Logan Thomas Likely To Return By Week 2

Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) was activated off the PUP list early last week. He has done a fantastic job of working his way back from a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in December. There is some hope that Thomas could get on the field for the season opener. However, it […]

Kadarius Toney Doesn't Play During Preseason Finale

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (knee/hamstring) sat out during their preseason finale on Sunday. Surprisingly, Toney dressed and warmed up, but didn't see the field at all. Head coach Brian Daboll mentioned that Toney wasn't ready to play, which makes it tough to know his status going into cut day. Last season, Toney […]

Mac Jones Could Struggle In Second Season

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been fairly mediocre throughout the preseason. To be fair, the Patriots as an entire offense have looked rough during their three preseason games. There's still time to work out the issues, but Jones might not be the player they thought he was. Chad Graff of The Athletic believes […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Likely To Have Extended Role

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could be in for a heavier workload this season. Fellow running back Ty Montgomery (ankle) went down during the preseason finale on Friday. The organization has been vague about Montgomery, so it's uncertain how much time he'll miss. That being said, Stevenson could end up as the primary […]

Ozzie Albies To Begin Rehab Assignment Soon

Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment this week. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since June due to a broken foot.

Javier Baez Pulled Early On Sunday

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez (back) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Texas Rangers. Manager A.J. Hinch mentioned he removed Baez in the seventh inning due to back spasms. It sounds like he was taken out of the contest for precautionary reasons. It's also worth noting that this is a lingering […]

Corbin Carroll Expected To Be Recalled

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll is expected to be recalled prior to Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The 22-year-old is well deserving of a promotion after the season he has put together. Carroll is hitting .307/.425/.611 with 24 homers, 62 RBI and 31 stolen bases in Triple-A Reno this season. The assumption is that […]

Evan Longoria Considered Day-To-Day

San Francisco Giants third baseman Evan Longoria (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Twins. The 36-year-old was pulled out of the contest due to left hamstring tightness. It sounds like the organization took him out of the game as a precautionary measure. The veteran slugger could very well miss […]

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Josh Hader put together his worst outing to date on Sunday against the Kansas City Royals. The left-hander was already struggling, but completely unraveled here.

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) was able to get back on the practice field on Sunday. It appears that Mitchell is back to being healthy after dealing with a lingering hamstring issue. He was force to miss all three of the preseason contests, but that shouldn't be a concern to fantasy managers. […]

Deebo Samuel Misses Sunday's Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (knee) sat out of practice on Sunday. The stud wideout is reportedly dealing with a minor knee contusion. He only played 10 snaps during their preseason finale against the Houston Texans. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned with the regular season two weeks away. Samuel has plenty of […]

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers was unable to do any running during a workout on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay. He has been sidelined a few weeks due to an undisclosed soft-tissue injury. The organizations doesn't consider this a serious injury, so fantasy managers shouldn't be too concerned. Although, it's uncertain […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Runs At Full Speed

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. was able to run at full speed on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay.

T.J. Watt Leaves Early During Preseason Finale

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (shoulder) was pulled out of Sunday's preseason finale. He caught a 38-yard pass, but landed awkwardly on his shoulder. He was able to exit the game and head to the locker room under his own power. This quick exit shouldn't be too alarming to fantasy managers. The Steelers are […]

Mookie Betts To Rest On Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts won't be in the lineup for Monday's contest. Manager Dave Roberts mentioned following Sunday's game that Betts will sit out on Monday. This is odd timing considering that Betts has been on fire at the plate recently. The 29-year-old has four home runs over his last three games. Fantasy […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Remains Out Of The Lineup

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals. The organization had Acuna sit out Saturday as well, so clearly they want him to get some extra rest. It doesn't sound like the 24-year-old is dealing with an injury. Robbie Grossman will cover […]

Justin Verlander Removed From Sunday's Start

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander (calf) was removed early during Sunday's start against the Baltimore Orioles. The veteran right-hander was removed due to right calf discomfort. It sounds like Verlander was removed as a precaution, so it doesn't sound like this is something that will sideline him. The 39-year-old has been fantastic this season, […]

Tyler O'Neill To Sit Out On Sunday

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Tyler O'Neill is out of the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves. This appears to be a regular rest day for the 27-year-old outfielder.

Kyle Finnegan Notches Eighth Save

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Kyle Finnegan was called upon to protect a one-run lead against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday. The right-hander needed only 10 pitches to record his eighth save in 12 attempts this season. At this point, Finnegan appears to be the primary closer for Washington. The 30-year-old isn't a great fantasy option, […]

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. is being viewed as a possible breakout player heading into next season. The 24-year-old hauled in 88 receptions for over 1,000 receiving yards in 17 games with the Colts in 2021. The expectation is that he'll continue to be a focal point of this offense. During the preseason […]

Dezmon Patmon Finishes Preseason On Strong Note

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Dezmon Patmon has been one of the better surprises for this team during training camp. The former sixth-round pick went over 100 receiving yards during their last game. On Saturday, Patmon hauled in all three of his targets for 50 yards in the win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 24-year-old […]

Phillip Lindsay Rushes Seven Times In Preseason Finale

Indianapolis Colts running back Phillip Lindsay saw a fairly significant workload during Saturday's preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Obviously, the touchdown is nice to […]

Ian Happ Provides All The Offense

Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ collected the only two hits of the day for this offense. It was a tough day for all of the Cubs hitters against right-hander Freddy Peralta. Luckily for the Cubs, Peralta was lifted from the game after six no-hit innings. After that, Happ immediately stepped up and drilled a two-run […]

Freddy Peralta Tosses Six No-Hit Innings

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta looked fantastic during Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs.

Unfortunately, Peralta was pulled from the game and right-hander […]

Boston Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story (wrist) is expected to return from the injured list on Saturday. That means, the right-hander slugger should be activated prior to Saturday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. The 29-year-old is working his way back from a fractured wrist. He appears ready to return, which is good news for […]

Cade Cavalli Has Horrendous Debut

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Cade Cavalli made his anticipated debut against the Cincinnati Reds on Friday. The right-hander was crushed for seven runs in 4 1/3 innings in the loss. He did strike out six batters, but also walked two and hit three batters. It was his first game, so hopefully it's only up from […]

Jose Leclerc Earns Second Save

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Jose Leclerc was able to escape with his second save of the season on Friday. The right-hander came in with a three-run lead, but that quickly changed.
