Julio Jones Not Expected To Return Anytime Soon

The Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud doesn't think Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) is going to return to action anytime soon and writes that the Bucs are playing the long game with Jones. The 33-year-old veteran returned to a limited practice on Thursday, but the coaching staff is trying to keep Jones […]

DJ Moore Considered A Foundational Piece For Panthers

The Carolina Panthers have received multiple trade calls on wide receiver DJ Moore, but the team has considered him as a foundational piece to their roster, according to sources. It would be a tough trade to execute. The Panthers have traded away star running back Christian McCaffrey and receiver Robbie Anderson this week as they […]

Kenny Pickett, Pat Freiermuth Clear Concussion Protocol

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie quarterback Kenny Pickett, tight end Pat Freiermuth and cornerback Levi Wallace have all cleared the league's concussion protocol and are all on track to play on Sunday night against the Miami Dolphins in Week 7. Pickett put in a full week of practice after leaving last week's win over the Tampa Bay […]

Elijah Moore Won't Play In Week 7

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said trading wide receiver Elijah Moore isn't an option, and the second-year pass-catcher will not play in Week 7 against the Denver Broncos after formally demanding a trade on Thursday. The Jets don't want the 22-year-old to take the field while being frustrated with his role on the […]

Christian McCaffrey Up In The Air To Play In Week 7

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he's not sure if running back Christian McCaffrey will make his debut for the team in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs after the team acquired him late Thursday night from the Carolina Panthers. "I'm still up in the air whether we're going to be able […]

Dusty Baker To Be Asked Back In 2023

The Houston Astros will invite manager Dusty Baker back to manage again in 2023, according to sources. Neither Baker nor general manager James Click have a contract for next season, which is an unusual situation for a team that made the World Series in 2021 and is in the American League Championship Series for the […]

Blue Jays Agree To Three-Year Contract With John Schneider

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to terms with manager John Schneider on a three-year contract on Friday as their manager for the 2023 through 2025 seasons. The deal includes a team option for the 2026 season. The former bench coach went 46-28 as the interim manager after taking over for Charlie Montoyo in July of […]

Broncos Defense Has Potential To Impress In Week 7

The Denver Broncos defense is no doubt the strength of their team so far in 2022. They're limiting opponents to the fourth-fewest points per game (16.5) and the third-fewest total yards per game (290.3). But they are currently ranked No. 14 in overall fantasy points thanks to a lack of turnovers (three fumble recoveries, four […]

Brandon McManus Has A Tough Matchup This Week

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus had a strong game in the Week 6 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, making all three of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try. But he'll be facing a New York Jets defense in Week 7 that is allowing just 6.3 fantasy points per game to the […]

Greg Dulcich Not A Starting TE Option In Week 7

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Greg Dulcich made a positive impression in his NFL debut in the Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and was one of the lone bright spots on offense on Monday night. The 22-year-old third-rounder caught two of three targets for 44 yards and his first career touchdown on […]

KJ Hamler Shouldn't Be In Starting Lineups Sunday

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler should be far away from starting lineups for a Week 7 matchup against the upstart New York Jets. In fact, Hamler shouldn't even be rostered in 12-team leagues in one of the worst offenses in football through the first six weeks of the season. The 23-year-old speedy downfield threat […]

Jerry Jeudy Hard To Trust As A WR3/Flex

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy led the team in targets (seven) and receiving yards (54) in the Week 6 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on three receptions. Most of his damage came on a 37-yard reception on a broken play deep down the field, and the 23-year-old hasn't really done much for […]

Courtland Sutton Looking To Bounce Back In Week 7

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton is coming off his worst game of the season in the Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, when he caught just two of three targets for 14 yards. Sutton still leads the team in catches (31), targets (49) and receiving yards (431) through the first six weeks, […]

Latavius Murray A Shaky Starting Option In Week 7

Denver Broncos running back Latavius Murray surprisingly led the team's backfield in the Week 6 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in his debut with the Broncos when he carried the ball 15 times for 66 yards. He also caught just one pass for minus-two yards. Melvin Gordon III was inexplicably benched after starting […]

