Courtland Sutton In WR1 Range For Wild-Card Weekend

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has essentially been a WR1 in fantasy since the midway point of the season, and that shouldn't change on wild-card weekend when the team travels to Buffalo to take on the Bills on Sunday. Buffalo's defense was a middle-of-the-pack matchup for opposing wideouts over the course of the season, […]

Bo Nix Has Sleeper Potential Against Buffalo

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix had a pretty special rookie campaign after being taken in the first round last April, helping lead Denver to their first postseason appearance since 2015. He finished as a top-10 fantasy signal-caller thanks to 3,775 passing yards, 29 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 17 games, also adding 430 rushing […]

49ers To Conduct Open Search For Offensive Coordinator

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said earlier this week that Klay Kubiak would be given the title of offensive coordinator for the 2025 season, but NFL rules don't permit that. As a result, the 49ers will do an open search for their offensive-coordinator position this offseason. Kubiak has essentially served as the offensive […]

Jason Foley Avoids Arbitration With Tigers

The Detroit Tigers avoided salary arbitration with right-hander Jason Foley on Thursday by agreeing to a one-year, $3.15 million deal.

Orioles, Tyler Wells Avoid Arbitration

The Baltimore Orioles and right-hander Tyler Wells (elbow) agreed to a one-year, $2.075 million deal on Thursday, avoiding salary arbitration, according to a source.

Mike Edwards Questionable Vs. Washington

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Mike Edwards (quad) is officially questionable for Sunday's Wild-Card matchup with the visiting Washington Commanders.

However, he'd upgrade his participation to a full practice on Friday […]

Jalen Johnson Remains Out On Saturday

Atlanta Hawks forward Jalen Johnson (shoulder) won't play on Saturday against the Rockets. Initially, his right shoulder inflammation wasn't too concerning for fantasy managers. However, Johnson will miss a fourth consecutive game on Saturday, so most are hoping he won't be on the shelf much longer. It's unfortunate, especially since the 23-year-old is averaging career-highs […]

Edmundo Sosa Avoids Arbitration With Phillies

Infielder Edmundo Sosa and the Philadelphia Phillies settled on a one-year, $3.0 million deal on Thursday to avoid salary arbitration, according to a source.

Orioles, Ramon Urias Agree To One-Year Deal To Avoid Arbitration

The Baltimore Orioles and infielder Ramon Urias settled on a one-year, $3.15 million deal to avoid salary arbitration on Thursday. Even before missing time with an ankle injury, Urias was seeing less playing time in Baltimore.

Trae Young Probable Versus Houston

Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (Achilles) is expected to suit up on Saturday against Houston. The right Achilles Tendinitis is nothing new, so he should be out there barring a setback. The 26-year-old hasn't had his most efficient season, averaging 22.5 points and shooting 33.9% from behind the arc. Fortunately, he's at least made up […]

Ty Chandler Pops Up With DNP

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler (illness) was listed as a non-participant for Friday's team practice.

Tari Eason Not Expected To Face The Hawks

Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason (leg) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks. The 23-year-old has missed the last 11 games.

Chris Jones Back At Practice

Per Matt McMullen of the team, Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones (calf) returned to practice on Friday. The 30-year-old picked up a calf injury in Kansas City's Week 16 win over the Houston Texans that would force him to miss the ensuing two contests. It's excellent news for the Chiefs, as Jones was […]

Nikola Jokic Will Play On Friday Night

Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic (illness) will play on Friday night versus Brooklyn. The multi-time MVP missed the previous two games because of an illness. However, after riding a questionable designation, fantasy managers figured he'd be back for this one after he went through pre-game warmups. As expected, Jokic should be added back to fantasy […]

Alexandre Sarr Ready To Face Bulls

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (illness) will be active against Chicago on Friday. He has shaken off an illness to return from a one-game absence. Sarr's return will likely send Jonas Valanciunas back to the bench, but he might still play an important role in the contest, as the Wizards will need a big body […]

The New York Jets interviewed Maryland head coach Mike Locksley for their head-coaching position on Friday, according to sources.
