Samaje Perine Quickly Becoming A Fantasy Afterthought

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine was expected to have a significant role in the backfield early on in his first year in Denver with Javonte Williams being eased in following a major knee injury in 2022. Perine looked pretty explosive on 12 touches in the season opener and played the same number of offensive […]

Javonte Williams Has RB2 Upside In Week 4

Fantasy managers that drafted Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams knew they were going to have to be patient early on. Williams tore multiple ligaments in his knee in Week 4 of 2022, so the Broncos were going to ease him in to begin the 2023 season. He played in 45% of the offensive snaps […]

Russell Wilson A QB1 Streamer Against Bears

All signs are pointing to Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson having a third straight strong game for fantasy managers in an excellent matchup in Week 4 on the road in Chicago against the 0-3 Bears. Not only has Wilson had back-to-back 300-yard games, but he's thrown six touchdowns to only two interceptions through the first […]

Brian Branch Questionable To Return With Ankle Injury

Detroit Lions rookie defensive back Brian Branch (ankle) is questionable to return to the Thursday night game at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers due to an ankle injury he suffered in the third quarter. Branch walked off the field very gingerly and had to be carted to the locker room, so it looked […]

Luke Musgrave Won't Return On Thursday Night

Updating a previous report, Green Bay Packers rookie tight end Luke Musgrave (concussion) will not return on Thursday night against the Detroit Lions after being evaluated for a concussion. Before injuring his head in the second quarter, Musgrave caught his only target for one yard. It's a tough break for any fantasy managers that started […]

Mickey Moniak Back From Injured List

The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Mickey Moniak (back) from the 10-day injured list on Thursday and optioned left-hander Kolton Ingram and infielder Jared Walsh to Triple-A Salt Lake after Wednesday's game. The Angels also reinstated right-hander Chase Silseth (concussion) from the seven-day injured list. Moniak will return for the first time since Sept. 5 […]

Keaton Winn To Start On Friday

San Francisco Giants rookie right-hander Keaton Winn (illness) will make his final start of the year on Friday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. He will be making his return for the first time since being placed on the COVID list on Sept. 19, so he'll be a risky fantasy streamer for anyone still playing […]

Tanner Scott Back From Paternity List

Miami Marlins left-handed reliever Tanner Scott was reinstated from the paternity list in time for Thursday's game against the New York Mets. The Marlins optioned left-hander Enmanuel De Jesus to the minors in a corresponding move. Scott only ended up missing the team's doubleheader on Wednesday and will now be back for potential save chances […]

Mitch Keller Won't Start Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller will not make his final start of the season on Sunday against the Miami Marlins. The Pirates aren't playing for anything and Keller has already thrown a career-high 194 1/3 innings in his fifth major-league season. The 27-year-old made the All-Star team for the first time in his career in […]

Logan Webb Won't Make Another Start, Kyle Harrison To Pitch Sunday

San Francisco Giants right-hander Logan Webb will no longer start the season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. The Giants were considering giving him one more start to try and chase down Padres left-hander Blake Snell in the National League Cy Young race. Instead, left-handed rookie Kyle Harrison (illness) is lined up […]

Jeff McNeil Has Partial UCL Tear

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (elbow) said he will receive a platelet-rich plasma injection to help the partial tear of the UCL in his left elbow. McNeil was placed on the 10-day injured list on Thursday, which will end his 2023 season. He and the Mets aren't considering surgery right now, and manager Buck […]

Freddy Peralta, Brandon Woodruff Won't Pitch This Weekend

The Milwaukee Brewers will give right-handers Freddy Peralta and Brandon Woodruff some extra rest before the postseason and won't have them pitch in the final series of the regular season this weekend against the Chicago Cubs. Woodruff will throw some live batting practice on Friday as his final tune-up. The Brewers could face the Cubs […]

David Bakhtiari Undergoes Surgery, Placed On Injured Reserve

Green Bay Packers All-Pro left tackle David Bakhtiari (knee) had arthroscopic left-knee surgery on Wednesday and was placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to sources. Another surgery is planned for Bakhtiari in the coming weeks, which will be aimed at allowing him to play at full strength next year. Bakhtiari will miss at least […]

DK Metcalf Misses Thursday's Practice

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (ribs) did not take part in the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. Metcalf took a hard shot to his ribs in Week 2 in the overtime win over the Detroit Lions, but he was able to suit up in the Week 3 win over the Carolina […]

