Skyy Moore Injured Tuesday

Kansas City Chiefs rookie wide receiver Skyy Moore (hip) left training camp practice early on Tuesday with a hip injury. The severity of the injury is unknown, but Moore was limping noticeably before coming off the field. The second-rounder dealt with a hamstring injury during the offseason program, but he entered training camp 100 percent […]

Matthew Stafford Still Dealing With Elbow Pain

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Monday that quarterback Matthew Stafford (elbow) is still dealing with elbow discomfort, so the team has scaled back his workload in training camp. Stafford was held out of spring workouts due to an elbow issue, and the Rams continue to manage how much work he gets […]

Stephen Ross Suspended, Dolphins Lose Draft Picks

The NFL is docking the Miami Dolphins two draft picks and suspending owner Stephen Ross as a result of the league's tampering allegation. According to PFF's Ari Meirov, the Dolphins will forfeit a first-round pick in next year's draft and a third-round selection in the 2024 NFL draft. Ross will be suspended through Oct. 17 […]

Cardinals Activate Marquise Brown From NFI List

The Arizona Cardinals activated wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) from the Non-Football Injury list on Tuesday. Brown began training camp on the sidelines last week due to a hamstring injury he suffered in private workouts. But his injury was never serious and the Cardinals didn't expect him to miss too much practice time in training […]

Padres Agree On Deal For Juan Soto, Josh Bell

The San Diego Padres and Washington Nationals have agreed in principle on a deal that will send outfielder Juan Soto and first baseman Josh Bell to the Padres, according to sources. ESPN's Jeff Passan is reporting that the Padres will send left-hander MacKenzie Gore, outfielder Robert Hassell III, shortstop C.J. Abrams, outfielder James Wood and […]

Rays In The Mix For Willson Contreras

The Tampa Bay Rays are in the mix, along with the New York Mets, for Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, according to sources. Contreras is a possible fallback option for the San Diego Padres, too, if they cannot land Washington Nationals superstar outfielder Juan Soto. The rebuilding Cubs are almost certain to deal Contreras before […]

Blue Jays Interested In Ian Happ

The Toronto Blue Jays have interest in Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ, whose ability to play center field is valuable in light of George Springer's recent injury. Springer isn't expected to miss significant time or anything, but Happ would give the Blue Jays some high-end insurance at the position. The 27-year-old received his first All-Star […]

Noah Syndergaard Is The Phillies' Top Target

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard is still believed to be the Philadelphia Phillies' top target at the trade deadline. The Phillies scouted Seattle Mariners left-hander Marco Gonzales' start in New York last night, but there's no sign of apparent traction with the Mariners, according to sources. Syndergaard has been solid in his first […]

Zac Gallen, Merrill Kelly Not Going Anywhere

The Arizona Diamondbacks have determined that starting pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly aren't going anywhere at this year's trade deadline. There has been a little interest in veteran left-hander Madison Bumgarner, but nothing serious yet. Gallen has a no-decision in seven of his last outings, but he's been solid for the D-backs all year, […]

Royals Won't Trade Zack Greinke

Kansas City Royals future Hall of Famer Zack Greinke could probably help a contending team this year, but the Royals have decided not to deal him. The rebuilding Royals will keep the 38-year-old veteran around to close out the 2022 season. In 17 starts (87 2/3 innings), Greinke has gone 3-6 with a 4.41 ERA, […]

Twins, Phillies Interested In Tyler Mahle

The Minnesota Twins and Philadelphia Phillies are among the teams interested in Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle, an underrated pitcher that has been very good of late. The rebuilding Reds dealt ace Luis Castillo to the Seattle Mariners last week for a big prospect haul, and they probably aren't done trading before Tuesday's deadline. […]

Padres Likely Landing Spot For Juan Soto, Josh Bell

There is a growing sense that the San Diego Padres are the most likely landing spot for Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto and perhaps first baseman Josh Bell, too, as Tuesday's trade deadline approaches. Multiple people have heard there is momentum in the Padres' talks for Soto and Bell. The Athletic's Jim Bowden reports a […]

Joey Gallo Expected To Be Traded

The New York Yankees are getting interest in outfielder Joey Gallo, according to sources, and it would be something of a surprise if he wasn't traded by Tuesday's 6:00 pm ET deadline. Gallo has really struggled in his second year in the Bronx, so interested teams may be able to land him for pennies on […]

Tarik Skubal Optimistic He'll Make His Next Start

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Tarik Skubal (arm), who left his start early on Monday with left arm fatigue against the Minnesota Twins, is optimistic that he'll be able to make his next start. "I'm going to wake up tomorrow and kind of see where I'm at and then go from there. But my plan is […]

