3 days agoSt. Louis Blues right wing Kasperi Kapanen sustained an upper-body injury in Tuesday's 8-1 loss to Ottawa. He recorded one shot and two hits across 6:37 of action in the contest. Kapanen was drafted into the lineup due to Mathieu Joseph's (lower body) absence. Nathan Walker could now be the next man up. Walker has managed one assist with five shots in five games this season. Fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire.

3 days agoWashington Capitals defenseman Jakob Chychrun was knocked out of Tuesday's game against the Rangers by an upper-body injury. He took only two shifts, exiting after logging 1:50 of ice time. Chychrun has done well for his new club this season, logging four points (two goals, two assists) in eight games with a plus-five rating. Martin Fehervary joined John Carlson on the first defensive pairing following Chychrun's exit on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Alexander Alexeyev is poised to make his season debut if Chychrun is out for the next game. The Capitals will return to action on Thursday versus Montreal.

3 days agoChicago Bulls point guard
Lonzo Ball (wrist) will be sidelined for at least 10 days. He's dealing with a sprained wrist and will be re-evaluated in 10 days, the team announced. Ball has averaged 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 15.7 minutes during his comeback campaign.
Ayo Dosunmu looks to be in line for a larger role during Ball's absence. Some horrible shooting has limited Dosunmu to just 5.8 points this campaign, but he's a good all-around talent and fantasy managers should get plenty out of him. The 24-year-old sits among the team leaders with 5.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists.

