Garrett Crochet Not Expected To Start In 2023

Although the Chicago White Sox "need another starter," according to pitching coach Ethan Katz, he doesn't believe "starting is in the cards" for left-hander Garrett Crochet (elbow) next season. However, Crochet could serve as a multi-inning reliever. It's not a huge surprise after the 23-year-old southpaw had Tommy John surgery in April of this year. […]

The St. Louis Cardinals agreed to a one-year contract with free-agent right-hander Chris Stratton on Thursday. The deal is reportedly for $2.8 million.

The Kansas City Chiefs placed wide receiver Mecole Hardman (abdomen) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, meaning he'll miss at least the next four games.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers A.J. Brown (ankle, rest) and DeVonta Smith (knee) were both limited in practice again on Thursday.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (illness) was added to the Week 11 injury report after being listed as a DNP for Thursday's practice with an illness.

Allen suffered a UCL injury in Week 9 but managed to play through it without any limitations in the Week 10 overtime loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

Broncos Defense Is A Top-10 Fantasy Unit This Week

The Denver Broncos defense may only be tied for 17th in the NFL in total fantasy points through the first 10 weeks of 2022, but you can't overlook the fact that they're allowing the fewest points per game (16.6), the fewest passing yards per game (174.4) and the second-fewest total yards per game (290.4) in […]

Brandon McManus A Low-Ceiling Streamer Against Raiders

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus heads into a Week 11 matchup against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders tied for 20th among kickers in total fantasy points through 10 weeks.

Greg Dulcich Should Bounce Back In Week 11

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Greg Dulcich had the worst game of his young career in the Week 10 loss to the Tennessee Titans, catching just one of four targets for 11 yards. In his previous three contests, Dulcich found his way onto the TE1 radar by catching 12 of his 17 targets for 182 […]

Gus Edwards Practicing Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) took part in his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Edwards was limited in his return on Wednesday, so he'll likely be listed as limited again on Thursday. The 27-year-old had last week's bye to rest up after he was held out in Week 9. In his […]

David Njoku Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday.

Thursday was Njoku's first practice […]

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) went through individual drills during the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday.

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.

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.
