Robert Williams III Signs Extension With Celtics

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III agreed to a four-year contract extension with the team on Friday. The deal is for $54 million, and it comes after the 23-year-old had a breakout season in 2021, including averaging 9.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks throughout 13 games as a starter. Unfortunately, a toe ailment limited […]

Torrey Craig Signs With Indiana

Free-agent forward Torrey Craig agreed to a deal with the Pacers. The 30-year-old has played with three different teams throughout his four seasons in the league, most recently averaging 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds throughout 32 games with Phoenix last season. Nonetheless, it's probable he won't possess consistent fantasy value this year. However, there may […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones’ Stock Rising

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones has had an impressive offseason, so much so that he's likely landed the No. 3 job on the depth chart, surpassing Rashard Higgins. While Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry are ahead of the 22-year-old, he has a good chance of increasing his fantasy output beyond what he produced […]

N’Keal Harry Out Four Weeks

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) is expected to miss four weeks. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the Week 1 matchup against the Miami Dolphins, it's evident that the timeframe will keep him on the shelf until the Week 3 contest against the Saints. Nonetheless, the show must go on, […]

Jordan Love Out For Preseason Matchup

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) will not play on Saturday against the visiting Jets. Love has been dealing with a shoulder issue after taking a hit during the team's last exhibition matchup against the Houston Texans. Although an MRI showed no structural damage, there is still a good chance he won't see the […]

Kurt Benkert Starting On Saturday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert will start during Saturday's exhibition against the Jets. With Aaron Rodgers and Jordan Love (shoulder) both sitting out, the team will turn to Benkert, who will start his first preseason game in nearly three seasons. The 26-year-old was released by the Falcons back in February after signing with Atlanta […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Still Not Considered The Starter

Washington Football Team quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick is the favorite to claim the starting role, at least to begin the 2021 campaign. However, nothing has been confirmed yet, with head coach Ron Rivera remaining vague on the topic. Nonetheless, the journeyman is still expected to be under center come Week 1, although Taylor Heinicke has remained […]

Brandon Allen Leads Bengals’ Passers On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen finished with 70 yards on 8-for-17 passing during the 17-13 exhibition loss to the Washington Football Team on Friday. The third-year signal-caller will likely secure his spot as Joe Burrow's backup during the 2021 campaign, although that really doesn't do much for his fantasy stock unless there's an injury. He […]

Tyler Boyd Makes “Love” List

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd recently landed on ESPN fantasy guru Matthew Berry's list of players he "loves" heading into the upcoming campaign. While many managers have soured on Boyd, primarily with the additions of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins over the last few years, it's hard to dismiss a player who had back-to-back […]

Tee Higgins Makes An Appearance On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins saw the field sparingly during the preseason loss to Washington. The 22-year-old had one catch on Friday evening, turning into an 11-yard gain. Although this showing was a small sample size, it only adds to his impressive offseason thus far. Higgins has reportedly been a training camp standout, routinely […]

Darrel Williams Possibly Dealing With Concussion

Kansas City Chiefs running back Darrel Williams (concussion) suffered a head injury during Friday's preseason clash against the Arizona Cardinals. The team's backfield took a beating in this one, with Clyde Edwards-Helaire also succumbing to a sprained ankle. Williams is expected to serve as the No. 2 option on the depth chart behind CEH this […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Sprains Ankle

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle) was injured during Friday's preseason bout against the Arizona Cardinals. The sophomore didn't last long before suffering a sprained ankle, although fortunately, he avoided anything more serious. Selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the former LSU Tiger appeared in 13 games during his […]

Joe Mixon Gets Some Action On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon got some work on Friday night during the preseason loss to the Washington Football Team. Although the former Oklahoma Sooner didn't do much, racking up only four yards on two attempts while pulling in a catch for eight yards, it was still a welcome sight, especially after he missed […]

Ja’Marr Chase Struggles During Preseason Play

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase struggled during the preseason loss to Washington. The rookie was targeted three times on Friday night, dropping all of them. After getting off to a slow start during training camp, the No. 5 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft didn't do much to increase his fantasy stock. Nonetheless, […]

Larry Fitzgerald Doesn’t Have The Urge To Return

Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald hasn't ruled out retirement, at least in an official capacity. However, the veteran also didn't appear too enthusiastic about a potential return, recently commenting during an interview on Sirius XM that he doesn't "have the urge to play right now." Nonetheless, even if he does come back for his 18th season, […]

