Broncos Defense Has Been Stingy

The Denver Broncos defense is the reason why the team has a winning record through the first three games. They are currently ranked third in total yards allowed per game (251.3) and second in points allowed per game (12.0), but they haven't faced any real potent offenses yet in the Seahawks, Texans and 49ers. Despite […]

Brandon McManus A Borderline Starting Kicker This Week

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus disappointed in the Week 3 win over the San Francisco 49ers, making just one of his two field-goal tries while not being afforded an extra-point attempt. He should be much busier in a Week 4 meeting against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders, but he's also a roll of the dice […]

Albert Okwuegbunam Not A Realistic TE Streamer

Fantasy managers should be avoiding Denver Broncos tight end Albert Okwuegbunam as a tight end streamer in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game (13.8) to the tight end position through the first three weeks of the season, but Okwuegbunam just hasn't been involved enough […]

KJ Hamler Searching For His First Catch

Denver Broncos wide receiver KJ Hamler enters the Week 4 contest against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders still searching for his first catch of the 2022 season. Hamler failed to haul in his only target in the season opener while playing 61 percent of the offensive snaps. He was inactive due to knee and hip […]

Jerry Jeudy Looking To Get Back On Track In Week 4

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy came out of the gates hot in the season opener, catching four of seven targets for 102 yards and a touchdown after failing to find the end zone all of last year. But since then he's fallen flat, catching three of nine targets for only 28 yards in the […]

Courtland Sutton Remains A Must-Start WR2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has been quarterback Russell Wilson's go-to receiver through the first three weeks of the 2022 season, and he leads the team in receptions (19), targets (28) and receiving yards (291) despite not finding the end zone yet. Even though the Broncos offense has yet to really get much going […]

Javonte Williams Could Break Out Against Raiders

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams has underwhelmed so far for fantasy managers through the first three weeks of the season, and he has just three more carries than backfield mate Melvin Gordon III. Williams has been more efficient, though, racking up 176 yards on the ground (4.8 yards per carry). He's also second on […]

Russell Wilson Looking To Get Things Going In Week 4

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson threw for 340 yards and a touchdown in the season opener against his former team, but he's gone backwards in the two games since and finished with under 200 yards passing in last week's 11-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Denver's offense just hasn't been able to get into […]

Xavien Howard Questionable To Return Thursday

Miami Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard (groin) suffered a groin injury in Thursday's Week 4 game against the Cincinnati Bengals and is questionable to return. Before leaving the contest, Howard had two tackles (one solo). Miami's aggressive defense has done a pretty good job of containing Cincinnati's explosive passing attack through three quarters on Thursday night, […]

Trayce Thompson Scratched From Lineup Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Trayce Thompson (personal) has been scratched from the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival San Diego Padres due to a personal issue. Manager Dave Roberts said Thompson will be away from the team for a day, so he could return on Friday. With Thompson out, Miguel Vargas will get the […]

Keenan Allen Limited Again Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) was limited for the second straight day in practice this week on Thursday. However, Allen reportedly left practice early with a trainer near the end of the period of practice open to the media. The 30-year-old hasn't played since tweaking his hamstring in the season opener, and […]

Justin Herbert Practicing In Full

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (ribs) took part in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Herbert was a game-time decision in the Week 3 blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he suited up and threw for under 300 yards with a touchdown and an interception. It looks as though […]

Ronnie Stanley Could Play In Week 4

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is trending in the right direction and told reporters, "You might see me this week" in Week 4 against the Buffalo Bills. Stanley has been recovering from season-ending ankle surgery last October and has yet to make his 2022 season debut. But the 28-year-old Pro Bowler has returned […]

Boston Scott Absent Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Boston Scott (rib) was not seen at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Scott is injured heading into the Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars and has played only 36 offensive snaps through the first three games, which is well behind Miles Sanders' 112 and Kenneth […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Misses Practice Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) did not take part in Thursday's practice. Valdes-Scantling was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, so he's trending towards being questionable for the Week 4 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday night. Through the first three weeks of the season, MVS is fourth on […]

