Nyheim Hines Jumps On The Flex Radar

Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines will be the featured back for the upcoming matchup against the Denver Broncos on Thursday. Star back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is sidelined, so Hines will be asked to step up here. The expectation is that Phillip Lindsay and possibly Deon Jackson would see carries behind Hines. However, Hines remains […]

Matt Ryan Likely To Struggle Versus Broncos

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan is coming off his strongest game of the season in Week 4. He has thrown for over 350 passing yards in two of the first four games. He'll likely be asked to pass the ball often this week with star running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) sidelined. At first glance, Ryan […]

Gordon Hayward Doubtful For Wednesday's Preseason Game

Charlotte Hornets forward Gordon Hayward (knee) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's preseason matchup against the Indiana Pacers. He missed their first preseason game due to a concussion. Now, Hayward is dealing with a banged up knee that he injured during practice. He should be fine for the regular season, but who knows if he'll actually […]

Nikola Jokic Practices On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (wrist) was a full participant during Tuesday's practice, according to head coach Mike Malone. The superstar big man came out of Monday's preseason contest with a wrist injury. It doesn't sound like this is a serious injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned about Jokic missing time. The expectation is […]

Brandon Ingram Sitting During Tuesday's Exhibition

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This isn't a significant injury, but the Pelicans didn't want to risk it in a meaningless game. Trey Murphy should see additional run with Ingram on the sideline. At this point, it's hard to justify taking […]

Bulls Could Rotate Starting Point Guard Spot

The Chicago Bulls might not have a full-time starting point guard to begin the season. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned that he could rotate the starting guard spot while Lonzo Ball (knee) recovers. That means, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Goran Dragic could all be in the mix. Possibly, Alex Caruso gets some minutes at […]

Justice Hill Expected To Miss Time

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for an unknown amount of time, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. The team doesn't believe it's a serious injury, but they haven't given a timetable for his return. It's a hamstring injury and those do have a tendency to linger. Fantasy managers […]

Jake Elliott Has A Chance To Play In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (leg) has a chance of suiting up in Week 5, according to Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay. The team has praised Elliott's toughness and are optimistic that Elliott will be able to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the team has signed Cameron Dicker to the 53-man roster […]

Melvin Gordon III Viewed As Featured Back

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (neck) was limited during Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned as it sounds like Gordon will be fine for Thursday night football. Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Otten mentioned that the plan is for Gordon to be the featured back going forward. They plan on getting Mike […]

Keenan Allen Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is currently considered day-to-day after missing each of the last two weeks. It sounds like Allen was progressing well, but suffered a setback late last week which caused him to sit out in Week 4. The organization continues to be cautious with Allen, so fantasy managers won't […]

Cody Whitehair To Miss Significant Time

Chicago Bears guard Cody Whitehair (knee) is not believed to have suffered a season-ending injury, according to head coach Matt Eberflus. He exited in the second quarter of Sunday's game due to a knee issue. It's apparently a significant enough injury that Whitehair is going to miss multiple weeks. The organization is hopeful to get […]

Cairo Santos Returns To The Team

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (personal) missed the Week 4 matchup against the New York Giants. The 30-year-old was dealing with a personal matter and was away from the team for a week. Now, Santos has returned and should resume his role as the primary kicker in Chicago. Michael Badgley started in his place on […]

Phillip Lindsay Could Get More Involved

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay spent all the offseason with Indy before being a final cut during training camp. Now, Lindsay is back with the Colts and could start factoring into their gameplan. Head coach Frank Reich mentioned that Lindsay would begin getting into the equation, assuming Jonathan Taylor (ankle) is unable to play […]

Darryl Johnson Out Indefinitely

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Darryl Johnson (foot) is expected to miss significant time after suffering an injury in Week 4. The fourth-year pro suffered a legitimate foot injury during the win over the Detroit Lions. The former seventh rounder is out indefinitely, but this isn't a huge loss for the Seahawks. Johnson only played 19% […]

Evan Mobley To Miss A Few Weeks

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (ankle) is expected to miss the next week or two while he recovers from an injury. This means we probably won't see Mobley during the preseason. It's uncertain if Mobley will be ready for the season opener, but should be ready shortly after that. This minor injury shouldn't lower his […]

