Jimmy Graham Makes Saints 53-Man Roster

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham made the team's final 53-man roster heading into the 2023 regular season. The five-time Pro Bowl looked washed up in his last NFL season in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he had a career-low 14 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets in […]

Deon Jackson An Option To Start Early On For Colts

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (ankle) wasn't traded and will miss at least the first four games of the season while on the Physically Unable to Perform list. Zack Moss (arm) is the likely starter with Taylor sidelined, but he's not a lock to be ready for Week 1 due to a broken right […]

Jaylen Waddle Expects To Play In Week 1

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (abdomen) said he's "feeling good" and expects to play in Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Waddle suffered an abdomen injury around three weeks ago and was limited in Tuesday's practice, so as long as he doesn't suffer any sort of setback, he should be good to go […]

Malcolm Butler To Try Out For Falcons

Former Pro Bowl cornerback Malcolm Butler flew to Atlanta on Tuesday and will try out for the Falcons on Wednesday, according to a source. Butler hasn't played in a regular season game since 2020 but has worked out and signed contracts with teams over the last two years. The 33-year-old defensive back last made 16 […]

Saints Release Bradley Roby

The New Orleans Saints released cornerback Bradley Roby on roster cutdown day on Tuesday.

In his last two seasons with […]

Emmanuel Moseley To Open Season On Active Roster

The Detroit Lions moved cornerback Emmanuel Moseley (knee) off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Tuesday, so he will open the 2023 regular season on the active roster and will be eligible to play in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source.

Bears Cut Stephen Carlson

The Chicago Bears cut tight end Stephen Carlson on Tuesday to trim their roster down to 53 players, according to a source. Carlson will likely be back on the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Browns Cut Kellen Mond Tuesday

The Cleveland Browns cut quarterback Kellen Mond on roster cutdown day on Tuesday.

Browns Cut Demetric Felton Jr.

The Cleveland Browns cut running back/wide receiver Demetric Felton Jr. on Tuesday in order to get their roster down to the required 53 players. Entering the 2023 regular season, the Browns are going with a running back depth chart that includes bell-cow back Nick Chubb, Jerome Ford and the recently acquired Pierre Strong Jr. Felton, […]

Brandon Belt Unavailable Due To Back Spasms

Toronto Blue Jays manager John Schneider said that first baseman/designated hitter Brandon Belt (back) "wasn't available" for Tuesday's game against the Washington Nationals after dealing with lower-back spasms. Belt wasn't going to start against a left-handed pitcher on Tuesday anyway, but he wasn't available at all off the bench either due to the injury. There's […]

Ty France Injured Tuesday Night

Seattle Mariners first baseman Ty France (wrist) left Tuesday night's game against the Oakland Athletics early with a left-wrist contusion. The injury occurred when France was hit in the wrist on a pickoff attempt in the second inning, so his removal from the game was most likely precautionary. Before departing prematurely, France went hitless in […]

Jorge Soler Leaves Early With Hip Tightness

Miami Marlins outfielder Jorge Soler (hip) left Tuesday's contest against the Tampa Bay Rays early with right-hip tightness, according to the team. The injury occurred when Soler swung and missed at a pitch in the seventh inning. Until we know more on the severity of his hip injury, fantasy managers should consider the 31-year-old right-handed […]

Julio Rodriguez Dealing With Foot Soreness

Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodriguez (foot) was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics due to left-foot soreness. Until we know more about the severity of Rodriguez's foot injury, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day and check back to see if he's in Wednesday's lineup. The 22-year-old has been as hot as they come […]

Jaguars Waive Snoop Conner Tuesday

The Jacksonville Jaguars waived last year's fifth-round pick, running back Snoop Conner, on Tuesday in order to trim their roster down to 53 players. Jacksonville will open up the 2023 regular season with Travis Etienne Jr. atop their RB depth chart, followed by impressive rookie Tank Bigsby, JaMycal Hasty and D'Ernest Johnson. In his first […]

Raiders Release Damien Williams

The Las Vegas Raiders released running back Damien Williams on Tuesday now that Josh Jacobs is back with the team and signed for 2023, according to a source. Behind last year's rushing leader in Jacobs, the Raiders are going to enter Week 1 against the division-rival Denver Broncos with Zamir White, Ameer Abdullah and Brandon […]

Blake Grupe Wins Kicking Job In New Orleans

The New Orleans Saints traded kicker Wil Lutz to the Denver Broncos on roster cutdown day on Tuesday, confirming that undrafted rookie Blake Grupe has won the kicking job entering the 2023 regular season.

