Desmond Ridder Has Low-End Streaming Value

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder is coming off his first 300-yard performance of his career. The second-year signal-caller was struggling coming into this contest, but hopefully this two-touchdown performance was a turning point for him. The Falcons are normally a run-heavy team, but threw the ball 37 times in Week 5. Ridder might be able […]

Zonovan Knight Done For The Season

Detroit Lions running back Zonovan Knight (shoulder) is reportedly going to be sidelined for the rest of the season. Knight suffered a season-ending shoulder injury during the Week 5 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Lions signed Knight in August as a depth option in their backfield. In two games, Knight rushed the ball three […]

Brandon Boston Jr. Participating In Drills

Los Angeles Clippers guard Brandon Boston Jr. (knee) was able to participate in some drills during Thursday's practice. It was originally reported that Boston won't practice, but head coach Ty Lue said that Boston will take part in some drills. This is good news as Boston continues to work his way back from a knee […]

Lonnie Walker IV Leaves Early On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Lonnie Walker IV (wrist) was forced to exit early during Thursday's preseason matchup against Maccabi. The young guard exited the game due to a left wrist contusion. Before leaving, Walker had 12 points, two assists, and one rebound during this contest. This is bad timing with fellow guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) […]

Bradley Beal Not Starting On Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (back) will remain on the bench ahead of Thursday's preseason contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. The superstar guard is available, but won't be in the starting five for this contest. Beal continues to deal with back tightness, so it wouldn't be shocking to see the Suns continue to hold […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Suffers Injury On Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Dennis Smith Jr. (ankle) suffered an injury during Thursday's exhibition game against Maccabi. The 24-year-old injured his left ankle and was unable to return to this contest. However, the Nets likely held him out of the rest of the game as a precaution. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, so it sounds […]

Josh Christopher Signs With Jazz

Free-agent guard Josh Christopher has signed a two-way deal with the Utah Jazz on Thursday. The former first-round pick spent his first two seasons in the league with the Houston Rockets. However, Christopher was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the Dillon Brooks trade over the summer. He was later waived by the […]

Braxton Berrios Gets In Full Practice Session

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Braxton Berrios (knee) was a full participant during Thursday's practice session. This is an upgrade after Berrios was limited during Wednesday's practice. Right now, it sounds like Berrios is on pace to suit up for the Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. This season, Berrios has hauled in 15 of […]

Rashaan Evans Signs With Cowboys

Free-agent linebacker Rashaan Evans has signed with the Dallas Cowboys practice squad on Thursday. The 27-year-old requested his release from the Philadelphia Eagles roughly a month ago. Evans left the Eagles practice squad in order to seek other opportunities elsewhere. A move to Dallas could be good for Evans with Leighton Vander Esch and Damone […]

Elijah Mitchell Gets In Limited Practice Session

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Mitchell has missed each of the last two games because of this knee issue, but is hopeful to play in Week 6. The fact he was able to suit up for a limited practice session is good news. Fantasy […]

Jamal Adams Removed From Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (concussion) was not listed on the team's official injury report on Thursday. This is great news as Adams hasn't played since leaving the Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants with a concussion. That Week 4 contest was his first game since Week 1, so staying healthy has been […]

Keaontay Ingram Remains Limited In Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram (neck) remained as a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. Ingram is looking to get back on the field this week after missing each of the last two games. Lead back James Conner (knee) is on the injured reserve, so Ingram could be the next man up in the […]

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Suffers Injury On Wednesday

Miami Heat forward Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) suffered an injury during Wednesday's practice. This is unfortunate news after Jaquez played well during the comeback victory over the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. The organization hasn't given an update on how long Jaquez is likely to be sidelined. The Heat will likely take the cautious approach right […]

Kai Jones Waived By Hornets

Charlotte Hornets center Kai Jones has been waived by the organization on Wednesday. This doesn't come as a surprise given recent events. Before training camp, it was announced that Jones was going to be away from the team for personal reasons. The Hornets decided to separate themselves from Jones after he called out his teammates […]

Anthony Davis To Rest On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (undisclosed) has been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition contest against the Sacramento Kings. The team hasn't disclosed why Davis is out, but it's assumed that he's sitting out for rest purposes. LeBron James and Austin Reaves are also sitting out without injuries, so it's assumed the Lakers are just […]

Jarred Vanderbilt Still Sidelined On Wednesday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) will remain on the sideline for Wednesday's exhibition game against the Sacramento Kings. Vanderbilt will miss his second game in a row as he continues to deal with a lingering heel issue. Hopefully this won't be an extended absence for Vanderbilt. He's competing with Rui Hachimura and Taurean […]

