The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired catching prospect Gabriel Moreno and outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. from the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday in exchange for catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho, according to sources.

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired catcher/outfielder Daulton Varsho from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday in exchange for catching prospect Gabriel Moreno and outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr., according to sources.

49ers Activate Javon Kinlaw From Injured Reserve

The San Francisco 49ers officially activated defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (knee) from Injured Reserve on Friday, giving an already dominant defensive line even more help heading into the postseason.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones (knee) was limited in practice all week and is officially questionable to play on Sunday night against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 16.

Dalton Schultz Firmly On TE1 Radar

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz only caught two of four targets for 15 yards in the Week 15 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but fantasy managers should still be treating him as a must-start TE1 at the weakest position in fantasy. The Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas' Week 16 opponent on Saturday, have been pretty […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Listed As Questionable

Miami Dolphins running backs Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) and Myles Gaskin (illness) are both listed as questionable to play on Christmas Day on Sunday against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16. Wilson was held out as a precaution in last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills, but he was limited in practice all of […]

Ezekiel Elliott Hoping To Keep Touchdown Streak Alive

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott may not have the fantasy upside of backfield mate Tony Pollard, but Elliott has nine rushing touchdowns in the last seven games for his fantasy managers. Scoring for an eighth straight game will be a tall task against a tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 16 on Saturday, but […]

Kendall Hinton To Miss Another Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Kendall Hinton (hamstring) has been ruled out for the Christmas Day game this Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams. Hinton hasn't played since injuring his hamstring in Week 14, but he still has a chance to return for two meaningless games in Weeks 17 and 18 for the Broncos. The 25-year-old […]

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and running back Latavius Murray (foot) are both listed as questionable to play on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 16.

Matt Ryan Unlikely To Play Again This Year

The Athletic's Zak Keefer writes that it's unlikely Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan will play again this year after being benched for Nick Foles in Week 16 for the Monday night matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jets Non-Committal On Zach Wilson

New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh wouldn't answer if quarterback Zach Wilson would start in Week 17 against the Seattle Seahawks if Mike White (ribs) is unable to play.

Aaron Donald Ruled Out, Likely Done For The Year

The Los Angeles Rams ruled out defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle) for the Week 16 game against the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day on Sunday, according to head coach Sean McVay.

Giancarlo Stanton To Play The Outfield "In Spurts"

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that he sees Giancarlo Stanton playing the outfield "in spurts" next season.

The 33-year-old right-handed slugger has mostly […]

Padres, Marlins Interested In Johnny Cueto

The San Diego Padres and Miami Marlins are among the teams looking at free-agent starting pitcher Johnny Cueto, who pitched very well for the Chicago White Sox in 2022.

Braves Acquire Lewin Diaz From The Orioles

The Atlanta Braves acquired first baseman Lewin Diaz from the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations.

Instead, the Giants sign the last marquee free agent […]

Tyler Conklin Catches Four Passes In Loss To Jaguars

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught all four of his targets for 34 yards in the Thursday night loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Noah Fant, Marquise Goodwin Expected To Play

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant (knee) and wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (ankle, wrist), who are both listed as questionable for Week 16, are expected to play on Saturday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Pete Carroll.

Cardinals, Kliff Kingsbury Headed For A Breakup?

There is a very real possibility that Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, who has a 28-34-1 record as a head coach in the NFL without a playoff win, will be fired by owner Michael Bidwell. However, multiple team sources see a path where Bidwell gives Kingsbury another year. Kingsbury's relationships with Bidwell, general manager […]

Dawuane Smoot Feared To Have Torn His Achilles

Jacksonville Jaguars standout defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot (Achilles) is feared to have torn his Achilles in the Thursday night win over the New York Jets, according to a source.
