Fantasy football rest-of-season rankings at every position, with strength of schedule. Best matchups for Weeks 9-14 at QB, RB, WR and TE.
Halftime around the league: the favorites are in a fight.
Rams (-4.5) trail Washington 10-6.
Lions (-6.5) lead Miami just 6-3.
Broncos (-3) lead Carolina 10-7 late in the half. The Panthers are within a field goal.
Halftime check on Play A Day #4: LaPorta has 1 catch for 11 yards on 1 target. He needs 33 more after the break to clear 43.5. Lions lead Miami 6-3.
Record so far: 3-0.
Play A Day #4: Sam LaPorta over 43.5 receiving yards at Miami, Sunday 1:00 PM ET. We're 3-0 after Lawrence, Luka and Tennessee (34-6, covered -5.5 by 22.5).
THE SQUEAKY WHEEL. LaPorta is in the final year of his rookie deal and wants to be paid. On Oct. 7 he said extension talks with Detroit are at a stalemate, and on Oct. 21 he said he'd "go get paid somewhere else" without a deal. He has put his body on the line for this team: he had back surgery last November for a herniated disc and missed the last eight games of 2025. He is back with 367 yards in seven games, 8th among tight ends. I expect Detroit to get him the ball.
THE FIT. Drew Petzing is Detroit's new offensive coordinator. His Cardinals offense gave Trey McBride 126 catches for 1,239 yards last year. Detroit now passes more than any team in the NFL, on 55% of its plays, and scores 29.0 points a game.
THE SPOT. Miami has allowed 69.1 receiving yards a game to tight ends, 5th most in the NFL, with 47 catches on 53 targets and 6 touchdowns. To all receivers it allows 8.8 yards a target, the most in the league. Miami is better against the run per carry (3.81, 8th best), so Detroit should keep throwing.
THE NUMBER. LaPorta is over 43.5 in 5 of 7 games: 48, 52, 44, 84, 88, 18, 33. The last two were his quietest, 12% of Detroit's targets against 18% for the season. RotoBot projects 49.9 yards on 6.0 targets, 6.4 over the line.

Play A Day #2: Luka Dončić OVER 34.5 points (-122). It's an NBA Cup game, and as a Laker he's scored 35+ in 5 of 6 of them: 36.3 points in 39.3 minutes. 1-0 after Lawrence under 29.5 attempts.

Play A Day #2: Luka Dončić OVER 34.5 points, FanDuel -122. We're 1-0 after Lawrence under 29.5 attempts (26).
IT'S A CUP GAME. Portland at the Lakers is NBA Cup group play, and Cup games have been Luka games. In 6 Cup games as a Laker he's averaged 36.3 points and scored 35+ in 5 of them (44, 24, 43, 35, 35, 37). Every other Laker game: 33.8 points, 35+ in 31 of 66 (47%). The reason is minutes: 39.3 in Cup games vs 35.4 in the rest, and he's played at least 37 in all six. More minutes means more free throws too, 11.7 a game vs 10.0. He opened this Cup run with 37 at Golden State on 10/30. Across the league, high-usage stars get about a minute more in Cup games than usual; Luka gets almost four.
USAGE. He has a 39.3% usage rate this season, the most of 140 forwards, and plays 35.7 minutes a night. He's taking 23.5 shots, 13.6 threes and 10.5 free throws a game. Last season it was 22.8 shots, 10.8 threes and 10.1 free throws at 37% usage. That's nearly three more threes a night, and 9.4 of his 38.5 points a game come from the line alone.
HOW HE HAS PLAYED. 35+ in 6 of 8 games and 5 in a row: 41, 37, 45, 42, 40. In the 7 games he played 35+ minutes he cleared 35 in 6. The two misses: 28 in 29 minutes in the opener (Lakers up big, he sat the fourth) and 23 on 8-of-21 shooting with 11 turnovers.
THE OFFENSE. Through 9 games the Lakers are first in the league in offensive rating (120.9), second in points (121.8) and fourth in free throw attempts (30.1). With Luka in the lineup they average 124.1 points and a 122.8 offensive rating. The one game he missed (10/28 at the Clippers, second night of a back-to-back) they scored 103 at a 105.1 rating. One game, but it fits.
THE SPOT. Lakers -3.5, total 231.5. In his 4 games decided by fewer than 10 he averaged 40.2 points in 36.9 minutes. Close games keep him on the floor. He scored 41 on Portland on 10/27 in 37 minutes. Portland is without Morant, Sharpe and Krejčí.

Tonight: SA -15.5, BOS -8.5, DAL -7.5, ATL -7.5.
CASHED. Lawrence UNDER 29.5 pass attempts: 26.
The whole bet was one question: do the Jags lead at the half? They led 17-3 and never gave it back.
Lawrence: 16/26, 242 yards, 1 TD. Jags ran 56 plays, 30 of them runs.
That's 6 for 6 this season on the under when Jacksonville leads at halftime (23, 29, 29, 23, 14, 26). The 2 games they trailed at the half: 39 and 41.
