Mike Evans - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans put together a solid performance in the season opener versus the Minnesota Vikings. The 30-year-old hauled in six of his 10 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the win. The Bucs don't have many reliable weapons in the passing game, so Evans and Chris Godwin are […]

Sean Tucker - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker received his first taste of NFL action during the Week 1 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The rookie back rushed five times for 15 yards, while hauling in two receptions for an additional nine yards. It seems that Tucker has worked his way into the No. 2 role […]

Rachaad White - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is coming off a lackluster performance during the season opener. The second-year back saw a team-high 17 rushing attempts, but was unable to do much with it. White finished with 38 rushing yards, while adding two receptions for an additional 10 yards. The assumption is that the Bucs […]

Baker Mayfield A Possible QB2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is coming off a fairly impressive showing during the season opener. The former No. 1 overall pick completed 21-of-34 passing attempts for 173 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Minnesota Vikings. He'll look to carry that momentum into his next contest versus the Chicago Bears in […]

Puka Nacua Misses Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (oblique) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice. This is not good news with the Rams already without Cooper Kupp (hamstring) for the next few games. Nacua went off for 10 receptions and 119 yards during the season opener. He was expected to continue having a significant […]

Rashaad Penny Active For Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny is active for Thursday's Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The 27-year-old was a healthy scratch for the season opener. However, the injury to Kenneth Gainwell (ribs) has opened a door for Penny to make an impact on the active roster. The assumption is that D'Andre Swift will […]

Marcus Davenport Set To Make Team Debut

Minnesota Vikings defensive end Marcus Davenport (ankle) is active ahead of Thursday's Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 27-year-old missed the season opener due to an ankle issue, but appears to be good now. Davenport was limited earlier in the week, but it doesn't sound like he'll be on a snap count during […]

Tyjae Spears Upgraded To Full During Thursday's Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears (groin) was limited on Wednesday, but appears to be headed in the right direction. The rookie back was upgraded to a full participant during Thursday's practice. That being said, it appears he should be ready to go in time for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. […]

Frank Clark To Miss Multiple Weeks

Denver Broncos defensive end Frank Clark (hip) is expected to miss several weeks, according to Ian Rapoport. The three-time Pro Bowler was a pass rushing specialist in Week 1, but only played 25 snaps. The team hasn't said whether or not they plan on placing Clark on the injured reserve. They didn't give much of […]

Free-agent forward Lamar Stevens is reportedly receiving interest from multiple organizations. The 26-year-old was waived by the San Antonio Spurs earlier in the summer. Since then, Stevens has remained a free agent, but is drawing interest from the Celtics, Timberwolves, Rockets, and Heat. He has spent each of his first three seasons with the Cleveland […]

He averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 assists, and 2.1 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per game across 32 games in the G-League last season.

Riley Greene To Seek Additional Opinions

Detroit Tigers outfielder Riley Greene (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list earlier this month. The 22-year-old remains without a timetable to return and could very well be done for the 2023 season. The left-handed slugger is reportedly seeking additional medical opinions on his inflamed elbow. It sounds like Greene wants more information on […]

Will Smith Gets A Rest Day

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Will Smith is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the San Diego Padres. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as this appears to be a planned rest day for Smith. The right-handed slugger went 2-for-3 with a three-run homer and a double during Tuesday's contest. In his absence, […]

Kenley Jansen Placed On COVID List

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Kenley Jansen (illness) has been placed on the COVID-19 list on Wednesday.

Texas Rangers outfielder Leody Taveras (undisclosed) has been scratched ahead of Wednesday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The 25-year-old has been pulled from the lineup due to undisclosed reasons. Before this, Taveras had played in 23 straight games, so maybe his absence is rest related. Regardless, Evan Carter will fill in at center field […]

DJ LeMahieu On The Bench Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. Fantasy managers don't need to be alarmed as this appears to be a routine rest day for the veteran infielder. LeMahieu sat out the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader as well. He's currently in the […]

Ronny Mauricio Out Of Wednesday's Lineup

New York Mets infielder Ronny Mauricio (illness) is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It appears the 22-year-old is under the weather, so he'll sit this game out. Luckily, this sounds like a minor issue, so hopefully Mauricio will only miss one game. In his absence, Jeff McNeil will […]

Adrian Houser To Return On Thursday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (elbow) is set to be activated from the 15-day injured list and start against the Miami Marlins on Thursday.

He appears ready […]

Giancarlo Stanton To Sit Out For Nightcap

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is out of the starting lineup for the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader versus the Boston Red Sox. The veteran slugger went 0-for-3 with a walk and two strikeouts during the first game of the day. After that, the Yankees decided to give me a breather and let […]

Jeimer Candelario Headed To Injured List

Chicago Cubs infielder Jeimer Candelario (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list on Tuesday.

Nick Madrigal is expected to see more playing time at […]

Brandon Drury To Sit Out On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels infielder Brandon Drury is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners. This doesn't appear to be injury related, so fantasy managers can assume his absence is for rest purposes. Drury has struggled lately, going 2-for-21 over his last five games. He'll get a chance to rest and […]

Shohei Ohtani Absent On Tuesday

Los Angeles Angels two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow, oblique) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

The assumption […]

Cameron Payne Waived By Spurs

San Antonio Spurs guard Cameron Payne has been waived by the team on Monday. The 29-year-old was traded from the Phoenix Suns to San Antonio in mid-July. The expectation was that Payne wasn't going to last long on the rebuilding Spurs roster. The Spurs would rather open up playing time for younger players such as […]

Heat Remain Favorites For Kelly Oubre Jr.

The Miami Heat are reportedly the favorites to sign free-agent forward Kelly Oubre Jr., according to Marc Stein. The 27-year-old remains unsigned with the basketball season quickly approaching. On paper, the Heat seem to be a great fit for Oubre, but it's not that simple. The Heat are also attempting to acquire superstar guard Damian […]

Free-agent center Tristan Thompson is signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers, according to Shams Charania. The big man spent his first nine seasons of his career as a member of the Cavs organization.
