The Chicago White Sox acquired starting pitcher Lance Lynn from the Texas Rangers early Tuesday morning in exchange for 25-year-old right-hander Dane Dunning and left-handed pitching prospect Avery Weems, according to sources.

Pittsburgh Steelers inside linebacker Robert Spillane (knee) suffered a left knee injury in the Monday night loss to the Washington Football Team in the third quarter and is expected to miss time, according to a source.

Browns Claim Marvin Hall Off Waivers

The Cleveland Browns claimed wide receiver Marvin Hall off waivers from the Lions on Monday. Hall was cut by Detroit over the weekend and has found a new home quickly.

Darrynton Evans Back From Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans activated rookie running back Darrynton Evans (hamstring) from Injured Reserve on Monday and also activated offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson from the suspended list. The NFL's leading rusher resides on the Titans in Derrick Henry, so Evans has seen very little work in his first season in the league. The 22-year-old third-round pick […]

Cowboys Put Zack Martin On Injured Reserve

The Dallas Cowboys placed offensive guard Zack Martin (calf) on Injured Reserve on Monday. Martin suffered his calf injury in the Thanksgiving loss to the Washington Football Team and will now have to miss the next three games, putting his availability in question for the rest of the season. It's more bad news for running […]

Joe Haden Injured Monday

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joe Haden (concussion) left late in the Monday night loss to the Washington Football Team and did not return to the game. Haden will need to be cleared from the league's concussion protocol this week in order to play on Sunday night in Week 14 against the Bills. The 31-year-old veteran is […]

Broncos Defense Slows Down The Chiefs In Week 13

The Denver Broncos Defense looked really impressive in the Week 13 Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs and their exciting and high-scoring offense. In their first meeting in Week 7, Denver allowed 40-plus points in the snow, so this was certainly an improvement against the defending Super Bowl champions. It was even more impressive […]

Brandon McManus Misses Second Field Goal Of The Season

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus made a 53-yard field goal in the 22-16 Week 13 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night, but he also missed just his second field-goal attempt on the year -- a 57-yard try at the end of the first half. He made his only extra point in the contest. Despite […]

Jerry Jeudy Hits Rock Bottom In Week 13

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was touted as the best route-running wideout in the 2020 draft class. Jeudy no doubt is impressive in that aspect for a young player, but quarterback Drew Lock's regression in his second season has hurt the rookie's fantasy value. The 21-year-old had just one catch on four targets […]

K.J. Hamler Catches Just Two Passes Sunday

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler did very little in the 22-16 loss to the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night. The rookie caught only two of his five targets for 16 yards in the contest. Hamler also added two carries for 13 yards in the second loss of the season to Kansas City. The […]

Tim Patrick Scores Twice In Loss To KC

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick scored the team's only two touchdowns in the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday night. Patrick was efficient, too, catching all four of his targets for 44 yards. The 27-year-old has been a nice story for the Broncos this year as their most reliable pass-catcher to help […]

Noah Fant Leads Broncos In Receiving Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant led the team with 57 receiving yards by catching four of his team-leading seven targets in the 22-16 Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs. While Fant's fantasy managers would've liked more, it was his second time going over 50 receiving yards in the last three games. The second-year […]

Phillip Lindsay Puts Up Another Dud

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay has been dropped in most fantasy leagues as the second fiddle to Melvin Gordon III in Denver's backfield. Lindsay saw double-digit carries (14) for just the third time this year in the Sunday night loss to the division-rival Chiefs, but he totaled only 26 rushing yards (1.86 yards per […]

Melvin Gordon III Carries The Offense Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III looked excellent in the 22-16 loss to the division-rival Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. Gordon carried the ball 15 times for a season-high 131 rushing yards (8.73 yards per attempt) while also adding one catch for 11 yards. It was a great performance and allowed Denver […]

Drew Lock Throws Two More Picks Sunday Night

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock returned to action in Week 13 against the Chiefs on Sunday night after sitting out in Week 12 due to COVID-19 protocols. Lock did throw two touchdown passes in the 22-16 loss, but he was 15-for-28 for 151 yards and two more interceptions. It was the first time he's been […]

