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.

Cole Turner Questionable Against Jags

Washington Commanders tight end Cole Turner (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's opener against the Jaguars.

Cade Otton Continues To Receive Praise

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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, 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 […]
