Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to build off a fantastic 2021-22 campaign with a matchup with Pittsburgh in Week 1. Mixon has had mixed success versus the Steelers over the years.

John Bates Expected To Play On Sunday

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates (calf) practiced fully throughout the week and is expected to suit up on Sunday against the Jaguars.

The 29-year-old has accumulated 3,184 yards and 16 touchdowns off 270 catches during his career. He played only 11 games last season due to injury. However, if Waller […]

Cam Sims Good To Go For Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Cam Sims (concussion) will play on Sunday against Jacksonville. The 26-year-old suffered a concussion during the preseason and spent some time in protocol. With that said, Sims isn't expected to play a substantial role in the offense this season and should remain behind Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson on the depth […]

Drew Sample Practices In Full On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample was a full participant during Friday's practice, so he should be ready for the AFC North showdown against Pittsburgh. The team didn't list why Sample was on the injury report. However, he did deal with a knee injury over the summer. Nevertheless, the 26-year-old remains behind Hayden Hurst on […]

Cole Turner Questionable Against Jags

Washington Commanders tight end Cole Turner (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's opener against the Jaguars. The rookie has looked good this summer, so there is potential for a more prominent role throughout the season. He has practiced in a limited fashion during the week. However, with Logan Thomas (knee) uncertain for Week 1, Turner could […]

Cade Otton Continues To Receive Praise

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton may carve out a bigger role for himself this season.

Azeez Ojulari Not Expected To Play In Season Opener

New York Giants linebacker Azeez Ojulari (calf) is not expected to play in Week 1 against the Titans. The 22-year-old is a game-time call. However, things aren't looking promising.

Kayvon Thibodeaux Doubtful Versus Tennessee

New York Giants defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux (knee) is a game-time call for the Week 1 opener versus the Titans. However, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the rookie isn't expected to play.

Kyren Williams Out Six To Eight Weeks

Los Angeles Rams running back Kyren Williams (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain during the season opener against the Buffalo Bills. As a result, he underwent surgery on Friday and will be out for six to eight weeks. The rookie played only one snap in Week 1, so fantasy managers never really saw him in action. […]

Velus Jones Jr. Doubtful For Week 1

Chicago Bears wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring) isn't expected to play on Sunday during the season opener against the visiting 49ers. The rookie hasn't practiced all week because of a hamstring issue, so his official debut may not happen until Week 2, although that's up in the air as well. Nevertheless, with the team […]

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will begin the year with an AFC North showdown against the Steelers. The 25-year-old played relatively well in his two meetings versus Pittsburgh last season, accumulating 362 yards and four touchdowns (two picks) while completing 81% of his throws. With a mid-summer appendectomy behind him, he'll have Ja'Marr Chase, Tee […]

Malcolm Hill Returning To Chicago

Free-agent guard Malcolm Hill agreed to a two-way contract with the Bulls. The 26-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16 games in Chicago last season. Obviously, those numbers won't make him a coveted fantasy option heading into the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's still worth a stash in dynasty leagues, at least for now.

Knicks Interested In Bojan Bogdanovic

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic is reportedly on the Knicks' radar. Although New York wasn't successful in acquiring Donovan Mitchell, the team would still undoubtedly bolster things on the offensive end by adding Bogdanovic.

The 30-year-old has played his entire career in Dallas (five seasons) and has averaged 7.1 points and 4.8 rebounds while shooting 35.9% from deep. With the Mavs acquiring Christian Wood during the offseason, Kleber may not be a consistent starter in […]

Kendrick Nunn Given Green Light For More Contact

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kendrick Nunn (knee) was cleared to increase contact at practice moving ahead. He missed all of last season with a bone bruise. However, head coach Darvin Ham is pleased with Nunn's progress, indicating he's looked "great." The 27-year-old has averaged 15.0 points, 3.0 assists, and 2.9 rebounds throughout his two seasons […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Sprains Ankle At EuroBasket

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (ankle) exited the EuroBasket matchup against Estonia. The multi-time MVP tweaked his ankle, forcing him to exit the game in the third quarter.

Grimes averaged 6.0 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 assists while shooting 38.1% from deep in […]

Blazers Ink Devontae Cacok To Exhibit 10 Deal

Free-agent forward Devontae Cacok signed an Exhibit 10 deal with the Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old has suited up for the Lakers and Spurs during his three-year career and has averaged 2.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 36 games. With the team recently waiving Norvel Pelle and signing Olivier Sarr, Cacok will have some competition for […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo Dealing With Knee Discomfort

Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) didn't play during Monday's EuroBasket contest against Great Britain due to knee discomfort. However, according to Greece head coach Dimitris Itoudis, it's "nothing major." Fortunately, the 27-year-old will play on Tuesday. Nevertheless, routine rest isn't anything new for Antetokounmpo, so fantasy managers shouldn't lose any sleep. With that said, […]

Nevertheless, Smart […]

Mavericks Interested In Dennis Schroder?

The Mavericks are reportedly interested in signing free-agent guard Dennis Schroder. Dallas has room on its roster and is looking to add a veteran ball-handler. Schroder would certainly fill that need while bolstering the Mavs' bench in the process. The 28-year-old began the 2021-22 campaign in Boston before he was traded to Houston ahead of […]

Celtics Potentially Adding Carmelo Anthony

The Celtics are rumored to be interested in signing free-agent forward Carmelo Anthony. The veteran suited up for the Los Angeles Lakers last season, finishing the year by averaging 13.3 points, 4.2 assists and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 37.5% from deep in 69 games.
