AJ Pollock Becomes A Free Agent

Chicago White Sox outfielder AJ Pollock has declined his $13 million option for the 2023 season and has become a free agent. Pollock will receive a $5 million buyout and will now be free to sign with any team this offseason. The 34-year-old will latch on with another organization, but he could struggle to make […]

Jorge Soler Won't Opt Out Of His Deal

Miami Marlins left fielder Jorge Soler will not opt out of his deal with the team, according to a source. He will now make $15 million with the Marlins in 2023 and can opt out again after next season or exercise his final player option for $9 million in 2024. It makes sense after Soler […]

Yankees Expected To Give Anthony Rizzo A Qualifying Offer

The New York Yankees are expected to give first baseman Anthony Rizzo the $19.65 million qualifying offer. Rizzo opted out of his $16 million 2023 option on Tuesday and will likely decline the qualifying offer in order to test the free-agent market this offseason as a terrific two-way player at first base. The 33-year-old left-handed […]

Brewers Pick Up Kolten Wong's Option

The Milwaukee Brewers exercised second baseman Kolten Wong's $10 million option for the 2023 season on Tuesday. Wong will return as the team's everyday second baseman next season after posting a 114 OPS+ over the last two seasons with Milwaukee despite uncharacteristic struggles on defense. The 32-year-old left-handed hitter slashed .251/.339/.430 with 15 home runs, […]

Jose Ramirez To Have Thumb Surgery On Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez (thumb) will have thumb surgery on Wednesday. Ramirez initially injured his thumb in mid-June but played the rest of the season with the injury while noticeably being affected by it at the plate. But all in all, the 30-year-old Dominican switch-hitter was still one of the best hitters in […]

Willson Contreras Declining His Qualifying Offer

The Chicago Cubs are extending the $19.65 million qualifying offer to catcher Willson Contreras, but he is declining it and will become a free agent. The strong two-way catcher should do very well on the open market this offseason after slashing .243/.349/.466 with an .815 OPS, 22 home runs, 55 RBI, 65 runs scored and […]

Raiders Release Johnathan Abram Tuesday

In a surprise move, the Las Vegas Raiders released former first-round safety Johnathan Abram on Tuesday, according to a source. The Raiders shopped Abram at the trade deadline last week but found no takers, so he'll head to waivers. The 26-year-old was benched in Week 8 and has played only 52 defensive sacks in the […]

Kenny Golladay "Should Be Ready To Go" In Week 10

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) "should be ready to go" in Week 10 against the Houston Texans. Apparently Golladay made progress with his sprained MCL during last week's bye, but he hasn't appeared in a game since Week 4, so he'll likely have his snaps limited […]

Chuba Hubbard, Laviska Shenault Jr. Practice In Full

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) and wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (illness) both put in full practices on Tuesday. Hubbard suffered an ankle injury in Week 7 and has missed the last two games, but he has a chance to return on Thursday night in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. His return […]

Parks Frazier To Serve As Colts Play-Caller

Indianapolis Colts interim head coach Jeff Saturday is expected to have 30-year-old pass-game specialist/assistant quarterbacks coach Parks Frazier serve as the offensive play-caller, starting in Week 10 against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to sources. Frazier has the most experience of any offensive coach left on the staff after the team fired head coach Frank […]

Broncos Putting Lloyd Cushenberry On Injured Reserve

The Denver Broncos are placing center Lloyd Cushenberry (groin) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday with a groin injury, according to a source. The earliest he can return would be in Week 14 against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. In a corresponding move, the team is signing veteran safety Anthony Harris to the active roster from […]

Ravens Plan To Have Gus Edwards Back After The Bye

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said the team plans to have running back Gus Edwards (hamstring) back after the Week 10 bye. Edwards made his season debut in Week 7 but sustained a right hamstring injury in Week 8 and was held out of the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints in […]

Rachaad White To Take Over Bucs Backfield?

The Athletic's Greg Auman predicts that Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie running back Rachaad White will take over as the team's primary back by season's end. Leonard Fournette has disappointed this year, and his 3.3 yard-per-carry average is the worst in the NFL in the last three seasons. He doesn't have a run longer than 17 […]

Leonard Fournette "Extremely Frustrated" With His Role

A report from CBS Sports during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Week 9 game against the Los Angeles Rams indicated that running back Leonard Fournette was "extremely frustrated" for being held out of a drive late in the first half. Fournette finished with only 19 yards on nine carries, while rookie Rachaad White had five carries […]

