Joe Burrow Makes An Appearance On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow briefly made an appearance during the preseason finale against Miami Dolphins.

While […]

Brian Hill Lands On Injured Reserve

Tennessee Titans running back Brian Hill (undisclosed) landed on the injured reserve on Sunday. It's unknown why he currently occupies space on the IR. However, it's apparently significant enough to keep him on the shelf moving ahead. The 25-year-old played in 16 games last season as a member of the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with 465 […]

Irv Smith Jr. To Miss Time To Begin Season

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. (knee) is projected to miss time to begin the season. Smith recently had meniscus surgery, and it comes at a horrible time as he is expected to see an elevated role after the departure of Kyle Rudolph. The 23-year-old finished last season with only 30 catches for 365 […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Starting In Week 1 And Beyond

Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was officially named the starter for the Week 1 opener against the visiting Chargers. This isn't a surprise, although the announcement is undoubtedly comforting for fantasy managers, especially those in dynasty leagues or who have already drafted. Fitzpatrick will be playing for his ninth team during the 2021-22 campaign, […]

J.K. Dobbins Officially Done For The Year

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) is officially done for the season. The sophomore suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during the preseason finale against the Washington Football Team, and although team officials were hopeful, the bad news was confirmed on Sunday by an MRI. Last season, Dobbins was one of the […]

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk Set To Join Raptors

Free-agent guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk agreed to a two-year deal with the Raptors on Saturday, with one of them being a player option. The 24-year-old began the 2020-21 season in Oklahoma City before heading to Detroit, where he averaged 6.9 points, 2.1 boards, and 1.6 assists throughout 36 games in the Motor City. He isn't expected […]

Kevin Love Not Interested In A Buyout

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love isn't interested in a buyout from his current employer. The veteran is owed $60 million over the next two seasons, and since he isn't expected to see a prominent role during the 2021-22 campaign, a mutual agreement to part ways was seen as the only sensible approach. Love dealt with […]

Rajon Rondo Expected To Sign With Lakers

Free-agent guard Rajon Rondo is expected to sign with the Lakers on Monday. After being dealt by the Clippers to Memphis during the offseason, Rondo agreed to a buyout with the Grizzlies, so it appears he will be staying in Los Angeles after all. The veteran averaged 7.6 points and 5.8 assists last season throughout […]

Todd Gurley II May Draw Interest From Ravens

Free-agent running back Todd Gurley II could be a favorite to join the Ravens. With Baltimore potentially losing J.K. Dobbins (knee) for the season, the former Georgia Bulldog may be in the running to fill the void. After spending years as one of the most elite fantasy options available, knee issues derailed things. He finished […]

Devin Duvernay’s Stock Rising In Deeper Formats

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay finished with four catches (five targets) for 47 yards during the preseason win over the Washington Football Team on Saturday. With Rashod Bateman (groin) and Marquise Brown (hamstring) both dealing with injuries, the sophomore wideout could be in line for an enhanced role heading into the regular season. While […]

Nate McCrary Leads The Way On Saturday

Baltimore Ravens running back Nate McCrary led the team in rushing during the preseason victory over the Washington Football Team. The rookie got plenty of work and finished with 22 carries for 68 yards, although the injury to J.K. Dobbins (knee) was partially responsible for the additional touches. While McCrary is on the bubble for […]

T.Y. Hilton To Miss Time Due To Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (back, neck) is expected to miss time to begin the regular season. While it was assumed that the veteran would be out just a few weeks, at least initially, the return timetable became murkier after it was determined that he suffered an upper back and neck injury during practice […]

Dak Prescott “Good To Go” for Opener

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) is "good to go" for the Week 1 opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Jerry Jones. Prescott has been dealing with a strained shoulder for nearly a month now, and it came while he was working his way back from a season-ending ankle injury sustained during the […]

Courtland Sutton Scores Touchdown In Return

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (knee) made his unofficial 2021 debut on Saturday during the preseason victory over the Los Angeles Rams.

