Connelly Early Likely to Start Potential Game 3

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Connelly Early is the most likely candidate to start a potential Game 3 of the Wild Card round against the New York Yankees. The Red Sox don't have a ton of viable options right now after Lucas Giolito (elbow) went down. Garrett Crochet is starting Tuesday's game and Brayan Bello […]

Andrew Kittredge Named Game 2 Opener

Chicago Cubs relief pitcher Andrew Kittredge has been named the opener for Game 2 of the wild-card series against the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. Clearly, the Cubs don't have much faith in their starting rotation right now. Shota Imanaga was expected to start, but now might come in to piggyback off Kittredge. It's worth […]

Austin Hays Returning for Game 1

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Austin Hays (back) is returning to the starting lineup ahead of Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Before this, Hays was held out of the final seven games of the regular season due to back spasms. It doesn't appear the issue was ever serious enough […]

Enrique Hernandez Playing in Game 1 of Wild-Card Series

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Enrique Hernandez is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round. It looks like Hernandez is going to get plenty of chances in this series. The Dodgers have decided not to include Michael Conforto on the roster for this series. That being said, Hernandez and Andy […]

Max Muncy Playing in Game 1

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Max Muncy (lower body) is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's Game 1 of the Wild Card round against the Cincinnati Reds. As expected, Muncy is ready to go for the postseason after missing the final four games of the regular season. It doesn't sound like he was dealing with […]

Lamar Jackson Questionable to Return with Hamstring Injury

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is currently questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson exited the contest late in the third quarter due to a hamstring issue. Cooper Rush has replaced him on the field to begin the final quarter of play. Given the current score, the Ravens are […]

Jalen Carter Aggravates Shoulder Injury

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulder) appears to have picked up an injury during Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carter reportedly aggravated his shoulder injury during Sunday's victory. He did briefly exit the game in the fourth quarter, but he finished out the contest. The assumption is that Carter will undergo further […]

Ricky Pearsall Questionable to Return with Knee Injury

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. After hauling in a pass in the third quarter, Pearsall exited to the sideline with a right knee injury. It's worth noting that Pearsall came into this game with a nagging knee injury. Possibly, […]

Josh Allen Scores Three Times in Week 4 Win Over Saints

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen didn't have a huge day in terms of passing yardage, but was able to get the job done. Allen completed 16-of-22 passing attempts for 209 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also added 45 yards on seven rushing attempts with an additional touchdown on the ground. This was […]

Bucky Irving Totals 165 Yards in Loss to Eagles

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving was all over the field during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Irving rushed the ball 15 times for 63 yards, which gives him three straight games with 60 rushing yards or more. His biggest contribution came as a receiver this weekend. Irving hauled in five receptions for […]

Woody Marks Breaks Out, Scores Twice in Win

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks had a huge game versus the Tennessee Titans in Week 4. Marks has been watching his role increase each week, but got a huge opportunity this weekend. The rookie back rushed 17 times for 69 yards and a touchdown on the ground. He wasn't finished there as he […]

Kaleb Johnson Could See a Larger Role

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson could see more involvement in the offense during Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. Lead back Jaylen Warren (knee) has been ruled out for this game. That being said, Kenneth Gainwell, Johnson, and possibly Trey Sermon see bigger roles. Johnson has only seen two carries through the first three […]

Tyquan Thornton Could See Decreased Role

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton has scored a touchdown in back-to-back games heading into Week 4. He has been a nice surprise for fantasy managers early in the season, but could see decreased value going forward. The Chiefs are getting Xavier Worthy back for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Worthy hasn't played […]

Demarcus Robinson Could be Involved in Week 4

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is back in the mix after serving a three-game suspension. Robinson has reportedly looked good in practice and could be involved right away. The 49ers are banged up with Brandon Aiyuk (knee), George Kittle (hamstring), Jauan Jennings (ankle, shoulder), and Jacob Cowing (hamstring) all dealing with injuries. If […]

Kenneth Gainwell to See Increased Role

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell is expected to see an increased role during Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Steelers are going to be without lead back Jaylen Warren (knee) for this game. That being said, Gainwell figures to be the lead back for this game. He has mainly been the […]