Rondale Moore Could See More Work Out Of Backfield

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore could start seeing more work out of the backfield as the coaching staff tries to utilize his speed and shiftiness. Moore's big-play ability showed itself when he blazed his way to a 45-yard rushing touchdown in the Week 3 upset of the Dallas Cowboys. However, his usage as a […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Limited Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday. Patterson was also limited on Wednesday with an injury that has been bothering him since the preseason in August. As long as rookie Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier are healthy for Atlanta, Patterson is mostly going to […]

Limited Practice For Miles Sanders On Thursday

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (groin) put in yet another limited practice on Thursday. Sanders continues to put in limited practices early in the year, but he's not really in any danger of missing the team's Week 4 tilt against the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. The 26-year-old is Carolina's clear lead back through three […]

DJ Chark Jr., Jonathan Mingo Limited Thursday

Carolina Panthers wide receivers DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) and Jonathan Mingo (concussion) were both limited at practice on Thursday. Chark was rested on Wednesday before returning to a limited showing Thursday. The 27-year-old had a strong day in the Week 3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, catching four of his 11 targets for 86 yards […]

Breece Hall Puts In First Full Practice

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday for the first time this year. The Jets have been easing Hall back in ever since he tore his ACL in his rookie year in 2022, but he hasn't missed any games yet in 2023. The further the […]

James Conner Back To Full Practice

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (back) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was listed as limited in Wednesday's session. Meanwhile, running back Keaontay Ingram injured his neck and was added to the injury report as a limited participant. Conner isn't dealing with a serious issue and should be just fine […]

Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings To Be Questionable

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Deebo Samuel (ribs) and Jauan Jennings (shin) both missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said that they will both be listed as questionable for the Week 4 game against the Arizona Cardinals. Samuel was also listed with a knee issue on Wednesday. […]

David Montgomery Active Against Packers

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (thigh), who was listed as questionable for the Thursday night game against the Green Bay Packers, is officially active for the Week 4 tilt. Montgomery suffered a bruised left thigh in the Week 2 game and was held out of last Sunday's convincing victory over the Atlanta Falcons. In […]

Christian Watson Making 2023 Debut In Week 4

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) is officially active on Thursday night and will make his season debut in Week 4 against the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field. Watson was trending toward returning all along this week after he missed the first three games of the season. The 24-year-old second-year receiver has big-play […]

Aaron Jones Officially Active Thursday Night

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring), who was listed as questionable to play on Thursday night in Week 4, is officially active against the division-rival Detroit Lions. Jones tweaked his left hamstring in the season opener and missed Weeks 2 and 3, but he's now back for a big divisional showdown after backup […]

Marquise Brown Injures Thumb In Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (thumb) popped up on the Week 4 injury report on Thursday after injuring his thumb in practice and he was listed as a limited participant. Brown's status will be worth watching closely as Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers approaches. If he is limited at all or forced […]

Kareem Hunt Returns To Practice

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin, ribs) was unable to practice on Wednesday, but he returned to a limited session on Thursday, giving him a chance to play this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. Hunt apparently got nicked up in his season debut in the Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans, but his […]

Deshaun Watson Limited Again Thursday

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (shoulder) had his practice repetitions limited on Thursday for the second straight day as he deals with a sore right throwing shoulder. Watson was able to do some throwing on Thursday and should do more in the final practice of the week on Friday before suiting up on Sunday for […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Gets In Limited Practice

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (concussion) was able to get in a limited practice on Thursday, although he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Head coach Josh McDaniels said earlier this week that Garoppolo is making progress after suffering a concussion in the Week 3 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. The […]

DeVonta Smith Misses Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (illness) was under the weather on Thursday and didn't practice. Fellow wideout Quez Watkins (hamstring) was also limited. Smith's status is now worth watching heading into Sunday's game against the visiting Washington Commanders, but we'd be surprised if he didn't play this weekend. As long as he's back at […]

Brandon Aiyuk Sheds Non-Contact Jersey

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (shoulder) shed his blue non-contact jersey at practice on Thursday. Aiyuk suffered a painful left-shoulder injury in Week 2 and was held out on a short week in last Thursday's win over the New York Giants. He's practiced the last two days, though, and appears to be on […]