Damien Williams’ Fantasy Stock Increasing

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams continues to see his fantasy stock increase ahead of Week 1. With Tarik Cohen (knee) continuing to rehab after tearing his ACL early last season and in danger of missing even more time moving ahead, the 29-year-old could benefit by serving as the team's pass-catching option out of the […]

Tarik Cohen Still Without A Return Date

Chicago Bears running back Tarik Cohen (knee) remains on the PUP list and is in serious danger of missing the team's opener against the Los Angeles Rams in just a few weeks.

Ty’Son Williams Could Make Active Roster

Baltimore Ravens running back Ty'Son Williams may have done enough this preseason to secure a roster spot moving ahead. The sophomore finished the team's exhibition against the Washington Football team with 42 yards off four attempts while adding a catch for negative yardage. Williams has been impressive during his second year in the league, and […]

Gus Edwards Finishes With 27 Yards

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards got a few touches on Saturday during the preseason win over the Washington Football Team, finishing with two carries for 27 yards. While he wasn't anticipated to get much work in this one, things may change dramatically during the regular season, primarily if J.K. Dobbins (knee) misses time moving […]

Xavier Jones Suffers Ankle Injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Xavier Jones (ankle) was injured during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Denver Broncos. The sophomore hurt his left ankle and was observed being examined on the sidelines, although he could put weight on it, which was ultimately a good sign. Nonetheless, after Cam Akers (Achilles) was lost for the remainder […]

Giovani Bernard Likely To Have Noteworthy Role

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Giovani Bernard could serve as the team's third-down option this season. Although Ronald Jones II and Leonard Fournette should continue to split carries, Bernard may get some looks from Tom Brady out of the backfield, similar to how James White was utilized during the multi-time MVP's time in New England. […]

Tyler Huntley Finishes With Five Touchdowns

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Tyler Huntley helped guide the team to its 20th consecutive preseason victory on Saturday, an NFL record, finishing with five total touchdowns against the Washington Football Team.

Lamar Jackson Makes Preseason Debut

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson got his first taste of preseason action during the win over Washington on Saturday, finishing with 29 yards while connecting on three of his four passing attempts. Although the team set an NFL record with its 20th consecutive exhibition victory, the feat was overshadowed by the injury to J.K. Dobbins […]

J.K. Dobbins To Be Evaluated Further On Sunday

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) will undergo further testing on Sunday to determine the severity of the left knee injury he suffered during Sunday's preseason finale against the Washington Football Team.

Derrick Jones Jr. Traded To The Bulls

The Bulls landed forward Derrick Jones Jr. from the Trail Blazers on Friday.

This will be Jones' fourth team […]

Larry Nance Jr. Traded To Portland

The Trail Blazers acquired Larry Nance Jr. from the Cavaliers. The deal also includes the Bulls and Lauri Markkanen, who will head to Cleveland, and Derrick Jones Jr. moving to Chicago.

Lauri Markkanen Heading To Cleveland

The Cavaliers acquired forward Lauri Markkanen from the Bulls on Friday. The deal also involves the Portland Trail Blazers, and it will move Larry Nance Jr. to Rip City and Derrick Jones Jr. to The Windy City. As part of the agreement, Markkanen, a restricted free agent, will ink a four-year, $67 million contract as […]

Thomas Bryant Progressing Nicely Toward Return

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant (knee) starting dunking a few weeks ago. This is a step in the right direction, and it comes after the big man tore his ACL early during the 2020-21 campaign. Before going down with the injury, Bryant was averaging 14.3 points and 6.1 rebounds throughout 27 minutes. While he isn't […]

J.K. Dobbins Exits Preseason Contest On A Cart

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) prematurely exited Saturday's preseason finale against Washington. The sophomore injured his left knee during the opening drive of the contest, and after he wasn't able to stand, he subsequently was carted off the field to the locker room for an evaluation. Fantasy managers are certainly hoping for the […]

The 31-year-old has been an elite fantasy option throughout his nine seasons of service in […]

Will Barton Feeling Good

Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton (hamstring) is reportedly feeling good heading into the 2021-22 season, crediting his offseason fitness regimen. The veteran agreed to a $32 million deal a few weeks ago to keep him with the team for the next two years. When available, the 30-year-old veteran has been a relatively reliable fantasy option, […]