Ravens Activate Lamar Jackson From COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens activated quarterback Lamar Jackson from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, and he will play on Tuesday against the Cowboys. This comes as music to fantasy managers' ears if you were planning on using Jackson as your QB for the Week 13 slate of games. With Robert Griffin III (hamstring) going on Injured […]

Trent Brown Activated From COVID-19 List

The Las Vegas Raiders are activating offensive tackle Trent Brown from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday, according to a source. In a corresponding move, the team is releasing defensive tackle Daniel Ross, with plans to put Ross on the practice squad in order to have him active on game day. Brown has missed the last […]

Christian McCaffrey Expected To Play In Week 14

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (shoulder) is expected to return in Week 14 against the Broncos after having the bye week to rest up, according to head coach Matt Rhule. McCaffrey missed the last three games with the shoulder ailment but should be pretty close to 100 percent healthy this weekend against Denver. It's […]

Curtis Samuel Goes On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers have placed eight players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday after coming off their bye week, and wide receiver Curtis Samuel is one of them. Samuel was deemed a high-risk close contact, so he'll have to test negative this week in order to be cleared to play in Week 14 against the […]

Buccaneers Waiving Jaydon Mickens

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are waiving wide receiver/kick returner Jaydon Mickens on Monday, according to a source. Mickens has been productive for the team this year, catching seven passes and returning 21 kicks/punts. The 26-year-old hasn't played since Week 9, though, and had just 58 receiving yards on his seven receptions this season. Mickens didn't […]

Chargers Not Ready To Fire Anthony Lynn

The Los Angeles Chargers were shut out in their Week 13 loss to the Patriots, but no head-coaching change is imminent, according to sources.

Phillies Not Looking To Trade Zack Wheeler

Philadelphia Phillies managing general partner John Middleton said that the team isn't looking to trade starting pitcher Zack Wheeler. "If they offered me Babe Ruth, I wouldn't trade him," Middleton said angrily in a phone conversation, adding Ted Williams and Mike Schmidt to Ruth's name for good measure. Middleton said there is no truth to […]

D.J. Moore Going On COVID-19 List

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore is among the players being added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list with the team coming off their bye week, according to a source informed of the situation. It's unknown if Moore tested positive for the virus or if he was deemed a high-risk close contact to someone who did. Regardless, […]

Giants Optimistic That Daniel Jones Will Play This Week

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said the team will give quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) "every opportunity" to play in Week 14 against the Cardinals. There is optimism in the organization that Jones will be able to return after missing the Week 13 upset win over the Seahawks. Backup Colt McCoy effectively played the […]

Darius Slay's Injury Isn't Serious

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (knee) left the team's Week 13 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he's not believed to have suffered a serious injury, according to a source. It's good news for an Eagles secondary that will have a tall task against the Saints in Week 14. If Slay can […]

Jets Fire Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams

The New York Jets fired defensive coordinator Gregg Williams on Monday, according to sources. It comes a day after Williams called a zero blitz against the Raiders in a hail-mary situation with the game on the line in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. That play call backfired catastrophically, as the Raiders threw a […]

Le'Raven Clark Could Be Lost For The Season

The preliminary diagnosis on Indianapolis Colts offensive lineman Le'Raven Clark (Achilles) is that he suffered a torn Achilles in the Week 13 win over the Texans, according to a source. Clark will have an MRI exam on Monday to confirm the diagnosis. It would be a big loss for the team's offensive line, as Clark […]

Eagles Haven't Decided A Starting QB For Week 14

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said on Monday that he hasn't decided on the team's starting quarterback for Week 14 against the Saints after Carson Wentz was benched for rookie Jalen Hurts in the Week 13 loss to the Packers. Wentz went 6-for-15 for 79 yards while running the ball three times for 18 […]

Mitch Haniger Avoids Arbitration

The Seattle Mariners and outfielder Mitch Haniger avoided salary arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, non-guaranteed $3.01 million deal on Saturday, according to sources.