Christian McCaffrey Traded To The 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers acquired Pro Bowl running back Christian McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers on Thursday night in exchange for undisclosed draft picks, according to sources. McCaffrey will return to the Bay Area, where he played at Stanford in college. McCaffrey will take over as the lead back in San Francisco, basically rendering Jeff […]

Melvin Gordon III Hard To Trust Against The Jets

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (neck, ribs) has practiced in full the last few days and should be good to go for a Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets. Gordon started the Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers but finished with just three carries for eight yards and wasn't […]

Trent Williams Thinks He'll Play In Week 7

San Francisco 49ers All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) thinks he will play in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Williams has returned to practice this week after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 3. The 34-year-old veteran is trending in the right direction, but he's still not a lock to return this Sunday […]

Shaquille Leonard Trending In The Right Direction

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Shaquille Leonard (back, concussion, nose) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Leonard made his season debut in Week 4 after offseason back surgery and suffered a broken nose and a concussion and has missed the last two games. His recovery from a broken nose is his […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. To See More Opportunities

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. is set to see more opportunities moving forward after the team traded away Robbie Anderson earlier this week. "Terrace (Marshall) is going to get a lot of opportunities moving forward," offensive coordinator Ben McAdoo said on Thursday. Alongside Marshall, Shi Smith, Rashard Higgins and Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) […]

Gerald Everett Returns To Full Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Gerald Everett (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday with an illness. He's now on track to play in the Week 7 game against the Seattle Seahawks. And with fellow tight end Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) still in the concussion protocol without getting […]

Bradley Roby Carted Off On Thursday Night

New Orleans Saints cornerback Bradley Roby (foot) was carted to the locker room in the first quarter of Thursday night's game against the Arizona Cardinals with what looked to be a foot injury after he stepped on receiver Rondale Moore's foot awkwardly. There's a good chance that Roby won't be able to return to this […]

Raheem Mostert Puts In Full Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was able to put in a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as limited on Wednesday. Mostert should be in line to serve as Miami's lead back once again this Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers ahead of Chase Edmonds, who has just three carries in […]

Jaylen Waddle Gets Another Limited Tag

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (shoulder) was limited again in practice on Thursday. There's nothing to suggest that Waddle will be in danger of missing the Week 7 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. He's coming off his third 100-yard game of the season in the Week 6 loss to the […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Looks Set To Play

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) put in his second full practice of the week on Thursday and looks primed to play in the Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. St. Brown suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 3, missed Week 4 and returned in Week 5 to catch just four of […]

D'Andre Swift Limited Again Thursday

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift (ankle, shoulder) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Swift hasn't played since Week 3, but he has a shot to return in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, as long as he doesn't suffer a setback on Friday or Saturday. The 23-year-old […]

DJ Chark, Josh Reynolds Sit Out Of Practice Again

Detroit Lions wide receivers DJ Chark (ankle) and Josh Reynolds (knee) both missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Chark hasn't played since Week 3 and was seen wearing a walking boot on Thursday, so he almost certainly won't play in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys. Reynolds played through a […]

CeeDee Lamb A Full Practice Participant

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (hip) was a full participant in practice on Thursday after he was limited in Wednesday's session. Lamb played through the Week 6 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles with the hip injury and caught five of his 10 targets for 68 yards. The injury doesn't appear to be slowing the […]

Rashod Bateman Puts In Another Limited Practice

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) was limited in practice again on Thursday. Bateman missed the last two games with a foot sprain, but he appears to be trending in the right direction to potentially return in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns. There's a good chance he will be questionable for Sunday's game, […]

Robbie Anderson Could Play More Than Expected Thursday

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports on Thursday that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson, who was acquired in a trade from the Carolina Panthers on Monday, could have a baseline of 10 to 15 offensive snaps in his first game with the team on a quick turnaround against the New Orleans Saints. Initial reports suggested […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Has Wrist Surgery

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (wrist) dealt with left wrist issues this year and underwent successful surgery on the wrist on Thursday with Dr. Graham in Ohio.
