Brandon Ingram Sitting During Tuesday's Exhibition

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This isn't a significant injury, but the Pelicans didn't want to risk it in a meaningless game. Trey Murphy should see additional run with Ingram on the sideline. At this point, it's hard to justify taking […]

Bulls Could Rotate Starting Point Guard Spot

The Chicago Bulls might not have a full-time starting point guard to begin the season. Head coach Billy Donovan mentioned that he could rotate the starting guard spot while Lonzo Ball (knee) recovers. That means, Coby White, Ayo Dosunmu, and Goran Dragic could all be in the mix. Possibly, Alex Caruso gets some minutes at […]

Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups and Free Agent Adds - All Positions

It was just a matter of time before the injuries to big-name players hit, especially at the running back position. Those who spent a top pick on Jonathan Taylor seem to have dodged a bullet while those invested in Javonte Williams must now move ahead without him. Let's see what the best options are. Below, […]

FAAB Waiver Wire Bidding - Fantasy Football Pickups to Target for Week 5

Rev up those wallets because Week 4 supplied loads of mayhem for us to react to.

Let's be honest with our team's needs and allocate resources appropriately with roughly […]

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5: Top Free Agent Adds Include Romeo Doubs, George Pickens, Jahan Dotson, Corey Davis

Week 4 was a fun week in the NFL. We got to see Bailey Zappe almost lead the Patriots to a win over the Packers, which is cool for me, a long-time Zappe fan dating back to his time at Houston Baptist University. We also got to see some big wide receiver performances, including DK […]

Tight End Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 5: Top Free Agent Adds Include Tyler Conklin, Mo Alie-Cox, Taysom Hill, Robert Tonyan

2022 has not exactly been the Year of the Tight End in fantasy football. Atlanta’s Kyle Pitts has no touchdowns and three games of 25 receiving yards or less. San Francisco’s George Kittle has all of 28 yards thanks to an early injury. Dallas’ Dalton Schultz has 80 yards on the season and has done […]

Top Quarterback Waiver Wire Pickups and Streamers for Week 5: Jared Goff, Ryan Tannehill, Zach Wilson, Kenny Pickett

Week 4 is coming to a close and teams are continuing their struggles on offense. Just 10 teams scored over 25 points in Week 4. A lot of that comes from another underwhelming passing week as teams struggle to navigate a higher volume of two-deep coverages. Just four quarterbacks (Jared Goff, Matt Ryan, Justin Herbert, […]

A month of the NFL season is in the books, but the streamer game at the kicker position in fantasy football will continue all season.

Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 5: Zach Wilson, Caleb Huntley, Chuba Hubbard, Skyy Moore, Mack Hollins, Mo Alie-Cox

We're almost a quarter way through the NFL season, but it's never time to stop searching for deep league stashes for short or long-term upside. These fantasy football waiver wire pickup suggestions are geared toward leagues with deep benches or 14-plus teams, so obvious pickups like Mike Boone and Tyler Allgeier won't be featured. Instead, […]

IDP Leagues Waiver Wire - Fantasy Football Pickups (Week 5): Rookie CBs Making A Splash

Through one-quarter of the football season, rookie cornerbacks have been performing exceptionally well.

There are many inspiring and unexpected stories behind the names […]

Justice Hill Expected To Miss Time

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (hamstring) is expected to be sidelined for an unknown amount of time, according to head coach Jim Harbaugh. The team doesn't believe it's a serious injury, but they haven't given a timetable for his return. It's a hamstring injury and those do have a tendency to linger. Fantasy managers […]

Jake Elliott Has A Chance To Play In Week 5

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott (leg) has a chance of suiting up in Week 5, according to Eagles special teams coordinator Michael Clay. The team has praised Elliott's toughness and are optimistic that Elliott will be able to suit up against the Arizona Cardinals. However, the team has signed Cameron Dicker to the 53-man roster […]

Melvin Gordon III Viewed As Featured Back

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (neck) was limited during Tuesday's walkthrough practice. Fantasy managers shouldn't be concerned as it sounds like Gordon will be fine for Thursday night football. Broncos offensive coordinator Justin Otten mentioned that the plan is for Gordon to be the featured back going forward. They plan on getting Mike […]

Keenan Allen Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) is currently considered day-to-day after missing each of the last two weeks. It sounds like Allen was progressing well, but suffered a setback late last week which caused him to sit out in Week 4. The organization continues to be cautious with Allen, so fantasy managers won't […]

Spencer Strider Plays Catch Tuesday

Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (oblique) played catch on flat ground on Tuesday for the first time since going on the injured list. However, the Braves won't know how much Strider has progressed until he gets back on a mound as his throwing progression continues. The 23-year-old hasn't pitched since Sept. 18 due to an […]

Juan Soto Being Rested Against Lefty

San Diego Padres outfielder Juan Soto is not in the starting lineup on Tuesday against the San Francisco Giants and left-hander Carlos Rodon.

The Tampa Bay Rays announced that right-hander Drew Rasmussen won't make the start in Game 162 of the regular season on Wednesday against the Boston Red Sox, and they will announce a starter after their game on Tuesday.

Tyler O'Neill Won't Play In Wild-Card Round

St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol said that outfielder Tyler O'Neill (hamstring) hasn't made enough progress with his injury to be in the mix for the team's wild-card roster. O'Neill has been out since Sept. 16, and even if the Cardinals advance to the National League Division Series next week, there's a good chance that […]