Ty Montgomery, Kevin Harris Released By Patriots

The New England Patriots released running backs Ty Montgomery and Kevin Harris on Tuesday to cut their roster down to 53 players by the deadline. The Patriots also cut J.J. Taylor, leaving just lead back Rhamondre Stevenson and former Dallas Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott on the current 53-man roster. New England surely won't go into […]

George Kirby Scratched With Illness

Seattle Mariners right-hander George Kirby (illness) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics due to an illness. Luke Weaver will start in his place. It's a tough break for fantasy managers, as Kirby should have been locked into all starting lineups in a pristine matchup against the worst team […]

No Timeline For Marcus Stroman's Return

Chicago Cubs right-hander Marcus Stroman's (hip, ribs) exam showed that his right-rib cartilage continues to heal and he's doing light activity, but there remains no timeline for his return to the starting rotation. Stroman is trying to return from a fracture in his right-rib cartilage, but the 32-year-old could still have a ways to go […]

Mike Yastrzemski Likely To Return Wednesday

It sounds as though San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (hamstring) will return from the injured list on Wednesday. Yastrzemski is going to return to the big-league roster without going on a minor-league rehab assignment, and he's been out since late July with a left-hamstring strain, so the Giants may choose to ease him back […]

Matt Manning To Start On Thursday

Detroit Tigers right-hander Matt Manning (back) will make his next start on Thursday against the New York Yankees. Manning has reportedly been dealing with back issues on and off all year and he had to be pulled from his most recent outing last Friday due to what he called a stinger in his lower back. […]

Byron Buxton To Start Rehab Assignment Wednesday

Minnesota Twins outfielder/designated hitter Byron Buxton (hamstring) and outfielder Alex Kirilloff (shoulder) will both start minor-league rehab assignments with Triple-A St. Paul on Wednesday.

Sal Frelick Out Against Southpaw

Milwaukee Brewers rookie outfielder Sal Frelick is taking a seat on the bench on Tuesday with the team facing left-hander Justin Steele and the Chicago Cubs. Joey Wiemer is playing center field for the Brewers and is hitting in the sixth spot in the batting order against Steele. Frelick missed some time last week with […]

George Springer Back In Leadoff Spot

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer is starting in right field and serving as the leadoff hitter on Tuesday against the visiting Washington Nationals and left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Manager John Schneider said he's likely going to use Springer as the leadoff hitter for the rest of the year after he handled cleanup duties in the […]

Ravens Release Melvin Gordon III

The Baltimore Ravens released running back Melvin Gordon III on Tuesday, according to a source. Gordon didn't do enough to win a spot on the team's 53-man roster entering the 2023 regular season, but he could find himself back with Baltimore on their practice squad if he doesn't sign elsewhere. J.K. Dobbins leads the team's […]

Patriots Waive Bailey Zappe

The New England Patriots waived backup quarterback Bailey Zappe in a surprising move on Tuesday, according to a source. With the Patriots also waiving Malik Cunningham on roster-cutdown day, Mac Jones is now the team's only signal-caller on the roster with the 2023 regular season starting next week. However, the Patriots are hoping to get […]

Eagles Acquire Albert Okwuegbunam From Broncos

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired tight end Albert Okwuegbunam and a seventh-round draft pick in 2025 from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday in exchange for a sixth-rounder in 2025, according to sources. The Broncos were set to waiver Okwuegbunam on Tuesday before finding a trade partner in the Eagles. The 25-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2020 […]

Jake Rogers Available Off The Bench Tuesday

Detroit Tigers manager A.J. Hinch said that catcher Jake Rogers (hand) doesn't have a broken bone in his left hand and will be available to pinch hit or catch on Tuesday against the visiting New York Yankees. Carson Kelly will make a second straight start behind the dish and bat ninth against Yankees right-hander Michael […]

Carlos Santana Out With Ankle Sprain

Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana (ankle) is out of the lineup again on Tuesday against the Chicago Cubs. In his absence, Mark Canha is getting the start at first base and will bat third in the order against Cubs left-hander Justin Steele. Santana sprained his ankle in Sunday's series finale against the San Diego […]

Jarren Duran To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran (toe) will have season-ending surgery for his turf toe on Wednesday. It's a really tough blow for the Red Sox down the stretch and for fantasy managers that have been riding Duran's strong season all year long. He was given a walking boot on Aug. 23 after landing on […]
