What Time Is Thursday Night Football? Week 5 NFL Schedule

The first month of the 2024 NFL season is wrapped up and we're starting to get a good grasp of how the NFL is starting to shape up. Multiple surprises have shown up, while multiple teams are also proving us correctly based on preseason prognostications. Week 5 offers a spicy NFC South matchup with first […]

Max Fried Exits After Being Hit With Comebacker

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Max Fried was hit in the hip with a comebacker in the second inning of Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Padres, with manager Brian Snitker stating during the broadcast that the impacted area was bothering Fried and that was why he ultimately decided to take him out. Fried was masterful his […]

Jose Quintana To Start Game 3 Of Wild-Card Series

New York Mets veteran left-hander Jose Quintana will start Game 3 of the Wild-Card series versus the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Field on Thursday. In a win-or-go-home game, just about everyone will be available to pitch for the Mets. Quintana certainly lacks high velocity and strikeout stuff, but the 35-year-old southpaw was decent for […]

Joe Musgrove Exits Early With Injury

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Joe Musgrove (elbow) was humming along in Wednesday's wild-card matchup before showing signs of an injury in the fourth inning. Musgrove left with what the Padres are describing as elbow tightness after tossing three-and-two-thirds innings of one-run ball, allowing just one hit and no walks while striking out four. It […]

Tyler Lockett Limited During Wednesday's Walkthrough

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) was a limited participant on Wednesday. Given that the Seahawks only held a walkthrough, Lockett's participation status is merely an estimation. The reliable veteran receiver has caught 18 passes for 199 yards through four games, but he's still looking for his first touchdown of the 2024 season. Lockett's […]

Colton Cowser Suffers Fractured Hand In Loss

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser (hand) was hit by a pitch in the left hand during Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Royals, eliminating the Orioles from the playoffs. It was a double whammy for the 24-year-old, as it resulted in a fractured hand and also went down as a strike instead of a hit-by-pitch because […]

Davante Adams Eyeing Jets Trade, Has Interest From Steelers And Bills

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) has left an impression on teams that he's "focused on engineering a trade to the Jets," according to Albert Breer of the MMQB. However, the Raiders have also fielded calls from the Bills and Steelers. Adams, who recently requested a trade and is expected to miss Week […]

Bobby Witt Jr. Hits Go-Ahead Single In Win

Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. went 2-for-5 with a pair of singles in Wednesday's 2-1 series-clinching win over the Orioles. The second of the singles was a grounder up the middle in the sixth inning that he was able to beat out, which scored the go-ahead run and would prove to be the […]

Andy Ibanez Hits Go-Ahead, Pinch-Hit Double

Detroit Tigers utility player Andy Ibanez came on as a pinch-hitter during the eighth inning of Wednesday's Wild Card matchup with the Astros and broke open a tie ballgame with a three-run bases-clearing double, putting the Tigers ahead 5-2. That would go on to be the final score, securing the Tigers' series win and a […]

Shohei Ohtani Not Likely To Pitch During Postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes reaffirmed Wednesday that two-way superstar Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is not anticipated to pitch during this year's postseason. Manager Dave Roberts had indicated a couple of weeks back that there was a possibility of Ohtani taking the mound if he was ready and the situation was right, but that […]

IDP Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em for Week 5 - Streamers, Fades, Matchups for Defensive Players

  "It was so close!" A phrase well-known to sports fans and the fantasy community. It means the inches between a run becoming touchdown or a fumble. It’s the penalty that undoes a game-breaking throw or tackle. It is the 0.01 points that separate your fantasy team from victory or defeat. Sometimes, the close misses […]

Is Keaton Mitchell Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell was one of the most explosive and fun players to watch in the NFL last year. In the era of maddeningly lower-scoring offenses and a huge lack of big plays, the speedster is a breath of the purest fresh air from a time before the Industrial Revolution. Mitchell is […]

Luke Musgrave Misses Team's First Practice

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave (ankle) did not participate in Wednesday's team practice. The second-year tight end recorded two limited sessions last week while tending to a quad issue ahead of the Packers' 31-29 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He would ultimately suit up for the contest -- playing 33% of snaps -- […]

