However, Oubre was spotted shooting after practice, but hasn't been cleared for full contact […]

Hassan Whiteside Returns to Practice on Monday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) was able to return to practice on Monday. Whiteside returned to practice after sitting out most of last week, but it's unclear if he'll play in the preseason game on Tuesday. Zach Collins (finger) is expected to play despite his minor injury. Skal Labissiere may see more minutes […]

Zach Collins is Able to Practice on Monday

Portland Trail Blazers forward Zach Collins (finger) was a full participant for Monday's practice. Head coach Terry Stotts said that Collins will be available for Tuesday's preseason contest. The finger issue isn't anything serious and the Blazers will be cautious if Collins begins to have problems. He's someone worth looking at in the middle of […]

Jonas Valanciunas Held Out of Monday's Practice

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) was held out of Monday's practice, but fantasy owners shouldn't be too alarmed. Valanciunas played a ton of minutes for the Lithuanian National Team at the FIBA tournament during the summer. The team doesn't believe the foot issue is serious, but the Grizzlies want to be cautious in the […]

Kyle Anderson Practices on Monday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Kyle Anderson (thigh) was a full participant during Monday's practice. However, Anderson remains questionable for Tuesday's preseason contest versus New Zealand. He missed the first preseason game, but Anderson has gone through multiple full-contact practices now. He's someone worth looking at late in most drafts.

Otto Porter Won't Play After Halftime on Monday

Chicago Bulls forward Otto Porter will get the start in Monday's preseason contest versus the Milwaukee Bucks. The Bulls don't want to push Porter too much after he was sidelined late last season due to injuries. He'll play in the first half of this game, but will sit out after halftime. It doesn't appear Porter […]

Darius Garland Will Make Preseason Debut Monday

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Darius Garland (foot) will make his preseason debut on Monday against San Lorenzo of Argentina.

Justin Anderson Joins the Starting Lineup on Monday

Washington Wizards forward Justin Anderson will get a chance with the starting lineup in Monday's preseason game versus the New York Knicks.

Anderson […]

Bobby Portis Sits Out of Preseason Contest

New York Knicks center Bobby Portis (rib) will not suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Washington Wizards. Portis is dealing with a bruised rib, but it doesn't sound like something that will limit him in the regular season. The Knicks are a bit crowded in terms of depth, but Portis should have fantasy […]

Derrick Favors Will Play Despite Hamstring Issue

New Orleans Pelicans forward Derrick Favors (hamstring) will play in Monday's preseason game versus the Atlanta Hawks. Favors missed a few practices and was listed as questionable heading into this one. The Pelicans may decide to limit him, but he should be good to go for Monday. Fantasy owners shouldn't have anything to worry about, […]

Harrison Butker Notches Two Field Goals in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker surprisingly produced most of their points in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Butker knocked down both his field goals and the single extra point in the 19-13 loss. The Chiefs usually have a high powered offense, so Butker produces more fantasy points. Butker did his job […]

Byron Pringle Has Huge 100 Yard Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle was forced into more playing time after Sammy Watkins (hamstring) went down during the first drive. Watkins did not return to action and Pringle made sure to make the most of his extra snaps. Pringle caught six of his nine targets for 103 yards and a touchdown in […]

Demarcus Robinson Was Quiet in Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was held fairly quiet in the loss to the Colts in Week 5. Robinson was targeted six times, but was only able to haul in three of them for 31 yards in the loss. This was another case of Robinson seeing a high volume of targets, but not […]

Mecole Hardman Has Bounce Back Game

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught two passes for nine total yards during the contest last week, but performed much better against the Colts in Week 5. Hardman caught four of his six targets for 79 yards in the 19-13 loss on Sunday. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) left early in the first quarter and […]

Travis Kelce Gets Targeted 10 Times in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was a top target during the Week 5 loss to the Colts, but unfortunately he wasn't able to contribute up to his full potential. Kelce saw 10 targets, but was only able to haul in four of them for 70 yards in the loss. He led the Chiefs […]

