Eddie Rosario To Sit Friday

Minnesota Twins outfielder Eddie Rosario (hamstring) will not return to the lineup Friday when the Twins take on the Tigers. Rosario was removed from Wednesday's game as a precaution, but hamstring issues can linger and it seems this may be the case with Rosario. More information should be released soon in regards to the severity […]

Dante Pettis Rediscovering Explosiveness

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis believes he’s finally playing “explosive and consistent.” Entering training camp as a presumed starter, Pettis has been pushed by rookies Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd who have both turned heads. Meanwhile, Pettis has apparently lacked assertiveness. The 2018 second-round pick emerged at the end of last year, compiling […]

CJ Beathard And Nick Mullens Competing To The End

The competition between San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks CJ Beathard and Nick Mullens to earn backup duties will come down to final cuts. The two signal-callers both made starts in 2018 after Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a torn ACL and present different skillsets to the offense. Beathard is a risk-taker with a longer tenure with the squad […]

MLB DFS Prop Picks for 8/23/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

One of the interesting aspects of the ups and downs that come with a long Major League Baseball season is that production tends to fluctuate. For some players, their greatness lies in their consistency. Mike Trout, for example, has a .448 on-base percentage in August, which is excellent, yet only slightly better than the .438 […]

Nick Bosa And Jason Verrett 50-50 For Week 1

Speaking Thursday, San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch indicated defensive end Nick Bosa (ankle) and cornerback Jason Verrett (ankle, Achilles) are 50-50 for Week 1. Both players suffered injuries two weeks ago and their absence would impair an already-shaky defensive unit. Bosa, the second overall pick in 2019, could emerge as a quality IDP […]

Jordan Matthews' Prospects Brightening

Based on the praise heaped upon San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jordan Matthews recently, his chances of making the team appear bright. Head coach Kyle Shanahan has “a lot of confidence” in Matthews and believes they can “win with [him].” Once an ascending talent with three straight 800-plus yard seasons to start his career, Matthews […]

Kahale Warring Still In Concussion Protocol

Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring remains in concussion protocol and has now missed two weeks of practice. Warring, a third round pick this year, looked like someone who could contribute some early during the first parts of offseason practices, but at this point, it would be a surprise to see him on the […]

Questions At Left Tackle Could Hurt Lamar Miller's Value

Offensive-line play is crucial to success in fantasy football, and the Houston Texans reportedly have an issue on their hands as they try to fill the most important offensive-line position, left tackle. The team signed Matt Kalil this offseason, but the veteran hasn't been at practice since Aug. 14, which has opened a spot for […]

Ezekiel Elliott Returns To Cabo

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has returned to Cabo to train. The Cowboys reportedly offered Elliott a deal to make him the second-highest paid running back in football, but his return to Mexico seems to suggest that Elliott wasn't happy with the deal. While he's still training and seems to be in game shape, […]

Mike Gesicki Leads Offense in Preseason Win

Second-year tight end Mike Gesicki was the offensive star in Miami's preseason victory over the Jaguars on Thursday night, hauling in all three of his targets for a total of 59 yards. This included a 29-yard catch-and-run to start off the second quarter with Gesicki catching a 16-yard pass from Ryan Fitzpatrick before scampering for […]

Cam Newton Has Mid-Foot Sprain

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has a mid-foot sprain that was suffered in Thursday's preseason meeting with the New England Patriots. The team says they are "cautiously optimistic" about Newton's Week 1 availability, and while we can likely expect to see Newton on the field when the Panthers take on the Rams, there's a chance […]

Duke Johnson Expected To Play Against Cowboys

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson is expected to make his Texans debut in Saturday's preseason meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. A hamstring issue had kept Johnson sidelined since being acquired by the Texans in a trade with Cleveland, but we'll finally get to see a hint of how the Texans will use him. Johnson's […]

Terrelle Pryor Suffers Hamstring Injury

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Terrelle Pryor was on the field for the first time this preseason in Thursday's loss to the Miami Dolphins, catching three passes for 26 yards before exiting with a hamstring injury. It's the same issue Pryor's been dealing with all preseason, and a flare up at this point while Pryor is […]

Dwayne Haskins Plays Well Against Falcons

Washington Redskins quarterback Dwayne Haskins completed seven of 13 passes for 74 yards in Thursday's exhibition against the Falcons. Despite how well Haskins has played this preseason, he's still likely to start the year out as Washington's backup behind Case Keenum. The positive outlook is that Haskins has performed well enough to legitimately give head […]

Tanner Roark Keeps Yankees In Check On Thursday

Oakland Athletics starter Tanner Roark allowed two runs on seven hits across 6 1/3 innings during a 5-3 win over the New York Yankees on Thursday. He struck out seven batters without issuing a walk. The 32-year-old has been superb since joining the A's in a midseason trade. He owns a 2-1 record through four […]

Mark Canha Riding Seven-Game Hitting Streak

Oakland Athletics outfielder Mark Canha was 2-for-4 with two RBI during Thursday's 5-3 win over the New York Yankees.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Homers In Loss

The Toronto Blue Jays may have lost in heartbreaking fashion on Thursday night when the Dodgers scored three runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 3-2, but at least Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit his 15th home run of the year while collecting three hits.

Samaje Perine Scores Washington's Only Touchdown Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine carried the ball four times for 16 yards in Thursday's preseason game, with his highlight coming in the form of a three-yard touchdown trot. Perine's teammate and ostensible lone competition for the fourth RB spot, Byron Marshall, racked up only 11 yards on as many carries. Neither Perine nor […]

Adrian Peterson Doesn't Play Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson did not play on Thursday night against the Falcons, ceding the backfield work to Derrius Guice and Chris Thompson instead. Both had positive showings in his absence, especially Guice, who had not played a live game since tearing his ACL in August 2018. There's not much to see here […]

Corey Seager Fuels Comeback With Two-Run Double

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager was 1-for-4 with two RBI during Thursday's 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays.

Washington Redskins wide receiver Trey Quinn didn't play against the Falcons on Thursday. Per a Redskins.com report, Quinn rested so as not to aggravate a thumb injury he sustained earlier in the preseason.

Paul Richardson Sits Out Team's Third Preseason Game

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson did not play on Thursday against the Falcons due to a quadriceps injury, per Redskins.com.

Justice Hill Rushes For Eight Yards on Thursday

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Justice Hill gained a total of eight yards on seven carries in Thursday night's preseason game against Philadelphia. After rushing for 49 yards and a touchdown in Baltimore's Week 2 preseason matchup against Green Bay, Thursday night's Week 3 performance was unimpressive.
