Tee Higgins Continues To Shine During Camp

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has been impressive during training camp. While Ja'Marr Chase continues to struggle in certain areas, Higgins has noticeably improved.

Although managers continue to gravitate toward Chase as the preferred fantasy option, Higgins […]

Joe Mixon Out On Saturday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) will not play during the preseason opener on Saturday against Tampa Bay.

Joe Burrow Out For Preseason Opener

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) has been ruled out for the preseason opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Some have labeled the 25-year-old as […]

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin) is in jeopardy of missing time, possibly even extending into the regular season.

Jimmy Garoppolo Still Listed As No. 1 Option

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is still listed as the team's starting signal-caller ahead of Saturday's exhibition matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Luka Doncic Signs Massive Extension

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic has agreed to a supermax contract extension, totaling a whopping $207 million.

Severino exited because of a right knee contusion and was replaced by Austin Wynns behind the dish in the fourth inning.

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (hip) is starting on Saturday night against the Angels, although he is scheduled for a routine day off on Sunday for the series finale.

Freddie Freeman Exits Early On Saturday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (illness) left Saturday's matchup against the Nationals. Freeman is currently dealing with an upper respiratory infection, and he didn't last long before being replaced by Ehire Adrianza.
