Justin Herbert Officially Questionable For Week 3

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Backup Chase Daniel took first-team repetitions on Friday. Herbert was throwing on Tuesday, did individual drills on Wednesday and was spotted throwing on Thursday, which is great news. But the biggest question will be […]

Nelson Cruz Still Not Playing

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Miami Marlins. Cruz is limping to the finish line in 2022 and hasn't played in the last eight games due to left eye inflammation. Fantasy managers should consider the aging slugger to be day-to-day. The 42-year-old Dominican DH […]

C.J. Cron Continues To Sit With Hand Injury

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (hand) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the San Diego Padres. Cron will miss his second straight game after leaving Wednesday's contest early when he was hit by a pitch on his left hand. Consider him day-to-day for now. The 32-year-old has been an excellent source […]

Joey Wendle Expects To Return This Season

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) will resume running on Friday and said he expects to return this season despite going on the injured list for a hamstring injury.

Jose Altuve Back In Action Friday

Houston Astros second baseman Jose Altuve (elbow) is back at second base and is leading off on Friday against the Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Dean Kremer.

Yandy Diaz Still Out Of The Lineup

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (shoulder) remains out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Toronto Blue Jays.

In his absence, Isaac Paredes will […]

Brandon Marsh Returns Against Braves

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Brandon Marsh (knee) is back in center field and is batting sixth on Friday against the Atlanta Braves and right-hander Jake Odorizzi. Marsh suffered a bruised left knee while attempting to make a catch at the wall on Tuesday, but he's back in the lineup to begin a weekend series against Atlanta. […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Out On Friday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (back) is not in the team's starting lineup on Friday against the Philadelphia Phillies. Acuna missed the game on Thursday with mid-back tightness and will now miss his second straight game. It remains to be seen if he'll be available at all this weekend against Philadelphia, but fantasy managers […]

Luis Cessa Starting On Friday

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Luis Cessa will make the start on Friday against the Milwaukee Brewers after the team placed left-hander Mike Minor (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list.

Mike Minor Lands On Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds placed left-hander Mike Minor (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list on Friday with left shoulder soreness and reinstated right-hander Connor Overton (back) from the 60-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Ricky Tiedemann was named the team's Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2022. The 20-year-old southpaw dominated at three different levels this year, finishing with a combined 5-4 record, 2.17 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 117 strikeouts and 29 walks in 78 2/3 innings over 18 starts with Single-A Dunedin, High-A Vancouver […]

Julio Rodriguez Likely Heading To Injured List

Seattle Mariners rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) is likely heading to the injured list after he left the game early on Thursday with more lower back tightness. Rodriguez was headed for an MRI exam Friday after he missed three games last weekend with the same issue. Manager Scott Servais said Thursday night that he was […]

Craig Kimbrel Could Be Losing Closer's Role

Los Angeles Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts was as non-committal as he's been all year about closer Craig Kimbrel's usage in the ninth inning after the 3-2 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. Roberts noted Kimbrel's stuff has "started to backslide" and repeated that the team needs to have "our best" in those spots […]

Zac Gallen Dominates Dodgers In No-Decision

Arizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Zac Gallen put forth his best effort on Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers but was unable to come away with a win in the 3-2 loss.

Well's injured list move is retroactive to Sept. 20. The 28-year-old will be eligible to return for the final day of the regular season, […]

James Conner To Be A Game-Time Decision Against Rams

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. It makes Conner a pretty risky fantasy option this week with the game being on the later slate on Sunday. If the 27-year-old misses the contest, Darrel Williams […]

Julio Jones Expected To Be Game-Time Decision In Week 3

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) will probably be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers. Jones didn't play in the Week 2 win over the division-rival New Orleans Saints and could be out for a second straight game. With the Bucs playing […]

Cedrick Wilson Jr. Likely To Be Game-Time Decision

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. (ribs) is likely to be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills. "Ced wants to play. We want him to play," head coach Mike McDaniel said. "We will take that up until game time." The good news is that Wilson will get some work in […]

Romeo Doubs To Have Bigger Role In Week 3?

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs is "going to have to take more of a load this week." Receivers Allen Lazard (ankle), Randall Cobb (illness), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) could all be questionable to play in Week 3 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this […]

Broncos Defense A Borderline Starting Option In Week 3

The Denver Broncos defense has allowed just 26 points (third-fewest in the NFL) through the first two weeks, albeit against below-average offenses of the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans. In Week 3 on Sunday night they'll be going against a San Francisco 49ers offense that has scored only 18.5 points per game, and they're now […]

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.

Dak Prescott Will Be Starter When 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 […]
