Curtis Samuel Activated From PUP List

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform List (PUP) on Sunday. Samuel returned to practice, which is good news after he's missed time because of a nagging groin injury and a stint on the COVID-19 list. The 25-year-old has had flashes of efficiency throughout his four […]

D'Andre Swift Continuing Rehab On Groin

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (groin) didn't suit up for Friday's preseason clash with the Buffalo Bills. Swift continues to deal with a groin issue, and although head coach Dan Campbell indicated he could have played if needed, the team will continue to take a conservative approach by rehabbing him. The 22-year-old was inconsistent […]

Sammy Watkins Stock Continues To Rise

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins continues to impress during training camp. With Rashod Bateman (core) and Marquise Brown (hamstring) dealing with injuries, the veteran has established himself as the primary wideout for signal-caller Lamar Jackson. Although it's no secret that the Ravens' offense is built around the run, Watkins could still get some downfield […]

Rashod Bateman Could Be Out Even Longer

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (core) had successful surgery on Friday. After the rookie left practice early during the week, head coach John Harbaugh initially reported that he would be back in September. However, considering the type of injury Bateman is dealing with, he may need up to eight weeks before he is ready […]

Derrius Guice Suspended Six Games

Free-agent running back Derrius Guice has been suspended for the first six games of the 2021-22 season. Guice was arrested in 2020 for a domestic violence incident. However, the charges were dismissed in June after he reached a settlement with his accuser. The former second-round pick appeared in only five games with the Washington Football […]

Sean McKeon Suffers Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys tight end Sean McKeon (ankle) left Friday's matchup against the Cardinals. The 22-year-old injured his right ankle, requiring assistance back to the locker room by the training staff, finishing the game by catching his only target of the night for eight yards. Nonetheless, the sophomore has reportedly been fantastic during training camp, so […]

John Harbaugh Mum On Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continues to practice after being activated from the COVID-19 list nearly a week ago. However, head coach John Harbaugh remains silent regarding the former MVP's availability for Saturday's preseason opener against New Orleans, only indicating that Jackson would play just a series if he suits up. After a historic 2019-20 […]

Austin Hooper To Be Move Involved This Season

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper will have a more prominent role in the offense moving ahead, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Whether or not that will happen remains to be seen, primarily with the return of Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) and competition with Jarvis Landry, Nick Chubb, Kareem Hunt, and David Njoku, among […]

Adbert Alzolay Dealing With Hamstring Issue

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Adbert Alzolay (hamstring) exited Friday's matchup against the Miami Marlins. The 26-year-old righty didn't last long, accruing just over one inning of work while allowing six runs on five hits before prematurely leaving because of left hamstring tightness. Nonetheless, it's unlikely anyone will miss him if he lands on the injured […]

Mike Muscala Signs New Deal With OKC

Forward Mike Muscala agreed to a two-year deal on Thursday to remain in Oklahoma City. The 30-year-old averaged 9.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and shot 37 percent from deep throughout 35 contests with the Thunder last season. Although he has had some productive outings over the years, he isn't consistent enough to be considered an effective […]

Kevin Love Likely To See A Reduced Role

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Kevin Love (calf) is expected to see less playing time this season. The 32-year-old, who is owed $60 million over the next few years, continues to deal with a nagging calf issue that plagued him for most of the 2020-21 campaign. Love is also reportedly out of shape, as evident by his […]

Zach Collins Contract Not Fully Guaranteed

San Antonio Spurs center Zach Collins recently signed a three-year, $22 million deal with the club. However, due to Collins' injury history, only a portion of the contract ($10.675 million) is guaranteed. The 23-year-old played sparingly throughout his four seasons in Portland because of a nagging foot issue, so there is plenty of risk associated […]

Cory Joseph Returning To Detroit

Free-agent guard Cory Joseph was re-signed by the Pistons on Thursday. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed, although it comes after the team recently waived him a few weeks ago. The veteran averaged 8.2 points, 3.4 assists, and 2.5 boards throughout 63 games with Sacramento and Detroit last season. However, with Killian Hayes […]

James Harden Extension In The Works

Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden could be nearing a contract extension. General manager Sean Marks is hoping a new deal will be complete before the start of the new year, with Kyrie Irving also on the radar to receive one as well. The latest update comes after Kevin Durant recently agreed four-year, $198 million extension […]