Keegan Murray To Miss Wednesday's Contest

Sacramento Kings forward Keegan Murray (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The young forward is dealing with right thumb soreness, so the Kings will take the cautious approach here. The injury isn't believed to be serious, but the Kings don't have any reason to risk an injury […]

Austin Slater Undergoes Surgery

San Francisco Giants outfielder Austin Slater (elbow) underwent scheduled surgery on his right elbow on Wednesday. The 30-year-old outfielder had surgery to remove a bone spur in his elbow. The hope is that the surgery will fix the lingering nerve discomfort Slater has been having in his right elbow. Slater will need roughly four months […]

Kendall Graveman Plays Catch On Wednesday

Houston Astros relief pitcher Kendall Graveman (shoulder) was able to play catch ahead of Wednesday's Game 4 against the Minnesota Twins. The right-hander was held off the roster for this series due to a lingering shoulder issue. It sounds like Graveman is making progress and will hopefully be available for the ALCS, assuming the Astros […]

James Outman To Sit Out Game 3

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder James Outman is not in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's Game 3 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Dodgers will opt to use Kike Hernandez in center field versus right-hander Brandon Pfaadt on Wednesday. Outman is 0-for-5 with three strikeouts over the first two games in this series. The Dodgers can't […]

Pablo Lopez Named Game 5 Starter

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Pablo Lopez has been named the starter for a potential Game 5 against the Houston Astros. No surprise here, but the Twins need to avoid elimination during Wednesday's game in order for there to be a Game 5. The 27-year-old threw seven shutout innings during the Game 2 victory over Houston. […]

Luka Doncic Limited On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) was limited to five minutes during Tuesday's scrimmage with Real Madrid in Spain. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned as Doncic's appearance was ceremonial. The superstar guard continues to deal with a minor calf injury, so the Mavs are going to play it safe with him. It wouldn't be […]

Shaedon Sharpe Has Team Option Picked Up

Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe will be around with the organization for at least two more seasons. As expected, the Blazers picked up Sharpe's third-year team option for the 2024-2025 season. This was a no-brainer for the Blazers as they get to keep their rising star on a cheap deal. Last season, Sharpe averaged […]

Jonathan Kuminga Suffers Minor Injury

Golden State Warriors forward Jonathan Kuminga (thumb) suffered a minor injury during practice on Tuesday. Kuminga jammed his thumb on the backboard and was withheld from the contact portion of practice after that. Afterwards, head coach Steve Kerr said Kuminga shouldn't be limited going forward. It sounds like Kuminga is likely to suit up for […]

Sasha Vezenkov Not Guaranteed Playing Time

Sacramento Kings forward Sasha Vezenkov could have problems finding consistent playing time this upcoming season. Kings' head coach Mike Brown said on Tuesday that he's unsure if Vezenkov will be part of the rotation during the regular season. The reigning Euroleague MVP opted to join the Kings this offseason. However, he could have trouble finding […]

James Bouknight Out At Least Four Weeks

Charlotte Hornets guard James Bouknight (knee) is set to undergo surgery after suffering an injury during practice last Thursday. The team announced on Tuesday that Bouknight will undergo arthroscopic surgery on Wednesday to address a meniscus injury in his left knee. The 23-year-old will be re-evaluated in four weeks, which means he'll miss the first […]

Robbie Grossman Heads To The Bench

Texas Rangers outfielder Robbie Grossman will remain on the bench for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Baltimore Orioles. This move makes sense considering Grossman is 2-for-14 with eight strikeouts so far during the postseason. In his absence, Mitch Garver will serve as the designated hitter and bat third versus right-hander Dean Kremer. Garver went 2-for-6 […]

Ryan Goins Retires From Baseball

Free-agent infielder Ryan Goins has announced his retirement from professional baseball on Tuesday. The 35-year-old hasn't played in the big leagues since the 2020 campaign. He completely sat out the 2023 season, but played in the minor leagues with the Atlanta Braves during the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. During his career, Goins slashed .228/.278/.333 with […]

Gunnar Henderson Moves To Leadoff Spot

Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson will shift up the batting order for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Texas Rangers. The O's will move Henderson to the leadoff spot and he'll play shortstop versus right-hander Nathan Eovaldi in Game 3. This moves makes sense after Henderson went 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk, and three […]

Kyle Gibson Available Out Of The Bullpen

Baltimore Orioles pitcher Kyle Gibson is reportedly available out of the bullpen for Tuesday's Game 3 against the Texas Rangers. Originally, it sounds like the plan was for the O's to start Gibson in Game 4. However, Baltimore is facing a win-or-go-home situation on Tuesday, so they will take an all-hands-on-deck approach for this contest. […]