Is Khalil Shakir Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir is one fantasy football sleeper who's lived up to the hype for managers this year. Shakir has double-digit PPR fantasy points in all four of his games this season and ranks as the WR20 in PPR scoring. Not bad for someone drafted in the very late rounds or not […]

Cole Kmet Limited Wednesday

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet (knee) was listed as a limited participant on the team's first injury report of the week. The fifth-year tight end was the team's second-leading receiver (34 yards) in their 24-18 win over the Los Angeles Rams, participating in 90% of the snaps. He apparently picked up an injury sometime […]

Is Diontae Johnson Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle) had one of the worst starts of any potential fantasy-relevant receiver in the first two weeks of the season. He totaled just five catches for 34 yards, good for 8.4 PPR fantasy points over two contests. It looked like the beginning of a lost season for the Panthers […]

Breece Hall Gets Vote Of Confidence From Head Coach

Reporters again questioned New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh on Wednesday about the team's running back usage, but he might have hinted that not much will change moving forward. Specifically, Saleh was asked about rookie running back Braelon Allen and whether or not he'd be further integrated into New York's scheme. "He's already been […]

Matt Prater Not Practicing Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Evidently the 40-year-old veteran came out of Sunday's 42-14 loss to the Washington Commanders a bit dinged up. Interestingly enough, Arizona held tryouts last Friday for kickers Anders Carlson and Chad Ryland, while Prater […]

Chase McLaughlin Has Streaming Appeal For Week 5

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been impressive early in the season. He connected on both his field goals last week and converted 3-of-4 extra point attempts during last week's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. McLaughlin has yet to miss a field goal attempt this season and has been one of the more effective […]

Sterling Shepard Has Low-End Flex Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard has been signed to the active roster ahead of the Thursday night matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran wideout was elevated last week with the Bucs being shorthanded at wideout. He hauled in three receptions for 51 yards in the win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Shepard could […]

Tyler Allgeier Deserving Of Greater Share Of Backfield Touches For Week 5

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier showed he deserves a more significant proportion of the Falcons' backfield opportunities when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5. His performance in Week 4 was his best of the season. He turned just eight carries into 60 yards (7.5 yards per carry) and caught two passes […]

Alex Nedeljkovic Out Week-To-Week

Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is considered week-to-week. He suffered a lower-body injury in Monday's preseason game against Detroit, and it looks like it will now take some time before Nedeljkovic is ready to play again. With Nedeljkovic unavailable, we should see a lot of Tristan Jarry to begin the campaign. Meanwhile, Joel […]

Falcons D/ST A Risky Start After First Good Game Of Season

The Atlanta Falcons defense finally put up a good effort against the New Orleans Saints in Week 4. While they did allow 24 points in the game, Atlanta's DST logged a sack, an interception, and two touchdowns. Their 17.00 points mainly were buoyed by the two touchdowns, though, which accounted for 12 of the 17 […]

Blake Lizotte Diagnosed With A Concussion

Pittsburgh Penguins center Blake Lizotte has been diagnosed with a concussion and is out indefinitely. He was hit to the head by a puck in Sunday's preseason game against Ottawa. This is a bad setback for Lizotte, who was gearing up for a fresh start in Pittsburgh. After spending his first five NHL campaigns with […]

Younghoe Koo Primed To Continue Hot Streak

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had his best game of the season in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints. Koo nailed field goals from 53, 44, 42, and 58 yards. He's one of the best kickers in the league and has been perfect during the season so far. He is now impressively 5-for-5 on […]

Chris Godwin Has Low-End WR1 Value

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin has been off to an extremely hot start to begin the season. Godwin has six receptions or more in every game with over 53 yards or more in each of those contests. The veteran wideout has also scored three touchdowns as the move back to the slot has […]

Pius Suter Day-To-Day With An Upper-Body Injury

Vancouver Canucks center Pius Suter has suffered an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day. Suter was hurt in Monday's preseason contest against Edmonton. It looks like he will have a good chance to get healthy for the team's season opener. Vancouver begins the campaign against Calgary on Oct. 9. Suter has been a productive bottom-six […]
