have late-round draft appeal […]

Anthony Davis Declines Player Option
Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis has declined his $28.7 million player option for next season. Lakers fans shouldn't be worried since this was expected all along. Davis is fully expected to be back in a Lakers uniform next season. The full details about his deal have not been worked out, but it'd be shocking […]

Nicolas Batum Returning To Charlotte
Charlotte Hornets forward Nicolas Batum unsurprisingly accepted his $27.1 million player option for next season. This comes as no surprise to anyone after Batum's fantasy value died in Charlotte. He was barely part of the rotation last year and it's unlikely anything changes this season. Batum will serve as a benchwarmer and veteran mentor for […]

Evan Fournier Sticking In Orlando
Orlando Magic guard Evan Fournier will pick up his $17 million player option for next season. It's unlikely Fournier would get more money on the open market, so probably a smart idea by him. This could turn out to be a great decision for Fournier, assuming he stays healthy. The Magic don't have many options […]

Wesley Matthews Declining Player Option
Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews has reportedly decided to decline his $2.7 million player option for next season. The veteran guard started in all 67 games that he appeared in last season. Matthews could be looking for a bigger role elsewhere with the Bucks bringing in more talent this offseason. There should be plenty of […]

Rajon Rondo Expected To Leave Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers guard Rajon Rondo is expected to decline his $2.6 million player option for next season. The organization has agreed to a trade that lands them guard Dennis Schroder from the Oklahoma City Thunder. Rondo wouldn't have much of a role with the Lakers while Schroder is there. Plenty of organizations should have […]

Otto Porter Accepts Player Option
Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter has accepted his $28.4 million player option for next season, which should come as a surprise to no one. There was absolutely no chance Porter would get anything near that amount of money in free agency. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Bulls attempt to trade Porter, but they […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Declines Player Option
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has decided to decline his $8.5 million player option. This doesn't come as shocking news after the Lakers acquired guard Dennis Schroder. Caldwell-Pope obviously wants a bigger role on a team and should have plenty of suitors. He's a decent defender and usually a reliable shooter from beyond the […]
