Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5

Another week of NBA action is upon us, and there are things happening, including whatever the Carmelo Anthony situation is in Houston, and the Jimmy Butler trade, and the Kings continuing to be not bad. It's a weird week! You can find a long breakdown of the 76ers and Timberwolves on the site today from […]

Nikola Vucevic Scores 30 Points Against Sixers

Orlando Magic center Nikola Vucevic scored 30 points on 10-for-19 shooting in Wednesday's win over the 76ers. He added in three three-pointers as well. The veteran big man grabbed eight rebounds to go along with four assists and two steals. Orlando plays the Lakers on Saturday, who are currently allowing the fifth-most points in the […]

Wilson Chandler Performs Well Despite Minutes Restriction

Philadelphia 76ers forward Wilson Chandler was on a minutes restriction again in Wednesday's meeting with the Magic, but he made the most of his 23 minutes on the court, scoring 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting and adding four rebounds and a steal to the ledger as well. Chandler's ceiling is limited at this point, but […]

J.J. Redick Scores 22 Points Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick's time as a sixth man appears to be over after the team's acquisition of Jimmy Butler, and the veteran sharpshooter is already making the most of his expanded role. Against Orlando on Wednesday, Redick scored 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting while also adding in six assists and four rebounds. Philadelphia […]

Jimmy Butler Scores 14 Points In Sixers Debut

Philadelphia 76ers forward Jimmy Butler had his debut as a 76er in Wednesday's loss to the Magic, putting up 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting and also adding four rebounds and a pair of assists. It was an encouraging start for Butler, who should continue to see a larger role on this team as the season […]

Joel Embiid Records Triple-Double Against Orlando

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid scored 19 points on 6-for-20 shooting in Wednesday's loss to the Orlando Magic. He was 4-for-7 from three after opening the game 3-for-3 from deep, and he grabbed a team-high 13 rebounds to go along with 10 assists. The numbers hide some of Embiid's offensive struggles after a good first […]

Jamal Murray Efficient Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray scored 15 points on 7-for-13 shooting in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets. He added five assists and a steal as well. Murray hasn't broken 20 points since his 48-point outburst against the Celtics, and he's shooting 14.3 percent from three in that stretch, but the third-year guard has shown […]

Gary Harris Gets Out Of Shooting Slump Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets guard Gary Harris was shooting under 30 percent from the field and from three over four games before Tuesday's loss to the Rockets, but Harris started to emerge from his cocoon, scoring 15 points on 6-for-13 shooting and hitting three of his six attempts from downtown. He had four steals as well. Harris […]

Nikola Jokic Records Double-Double Against Rockets

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic scored 14 points on 6-for-14 shooting in Tuesday's loss to Houston. He also grabbed 12 rebounds and added in seven assists and a pair of steals. Jokic continues to have an effective season for fantasy owners, and should be in a good position for success on Thursday against a Hawks […]

Chris Paul Scores 21 Points Against Denver

Houston Rockets point guard Chris Paul scored 21 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He was 3-for-7 from three-point range and also dished out four assists while adding five rebounds and a pair of steals. Paul has had some struggles scoring the basketball, but has now posted his two most […]

James Ennis Effective Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets forward James Ennis scored 16 points on 6-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also added four rebounds and a pair of blocks. Ennis has been wildly inconsistent with his scoring output for the Rockets this season, and coming into Tuesday's game had scored a combined seven points over his […]

Clint Capela Efficient Against Nuggets

Houston Rockets center Clint Capela scored 24 points on 11-for-15 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets. He also grabbed nine rebounds and added two assists and a block. It was Capela's third game of the year with 20 or more points, but he also was held to under 10 rebounds for the third […]

James Harden Records Double-Double Against Nuggets

It took a while for Houston Rockets guard James Harden to get his scoring going in Tuesday's win over the Nuggets, but by the end of the night he'd put up another strong performance. Harden scored 22 points on 7-for-16 shooting and added a team-high 11 assists. Last season's MVP also grabbed five rebounds to […]

P.J. Tucker Shoots Well From Deep Against Denver

Houston Rockets forward P.J. Tucker scored 12 points on 4-for-8 shooting in Tuesday's win over the Denver Nuggets, with seven of those shot attempts coming from three-point range. He also grabbed six rebounds and added two assists, a steal, and a block. In three games since Carmelo Anthony last played for Houston, Tucker is averaging […]

The Tape Tells All - Marcus Mariota's Week 10 Performance

We're over halfway through the NFL season and I still haven't broken down any quarterbacks in this column. The reason? Yeah, I don't know. I guess no one really surprised me enough? But over the past two weeks, one quarterback has really come to life -- Tennessee Titans passer Marcus Mariota. Let's look at some […]

