Bryce Harper Hitting Cleanup In Game 1 Against Lefty

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper is serving as the designated hitter and is batting cleanup in Game 1 of the National League Wild-Card Series on Friday against the St. Louis Cardinals and left-hander Jose Quintana.

Jahan Dotson Ruled Out Against Titans

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jahan Dotson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans. Hopefully Dotson will end up missing just one game, but he'll likely be at least questionable for Week 6 on a quick turnaround next Thursday night. With Dotson out, Dyami Brown and Cam Sims will be […]

Cameron Brate Ruled Out For Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cameron Brate (concussion), safety Logan Ryan (foot) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (foot) have been ruled out for Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Garrett Bolles Could Be Done For The Year

Denver Broncos left tackle Garrett Bolles (leg) suffered a broken right leg in the Thursday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5, according to a source.

Indianapolis Colts defensive end Kwity Paye (ankle), who was carted off the field during Thursday night's overtime win over the Denver Broncos, is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain based on his initial evaluation, according to a source.

Zay Jones Ready To Return In Week 5

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (ankle) is ready to play in Week 5 against the Houston Texans after he sat out of last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.

Raiders Signing Albert Wilson

The Las Vegas Raiders are signing veteran free-agent wide receiver Albert Wilson to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to sources. Wilson played in 14 games (five starts) for the Miami Dolphins last year, catching 25 passes on 39 targets for 213 yards and no touchdowns.

Wan'Dale Robinson, Kenny Golladay Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receivers Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) and Kenny Golladay (knee) have both been ruled out for Week 5 against the Green Bay Packers in London. Robinson hasn't played since making his NFL debut in the season opener, and the Giants will also be without Kadarius Toney, who is now dealing with injuries to […]

Daniel Jones Will Play Against Packers

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) was taken off the final injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday in London against the Green Bay Packers in Week 5. Most of Jones' QB2 value in fantasy comes from his rushing ability -- he scored two touchdowns with his legs in the Week 4 […]

Jamison Crowder Headed To Injured Reserve

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jamison Crowder (ankle) is expected to be put on Injured Reserve, which means he'll have to miss at least the next four games after suffering a broken ankle in the Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Crowder's absence will mean more work for slot man Isaiah McKenzie (concussion), although his […]

Kyle Pitts Ruled Out For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts (hamstring) didn't practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Fantasy managers will obviously need to remove him from their starting lineups this weekend. With Pitts out, Parker Hesse and Anthony Firkser will battle for playing time at the position, […]

Broncos Defense Does All It Can Against Colts

The Denver Broncos defense did its job in the Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. They limited the Colts offense to just 12 points, sacked quarterback Matt Ryan six times and picked him off twice for a solid fantasy showing to begin Week 5 action. They limited Indianapolis to just 306 […]

Brandon McManus Makes Three Field Goals Thursday

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus didn't have a single extra-point try as the team failed to score an offensive touchdown in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night, but he made three of his four field-goal attempts.

KJ Hamler Catches One Pass In Loss To Colts

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler secured his only target for 10 yards in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night in Week 5. Hamler picked up his first reception of the 2022 season in last week's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, and now he has two catches on four […]

Jerry Jeudy Catches Only Three Passes Against Colts

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was second on the team in receiving in Thursday night's 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts, but he had just three catches on eight targets for a pedestrian 53 yards. It didn't help that Denver's offense wasn't able to find the end zone all night in another disappointing […]

Courtland Sutton Leads Broncos With 74 Yards

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton once again led the team in receiving in Thursday night's 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts in Week 5. Sutton finished with team-highs in catches (five), receiving yards (74) and targets (11). He had a chance to score the game-winning touchdown late in the game, but the Colts […]

Mike Boone Has 10 Touches Against Colts

Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone had a pretty solid effort on Thursday night against the Indianapolis Colts in the team's Week 5 loss. In his first game in an elevated role with Javonte Williams (knee) out for the year, Boone carried the ball seven times for 38 yards (5.4 yard-per-carry average) while catching all […]

Melvin Gordon III Leads Denver Backfield In Week 5

As expected, Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III was the team's lead back in the Thursday night game against the Indianapolis Colts, the first without Javonte Williams (knee), who suffered a season-ending torn ACL and LCL last week. Gordon had a team-high 15 carries for 54 yards (3.6 yards per carry) while adding three […]

Russell Wilson Struggles Against Colts

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and the offense looked pretty bad once again in the 12-9 overtime loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. Wilson went 21-for-39 for 274 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions while also running the ball four times for 22 yards. His two interceptions were costly turnovers for the Broncos, […]

Zack Wheeler Starting Game 1 For Phillies

Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler has been tabbed as the team's Game 1 starter against the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Wild-Card Series that begins on Friday. He'll be opposed by Cardinals left-hander Jose Quintana. In his final three starts of the regular season, Wheeler allowed just one earned run on nine hits […]

Josh Naylor Starting Against Lefty In Game 1

Cleveland Guardians first baseman Josh Naylor is starting at first base and is hitting fifth in the batting order for Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series against the Tampa Bay Rays and left-hander Shane McClanahan on Friday. It's an interesting choice for the first game of a three-game series, as Naylor hit just […]

Yandy Diaz Leading Off For Rays In Game 1

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz is starting at third base and is hitting leadoff in Game 1 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Friday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Shane Bieber.

Devine Ozigbo Active For Broncos Thursday

The Denver Broncos elevated running back Devine Ozigbo from the practice squad to the active roster for Thursday Night Football against the Indianapolis Colts, according to a source. He will play special teams and maybe more behind Melvin Gordon III and Mike Boone. Newly signed veteran Latavius Murray, who was just plucked off the New […]

Diontae Johnson Pops Up On Injury Report

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (hip) popped up on Thursday's injury report and was listed as a limited participant in practice. Johnson is apparently just dealing with some hip soreness after the Week 4 loss to the New York Jets, so it doesn't sound like an injury that will sideline him this Sunday against […]

Evan McPherson Practices In Full Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson (groin) returned to a full practice session on Thursday after he was limited on Wednesday. Barring a setback with his groin injury on Friday, McPherson should be active in Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night in a game that could easily be a high-scoring affair. With the […]

Tee Higgins, Hayden Hurst Limited Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (ankle) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Barring a setback on Friday, both Higgins and Hurst should be good to go for Sunday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens, even if they ultimately are listed […]
