[DFS NHL OPTIMAL LINEUPS: JANUARY 21] Brett Talley 2 hours ago Brett Talley goes through all of the data and provides you with his FanDuel and DraftKings cash game lineups for tonight's DFS NHL slate. [$--] [J.C. Tretter] [J.C. Tretter (knee) had surgery Tuesday] Tretter originally injured his knee in Week 8 against Atlanta, but aggravated the injury during his recovery. The Packers have not yet decided to place him on IR, in which case they might activate a WR off the practice squad with Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams injured as well. Tretter really doesn't have any chance of playing on Sunday, but news on him is worth following in the event that they do put him on IR.

He will be sidelined for six to eight weeks, but assuming he heals without any setbacks, he should be ready to participate in the Washington off-season activities. Analysis: Ivar G.

Multiple foot surgeries in such a short period of time are never a good sign but the Bills brass appears to believe that he'll be ready for training camp. With that being said, training camp is a long ways off so we'll just have to wait and see how Watkins recovers from the procedure. The former Clemson wideout caught just 28 passes for 430 yards and two scores this season and has played just 21 games over the past two years for Buffalo. Analysis: Alex Gormley 1 day ago [Strikeout and Walk Rates Matter] You get a ton of numbers thrown at you when fantasy baseball experts are discussing players. Ray Flowers shows you why you should be paying close attention to strikeout and walk rates for hitters. 5 hours ago Ray Flowers [$31] [Jordy Nelson] [Jordy Nelson listed as questionable] Nelson suffered two fractured ribs on a borderline hit during the Packers Wild Card Weekend win over the Giants and is currently suffering from an illness as well but he's considered to be questionable for Sunday's game. At this point, it's tough to see how Nelson would play so quickly after fracturing two of his ribs but with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line, you never know if a guy will grit it out and play through the pain. If Nelson and Davante Adams are available to play for Green Bay, it would be a huge boost to the team's already prolific passing game. Analysis: Alex Gormley 1 day ago [NBA DFS Position Coach: January 21] Jerry Colvin goes position-by-position to break down the DFS slate for Saturday's NBA games. 6 hours ago Jerry Colvin [$24] [Davante Adams] [Davonte Adams listed as questionable] Adams suffered a sprained ankle during the Packers win over the Cowboys and he's been listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Falcons. With so much riding on this next game, it's hard to imagine that Adams would be held out unless the injury severely hampers his ability to cut and run effective routes. I'd expect Adams to be a game-time decision but it would be surprising if he didn't at least suit up and try to play on Sunday. Analysis: Alex Gormley 1 day ago [Overlooked Category Contributors] Jon Impemba discusses some of the more overlooked players in fantasy baseball drafts who can make strong category contributions to your squad this season. 6 hours ago Jonathan Impemba [$32] [Julio Jones] [Julio Jones limited in Friday's practice] Jones missed practice earlier in the week due to the toe injury and was limited in today's practice but it appears as though the team is content with him resting up a bit this week before the NFC Championship on Sunday. Jones spoke to the media earlier this week and said that the toe injury will not hamper him at all during the game against the Packers, which is a good sign. Sunday's game looks to have all the makings of a classic game, and it's great that the Falcons will have their number one weapon ready to rock and roll. Analysis: Alex Gormley 1 day ago [DFS NHL PLAYBOOK: JANUARY 21] Brett Talley goes through all of the statistics, splits and matchups to uncover the very best DFS NHL players for tonight's contests. 10 hours ago Brett Talley [$31] [Jordy Nelson] [Jordy Nelson will likely will be a game-day call] Given that it is the NFC Championship game I would assume Jordy will gut out the broken ribs that he is dealing with just to give the Falcons something else to game plan for on Sunday. Analysis: Jonathan Impemba 1 day ago [DFS NBA Playbook: January 21] Ted Schuster pours over all of the statistics, splits and matchups to uncover the very best DFS NBA players for today's contests 18 hours ago Ted Schuster [$32] [Julio Jones] [Julio Jones won't have any limitations Sunday] The Packers defense is not very good and Julio should have little trouble connecting with Matt Ryan for some big plays on Sunday. Analysis: Jonathan Impemba 1 day ago [DFS NBA Rankings : January 21] Ted Schuster breaks down all of the injuries, matchups and stats in order to provide you with the best players at every position for daily fantasy basketball. 18 hours ago Ted Schuster [$31] [Jordy Nelson] [Jordy Nelson (ribs) won't practice Friday] He practiced yesterday in limited form with no pads, but will be a full miss today. He is currently listed as questionable for the NFC Championship and it would be a huge loss to the Packers offense if he is unable to suit up for the game.
