Brandon McManus Still On The Streaming Radar

With the Denver Broncos offense stalling through the first two weeks of the 2022 season, kicker Brandon McManus has been busy. He's made six of his seven field-goal attempts, with his only miss coming on a 64-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter of the season-opening loss. He has made both of his extra-point tries. […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Hard To Trust On Sunday Night

Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam has been disappointing through the first two weeks of the season as the team's primary pass-catching tight end, hauling in five of his eight targets for 33 yards. Eric Saubert had the team's lone touchdown in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. Okwuegbunam could be more involved […]

Courtland Sutton Could Have Another Big Game In Week 3

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton was peppered with targets in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans and finished with seven catches (11 targets) for 122 yards. Fellow wideout Jerry Jeudy (chest) left with an injury in the first half and never returned, which surely played a part in Sutton's team-high 11 targets. […]

Micah Parsons Won't Practice Due To Illness

Dallas Cowboys pass-rusher Micah Parsons (illness) will not practice on Friday, but head coach Mike McCarthy said that Parsons is "feeling better." Parsons still has another day to return to the practice field with the team's Week 3 game coming on Monday night against the New York Giants. The 23-year-old All-Pro and reigning Defensive Rookie […]

Dak Prescott Will Be Starter When Healthy

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy shot down owner Jerry Jones' quarterback controversy by confirming that Dak Prescott (thumb) will be the team's starter when he's healthy. "Clearly, everybody in our locker room and everybody in the building, Jerry (Jones) included, Dak is our quarterback," McCarthy said. "We want Cooper Rush to be successful as […]

Melvin Gordon III Remains In Play As A Flex

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III is clearly the 1B to Javonte Williams' 1A in Denver's backfield rotation. Gordon did out-carry Williams in the season-opener, but that wasn't the case in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. The 29-year-old played only 32 percent of the snaps and had 10 carries for 47 […]

Javonte Williams A High-End RB2 For Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams was out-carried by backfield mate Melvin Gordon III in the season opener, but that wasn't the case in the Week 2 win over the Houston Texans, when Williams had 15 carries for 75 yards. He added a 10-yard catch after posting 11 receptions in Week 1. Gordon isn't going […]

Russell Wilson A Borderline Fantasy Starter Against Niners

The Denver Broncos offense and quarterback Russell Wilson have gotten off to a very slow start through two weeks of the 2022 season. Through two games, Wilson has a career-low 58.9 completion percentage, 559 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. He has just 7.7 yards per attempt and surely doesn't look like the same […]

Micah Hyde Ruled Out For Week 3

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has ruled out safety Micah Hyde (neck) and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (hamstring) for the Week 3 divisional showdown against the Miami Dolphins. With star safety Jordan Poyer (foot) also up in the air to play this weekend, Buffalo's secondary could be vulnerable against a Dolphins offense that just […]

Jaylen Warren Has Five Touches Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers rookie running back Jaylen Warren only had five touches in the Week 3 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Thursday night, but he was efficient with his touches. The 23-year-old had 30 yards on his four carries and caught his lone target for a three-yard gain in the 29-17 defeat. What the 5-foot-8, […]

Christian McCaffrey Off The Week 3 Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (ankle), who dealt with some ankle stiffness earlier in the week, has been removed from the Week 3 injury report and will play on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. McCaffrey was limited in practice on Thursday, but he should be fine for this weekend's action. The 26-year-old oft-injured […]

David Njoku Could Be Coverage-Scheme Dependent

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku had a career-high nine catches on 10 targets for 89 yards and a touchdown in Thursday night's 29-17 win over the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. It was the most catches by a Browns tight end in a single game since Jordan Cameron had nine in 2013. "I think that is […]

Mariners Concerned About Julio Rodriguez's Injury

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) will undergo an MRI exam on Friday in Kansas City, according to manager Scott Servais, who called the injury "concerning." Rodriguez didn't go for imaging tests when he first experienced lower back tightness and missed three games last weekend. The 21-year-old left the game in the first inning […]

Jordan Poyer Considered Day-To-Day

Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer (foot) missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, but he's being considered day-to-day with his foot injury, according to a source. Safety Micah Hyde (neck) has also missed both practices this week, so Buffalo's strong secondary could be short-handed in a big divisional matchup in Week 3 against […]

Ravens Agree With Jason Pierre-Paul

The Baltimore Ravens and free-agent pass-rusher Jason Pierre-Paul agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million on Thursday, according to a source. The two sides had been talking for months, and the deal will be a rare non-minimum deal during the season. Baltimore's defense was one of the most beat up units (mostly […]

