Free-agent catcher James McCann has received interest from the New York Yankees, New York Mets, St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Angels and Chicago White Sox. The Philadelphia Phillies are also believed to be interest if they lose J.T. Realmuto. McCann had a 144 OPS+ last season and has slashed .276/.334/.474 with 25 home runs and […]

Carson Wentz Has Dropped Off In 2020

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Wentz has seen a huge drop-off in production this year compared to his last three seasons. Wentz had a 98.3 passer rating from 2017-19 and has a 73.4 passer rating in 2020. Since 1950, he's the sixth quarterback, and only one under the age of 30, to have a passer rating […]

The Miami Marlins acquired sidearm reliever Adam Cimber from the Cleveland Indians on Monday in exchange for $100,000. In a corresponding move, the Marlins designated right-hander Jose Urena for assignment.

The Kansas City Royals finalized a one-year, $1.75 million deal with outfielder Michael A. Taylor on Monday. The deal includes up to $1 million in performance bonuses.

Drew Lock, Other Denver QBs Could Be Disciplined

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio is hoping that three of his quarterbacks, including starter Drew Lock, will be cleared on Tuesday from the league's COVID-19 protocols and said that additional discipline is still "on the table" for Lock, Brett Rypien and Blake Bortles. Lock, Rypien and Bortles were deemed high-risk close contacts of Jeff […]

Rams Never Considered Benching Jared Goff

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay called out quarterback Jared Goff for turning the ball over too much in the Week 12 loss to the 49ers, but he later expressed confidence in Goff and said he never considered benching him. Goff threw two interceptions and also lost a fumble. It was the second time […]

Kenny Stills Clears Waivers

Former Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills cleared waivers on Monday and is free to sign with any team. Had the Texans known that receiver Will Fuller V was going to be suspended the rest of the season for performance-enhancing drugs, they might not have waived Stills over the weekend. With Randall Cobb currently injured, […]

Chase McLaughlin Activated From COVID-19 List

The Jacksonville Jaguars activated kicker Chase McLaughlin from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. Wide receiver Trey Quinn (hamstring) was also placed on the practice squad injured list. McLaughlin has only kicked in two games for the Jaguars in 2020, but he's a perfect 3-for-3 on his field-goal tries and 2-for-2 on extra points. However, with […]

Anthony Castonzo Dealing With MCL Sprain

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich confirmed on Monday that left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) is dealing with an MCL sprain, and it's "too early to tell" how much time Castonzo will miss. The 32-year-old should miss time, meaning quarterback Philip Rivers won't have his starting blind-side protector heading into a Week 13 matchup with […]

Bradley Roby Suspended Six Games

Houston Texans cornerback Bradley Roby will miss the rest of the 2020 season after he was suspended for six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Roby's teammate, wide receiver Will Fuller V, was hit with the same suspension on Monday and will also miss the rest of this year. Houston's secondary was […]

Bryce Callahan To Miss Time For Broncos Defense

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) will miss time, but it's too early to say whether he's done for the rest of the season. So the Denver D will at least be without Callahan for the second divisional meeting with the Chiefs in Week 13. The Broncos Defense allowed […]

Phillip Lindsay Could Play In Week 13

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) suffered a minor knee injury in the Week 12 loss to the Saints and could be available to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Chiefs. Lindsay left the game on Sunday after nine carries for only 20 yards. You'll want to […]

Daniel Jones Likely To Miss Time

Updating previous reports, New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) was diagnosed with a hamstring strain that will likely force him to miss some time, according to a source. The Giants will know more later this week when Jones attempts to practice, but there is optimism that he won't be out long. Tests on Monday […]

Broncos Defense Regresses Against Saints

The Denver Broncos Defense was not able to slow down fill-in quarterback Taysom Hill and the New Orleans Saints in the 31-3 blowout loss in Week 12. A week after sacking Dolphins rookie QB Tua Tagovailoa six times and springing the upset on Miami, the Broncos D put up little fight on a day in […]

Brandon McManus Hits Only Field-Goal Attempt

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus gave the team their only points of the day in the Week 12 blowout loss to the Saints by making a season-long 58-yard kick in the 31-3 defeat.

Jerry Jeudy Puts Up Donut In Week 12

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy wasn't alone, but he failed to haul in a pass on his only target in the 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12. On a day when practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton filled in at quarterback due to COVID-19 knocking out the rest of Denver's eligible […]

Tim Patrick Fails To Register A Catch Against Saints

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick had just two targets in the 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12 and failed to catch a single pass. Emergency fill-in quarterback Kendall Hinton attempted just nine passes and completed only one of them, so the entire Broncos passing game was non-existent on Sunday. Patrick should […]

Noah Fant Catches Broncos Lone Pass In Week 12

With Denver Broncos practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton filling in as the team's emergency quarterback in Week 12 against the Saints, tight end Noah Fant caught Hinton's lone completion of the day for 13 yards on two targets. Fantasy managers would've been smart to bench everyone from Denver's offense on this strange day in the […]

Jason Peters Will Play Monday

Philadelphia Eagles veteran offensive lineman Jason Peters (toe) will play on Monday night against the Seahawks despite having a broken and dislocated toe that will require surgery in the offseason, according to a source. However, instead of playing left tackle and protecting quarterback Carson Wentz's blind side, Peters will be moving to guard to help […]

Daniel Jones Avoids Major Injury

Tests on New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) on Monday showed that he avoided a major injury, according to sources. Jones will have an outside chance of playing in Week 13 against the Seahawks, but the team will have a better read on his status when they know if he'll be able to get […]

Adam Gase, Dowell Loggains Splitting Play-Calling For The Jets

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains have been splitting the play-calling duties around 50/50 for around the last four games. The Jets have been more competitive in recent weeks, even with backup quarterback Joe Flacco starting two of the last three games, but the Jets remain the only winless […]

Joe Burrow To Have Surgery This Week

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) will head West this week to have reconstructive knee surgery on his ACL, and the procedure will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. Although there have been varying reports on whether Burrow will be ready to go in Week 1 of the 2021 season, he's […]

K.J. Hamler Has Negative Yardage Sunday

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler was not targeted in the passing game and ran the ball twice for negative-eight yards in the 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12. With Denver's entire quarterback room out due to COVID-19, Hamler and the Broncos offense had zero chance with practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton […]

Melvin Gordon III Posts A Dud Against New Orleans

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III led the team with 12 rushing attempts in the 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12, but he only managed 31 yards (2.6 yards per carry). Fantasy managers would've been wise to bench the entire Broncos offense on a day in which they had a practice-squad […]

Royce Freeman Leads Broncos In Rushing Against Saints

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman surprisingly led the team in rushing in their Week 12 31-3 blowout loss to the Saints on Sunday, carrying the ball eight times for a season-high 50 yards. Almost half of Freeman's yardage came on a 23-yard run. The 24-year-old led the team in rushing on a day in […]

Kendall Hinton Throws More Interceptions Than Completions

Denver Broncos practice-squad wide receiver Kendall Hinton was forced to start at quarterback in Week 12 against the Saints with Drew Lock and the rest of the team's QB room inactive due to COVID-19. As expected, it was an ugly day overall for all of the Broncos offense, including Hinton. The 23-year-old from Wake Forest […]

Myles Garrett On Track For Week 13

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that defensive end Myles Garrett is on track to be cleared by Wednesday.
