Mike Babcock Under Fire For Alleged Photo Controversy

Columbus Blue Jackets head coach Mike Babcock continues to be under investigation by the NHL and NHLPA for a controversy first brought up by Paul Bissonnette of the Spittin Chiclets podcast. Claims were that Babcock told players to show him the photos on their phones and then put the pictures in a place that was […]

Evan Hull Expected To Return This Season

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said the team expects rookie running back Evan Hull (knee) to be back at some point this season. Hull suffered a knee injury in his NFL debut in the Week 1 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and was put on Injured Reserve this week, meaning he'll have to miss […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Will Be Available In Week 2

Atlanta Falcons running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) will be available to play in Week 2 against the visiting Green Bay Packers after he returned to a full practice this week in all three practices. Patterson is going to fill a joker role in 2023 as a versatile running back and pass-catcher, but that role […]

Curtis Samuel Will Play Against Broncos

Washington Commanders wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hip) was limited in Friday's practice but was taken off the final injury report and will play on Sunday in Denver against the Broncos. Samuel was limited during the practice week, but his injury is minor and he will be out there in three-wide sets for Washington alongside Terry […]

DJ Chark Jr. Limited Again Friday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) was listed as a limited practice participant for the second straight day on Friday. Chark was inactive for the Week 1 loss to the Atlanta Falcons, and his status remains up in the air for a Week 2 meeting with the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night […]

Sam Howell - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

After his first start of the 2023 season, Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell has the task of taking on the Denver Broncos in Week 2. The second-year pro struggled in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, so there's a hope that he can rebound in some fashion against Denver. In the Broncos' Week 1 matchup […]

Carlton Davis Unlikely To Play In Week 2

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that cornerback Carlton Davis (toe) "probably" won't play on Sunday in the Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears after missing practice again on Friday with a toe injury. Davis injured his toe in the Week 1 victory over the Minnesota Vikings and hasn't practiced at all […]

Logan Thomas - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Coming off of a solid performance against the Arizona Cardinals, Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas is looking like a low-end play in Week 2. The Commanders are taking on the Denver Broncos, a team with a solid pass defense. The veteran should see some more decent usage like in Week 1, but their opponent […]

Brian Robinson Jr. - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is drawing a tough matchup in Week 2. The Commanders are taking on the Denver Broncos, a team that just gave up just 45 yards on 19 carries to the reigning rushing champion Josh Jacobs. Not only is Robinson an inefficient back, but he's taking on a defense […]

Jahan Dotson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson could be an intriguing play in Week 2. The Commanders are traveling to the Mile High City to take on the Denver Broncos, a team with a formidable secondary. Fortunately for the former first-rounder, it's looking like his teammate Terry McLaurin is going to be handling All-Pro cornerback Patrick […]

Terry McLaurin - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin is facing a tough matchup in Week 2. The Commanders are taking on the Denver Broncos, and unfortunately for McLaurin, that comes with the tall task of facing off against All-Pro cornerback Patrick Surtain II. In his short career, Surtain has gained a reputation for being a shutdown corner. […]

Jeff McNeil Goes Yard In Win Over D-Backs

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a strikeout in the team's 11-1 blowout victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night. McNeil got the start at the keystone with infield prospect Ronny Mauricio out sick and delivered with his ninth home run of […]

Heston Kjerstad Strikes Out In First Big-League At-Bat

Baltimore Orioles first base prospect Heston Kjerstad didn't make his first major-league start in the 4-3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, but he did get his first big-league at-bat as a pinch-hitter and struck out. One of the team's top overall prospects in the system was thrown into the fire in the […]

Luke Raley Comes Up Clutch For Rays

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Luke Raley finished Thursday's game 2-for-3 with a home run, one RBI and two runs scored in the team's 4-3 victory over the division-rival Baltimore Orioles, with his home run in the seventh inning being the difference-maker. It was nice to see from Raley, who hadn't cleared the fences in 15 […]

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Goes Deep In Losing Effort

Toronto Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. finished Thursday's 9-2 loss to the visiting Texas Rangers by going 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and two strikeouts. Guerrero hit his 22nd home run of the year in the first inning, but the Rangers were able to complete the sweep of […]