Lamar Jackson Practices In Full

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (elbow) was a full participant in Thursday's practice after he was limited on Wednesday. Jackson is dealing with a sore right elbow, but head coach John Harbaugh said on Wednesday that Jackson will play in Week 3 against the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old signal-caller also wasn't using a sleeve […]

George Kittle Practices Again Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) got in another limited practice on Thursday. Kittle was looking much better at the end of last week before missing his second straight game to open up the season, but he's been limited so far this week and is trending in the right direction to make his […]

Steelers Not Considering Benching Mitch Trubisky

Heading into the Thursday night game against the division-rival Cleveland Browns in Week 3, the Pittsburgh Steelers haven't had any conversations about replacing quarterback Mitch Trubisky as the starter under center. Going into the start of the regular season, the hope was that Trubisky would remain the starter for the entire season. But the former […]

Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Anthony Walker Jr. Injured Thursday

Cleveland Browns linebackers Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (quadriceps) and Anthony Walker Jr. (knee) were both injured in the Thursday night game against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Owusu-Koramoah is listed as questionable to return with a quadriceps injury after being taken back to the locker room to be evaluated. Walker was carted off the field and had his […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Scratched With Back Tightness Thursday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) was scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the Philadelphia Phillies with mid-back tightness. Until we know more about Acuna's condition, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day. Robbie Grossman is moving to right field and will bat ninth, while Marcell Ozuna is now starting in left field […]

Freddy Peralta Could Return This Weekend

Milwaukee Brewers skipper Craig Counsell said that right-hander Freddy Peralta (shoulder) could return from the injured list to rejoin the starting rotation this weekend against the Cincinnati Reds. Peralta is currently listed as TBA for Sunday's contest. The 26-year-old has been out since Sept. 8 when he began experiencing fatigue in his right shoulder. But […]

David Bednar Coming Off Injured List

Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton announced that All-Star closer David Bednar (back) will be activated from the 15-day injured list on Thursday, with left-hander Eric Stout (back) going on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Bednar made three minor league rehab outings with Triple-A Indianapolis before he was activated, and he'll have time […]

Dodgers Pick Up Daniel Hudson's 2023 Option

The Los Angeles Dodgers are picking up right-handed reliever Daniel Hudson's (knee) $6.5 million option for the 2023 season, according to sources. Hudson posted an excellent 2.22 ERA (2.04 FIP), a 0.90 WHIP, five saves and 30 strikeouts for LA in 24 1/3 innings out of the bullpen this year before suffering a season-ending torn […]

Nico Hoerner Still Sidelined

Chicago Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner (triceps) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It remains to be seen if Hoerner will land on the injured list, which would likely end his 2022 season. The 25-year-old has now missed 10 straight games, so it's entirely possible he won't be able to […]

Santiago Espinal Retreats To The Bench

Toronto Blue Jays infielder Santiago Espinal (side) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Espinal dealt with left side discomfort on Wednesday and was forced to leave the game early. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return to the lineup on Friday, but fantasy managers […]

Luis Robert Out Again Thursday Against Guardians

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert is out of the starting lineup for the second straight day on Thursday against the Cleveland Guardians. Robert is limping to the finish line in 2022 and has played in just seven games this month, mostly due to a hand/wrist injury. He's also suffered at the plate when he […]

Seiya Suzuki Not Expected Back This Weekend

Chicago Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki, who is on the paternity list, isn't expected back for the team's four-game weekend series against the Pittsburgh Pirates since his wife has not yet delivered their baby. Suzuki initially went on the paternity list last Saturday and was then moved to the restricted list on Thursday. Fantasy managers shouldn't […]

Andrew Benintendi Unlikely To Return Before Playoffs

New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi (hand, wrist) said "it's pretty safe to say the regular season is out" for his return to the team. Benintendi is hoping to be part of the team's postseason roster, but he's not sure yet when he'll resume swinging a bat. The 28-year-old suffered a broken hamate bone and […]

Joey Wendle Placed On Injured List

The Miami Marlins placed infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with left hamstring tendonitis. The Fish also put left-hander Trevor Rogers (lat) on the 15-day injured list with a left lat strain and recalled pitchers Braxton Garrett and Peyton Burdick from Triple-A Jacksonville. Garrett will likely start on Friday. Wendle's […]

Mike Soroka Lands On Injured List In Minors

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Mike Soroka (elbow) is being placed on the injured list in the minor leagues at Triple-A Gwinnett with right elbow soreness, according to a source. The good news is that there is no structural damage in his arm, but he'll now miss the rest of the season. The 25-year-old had yet […]
