Jared Goff, Starters Expected To Play In Preseason Opener

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that he wants to get the starters a quarter's worth of repetitions in Friday's preseason opener against the Atlanta Falcons. While Goff won't be anything more than a low-end QB2 in fantasy, he could have some spike weeks with a receiver corps that includes D.J. Chark, Amon-Ra St. […]

Mekhi Becton Suffers Knee Injury

New York Jets offensive tackle Mekhi Becton (knee) limped off the field in training camp practice on Monday, but head coach Robert Saleh said Becton's knee is stable and doesn't seem like a big deal in terms of severity. However, he'll head for an MRI exam. It's good news that the 23-year-old's knee injury isn't […]

Gus Edwards Doubtful For Week 1

While Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, fellow running back Gus Edwards (knee) is the furthest away and is likely doubtful for Week 1 of the regular season. When healthy, Edwards figures to be the No. 2 behind Dobbins, but it looks like […]

Rashod Bateman Returns To Practice Monday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman returned to training camp practice on Monday after he missed practice on Friday with an undisclosed injury. It never seemed like a very serious, but fantasy managers shouldn't need to worry about the team's No. 1 receiver moving forward. The 22-year-old former first-rounder will have added opportunities in the […]

Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert Listed As Starting RBs

Miami Dolphins running backs Chase Edmonds and Raheem Mostert (knee) are listed as the team's starting running backs on Miami's first official depth chart of training camp.

Baltimore Ravens running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday and is on track to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season against the New York Jets, according to sources.

Jameis Winston Rolls His Ankle Monday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle) rolled his ankle in training camp practice on Monday and is undergoing further evaluation. With Winston leaving, veteran Andy Dalton took over his repetitions in 11-on-11 work. Winston is attempting to return this year from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 8 of last season, so […]

Pharaoh Brown Slimmer This Year

Houston Texans tight end Pharaoh Brown lost 18 pounds this offseason after watching film of himself and deciding that he looked slow and unathletic. "He's listed as a tight end, but he can play in line, he can move out," head coach Lovie Smith said. "It's a tough matchup because he has big wide receiver […]

Taysom Hill Returns To Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (ribs) had a limited training camp practice on Monday and mostly did individual drills. It's all part of head coach Dennis Allen's ramp-up process for Hill, who suffered rib injuries early in training camp. The 31-year-old is making the transition from full-time quarterback to tight end this year, […]

Ravens Agree To Four-Year Extension With Justin Tucker

The Baltimore Ravens reached agreement on a four-year contract extension with kicker Justin Tucker on Monday, which is expected to make him the NFL's highest-paid kicker. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed, but the Pittsburgh Steelers recently signed Chris Boswell for four years and $20 million, so it should be north of that figure. […]

James Robinson Taking Snaps With First-Team Offense

Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson (Achilles) is taking snaps with the first-team offense at training camp practice on Monday for the first time all summer, which seems pretty significant, according to SI.com's John Shipley. Robinson is attempting to come back from a torn Achilles suffered last year, and most of the offseason hype has […]

Aaron Rodgers Won't Play In Preseason Opener

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers won't play in the team's preseason opener on Friday against the San Francisco 49ers. Head coach Matt LaFleur said that Jordan Love will get the start. It's not a big surprise that the 38-year-old future Hall of Famer will be rested in the team's first preseason game, especially after […]

Tyler Linderbaum Has Reoccurrence Of Lisfranc Injury

Baltimore Ravens rookie first-round center Tyler Linderbaum (foot) had a reoccurrence of a Lisfranc injury, suffering a sprain and not a rupture. More tests are coming for the 22-year-old at training camp. There's still a chance that he could be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, but it's not a guarantee at this […]

Baker Mayfield Has Inside Track For Starting Job

Carolina Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield has the inside track on the starting job over Sam Darnold to open the 2022 regular season. Mayfield and Darnold opened training camp in an open competition and have been splitting first-team repetitions pretty much down the middle. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says it's clear that it's Mayfield's job to […]

Christian Kirk Limps Off Field Monday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk limped off the field at training camp practice on Monday with a trainer with an undisclosed injury. We'll get you more details when we know what is ailing Kirk. The 25-year-old didn't suit up for the Hall of Fame game last Thursday against the Las Vegas Raiders, and it […]

Blue Jays Hope To Get Tim Mayza Back This Year

The Toronto Blue Jays are hopeful that they'll get relief pitcher Tim Mayza (shoulder) back near the end of August after he recently suffered a dislocated right shoulder.

Houston Astros starting pitcher Lance McCullers Jr. (forearm) went five innings in his latest minor league rehab start for Triple-A Sugar Land on Sunday, allowing five earned runs on seven hits (two home runs) while walking three and striking out five. It wasn't a great outing for McCullers, and it remains to be seen if […]

Miami Marlins infielder Jon Berti (groin) went 0-for-3 with a walk, two strikeouts and a stolen base while playing third base and hitting leadoff on Sunday in a minor league rehab game for Triple-A Jacksonville.

San Diego Padres shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. (wrist) went 0-for-3 while playing shortstop and batting leadoff for Double-A San Antonio on Sunday in his second minor league rehab game.

David Bell Could Play In Preseason Opener

Cleveland Browns rookie third-round wide receiver David Bell (foot), who returned from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday, won't be ruled out from playing in the team's preseason opener next Friday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "He's really intelligent," head coach Kevin Stefanski said of Bell. "He had a nice spring for us, moved […]

Dameon Pierce Could Earn Lead-Back Role

Houston Texans rookie running back Dameon Pierce has a shot to be the team's lead back in his rookie season. Fantasy managers probably aren't looking closely into Houston's backfield, especially since it could be more of a committee approach in 2022. Veteran Marlon Mack (Achilles) appears healthy and is the favorite to open the year […]

Kadarius Toney Remains Limited At Training Camp

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (knee) was held out of 11-on-11 work in training camp practice on Sunday for the third time in nine practices while coming off an offseason knee procedure. Toney probably has the highest fantasy ceiling of all of New York's receivers in just his second NFL season, but he […]

Commanders Sign Nate Gerry

The Washington Commanders signed free-agent linebacker Nate Gerry to an undisclosed deal on Sunday, according to a source. The former Philadelphia Eagles starter spent time last year with the San Francisco 49ers but didn't play in a regular season game.

Bill Sign Fullback Reggie Gilliam

The Buffalo Bills signed free-agent fullback Reggie Gilliam to a two-year contract extension worth up to $5.2 million on Sunday. The former undrafted free agent was set to be a restricted free agent in 2023. Gilliam isn't worth looking into in fantasy, but he's been a nice real-life player for Buffalo in the last two […]

Giants Starters Expected To Play In Preseason Opener

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said, "I anticipate all of our guys playing Thursday" in the team's preseason opener against the New England Patriots next week. Hopefully for the Giants sake, none of their starters suffer significant injuries after their wide receiver corps was decimated by injuries in 2021. Quarterback Daniel Jones also […]

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt, who is seeking a new contract as he heads into the final year of his current two-year, $13.25 million deal, has requested a trade.
