Russell Wilson Looking To Get Things Going In Week 4

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 340 yards and a touchdown in the season opener against his former team, but he's gone backwards in the two games since and finished with under 200 yards passing in last week's 11-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Denver's offense just hasn't been able to get into […]

Xavien Howard Questionable To Return Thursday

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) suffered a groin injury in Thursday's Week 4 game against the Cincinnati Bengals and is questionable to return. Before leaving the contest, Howard had two tackles (one solo). Miami's aggressive defense has done a pretty good job of containing Cincinnati's explosive passing attack through three quarters on Thursday night, […]

Trayce Thompson Scratched From Lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival San Diego Padres due to a personal issue. Manager Dave Roberts said Thompson will be away from the team for a day, so he could return on Friday. With Thompson out, Miguel Vargas will get the […]

Keenan Allen Limited Again Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was limited for the second straight day in practice this week on Thursday. However, Allen reportedly left practice early with a trainer near the end of the period of practice open to the media. The 30-year-old hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in the season opener, and […]

Justin Herbert Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Herbert was a game-time decision in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he suited up and threw for under 300 yards with a touchdown and an interception. It looks as though […]

Ronnie Stanley Could Play In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is trending in the right direction and told reporters, "You might see me this week" in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. Stanley has been recovering from season-ending ankle surgery last October and has yet to make his 2022 season debut. But the 28-year-old Pro Bowler has returned […]

Boston Scott Absent Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) was not seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Scott is injured heading into the Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has played only 36 offensive snaps through the first three games, which is well behind Miles Sanders' 112 and Kenneth […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Misses Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) did not take part in Thursday's practice. Valdes-Scantling was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so he's trending towards being questionable for the Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. Through the first three weeks of the season, MVS is fourth on […]

Avisail Garcia, Joey Wendle Back From IL, Garrett Cooper To IL

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring), infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) and pitcher Tommy Nance (groin) from the injured list on Thursday. The Marlins also placed infielder/outfielder Garrett Cooper (pinkie) on the 10-day injured list with a pinkie fracture and Steven Okert (triceps) on the 15-day injured list with left triceps tightness. Jesus Sanchez […]

Sixto Sanchez To Have Another Shoulder Surgery

Miami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic right shoulder surgery conducted by Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Oct. 5, but the Marlins anticipate him being ready for spring training next year. Hopefully this procedure will put the 24-year-old Dominican back on track to pitch for the Fish in 2023, as he's missed […]

Brendan Rodgers Activated, Connor Joe Goes On Injured List

The Colorado Rockies activated second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) from the injured list on Thursday and placed outfielder Connor Joe (ribs) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rodgers went on the IL a week ago and will be back for the final handful of games in the 2022 regular season. It remains […]

Corey Seager Not Starting Against Mariners

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Seager will miss his second straight game due to a bruised left forearm that he suffered on Tuesday. The 28-year-old remains day-to-day after X-rays came back negative on his arm. With Seager out again Thursday, rookie Josh […]

Justin Turner Riding Pine Again Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (leg) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival San Diego Padres. Turner is dealing with an injured left leg and could be out for another few games as the Dodgers look to rest him up before the postseason. LA has already locked up the […]

Jesse Winker Returns To Thursday's Lineup

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker (wrist) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and right-hander Jon Gray, serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth. Winker will return to action after missing the last two games due to a bruise left wrist. He's really struggled in the month of September, […]

Matt Prater Has Been Limited This Week

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a right hip injury. Prater should be able to play in the Week 4 contest against the Carolina Panthers, but fantasy managers should be able to find better options at the position in fantasy. […]

A.J. Green Sits Out Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. The veteran wideout is looking unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. Greg Dortch, not Green, has been the biggest beneficiary of DeAndre Hopkins' suspension to begin the year. Rondale Moore (hamstring) has yet […]

Greg Dortch, Rondale Moore Limited Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Greg Dortch (back) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dortch was a hot waiver-wire pickup this week after catching nine of 10 targets for 80 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He has really […]

James Conner Limited Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) was limited in practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Conner played through a questionable tag in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and he should be fine for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, barring a setback later this week. After a […]

Optimism That Christian McCaffrey Plays In Week 4

There is optimism that Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) plays in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals despite the fact that he has missed two practices this week with a thigh injury. McCaffrey has kept the injury close to the vest, but barring a setback, he should be OK for Sunday's game. The […]

Willi Castro Done For The Season

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (hamstring) is done for the rest of the season due to a left hamstring injury. Zack Short, Daz Cameron, Josh Lester, Brendon Davis and Luis Garcia are the on-roster candidates to replace Castro for the conclusion of the 2022 regular season. Castro was forced to leave Thursday's game early against […]

Zach Plesac Pushed Back To Saturday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac (hand) will switch spots with Aaron Civale in the starting rotation this week and be moved back to Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, with Civale going on Friday. Plesac will then potentially move to a relief role for the postseason. Civale will make his final start of the regular […]

Steven Wilson To Serve As Opener Thursday

San Diego Padres rookie right-hander Steven Wilson will serve as the opener on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Nelson will be making his first career major-league start in this one, but he's unlikely to be a realistic fantasy streamer in what should be a short outing. He's made 47 relief appearances in 2022, […]

Julio Rodriguez To Resume Baseball Activities Thursday

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said that rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) will begin baseball activities on Thursday and is aiming to return from the injured list when he's eligible next Monday. The Mariners took the conservative approach by putting him on the injured list to make sure his back gets right, and Rodriguez […]

Bo Naylor On Cleveland's Taxi Squad

Cleveland Guardians catching prospect Bo Naylor is in Cleveland and is on the team's taxi squad at the moment. Skipper Terry Francona hinted that the team was having discussions about whether to add a third catcher to the active roster. Naylor, the team's No. 5 prospect per MLB Pipeline, would be joining backstops Austin Hedges […]

Nationals-Phillies To Play Doubleheader On Friday

The Washington Nationals and Philadelphia Phillies will begin their weekend series with a doubleheader on Friday with the remnants of Hurricane Ian forecasted to bring inclement weather to the region over the weekend. The game between these two teams scheduled for Saturday has been moved to Friday. Right-hander Erick Fedde is scheduled to start the […]

Yandy Diaz Still Absent Thursday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday for the series finale against the Cleveland Guardians. Diaz hasn't played in over a week due to a shoulder injury. He was in the original lineup on Wednesday but was scratched. Fantasy managers can only hope the 31-year-old can return […]

Mac Jones Not Counting Himself Out For Week 4

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) is in the facility and has been participating in game-planning ahead of Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, according to sources. Jones has told multiple teammates not to count him out of this weekend's game and is still operating as if he has a chance to play […]

Dalton Schultz Expected To Practice In Full Thursday

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) is expected to be a full-go for Thursday's practice, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Schultz was limited in Wednesday's session after sitting out the Week 3 win over the New York Giants, so he's trending in the right direction to return to action in Week 4 against […]

Brevin Jordan Misses Another Practice

Houston Texans tight end Brevin Jordan (ankle) missed his second straight practice of the week on Thursday. It appears that Jordan is heading for his second straight missed game in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers if he's unable to return to the practice field on Friday. With Jordan inactive in last week's loss […]

Bengals Place D.J. Reader On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed defensive tackle D.J. Reader (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Thursday. He will be out a minimum of four weeks, but six weeks is the expected recovery time. Reader is dealing with an MCL injury to his left knee and will be out for the foreseeable future. With the 28-year-old defensive […]
