Jordan Clarkson Drops Team-High 23 Points Off Bench

Utah Jazz shooting guard Jordan Clarkson continued to be a walking bucket off the bench during Saturday's loss to Minnesota. Clarkson maximized his 23 minutes on the floor by dropping a team-best 23 points on 8-for-17 shooting. Instant offense when he's on the court, Clarkson continues to make a case for being rostered in the […]

D'Angelo Russell Drops Game-High 25 Points During Victory

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard D'Angelo Russell remained the focal point of his team's offense during its win Saturday over the Jazz as he compiled a game-best 25 points on 9-for-21 shooting.

De'Aaron Fox Keys Victory With 24-Point Showing

Sacramento Kings point guard De'Aaron Fox dropped a team-high 24 points during Saturday's win over the Suns, as he was one of six Kings to finish in double figures.

Marvin Bagley III Notches Second Straight Double-Double

Sacramento Kings power forward/center Marvin Bagley III went for 13 points and 11 rebounds during Saturday's win over the Suns, marking his second consecutive double-double to begin the year. Bagley was capped at just 21 minutes, which may work in his favor when the two teams play again Sunday, as he should be adequately rested. […]

Chris Paul Records First Double-Double With Phoenix

Phoenix Suns point guard Chris Paul rectified his inauspicious start with the franchise by notching a double-double in Game 2 during Saturday's loss to the Kings. Paul dropped 22 points on 8-for-19 shooting to go along with 12 assists, five rebounds and two steals, looking much more like the All-Star that Phoenix believes he can […]

Christian Wood Dominates En Route To Double-Double In Debut

Houston Rockets power forward/center Christian Wood received a massive payday in the offseason after a brief stretch of impressive play last year. If the opening game of the 2020-21 year is any indication, the Rockets have struck gold. Across 44 minutes in his first game with the team, Wood went for 31 points and 13 […]

C.J. McCollum Catches Fire From Field, Drops 44 Points In Win

Portland Trail Blazers shooting guard C.J. McCollum had everything working offensively during Saturday's victory over the Rockets, as he dropped 44 points on 17-for-30 shooting, knocking down nine triples in the process.

James Harden Posts Massive Double-Double In Season Opener

For all of the publicity surrounding Houston Rockets point/shooting guard James Harden entering his first game of the year Saturday, he more than backed it up from a statistical perspective in defeat. Harden tied his career high with 17 assists despite playing alongside a roster decimated by COVID-19 protocols, all while going for 44 points […]

Bradley Chubb Will Miss Sunday’s Game With Ankle Injury

Denver Broncos linebacker Bradley Chubb (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest versus the Chargers. The absence will be the first of the year for Chubb, who was named to the Pro Bowl after accumulating 42 combined tackles, 19 quarterback hits, 7.5 sacks, and a forced fumble in his first 14 games. Look for […]

Chase Edmonds Unable To Return To Saturday’s Game

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hip) was unable to make it back into Saturday's game versus San Francisco after departing early due to a hip issue. Prior to his first half departure, Edmonds hauled in two receptions for eight yards. Kenyan Drake became the full-time ball carrier for Arizona without Edmonds in the mix, […]

Cam Newton Set To Remain Starting QB For Week 16

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton is expected to be under center for Monday's game against Buffalo despite a recent rough stretch of play. With the Patriots eliminated from playoff contention, the fervor around Jarrett Stidham has reached a fever pitch in New England, but head coach Bill Belichick appears to be sticking with Newton […]

Mike Gesicki Gets Green Light To Suit Up Saturday

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) has been given the thumbs up to take the field for Saturday's contest versus Las Vegas. Without DeVante Parker (hamstring) in the mix, Gesicki should see increased usage near the red zone. Gesicki has turned into a consistent TE1 asset with Tua Tagovailoa under center, having compiled four […]

DeVante Parker Ruled Out, Jakeem Grant Sr. Will Play Saturday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) has been deemed inactive for Saturday's game against the Raiders, marking his second consecutive absence due to a hamstring ailment. While his presence on the sidelines will loom large, Jakeem Grant Sr. will rejoin the mix and give Tua Tagovailoa an added deep threat. Without Parker, Lynn Bowden […]

Atlanta Has No Timetable For Clint Capela’s Return

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela (Achilles) has not suited up for either of the team's first two contests of the 2020-21 year, leading head coach Lloyd Pierce to say that there was no timetable for when Capela could get back into the mix. If there is optimism around the issue, it's that it's the opposite […]

Theo Maledon Set For Debut Saturday, Ty Jerome Will Miss Game

Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Theo Maledon has been added to the team's roster for Saturday's game against Charlotte and is expected to make his NBA debut after having been taken in the second round of the 2020 NBA Draft. With the Thunder thin at the PG spot with Ty Jerome (ankle) once again out […]