Avisail Garcia, Joey Wendle Back From IL, Garrett Cooper To IL

The Miami Marlins activated outfielder Avisail Garcia (hamstring), infielder Joey Wendle (hamstring) and pitcher Tommy Nance (groin) from the injured list on Thursday. The Marlins also placed infielder/outfielder Garrett Cooper (pinkie) on the 10-day injured list with a pinkie fracture and Steven Okert (triceps) on the 15-day injured list with left triceps tightness. Jesus Sanchez […]

Sixto Sanchez To Have Another Shoulder Surgery

Miami Marlins right-hander Sixto Sanchez (shoulder) is scheduled to undergo arthroscopic right shoulder surgery conducted by Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Oct. 5, but the Marlins anticipate him being ready for spring training next year. Hopefully this procedure will put the 24-year-old Dominican back on track to pitch for the Fish in 2023, as he's missed […]

Brendan Rodgers Activated, Connor Joe Goes On Injured List

The Colorado Rockies activated second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) from the injured list on Thursday and placed outfielder Connor Joe (ribs) on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Rodgers went on the IL a week ago and will be back for the final handful of games in the 2022 regular season. It remains […]

Corey Seager Not Starting Against Mariners

Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager (forearm) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Seattle Mariners. Seager will miss his second straight game due to a bruised left forearm that he suffered on Tuesday. The 28-year-old remains day-to-day after X-rays came back negative on his arm. With Seager out again Thursday, rookie Josh […]

Justin Turner Riding Pine Again Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (leg) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the division-rival San Diego Padres. Turner is dealing with an injured left leg and could be out for another few games as the Dodgers look to rest him up before the postseason. LA has already locked up the […]

Jesse Winker Returns To Thursday's Lineup

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker (wrist) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and right-hander Jon Gray, serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth. Winker will return to action after missing the last two games due to a bruise left wrist. He's really struggled in the month of September, […]

Matt Prater Has Been Limited This Week

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a right hip injury. Prater should be able to play in the Week 4 contest against the Carolina Panthers, but fantasy managers should be able to find better options at the position in fantasy. […]

A.J. Green Sits Out Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. The veteran wideout is looking unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. Greg Dortch, not Green, has been the biggest beneficiary of DeAndre Hopkins' suspension to begin the year. Rondale Moore (hamstring) has yet […]

Greg Dortch, Rondale Moore Limited Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Greg Dortch (back) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dortch was a hot waiver-wire pickup this week after catching nine of 10 targets for 80 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He has really […]

James Conner Limited Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) was limited in practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Conner played through a questionable tag in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and he should be fine for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, barring a setback later this week. After a […]

Optimism That Christian McCaffrey Plays In Week 4

There is optimism that Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) plays in Week 4 against the Arizona Cardinals despite the fact that he has missed two practices this week with a thigh injury. McCaffrey has kept the injury close to the vest, but barring a setback, he should be OK for Sunday's game. The […]

Willi Castro Done For The Season

Detroit Tigers infielder/outfielder Willi Castro (hamstring) is done for the rest of the season due to a left hamstring injury. Zack Short, Daz Cameron, Josh Lester, Brendon Davis and Luis Garcia are the on-roster candidates to replace Castro for the conclusion of the 2022 regular season. Castro was forced to leave Thursday's game early against […]

Zach Plesac Pushed Back To Saturday

Cleveland Guardians right-hander Zach Plesac (hand) will switch spots with Aaron Civale in the starting rotation this week and be moved back to Saturday against the Kansas City Royals, with Civale going on Friday. Plesac will then potentially move to a relief role for the postseason. Civale will make his final start of the regular […]

Steven Wilson To Serve As Opener Thursday

San Diego Padres rookie right-hander Steven Wilson will serve as the opener on Thursday against the division-rival Los Angeles Dodgers. Nelson will be making his first career major-league start in this one, but he's unlikely to be a realistic fantasy streamer in what should be a short outing. He's made 47 relief appearances in 2022, […]

Julio Rodriguez To Resume Baseball Activities Thursday

Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto said that rookie outfielder Julio Rodriguez (back) will begin baseball activities on Thursday and is aiming to return from the injured list when he's eligible next Monday. The Mariners took the conservative approach by putting him on the injured list to make sure his back gets right, and Rodriguez […]
