Broncos Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 6

The Denver Broncos defense has played very well in four of their first five games. In fantasy, they're actually ranked 10th in the league in overall points heading into a Monday night matchup in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. They are tied for the fourth-fewest points allowed per game (16.0). But the Chargers […]

Brandon McManus Worth A Look As A Streamer Against Chargers

Based on the fact that the Denver Broncos face off against the Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 6 on Monday Night Football, kicker Brandon McManus is worth a peek as a low-end fantasy starting kicker. The Chargers defense has allowed the third-most points per game (27.2) through the first five games, and they'll still […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Well Off The Fantasy Radar

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam entered the 2022 season as an interesting low-cost TE2 with plenty of upside with quarterback Russell Wilson in town. It hasn't worked out for him at all through five games, however, and he's tied with fellow tight end Eric Saubert in receptions (seven). Saubert even has two more targets, […]

KJ Hamler Can't Be Trusted

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler enters his Week 6 matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night with a grand total of two catches for 65 yards on four targets in four games played. He came into the year as an intriguing speedy deep threat for a quarterback in Russell Wilson that […]

Jerry Jeudy Needs To Be More Efficient

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy leads the team with two receiving touchdowns this year, but he hasn't done a whole lot outside of his four-catch, 102-yard, one-touchdown performance in the season opener. Jeudy had three catches on eight targets for 53 yards in last week's overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts, and he hasn't […]

Courtland Sutton A Strong Play In Week 6

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton enters a Week 6 Monday night matchup with the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers as the Broncos' leader in receiving yards (417), catches (29) and targets (46). Sutton has seen double-digit targets in three of his five games to this point, and he ranks 10th among NFL receivers with his […]

Pat Freiermuth Limited Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (concussion) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 5 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The 23-year-old has already suffered multiple concussions in his two years in the […]

Diontae Johnson Puts In Full Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he began the week as a limited participant on Wednesday. Barring some sort of setback, fantasy managers should expect him to be active in Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett targeted Johnson a season-high 13 […]

Raheem Mostert Says He'll Play In Week 6

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) said his knee is fine and he will play in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings. Mostert was held out of practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday, putting him on track to play this weekend. Although the Dolphins haven't come out and said Mostert is their […]

Tyler Lockett Added To Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (hamstring) was added to the Week 6 injury report and was listed as limited in Thursday's practice, along with receivers Dee Eskridge (illness) and Dareke Young (quadriceps). Marquise Goodwin (back, knee) was a full participant for the second straight day. It's something to monitor, but Lockett's injury doesn't appear […]

Russell Wilson Improving "Every Day"

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson (shoulder), who was officially listed as limited on Thursday's practice report, is improving every day after suffering a muscle injury to his latissimus dorsi in his back near his right shoulder in the Week 4 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Wilson played in last Thursday's loss to the Indianapolis […]

N'Keal Harry A Healthy Scratch Thursday Night

Chicago Bears wide receiver N'Keal Harry was recently activated from Injured Reserve on Monday after he had surgery on his ankle in early August, but he's effectively a healthy scratch for Thursday night's contest against the Washington Commanders as the team eases him back into the fold. His next chance to make his team debut […]

Dyami Brown Officially Active Thursday Night

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown (groin) is officially active for the Thursday Night Football game against the Chicago Bears after he was listed as questionable coming into the game. Jahan Dotson (hamstring) and tight end Logan Thomas (calf) are both inactive again, giving Brown the opportunity for another big game. In the Week 5 […]

Eduard Bazardo Designated For Assignment

The Boston Red Sox designated relief pitcher Eduard Bazardo for assignment on Thursday and claimed right-hander Jake Reed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles in a corresponding move. Bazardo threw 16 1/3 innings for the Red Sox at the end of the season and had a 2.76 ERA (6.05 FIP), a 0.98 WHIP, 11 strikeouts […]

Jordan Lawlar Looking Good In Arizona Fall League

Arizona Diamondbacks shortstop prospect Jordan Lawlar hit a combined .303/.401/.509 with a .910 OPS, 16 home runs, 62 RBI, 98 runs scored and 39 stolen bases in four minor-league stops during the 2022 season, but he finished up his year hitting just .212 with four homers, 11 RBI and 28 strikeouts in 20 games with […]

