Jaguars Not Optimistic About James Robinson

The Jacksonville Jaguars don't sound optimistic that running back James Robinson (heel), who is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Buffalo Bills, will play Sunday, according to a source. However, the Jaguars will put him through pre-game warmups before making a final decision. If you were planning on starting Robinson, you'll obviously need […]

Corey Seager Will Receive Qualifying Offer

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager will receive a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer, but as one of the premium shortstops available on the free-agent market this winter, he will turn it down. If Seager departs via free agency, the Dodgers would receive draft-pick compensation. According to The Athletic's Keith Law, Seager is the No. […]

Craig Kimbrel A Trade Candidate

The Chicago White Sox exercised their $16 million team option on relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel for next year, but he could be on the move with All-Star closer Liam Hendriks still in the fold as the team's ninth-inning guy. With this year's free-agent class of relievers lacking elite closing options, Kimbrel could be at a […]

Trevor Story To Receive Qualifying Offer

As expected, the Colorado Rockies will be extending a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to shortstop Trevor Story. The Rockies will now be able to get some draft-pick compensation when Story inevitably leaves as a free agent. He'll be one of the five premium shortstops on the open market this winter despite having a subpar […]

Steven Matz Turns Down Extension Offer

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Steven Matz recently turned down a contract extension offer from the team. With the Blue Jays deciding not to extend a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to Matz, he is headed towards free agency this winter. He was terrible in 30 2/3 innings for the New York Mets in 2020, […]

Robbie Ray Receives Qualifying Offer

The Toronto Blue Jays are extending a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to left-hander Robbie Ray on Saturday. Ray, who is coming off a career season and has a chance to win his first Cy Young award, is surely to decline the offer and cash in on the open market. The 30-year-old southpaw went 13-7 […]

Jays Extend Qualifying Offer To Marcus Semien

The Toronto Blue Jays extended a one-year, $18.4 million qualifying offer to second baseman Marcus Semien on Saturday. The middle infielder will become a free agent if he rejects the offer. Semien had an excellent season in Toronto in 2021, slashing .265/.334/.538 with 45 home runs, 102 RBI and 15 stolen bases, so he's likely […]

Michael Conforto, Noah Syndergaard Receive Qualifying Offers

The New York Mets extended qualifying offers to both outfielder Michael Conforto and starting pitcher Noah Syndergaard on Saturday for one year and $18.4 million. Syndergaard has missed the majority of the last two seasons after having Tommy John surgery in 2020 and experiencing a setback due to elbow inflammation. But before his injury, he […]

Astros Make Offer To Carlos Correa

The Houston Astros reportedly offered free-agent shortstop Carlos Correa $160 million for five years, according to sources. That would be less than half of what Francisco Lindor got from the New York Mets when Lindor wasn't even a free agent. Unless something changes dramatically, Correa won't be making a return to Houston in 2022. Correa […]

DeSean Jackson Talking With Seven Teams

Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver DeSean Jackson has cleared waivers and has started discussions with seven teams. Jackson figures to land with a new team soon, but he's currently going through all of his options. The 34-year-old has no plans to retire and wants to continue playing in the NFL for a contender. Jackson […]

Eagles Activate Tyree Jackson From Injured Reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles activated tight end Tyree Jackson (back) from Injured Reserve on Saturday and also elevated running back Jordan Howard and wide receiver John Hightower from the practice squad to the active roster. Jackson has yet to appear in an NFL game, but the Eagles have high hopes for him in the future. There's […]

Mitchell Trubisky Lands On COVID-19 List

The Buffalo Bills placed quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Saturday. Trubisky will miss the Week 9 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, so the Bills will need to add another QB to their active roster to serve as Josh Allen's backup in Week 9 on Sunday. Davis Webb is currently the only signal-caller […]

Ben Roethlisberger Will Play Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (shoulder), who popped up on the team's injury report on Friday with a shoulder injury, will play on Monday night against the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Big Ben was taken off the final injury report on Saturday after getting in a full practice, […]

Tyrod Taylor Officially Activated, Will Start Against Miami

The Houston Texans officially activated quarterback Tyrod Taylor (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday, and he is in line to start in Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins. Taylor's return means rookie Davis Mills will head back to the bench. In a corresponding move, linebacker Christian Kirksey (thumb) was placed on IR after having thumb […]

