Braves Sign Alejo Lopez To Minor-League Deal

The Atlanta Braves signed free-agent infielder Alejo Lopez to a minor-league deal. The Cincinnati Reds took Lopez off their 40-man roster in early October, and he opted to become a free agent. He made just one appearance for the Reds in the big leagues this year and has played in 74 big-league games over the […]

Clayton Kershaw Could Have Shoulder Re-Examined

Following the Los Angeles Dodgers' early exit from the postseason via a sweep at the hands of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the National League Division Series, left-hander Clayton Kershaw (shoulder) will have some more decisions to make as to whether he'll return for another season in 2024. He said he will take longer to decide […]

Jackson Holliday Will Have A Shot To Make Opening Day Roster

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday will be with the team in major-league spring training camp next year as he was in 2023, but he'll have a legitimate shot to make the Opening Day roster if he performs well. The 19-year-old is making a case quickly to join the […]

John Means Will Be Fine For Spring Training

Baltimore Orioles general manager Mike Elias said that left-hander John Means' elbow checked out fine and he will be a full-go for the start of spring training next year. Means made his return from Tommy John in 2023 but managed to make only four starts for the Orioles in the regular season, going 1-2 with […]

Mike Evans Still Absent At Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday. However, head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that the important day for Evans would be on Friday to see what he's able to do running during the last practice before the Week 6 home game on Sunday against the […]

Dolphins Think Jeff Wilson Jr. Is Ready

Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith said "yes" when asked if running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (ribs) looks ready to make his 2023 season debut in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers based on practice this week. Wilson was officially limited in practice on Wednesday, opening a 21-day window for the team to officially activate […]

Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins Offense On Pace To Break Records?

The Miami Dolphins offense, led by quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, has been special through the first five weeks of the season. In total, they've racked up 2,568 yards of offense, which is the most for a team in NFL history through five games, passing the Rams' "Greatest Show on Turf" in 2000, which had 2,527 yards […]

Rashaad Penny Puts In Full Practice

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (illness) was able to practice in full for the team's first official practice of the week on Wednesday. Penny was inactive for the Week 5 win over the Los Angeles Rams due to an illness that he picked up on Saturday, but it looks like he's feeling much better […]

Broncos, Frank Clark Likely Moving On Soon

According to sources, linebacker Frank Clark's days with the Denver Broncos are coming to an end. The team will be moving on from Clark soon, via a trade or release. Clark will be the second pass-rusher that the Broncos have parted ways with in recent days after they traded Randy Gregory to the Seattle Seahawks […]

Tyquan Thornton Puts In A Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. The Patriots opened the 21-day window to activate Thornton from Injured Reserve on Tuesday, so if he shows enough in practice the rest of the week, he could be officially activated and make his season debut in Week […]

Ranger Suarez To Start Game 4 Against Braves

Philadelphia Phillies left-hander Ranger Suarez has been tabbed as the team's starter for Game 4 of the National League Division Series in Philadelphia on Thursday against the division-rival Atlanta Braves. The Phillies have a fresh bullpen behind him, too, so they won't be afraid to pull him early if he's not on his game as […]

Gabriel Moreno Leaves Game 3 Early, X-Rays Come Back Negative

Arizona Diamondbacks catcher Gabriel Moreno (hand) was forced to leave Game 3 of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers early on Wednesday after he was hit on the right hand with a foul tip in the fifth inning. However, X-rays came back negative and he was diagnosed with a right-hand contusion. […]

Broncos Ready For A Tear Down?

NFL Network's James Palmer gets the sense from Denver Broncos players in the locker room after their Week 5 loss to the New York Jets that a potential tear down is coming after getting off to a 1-4 start in 2023. It means that changes to this roster could start happening before the trade deadline […]

Broncos Defense Nowhere Near The Fantasy Radar In Week 6

We shouldn't have to tell you this, but a Denver Broncos defense that allowed an eye-opening 70 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3 shouldn't be started in their Week 6 Thursday night matchup against the defending Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs. Despite that embarrassment and the fact they're allowing a league-high 36.2 points […]