Courtland Sutton Wants To Play In One Preseason Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (knee) would like to see some action during the preseason. "We're still talking about it, figuring which one we want to do, but definitely going to play in one of them," commented Sutton when asked about the possibility of playing in at least one exhibition before Week 1 begins […]

Jameis Winston To Start Against Jaguars

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston will get the start during Monday's preseason matchup against the Jaguars. Winston and fellow signal-caller, Taysom Hill, continue to battle for the coveted No. 1 spot on the depth chart. However, it appears neither man has done enough to make head coach Sean Payton's decision any easier heading into […]

Trevor Lawrence To Split Reps

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence will continue to split first-team reps with Gardner Minshew III. Although the rookie is projected by many to start Week 1 against the Houston Texans, it appears there is a chance he may not. Fantasy managers who have already drafted should be somewhat concerned, especially those who waited until later […]

Jordan Love Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) may not play during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Jets. Love took a hit during the team's latest exhibition encounter against the Houston Texans, forcing his premature exit before the end of the first half. Fortunately, an MRI came back clean, showing no structural damage, although he won't […]

Tony Gonsolin Throws Pen Session Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (shoulder) threw about 25 pitches on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been out for a few weeks with right shoulder soreness, so at least he is moving in the right direction. Skipper Dave Roberts was pleased with the outcome of the recent session, reporting that all of Gonsolin's throws […]

Clayton Kershaw Plays Catch Again On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (forearm) played catch again on Thursday. This was his third-straight day throwing, doing so from 90-feet away, which is yet another step in the right direction for the southpaw. Kershaw has been working his way back from forearm inflammation since going down at the beginning of July. However, […]

Francisco Lindor May Return During Upcoming Homestand

New York Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor (oblique) could return on Tuesday. Skipper Luis Rojas indicated that while a rehab assignment is still a possibility, Lindor could be back as early as the team's upcoming homestand against the San Francisco Giants. Since mid-July, the 27-year-old has been out because of a Grade 2 oblique strain, so […]

James McCann Not Starting On Thursday

New York Mets catcher James McCann (back) isn't starting on Thursday against the Dodgers, although there is a slight chance he could be available in some capacity, according to manager Luis Rojas. McCann continues to deal with back spasms, and while the team is hoping he avoids a trip to the injured list, it remains […]

D’Andre Swift Expected To Practice Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) is expected to return to practice on Thursday. The sophomore has been dealing with a nagging groin ailment and has missed some critical reps during training camp thus far. Swift had a productive 2020 inaugural campaign, finishing with 10 total touchdowns throughout 13 games. Nonetheless, while it is […]

James Robinson Making Moves Toward Starting Job

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson appears to have a firm grasp on the starting gig, at least for now. After a prolific rookie campaign, Robinson's stock was higher than ever, but after the team selected Travis Etienne Jr. in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, it appeared as if he might lose […]

Carson Wentz Anxious To Return Sooner

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) is anxious to return to the field. According to head coach Frank Reich, the oft-injured signal-caller is getting "very antsy" to pick up the pace during his rehab efforts. The 28-year-old was originally slated to miss a few games during the regular season after undergoing foot surgery. However, it […]

Robby Anderson Doesn’t Practice On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson (hamstring) didn't practice on Wednesday. According to head coach Matt Rhule, Anderson is dealing with a hamstring issue, although he didn't reveal much more about the situation. While it's unlikely that the 28-year-old won't be ready for the Week 1 matchup against the New York Jets, it's something for […]

Jordan Love Throws On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love (shoulder) remains in danger of missing Saturday's preseason matchup against the Jets. The 22-year-old took a hit to the shoulder during the team's last exhibition against the Houston Texans, forcing him to exit before the end of the fire first half. He was throwing on Wednesday, which is good […]

Joel Embiid Signs Four-Year Extension

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid agreed to a four-year, $196 million supermax contract extension on Tuesday. The deal will keep the big man in Philly at least through the 2026-27 campaign, and it comes after he averaged 28.5 points, 10.6 boards, and 1.4 blocks while shooting nearly 38 percent from deep last season. The 27-year-old […]

Jarrett Culver Heading To Memphis

The Timberwolves sent Jarrett Culver to Memphis in exchange for Patrick Beverley, who was recently acquired from the Los Angeles Clippers just a few days ago. Juan Hernangomez was also included in the deal, freeing up money while adding to the team's young group of players. Culver, a sixth-overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, […]
