Case Keenum Named Week 1 Starter

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden named quarterback Case Keenum the starting quarterback heading into the Week 1 matchup against the Eagles. This was expected to be the case with rookie Dwayne Haskins not quite ready to start in the NFL. Keenum is league average, at best, and will be operating behind a sketchy offensive […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick, Josh Rosen Still Battling For Starting Job

The Miami Dolphins have yet to decide on who their starting quarterback will be between veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick and Josh Rosen. Head coach Brian Flores said on Sunday that he's not leaning a certain way. Fitzpatrick has been viewed as the favorite to win the job, but Rosen's play in the preseason might have given […]

Kenny Stills On The Trade Block?

Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones, linebacker Kiko Alonso and wide receiver Kenny Stills are among those available on the trade market, according to league sources. However, a high-ranking official said on Saturday that he doubts the Dolphins will find a taker for Alonso or Stills because other teams would wait for them to be cut. […]

Ty Montgomery Could Spell Le'Veon Bell Early

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell could be eased in early in the season after sitting out all of the 2018 campaign with Pittsburgh. Bell hasn't played a game in 20 months and isn't playing at all this preseason. He also hasn't practiced at all with the starting offensive line. There will be rust […]

Two-Start Pitcher Streamers for Week 22

Prepare yourself for a rookie heavy column this week, as three of the five starters listed here still have rookie eligibility. But first a quick recap. I managed to have the absolute worst luck in Week 20, as every single pitcher in that column had their starts moved around and as a result had only […]

Lamar Miller's Injury: What It Means for Duke Johnson And The Texans Other RBs

In one of the wildest days in NFL preseason history, one story completely overshadowed the rest of the news around the league and it wasn't even related to anything happening on a football field. Andrew Luck retired from football at 29 years of age, just on the verge of starting his seventh (he missed all […]

Duke Johnson Is The Starter

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson has become the team's starter with Lamar Miller (knee) looking at missing the entire season. Johnson will get all the playing time he can handle in 2019 despite never functioning as a lead back in the NFL in his time with Cleveland. Mainly useful in PPR leagues as a […]

N'Keal Harry's Week 1 Status In Question

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver N'Keal Harry's (ankle, hamstring, toe) status for the Week 1 opener against the Steelers could be in question after he hobbled off the field in the Aug. 8 preseason opener. Since then, he hasn't practiced in full and has been jogging lightly when at practice. The rookie hasn't passed […]

Cam Newton Sheds Walking Boot

Carolina Panthers head coach Ron Rivera said that quarterback Cam Newton (foot) is progressing and shed his walking boot on Sunday. There's a chance that Newton returns to practice as early as Monday, which would be a great sign that he'll be ready to suit up in Week 1 against the Rams, where he'd be […]

Ken Giles, Clay Buchholz Return To Team

The Toronto Blue Jays activated closer Ken Giles from the paternity list and activated starting pitcher Clay Buchholz (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list on Sunday. In corresponding moves, pitchers Brock Stewart and Justin Shafer were optioned to Triple-A Buffalo. Giles should immediately go back to being the team's ninth-inning stopper and he should be […]

Dansby Swanson Could Be Activated Monday

Atlanta Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson is nearing a return to the majors since landing on the IL at the end of July with a foot injury. He played a full nine-inning game on Saturday at Single-A, and now has three rehab games under his belt. The fact he played a full game is encouraging as […]

Hanser Alberto Departs Sunday's Game

Baltimore Orioles third baseman Hanser Alberto was forced from Sunday's game early after colliding with Rays shortstop Willy Adames at second base. Alberto was trying to advance to second on a ball in the dirt when he crashed the back of his head into Adames' knee. He was 1-for-2 before leaving, adding to a productive […]

Joey Votto Not Ready To Return

Cincinnati Reds first baseman Joey Votto (back) has ramped up his baseball activities this weekend, but he's not yet ready to return from the injured list. “I still have to progress my hitting and make sure from a defensive perspective I build up the volume and make sure I can handle that load,” Votto said. […]

Pirates Hoping To Have Gregory Polanco Back In September

The Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping to get outfielder Gregory Polanco (shoulder) back in September before giving him the offseason to rest. Polanco's 2019 season has been a lost one after he underwent offseason shoulder surgery. The 27-year-old has hit .242/.301/.425 with only six home runs, 23 runs, 17 RBI and three steals in 42 games. […]

Tommy La Stella Starts Baseball Activities

Los Angeles Angels infielder Tommy La Stella (leg) has resumed baseball activities, according to manager Brad Ausmus. The Angels remain hopeful that La Stella can return at some point next month, but the reality is that he won't help fantasy owners the rest of the way and can remain on waiver wires in redraft formats. […]

