Fantasy Impact: Making Sense Of Monday's Flurry Of NBA Trades

The NBA allowed trading to begin on Monday, and by the end of the night, the Milwaukee Bucks had reshaped their entire team, while the Rockets looked poised to begin a long rebuild. With the NBA draft and the start of free agency on the horizon, let's try to make sense of what all of […]

James Harden Trade Rumors Swirl

Former MVP guard James Harden's future with the Houston Rockets looks increasingly in doubt. Harden reportedly turned down a contract extension from the team and has made it clear to management that he wants to play for the Brooklyn Nets. Nothing is imminent and Harden being under contract still for multiple seasons means Houston's hand […]

Robert Covington Traded To Portland

The Houston Rockets may be starting a rebuild, as they traded forward Robert Covington to the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday for Trevor Ariza and a pair of first-round picks. Covington is one of the NBA's best three-and-D players and projects to immediately move into the starting lineup for Portland, where he'll provide strong numbers […]

Eric Bledsoe, George Hill Shipped To New Orleans

The Milwaukee Bucks have traded guards Eric Bledsoe and George Hill to the New Orleans Pelicans for Jrue Holiday. Bledsoe had been starting at point guard for the Bucks, but is likely to slot in as the two beside Lonzo Ball in New Orleans, something that could impact his value. However, if that move is […]

Jrue Holiday Traded To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks made a huge splash addition on Monday, trading for guard Jrue Holiday of the New Orleans Pelicans. New Orleans gets Eric Bledsoe, George Hill, and three future first-round picks in the deal. The upgrade from Bledsoe to Holiday should do wonders for the Bucks when it comes to competing on both ends […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Traded To Milwaukee

The Milwaukee Bucks are going all in. On Monday, they acquired forward/guard Bogdan Bogdanovic from the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Donte Divincenzo, Ersan Ilyasova, and D.J. Wilson. Bogdanovic will likely slot in as the starter at the two this season in a revamped Bucks lineup that will also now feature Jrue Holiday. Bogdanovic's counting […]

Ricky Rubio Traded To Thunder

The Phoenix Suns and Oklahoma City Thunder have completed a trade that sends guard Ricky Rubio to the Thunder as part of a package deal that also sends guard Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns. Rubio averaged 13.8 points, 8.8 assists and 4.7 rebounds per game last season in Phoenix, but he's likely to share playmaking […]

Kelly Oubre Jr. Heading To OKC

Phoenix Suns forward Kelly Oubre Jr. has been dealt to the Oklahoma City Thunder as part of a package that sends Chris Paul to the Suns. Oubre averaged a career-high 18.7 points per game last season along with 6.4 rebounds while shooting 35.2 percent from three. He should maintain a sizable role on a Thunder […]

Chris Paul Traded To Phoenix

The Oklahoma City Thunder have traded Chris Paul to the Phoenix Suns in a deal that also sends Abdel Nader to Phoenix while sending Kelly Oubre Jr., Ricky Rubio, and other pieces back to OKC. Paul will form a potentially elite backcourt with Devin Booker in what should be a strong Phoenix offense. Paul may […]

Nets Trade For Bruce Brown Jr.

Detroit Pistons forward Bruce Brown Jr. has been traded to the Brooklyn Nets for Dzanan Musa and a 2021 second-round pick. Brown had some good moments with Detroit last year, starting 43 games and averaging 28.2 minutes per contest. He averaged 8.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game. It's really hard to know […]

Dzanan Musa Traded To Pistons

Brooklyn Nets forward Dzanan Musa has been traded to the Detroit Pistons along with a 2021 second-round pick in exchange for Bruce Brown Jr. On the surface, this seems like a losing deal for the Pistons, who pick up a promising player in Musa that has also struggled so far during his time in the […]

Tyler Ervin Ruled Out In Week 10

Green Bay Packers running back Tyler Ervin (ribs) has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ervin has been developing into a solid receiving threat for the Packers, though he hasn't yet reached the point where he holds much fantasy relevance. Green Bay will continue to heavily use Aaron Jones […]

Jerry Jeudy Active For Week 10

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (shoulder) is active on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Jeudy had been trending that direction, so no real surprise here. The rookie has been Drew Lock's deep threat lately and has been among the league leaders in air yards in recent weeks. Fantasy managers should be safe to […]

Matt Breida Inactive In Week 10

Miami Dolphins running back Matt Breida (hamstring) is officially inactive for Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. With Myles Gaskin (knee) also unavailable, it looks like we get another week of Jordan Howard as the lead back, with Patrick Laird and Salvon Ahmed mixed in. Howard has a good nose for the end zone […]

