Marquez Valdes-Scantling Returns To Work Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) will return to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. It's good news for the Chiefs, but wideouts JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) haven't practiced this week, leaving them iffy for Sunday night's showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. MVS had his first 100-yard […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Mecole Hardman To Miss Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Mecole Hardman (abdomen) will miss another practice on Thursday. Both players have a shot to practice on Friday, but right now they are looking very iffy for Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. And with the game coming late Sunday night, both wideouts will […]

Marquise Brown Practicing Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was at practice on Thursday but didn't take part in all of the individual drills. But when he did, he was looking healthy. The Cardinals designated Brown to return from Injured Reserve this week, so he has a chance to be active on Monday night against the division-rival […]

Kyler Murray, Colt McCoy Both Working Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Colt McCoy (knee) were both seen working at practice on Thursday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury deemed both signal-callers as day-to-day on Wednesday and the Cardinals are hoping one will be available to play on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers are hoping it's Murray, who […]

Astros Sign Austin Davis To Minor-League Deal

The Houston Astros signed left-hander Austin Davis to a minor-league deal on Wednesday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Davis was designated for assignment by the Minnesota Twins in September and elected free agency, and now he'll join the Astros before the 2023 season. The 29-year-old southpaw spent most of the 2022 campaign […]

Rockies Avoid Arbitration With Dinelson Lamet

The Colorado Rockies avoided salary arbitration with right-hander Dinelson Lamet on Wednesday by agreeing to an undisclosed one-year deal. Lamet began the 2022 season with the San Diego Padres before being traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. The Rockies then claimed him off waivers from the Brewers in August. The 30-year-old pitched to a 4.05 ERA […]

Mariners Asking About Kolten Wong

The Seattle Mariners have inquired with the Milwaukee Brewers on the availability of second baseman Kolten Wong, who has one year left before reaching free agency, according to sources. Wong is a left-handed hitter and is coming off of a career-high 118 OPS+. Milwaukee picked up Wong's $10 million option for the 2023 season to […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Won't Practice Thursday

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) will not practice on Thursday, putting his availability for Week 11 against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in jeopardy. It's a downgrade for Robinson after he was limited in Wednesday's practice. Already a shaky WR4/flex in deeper leagues in New York's low-volume passing attack, Robinson is […]

Courtland Sutton Could Have A Big Game In Week 11

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton finally showed some signs of life in the Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, securing six of his 11 targets for 66 yards. It came after a three-game stretch in which he had just six catches on 16 targets for 50 scoreless yards. Jerry Jeudy (ankle) left the […]

Latavius Murray A Low-End RB3/Flex Against Raiders

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III remains the team's "starter," but Latavius Murray continues to see his fair share of the backfield work. In his four games with Denver since Javonte Williams (knee) was lost for the season, Murray has seen 46 carries for 160 yards and two touchdowns, adding seven receptions on nine […]

Jeffery Simmons Expected To Play Thursday

Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons (ankle) is expected to play on Thursday night against the Green Bay Packers, according to sources. Simmons is one of the top defensive linemen in the NFL and is set to return after missing the Week 10 win over the Denver Broncos. Simmons was listed as questionable on the […]

J.D. McKissic Absent Again Thursday

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic (neck) was not seen at practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. McKissic hasn't seen the practice field since injuring his neck in Week 8, and he seems likely to miss a third straight game this weekend against the Houston Texans, barring a miraculous recovery in […]

Melvin Gordon III Still The Best Bet In Broncos Backfield

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III had a decent fantasy day in the Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, carrying the ball seven times for 24 yards while catching four of a season-high-tying six targets for 46 yards. However, he's seen double-digit carries only once in the last four games and continues to […]

Russell Wilson Has A Good Matchup Against Raiders

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has a good matchup in Week 11 against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, but can he deliver for fantasy managers? Wilson had his best fantasy performance against the Raiders back in Week 4, when he went 17-for-25 for 237 yards and two touchdowns, also adding a rushing TD on four […]

Brandin Cooks Back On The Field Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks (hip, wrist) was seen at practice in the individual portion on Thursday after he sat out on Wednesday. Cooks typically gets a veteran rest day on Wednesday. The fact that he's back at practice on Thursday means he should be available to play in Week 11 against the Washington […]