LeSean McCoy Gets Zero Rushing Attempts

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy was not involved in the running game for the team in their loss to the Colts in Week 5. Damien Williams (knee) returned to the field this week and saw almost all of the attempts on the ground. McCoy caught two passes for 23 yards, but that was […]

Damien Williams is Held to 23 Yards

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (knee) played in Sunday's Week 5 contest versus the Colts for the first time since suiting up in Week 2. It was not a strong first game back for Williams as the Colts Defense was easily able to hold him in check. Williams rushed nine times for 23 […]

Patrick Mahomes Throws Over 300 Yards in Loss

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was able to create yards through the air, but it wasn't enough to get them the victory over the Colts in Week 5. Mahomes completed 22 of 39 passing attempts for 321 yards and a touchdown in the 19-13 loss on Sunday. This wasn't a bad game for Mahomes, […]

JaVale McGee Gets the Nod at Center on Saturday

Los Angeles Lakers center JaVale McGee will get the start at center for Saturday's preseason contest versus the Golden State Warriors. Avery Bradley, Danny Green, LeBron James and Anthony Davis will play alongside McGee in this one.

Dennis Smith Jr. Unable to Practice Saturday

New York Knicks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (back) was unable to suit up for Saturday's practice. Smith is dealing with a minor back injury, but he did miss 10 of the last 14 games last season due to back soreness. The Knicks have their first preseason game of the season on Monday, so it's […]

Hassan Whiteside Misses Another Practice on Saturday

Portland Trail Blazers center Hassan Whiteside (ankle) misses another practice on Saturday. Whiteside tweaked his left ankle during Tuesday's practice and hasn't done any work since then. The Blazers don't believe the injury is serious, but they want to be cautious here. It appears Whiteside is going to be fine after he gets in some […]

Jonas Valanciunas Won't Play in Preseason Contest

Memphis Grizzlies center Jonas Valanciunas (foot) won't play in Sunday's preseason contest against Maccabi Haifa. Valanciunas has missed a few days of practice this week due to foot soreness.

Kelly Oubre Won't Return This Week

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. (wrist) is without a timetable and will be re-evaluated in roughly a week.

Mikal Bridges (knee) is […]

Mikal Bridges Has No Timetable

Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges (knee) has no timetable for his return, but will be re-evaluated in about a week. Bridges has been dealing with knee discomfort since the beginning of training camp. The Suns are going to be cautious with Bridges, so he could end up missing the beginning of the regular season. Kelly […]

Aron Baynes Underwent Procedure on Saturday

Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes (nose) underwent a corrective procedure after suffering an injury to his nose during Thursday's practice. The team will likely have Baynes wear a mask, but he's done that before. He will be re-evaluated on Sunday, but this doesn't sound like a major issue. However, Baynes won't have much fantasy value […]

Patty Mills Won't Play in Saturday's Preseason Contest

San Antonio Spurs point guard Patty Mills (rest) won't play in Saturday's preseason contest versus the Orlando Magic. Marco Belinelli, DeMarre Carroll and Trey Lyles will sit this one out as well. Mills played for Australia in the FIBA World Cup last month and the team will ease him back into things. It appears the […]

Travis Kelce Has Excellent Matchup Versus Colts

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could be looking at an enormous game against the Colts in Week 5. Kelce has hauled in at least seven receptions for 85 yards or more in each of the last three games. He's heading into a matchup against the Colts who have allowed the most receptions to […]

Byron Pringle Could Have Value in Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Byron Pringle has been fairly quiet through the first four games of the regular season. He has two receptions for 20 yards in the first four weeks, but that could change in Week 5. Star receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) remains out, and Sammy Watkins (shoulder, hamstring) is questionable versus the […]

Demarcus Robinson Could Be Targeted Heavily on Sunday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Demarcus Robinson could end up being a big time playmaker in Sunday's Week 5 matchup with the Colts. Robinson saw nine targets, but only was able to haul in four of them for 35 yards last week. Clearly, it wasn't a great week for Robinson, but he was thrown at […]