Jaylen Warren Ruled Out for Week 4

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (knee) has been ruled out for the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Warren tested out his knee pregame and wasn't feeling good enough to give it a go. This absence is a troubling situation for the Steelers who don't have a viable backup right now. Kenneth Gainwell […]

Jake Meyers Heads to 10-Day Injured List

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday. Meyers was scratched from Friday's contest due to right calf soreness. He wasn't feeling any better on Saturday, so the team has decided to place him on the shelf. Meyers would be eligible to return to action if the Astros […]

Tyler Glasnow to Throw Shortened Start on Saturday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow won't make a full length start during Saturday's outing against the Seattle Mariners. The Dodgers have already clinched a playoff berth, so they aren't going to push Glasnow too hard in a fairly meaningless game. He's expected to throw 3-to-5 innings depending on his pitch count. After that, […]

Chris Paddack Named Sunday's Starter

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Chris Paddack will take the mound for Sunday's game against the Boston Red Sox. After clinching a playoff berth, the Tigers have decided to rest ace starting pitcher Tarik Skubal. The Tigers will save him for the playoffs and let Paddack pitch in the regular-season finale. Paddack has been awful with […]

Sean Manaea to Start on Sunday

New York Mets starting pitcher Sean Manaea will take the mound for Sunday's game against the Miami Marlins. The Mets will hand the ball to Manaea in the important regular-season finale. They'll need to lean on their left-hander who has struggled in September. In five outings this month, Manaea holds a 7.64 ERA and a […]

Ramon Laureano Lands on 10-Day Injured List

San Diego Padres outfielder Ramon Laureano (finger) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Saturday, retroactive to Sept. 25. Laureano suffered a fractured finger during Wednesday's contest. As a result, Laureano will head to the shelf and will miss the upcoming Wild Card series against the Chicago Cubs. He'll finish his regular season with […]

Shemar Stewart Ruled Out for Week 4

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Stewart is set to miss his second game in a row due to an ankle issue. The 2025 first-round pick has been quiet early in the season as he has played only 66 percent […]

Graham Gano Heads to Injured Reserve

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Gano suffered a groin injury during last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As a result, Gano will miss at least the next four games. Jude McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. McAtamney appears to be […]

Josh Reynolds Cleared for Week 4

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Reynolds (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's Week 4 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Reynolds is ready to return to action after missing each of the last two games due to a hamstring issue. The 30-year-old hauled in two of his three targets for […]

Darren Waller to Make Season Debut on Monday

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation for Monday's Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets. Finally, Waller is ready to make his season debut after missing the first three games due to a hip issue. This marks the first time that Waller has played in a game since […]

Tyreek Hill Ready to Go for Week 4

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's Week 4 contest against the New York Jets. Hill was absent from Saturday's practice due to personal reasons, but that won't hold him out of Monday's game. Through three games, Hill has 15 receptions for 198 yards and one touchdown, which […]

Tony Pollard has Flex Appeal for Week 4

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard was able to find the end zone for the first time this season during last week's game against the Indianapolis Colts. Pollard rushed the ball 16 times for 45 yards with one touchdown in the loss. It hasn't been a great start to the season for Pollard, but he […]

Cameron Ward a Shaky Option for Week 4

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Cameron Ward (ankle, calf) is ready to go after getting in back-to-back full practice sessions. Ward was limited to begin the week due to multiple minor injuries, but is fine for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. It has been a slow start for the No. 1 overall pick. Ward has […]

J.J. McCarthy Could Practice Next Week

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unsurprisingly, McCarthy won't play this weekend as he's expected to miss another week or two. However, head coach Kevin O'Connell mentioned McCarthy could get in limited work ahead of next week's contest versus the Cleveland […]

Noah Fant Misses Friday's Practice

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Noah Fant (concussion) was unable to practice on Friday. This marks back-to-back days that Fant has been unable to take the practice field. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried yet. The Bengals do get an extra day this week with their Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos coming on Monday […]
