Grigori Denisenko Claimed By Golden Knights

Winger Grigori Denisenko is moving from Florida to Las Vegas after the Golden Knights claimed him off waivers on Saturday. The 23-year-old played against Vegas once in last season's Stanley Cup Finals and had 18 games with the Panthers during the regular season. After being picked 15th in the 2018 NHL Draft, Denisenko has failed […]

Nathan Eovaldi Slated To Start Game 3 Of The ALDS

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi is scheduled to start Game 3 of the ALDS against the Baltimore Orioles on Tuesday. Eovaldi looked sharp in his first playoff start against the Rays on Wednesday, holding Tampa to just one run over 6 2/3 innings while striking out eight. The 33-year-old was mostly solid this season--although, […]

Anthony Richardson Questionable To Return In Week 5

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson (shoulder) is officially questionable to return against the Tennessee Titans. He suffered a serious shoulder injury during the first half of Sunday's game and was taken to the locker room. While the Colts have left the door open for the rookie to return, it would be surprising to see him […]

Colin White Earns Deal With Penguins

Forward Colin White has inked a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. It's a two-way deal that comes with a $775,000 cap hit at the NHL level. Pittsburgh snapped him up after White spent the preseason with the team on a professional tryout agreement. With close to 300 NHL games under his belt, White has […]

Cristian Javier Will Start Game 3 Of The ALDS On Tuesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Cristian Javier is slated to start Game 3 of the ALDS on Tuesday against the Minnesota Twins. Framber Valdez will start Game 2 on Sunday after Justin Verlander blanked the Twins over six innings during Game 1 on Saturday. Javier broke out in a major way in 2022, particularly in the […]

Josh Norris Expected To Miss Start Of Season

Ottawa Senators center Josh Norris (shoulder) looks set to miss the start of the season, with the 24-year-old having suffered a setback in his recovery from shoulder surgery. Norris missed the entire preseason despite head coach D.J. Smith expecting him to be available. "We all thought Josh would go through a little bit of practice, […]

Marcus Smart Dealing With Abdominal Soreness

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (abdomen) is dealing with abdominal soreness. Although the injury is described as "minor," the Grizzlies will play it safe, meaning the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year could miss some or all of the team's preseason contests. Smart, who was traded to Memphis from Boston in June, has averaged 10.6 […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Suffers Strained Calf, Out Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) won't play in Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 34-year-old veteran had the best season of his career in 2022-23, averaging 21.6 points and 41.1% shooting from behind the arc. As a result, fantasy managers have elevated expectations for him heading into the season, regardless if he remains […]

Chandler Zavala Won't Return Due To Neck Injury

Carolina Panthers rookie offensive guard Chandler Zavala (neck) had a scary situation in the first half of the Week 5 game against the Detroit Lions when he went down with a neck injury. Zavala had to be carted off and will not return to the contest. The 24-year-old will be taken to a local hospital, […]

Payton Pritchard Agrees To Extension With Celtics

According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard agreed to a four-year, $30 million (fully guaranteed) extension with the team. The 25-year-old played a career-low 13.4 minutes last season and expressed displeasure regarding his role. As a result, he sought a trade heading into the summer. However, with Grant Williams, […]

James Harden Out Versus Boston

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason meeting with the Celtics. Under normal circumstances, nobody would give much thought to someone missing an exhibition. However, the multi-time All-Star remains hopeful he'll be traded, specifically to the Clippers, meaning he could miss all of Philadelphia's preseason contests ahead of the regular season, […]

Khalil Herbert As A High-Ankle Sprain

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (ankle) is dealing with a high-ankle sprain, according to a source. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported earlier on Sunday that Herbert could miss multiple weeks after getting injured in Thursday night's win over the Washington Commanders, and now we know why. It's bad news for a Bears backfield that […]

Joel Embiid Resting For Preseason Opener

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't suit up in Sunday's preseason opener against Boston. As expected, the Sixers will play safe with the reigning MVP, considering the team will need him healthy through the regular season and into the playoffs. Philly has three exhibition games left before beginning the 2023-24 campaign with a Thursday […]

Marlon Humphrey Making Season Debut Against Steelers

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) will make his 2023 debut in Week 5 against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers after being listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Humphrey will make his first start of the year after recovering from surgery on his foot that he had in August. The 27-year-old will work opposite Brandon Stephens […]

Justice Hill Active In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (foot, hamstring), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 5 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, is officially active on Sunday. Hill returned from a turf-toe injury in the Week 4 win over the Cleveland Browns, but he played just seven offensive snaps and saw three carries for 33 […]

Derek Carr Officially Active For Week 5

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (shoulder) is officially active for Week 5 despite being listed as questionable. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that Carr "is in a better place health-wise than last week" when he went 23-for-37 with 127 yards, zero touchdowns, and one fumble lost. Carr was initially expected to be inactive for […]

Zay Jones Questionable To Return Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Zay Jones (knee) is questionable to return against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. The receiver injured himself in the third quarter of Sunday's game. At the time of his departure, Jones had caught three of five targets for 23 yards and one touchdown. It's worth noting that Jones was questionable […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Active Against Saints

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (thigh) is officially active for Week 5 on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after being listed as questionable to play. The 25-year-old practiced on a limited basis throughout the week and was never really in danger of sitting out this weekend. Stevenson should maintain his lead-back role […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Officially Active

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) is officially active for the Week 5 divisional clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Beckham missed the last two games after injuring his ankle in Week 2, but he was fully expected to return this week and he will be on the field alongside Rashod Bateman […]

Josh Reynolds, Jameson Williams Active For Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receivers Josh Reynolds (groin) and Jameson Williams (non-injury) are active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as questionable. Reynolds, Williams, and Kalif Raymond should all see more opportunities in Amon St. Brown's (abdomen) absence, though Reynolds has the most fantasy appeal of the bunch. It's worth […]

Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown Officially Inactive Sunday

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) and wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) are officially inactive for Week 5 versus the Carolina Panthers. Both players had been listed as doubtful, so their absences come as no surprise. David Montgomery will continue to handle lead-back duties with Gibbs sidelined and could be in line for […]

Saquon Barkley Officially Inactive For Week 5

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) is officially inactive for Week 5 versus the Miami Dolphins. He had been listed as questionable, though the expectation was that he would not suit up. Barkley will miss yet another week due to his high-ankle sprain, giving Matt Breida his third consecutive start. Despite the expanded […]

Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 5: Jonathan Taylor, Alexander Mattison, Brandon Aiyuk

Bye weeks begin in Week 5, making start-or-sit decisions tougher for fantasy managers. It's time for last-minute lineup swaps ahead of the Week 5 slate. Jonathan Taylor, Alexander Mattison, and Brandon Aiyuk are all hot names ahead of Sunday's games. Taylor is set to return from the PUP list, Mattison has been underwhelming, and Aiyuk […]

Rashaad Penny Doubtful For Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles running back Rashaad Penny (illness) has been added to the injury report and is doubtful to play against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Penny hasn't played a down since Week 2, so his absence won't shake things up too much on offense. Look for D'Andre Swift to start, Kenneth Gainwell to carve […]

Jonathan Taylor, Zack Moss To Split Snaps Sunday

Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor and Zack Moss are expected to split snaps in Week 5 versus the Tennessee Titans, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Taylor is making his season debut after spending four weeks on the PUP list, so Indianapolis will ease him back into action by giving Moss a steady dose of […]