Kyrie Irving Could Be Next For An Extension

Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving could be next in line to score an extension, according to general manager Sean Marks. A new James Harden agreement is also being orchestrated, with the hope that both players receive new contracts before the start of the 2021-22 NBA campaign. The 29-year-old averaged 26.9 points, 6.0 assists, and 4.8 […]

Kawhi Leonard Agrees To New Deal With Clippers

Free-agent forward Kawhi Leonard (knee) agreed to a four-year, $176 million deal to remain in Los Angeles. Leonard recently opted out of a $36 million player option, so naturally, many would speculate where he would end up next. However, after tearing the ACL in his right knee during the postseason, requiring surgery, the Clippers managed […]

Rowdy Tellez Exits On Wednesday Night

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Rowdy Tellez (knee) exited Wednesday's matchup against the Cubs. Tellez didn't last long, leaving in just the third inning because of right knee discomfort. The 26-year-old has played well during his brief time with the club, sporting a .319 average, with 22 hits, 18 RBI, 10 runs, and five dingers throughout […]

Trevor Williams Getting The Nod For Game 2

New York Mets pitcher Trevor Williams will start Game 2 of Thursday's doubleheader against Washington. With Wednesday's contest getting postponed due to inclement weather, Marcus Stroman will now start Game 1, allowing Williams to get some work with the big club. The 29-year-old, who was recently acquired from the Chicago Cubs during the Javier Baez […]

Marcus Stroman Starting Game 1 On Thursday

New York Mets pitcher Marcus Stroman, who was originally supposed to start on Wednesday, will now be on the bump for Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against Washington. With the contest postponed due to inclement weather (rain), the 30-year-old will still get his chance at revenge against a Washington team that beat him up back […]

Thairo Estrada Called Up From Sacramento

San Francisco Giants infielder Thairo Estrada was promoted from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday. Estrada has appeared in 31 games for the big club this season, batting an acceptable .303, with 23 hits, 13 RBI, and 12 runs. With Evan Longoria (shoulder) nearing activation, his most recent tenure may be short-lived. However, he is worth a […]

Johnny Cueto Lands On The Injured List

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (forearm) landed on the injured list on Wednesday. While the veteran has had bouts of efficiency for fantasy managers throughout the year, his lack of consistency on the mound has been equally frustrating. The 35-year-old is currently sitting on an adequate 3.89 ERA and an acceptable 7-6 record […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Dealing A With Hand Injury

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (hand) was injured during Tuesday's practice. During drills, the 23-year-old suffered what appeared to be a minor hand injury, although he didn't participate much afterward. While the ailment doesn't seem significant, it is still worth monitoring moving ahead, primarily since he is on tap to be the […]

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. The 22-year-old finished his rookie season with 67 catches (108 targets) for 908 years and six touchdowns. 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. While the former Sooner is healthy and ready to go after a foot injury limited him to just six games in 2020, head coach Zac Taylor will play it safe by keeping him out. Although it […]

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. The sophomore signal-caller suffered a season-ending ACL injury in December, so his absence on Saturday isn't much of a surprise. Burrow played well during his 10 games in 2020 before going down, finishing with 2,688 passing […]

Ja’Marr Chase Struggling So Far

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase has struggled during training camp thus far. The fifth-overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has yet to find his footing, routinely failing to find separation on his routes. After not playing organized football since January 2020, the 21-year-old still has some growing pains to endure during his first […]

Jalen Hurd Possibly On The Bubble

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jalen Hurd (undisclosed) was observed on the sidelines during practice on Tuesday. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, the 2019 third-round pick "just didn't feel right" while also adding that there's "not much time left," possibly hinting at Hurd's potential for a roster spot. Some have labeled the 25-year-old as […]

Rashod Bateman Dealing With Groin Issue

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin) is in jeopardy of missing time, possibly even extending into the regular season. The first-round pick is considered week-to-week after suffering a groin injury during practice on Tuesday. Although it didn't appear serious when it happened, his diagnosis quickly went south in the ensuing hours, potentially leaving signal-caller […]

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. Although this isn't a revelation, primarily after head coach Kyle Shanahan has repeatedly reiterated that the 29-year-old is the No. 1 option on the depth chart, it doesn't mean much regarding […]

Myles Turner Moving In The Right Direction In Rehab

Indiana Pacers center Myles Turner (toe) reported that he's "doing great" while also adding that he is ramping up his activity level on the court. Turner suffered a partial tear of the plantar plate in his right great toe that cost him the final 18 games of the regular season. While the 25-year-old averaged 12.6 […]