Twins Acquiring Jorge Lopez From Orioles

The Minnesota Twins are finalizing a deal to acquire closer Jorge Lopez from the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday in exchange for left-hander Cade Povich, right-handed reliever Yennier Cano and more prospects from the Complex League, according to sources. The Twins had been using a committee approach to the ninth inning this year, but Lopez will […]

Cardinals Acquire Chris Stratton

The St. Louis Cardinals acquired right-hander Chris Stratton and left-hander Jose Quintana from the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night in exchange for right-hander Johan Oviedo and minor league infielder Malcom Nunez. The main piece of this trade was the veteran Quintana going to St. Louis to bolster their banged-up rotation as they make a run […]

Austin Hooper Putting In Work With Ryan Tannehill

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper made it his personal mission to develop chemistry with quarterback Ryan Tannehill since joining the team. The two have put in extra work during downtime in practice and they are in constant communication after repetitions during team and 7-on-7 periods. Tannehill has complimented Hooper's savvy route-running ability and quickness […]

Rashaad Penny To Be Clear-Cut No. 1 RB

Chris Carson's retirement means that Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny will enter the 2022 season as the team's clear-cut No. 1 option for the first time in his career. But the "as-long-as-he-stays-healthy" qualifier might apply to him more than any player in the NFL given that he's missed 30 of a possible 69 games […]

Tyrion Davis-Price, Jeff Wilson Jr. Could Be Involved Early

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell will get the first crack at keeping his starting job after setting the franchise record for rushing yards by a rookie in 2021. But the team drafted Tyrion Davis-Price in the third round, re-signed Jeff Wilson Jr. and still has JaMycal Hasty and Trey Sermon in the mix. […]

Diontae Johnson "Holding In" During Training Camp

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson still figures to be the top receiver on the team in 2022, but he's going to be catching passes from a new quarterback after Ben Roethlisberger's retirement. Johnson is also missing time early in training camp while "holding in" while looking for a new contract, giving rookies George Pickens […]

Miles Sanders Could Have A Monster Year

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders is the projected starter, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott slated for playing time as well in 2022. Sanders is in a contract year and will be running behind one of the best offensive lines in the league, so the opportunity is there for him to have a monster […]

Breece Hall Expected To Overtake Michael Carter

New York Jets running back Michael Carter is the incumbent after leading the team in rushing as a rookie in 2021, but the sense is that rookie Breece Hall will overtake him at some point this year. Carter ran for 639 rushing yards and 4.3 yards per carry, but he's on the smaller side and […]

Kadarius Toney Has The Highest Ceiling Of Giants WRs

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney is probably the best bet for fantasy production among the team's wideouts this year. Toney is young and explosive and has been on the field this summer after battling injuries in 2021. He was targeted on 29.8% of his routes run in his rookie season, the eighth-highest total […]

Michael Thomas Expected To Be Saints' WR1

ESPN's Mike Triplett expects New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) to be the team's WR1, but his fantasy ceiling is a trickier question since we don't know how long it will take him to return to peak physical form after missing all of the 2021 season due to his ankle injury. Thomas' return […]

James Robinson Still Viewed As Top Back

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said in the spring that the team still views running back James Robinson (Achilles) as the top back, and the team didn't place him on the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin training camp. However, Travis Etienne Jr. will be heavily involved in the passing game and has […]

Brandin Cooks Should Remain Productive

Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks should remain impactful in fantasy despite working with unproven quarterback Davis Mills for a second straight season. In his career, the quarterback hasn't really mattered for Cooks, whether it's been Jared Goff, Tom Brady, Deshaun Watson, Mills, Drew Brees or Tyrod Taylor. He has finished with 1,000 yards or […]

Red Sox Acquire Tommy Pham From Reds

The Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. It's unknown what the Reds are receiving in return. The Red Sox also sent catcher Christian Vazquez to the Houston Astros on Monday, so the Red Sox appear to be trying to walk the buy/sell tightrope this year. It remains to […]

Alex Bregman Placed On Paternity List

The Houston Astros placed third baseman Alex Bregman on the paternity list on Monday and recalled infielder Taylor Jones from Triple-A in a corresponding move. Bregman will be away from the team for up to three days to be with his wife, so fantasy managers need to act accordingly to begin the week. The 28-year-old […]

Christian Vazquez Heading To Astros

The Houston Astros are finalizing a deal to acquire catcher Christian Vazquez from the Boston Red Sox on Monday, according to sources. The Red Sox are playing in Houston on Monday night, so Vazquez will just be switching club houses. Vazquez will serve as Houston's primary backstop the rest of the way, with Martin Maldonado […]

Pete Carroll Tests Positive For COVID-19

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. He's experiencing mild symptoms while at home. Carroll will remain at home and is in communication with his coaching staff with the plan to participate in meetings virtually until he returns to the team's facilities at training camp. Carroll is the NFL's oldest […]