Devin Duvernay Falls Flat On Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devin Duvernay was expected to do more in Monday night's win over the New Orleans Saints with both Rashod Bateman (foot) and tight end Mark Andrews (knee, shoulder) out. Duvernay caught his only target in the passing game for five yards while playing a season-high 74 percent of the offensive snaps. […]

Marquez Callaway Puts Up 24 Yards In Loss To Ravens

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway caught three of his five targets for 24 yards in the 27-13 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Monday Night Football. Callaway finished second on the team in targets behind rookie first-rounder Chris Olave, but he did very little with his opportunities and dropped a potential touchdown when […]

Demarcus Robinson Catches Just One Pass Monday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was targeted four times in the Monday night win over the New Orleans Saints, but he caught just one of those four targets for a 12-yard pickup. Robinson's four targets were second on the team in a game in which quarterback Lamar Jackson completed passes to 10 different players. […]

Teagan Quitoriano Could Have A Bigger Role

Houston Texans rookie tight end Teagan Quitoriano could have a bigger role moving forward after making his NFL debut in the Week 9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, when he caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown on 30 percent of the offensive snaps. However, the 22-year-old fifth-round pick will most likely serve more […]

Justice Hill Sees Just Five Touches Against Saints

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill wasn't heard from much in the 27-13 win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday night to close out Week 9 action. Hill carried the ball only four times for 11 yards (2.8 yards per carry) and caught his only target for an eight-yard gain. The 24-year-old had a […]

James Proche II Catches Two Passes Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver James Proche II had an elevated role in the Monday night win over the New Orleans Saints, but he caught just two of two targets for 22 yards to finish second in receiving behind rookie tight end Isaiah Likely. Quarterback Lamar Jackson spread the ball around, completing passes to 10 different […]

Treylon Burks' Week 10 Status Up In The Air

It's unknown if the Tennessee Titans will activate rookie wide receiver Treylon Burks (toe) from Injured Reserve in time for him to play in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos. Burks was placed on IR on Oct. 8 and is eligible to return this week. The Titans would first have to designate Burks to return […]

Cowboys Expect Ezekiel Elliott To Play In Week 10

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that he expects running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) to play in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers. Elliott was held out of the Week 8 game due to a knee sprain, but he had last week's bye to rest up. However, Elliott didn't take […]

Pete Werner, Erik McCoy, Marcus Davenport Injured Monday

New Orleans Saints linebacker Pete Werner (ankle), center Erik McCoy (calf) and defensive end Marcus Davenport (calf) were all injured in the Monday night game against the Baltimore Ravens. They are all questionable to return late in the second half. Werner was carted off the field, so he's unlikely to be back and could be […]

DeSean Jackson Questionable To Return Monday Night

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) is questionable to return to the Monday night game against the New Orleans Saints with a hamstring injury. Jackson was making his debut with the team and had caught one of his two targets for 16 yards in the game before leaving. With No. 1 receiver Rashod Bateman […]

Chris Ballard Expected To Return In 2023

Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said "of course" he expects general manager Chris Ballard to return in 2023. Irsay called Ballard "a winner." Irsay also said last week that head coach Frank Reich's job was safe, but he went back on that and fired him on Monday after a 26-3 loss to the New England […]

Anthony Rizzo Becomes A Free Agent

New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo opted out of his $16 million option for the 2023 season on Monday and has become a free agent. Two of the Yankees' biggest sluggers -- Rizzo and Aaron Judge -- will be free agents this winter. The 33-year-old Rizzo hit just .224 in his first full season […]

Phillies Decline Jean Segura's Option For 2023

The Philadelphia Phillies declined the club option on second baseman Jean Segura on Monday, making him a free agent. The Phillies will pay Segura a $1 million buyout instead of retaining him for $17 million in 2023. The 32-year-old Dominican played in just 98 regular season games for the Phillies this year due to injury […]

Giants Put Xavier McKinney On NFI List

The New York Giants placed safety Xavier McKinney (hand) on the Non-Football Injury list on Monday. McKinney injured his hand while on vacation riding an ATV during the team's bye last week, and he's expected to miss multiple weeks. It's a blow for the Giants secondary heading into a Week 10 meeting with the Houston […]

Budda Baker Suffers High-Ankle Sprain

Arizona Cardinals All-Pro safety Budda Baker (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources. The hope is that Baker can return in two or three weeks, based on the severity of his ankle sprain. It's a big blow to the Cardinals defense and for fantasy managers […]

Deebo Samuel Seen At Practice Monday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was seen on the practice field on Monday. Samuel was held out of the Week 8 game due to his hamstring, but he had the Week 8 bye to rest up. We'll have a better idea of his status heading into Week 10 against the Los Angeles […]