Tyler Anderson Gets The Ball For Game 4 Of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander Tyler Anderson will start in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the division-rival San Diego Padres. The Dodgers went with left-handers in the first two games of the series but will break that up with righty Tony Gonsolin in Game 3 on Friday. Anderson had a […]

Tony Gonsolin Will Have Some Limitations

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said there will be some limitations on how deep right-hander Tony Gonsolin can go in Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Friday against the San Diego Padres, but he's built up to "upwards of 75 pitches." As a result, they won't necessarily have a "bulk" innings […]

Chris Olave Makes Progress Thursday

New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) took another step forward on Thursday in his recovery from a concussion that he suffered in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Olave took part in football activities during the open portion of practice. If he has no symptoms, the next step would be […]

Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry Still Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints wide receivers Michael Thomas (foot) and Jarvis Landry (ankle) were both held out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Thomas has missed the last two games, while Landry was inactive in the Week 5 win over the Seattle Seahawks. Both receivers will likely need to practice on […]

Justice Hill Back On The Practice Field

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after being sidelined on Wednesday. It will be Hill's first practice since getting injured in Week 4. He missed the Week 5 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 24-year-old has been efficient with his touches -- 19 carries for 125 yards (career-high 6.6 […]

Rashod Bateman Not Practicing Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is missing practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. It's Bateman's fifth straight missed practice overall, and he doesn't look to be close to returning after being inactive for Sunday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 22-year-old will need to get in some practice […]

Brian Robinson Expected To Start On Thursday

Washington Commanders rookie running back Brian Robinson is expected to start on Thursday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Robinson led the team's backfield in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans in his NFL debut, so this shouldn't be a huge surprise. But it's a great story for the 23-year-old, who got a […]

Tee Higgins Unable To Practice Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) was not in uniform and did not practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Higgins aggravated his ankle injury early in Sunday night's loss to the Baltimore Ravens and gave his fantasy managers a donut in the scoring column, and he's trending towards missing Week […]

Christian Watson Hasn't Practiced This Week

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) wasn't practicing with the team for the second straight day on Thursday. Watson left the Week 5 loss to the New York Giants in London early due to a right hamstring injury, and he's on the wrong track to return to action in Week 6 against […]

Aaron Rodgers Back At Practice Thursday

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (thumb) took part in Thursday's practice after being held out on Wednesday. Rodgers is dealing with a right thumb injury, but he was able to do individual drills on Thursday and should be just fine for the Week 6 meeting against the New York Jets. As predicted, the 38-year-old […]

James Conner Expected To Miss Week 6

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is expected to miss the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks and potentially even more time, according to league sources. Darrel Williams (knee) has already been ruled out this weekend and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram […]

Triston McKenzie To Start Game 3 Of ALDS

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Triston McKenzie will start in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Saturday against the New York Yankees. Manager Terry Francona said the team is leaning toward not starting right-hander Shane Bieber, who will start Game 2 on Friday, on short rest for a potential series-deciding Game 5, but that's […]

Jake Meyers Gets The Start In Game 2

Houston Astros outfielder Jake Meyers is starting in center field and is batting eighth in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Seattle Mariners and right-hander Luis Castillo on Thursday. He'll take over for Chas McCormick, who went 1-for-2 with a run scored in the Game 1 win on Tuesday. Meyers entered […]

Rockies Part Ways With Hitting Coach Dave Magadan

The Colorado Rockies and hitting coach Dave Magadan have mutually agreed to part ways following the 2022 season. Third base coach/infield coach Stu Cole has also been reassigned to a minor league staff position. The moves come after the Rockies finished 68-94 and in last place in the National League West. The 60-year-old Magadan had […]

Spencer Strider Was Available In Relief In Game 2

Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Strider (oblique) was available out of the bullpen in the Game 2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Division Series on Wednesday. Manager Brian Snitker still hasn't announced his Game 3 starter for Friday, so it's possible that Strider will get the nod, although it's probably more […]