3 days agoOrlando Magic forward
Jonathan Isaac (hip) continues to carry a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Chicago. Isaac was hurt in the season opener and has been held out of action since then. There hasn't really been a direct beneficiary of Isaac's absence, as Orlando's bench mob has not been very productive. However, Wednesday night could be a different story, as Chicago doesn't have a good record against second units.
Anthony Black has seen the most minutes off the Magic bench, while
Moritz Wagner has been the biggest threat offensively.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoOrlando Magic center
Goga Bitadze (foot) has been labeled as questionable for Wednesday's clash with the Bulls. Bitadze missed his first game of the season Monday night versus Indiana due to a foot injury. He wasn't a big miss for the Magic, as the Georgian big man has averaged only 5.7 minutes for the campaign.
Moritz Wagner gets some extra work with Bitadze out. He's averaging 12.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 15.0 minutes. The 27-year-old German could be a bit more productive on Wednesday night, as Chicago allows the eight-most points and the third-most rebounds to opposing benches in the league.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoMiami Heat forward/center
Kevin Love (personal) will not be in the lineup against the Knicks on Wednesday. Love is dealing with personal issues at the moment and hasn't seen any action so far this season.
Thomas Bryant has solidified his spot as the backup center during Love's absence, although he doesn't provide a lot for fantasy managers. Bryant has recorded 5.7 points per game with 2.0 rebounds in 13.7 minutes.
Haywood Highsmith is also in a position to play a more prominent role in the rotation, but his production has been very underwhelming.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoToronto Raptors forward/center
Kelly Olynyk (back) will remain out for Wednesday's meeting with Charlotte. The veteran big man has yet to play this season due to a back problem. Olynyk's absence has allowed
Chris Boucher to hold down a regular spot in the rotation. He has notched 7.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks in 17.3 minutes.
Jonathan Mogbo and
Bruno Fernando also benefit from Olynyk's absence. With
Scottie Barnes (eye) joining Olynyk and
Bruce Brown (knee) on the shelf Wednesday, the second unit could have an even larger role to play versus the Hornets.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoAtlanta Hawks forward
De'Andre Hunter (knee) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Washington. He has already missed two games with right knee inflammation. Hunter averaged 18.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 29.5 minutes before dropping out of the lineup. His absence has allowed
Zaccharie Risacher to make his first career starts. The top pick of this year's draft has struggled in his first appearances in the Association. Risacher shot only 1-for-8 from the field and had four points when Atlanta lost to Washington 121-119 on Monday.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
3 days agoNew Orleans Pelicans forward
Herbert Jones injured his right shoulder in Tuesday's game against Golden State. He exited the contest in the third quarter, finishing with five points, three rebounds, and one steal in 20 minutes. The two teams meet again on Wednesday, and Jones should be regarded as questionable for the game.
Javonte Green and
Jordan Hawkins could receive additional minutes with Jones out. Hawkins has the most fantasy upside of the two, but he performed poorly on Tuesday, as the 22-year-old settled for only four points in 26 minutes.
--Taavi Pailk - RotoBallerSource: Christian Clark
3 days agoThe Minnesota Vikings released running back
Myles Gaskin but have re-signed him to their practice squad. The 27-year-old has spent most of this season on the active roster but offered minimal contributions. He had just 10 scrimmage yards on four touches, plus three kick returns for an additional 60 yards. For obvious reasons, he's off the fantasy radar.
--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Minnesota Vikings
4 days agoNew York Jets kicker
Greg Zuerlein (knee) was limited during Tuesday's practice session. The veteran kicker has been added to the injury report with a left knee issue ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Texans. It's worth noting that the Jets brought in kickers for a tryout on Tuesday. Zuerlein has struggled this season as he has made only 9-of-15 field goal attempts. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help as Zuerlein might not even be able to play this week.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Jets.com
4 days agoLos Angeles Lakers guard
Austin Reaves (thigh) is probable for Wednesday's matchup versus Cleveland. He has a left thigh contusion. However, fantasy managers should expect to see him on the court against the undefeated Cavs. The 26-year-old has played well this season, averaging career-highs in points (19.3), rebounds (7.0), and three-point shooting (48.0%). As such, Reaves remains a must-start in any fantasy format. He may also be more involved offensively if
D'Angelo Russell (back) can't get on the floor.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoThe New England Patriots were reportedly monitoring the trade market to possibly add talent ahead of the deadline. The organization is reportedly looking to add at wide receiver, defensive tackle, and offensive tackle. This seems a bit bizarre considering the Patriots are currently sitting at 2-6 and third in their division. However, the Patriots could be trying to add for their future and not a one-year deal. The Patriots were able to beat the New York Jets last week, so maybe their season isn't over quite yet.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Josina Anderson
4 days agoLos Angeles Lakers guard
D'Angelo Russell (back) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The 28-year-old has struggled this season, averaging 11.0 points, 5.8 assists, and 28.0% shooting from behind the arc. Yet, Russell could miss Wednesday's contest because of back soreness, although a night off may help him break out of his slump.
Austin Reaves (thigh) is probable, so
Max Christie and
Gabe Vincent could split time at the one if Russell doesn't play. It's also possible
LeBron James slides over, with
Dalton Knecht entering the starting lineup.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoDetroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams was recently suspended two games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Now, Williams could be in even more trouble after an incident with the police earlier this month. Williams was the passenger of a routine traffic stop on October 8th. He discussed the incident with the organization and it seemed like a minor issue. That doesn't appear to be the case as Williams reportedly had a gun on him in the car. The Detroit police are investigating why Williams avoided arrest after a gun was found in the car. Possibly this incident blows over, but this is something fantasy managers should keep an eye on right now.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Adam Schefter
4 days agoAtlanta Hawks guard/forward
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) underwent a non-surgical procedure on Monday. He will be re-evaluated in four weeks. The 32-year-old appeared in the opening night win over the Brooklyn Nets, finishing with eight points and two blocks. However, he's been sidelined since due to right hamstring tendinopathy. Bogdanovic is one of the most important players on Atlanta's roster due to his versatility. He's also the team's most reliable bench option. Unfortunately, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Bogdanovic back on the court for a while. With
Vit Krejci (adductor) also sidelined,
Garrison Mathews will likely see more minutes. While Mathews is worth monitoring, he's not someone who should be added to fantasy rosters until he shows consistent production.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: Atlanta Hawks
4 days agoJacksonville Jaguars offensive tackle Cam Robinson has been traded to the Minnesota Vikings on Tuesday. Robinson has started over 90 games for the Jags over the last eight seasons. He has been a big part of the o-line in Jacksonville, but the organization felt it was time to move on. In exchange, Jacksonville will receive a conditional 5th round pick. It felt like the Jags could've got a bigger haul, but Robinson is in the final year of his contract. The Vikings desperately needed help at left tackle with Christian Darrisaw (knee) suffering an ACL tear last week. Robinson should be able to step in and provide stability to this o-line.
--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport
4 days agoAtlanta Hawks guard
Dyson Daniels (hip) won't play on Wednesday against the Wizards. The former Pelican has a hip flexor strain, which is unfortunate, considering he is averaging career-highs in points (12.8), rebounds (4.3), steals (2.8), and blocks (1.0). The Hawks also won't have
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and
Vit Krejci (adductor) on Wednesday night. At the same time,
De'Andre Hunter (knee) is questionable. As a result,
Garrison Mathews and
Zaccharie Risacher could work their way into the starting lineup while seeing plenty of minutes, giving them value for fantasy managers.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoToronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (pelvis) is doubtful heading into Wednesday's game versus the Hornets. The former Knick had 13 points, four assists, and one steal in the opener against Cleveland. However, he exited that one after just 14 minutes because of a pelvic contusion and has been on the shelf since. With
Scottie Barnes (eye) out,
RJ Barrett, who made his 2024-25 debut on Monday night, should pick up some of the slack offensively.
Davion Mitchell, averaging 8.0 points, 5.7 assists, and 45.5% shooting from deep in three starts this season, is worth streaming as long as Quickley is officially ruled out.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoToronto Raptors forward
Scottie Barnes (eye) won't play in Wednesday's matchup with the Charlotte Hornets. The 23-year-old had a stellar showing in Monday's overtime loss to the Nuggets, finishing with 21 points, 12 boards, nine assists, and five steals. However, he exited the contest after taking an elbow to the face by
Nikola Jokic. It's not good news for Toronto, considering
RJ Barrett just returned from a shoulder injury. With Immanuel Quickly (pelvis) doubtful, Barrett should pick up some slack offensively. At the same time,
Gradey Dick,
Ochai Agbaji, and
Davion Mitchell are viable streaming options.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoIndiana Pacers center
Myles Turner (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Boston Celtics. The 28-year-old has played well this season, averaging 15.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.0 blocks. But he's in danger of missing the Pacers' fifth game on the schedule because of a sprained left ankle. If Turner doesn't suit up,
Isaiah Jackson, averaging 13.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three starts last season, has a place in all fantasy lineups. He'll also be a popular DFS value option.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoNew York Knicks forward
Josh Hart (leg) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat. He took a beating in Monday's loss to the Cavaliers before exiting late in the contest because of a right lower leg contusion. However, the veteran had played well up to that point and finished with 16 points, 13 rebounds, and three steals. Hart has been known to play through injuries, so there's a good chance he'll be out there. But if he's not,
Miles McBride and
Ariel Hukporti could see significantly more work from off the bench.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoWashington Wizards forward
Kyle Kuzma (groin) won't play in Wednesday's rematch with the Hawks. The 29-year-old came close to a triple-double in Monday's game versus Atlanta, amassing 25 points, 11 rebounds, and seven assists. He also logged a game-high 40 minutes. However, Kuzma couldn't finish the game due to a right groin strain. There's a realistic chance the injury could cost him a substantial amount of time. But until Kuzma is back on the floor,
Jordan Poole,
Bilal Coulibaly, and
Corey Kispert should pick up most of the slack. At the same time, rookie
Bub Carrington, who has averaged 8.7 points in three games this season, is worth monitoring in case his role grows even more.
--Dennis Clausen - RotoBallerSource: NBA Injury Report
4 days agoUtah Hockey Club defenseman Michael Kesselring (illness) didn't practice on Tuesday. He has been struck down by an illness, leaving Kesselring questionable for Wednesday's matchup against Calgary. The 24-year-old has played a big role at the back for the injury-hit Utah team, amassing five points (two goals, three assists) in 10 games with 14 shots, eight blocks, and 15 hits. Juuso Valimaki will likely re-enter the lineup on Wednesday if Kesselring isn't ready to go. Despite logging regular power-play time, Valimaki has been anonymous offensively this season, going scoreless in eight outings with seven shots on net.

