Desmond Ridder Holds QB2 Value

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder has posted back-to-back 300-plus yard performances. He'll look to keep that going against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. The yardage looks nice, but Ridder continues to have issues with his accuracy. He threw three interceptions last week, which obviously really hurt the team. Despite his turnover struggles, Ridder […]

Cole Beasley To Part Ways With Giants

New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley has asked the team for his release, according to Mike Garafolo. The organization and the veteran wideout have mutually agreed to go their own ways. This makes sense considering the 34-year-old hasn't suited up for the team yet this season. Beasley has been stuck on the practice squad […]

Jalen Nailor Limited In Practice

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. The young wideout recently came off the injure reserve, so it makes sense that they'd be careful with him. Nailor has been out since late September with a hamstring injury. It sounds like he has a chance at suiting up versus […]

Saquon Barkley Doesn't Want To Be Traded

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley claims that he doesn't want to be traded ahead of the October 31st trade deadline. The superstar back is a prime trade candidate given the Giants are currently sitting at 1-5. Also, Barkley is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Barkley […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Gets In Full Practice Session

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. This is great to see after Robinson was held out on Wednesday due to a knee issue. It appears his absence was more of a load management type of situation. That being said, Robinson should be fine for the […]

Saquon Barkley Remains Limited On Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Barkley missed three games due to a high-ankle sprain, but was able to get back on the field in Week 6. The Giants could be limiting Barkley's reps as a precaution, so fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about the […]

Pat Freiermuth Gets In Limited Practice Session

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This should be considered a downgrade after Freiermuth was a full participant on Wednesday. Fantasy managers shouldn't panic as this could just be the Steelers limiting his reps. The third-year tight end is hopeful to get back on the field this […]

Zach Charbonnet Sits Out Again

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet (hamstring) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back practice sessions that Charbonnet has missed due to a hamstring issue. The 22-year-old appears to be in real danger of sitting out the Week 7 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. His absence would likely mean an increased workload […]

Tyler Lockett Limited Again On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried as it appears the Seahawks are likely trying to manage Lockett's reps. The 31-year-old should be fine for the Week 7 matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals, assuming he doesn't suffer a setback. It's worth noting fellow […]

DK Metcalf Remains Sidelined On Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs, hip) remained on the sideline for Thursday's practice. The Seahawks have been careful with Metcalf throughout most of the season. Despite that, Metcalf has yet to miss a game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried. However, Metcalf picked up another injury last week, so possibly the Seahawks […]

Devin Booker, Bradley Beal Sitting Out On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (rest) and Bradley Beal (back) have been ruled out for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers. This appears to be a routine rest day for Booker as the Suns don't want to risk anything this close to the regular season. Beal continues to deal with a back issue, […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Unavailable On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Phoenix Suns. Vanderbilt has been dealing with a lingering heel issue throughout the preseason. It's a shame because he entered training camp in competition for the starting power forward spot. The expectation is that Rui Hachimura and Taurean Prince […]

Bones Hyland Starts On Thursday

Los Angeles Clippers guard Bones Hyland will move into the starting five for Thursday's preseason game against the Denver Nuggets. It appears head coach Ty Lue is going to rest a majority of his starters during this game. Ivica Zubac is the lone starter remaining in the lineup on Thursday and he's unlikely to play […]

Ish Wainright Waived By Suns

Phoenix Suns forward Ish Wainright has been waived by the organization on Thursday. The Suns are cutting down their roster with the regular season quickly approaching. Right now, the Suns have 18 players, so they will still need to make one more move. Wainright has appeared in 105 games over the last two seasons with […]

Khris Middleton Expected To Play In Preseason Finale

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (knee) is expected to suit up for Friday's preseason finale versus the Memphis Grizzlies.

Haywood Highsmith To Miss At Least Two Weeks

Miami Heat forward Haywood Highsmith (knee) is expected to miss some time after suffering an injury during Wednesday's preseason contest. Highsmith has been diagnosed with a sprained left MCL. The Heat plan to hold him Highsmith and re-evaluate him in two weeks. This comes at a bad time with Josh Richardson (foot) and Jaime Jaquez […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Unavailable Versus Bulls

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) won't suit up for Thursday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. Fantasy managers shouldn't panic as the T-Wolves aren't going to run any risks in an exhibition game. It sounds like Towns is dealing with a minor right knee issue. That being said, Towns should be fine heading into […]

Cade Cunningham To Play On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham (quad) will suit up for Thursday's preseason contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Cunningham hasn't played since the first preseason game due to left quad tendinitis. Luckily, it sounds like that issue is behind him, so Cunningham should be ready for Opening Night. The hope is that Cunningham will take […]

Cameron Johnson Hopeful To Practice On Saturday

Brooklyn Nets guard Cameron Johnson (hamstring) is hopeful to get back to practice on Saturday, according to head coach Jacque Vaughn. Johnson has missed all of the preseason due to a lingering hamstring issue. Hopefully, this isn't too serious of an issue and the Nets are just being cautious in exhibition games. It's possible that […]

Cavs Exercise Fourth-Year Option On Evan Mobley

Cleveland Cavaliers center Evan Mobley is expected to remain with the organization for a little longer. The organization has exercised Mobley's fourth-year option on Wednesday. This comes as no surprise considering Mobley has transformed into a star for this team. The Cavs selected Mobley with the No. 3 overall pick in 2021 and it has […]

Brandin Podziemski Not Starting On Wednesday

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski will head to the bench for Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Sacramento Kings.

The 23-year-old will get a chance with the starting unit with Draymond Green (ankle) and Kevon Looney (ankle) both sidelined. The expectation is that Jackson-Davis will play around 30 minutes in this contest. The Warriors […]

Josh Richardson Doesn't Return On Wednesday

Miami Heat guard Josh Richardson (foot) was forced to exit early during Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. It appears Richardson aggravated the foot issue that has been bothering him during the preseason. The expectation is that the Heat will have Richardson undergo further testing to determine the severity of the issue. Dru Smith […]

Kevon Looney Dealing With An Illness

Golden State Warriors center Kevon Looney (illness) was sent home early during Wednesday's shootaround because he was feeling under the weather. It was originally noted that Looney was sitting out of Wednesday's game for rest purposes, but that doesn't appear to be the case. Instead, Looney is dealing with illness, but it looks to be […]

Kristaps Porzingis Plays Well On Tuesday

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis looked sharp on both ends of the floor during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the New York Knicks. The big man finished with 20 points on 8-of-13 shooting, while collecting eight rebounds and two blocks in the win. The hope is that a change of scenery will help Porzingis turn around […]

Robert Covington To Come Off The Bench

Los Angeles Clippers forward Robert Covington will come off the bench during Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Denver Nuggets. The Clippers will shake it up and move Nicolas Batum into the starting unit for this exhibition matchup. The expectation was that Covington would be the starting power forward on Opening Night. However, that could change […]

Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic Out On Tuesday
