Bears Not An Easy Matchup For QBs With Healthy Secondary

The Chicago Bears defense allowed nearly 23 points per game to opposing quarterbacks over the first five weeks of the 2023 season, but as their secondary has gotten healthier, they've flipped the script of late. Since their tough start, the Bears defense has allowed fewer than 13 points a week to opposing signal-callers, with just […]

Broncos Defense Has Stiffened Up

The Denver Broncos defense famously allowed 70 points to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. But since then, they've turned things around and are allowing fewer than two touchdowns per game, which is good enough to place inside the top 10 in the league. They're still allowing league-highs in points per game (27.6), total yards […]

Seahawks Not Such A Great Matchup For Opposing Receivers Now

The Seattle Seahawks were a great matchup for opposing wide receivers earlier in the season, but they've stiffened up of late.

Dallas Goedert May Not Miss More Than Three Weeks

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he has "high hopes" that tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) won't miss more than three weeks.

The Pittsburgh Steelers plan to activate tight end Pat Freiermuth (hamstring) from Injured Reserve before they depart for Cleveland on Saturday, according to a source.

Javonte Williams Has RB1 Upside For Sunday Night

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams looks to finally be getting his legs under him after suffering a season-ending knee injury early last year. The Broncos eased him in early on in 2023, but things have noticeably changed in the last two games, as Williams has 48 rushing attempts for 164 yards (3.42 yards per […]

Russell Wilson A QB2 On Sunday Night Against Vikings

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has looked much better under head coach Sean Payton in his second year in Denver, completing 67.9% of his passes for 1,806 yards, 18 touchdowns and only four interceptions for a league-best 6.9 touchdown percentage.

Kyle Lewis Non-Tendered By Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks non-tendered outfielder Kyle Lewis on Friday, making him a free agent this offseason. Lewis, the former 11th overall pick by the Seattle Mariners in 2016, was looking like a future star when he won the American League Rookie of the Year in the shortened 2020 season by hitting .262 (54-for-206) with 11 […]

Tigers Let Austin Meadows Go

The Detroit Tigers non-tendered outfielder Austin Meadows and right-handers Brenan Hanifee, Garrett Hill, Freddy Pacheco and Spencer Turnbull on Friday, making them all free agents. 2023 was a lost season for Meadows, as he battled anxiety issues and managed to play in only six games at the major-league level. Meadows made the All-Star team in […]

The Milwaukee Brewers non-tendered first baseman Rowdy Tellez on Friday, according to a source familiar with the situation. The move sends Tellez to the free-agent market this offseason.

Nick Senzel Non-Tendered By Reds

Cincinnati Reds outfielder/infielder Nick Senzel, who was the former No. 2 overall draft pick in 2016, was non-tendered by the Reds on Friday, according to a source.

Mike Yastrzemski, Austin Slater Re-Sign With Giants

The San Francisco Giants re-signed outfielders Mike Yastrzemski and Austin Slater on Friday to avoid salary arbitration. Yastrzemski's deal will be for one year and $7.9 million for the 2024 season, while Slater signed for $4 million.

Joe Flacco Not Expected To Sign With Browns On Friday

Following a workout with the Cleveland Browns, free-agent quarterback Joe Flacco is not expected to sign with the team on Friday, according to a source.

Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl tight end Mark Andrews (ankle, leg) suffered a cracked fibula and a ligament injury to his ankle in Thursday night's win over the Cincinnati Bengals, according to sources after he underwent an MRI exam.

Royals Land Nick Anderson In Trade With Braves

The Kansas City Royals acquired relief pitcher Nick Anderson from the Atlanta Braves on Friday in exchange for cash considerations, according to a source.

Brewers Acquire Jake Bauers From Yankees

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired first baseman/outfielder Jake Bauers from the New York Yankees on Friday in exchange for outfielders Jace Avina and Brian Sanchez.

Ryan Tannehill Removed From Week 11 Injury Report

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was a full practice participant all week and has been removed from the final Week 11 injury report on Friday.

Michael Wilson Added To Injury Report, Questionable Against Texans

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Michael Wilson (shoulder) was added to the Week 11 injury report on Friday and is now questionable to face the Houston Texans on Sunday after being limited in practice.

Emari Demercado, Zach Pascal Ruled Out For Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver Zach Pascal (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 11 against the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Nico Collins Returning To Action Against Cardinals

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (calf) will play in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after missing last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. In other receiver news for the Texans, Noah Brown (knee) will sit out this weekend, so Collins, rookie Tank Dell and veteran Robert Woods (foot) should start in […]
