The 26-year-old made his first attempt from 38 yards at the end of the second quarter and later drilled a 28-yard attempt during the fourth quarter to put the Commanders within one point. However, the […]

Keenan Allen Considered Questionable For Monday Night

As of now, the Los Angeles Chargers are considering wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) questionable for the Monday night game against the division-rival Denver Broncos in Week 6. Allen has made progress, but the Chargers are being cautious with him. If he feels any apprehension, they will hold him out for a fifth straight game. […]

Dak Prescott In "Regeneration" Mode

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) did a little more throwing than scheduled on Thursday and is in "regeneration" mode on Friday. Prescott will throw more before the team's Sunday night game against the Philadelphia Eagles as he works his way back from a fractured right thumb suffered in […]

Rashod Bateman Likely Out In Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) didn't practice on Friday, which means he'll likely miss his second straight game in Week 6 against the New York Giants. Bateman hasn't practiced in two weeks, so fantasy managers should keep him on their benches entering the weekend. With Bateman out in last Sunday night's win over […]

P.J. Walker Will Start Against Rams

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Steve Wilks said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) "had a great workout this morning," but P.J. Walker will get the start in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. Mayfield is officially listed as doubtful, but if he does wind up being active, he'd serve as the backup. It will […]

Baker Mayfield Doubtful To Play In Week 6

The Carolina Panthers have listed quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) as doubtful for Week 6 against the Los Angeles Rams. Mayfield did not take part in an official practice on Friday, and even if he's active on Sunday, he would serve as the backup to P.J. Walker in Week 6 action. The 27-year-old suffered a high-ankle […]

Andrew Benintendi Hitting Off Pitching Machine

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (wrist) hit off a high-velocity pitching machine on Thursday and will travel to Tampa to begin taking live at-bats. He could be activated from the injured list if the Yankees advance to the American League Championship Series next week. He hasn't played since Sept. 2 due to his wrist […]

DJ LeMahieu Traveling To Cleveland

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (toe) will travel with the team to Cleveland for the American League Division Series this weekend with the hopes of being activated if the team advances to the AL Championship Series next week. The Yankees say that he's dealing with a ligament injury to his right second toe, not […]

Will Brennan Takes A Seat Against Lefty Friday

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Will Brennan is not in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Friday against New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes. In his two postseason games so far this year, Brennan has gone 1-for-8 with four strikeouts. He'll give way to fellow rookie Oscar Gonzalez in […]

Josh Donaldson Hitting Fifth In Game 2

New York Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson is at third base and has been moved up to fifth in the batting order for Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Shane Bieber on Friday. Donaldson hit sixth in the first game of the series on Tuesday and went […]

Gerrit Cole Will Start Game 4 Of ALDS

New York Yankees skipper Aaron Boone said that right-hander Gerrit Cole will definitely start Game 4 of the American League Division Series against the Cleveland Guardians. The Yankees will not hold him out for a potential Game 5. Cole got the nod in the first game of the series on Tuesday and was masterful, allowing […]

Charlie Morton Going In Game 4 For Atlanta

Atlanta Braves right-hander Charlie Morton will make the start in Game 4 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday. With rookie Spencer Strider (oblique) getting the nod in Game 3 on Friday, Morton will be pushed back a day in the series. The 38-year-old veteran had a rough finish to […]

Spencer Strider Starting Game 3 Against Phillies

Atlanta Braves rookie right-hander Spencer Strider (oblique) is set to start Game 3 of the National League Division Series on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Strider's last start came on Sept. 18 and he's been dealing with a strained oblique muscle on his left side, so it's unclear how many innings he'll be able to […]

Oscar Gonzalez Hitting Cleanup In Game 2

Cleveland Guardians rookie outfielder Oscar Gonzalez is starting in right field and is hitting cleanup in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Friday against the New York Yankees and left-hander Nestor Cortes. Gonzalez has gone 3-for-13 with a solo home run, a run scored, five strikeouts and a hit by pitch in […]

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 […]