Chris Paddack Goes Four Innings In Rehab Start

Minnesota Twins right-hander Chris Paddack (elbow) went four innings in a minor-league rehab start for Double-A Wichita earlier this week, allowing two earned runs on four hits while walking none and striking out six. It was Paddack's second rehab appearance since coming back from Tommy John surgery, and the six strikeouts and no walks have […]

Bailey Ober Recalled To Start On Friday

Minnesota Twins right-hander Bailey Ober has been recalled from Triple-A St. Paul to make the start on Friday against the Chicago White Sox in an excellent matchup. Ober was initially sent to the minors so that the Twins could manage his workload, and the 28-year-old ended up making just one appearance for St. Paul. He's […]

Saints D/ST - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New Orleans Saints defense/special teams is a must-start in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. They caused havoc for Ryan Tannehill in Week 1, and there is no reason to believe that they won't do the same in Week 2 as Carolina quarterback Bryce Young makes just his second career start with a lack […]

Sean Manaea To Make Another Start Sunday

San Francisco Giants left-hander Sean Manaea is scheduled to make another start for the team this Sunday against the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field. Manaea made his first start since May this past Tuesday against the Cleveland Guardians and allowed three runs (one earned) on two hits while walking two and striking out five in […]

Blake Grupe - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints rookie kicker Blake Grupe enjoyed an impressive Week 1, as he had a perfect kicking day in his NFL debut. Grupe should have another friendly matchup in Week 2 and can be safely inserted into lineups as a top-level kicker this week. Grupe drilled a 52-yard field goal in Week 1 and […]

Adolis Garcia Could Rejoin The Team Next Weekend

Texas Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said that outfielder Adolis Garcia (knee) is a possibility to come off the injured list and rejoin the team next weekend in a series against the division-rival Seattle Mariners. Garcia has begun a running program and could be back in the starting lineup as early as next Friday to face […]

Juwan Johnson - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson appeared to be the fourth target in the Saints' offense in Week 1 behind the trio of receivers. Johnson could be touchdown-dependent this season, as he may just not see the weekly volume he did last year unless a receiver suffers an injury. Against Carolina this week, Johnson […]

Michael Thomas - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints veteran wide receiver Michael Thomas looked great in his return to the field in Week 1, earning eight targets. With Derek Carr consistently looking his way, Thomas should be in play as a FLEX option for the rest of the season as long as he is healthy. While the Week 2 matchup […]

Rashid Shaheed - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints second-year receiver Rashid Shaheed broke out in Week 1 with a 5-89-1 line against the Tennessee Titans. Shaheed was highly efficient last year and continued to showcase his explosiveness in Week 1. Against Carolina in Week 2, Shaheed should see enough volume to create more efficient plays. He is in FLEX range […]

Chris Olave - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will look to build off of his strong Week 1 performance on Monday Night Football against the Carolina Panthers this week. Carolina's top cornerback, Jaycee Horn (hamstring), is out for the game which should allow Olave free reign to make some noise yet again. Carolina has a solid […]

Brandin Cooks To Be Game-Time Decision

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that wide receiver Brandin Cooks (knee) will be a game-time decision on Sunday in a Week 2 contest against the visiting New York Jets. Jones added that Cooks doesn't need practice repetitions to be ready to play this weekend after being diagnosed with a sprained […]

Taysom Hill - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end/quarterback Taysom Hill will likely be in his typical role as a gadget player on Monday night against the Carolina Panthers. Hill's value is touchdown-dependent given that he doesn't touch the ball enough to rely on volume. He is a low-end TE2 this week and should not be in lineups given […]

Kendre Miller - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints rookie running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) may make his NFL debut this Monday against the Carolina Panthers. Miller has been limited in practice this week after missing Week 1 with a hamstring injury, and the rookie out of TCU still has a few days to ramp up his action given that the […]

Jamaal Williams - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Jamaal Williams had a heavy workload last week but struggled to get anything going against a stout Titans defensive front. Williams should see a similar workload this week even if Kendre Miller (hamstring) is good to go, and Carolina is a more favorable matchup. The Panthers surrendered 130 rushing yards […]
