Devin Booker Officially Out Against OKC

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus OKC. He injured his ankle and exited Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets and didn't return, so most had already planned to be without him. Although X-rays were negative, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss at least a few games. Luckily for […]

Jusuf Nurkic Probable On Sunday Night

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (neck) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday night's showdown with OKC. The Suns recently listed their official injury designations, and Nurkic is on the report because of neck spasms. Fortunately, it doesn't appear it will be enough to keep the 29-year-old off the court. However, things happen, so Bol […]

Khris Middleton Not Expected Back On Monday

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is unlikely to return for Monday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He has practiced lately, albeit in a limited capacity. However, the veteran isn't ready, although there have been reports indicating things are moving in a positive direction. Middleton hasn't played in nearly a month, and it's unknown […]

Antoine Winfield Jr. Expected To Receive Franchise Tag

Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. is expected to receive the franchise tag by the deadline on Tuesday absent a new deal, but the two sides will continue talking over the coming days in hopes of reaching a long-term contract extension. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler writes that there's a feeling inside the league that Winfield […]

Bills Plan To Release Nyheim Hines

The Buffalo Bills plan to release running back Nyheim Hines (knee) this week, according to a source. Hines most likely will be back for training camp this summer after injuring his ACL last summer, but he'll be doing it with a different team. Hines injured his ACL during a jet-ski accident last July and was […]

Dak Prescott Not A Lock To Receive Extension From Cowboys?

ESPN's Dan Graziano isn't as convinced as most people that quarterback Dak Prescott will get a lucrative contract extension from the Dallas Cowboys. His current salary cap number for 2024 is $59.455 million, which is huge, and an extension would be the obvious way to reduce that number. However, Prescott has a lot of leverage […]

Patriots Expected To Hold Onto No. 3 Pick

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that some thought early this week that a trade down out of the No. 3 overall pick in this year's NFL draft was possible for the New England Patriots, but by the end of the week, the sense seemed to be that the Patriots would stay put and take one of […]

Commanders Have Received Inquiries For No. 2 Pick

The Washington Commanders have received trade inquiries from teams on the No. 2 overall pick in this year's draft. These inquiries might not be hard, actionable offers, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, but there is interest from teams in moving up. Among the clubs that could be on the quarterback radar are the New York […]

Vikings Making An Effort To Re-Sign Danielle Hunter

The Minnesota Vikings have made an effort to re-sign edge rusher Danielle Hunter. He had 16.5 sacks last season and has 27 total sacks over the last two years, so he could be the top edge rusher on the market this offseason and would likely generate interest from multiple teams. Most of Minnesota's attention has […]

Brandin Podziemski Out Again Versus Boston

Golden State Warriors guard Brandin Podziemski (knee) remains out for Sunday's game in Boston. He'll now miss a second consecutive contest. But considering he had a questionable tag, it suggests he could be back when the Warriors meet the Bucks on Wednesday night. Nonetheless, with Andrew Wiggins (personal) also out, Klay Thompson, who had 14 […]

Stephen Curry Expected To Suit Up Versus Boston

Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (knee) is expected to face the Celtics on Sunday. The 35-year-old logged at least 30 minutes in each game of the Warriors' current road trip, so many had assumed he'd sit this one out. However, barring a setback during warmups, he'll be out there. While Curry's presumed availability should […]

Patriots Could Be In Play For Baker Mayfield

New England Patriots personnel leader Eliot Wolf and newly hired Alonzo Highsmith both played a pivotal role in drafting quarterback Baker Mayfield first overall five years ago when they were with the Cleveland Browns, which has ESPN's Jeremy Fowler connecting the dots and suggesting that the Patriots could look to sign Mayfield in free agency […]

Kirk Cousins Not Willing To Give Vikings A Discount?

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that the sense he's getting is that the Minnesota Vikings want impending quarterback Kirk Cousins (Achilles) to return, but Cousins has a very specific idea in mind for what he wants in a new contract, and the Vikings so far have not made an offer that matches it. Cousins and his […]

Tristan Beck Moved To 60-Day Injured List

To make room on the active 40-man roster for newcomer Matt Chapman, the San Francisco Giants placed right-hander Tristan Beck (arm) on the 60-day injured list on Sunday. Beck could be forced to miss the entire 2024 season. The 27-year-old is set to have vascular surgery on Monday to fix an aneurysm that was discovered […]

Mets Option Luisangel Acuna To Triple-A

The New York Mets optioned infield prospect Luisangel Acuna and left-hander Kolton Ingram to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday and reassigned outfielder Drew Gilbert, right-handers Eric Orze, Cam Robinson, Christian Scott and Mike Vasil, catcher Kevin Parada, infielder Jett Williams and left-hander Danny Young to minor-league camp. Acuna, 21, is one of the Mets' top prospects, […]

