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. McManus could have had a fifth attempt to tie the game late in the […]

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 […]

Eric Saubert Secures Season-High Five Catches In Week 5

Denver Broncos tight end Eric Saubert outplayed teammate Albert Okwuegbunam in the Week 5 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday night. Saubert played 56 percent of the team's offensive snaps in the 12-9 overtime loss, catching a season-high five passes on seven targets for 36 yards. Meanwhile, Okwuegbunam played 21 percent of the snaps […]

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. Diaz dealt with a shoulder injury for just over a week in the final month of the season, but he did […]

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 […]

Breece Hall Puts In Another Limited Practice

New York Jets rookie running back Breece Hall (knee) was limited for the second straight day in practice on Thursday. Hall could wind up with a questionable tag for this weekend if he's limited again on Friday, but he's on the right track to suit up in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. The second-rounder […]

Zach Wilson Upgrades To Full Practice

New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson (ankle) was upgraded to a "full" practice on Thursday after he was limited with an ankle issue on Wednesday. Wilson called it a "little ankle" injury and said he's "in a good spot" heading into a Week 5 meeting with the Miami Dolphins this Sunday. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller […]

Jarvis Landry Practices Again Thursday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) was able to practice for the second straight day on Thursday. He was officially listed as limited again on Thursday. Barring a setback on Friday, the 29-year-old slot receiver should suit up in Week 5 for a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. With Michael Thomas (foot) out […]

Still No Practice For Jameis Winston

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday after he was inactive in last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London. Unless Winston is able to get back out on the practice field on Friday, it's looking likely that he'll miss his second straight game […]

Michael Thomas Misses Another Practice

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (foot) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday for the second straight day. Thomas didn't play in the Week 4 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in London last week and is trending towards missing his second game in a row this weekend […]

CeeDee Lamb Sits Out Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (groin) didn't take part in practice on Wednesday due to a groin issue, but he said he's fine. It sounds like Lamb was just being rested as a precaution on Thursday, so if he's back on the practice field on Friday, he may not end up with an injury […]

Tom Brady Says He's Playing In Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady (finger, shoulder) said he "feels great" after returning to practice on Thursday and also said that he'll "be there Sunday" in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Brady was listed as a full participant on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, but his injuries don't appear to be very […]

Royals Fire Manager Mike Matheny

The Kansas City Royals fired manager Mike Matheny and pitching coach Cal Eldred following the regular season finale on Wednesday. The Royals finished the 2022 season 65-97. The team was plagued by poor pitching and struggles from young position players and a lackluster group of veterans. Owner John Sherman fired long-time front-office executive Dayton Moore […]

Reds Retain Manager David Bell For 2023 Season

The Cincinnati Reds will retain manager David Bell heading into the 2023 season next year, but they also let go of five of his assistant coaches after their 100-loss season. First base/baserunning coach Delino DeShields, hitting coach Alan Zinter, bullpen coach Lee Tunnell, advance scouting coach Cristian Perez and assistant coach Rolando Valles will not […]

Ryan Helsley On The Team's Wild-Card Roster

St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley (finger) didn't feel pain during his side session on Thursday and has been included on the Wild-Card roster for this weekend's series against the Philadelphia Phillies in St. Louis. It's great news for the Cardinals bullpen this weekend, and Helsley should continue to operate as St. Louis' closer in […]

Blake Snell To Start Game 2 Of Wild-Card Series

San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell will start Game 2 of the Wild-Card Series against the New York Mets on the road on Saturday, the team announced. Right-hander Yu Darvish is getting the ball in the series opener on Friday, while righty Joe Musgrove will most likely toe the rubber in a Game 3 on […]
