Yandy Diaz Hitting Leadoff On Friday

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Houston Astros and left-hander Framber Valdez, serving as the designated hitter and batting leadoff.

Yordan Alvarez Returns To Lineup Friday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (ankle) is back in the starting lineup on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays and right-hander Drew Rasmussen, serving as the designated hitter and batting third in the lineup.

Francisco Alvarez Making MLB Debut Against Braves

The New York Mets have called up catching prospect Francisco Alvarez, and he's making his major-league debut on Friday against the Atlanta Braves and left-hander Max Fried.

Matt Carpenter Has A Chance To Play Next Week

New York Yankees infielder Matt Carpenter (foot) took batting practice on the field on Friday and is hitting in the cages.

DJ LeMahieu Starting At Third Base Friday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (toe) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday and is starting at third base and hitting fifth against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Jordan Lyles. It's a bit of a surprise that the 34-year-old is back in the lineup right away, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect him […]

Trevor Stephan Records His Third Save

Cleveland Guardians relief pitcher Trevor Stephan came in to secure his third save of the season on Thursday in the 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He didn't allow a hit or a run in his one-inning of work in the ninth frame, walking three and striking out two. It wasn't a clean outing […]

Enyel De Los Santos Picks Up Another Win Against Rays

Cleveland Guardians right-handed reliever Enyel De Los Santos remained perfect on the season and picked up his fifth win of the year in a close 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday. De Los Santos didn't allow a run or a hit while walking none and striking out two batters in his one […]

Mitch Haniger Pops A Pair Of Home Runs

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mitch Haniger helped his team beat the Texas Rangers 10-9 in a downright offensive explosion by both teams on Thursday. Haniger managed to go 2-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, two runs scored and three strikeouts in the exciting contest. He was the definition of boom and bust for fantasy managers, […]

Jarred Kelenic Goes Yard Twice Against Rangers

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jarred Kelenic was one of the big bats in an offensive explosion between the Mariners and Texas Rangers on Thursday. Kelenic went 2-for-5 with two long balls, three RBI, three runs scored and two strikeouts in the 10-9 win over Texas. The 23-year-old left-handed slugger is hitting just .157/.222/.357 with seven home […]

Marcus Semien Hits Two Homers Thursday

Texas Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien went 2-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI, two runs scored and two strikeouts in Thursday's 10-9 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

Willson Contreras Not Starting Friday

Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Cincinnati Reds. Contreras appears to just be getting a normal day of rest to start the weekend series against Cincinnati. The 30-year-old All-Star backstop has played in just three games in September due to injury and has gone 2-for-12 with […]

Patrick Corbin To Make One More Start Sunday

Washington Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin (back) will make one more start in 2022 on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Corbin left his last start early on Sept. 20 with back spasms and had his next start skipped, but he'll return this weekend to make his final start of an absolutely brutal season. The 33-year-old southpaw […]

Drew Smyly To Start Saturday

Chicago Cubs left-hander Drew Smyly (shoulder) will make the start on Saturday against the Cincinnati Reds. Smyly has been unavailable for a few weeks due to left shoulder fatigue, but he'll return to make one last start in 2022 against the Reds. The 33-year-old southpaw has been solid for the Cubbies this year in his […]

Myles Garrett, Jadeveon Clowney Questionable For Week 4

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that pass-rushers Myles Garrett (biceps, shoulder) and Jadeveon Clowney (ankle) are both questionable to play in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons. Neither player was on the practice field on Friday. Garrett was involved in a scary car accident on Monday and hasn't practiced this week while dealing […]

Chris Godwin, Julio Jones To Be Game-Time Decisions

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) will be game-time decisions in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. With Tampa's game on Sunday night this week, it makes both Godwin and Jones extremely risky fantasy options. Godwin and Jones both […]

Dak Prescott Still Not Throwing

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) is still dealing with some swelling, and throwing a football isn't in his plans on Friday. McCarthy isn't sure when Prescott will resume throwing a football. Prescott will miss his third straight game in Week 4 against the Washington Commanders, but he's eyeing […]

DJ Chark Good To Go

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that wide receiver DJ Chark (ankle) is good to go for the Week 4 game against the Seattle Seahawks. And with Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) already ruled out for Sunday's game, Chark could operate as the Lions' top pass-catcher alongside Josh Reynolds in this one. The 26-year-old put […]

Gabe Davis Aggravates Ankle, Still Expected To Play

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Gabe Davis (ankle) aggravated his ankle injury in practice this week, but that "he's on schedule to go" in the Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Davis will most likely be listed as questionable on the team's final injury report for this weekend, but […]

Jarvis Landry Questionable For Week 4

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) is questionable to play in London for the Week 4 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Landry missed practice to open the week on Wednesday but was then limited each of the last two days, giving him a pretty good chance to suit up on Sunday. Fellow wideout […]

Alvin Kamara Given Another Questionable Tag

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (rib) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings in London, but he's considered likely to play. NewOrleans.Football's Nick Underhill thinks that quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back, hip) being doubtful to play will be "great news" for Kamara's fantasy upside this weekend […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. "Probably A Game-Time Decision"

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) is "probably a game-time decision" in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals. Shenault is officially listed as questionable on the final injury report. The 23-year-old was limited in Friday's practice after missing Thursday's session, so he at least has a chance […]

Christian McCaffrey Listed As Questionable

The Carolina Panthers are listing running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) as questionable to play in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals due to his quadriceps injury. McCaffrey's injury woes continue, although he will reportedly give it a shot on Sunday. The 26-year-old missed the first two practices of the week before returning to a limited […]

Broncos Defense Has Been Stingy

The Denver Broncos defense is the reason why the team has a winning record through the first three games. They are currently ranked third in total yards allowed per game (251.3) and second in points allowed per game (12.0), but they haven't faced any real potent offenses yet in the Seahawks, Texans and 49ers. Despite […]

Brandon McManus A Borderline Starting Kicker This Week

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus disappointed in the Week 3 win over the San Francisco 49ers, making just one of his two field-goal tries while not being afforded an extra-point attempt. He should be much busier in a Week 4 meeting against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, but he's also a roll of the dice […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Not A Realistic TE Streamer

Fantasy managers should be avoiding Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam as a tight end streamer in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game (13.8) to the tight end position through the first three weeks of the season, but Okwuegbunam just hasn't been involved enough […]

KJ Hamler Searching For His First Catch

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler enters the Week 4 contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders still searching for his first catch of the 2022 season. Hamler failed to haul in his only target in the season opener while playing 61 percent of the offensive snaps. He was inactive due to knee and hip […]

Jerry Jeudy Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 4

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy came out of the gates hot in the season opener, catching four of seven targets for 102 yards and a touchdown after failing to find the end zone all of last year. But since then he's fallen flat, catching three of nine targets for only 28 yards in the […]

Courtland Sutton Remains A Must-Start WR2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to receiver through the first three weeks of the 2022 season, and he leads the team in receptions (19), targets (28) and receiving yards (291) despite not finding the end zone yet. Even though the Broncos offense has yet to really get much going […]

Javonte Williams Could Break Out Against Raiders

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams has underwhelmed so far for fantasy managers through the first three weeks of the season, and he has just three more carries than backfield mate Melvin Gordon III. Williams has been more efficient, though, racking up 176 yards on the ground (4.8 yards per carry). He's also second on […]

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 […]