Carlos Correa Doing Light Running

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa (back) did some light running on the field on Sunday. He hasn't started hitting or doing agility drills, but manager A.J. Hinch said Correa is in a great spot. Correa is one of the better fantasy shortstops when he's healthy, but he continues to miss extended time with injuries the […]

Jordan Montgomery Making Rehab Start Sunday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Jordan Montgomery (elbow, shoulder) is making a rehab start for High-A Tampa on Sunday. It's Montgomery's first rehab action since having Tommy John surgery last year. There's a chance he could return before the end of the season, but it's unlikely to come in a starting role, so you can […]

Raimel Tapia Dealing With Hand Injury

Colorado Rockies outfielder Raimel Tapia (hand) is dealing with a hand injury and is unlikely to be available on Sunday after sitting out on Saturday. It doesn't sound too serious, but we'll have to wait for more details on Tapia. Take him out of your lineups until further notice. The 25-year-old has been great for […]

Aledmys Diaz To Return From IL Tuesday

Houston Astros infielder Aledmys Diaz is scheduled to return from the injured list on Tuesday when the club begins a series versus the Rays. He was placed on the 10-day IL last weekend with dizziness and will return to a vacated role left by shortstop Carlos Correa. Diaz has a .267 average with seven homers […]

Brad Keller To Be Limited Down The Stretch

Kansas City Royals manager Ned Yost said he won't let starting pitcher Brad Keller throw more than 100 pitches per game for the rest of the season. Yost has a total innings limit in mind for Keller, but he wants to talk with general manager Dayton Moore about it first. Keller is currently at 164 […]

Brett Rypien Struggles With Bulk Of Load

Denver Broncos quarterback Brett Rypien was given a bulk of the quarterbacking duties for the team against the Los Angeles Rams and struggled throughout the game. The rookie quarterback completed 14-of-23 passing attempts for 80 yards, averaging 3.5 yards a throw. He also threw an interception and was sacked once in the contest. Rypien holds […]

John Means Might Miss Next Start

Baltimore Orioles starting pitcher John Means is going on the family emergency list and might not be back in time for his next start next weekend against the Royals. Means' fantasy owners are really hoping that he won't miss a nice matchup against KC. The left-hander has been one of the few bright spots for […]

Mychal Kendricks Shines Against Chargers

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Mychal Kendricks put on a clinic on Saturday against the Chargers when he caused disruption all over the field. Kendricks was a major factor in the team's only sack of the game, he blew up a fourth-down play, and he was regularly around the ball at every opportunity. Kendricks is expected to […]

Khalfani Muhammad Has Abysmal Performance Versus Rams

Denver Broncos running back Khalfani Muhammad was given the chance to show the coaching staff what he could bring to the table on Saturday evening, as he was given the bulk of reps for the Broncos. Muhammad struggled with the volume given to him, only tallying 30 yards on 10 attempts. The third-year back did […]

Troy Fumagalli Leads Broncos In Receptions

Denver Broncos tight end Troy Fumagalli led the team in receptions Saturday evening against the Los Angeles Rams. The former Wisconsin Badger stand-out hauled in all five targets tossed his way, totaling 44 yards. Fumagalli's longest reception of the night came via a 15 yard gain. The second-year tight end hopes to find time in […]

Jason Myers Drills 58-Yarder

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is getting Seahawks fans real excited about their field goal chances. Myers drilled a 58-yarder on Saturday night, and he still had room to spare, though it was officially his second chance at it. Myers originally faced a 53-yarder, but a false start penalty on Seattle allowed Myers the chance […]

Antonio Brown Loses Helmet Appeal

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown has lost his ongoing grievance surrounding his helmet for the second time. Hopefully this puts an end to all this off-field noise, and he can focus entirely on his production on the field. Brown remains one of the most talented players in the league and won't require many reps […]

Francisco Mejia Getting Rare Outfield Start

San Diego Padres backstop Francisco Mejia is starting in left field and batting second Sunday versus Red Sox lefty Brian Johnson. It's his fourth start of the year in the outfield this season, and second in the last week as we may see him receive more starts there moving forward. The Friars called up catching […]

Jacob Hollister Catches Three Passes

Seattle Seahawks tight end Jacob Hollister tied for the most receptions on the team in Seattle's third preseason game, hauling in three passes for 17 yards. Hollister was also the only tight end on the roster to be targeted on the evening. The tight end race for Seattle is still a bit of a toss-up, […]