4 days agoSt. Louis Blues right wing Mathieu Joseph (lower body) will not play on Tuesday versus Ottawa. He's returning to St. Louis to get evaluated for a lower-body injury. Joseph has done a decent job in a bottom-six role for the Blues, amassing two goals and two assists in nine appearances. Kasperi Kapanen will be filling in for Joseph on the third line Tuesday. The Finnish winger has been limited to one goal with nine shots in seven outings this season.

4 days agoPittsburgh Steelers cornerback Cameron Sutton had his eight-game suspension lifted on Tuesday. Sutton was suspended this offseason for violating the league's personal conduct policy following a domestic abuse incident in the Spring. Sutton will return to a Steelers defense that is once again near the top of the league. The unit is No. 9 in yards per game allowed and No. 2 in points per game allowed. Sutton last played in 2023 for the Detroit Lions. He recorded a career-high 65 tackles and caught one interception. Sutton spent the first six years of his career in Pittsburgh and returned to the team this past offseason. He will provide depth in a crowded cornerback room that includes Joey Porter Jr., Donte Jackson, and Beanie Bishop Jr.

Brink was taken out of the lineup despite being among the team's most productive players. He has tallied four points (one goal, three assists) in six appearances this season. Brink will jump on the third line and skate next to Joel Farabee and Scott Laughton. Nicolas Deslauriers exits the lineup to make room for him.

It was initially reported that Slafkovsky had hurt his shoulder, but he denied this Tuesday morning, calling his upper-body ailment simply a "weird injury." The 20-year-old has had a productive start to the campaign, averaging a point per contest in six outings. He sits on one goal and five assists with seven shots. Despite Slafkovsky's return, Kirby Dach will maintain a top-line role versus the Kraken. Slafkovsky will join Alex Newhook and Joel Armia on the second line.
