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. […]

Sidy Cissoko To Begin Season In G-League

San Antonio Spurs guard Sidy Cissoko is expected to spend a majority of his time this upcoming season in the G-League. Cissoko played for the G League Ignite last season and impressed enough to get drafted by the Spurs with the No. 44 pick in this year's draft. The 19-year-old has plenty of potential, but […]

Cody Martin Won't Play On Tuesday

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (knee) won't travel with the team for their upcoming exhibition game against the Miami Heat on Tuesday. This is concerning after Martin was limited to seven games last season due to a left knee issue. It appears the issue is still bothering him and there isn't a timetable for his […]

Michael Porter Jr. Unlikely To Play On Tuesday

Denver Nuggets forward Michael Porter Jr. (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Tuesday's exhibition game against the Phoenix Suns. Porter tweaked his ankle during a practice earlier this month. Since then, the Nuggets have been extremely cautious with Porter. The expectation is that Justin Holiday will likely see more playing time with Porter probably […]

Kai Jones Requests Trade From Hornets

Charlotte Hornets center Kai Jones has requested a trade from the organization on Monday. The 22-year-old has been away from the team recently due to personal reasons. Jones has put himself in a bad spot after calling out teammates on social media and missing workouts. It sounds like the Hornets are trying to separate themselves […]

Jonnu Smith Continues To Have Success

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith has turned into a viable fantasy option over the last few weeks. On Sunday, Smith hauled in six of his seven targets for 70 yards in the win over the Houston Texans. The Falcons continue to favor their tight ends as Smith and Kyle Pitts combined for 13 receptions […]

Drake London Hauls In Six Receptions

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London surprisingly saw a high usage during Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans. The second-year wideout hauled in six of his nine targets for 78 yards in the win. This was a nice outing for London who made a couple of tough catches late in the fourth quarter. […]

Kyle Pitts Targeted 11 Times In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was able to put together a bounce back performance during the Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans. Pitts appeared to be the focal point of this offense during this game. He hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 87 yards in the win over the Texans. Hopefully, […]

Bijan Robinson Catches Touchdown In Win

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson had a frustrating day on the ground during Sunday's Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans. The rookie back rushed 14 times for 46 yards, while adding two receptions for 12 yards and a touchdown in the win. Robinson was the clear No. 1 back, but he struggled to […]

Desmond Ridder Throws For Over 300 Yards

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Desmond Ridder was able to put together a strong outing versus the Houston Texans in Week 5. The second-year signal-caller completed 28-of-37 passing attempts for 329 yards with one touchdown and zero interceptions in the win over Houston. Ridder also added 10 yards on four rushing attempts with another score on the […]

Ben Skowronek Practices On Thursday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Ben Skowronek (Achilles) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. This is good news after Skowronek was limited during Wednesday's session. The 26-year-old suffered an Achilles injury in Week 3, but played in Week 4. The third-year wideout has only been targeted four times through the first four games this […]

Zack Martin Gets In Full Practice Session

Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Zack Martin (thigh) was a full participant during Thursday's practice. It's good to see Martin back on the field after he sat out of Wednesday's session. Head coach Mike McCarthy said his absence on Wednesday was largely due to rest purposes. The six-time All-Pro should be back on the field for […]

Falcons Defense Avoidable For Week 5

The Atlanta Falcons defense has surprisingly held their own early in the season. They've allowed less than 20 points in half their games this season. The biggest problem for this defense has been the fact they've been unable to create turnovers. They only created one turnover in two of their last three games. This defensive […]

Younghoe Koo Hopeful To Bounce Back In Week 5

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is looking to bounce back after a quiet day in Week 4. Koo didn't attempt a field goal and made his only extra point attempt in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Koo has been a reliable option, but the lack of opportunities is hurting his fantasy value. […]

Jauan Jennings Limited On Thursday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings (shin) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. It's good to see Jennings back on the practice field after he missed practice all week before sitting out in Week 4. Fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee, ribs) was also limited on Thursday as well. The absence of these […]

Roschon Johnson Won't Return On Thursday

Chicago Bears running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's Week 5 matchup against the Washington Commanders. Johnson went down in the second quarter and won't return after suffering a concussion. Before going down, Johnson rushed the ball three times for 19 yards. His absence will mean increased carries […]

Jaire Alexander Practices On Thursday

Green Bay Packers defensive back Jaire Alexander (back) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. The All-Pro corner has missed each of the last two games due to a back issue. He was a limited participant last week as well before he sat out of last Thursday's game against the Detroit Lions. The hope is […]

Jeremy Reaves, Christian Holmes Ruled Out

Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves (knee) and defensive back Christian Holmes (hamstring) have been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Bears. Both players were forced to exit during the first half of this Week 5 matchup. It sounds like the Commanders are going to play it safe and have both players sit out […]

Ayo Dosunmu Could Become Starter

Chicago Bulls guard Ayo Dosunmu recently signed a three-year deal with the organization. The former second-round pick is expected to be in the mix for the starting point guard spot. The expectation is that Dosunmu will compete with Jevon Carter and Coby White for the starting gig ahead of the season opener on October 25th. […]

Quentin Grimes Looking To Improve Offensively

New York Knicks guard Quentin Grimes is hopeful to improve on the offensive end of the ball this season. The 23-year-old is entering his third season and has a desire to increase his responsibilities on offense. Grimes has a reputation of being a 3-and-D player, but wants to be able to contribute more than that. […]

Ausar Thompson Could Be Day 1 Starter

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Ausar Thompson appears to have already impressed the team. The Pistons used the No. 5 selection in this year's draft to select Thompson, so they have high expectations for him. There's a chance that Thompson is a Day 1 starter in the Pistons rotation. His defense is impressive and the Pistons could […]

Christian Braun Expected To Play Bigger Role

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun could see himself with a bigger role on the team next season. It sounds like the organization believes Braun could be a critical piece to this rotation. The team praised his defensive toughness and fundamentals during the postseason. The 22-year-old is expected to have more minutes coming his way with […]

Jonnu Smith Could Have Streaming Value

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith has surprisingly been productive early in the season. He posted his best game of the season last week with six receptions for 95 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Smith has four receptions in each of his last three contests. He has been the most consistent receiving […]