Wil Lutz Not A Recommended Kicking Option Versus KC

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz checks in tied for 14th in terms of overall fantasy points at his position through the first five weeks of the season on the back of eight made field goals on nine attempts while going 11 for 12 on his extra-point tries. He hasn't missed a kick since missing a […]

Stay Away From Adam Trautman In Week 6

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman may have scored his first touchdown of the year in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, but he did it on just four receptions for 26 yards. And we certainly can't ignore the fact that he didn't have a single catch on just four targets in […]

Marvin Mims Jr. A Deep-League Dart Throw Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. showed his floor in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets last Sunday, catching his only target for a four-yard pickup. Mims may be leading the Broncos with 246 receiving yards and 24.6 yards per reception in the first five games of his NFL career, […]

Jerry Jeudy Looking For First Statement Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy missed the season opener with a hamstring injury and has really flown under the radar in four games so far in 2023. He's done nothing to stand out, catching 17 of 24 targets for 208 yards (12.2 yards per catch) and no touchdowns. However, Jeudy did catch a season-high […]

Courtland Sutton Looking For Bounce-Back Performance

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had by far his worst game in the first five weeks in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, catching just one pass on three targets for 13 yards. This came after Sutton had found the end zone three times in the first four games of 2023 […]

Jaleel McLaughlin Will Face More Competition For Touches

Denver Broncos undrafted rookie running back Jaleel McLaughlin was a popular waiver-wire pickup last week after Javonte Williams (quadriceps) was hurt in Week 4. Williams didn't play in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, while McLaughlin led the backfield with nine carries for 68 yards while catching three passes for 21 yards […]

Russell Wilson A QB1 Streamer In Thursday Night Matchup

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson didn't have a very great game in the Week 5 loss to the New York Jets, but he has still been a top-10 fantasy QB in terms of overall points through the first five games of 2023. New head coach Sean Payton has definitely had a positive impact on the […]

Demario Douglas Held Out Of Practice

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Douglas suffered a concussion in the 34-0 loss to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 and is now iffy for the Week 6 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, along with fellow wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster […]

Jonnu Smith Dealing With Ankle Injury

Atlanta Falcons tight end Jonnu Smith (ankle) finds himself on the Week 6 injury report with an ankle injury that kept him limited in practice on Wednesday. Smith's status is worth watching as Atlanta heads into a Week 6 tilt against the Washington Commanders at home on Sunday, but as long as he doesn't suffer […]

Keaontay Ingram Listed As Limited In Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back Keaontay Ingram (neck) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice after he missed the last two games with a neck injury. Ingram's status is suddenly more of a story after the Cardinals placed James Conner (knee) on Injured Reserve this week. Rookie Emari Demercado took over lead-back duties after […]

Marquise Brown Out Sick Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness. We'd be surprised if Brown actually misses the Week 6 contest against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, but it would be nice to see him return to practice on Thursday or Friday. The 26-year-old has been quarterback […]

Geno Smith Looks Ready To Roll

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Smith tweaked his knee in the Week 4 win over the New York Giants but he had the bye week to heal up. Head coach Pete Carroll said earlier this week that Smith's knee is "fine," so he's fully expected to […]

DK Metcalf's Rib Injury Not Very Serious

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs), who missed another practice on Wednesday, said it "hasn't been" hard playing through a rib injury he suffered in Week 2. Metcalf has missed some practice time since then, but he said the Seahawks have helped him manage the issue to the point where he doesn't think about […]

Robert Woods Misses Wednesday's Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Robert Woods (ribs) was listed as a non-participant at Wednesday's practice. Woods had to briefly leave the Week 5 loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a rib injury but he eventually returned to finish the game. The Texans are most likely giving the 31-year-old a little bit of extra rest before […]

Mike Evans Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's not what fantasy managers want to see from Evans coming off a bye week after he was injured in the Week 4 win over the New Orleans Saints. Evans still has a couple more days to get on the practice field, […]

Juwan Johnson Still Not On The Practice Field

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (calf) remained a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Johnson lasted played in Week 3 and appears to be in danger of missing his third straight game this weekend against the Houston Texans unless he's able to return to practice in the next two days. The 27-year-old remains on […]