Kenyan Drake Active For Week 10

Arizona Cardinals running back Kenyan Drake (ankle) is active for his team's Week 10 meeting with the Buffalo Bills. Drake is likely to split carries with Chase Edmonds this week, so don't expect huge numbers from the veteran back, but he's a solid RB3 play in a pinch this week with upside against a Bills […]

Darius Slayton Returns To Game

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton exited in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a shoulder injury, but has returned to the game. It's possible that Slayton will be below 100 percent for the rest of this one, lowering his ceiling and potentially giving more opportunities to Sterling Shepard […]

Chris Thompson Questionable To Return In Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Chris Thompson exited Sunday's game against the Packers to be evaluated for a concussion. He was cleared to return, but is apparently still questionable to come back due to a back injury. Injuries have been the story of Thompson's career. If he doesn't return, expect to see more of James Robinson, […]

Dallas Goedert Cleared To Return To Game

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert briefly left the field to be evaluated for a concussion against the Giants in Week 10, but he has been cleared to return to the game. Already dealing with plenty of injuries, losing Goedert would have been a big issue for the Eagles. Keep an eye on him to […]

Texans/Browns In Weather Delay

The start of the Houston Texans and Cleveland Browns game has been delayed due to weather issues. The game should still be on track to start today, but with heavy wind gusts in Cleveland, passing games are likely to struggle once the game does kick off. Hopefully we're able to get kickoff soon.

NBA Trade Moratorium Will End At Noon Monday

It's almost trade season in the NBA. The league's moratorium on trades will be lifted at Noon EST on Monday, paving the way for a flurry of moves ahead of Wednesday's NBA Draft and Friday's opening to free agency. A busy week for the NBA is 24 hours away, and rumored deals like the Thunder […]

Golden Tate Active, Dante Pettis Inactive

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate is active for Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Considering Tate missed last game due to a team suspension, we aren't expecting a ton from him this week. He hasn't seen five targets since Week 5 and is a touchdown-dependent play this week. Recently acquired receiver Dante Pettis […]

Lakers Expected To Trade For Dennis Schroder

When the NBA lifts the trade moratorium on Monday, one of the first moves is expected to be a trade between the Los Angeles Lakers and Oklahoma City Thunder that would send guard Dennis Schroder to Los Angeles. The Thunder would get the 28th pick in this year's draft plus guard Danny Green. Schroder's fantasy […]

Dontrelle Inman Inactive, Dwayne Haskins Jr. Active

Washington Football Team wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (hamstring) will sit out again in Week 10. It's likely we see heavier doses of Cam Sims for the second week in a row, though Sims isn't a strong fantasy play even with an expanded role. It's possible Steven Sims Jr. also gets more snaps. Meanwhile, with quarterback […]

Bears Will Elevate Lamar Miller To Active Roster

Chicago Bears practice squad running back Lamar Miller is expected to be elevated to the active roster for Monday's meeting with the Vikings. With David Montgomery (concussion) out, the Bears are left with converted receiver Cordarrelle Patterson and the untested Ryan Nall at running back, so this move makes a lot of sense. Miller -- […]

Alshon Jeffery Officially Set For Season Debut

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (calf) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Giants and will play for the first time in 2020. It'll be interesting to see how Jeffery is used in this game, as he's arguably the most talented healthy receiver on this roster but also is returning from a long layoff. […]

Robert Tonyan Active For Week 10

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (ankle) will play in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tonyan has had a strong 2020 campaign even if his production has dropped off lately. He's a high-end TE2 play, but his ceiling is limited by the weather in Green Bay and how much this Packers team might […]

T.J. Hockenson Playing In Week 10

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (toe) is active for Sunday's contest against the Washington Football Team. A late addition to the injury report this week, it looks like Hockenson is a full go for this week's contest. The Football Team has struggled to contain opposing tight ends, allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game […]

Nick Chubb Active For Week 10

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (MCL sprain) is active for Sunday's meeting with the Texans. Houston possesses one of the NFL's worst run defenses and Chubb should get ample opportunities to provide high-end RB2 value on what's expected to be a windy day in Cleveland. While Kareem Hunt's presence hurts Chubb's value, this matchup […]

James Robinson In Line For Strong Week 10

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson should be in all the fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. The Pack are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs and Robinson has been a real bellcow back for this team lately, with over 20 carries and a touchdown in […]