Sam Darnold Clears Concussion Protocol, Still Questionable

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) has cleared the league's concussion protocol, but he remains questionable due to a shoulder injury and is expected to be a game-time decision in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. Darnold got off to a decent start in his first season in Carolina, but he's looked much more […]

George Kittle, Jeff Wilson Jr., Robbie Gould Activated

The San Francisco 49ers officially activated tight end George Kittle (calf) and kicker Robbie Gould (groin) from Injured Reserve and activated running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee) from the Physically Unable to Perform list on Saturday. In corresponding moves, the team placed defensive end Dee Ford on IR and waived defensive lineman Zach Kerr. Linebacker […]

Kyler Murray Won't Play If He Can't Play At High Level In Pocket

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle), who will be a game-time decision in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers, will not play on Sunday unless he can function at a "high level" from the pocket, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray's left ankle sprain has been progressing, but he didn't practice all week. […]

Khalil Mack To Miss Another Game

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (foot) has been ruled out for his second straight game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. Defensive back Eddie Jackson (hamstring) is also doubtful to play, while linebacker Alec Ogletree (ankle) is questionable after missing practice all week. There were reports that Mack might land on Injured Reserve, but […]

Darnell Mooney Questionable For Monday Night

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (groin) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Saturday and is questionable for Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. Mooney popped up on the injury report on Friday with an injury that he's been dealing with off and on in 2021. The 24-year-old […]

Good Chance That David Montgomery Plays On Monday

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that "there's a really good chance" that running back David Montgomery (knee) is activated from Injured Reserve and plays on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bears could use him back with Damien Williams (knee) already ruled out for Week 9. Montgomery has been on IR since […]

Panthers Activate Christian McCaffrey From Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers activated running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Saturday with hopes that he'll play in Week 9 against the New England Patriots. McCaffrey will go through a pre-game workout just to be sure. It's great news that McCaffrey is coming off IR after being out since Week 3, but now […]

White Sox Exercise Craig Kimbrel's Option

As expected, the Chicago White Sox exercised their $16 million team option on relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel on Saturday, according to a source familiar with the situation. Kimbrel had a huge bounce-back season in 2021 after he had a 5.28 ERA while walking 7.0 hitters per nine innings in 18 appearances over 15 1/3 innings […]

Broncos Defense Trending Down After Trade Of Von Miller

The Denver Broncos defense did finally create two turnovers in the Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team, but they head into a Week 9 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys -- an offense that leads the league in yards per game -- after just trading All-Pro pass-rusher Von Miller to the Los Angeles Rams. […]

Brandon McManus - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus finally missed his first kick of the 2021 season in the Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team. Accuracy hasn't been the problem for him this year, it's been Denver's lack of efficiency on offense, mainly in converting third downs to sustain drives into enemy territory. The Broncos are […]

Browns Put Jack Conklin On Injured Reserve

The Cleveland Browns placed right tackle Jack Conklin (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Saturday and activated fullback Andy Janovich and center Nick Harris from IR in corresponding moves. Conklin is expected back this season, but he'll now be forced to miss the team's next three games after dislocating his left elbow in the Week 8 […]

Tim Patrick - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Don't count on Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick leading the team in receiving in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys like he did last week against the Washington Football Team when he caught all three of his targets for 64 yards. At best, he's a WR4/flex consideration in deeper leagues, even with tight end […]

Jerry Jeudy - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy made his return last Sunday for the first time since suffering a high ankle sprain in Week 1, and he caught all four of his targets for 39 yards against the Washington Football Team. On the bright side, he led the team in catches. However, no Broncos pass-catcher had […]

Courtland Sutton - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton did not have a good game in Jerry Jeudy's return from a high ankle sprain in the Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team, catching two of his four targets for only 40 yards. However, no Broncos player had more than four targets with quarterback Teddy Bridgewater spreading […]

Javonte Williams - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The Denver Broncos rushing attack will have their work cut out for them in Week 9 against a Dallas Cowboys defense that is allowing only 88.6 rushing yards per game this season. And if the Broncos fall behind early to one of the best offenses in the NFL, they could be forced to abandon the […]

Melvin Gordon III - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon had a two-touchdown game in the Week 8 win over the Washington Football Team, but he once again narrowly out-snapped and out-touched rookie Javonte Williams. The Broncos are unlikely to punish Gordon for a late lost fumble, though, so expect both backs to continue alternating offensive series this Sunday […]
