Demarcus Robinson Could See More Targets In Week 9

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson was expected to take a backseat during last week's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

David Moore Might Have Low-End Flex Value

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore saw his biggest performance of the season during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. Moore hauled in four of his five targets for 39 yards, which are all season highs for the 29-year-old. After a few injuries and trades, Moore has become the WR3 in Carolina right now. […]

Justice Hill Avoidable For Week 9

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill has been a boom-or-bust option throughout most of the season. Last week, Hill rushed twice for five yards while hauling in one target for 14 yards through the air. It was a dud outing for Hill who is the primary backup for Derrick Henry in the backfield. Hill has […]

Miles Sanders Risky For Week 9

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders saw increased involvement in the offense during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. Sanders only rushed the ball once for seven yards, but was extremely active through the air. The 27-year-old hauled in all seven of his targets for 38 yards which are both season highs for Sanders. […]

Khalil Herbert Given Permission To Seek Trade

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert was a healthy scratch from last week's loss to the Washington Commanders. Now, it's being reported that the organization has given Herbert permission to seek a trade. Herbert has fallen out of the rotation with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson playing well right now. That being said, the Bears […]

Austin Barnes Returning To Los Angeles

The Los Angeles Dodgers are exercising their 2025 club option on catcher Austin Barnes, according to Robert Murray of FanSided.

It'll […]

David Robertson To Test Free Agency

Relief pitcher David Robertson did not exercise his mutual team option with the Texas Rangers for the 2025 season and will instead test free agency, according to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. The 39-year-old enjoyed another excellent campaign, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.11 WHIP, with a 27:99 BB:K ratio in 72 innings of work. He tallied […]

Giants Exercise Club Option On Wilmer Flores

The San Francisco Giants exercised their 2025 club option on infielder Wilmer Flores, according to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic. The 33-year-old appeared in only 71 games this past season before suffering a season-ending knee injury. Flores hit for a mere .207/.277/.318 line with just four home runs and 12 doubles. Under the hood, he […]

Audric Estime Could See More Carries In Week 9

Denver Broncos running back Audric Estime hasn't done much with his chances this season. The rookie back has been barely seen on the field this season, but that's likely to change in Week 9. The Broncos are reportedly hopeful to get Estime more involved during their matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. He's currently […]

Jameson Williams To Be Reinstated In Week 10

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (suspension) won't suit up for this week's game against the Green Bay Packers.

It's worth noting that the NFL continues to monitor his legal situation in an unrelated gun […]

Owen Miller Shipped To Colorado

The Milwaukee Brewers traded infielder Owen Miller to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for cash considerations, according to Patrick Lyons of Just BB Media. The 27-year-old made just 14 appearances in the big leagues last season and held an underwhelming .185/185/.222 slash line with one extra-base hit and three RBI. Miller spent most of the […]

Marlon Humphrey Expected To Play In Week 9

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey (knee) is listed as questionable but is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. Humphrey has been limited in practice all week after missing last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. The return of Humphrey would be a welcoming sight for the Ravens secondary that […]

Merrill Kelly Staying In Arizona

The Arizona Diamondbacks exercised their 2025 club option on starting pitcher Merrill Kelly, according to Jon Heyman of the NY Post. The 36-year-old made only 13 starts this season after sitting out for an extended period with a shoulder injury. He logged 73 2/3 innings of work with a 4.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a […]

Eloy Jimenez Headed To Free Agency

The Baltimore Orioles are declining their 2025 option on designated hitter Eloy Jimenez. Baltimore traded for the 27-year-old at the trade deadline and posted an underwhelming .232/.270/.336 line through his small stint with the Orioles. During the first half of the season in Chicago, Jimenez posted a low .240/.297/.345 slash line. This was the worst […]

Zack Moss Won't Play In Week 9

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game versus the Las Vegas Raiders, according to ESPN's Ben Baby.

Diontae Johnson Expected To Play 10-15 Snaps In Ravens Debut

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson will likely play 10 to 15 snaps in his first game with the team on Sunday, according to CBS Sports' Tracy Wolfson. Johnson was acquired from the Carolina Panthers earlier this week, and while he isn't fully acclimated to the Ravens' offense yet, it sounds like the Baltimore coaching […]
