Robert Covington Struggles With Shot In Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers forward Robert Covington looked every bit the defensive force that made him a member of last year's All-Defensive Team in Tuesday's loss to the Boston Celtics, grabbing a pair of steals while blocking a shot and pulling down six rebounds. But Covington has to contribute offensively to justify where he was drafted by […]

J.J. Redick Provides Bench Scoring In Season Opener

Philadelphia 76ers guard J.J. Redick was moved to a bench role this season with Markelle Fultz taking his place in the starting unit, but the veteran guard is still seeing plenty of minutes off the bench and is expected to play with the starters in the second half of games. In Tuesday's season-opening loss to […]

Joel Embiid Opens Season With Double-Double

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid didn't have the easiest time, especially matched up with Celtics center Al Horford in Tuesday's loss to Boston, but the Cameroonian big man managed to open his 2018-2019 campaign with a double-double. Embiid put up 23 points on 9-for-21 shooting and made just one of his four attempts from three. […]

Ben Simmons Fills Stat Sheet Against Boston

Philadelphia 76ers point guard Ben Simmons scored 19 points on 7-for-14 shooting in Tuesday's season-opening loss to the Boston Celtics. The second-year playmaker also grabbed 15 rebounds and dished out eight assists to go along with four steals and a pair of blocks. Simmons is off to a strong start to his second NBA campaign, […]

Allen Crabbe, Shabazz Napier Out Against Detroit

Brooklyn Nets guards Allen Crabbe (ankle) and Shabazz Napier (hamstring) won't suit up for Wednesday's season-opening meeting with the Detroit Pistons. With DeMarre Carroll (ankle) missing time after surgery on Tuesday, expect to see an increase in playing time for Caris Levert, a popular fantasy sleeper who is likely to start in place of Crabbe.

Isaiah Canaan Expected To Be Suns Starting Point Guard

Phoenix Suns point guard Isaiah Canaan is expected to begin the season as the team's starter after Phoenix failed to trade for a point guard after dealing Brandon Knight to Houston. The move creates some fantasy value for Canaan, but he's unlikely to have a huge impact with Devin Booker demanding most of the attention […]

DeMarre Carroll To Have Ankle Surgery

Brooklyn Nets forward DeMarre Carroll will have ankle surgery, according to Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson. Atkinson downplayed the seriousness of the surgery and didn't offer a timetable for Carroll's return, but it can be assumed he'll miss some time. Expect an increase in minutes for Caris Levert while he's out, as well as potential […]

Jamaal Charles Barely A Factor In Week 6

Prior to Sunday's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed former Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, but the once great fantasy player barely factored into Sunday's loss, carrying the ball five times for five yards while catching one pass for five yards as well. Charles isn't worth fantasy consideration in any size league […]

T.J. Yeldon Doesn't See Much Usage Against Cowboys

Jacksonville Jaguars running back T.J. Yeldon wasn't much of a factor in the Jaguars 40-7 loss to Dallas on Sunday, carrying the ball just eight times for 41 yards while catching three passes for 29 yards. With Jacksonville going down early, the team wasn't able to get their rushing attack going. Yeldon will look to […]

Blake Bortles Has Rough Outing Against Cowboys

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles struggled on Sunday in the team's blowout loss to the Dallas Cowboys, throwing for 149 yards on 15-for-26 passing with a touchdown and an interception. Bortles added 22 rushing yards as well. The Cowboys defense completely shut down Jacksonville, who were unable to get anything going through the air or […]

Keke Coutee Catches Three Passes Against Buffalo

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee's third NFL game didn't feature the same high target share that his first two games did, as the rookie finished with just three catches for 33 yards on five targets. The result says more about how Houston's passing attack struggled than it does about Coutee, but with a matchup […]

Will Fuller Struggles Against Bills

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) barely made a dent against the Bills defense in Sunday's victory, catching two of his three targets for 33 yards. It was the second consecutive game where Fuller has struggled and failed to find the end zone after the connection between him and quarterback Deshaun Watson had looked […]

DeAndre Hopkins Catches Touchdown In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins was the lone bright spot in Houston's passing offense in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills, catching five passes for 63 yards and a touchdown. On a day where Houston struggled to move the ball through the air, Hopkins led the team in receiving yards, receptions, and targets. Even […]

Lamar Miller Has Forgettable Game Against Buffalo

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller continued a string of mediocre outings, carrying the ball 15 times for 46 yards against the Bills on Sunday and adding 25 receiving yards on a pair of receptions. While it wasn't a bad fantasy day for Miller, his performance didn't do much to quiet concerns about his usage […]

Deshaun Watson Has Disappointing Day Against Bills

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson threw for just 177 yards in Sunday's victory over the Buffalo Bills, tossing a touchdown and a pair of interceptions. The Bills defense sacked Watson seven times and kept him from using his legs as a weapon, as he ended the game with just two rushing yards on two attempts. […]

Week 6 Busts - Overvalued Players to Avoid In Fantasy Football

It's Week 6 in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns have now won two games! Everything we once knew has been radically changed...except that the Browns won partially because Joe Flacco couldn't beat them, and Joe Flacco failing to beat a team isn't a new development. The more things change, the more nothing changes! Anyway, […]

Blake Bortles Has Upside In Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles threw for 430 yards against the Chiefs in Week 5, but he also threw four interceptions on a day where fantasy owners were much happier with the Jacksonville quarterback than Jaguars fans were. Bortles has another chance to put up strong fantasy numbers against the Cowboys on Sunday, a team […]

Lamar Miller Can't Be Trusted Against Bills

Houston Texans running back Lamar Miller (chest) is off the team's injury report, but he enters Week 6 without the same clear grasp on the team's starting running back role that he had when the season started. Miller's ineffectiveness has allowed Alfred Blue to gain a significant share of the team's carries, putting Miller's fantasy […]

Keke Coutee Is Strong PPR Option In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee has been targeted 22 times in his first two NFL games. Against the Bills on Sunday, Coutee will look to make an impact for the third consecutive week for a Texans team that's already leaning heavily on the rookie. His target share and his occasional usage as a runner […]

Will Fuller A Risky Play In Week 6

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) was barely used in Houston's Week 5 win over the Cowboys, finishing with two catches for 15 yards. It's likely that the hamstring issue contributed to Fuller's lack of usage, making him a risky option this week without much clarity on the status of his hamstring. He'll always […]
