Left-handed reliever Sean Doolittle announced his retirement from professional baseball on his Twitter account on Friday.

The Cincinnati Bengals are signing quarterback Reid Sinnett to their practice squad on Friday, according to a source.

Elijah Mitchell Gets Involved In Easy Win Over Giants

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan made good on his promise to get running back Elijah Mitchell involved in the game plan after Mitchell didn't play at all in the Week 2 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and was a full participant in practice on Thursday for the first time since suffering the head injury in the season opener, when he went for a game-high nine catches for 81 yards and two touchdowns before getting hurt. Meyers is […]

Josh Allen Likely To Play Sunday For Jaguars

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson said he expects linebacker Josh Allen (shoulder) has progressed well enough to likely play in Week 3 on Sunday against the Houston Texans.

Marvin Mims Jr. Won't Necessarily Have Bigger Role

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had 113 receiving yards and a touchdown by the second quarter of the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders, but he was not targeted after the second of his deep receptions and he only ran three routes in the second half and finished the game with […]

Yusei Kikuchi Lined Up To Start Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Yusei Kikuchi (neck) is listed as the team's probable starter on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays. Kikuchi left his last start early on Tuesday against the New York Yankees with a left upper trapezius cramp, but the 32-year-old southpaw later expressed confidence that he could make his next turn through […]

Danny Jansen Has Cast Removed, Set For Mobility Work

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen (finger) is out of a cast after visiting with his surgeon on Wednesday, although he's now in a splint. His surgery to set and stabilize the bone in his finger has been successful and he can now start doing mobility work with his fingers. However, there's no timeline set […]

Eduardo Rodriguez To Throw Bullpen Friday

Detroit Tigers left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (back), who was removed from his last start with a left-back spasm, will throw a bullpen session on Friday to make sure he can start on Sunday against the Oakland Athletics. "We're not anticipating any problems," manager A.J. Hinch said. While pitching through injury on Sept. 18 against the first-place […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Enters As Pinch-Hitter Against Yanks

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (knee) entered Thursday's 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees as a pinch-hitter and had an RBI groundout. Guerrero hasn't started the last two games due to right-knee pain, but thankfully an MRI exam ruled out any structural damage, so he should be considered day-to-day heading into […]

Broncos Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 3

Coming into the 2023 season, the Denver Broncos defense/special teams was expected to be a top-10 unit under defensive coordinator Vance Joseph. But so far through two games, they've been a pretty big disappointment. They've allowed under 100 yards rushing per game but have given up 249.5 yards per game through the air, have generated […]

Wil Lutz A Volatile Streaming Option At Kicker

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz bounced back in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders after missing a field goal and an extra point in a one-point loss in the season opener. In the loss to Washington, Lutz made both of his field goals and all three of his extra-point tries. Through two games, […]

Adam Trautman Not A Viable Fantasy Starter

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman had an encouraging debut for Denver in Week 1 when he caught all five of his targets for 34 yards after Greg Dulcich left with a hamstring injury. Trautman was expected to have an elevated pass-catching role as the No. 1 TE with Dulcich missing several weeks due to […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Looking For Encore

Nobody expected Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. to do anything in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders with Jerry Jeudy returning from a hamstring injury after the rookie had just two catches for nine yards in the season opener. But lo and behold, Mims caught both of his targets last Sunday for […]

Jerry Jeudy Hoping To Get More Involved Against Miami

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy missed the season opener due to a hamstring injury. In his season debut in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders, he caught three of five targets for 25 yards while playing 68% of the offensive snaps, which ranked second to only Courtland Sutton. Jeudy's snap count should […]

Courtland Sutton A High-Floor WR4/Flex

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has had a pretty good start to the 20232 season, catching nine of his 12 targets for 98 yards and one touchdown through two games. He played a team-high 89% of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders, although both he and Jerry Jeudy […]

Samaje Perine Hard To Trust In Week 3

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine played half of the offensive snaps in the Week 2 loss to the Washington Commanders, but he had only four touches for seven yards to show for it. Fantasy managers envisioned Perine having a much bigger role in Denver's backfield with the team easing Javonte Williams in after his […]

Javonte Williams' Role Should Continue To Grow

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams was expected to be eased into the offense early in 2023 after tearing his ACL and LCL in Week 4 of 2022. He's played exactly 45% of the offensive snaps in two games so far this year and has handled 25 carries for 96 yards (3.8 yards per carry) […]

Russell Wilson Looking For Back-To-Back Strong Games

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson had just 17 fantasy points in the season-opening loss but had his best statistical game with the Broncos in last week's 35-33 loss to the Washington Commanders, putting up 33 fantasy points. After two games, he's averaged 25 fantasy points, which ranks fourth in the NFL at his position. It's […]

Rays Calling Up Junior Caminero

The Tampa Bay Rays are calling up top infield prospect Junior Caminero from Double-A Montgomery, according to sources.

Tyler Biadasz Injured In Practice Thursday

It was a costly practice session for the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, as they lost star cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) to a torn ACL. Pro Bowl center Tyler Biadasz (hamstring) was also hurt and is undergoing an MRI exam to determine the extent of the injury, according to a source. Another source said that "Tyler […]

Zack Martin Returns To Practice

Dallas Cowboys offensive guard Zack Martin (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday.

Laremy Tunsil Practices Again Thursday

Houston Texans Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil (knee) took part in the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day after missing the Week 2 loss to the Indianapolis Colts with a knee injury. The fact that Tunsil has been on the field for two straight days this week bodes well for his […]

Joey Bosa Misses Thursday's Practice

Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa (hamstring) did not take part in practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. While it's a downgrade on paper, it's likely that the Chargers were just resting their star linebacker after he missed two practices last week but still played in the Week […]

Salvon Ahmed Misses Another Practice

Miami Dolphins running back Salvon Ahmed (groin) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Ahmed is trending in the wrong direction to play in the Week 3 contest at home against the Denver Broncos after he suffered a groin injury in the Week 2 Sunday night win over the New England Patriots. Raheem […]

Kendre Miller Puts In Another Full Practice

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) put in his second straight day with a full practice on Thursday.

Taysom Hill Back To Full Practice Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (knee) returned to a full practice participant on Thursday after he was listed as limited to begin the week on Wednesday. After running back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) left Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers with an injury, Hill led the team with 75 rushing yards on nine carries […]
