Furkan Korkmaz And Danuel House Jr. Miss Practice On Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forwards Furkan Korkmaz (hamstring) and Danuel House Jr. (knee) both missed practice on Friday after suffering some minor injuries. House has at least seen some action on the court throughout the preseason so far while Korkmaz has yet to play in a game. Last season, Korkmaz requested a trade since he wasn't getting […]

James Harden Could Be Sidelined If He Doesn't Play Hard

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden is still in the midst of trade talks as his situation hasn't improved and general manager Daryl Morey hasn't found a deal that he likes yet. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the 76ers are prepared to sideline Harden if he doesn't play up to their standards and play hard enough. So […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Won't Suit Up Again

Detroit Lions rookie running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) has officially been ruled out of Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers. The rookie has taken a back seat to David Montgomery in every game that both of them have been active for, but with Gibbs sitting out another game, Montgomery's value increases even more. Without the necessary […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Considered Doubtful Against Panthers

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (finger, ribs) has officially been named doubtful for their upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. The team doesn't have much of a reason to rush Wilson back to the field despite the fact that De'Von Achane (knee) won't be playing. Raheem Mostert has enjoyed a great season so […]

D'Onta Foreman Will See The Field In Week 6

Chicago Bears running back D'Onta Foreman has been a healthy scratch in four of the last five weeks but will see his first action since Week 1 after Khalil Herbert (ankle), Roschon Johnson (concussion), and Travis Homer (hamstring) have all been ruled out. Even though he has an open runway for the bulk of the […]

Cole Kmet Removed From The Injury Report

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (hamstring) is no longer on the injury report heading into the Week 6 game against the Vikings. Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief, as the TE3 from the past two weeks will take the field against one of the weaker defensive units against the position. The Vikings […]

Khalil Herbert Will Not Suit Up Against Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (ankle) has officially been ruled out of the team's Week 6 contest along with fellow backfield mates Roschon Johnson (concussion) and Travis Homer (hamstring). That leaves the backfield super thin with D'Onta Foreman as the lead back. Behind him are Darrynton Evans and Khari Blasingame. Bears running backs have […]

Roschon Johnson Ruled Out Against Vikings

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Now that he and Khalil Herbert (ankle) won't be playing, D'Onta Foreman should be moving up to the number-one option in the backfield after a few healthy scratches in games prior. As of right now, Khari […]

The Ravens Defense Looking To Deliver Again In Week 6

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has another solid matchup against the Titans in Week 6. They've been able to force six turnovers, 18 sacks, and even a safety so far this year. Now, they'll take on a Titans offense that ranks in the bottom third of the league in total yards and scoring. This is […]

Justin Tucker Looking For Big Bounce-Back In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has had a very underwhelming outcome in each of the last few weeks. Through five weeks, he's the 29th-ranked kicker in fantasy. The silver lining, this week, is that the Titans give up an average of almost 10 points to opposing kickers. There's only been one game in which they […]

Justice Hill A Desperation Play In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill was able to salvage his week against the Steelers with the only touchdown that the team scored. That doesn't mean he's going to be a quality play against a Titans team that only gives up 18.1 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. Hill still has to deal […]

Mark Andrews Still A TE1 Against Titans

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has a tough matchup ahead of him against the Titans, who are the ninth-toughest matchup against opposing tight ends. Andrews had a similar type of tough matchup against the Steelers in Week 5 and ended up with six catches for 65 yards on 10 targets. The last game was […]

Gus Edwards Tough To Trust In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards has normally been an efficient runner in his career but his last two games have been lackluster. He has to battle Lamar Jackson and Justice Hill for carries and he's uninvolved in the passing game. Through five weeks he's registered just two catches for one yard on two targets. […]

Zay Flowers Draws A Favorable Matchup In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is still looking for the first touchdown of his career but draws a matchup against the Titans in Week 6. On average, the Titans give up 40.8 fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers in PPR formats. Despite Odell Beckham Jr. trending towards playing, Flowers should still see […]

Lamar Jackson Looks To Right The Ship Against Titans

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson posted a very disappointing performance against the division-rival Steelers in Week 5. He now has three games with two or more touchdowns and two games with zero scores and multiple turnovers. The Titans present a bit of a challenge in Week 6 as they've only allowed an average of 14.7 […]

Smith should see an even […]

Trae Young Scores 20 Points In Limited Minutes

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young lit up the scoreboard in the second quarter of the team's 103-102 preseason win over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Scoot Henderson Drops 22 Points Against Phoenix

Portland Trail Blazers guard Scoot Henderson flashed his scoring ability in the preseason matchup against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.

Dillon Brooks Fined For "Recklessly Making Contact"

Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks was ejected on Tuesday night just five minutes into their preseason game when he hit Daniel Theis in the groin area. The NBA announced that Brooks was fined $25,000 for "recklessly making contact." With Brooks' style of play, this whole situation doesn't come as a big surprise, but his defensive […]

Jeremy Sochan Won't Play In Preseason Opener

San Antonio Spurs forward Jeremy Sochan (soreness) will not be suiting up for the team's preseason opener along with Keldon Johnson due to what's being called "general soreness."

Keldon Johnson Not Slated To Play Monday

San Antonio Spurs forward Keldon Johnson (soreness) will not take part in the team's first preseason game as he's listed to be dealing with "general soreness."