Draymond Green Nears Return After Practicing Saturday

Golden State Warriors power forward Draymond Green (foot) was able to log a full practice session Saturday, moving him in the right direction of making his season debut Sunday against Chicago. Green's return would bump Eric Paschall from the starting five, zapping him of nearly all of his fantasy intrigue. While Green scuffled last season […]

Davis Bertans Remains On Minutes Restriction Saturday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Davis Bertans will once again see his minutes capped around the 18-20 mark during Saturday's game versus the Magic. Bertans was aggressive in his first game of the year, one in which he went 4-for-6 from behind the arc en route to a 14-point showing. The Wizards remain thin in the […]

Aaron Gordon Faces Continued Minutes Restriction Saturday

Orlando Magic small/power forward Aaron Gordon will remain near his 26-minute cap during Saturday's contest versus Washington. The limited minutes did not affect Gordon in the slightest during his first game of the year as he compiled 20 points, seven rebounds, and four steals in that span. While he is expected to get a bump […]

Darius Miller Joins Thunder Roster For Saturday’s Game

Oklahoma City Thunder small forward Darius Miller (Achilles) will be active and available for Saturday's contest against Charlotte. Miller has been unavailable since the conclusion of the 2018-19 year and figures to factor into bench plans for the Thunder, although how many minutes that he receives out of the gate remains to be seen. The […]

Kevin Love Suits Up Saturday, Faces Minutes Limit

Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love (calf) has been given the thumbs up to play Saturday versus Detroit, although his minutes will be monitored as the team eases him back into action. Love's return likely bumps Larry Nance Jr. down a peg in terms of fantasy relevance, with Nance rejoining the second unit and heading […]

Obi Toppin, Immanuel Quickley Ruled Out For Saturday’s Contest

New York Knicks small/power forward Obi Toppin (calf) and point guard Immanuel Quickley (hip) will miss Saturday's game versus the 76ers due to respective injuries. The loss of the rookies will dampen New York's depth, with each player's status for Sunday against Milwaukee currently up in the air. Toppin shot 3-for-7 from behind the three-point […]

Eagles Defense Without Derek Barnett, Josh Sweat In Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles defensive ends Derek Barnett (calf) and Josh Sweat (wrist) have both been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys. Barnett has been one of the most consistent commodities for the Eagles Defense this season, having compiled 34 total tackles to go along with 16 quarterback hits and 5.5 sacks. Sweat has been […]

Jordan Howard Joins Active Roster For Week 16

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard has been elevated from the team's practice squad in time to take the field Sunday versus the Cowboys. While it's a return back to the active roster for Howard, it may be a while before he returns to being a regular fantasy contributor. Miles Sanders is firmly entrenched as […]

Tyler Eifert Boasts Solid Punt-Play Potential In Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Tyler Eifert has held down a consistent role as a red-zone target in the team's offense of late, giving him some DFS appeal Sunday versus Chicago due to his low price tag. Eifert has made multiple catches in seven straight games and is the rare pass-catching member of the Jacksonville offense […]

Kenny Golladay Remains Sidelined For Saturday’s Game

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) will once again be kept out of action for Saturday's contest versus the Buccaneers. Golladay has not suited up since Week 8, but his practice sessions have been among the league's most closely monitored due to his immense upside when healthy. Marvin Jones Jr. should continue to reprise […]

Buccaneers Defense Takes Field Saturday Without Carlton Davis

Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Carlton Davis (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Lions, leaving an opening at the top corner spot for the Buccaneers Defense. Davis made a season-high nine tackles last week prior to his departure due to the groin ailment, but Ryan Smith is now expected to step into […]

Anthony Castonzo Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Indianapolis Colts left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee, ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Steelers, which is sure to change the way that the offense operates. It's likely that Quenton Nelson moves over again to protect quarterback Philip Rivers' blindside, although how reticent that will make head coach Frank Reich in dialing up […]

Matthew Stafford, Matt Prater Cleared For Saturday’s Contest

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (rib, thumb) and kicker Matt Prater (back) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers by virtue of their absence from the inactive list. Stafford has continued to play through myriad injuries, which makes him something of an unknown from a fantasy […]

Jacksonville Names Mike Glennon Starting QB For Week 16

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mike Glennon is returning to the starting gig for Week 16 against Chicago, taking over for Gardner Minshew II. Glennon re-enters the starting lineup in a difficult fantasy spot, one that is likely more fantasy relevant for fantasy managers with eyes on the Bears Defense. While Glennon looked solid in his first […]