Brandon Miller Cleared To Play Against Toronto

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (back) will play on Sunday versus the Toronto Raptors. The rookie had a team-high 21 points in Thursday's loss to Milwaukee. However, he suffered a back injury during the contest and didn't suit up on Friday night against Philadelphia. But Miller's absence was short-lived, so he'll return to the floor […]

Nick Lodolo To See Specialist On Monday

Cincinnati Reds left-hander Nick Lodolo (leg) is throwing a side bullpen session in camp on Sunday and will see a specialist for his left tibia to undergo tests on Monday. The outcome of those tests will likely determine whether he can be ready for the start of the 2024 regular season or soon thereafter. A […]

Bruce Brown Now Questionable For Sunday Night

Toronto Raptors forward Bruce Brown (knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Hornets. He's averaged just 8.6 points in 19 games since being traded to Toronto, down from 12.1 points while with the Pacers. However, with Scottie Barnes (hand) out indefinitely, Brown has a chance to get more involved moving ahead. While there's a […]

Yankees Option Luis Gil To Triple-A

The New York Yankees optioned right-handers Luis Gil and Yoendrys Gomez to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday and also reassigned right-handers Chase Hampton and Art Warren to minor-league camp. In his two Grapefruit League appearances, Gil gave up two runs while walking two and striking out three. It's not a huge surprise that the 25-year-old will […]

Alex Verdugo Scratched With Leg Contusion

New York Yankees outfielder Alex Verdugo (leg) was scratched from Sunday's Grapefruit League lineup on Sunday with a left-leg contusion that he suffered when he was hit by a pitch on Saturday. Verdugo is just dealing with a bruise, so it's nothing serious. The 27-year-old should be able to return to the team's spring training […]

Justin Verlander Throws Bullpen Session

Houston Astros right-hander Justin Verlander (shoulder) threw around 60 pitches during his bullpen session on Sunday morning. Verlander worked out of both the stretch and from the windup and appeared to throw some breaking pitches. The Astros are expected to determine if he's ready to face hitters next in camp. The 41-year-old's shoulder didn't respond […]

R.J. Hampton Signing 10-Day Deal With Washington

Guard R.J. Hampton has agreed to a 10-day contract with the Washington Wizards. The 2020 No. 24 overall pick has bounced around since entering the league, suiting up for the Nuggets, Magic, Pistons, and Heat. He appeared in eight games for Miami this season. However, Hampton averaged just 1.3 points and 1.0 assists before he […]

Gunnar Henderson Expected To Play In Spring Game Monday

Baltimore Orioles manager Brandon Hyde said that third baseman Gunnar Henderson (oblique) is expected to play in the team's Grapefruit League game on Monday. The Orioles have held Henderson out of the early spring training slate due to an oblique injury that he suffered early in camp. The 22-year-old's injury was never considered serious, though, […]

Josh Jung Doing "Baseball Activities"

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that third baseman Josh Jung (calf) has begun doing "baseball activities" at camp. Jung is taking some swings in the batting cages on Sunday. Jung, the team's starting third baseman, suffered a left-calf strain early in spring training and is just now resuming baseball activities. As long as he […]

Kristaps Porzingis Ruled Out For Sunday Afternoon

Boston Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis (quadriceps) won't play on Sunday afternoon against the Warriors. He has missed 15 games this season already, so fantasy managers are hardly surprised by the latest update. There should be plenty of opportunities for others without the 2015 No. 4 overall pick in the lineup. Of course, Jayson Tatum, Jrue […]

Braves GM “Highly Confident” Ronald Acuna Jr. Will Be Ready

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. (knee) has a great chance to be in the Opening Day lineup, according to the team's general manager Alex Anthopoulos. Anthopoulos was on MLB Network Radio on Sunday morning with Jon Morosi and said he was "highly confident" that Acuna would be in the team's Opening Day lineup. The […]

Expert NBA DFS Picks for DraftKings and FanDuel (3/3/24)

We have a solid five-game slate on tap in the NBA tonight, with the Knicks-Cavaliers and Thunder-Phoenix games being the national TV matchups on ESPN. Those should be incredible, tightly-contested matchups, but we DFS degenerates need to be laser-focused on the Pacers-Spurs affair in San Antonio. That game has the slate's highest implied total and […]

German Marquez Set To Begin Throwing Bullpen Sessions This Week

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher German Marquez (elbow) is scheduled to start throwing bullpen sessions this week, according to general manager Bill Schmidt. Marquez, who underwent Tommy John surgery last season, hasn't had any bullpen sessions since his surgery. The 29-year-old veteran started just four games last season before landing on the injured list with an […]

James Wood Tearing Up Spring Training

Washington Nationals outfielder James Wood is raking through the first eight games of Grapefruit League play. The 21-year-old prospect is slashing .500/.636/1.063 with three home runs, six RBI, and one stolen base over 22 plate appearances. He's also walked six times and only struck out thrice. In his most recent contest, he hit cleanup and […]
