Carmelo Anthony Returning To Trail Blazer
The Portland Trail Blazers have agreed to a deal to bring back veteran forward Carmelo Anthony. Anthony started all 58 of his games for Portland last year, averaging 15.4 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest. The problem this upcoming season? Portland brought in Robert Covington and Derrick Jones Jr., complicating things at the forward spots. […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoElfrid Payton Re-Signing With Knicks
Free agent point guard Elfrid Payton is returning to the Knicks on a one-year, $5 million deal. Payton averaged 10.4 points, 7.5 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game and also added 1.6 steals. His struggles as a shooter can really hurt fantasy managers in some ways, but provided he beats out Dennis Smith Jr. and […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJae Crowder To Sign With Suns
The Phoenix Suns and free agent forward Jae Crowder have agreed to a three-year, $30 million contract. The Suns have suddenly decided to go all-in on making the playoffs this year, trading for Chris Paul and now bringing in someone who can provide a veteran presence as the starting four. If this signing signals that […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJoe Mixon Going On IR
The Cincinnati Bengals are placing running back Joe Mixon (foot) on the Injured Reserve, which means he'll miss at least the next three games. Mixon's whole 2020 season could be in jeopardy at this point, especially with head coach Zac Taylor refusing to rule out that possibility. At least for the next three weeks, Giovani […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoGordon Hayward Signing With Hornets
Free agent forward Gordon Hayward has agreed to a four-year, $120 million deal with the Charlotte Hornets. With Charlotte not having the cap space to make the deal outright, there's going to be some corresponding move here. Hayward faded a bit in Boston on a team full of offensive threats, but will be either the […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoAvery Bradley Signing With Heat
Free agent guard Avery Bradley has agreed to a two-year, $11.6 million deal with the Miami Heat. Bradley started 44 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 24.2 minutes per game and posting averages of 8.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game. Bradley's role with the Heat is unclear, as they just re-signed […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoFred VanVleet Returning To Raptors
Toronto Raptors guard Fred Vanvleet was one of the biggest names in this year's free agent class, but it appears that he'll be returning to Toronto on a four-year, $85 million deal. VanVleet put up strong numbers for the Raptors last season, averaging 17.6 points, 6.6 assists, and 1.9 steals per game. He shot 39 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBucks Signing Bobby Portis
The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly signing center/power forward Bobby Portis to a two-year contract. Portis played 66 games for the Knicks last season, averaging 10.1 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 35.8 percent from three. He'll bring some needed toughness to this frontcourt. Portis will likely come off the bench like he did […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoSony Michel Activated Off Injured Reserve
New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (quad) has been activated off of the Injured Reserve and looks on track to play Sunday against the Houston Texans. Houston allows the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs and the last time we saw Michel he rushed for 117 yards, but Damien Harris appears […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoKeelan Cole Sr. Is Risky Week 11 Play
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Keelan Cole Sr. saw an increase in usage last week against the Packers, catching five passes for 47 yards and a touchdown while also returning a punt for a score. But considering Cole had just two total receptions in the two previous games, it might not be a good idea to […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJake Luton Not On Radar In Week 11
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton could theoretically get some garbage time numbers on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it's really hard to trust the first-year passer against a defense allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Luton has had one good and one bad game in his two starts, including […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoD.J. Chark Jr. Should See Plenty Of Week 11 Work
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. has seen 17 targets across the two games that he's played with Jake Luton at quarterback, though 12 of those came in the first contest. With the Steelers waiting on Sunday, Jacksonville will likely be forced to take to the air often, and while the results of that […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJames Robinson Has More Risk Than Usual In Week 11
Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson has been one of the most consistent backs in football this year and is currently in the midst of a strong run of three games in which he's averaged 23.3 attempts for 109 yards and 0.7 touchdowns. His role has been bolstered by the Jags playing three close games […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoBrandon Aiyuk Placed On COVID List
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has been placed on the team's COVID list. He'll need to test negative for the virus time days in a row to be cleared to return to the field. With San Fran on a bye this week, there's still plenty of time for Aiyuk to be back for […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJoe Mixon Out For Week 11
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) will miss another game, as he won't play on Sunday against the Washington Football Team. With no clear timetable for his return, fantasy managers should prepare to have at least a couple more weeks of Giovani Bernard helming this backfield. Bernard doesn't have the same ceiling as Mixon, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoSaints Sign Trevor Siemian
