Connor Joe Absent On Wednesday

Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman/outfielder Connor Joe is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Washington Nationals and right-hander Jackson Rutledge, who is making his MLB debut this evening in Pittsburgh. Joe got the starting nod at first base on Tuesday but had a tough night, going 0-for-4 with a walk while stranding a whopping […]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Promoted To Active Roster

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is being promoted to the 53-man active roster. In a corresponding move, the team placed safety Caden Sterns (knee) on Injured Reserve. Humphrey caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in the Week 1 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The 25-year-old spent three seasons […]

Christian Encarnacion-Strand Back In Action Wednesday

Cincinnati Reds infielder Christian Encarnacion-Strand is back in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Detroit Tigers and left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez. The rookie hasn't appeared since Saturday against the Cardinals as he also sat out Sunday before Monday's off day. It's been a decent initial showing for the 23-year-old who owns a .260 average with […]

Terron Armstead To Practice On Wednesday

Miami Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead (ankle) is returning to practice on Wednesday and will "do a little bit," according to head coach Mike McDaniel. The four-time Pro Bowler suffered an ankle injury on August 17 and has not practiced since. Getting him back will be significant for the Dolphins offense that scored 36 points […]

Zack Moss At Practice Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (forearm) is at practice on Wednesday after missing the season-opening loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Moss suffered a broken arm early in training camp but is trending toward a return soon. In Week 2, the Colts draw a favorable matchup against the Houston Texans, who have struggled to contain […]

Mike Yastrzemski Taking A Seat Wednesday Versus Lefty

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski is not in the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon versus the Cleveland Guardians and left-hander Logan Allen. The lefty-swinging Yastrzemski hit leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk in his club's 3-1 loss to the Guardians on Tuesday night but will yield right field to youngster Luis Matos on Wednesday […]

Mark Andrews Practices On Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (quad) participated in practice on Wednesday. The Pro Bowler missed the Week 1 contest against the Houston Texans, but his early-week participation is a good sign for Week 2. Baltimore squares off with the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2, and Andrews is a must-start in all matchups. If he […]

Jaycee Horn Dealing With Serious Hamstring Injury

Carolina Panthers cornerback Jaycee Horn (hamstring) is reportedly dealing with a serious hamstring injury after being banged up in the Week 1 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. According to Panthers head coach Frank Reich, surgery and a stint on Injured Reserve are both options for the former first-round pick. Horn has played in just 17 […]

Cleveland Browns Defense (D/ST) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 31% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Cleveland’s defense looked elite in their Week 1 matchup against the Bengals. They allowed just three points to Cincinnati and held Joe Burrow to a Week 1 low 2.6 pass yards per attempt. Having a dominant pass rusher like Za'Darius Smith play alongside Myles […]

Andres Gimenez Returns To Starting Lineup Wednesday

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez will return to the starting lineup Wednesday afternoon versus the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Kyle Harrison. Gimenez didn't start Cleveland's 3-1 win on Tuesday night but he did strike out in a pinch-hitting appearance in the ninth inning. The 25-year-old has taken a step back at the plate […]

Garrett Bradbury Out, Christian Darrisaw Questionable For Thursday Night

Minnesota Vikings center Garrett Bradbury (back) has been ruled out and tackle Christian Darrisaw (ankle) is officially questionable for the Thursday Night Football contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. A matchup with the elite Eagles defensive line is not a good time to deal with key offensive line injuries, so the Minnesota offense could be mightily […]

Elias Diaz Sitting Wednesday Versus Cubs

Colorado Rockies catcher Elias Diaz is not in the club's starting lineup for Wednesday afternoon's contest against the Chicago Cubs and right-hander Jameson Taillon. It's not a surprise to see the All-Star backstop get the afternoon off following a night contest on Tuesday in which he logged a trio of singles and an RBI in […]

