Michael Soroka Being Shut Down For Rest Of The Year

Atlanta Braves right-hander Michael Soroka (forearm), who was placed on the 15-day injured list on Wednesday with right-forearm inflammation, will be shut down for the remainder of the year. However, the inflammation in his arm was the only thing that tests showed, which should be taken as a positive for the oft-injured pitcher. The absence […]

Bengals Defense Hoping To Keep Browns Offense In Check

The Bengals defense had its ups and downs last season. However, despite losing Vonn Bell and Jessie Bates III during the offseason, the team may be more effective in 2023-24.

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday in the lead-up to Week 1 of the 2023 regular season against the Houston Texans.

Texans Place Tytus Howard On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans placed starting right tackle Tytus Howard (hand) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, so he will be forced to miss the first four games of the 2023 regular season.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~43 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~50 ANALYSIS:  Dameon Pierce finished just short of the 1000-yard mark last year (939 yards) but would have cleared it easily had he not suffered a high-ankle sprain late in the season.

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (hamstring) was unable to take part in the team's first official practice of the 2023 regular season on Wednesday.

Tyler Boyd Practices In Full On Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd (toe) practiced in full on Wednesday, meaning he'll likely be available for Week 1 against Cleveland, barring a setback.

We had a very interesting Week 1 capped off by what many are saying is the end of an era. I won't go that far, but I also was not surprised. There were some things that surprised me, including Coach Prime's Ralphies having their way with the Toadies in Fort Worth. It's time to recap […]

Isaiah Hodgins (WR, NYG) - 2023 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~172 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~230 ANALYSIS:  The Giants traded for Darren Waller, who is expected to become Daniel Jones’ top target, pushing both Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins down the depth chart.

Austin Gomber Heading To Injured List

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher Austin Gomber (back) was skipped in his last start and will now be placed on the injured list due to back tightness.

Riley Adams Leaves In Middle Of At-Bat

Washington Nationals catcher Riley Adams (hand, wrist) was forced to leave Wednesday's game with a 1-2 count after fouling a ball off. Adams hurt his left hand or wrist and couldn't continue.

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow picked up a quality start and a win Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox. He struck out 14 batters in six innings.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~117 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~142 ANALYSIS: Even though the offseason departures of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Mecole Hardman Jr. have extricated both wide receivers from Kansas City’s depth chart, the prospective target distribution among the Chiefs’ remaining arsenal of receivers has been difficult to predict. The situation also remains unclear after Kadarius […]

Cody Bellinger Homers Again Wednesday

Chicago Cubs outfielder/first baseman Cody Bellinger went 2-for-4 with two runs scored, two RBI, and his 24th home run in a win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday afternoon.
