Matt McLain Playing Some Center Field In The AFL

Cincinnati Reds infielder Matt McLain was starting in center field on Tuesday for the Glendale Desert Dogs in the Arizona Fall League.

Calvin Ridley, Tony Pollard, Tagged With DNPs

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley (shoulder) and running back Tony Pollard (foot) were both listed as non-participants on the team's Wednesday practice report.

Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports that Memphis Grizzlies guard John Konchar (foot) will suit up against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday.

Is T.J. Hockenson Injured or Healthy? Is T.J. Hockenson Starting for Fantasy Football Week 9 of 2024?

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) is extremely good at football, specifically at getting open, catching the ball, gaining yards, scoring touchdowns, and stunting on opposing defenses.

According to Damichael Cole of the Memphis Commercial Appeal, Memphis Grizzlies center Zach Edey (calf) will suit up Wednesday versus the Brooklyn Nets and will likely start despite a sore right calf.

Antonio Gibson Limited On Wednesday

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson (toe) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison will remain the starter over Zamir White (quadriceps). Mattison has taken on a large role in the offense over the last four weeks.

Atlanta Hawks forward De'Andre Hunter (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.

Isaiah Jackson To Start On Wednesday

Indiana Pacers center Isaiah Jackson will move into the starting five ahead of Wednesday's game against the Boston Celtics.
