The G-Men are going to stick with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito as […]

Rashod Bateman Feeling Better Thursday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday after he sat out with an illness on Wednesday. Coming off a bye, Bateman should now be good to go for the Week 14 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams. Even with tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) expected to miss the […]

Wander Suero Signs With Astros

Free-agent right-hander Wander Suero signed a minor-league deal with the Houston Astros on Thursday. Suero will simply give the Astros some extra relief depth entering the 2024 season.

Red Sox Involved With Shota Imanaga

The Boston Red Sox are one of many teams interested in Japanese free-agent left-hander Shota Imanaga this offseason.

They are also in on free-agent starters Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Jordan Montgomery and Seth Lugo, among others, and they could […]

Giants, Padres Interested In Harrison Bader

The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres have been active on center fielders this offseason, including Harrison Bader.

The Padres just dealt outfielders Juan Soto and Trent Grisham in a blockbuster deal […]

Elijah Mitchell Misses Another Practice

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) was unable to suit up for Thursday's practice session. His status for Week 14 is in doubt after being absent for the first two practice sessions of the week. Mitchell has been operating as the primary backup to Christian McCaffrey. If Mitchell sits, McCaffrey will likely see […]

Red Sox Not Ready To Make Masataka Yoshida A Full-Time DH

There has been speculation that the Boston Red Sox want to move outfielder Masataka Yoshida to a designated hitter role, but chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has been preaching the importance of Yoshida in the field. The team still thinks Yoshida has value as a defender in the outfield, and manager Alex Cora thinks added […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) was able to get through another full practice session on Thursday. This is now back-to-back days that Jefferson has been a full participant in practice. At the moment, all signs are pointing to Jefferson being active for the Week 14 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. His return […]

Red Sox Interested In Ha-Seong Kim?

Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said the team is currently engaged in conversations for a second baseman in free agency and the trade market, but it seems "more likely that would be a trade pursuit." Boston prefers a strong defensive second baseman, which makes Ha-Seong Kim, Whit Merrifield and Brandon Drury more […]

Alex Highsmith Downgraded To Out

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith (neck) has been downgraded to out for the rest of Thursday's game against the New England Patriots. Highsmith was originally listed as questionable after exiting during the first half of this game. Considering the injury, the Steelers have decided to take the cautious approach and hold out Highsmith for the […]

Mets, Pete Alonso Haven't Talked Extension

The New York Mets and All-Star first baseman Pete Alonso have not talked about a long-term contract extension yet this offseason, according to a source. Alonso notably hired Scott Boras as his agent back in October and he isn't scheduled to reach free agency until after the 2025 season. There wasn't much rush to talk […]

Joshua Palmer Limited On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (knee) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This marks back-to-back limited practice sessions for Palmer to begin the week. His 21-day window to return is open, so possibly Palmer gets back on the field for the Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos. If active, Palmer would […]

Kareem Hunt Gets In Limited Practice Session

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (groin) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This is good news after Hunt was unable to practice at all on Wednesday. It sounds like Hunt is making progress ahead of the Week 14 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he sits, Jerome Ford and Pierre Strong Jr. […]

Yankees Haven't Had Extension Talks With Juan Soto

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said that the team hasn't had any conversations with recently acquired outfielder Juan Soto about a long-term contract extension. Cashman and the Yankees understand that Soto could only be a short-term acquisition, but even so, the left-handed slugger will make the Bombers much better offensively in 2024. The […]

Tyler Boyd Gets Added To Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (ankle) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. Boyd wasn't on the injury report on Wednesday, but appears to have injured his ankle at some point.

Dawson Knox Remains Full Participant On Thursday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (wrist) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. This marks back-to-back days that Knox has been able to practice in full capacity. The Bills opened up their 21-day window for Knox to return on Wednesday. Given his progress, there's a chance that Knox suits up […]

Aaron Judge's Toe Injury "A Resolved Issue"

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge's (toe) injury is "a resolved issue," according to general manager Brian Cashman. "We think it's behind him." Judge never required surgery for a torn ligament in his right big toe that he suffered when he crashed into the outfield wall at Dodgers Stadium on June 4. It was an […]

Jamal Murray Considered Probable For Friday

Denver Nuggets guard Jamal Murray (ankle) is listed as probable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Murray sat out on Saturday, but was able to return and play 29 minutes during Wednesday's game. It's uncertain if head coach Mike Malone will continue to have Murray under a minutes limit. If he does, Reggie […]

LeBron James To Play On Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (calf) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He was listed as questionable coming in, but it appears James is good to go for this game. It's also worth noting that center Anthony Davis (hip) and forward Jarred Vanderbilt (heel) are also active for this […]

Malcolm Brogdon Questionable For Friday's Game

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran guard was forced to exit early during Wednesday's game due to right knee soreness. There's a good chance that the Blazers take the cautious approach and hold Brogdon out on Friday. Matisse Thybulle started during […]

Deandre Ayton Unlikely To Suit Up Friday

Portland Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Ayton was unable to play on Wednesday due to right knee soreness. It appears the Blazers are going to hold him out for at least one more game. If he sits, Doup Reath is expected to remain […]

Durham Smythe Misses Practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe (ankle) was unable to practice with the rest of the team on Thursday. Smythe apparently injured his ankle in the Week 13 win over the Washington Commanders and is now up in the air to play on Monday Night Football in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. Fantasy managers […]

Jalen Duren Will Miss Next Two Weeks

Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (ankle) is expected to be sidelined for the next two weeks. The big man has been dealing with ankle issues throughout the season. Duren was able to play 30 minutes during Wednesday's contest. However, it appears the 20-year-old suffered a left ankle sprain during that game. His absence is going […]

Jordan Clarkson Questionable For Friday

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Clarkson has missed each of the last three games while dealing with a left hamstring strain. The good news is that Clarkson was a full participant during Thursday's practice. His return to the rotation would push Ochai […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2 ANALYSIS: Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua had a very tough Week 13 matchup against a Cleveland Browns team that allowed the fewest passing yards per game, but the rookie came through, catching four passes for 105 yards and a touchdown. That was the […]

De'Von Achane Listed With Ribs Injury

Miami Dolphins rookie running back De'Von Achane (ribs) was able to practice in full on Thursday, but he was listed with a ribs injury instead of a knee injury that planted him on Injured Reserve earlier in 2023.

Jayden Reed - Week 14 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed has been targeted five or more times in four consecutive games as quarterback Jordan Love has worked to get the rookie second-round pick more involved in the Packers offense.

Raheem Mostert Sits Out On Thursday

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (knee) was held out of the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, as has become the norm for him this year. Mostert has been getting a veteran rest day early in the week before returning to practice and suiting up on Sundays. Fantasy managers should prepare to […]

Tyreek Hill Picks Up DNP In First Practice

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (ankle) was listed as a non-participant for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday. The Dolphins gave their best player a veteran rest day, so we should expect Hill to return to practice on Friday and eventually be fine to suit up on Monday Night Football against […]