The New Orleans Saints have signed quarterback Trevor Siemian. With Drew Brees (ribs) on the Injured Reserve, Siemian provides some depth behind Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston. The most plausible explanation for the move is that Siemian could serve as the No. 2 quarterback behind Winston should this week's attempt to make Hill into a […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoT.J. Hockenson Off Week 11 Injury Report
Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (toe) has been removed from the team's injury report ahead of their Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. Carolina has allowed four touchdowns to tight ends in the last five games, so you can feel confident in deploying Hockenson as your fantasy TE1 in this week's contest, even […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoAlec Burks Signing With Knicks
So far, the New York Knicks and their cap space haven't made a splashy free agency move. If that continues to be true, shooting guard Alec Burks's decision to sign there on Friday could be big for his own numbers and for potential fantasy managers. Burks split last season between Golden State and Philly. In […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoGarrett Temple To Sign With Bulls
Free agent shooting guard Garrett Temple has agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal to sign with the Chicago Bulls. A needed veteran presence on this team who can play multiple positions, Temple is unlikely to get the minutes needed to provide much in the way of fantasy value. He's more of a locker room […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDerrick Jones Jr. Signing With Portland
Free agent forward Derrick Jones Jr. is leaving the Miami Heat and is signing a two-year, $19 million deal with the Portland Trail Blazers. Best known for his incredibly leaping ability, DJJ started 16 games in Miami this past season. For the year, he averaged 8.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 52.7 […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoRobin Lopez Agrees To Deal With Wizards
Free agent center Robin Lopez has agreed to terms on a deal with the Washington Wizards. Lopez played 66 games for the Milwaukee Bucks last year, where he mostly backed up brother Brook Lopez.

Justin Carter 4 years agoJakob Poeltl Re-Signs With Spurs
San Antonio Spurs center Jakob Poeltl has re-signed with the team on a three-year, $27 million contract. Poeltl played in 66 games for the Spurs last year, starting 18 of them and averaging 5.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. He shot 62.4 percent. There are still a few questions to answer about […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoSteven Adams Traded To Pelicans
The New Orleans Pelicans have acquired center Steven Adams from Oklahoma City as part of a complicated, multi-team deal. Provided nothing happens to disrupt the deal, Adams will be the starting center in Oklahoma City since they let Derrick Favors leave for Utah. Adams should see his minutes rise back into the 30-plus per game […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoNuggets To Sign JaMychal Green
The Denver Nuggets have agreed to a two-year deal with power forward JaMychal Green worth $15 million. Denver needed to make a move in the front court after losing Jerami Grant to the Pistons on Friday, and while Green won't necessarily replace Grant's production, he does give them a stretch four who shot 38.7 percent […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMontrezl Harrell Agrees To Deal With Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers and free agent center Montrezl Harrell have agreed to terms on a two-year deal that sees Harrell move from one Los Angeles team to the other. The reigning Sixth Man of the Year, Harrell's defensive liabilities make this seem like a curious move for the Lakers in some ways, but he […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDavis Bertans Agrees To Five-Year Deal With Wizards
Free agent forward Davis Bertans is returning to the Wizards on a five-year, $80 million deal. One of the most coveted players in this year's free agent market, Bertans returns to the team he played 54 games for last season, where he averaged 15.4 points and 4.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.4 percent from […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoMalik Beasley Agrees To Big Deal With Minnesota
The Minnesota Timberwolves have agreed to a four-year, $60 million deal with guard Malik Beasley. Beasley was traded to Minnesota in February, starting all 14 games after the deal and averaging 20.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 42.6 percent from three. If that version of Beasley is what we get going forward, […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoRodney Hood Staying In Portland
Small forward Rodney Hood has agreed to a two-year, $21 million deal to stay with the Portland Trail Blazers. Hood averaged 11 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 21 games last season. He shot 50.6 percent from the field and 49.3 percent from three. Hood torn his Achilles last season, so it's quite possible […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoDwight Howard To Sign One-Year Deal With Sixers
Free agent center Dwight Howard is signing a one-year contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, where he'll serve as Joel Embiid's backup. Howard's no longer an elite center, but his skillset still works really well as a bench big. He's more valuable in real life than fantasy at this point, but his rebounding and finishing at […]
Justin Carter 4 years agoJosh Jackson Signing With Pistons
Free agent small forward Josh Jackson is signing a deal with the Detroit Pistons. After two bad years in Phoenix, Jackson spent last season with the Grizzlies, playing 22 games and averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists on 44 percent shooting. He showed signs of improvement, but this move still just feels like […]
