Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (knee) is considered week-to-week instead of day-to-day after suffering a patellar tendon injury in the Week 7 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, and the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport would be surprised if Metcalf plays this Sunday against the New York Giants.

Will Smith Added To World Series Roster

The Houston Astros added left-handed reliever Will Smith to their roster for the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Broncos Defense Has Real Potential This Week

The Denver Broncos defense has been better in real life than fantasy through the first seven weeks, but they have some real fantasy upside in a Week 8 matchup in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Brandon McManus Hard To Trust In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus ranks ninth among all kickers in total fantasy points through seven weeks of the 2022 season.

The 31-year-old is also kicking for the lowest-scoring offense […]

Greg Dulcich On The Streaming Radar Against Jacksonville