Dede Westbrook Leads Team In Targets In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook was targeted a team-high 10 times in Sunday's loss to the Colts, finishing with 30 yards on five catches. Westbrook continues to see a lot of quarterback Blake Bortles' targets, but he's also failed to reach the 50-yard mark in four straight games and looks to be a touchdown-dependent […]

James O'Shaughnessy Catches Five Passes In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end James O'Shaughnessy returned after missing Jacksonville's past two games and caught five passes in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Colts. He finished with 46 yards and was targeted six times. It was O'Shaughnessy's most productive game of the season, though it would take another similar follow-up for fantasy owners to […]

Donte Moncrief Catches 80-Yard Touchdown

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Donte Moncrief got a chance to go against his former team, the Indianapolis Colts, on Sunday, and while the Jaguars didn't manage to take them down, Moncrief did get a huge highlight play, catching an 80-yard touchdown as part of a three-catch, 98-yard performance. Moncrief has targeted just four times, though, […]

T.J. Yeldon Still Used In Receiving Game Against Colts

Despite the return of Leonard Fournette cutting into his carries, Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon maintained some value in Week 10 thanks to his receiving ability. Yeldon caught five passes for 51 yards in Sunday's loss and added 12 rushing yards on three carries. While Yeldon's value in standard leagues is virtually nonexistent with […]

Carlos Hyde A Non-Factor Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde barely saw the field on Sunday against the Colts, ending the day with five rushing yards on three carries. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) back in the lineup, Hyde isn't a fantasy relevant option moving forward unless Fournette misses more time, and even then he faces an uphill battle behind […]

Leonard Fournette Looks Great In Return

It's been a rough year for Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette, who has dealt with hamstring issues off and on and played in just two games before Jacksonville's bye week. But Fournette was back on the field against the Colts in Week 10, and it was like he'd never been gone at all. The second-year […]

Blake Bortles Tosses Two Touchdowns Against Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 320 yards and a pair of touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Indianapolis Colts. He completed 26 of his 38 passing attempts and didn't turn the ball over. The embattled quarterback also added eight yards on the ground. It's been an up and down year for Bortles, who […]

Chris Carson Out Against Rams

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (hip) won't play against the Rams. Expect Mike Davis to see the bulk of the carries against a Rams defense that has allowed four rushing touchdowns to running backs over the past two games. Consider Davis a strong RB2/flex option this week.

Quinn Cook Comes Up Big For Warriors

Golden State Warriors point guard Quinn Cook started on Saturday against the Nets with Stephen Curry out, and Cook was big for the Warriors. He scored 27 points on 11-for-16 shooting and added five assists and three rebounds. With Curry expected to miss a little time, Cook can be a good streaming option in a […]

Joe Harris Scores 24 Points Against Warriors

Brooklyn Nets guard Joe Harris scored 24 points on 9-for-12 shooting in Saturday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. He was 4-for-6 from three and added two assists, a rebound, and a steal. Harris has had a strong impact as a shooter for the Nets this year and should be a safe play on Monday […]

Gerald Green, Carmelo Anthony Out On Sunday

Houston Rockets guard Gerald Green (ankle) and forward Carmelo Anthony (illness) will both miss Sunday's meeting with the Indiana Pacers. Expect an uptick in minutes and usage for Gary Clark off the Rockets bench, who could be a DFS sleeper in this contest with Houston thin on the bench.

Manti Te'o A Surprise Inactive In Week 10

New Orleans Saints linebacker Manti Te'o won't play in Week 10. Despite not appearing on the injury list all week, the Saints will be without their starting linebacker for a meeting with a good Bengals offense. This should be good for Cincinnati, especially running back Joe Mixon, who will have more space to work with […]

Jamison Crowder, Chris Thompson Inactive In Week 10

The Washington Redskins will be without running back Chris Thompson and wide receiver Jamison Crowder for Sunday's meeting with Tampa Bay. In the running game, expect to see heavy doses of Adrian Peterson with some Kapri Bibbs mixed in, while the Redskins passing game should rely more on tight ends Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis […]

Kevin White A Healthy Inactive For Week 10

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kevin White has been made a healthy scratch for Week 10's meeting with the Detroit Lions. The Bears have found some good pieces at wide receiver this season, and the former first-round pick hasn't been able to carve out time in the rotation. He's still worth a roster spot in deep […]

Robby Anderson Inactive In Week 10

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson (ankle) won't play in Week 10 against the Bills. New York will use Quincy Enunwa and Jermaine Kearse more in the passing game, but a difficult matchup with a strong Bills passing defense makes it tough to trust either guy as more than a deep league flex option.