Bears Not Ruling Out Benching Chase Claypool

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus isn't ruling out the possibility of wide receiver Chase Claypool being a healthy scratch for the Week 2 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. "We're looking at all possibilities right now," Eberflus said. Claypool was a disappointment for the Bears after Chicago acquired him from the Pittsburgh Steelers in […]

Ryan Tannehill (QB, TEN) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 2QB Leagues ROSTERED IN: 7% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Ryan Tannehill was nothing short of atrocious in the Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints, completing 50% of his passes for 198 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions. However, Tennessee looked like a more pass-happy offense under new offensive coordinator Tim Kelly, […]

Treylon Burks Tending To Personal Matter

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Treylon Burks is not practicing on Wednesday due to a personal matter. Burks is expected to return to practice on Thursday, so his availability for Week 2 against the Los Angeles Chargers shouldn't be in question. The 23-year-old wideout had a disappointing Week 1 performance […]

Leonard Fournette (RB, FA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 4% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Leonard Fournette looked like a shell of his former self last season, rushing for just 668 yards and three touchdowns on 3.5 yards per carry. However, he caught 73 of his 83 targets for 523 yards and three receiving scores. J.K. Dobbins […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out Sick Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) will sit out of practice on Wednesday because he's feeling under the weather, according to head coach Andy Reid. It would be a surprise if Edwards-Helaire is still feeling too sick to play this Sunday for a Week 2 meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the season-opening […]

Travis Kelce To Practice In Limited Fashion Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (knee) will practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, according to head coach Andy Reid, who said Kelce has "made progress." Kelce was inactive in the Week 1 loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday night due to a bone bruise he suffered in practice last Tuesday when […]

Breece Hall Limited To Begin Practice Week

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The Jets continue to ease Hall back into action after he suffered a torn ACL in his rookie campaign, but he certainly didn't look like a player coming off a devastating knee injury in the Week 1 […]

Justin Fields Thinks He Played Too Conservatively

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields said, "I feel like I was a little too conservative at times" in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Green Bay Packers last Sunday. Fields went 24-for-37 for 216 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing the ball nine times for 59 yards in a blowout loss. The […]

Braxton Berrios (WR, MIA) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Braxton Berrios did not deliver a notable fantasy performance in Week 1, catching just three of his five targets for 42 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. However, the veteran wideout is a useful bench stash as a "handcuff" wide […]

Darren Waller Dealing With Lingering Hamstring Issue

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring), who isn't practicing on Wednesday, revealed that his hamstring injury is the "same" right hamstring that landed him on Injured Reserve with the Las Vegas Raiders last year, although it's a slightly different issue. Waller got through the Week 1 beatdown at the hands of the Dallas […]

Flag Hunting: PGA Betting Picks - Fortinet Championship

Just three weeks after crowning our 2023 FedEx Cup Champion, the PGA Tour is back to start its race for the 2024 Season-Long title. The “Swing Season,” will be taking on a bit of a different role in 2024, as instead of being an optional, uncorrelated set of events for players to accrue FedEx Cup […]

Trey Palmer (WR, TB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Trey Palmer caught two of his three targets for eight yards and a touchdown in his NFL debut against the Minnesota Vikings. He is already starting in three wide receiver sets alongside Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. However, he'll be relegated to the […]

Jayden Reed (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jayden Reed didn't have the Week 1 breakout performance many were hoping for, but he'll continue to be the starting slot receiver in an offense that looks like it could exceed expectations. The rookie wideout caught just two of his five targets for […]

Jose Miranda To Have Surgery Thursday

Minnesota Twins third baseman Jose Miranda (shoulder) is set to have surgery on his right shoulder on Thursday. The Twins will provide more information on Miranda's surgery after the operation this week, but he will obviously not play again in 2023. Barring a setback over the winter, the 25-year-old should be ready to go for […]

Curtis Samuel (WR, WAS) - Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 10% of Leagues ANALYSIS: In Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals, Curtis Samuel led the Commanders in receptions (five) and receiving yards (54). He caught 100% of his targets and rushed once for six yards. The veteran wideout is unlikely to provide consistent fantasy production, but he […]
