James Harden Must Isolate Until Friday

Houston Rockets guard James Harden must isolate until Friday after breaking the NBA's COVID-19 precautionary rules. If he continues to test negative, he'll be eligible to play on Saturday against the Portland Trail Blazers. At this point, we shouldn't trust that Harden will play until we actually see him in a Rockets jersey pre-game, but […]

Dylan Windler Leaves Game After Collision

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Dylan Windler left Wednesday's game against the Hornets after a mid-air collision with JaVale McGee and will not return. Windler had three points and two steals before leaving. Windler isn't on anyone's fantasy radar right now, but if he misses time, there will be a few more minutes to go around to […]

Cody Zeller Fractures Left Hand

Charlotte Hornets center Cody Zeller has suffered a fractured left hand. Zeller will likely miss at least a few weeks with this injury, opening up more minutes for Bismack Biyombo and P.J. Washington. Washington is the more interesting of the two, as he was already going to be seeing a lot of minutes at the […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 16

It's fantasy championship week, y'all! Apologies to those of you who play in Week 17, but the entire focus of this article is going to be on which guys who are still on the wire and rostered in under half of all leagues will have a chance to help you out in Week 16. If […]

Tee Higgins Disappoints In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins had a team-high six targets in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers but ended up with just three catches for 31 yards. It was his worst output since Week 11. Higgins has a bright future once quarterback Joe Burrow is back under center next year, but he's a risky […]

Giovani Bernard Scores Twice On Monday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard saw 25 carries in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, finishing with 83 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one pass for a 14-yard touchdown. Bernard isn't the most efficient runner in the world, but he's managing to get things done when he gets the volume, making him […]

Ryan Finley Runs For Touchdown On Monday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Ryan Finley threw just 13 passes in Monday's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, completing seven of them for 89 yards and a touchdown. He also added 10 carries for 47 yards and a score. The Steelers struggled to stop Finley when he decided to run, which contributed to Pittsburgh dropping their third […]

Some key features of our draft: We've got a 12-team, H2H 9-Cat league on Yahoo. And, uhh, I guess that's really all the main things you need to know. We […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Is Healthy Scratch

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. The second-year receiver has just never managed to find a rhythm in the NFL, and it's looking more and he looks closer to being out of the league than to being a productive NFL option.

Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable To Return With Knee Injury

Chicago Bears running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings with a knee injury. Patterson leaves with one carry for three yards and one catch for four yards. His absence doesn't change much about this Bears offense, as his usage has been down lately, aside from a […]

DeeJay Dallas Carted Off Field

Seattle Seahawks running back DeeJay Dallas has been carted off the field with an air cast on his right foot/ankle. Dallas was injured on special teams during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He did not have an offensive touch in this game, but the promising rookie could play a key role on the team […]

Stephon Gilmore Heading To Locker Room

New England Patriots defensive back Stephon Gilmore (knee) was helped to the locker room after going down with a non-contact leg injury during Sunday's game against the Dolphins. One of the best defensive backs in the NFL, Gilmore's absence could open up opportunities for a Dolphins offense that has struggled so far in their Week […]

Collin Johnson Questionable To Return

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Collin Johnson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Johnson had the only reception for the Jaguars at the time he exited, an eight-yard first-quarter reception. If he's unable to return, D.J. Chark Jr. and Laviska Shenault Jr. could see an additional target or two each, […]

James White Active for Week 15

New England Patriots running back James White (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. With Damien Harris (foot) out, White should see increased work, as he'll be competing with Sony Michel and J.J. Taylor for touches. White has just seven catches in the last three games and eight carries, so the low […]

Salvon Ahmed Active For Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots. With a lot of skill position players out, expect Ahmed to play a major role in this one. Even against a tough defense, Ahmed will get enough opportunities to make him a low-end RB2 option with a solid […]

Mark Ingram II Out For Week 15

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II is a healthy scratch for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Considering Ingram didn't have a carry last week and played just one offensive snap, this doesn't really change anything from a fantasy perspective. J.K. Dobbins will serve as the lead back against a Jaguars Defense that has struggled. […]

Jameis Winston Placed On COVID-19 List

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston was placed on the COVID-19 list Sunday, which will keep him out of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Winston was expected to serve as the backup quarterback to Drew Brees, but it looks like Taysom Hill will wind up in that role. It's unclear yet if this […]

Antonio Gibson Officially Out Against Seattle

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (toe) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Seattle Seahawks. Gibson was listed as doubtful coming into the game, so this isn't much of a surprise. J.D. McKissic will be the lead back on Sunday and should be considered a mid-tier RB2 play, though he lacks the […]

Matthew Stafford Active For Week 15

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb, ribs) is officially suiting up for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. There was doubt early in the week about this, but Stafford trended up as game day approached and is good to go against a porous Titans passing defense. The injury concerns are here, but Stafford should be […]

Ezekiel Elliott Inactive For Week 15

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Elliott has never missed a game due to injury, so it's a bit surprising to see that he won't be giving it a go this week. Tony Pollard will slide into the lead back role and is a […]

Dolphins Won't Have DeVante Parker, Mike Gesicki, Jakeem Grant

Yikes. The Miami Dolphins will reportedly be without three of their top pass-catchers when they take on New England on Sunday, with wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) both reportedly out despite hopes they'd be able to play. Wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. (hamstring) is out as well. With that […]

Jalen Hurts Expected To Start Rest Of 2020

Philadelphia Eagles rookie quarterback Jalen Hurts is expected to be the starting quarterback in Philly for the rest of the 2020 season. Hurts is a dual-threat player who made a major impact on the ground in his first NFL start, rushing for 106 yards. His presence helps negate some of the offensive line issues that […]

Kyle Pitts Declares For NFL Draft

Florida tight end Kyle Pitts has declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. In eight games this season, Pitts had 36 receptions for 641 yards and 11 touchdowns. He's an elite tight end prospect who would instantly shift the fantasy landscape at the position depending on his landing spot in April. His big-play potential makes him […]

Robert Tonyan Catches Touchdown In Week 15

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught three passes for 18 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's win over the Carolina Panthers. He now has 10 touchdown catches on the season. Tonyan hasn't been consistently producing yardage, but his ability to find the end zone has kept him on the fantasy radar week after […]

Davante Adams Quiet Against Panthers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams had seven receptions in Saturday's win over the Carolina Panthers but finished with just 42 yards and no receptions. It was the second-lowest yardage output of the season for Adams and his first time since Week 6 to not catch a touchdown. It was a letdown for fantasy […]

Aaron Jones Has Huge Saturday Night

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones saw 20 of the 22 carries by Green Bay running backs in Sunday's win over the Carolina Panthers. With those carries, Jones had 145 yards and a touchdown. He also added three catches for 13 yards. It was a huge night for Jones, who saw his most rushing […]
