The 24-year-old tallied 37 points (five goals, […]

Justin Danforth Remains Sidelined Thursday

Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Justin Danforth (wrist) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against Pittsburgh. The 31-year-old had wrist surgery during the offseason and only recently started to work on stickhandling.

MLB DFS: DraftKings, FanDuel Daily Fantasy Baseball Picks (10/3/24) - Today's Top Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! After the Tigers, Royals, and Padres swept their opponents, we are left with one Game 3 showdown between the Mets and Brewers. It'll be Jose Quintana versus Tobias Myers to start, but DFS managers should expect both teams to use their entire bullpens to advance to the next round.  For showdown mode […]

Erik Gudbranson To Sit Out Thursday's Preseason Game

Columbus Blue Jackets defenseman Erik Gudbranson (lower body) is set to miss a second consecutive preseason game on Thursday versus Pittsburgh. It's been reported that Gudbranson is dealing with a "minor" lower-body injury, so he could still be fine for the start of the regular season. Gudbranson will begin his third campaign in Columbus. The […]

Thursday Night Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em - Buccaneers vs. Falcons Matchups

Bijan Robinson was the subject of a lot of discussions this week after coach Raheem Morris’ “stats are for losers” comment when Kyle Pitts had zero points, and Robinson only play...

Luke Hughes Remains 5-7 Weeks Away From Returning

New Jersey Devils defenseman Luke Hughes (shoulder) has yet to resume skating and remains 5-7 weeks away from being able to return to action. Hughes suffered a shoulder injury in mid-September and is set to miss the first month of the regular season. Hughes had a highly productive debut campaign in 2023-24 with 47 points […]

Jared McCann Misses Preseason Game With A Lower-Body Injury

Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann (lower body) was a late scratch for Wednesday's preseason action against Edmonton. He left the warm-ups early, and the team announced that McCann had sustained a lower-body injury. The severity of the injury is unclear at present. Seattle will be desperate to have its top scorer available for the start […]

Artturi Lehkonen Skates In Non-Contact Jersey

Colorado Avalanche left wing Artturi Lehkonen (shoulder) wore a non-contact jersey in Wednesday's practice. The Finnish forward is recovering from shoulder surgery, and the Avalanche are expected to start the season without Lehkonen. However, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar has said that Lehkonen will be ready to quickly return to the lineup once he's cleared […]

We have a double dip on Thursday for the first time in a while and four games on Friday. That gives us six chances to make some money before the 43 games on Saturday. First, we'll look back at how we did in Week 5. I am in the process of compiling a spreadsheet of […]

2025 NFL Mock Draft Predictions: Still-Too-Early Edition

Hey, fantasy football fans and draft junkies! We're already a month into the 2024 NFL season and you’re here because, like me, you can't get enough of mock drafts. And even though we're months away from locking in a final draft order and nailing down player rankings, it’s the perfect time to get a leg […]

Fantasy Football Injury Reports for Tight Ends - Updates for Evan Engram, Trey McBride, George Kittle, Cole Kmet

Week 5 will mean time off for the Lions, Chargers, Eagles, and Titans. With these teams at their bye week, fantasy managers will be without Sam LaPorta and Dallas Goedert. But it’s business as usual for other clubs, with tight ends around the National Football League in danger of sitting. Being up-to-date on NFL injury […]

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 […]
