Michael Gallup Likely To Be Eased In

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy indicated that the team will likely ease wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) into action if he makes his season debut in Week 3 against the New York Giants on Monday night. "I don't see Michael (Gallup) playing 70 plays in the game. It is his first game back," McCarthy […]

Rondale Moore Working On The Side

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) was seen working on the side in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Moore missed Wednesday's practice and doesn't particularly look close to making his season debut in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He'll have a chance to return to practice on […]

James Conner Returns To Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was seen at Thursday's practice after he didn't practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals are calling Conner day-to-day, and his return to practice on Thursday is good news that he'll have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He's the team's clear lead back […]

Chris Godwin, Julio Jones Miss Another Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) still aren't at practice on Thursday. Neither played last week either, and with Mike Evans suspended for Week 3 against the Green Bay Packers, the Bucs and quarterback Tom Brady could be down to Breshad Perriman, Russell Gage and Scotty Miller as their […]

Ramon Laureano Expected To Miss Rest Of The Year

Oakland Athletics center fielder Ramon Laureano (hamstring) is expected to miss the rest of the season after being placed on the 10-day injured list last Saturday with a right hamstring strain. "I'm kind of sure it's going to be a season-ending (injury)," manager Mark Kotsay said. Still, Laureano will begin a rehab program in the […]

Matt Thaiss Not Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels catcher Matt Thaiss is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers and a left-handed starter. Thaiss has gone hitless in eight at-bats in his last three games, so it's time for the Angels to try someone new behind the dish. He's hitting just .222 (10-for-45) with two homers, […]

Eugenio Suarez Starting To Swing

Seattle Mariners third baseman Eugenio Suarez (finger), who was put on the injured list on Saturday with a fractured right index finger, has started taking light swings again with both a softer ball and regular baseballs. He's scheduled to take batting practice during the weekend series against the Kansas City Royals. "Geno feels much better," […]

Blake Snell Fantastic Against The Cardinals

San Diego Padres left-hander Blake Snell was fantastic in his outing on Wednesday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Snell threw seven shutout innings, giving up only two hits while walking two and striking out 13 in the 1-0 win. His 13 K's tied a career-high to help him pick up his eighth win of the […]

Is James Conner Hurt or Healthy? Is James Conner Playing in Week 3 for Fantasy Football?

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner has been a key asset for fantasy managers for years now. After finishing 2021 as the RB5 in PPR formats, Conner was again expected to produce at a high level in 2022. Conner has gotten off to a slow start this season, however. He has yet to surpass either […]

Is Justin Herbert Healthy Or Injured? Will Herbert Be Active In Week 3?

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was a consensus top-three quarterback in fantasy drafts before the season. Herbert has been elite as expected over his first two games of the season, throwing six touchdowns to one interception. He did not emerge from a Week 2 loss to the Chiefs unscathed, however, as he injured his […]

Brendan Rodgers Still Out Thursday

Colorado Rockies second baseman Brendan Rodgers (hamstring) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Rodgers is dealing with a hamstring injury and was last in the lineup on Sunday. There's a chance he'll be back in the lineup this weekend against the San Diego Padres, though, since his MRI […]

Is Jerry Jeudy Hurt or Healthy? Is Jerry Jeudy Playing in Week 3 for Fantasy Football?

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy was considered a prime breakout candidate this season. With Denver acquiring former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, the Broncos' offense was expected to be conducive to strong seasons from its wideouts. A long touchdown in Week 1 helped Jeudy to a great fantasy performance. However, his outing last week was […]

Is Dalton Schultz Hurt or Healthy? Is Dalton Schultz Playing in Week 3 for Fantasy Football?

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz was the recipient of quite a bit of hype this offseason. With Amari Cooper leaving Dallas via trade, Schultz was expected to take advantage of the vacated targets. Schultz had a solid opening performance, gathering seven catches for 62 yards. In Week 2, though, he made just two catches […]

Stephen Vogt To Retire After The Season

Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt announced that he will retire from professional baseball after this season. Vogt will retire a 10-year veteran (six seasons with the A's) in which he was a two-time All-Star. The 37-year-old played for the A's, Rays, Diamondbacks, Giants, Braves and Brewers during his career. Vogt currently has a .239/.302/.406 slash […]

Is Kadarius Toney Hurt or Healthy? Will Toney Play in Week 3 for Fantasy Football?

New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney has been quiet to start the 2022 season, catching just two of three targets for zero yards while adding 23 yards on two rushes. After being drafted in the first round last year by former general manager Dave Gettleman, the second-year wideout showed that he can be an […]

Are the Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa for Real?

The Miami Dolphins' victory over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 2 of the 2022 NFL season proved to be one for the record books, both on a team and individual level. The real headline was the record-setting performance by QB Tua Tagovailoa, who was nothing more than a deep sleeper in most fantasy drafts heading […]

C.J. Cron Out Against Giants

Colorado Rockies first baseman C.J. Cron (hand) is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the San Francisco Giants. Cron was hit in the hand by a pitch on Wednesday and is dealing with a left hand contusion, so he'll sit out for at least one game. The right-handed power hitter is batting .238 […]

Shohei Ohtani Not Starting Thursday

Los Angeles Angels designated hitter Shohei Ohtani is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Texas Rangers. It looks to be just a normal day of rest for the 28-year-old two-way superstar. In 16 games this month, Ohtani has gone 16-for-61 (.262) with four home runs, seven RBI and nine runs scored. He's […]

Is Julio Jones Healthy or Injured? Will Jones Be Active in Week 2?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Julio Jones made his debut with his new team in Week 1. However, as practices progressed leading up to Week 2, an injury cast some doubt on the veteran wide receiver's availability for this Sunday. Now, as the Buccaneers take on the New Orleans Saints, some fantasy managers may be […]

Keep Or Cut: Time To Drop Kadarius Toney In Fantasy Football?

It is still far too early in the season to be certain of a player’s long-term fantasy football outlook. Unfortunately, judgments and tough decisions must be made as productive prospects are available on waivers and disappointing assets are clogging your bench. One player firmly in the latter category that has been the subject of much […]

The Case For Carson Wentz: Why Washington's QB Can Continue To Succeed

As someone with no ties to either Carson Wentz or his previous teams, I like to consider myself an impartial observer when it comes to the much-maligned signal caller that has now been shown the door by not one, but two QB-starved franchises in Philadelphia and Indianapolis. As Wentz entered his first campaign for a […]

This is the second week of this series where I dive into offensive areas that will improve or decline based on past coaching trends in order to glean insight as to fantasy football value. In Week 2, we saw stat lines such as the Atlanta Falcons tight end room seeing four targets, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver […]

Bengals La'el Collins Misses Practice Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals offensive tackle La'el Collins (back) was absent from practice on Wednesday. The 29-year-old experienced back issues during the offseason, so he may have aggravated the injury during their game against the Cowboys on Sunday. The Bengals added the seventh-year veteran as part of a series of moves to bolster their O-line, which was […]

Chargers Corey Linsley Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers center Corey Linsley (knee) missed practice on Wednesday. The veteran reportedly suffered the injury during their Week 2 loss to the Chiefs. The 31-year-old has been their starting center since they acquired him last offseason. He played in 16 games last season and both games this year, grading as the 11th-best center […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 24

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in […]

Davis Mills Good To Go For Sunday

Houston Texans quarterback Davis Mills (thumb) popped up on the injury report following their Week 2 loss to the Broncos. The 23-year-old practiced in full on Wednesday, indicating he will be active for their matchup against the Bears on Sunday.
