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. The 20-year-old will make the jump to the big leagues from Double-A, where he was hitting an impressive .309/.373/.548 with a .921 OPS, 20 home runs, 62 RBI, nine doubles, three triples, three stolen bases and 55 […]

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. Martin left the team's Week 2 win over the New York Jets with an ankle injury, but it appears that he'll have a chance to suit up this Sunday when the team faces the Cardinals in […]

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. The Saints were fully expecting Miller to return to full practices this week after he missed the first two games of the season, but he's on track to make his NFL debut this Sunday […]

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 […]

Jamaal Williams Trending In The Wrong Direction

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams (hamstring) was not spotted at the team's practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Williams was injured in Monday night's win over the Carolina Panthers and is expected to miss some time. Fantasy managers that have used him in their starting lineups for the first two weeks […]

Sandy Alcantara Tosses Four Scoreless Innings In Rehab Start

Miami Marlins right-hander Sandy Alcantara (forearm) looked good in his minor-league rehab start for Triple-A Jacksonville on Thursday, tossing four scoreless innings while giving up just one hit, walking none and striking out four. Alcantara is attempting to return to the Marlins after suffering a UCL sprain in his right arm. The Fish are hoping […]

Paul DeJong Released Thursday

The San Francisco Giants placed shortstop Paul DeJong on unconditional release waivers on Thursday and recalled infielders Marco Luciano and Tyler Fitzgerald from Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. Brandon Crawford (hamstring) also went on the 10-day injured list and won't return this year, so expect Luciano and Fitzgerald to split time at the 6 for […]

Giants Put Brandon Crawford On Injured List

The San Francisco Giants placed shortstop Brandon Crawford (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right-hamstring strain, ending his season. Crawford's injury came on Wednesday night. Not only will he miss the rest of the 2023 season, but Wednesday's contest could end up being his final game in San Francisco after 13 […]

Zay Jones Has Yet To Practice This Week

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. After getting hurt in the Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday, Jones is now very questionable to suit up this Sunday in a meeting with the Houston Texans. He caught five of seven targets for […]

Odell Beckham Jr.'s Week 3 Status Could Be In Question

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) missed another day of practice this week on Thursday. Beckham injured his ankle in the Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It wasn't expected to be an injury that would cause him to miss any time, but if he's unable to get back onto the practice […]

Justice Hill Still Missing From Practice

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (toe) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Hill picked up turf toe in the Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and is in danger of missing the Week 3 contest this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. With J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) already out for the season, […]

James Cook Misses Practice For Personal Reasons

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook missed Thursday's practice for the birth of his child. Cook should return to practice on Friday and should be available to play in Week 3 on Sunday on the road against the Washington Commanders. The 23-year-old second-year back is Buffalo's unquestioned lead back this year, but he's lost out […]