Franz Wagner Resting During Monday's Preseason Contest

Orlando Magic forward Franz Wagner (rest) won't suit up for Monday's preseason contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. Wagner played a ton during the Eurobasket tournament this summer, so the team will be cautious with him. They will allow Wagner to sit out this meaningless game. He should be fine going forward and is expected to […]

Karl-Anthony Towns Dealing With Significant Illness

Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns was recently released after he was required to stay in the hospital due to an illness. The 26-year-old wasn't cleared to walk until Saturday. Towns didn't give many details on the situation, but appears to be doing better now. The expectation is that Towns will be ready for opening night. […]

Daniel Bard Notches 33rd Save

Colorado Rockies relief pitcher Daniel Bard was asked to throw multiple innings during Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Bard was fantastic as he struck out six batters while allowing two hits in the win. This notched his 33rd save of the season, which is quite impressive for the 37-year-old reliever. The Rockies aren't […]

Evan Longoria Will Undergo Testing

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hand) is set to undergo X-rays following Sunday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The veteran infielder was hit by the ball in the hand while in the field. He wasn't removed from the game, but he likely would've been taken out if his spot in the batting order […]

Shea Langeliers Blasts Two Homers

Oakland Athletics catcher Shea Langeliers had himself a nice day at the plate during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. The 24-year-old hasn't been too hot with the bat this season, but put together a nice outing here. Langeliers blasted two home runs in what ended up being a 10-0 blowout victory over the Mariners. […]

Blake Snell Tosses Six Strong Innings

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Blake Snell looked strong on the mound during Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The left-hander went six innings, allowing three hits, and struck out six batters. Despite his success, Snell was saddled with the tough-luck 2-1 loss on Sunday. He'll finish his regular season with a 3.38 ERA, […]

Kenley Jansen Collects 40th Save

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Kenley Jansen slammed the door on the New York Mets for the third game in a row. The 35-year-old needed only seven pitches to retire all of the Mets hitters in the ninth inning during Sunday's game. His save counts as his 40th on the season in 47 attempts, which is […]

Dansby Swanson Hits Homer For Third Straight Game

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson continued his hot stretch at the plate during Sunday's game against the New York Mets. Swanson kicked off his game with a solo home run off right-hander Chris Bassitt in the opening frame. The 28-year-old finished 1-for-3 on the day with a walk. His power surge has helped the Braves […]

Trevor Megill Removed From Sunday's Game

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Trevor Megill (oblique) exited early during Sunday's game against the Detroit Tigers. The 28-year-old bounced a warmup pitch during the seventh inning. He was immediately lifted after that for precautionary reasons due to oblique tightness. Megill has a 4.80 ERA, 1.49 WHIP and 49/17 K/BB ratio across 45 innings this season. […]

Noah Fant Snags Touchdown

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant was coming off a four-catch performance last week, but was barely seen on Sunday. The 24-year-old hauled in one of his two targets for two yards and a touchdown in the Week 4 win over the Detroit Lions. The Seahawks have struggled to get Fant consistently involved in this […]

Will Dissly Catches Touchdown In Win

Seattle Seahawks tight end Will Dissly made the most of his chances during the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions. The 26-year-old hauled in all four of his targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in the win. He now has three touchdowns in four games, which is somewhat saving his fantasy value. Although, […]

Jonathan Taylor Injury Believed To Be Minor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) was believed to have possibly suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's contest. Luckily, the tests are coming back and the organization doesn't believe this is a long term issue. He could still miss time, but hopefully it won't be anything significant. He rushed 20 times for 42 yards […]

Landon Collins Visiting Giants

Free-agent safety Landon Collins is making a trip to visit the New York Giants on Monday. The 28-year-old has spent each of the last three seasons with Washington. Before that, Collins made three Pro Bowls and an All-Pro team as a member of the Giants. He finished with 81 tackles, three sacks, and two interceptions […]

Daniel Jones Is Considered Day-To-Day

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is currently considered day-to-day following an injury he suffered during the Week 4 win over the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old had his ankle wrapped, but never went into the locker room. Tyrod Taylor briefly came in before possibly suffering an injury himself. After that, Jones was forced back […]

Tom Brady Downplays Possible Injury

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady didn't miss a snap during Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Although, there was some concern about Brady's health following a play in the first half. The 45-year-old was strip-sacked and came up clutching his right arm. When asked about it Brady said that he'll be […]