Justin Verlander Wins Third AL Cy Young

Houston Astros starting pitcher Justin Verlander won his third career American League Cy Young award in 2022 at 39 years old after having Tommy John surgery. He won the award unanimously after missing all of last year. Verlander becomes the first-ever pitcher to win the award after throwing zero innings the previous season. He's also […]

Bills Will Continue To Work Nyheim Hines Into Offense

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that running back Nyheim Hines will be "worked in as he continues to grow" in the team's offense. Hines played just eight percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 10 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings in his second game after coming over in a trade from […]

Daniel Bellinger Still Missing From Practice

New York Giants rookie tight end Daniel Bellinger (eye) missed another practice on Wednesday. Bellinger fractured his eye socket in Week 7 and hasn't practiced or played since, and he's trending towards missing yet another contest in Week 11 against the Detroit Lions. The 22-year-old expects to play again this year, but he can be […]

Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay Limited Wednesday

New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson (hamstring) and Kenny Golladay (hamstring) were both limited participants in Wednesday's practice. Robinson has been playing more in the last three games, but he's produced just 10 receptions on 13 targets for 85 yards and no touchdowns in this low-volume passing attack. And now he's dealing with an […]

Dustin Hopkins Still Not Practicing

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a DNP at Wednesday's practice. Hopkins was last active in Week 6 and is expected to miss at least one more game, so fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on using him on Sunday night against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. Besides, Cameron Dicker has filled […]

Gerald Everett, DeAndre Carter Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (groin) and wide receiver DeAndre Carter (ribs) were both limited at Wednesday's practice. It's a good sign that Everett was able to do something at practice on Wednesday, but he sounds very questionable to play on Sunday night against the Kansas City Chiefs, making him an even more […]

David Njoku Misses Wednesday's Practice

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) didn't practice on Wednesday as he continues to recover from an ankle injury he suffered in Week 7. It's not a good sign for his availability in Week 11 against the Buffalo Bills, but Njoku also has two more days to try and get back on the practice […]

Curtis Samuel, Logan Thomas Limited Wednesday

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shin) and tight end Logan Thomas (rib) were both listed as limited participants in Wednesday's practice. We'll continue to monitor their statuses throughout the week, but barring any setbacks, both Samuel and Thomas should be able to play in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. Samuel has 47 catches […]

J.D. McKissic Unable To Practice Wednesday

Washington Commanders running back J.D. McKissic (neck) missed another practice on Wednesday. McKissic has missed the last two games and hasn't practiced at all either, so he's trending toward missing another contest in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. The Commanders have said that they will play it safe with the 29-year-old's neck injury. If […]

Mecole Hardman Still Not Practicing

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was unable to practice on Wednesday. JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) were also held out of practice, so the Chiefs top wideouts are all banged up heading into Sunday night's divisional clash against the Los Angeles Chargers. With that said, Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson and […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquez Valdes-Scantling Miss Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (illness) both missed practice on Wednesday. Mecole Hardman (abdomen) also missed practice, so KC's top wideouts are all questionable heading into a Sunday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11. It remains to be seen who will be available this weekend, […]

Saints Sticking With Andy Dalton At QB

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen said that the team will stick with Andy Dalton as the starting quarterback in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams. Allen said the team evaluated the position this week and discussed it with both Dalton and Jameis Winston. Dalton has been the starter since Week 4 with […]

Keenan Allen, Mike Williams Return To Individual Drills

Los Angeles Chargers wide receivers Keenan Allen (hamstring) and Mike Williams (ankle) returned to individual drills at practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. The Chargers expected both Allen and Williams to return to practice this week, but it remains to be seen if they'll be able to play on Sunday night against […]

Sandy Alcantara Wins National League Cy Young

Miami Marlins starting pitcher Sandy Alcantara won the 2022 National League Cy Young award on Wednesday. He becomes the team's first-ever Cy Young winner after he tossed a league-high 228 2/3 innings this year, which is the highest total for a pitcher since Justin Verlander's 223 in 2019. The 27-year-old right-hander's six complete games were […]
