Jonathan Taylor, Nyheim Hines Out For Week 6

Indianapolis Colts running backs Jonathan Taylor (ankle) and Nyheim Hines (concussion) have both been downgraded to out for Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. It was looking like Taylor would return after missing last Thursday's win over the Denver Broncos after putting in two limited practices on Thursday and Friday, but the Colts will take […]

Dolphins Have Confidence In Skylar Thompson

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Skylar Thompson is making his first career start in Week 6 against the Minnesota Vikings, and the Dolphins have plenty of confidence in him. Head coach Mike McDaniel said the team would rather go with the QB that has practiced and prepared all week. Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) has already been ruled […]

Jordan Poole Finalizing Extension With Warriors

Golden State Warriors guard Jordan Poole is finalizing a four-year extension with the organization. The 23-year-old has a formal agreement on an extension worth $140 million over the next four seasons. Poole was a key part of the Warriors roster during their title run last season. This core isn't getting any younger, so locking up […]

Ben Simmons Fouls Out On Friday Night

Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons fouled out during Friday's preseason finale versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. Overall, he played 13 minutes on the night and finished with two points while adding six rebounds and two boards.

Kodai Senga To Become A Free Agent

SoftBank Hawks ace Kodai Senga said on Saturday that he will exercise his rights to file for free agency in order to play in the MLB next season.

Shintaro Fujinami To Be Posted This Offseason

The Hanshin Tigers have decided to make right-hander Shintaro Fujinami available to MLB teams through the posting system this offseason, according to a source.

Alec Bohm Goes Hitless Friday

Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm didn't play a part in Friday's Game 3 9-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves, going 0-for-4 while failing to reach base. The 26-year-old hasn't done much over the three games of the Division Series, batting .188, but he does have a pair of doubles and three RBI. Over 152 […]

Chiefs Defense Should Be Off Fantasy Radar Against Bills

The Kansas City Chiefs defense has very little fantasy upside heading into Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. While KC has been good against the run, they've allowed 255 passing yards per game, which ranks 24th in the NFL. With the Bills leading the NFL in passing yards per game, it's really tough to justify […]

David Robertson Continues To Throw

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher David Robertson (calf) continues to throw and believes he is close to pitching again. Robertson would be a nice boost to the team's bullpen if they advance past the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series to play in the NL Championship Series next week. The 37-year-old veteran reliever strained […]

Mecole Hardman Has Deep-League Appeal In Week 6

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman set season highs in receptions and receiving yards last week against the Raiders. His role on this team is still too tentative to play him in most formats, but in a 14-team league or deeper, there's some upside appeal for Hardman in a game against the Bills this […]

Braves Leaning Towards Max Fried For Game 5

Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said that the team would probably lean towards starting left-hander Max Fried in a potential Game 5 of the National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Snitker said the trainers told him that Fried has turned the corner physically since his last start in the Game 1 loss, in […]

Fantasy Basketball - Preseason Risers and Fallers

Last night wrapped up the final preseason games across the association and now teams have three more days to finish out their training camps and prepare for their first regular-season games. You may have already drafted for your fantasy basketball leagues, and if that's the case then you won't be able to draft or avoid […]

X-Rays Negative On Trea Turner's Finger

X-rays came back negative on Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner's finger on Friday night, and he said he just jammed his finger while diving back into first base on a pickoff attempt late in the Game 3 loss to the San Diego Padres in the National League Division Series. In the first three games […]

Travis d'Arnaud Batting .417 Across Three Playoff Games

Atlanta Braves catcher Travis d'Arnaud had two hits over four at-bats during Friday's Game 3 9-1 loss against Philadelphia Phillies. He doubled twice and now has three doubles already in the postseason. d'Arnaud is having a stellar Division Series so far, slashing .417/.417/.917 with one homer, four RBI and one run. The backstop was one […]

Zack Wheeler Available To Pitch In Relief In Game 4

Philadelphia Phillies skipper Rob Thomson said that right-hander Zack Wheeler is available to pitch for an inning in relief in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the Atlanta Braves, if needed. Wheeler could also start a potential Game 5 on short rest if he isn't used on Saturday. The 32-year-old […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Has Upside Against Bills

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling hasn't found the end zone yet this season, but Sunday's game against the Bills will offer the best chance yet for MVS to get his first touchdown. After some curious usage over the first three games, Valdes-Scantling has started to see his usage look more like it was […]

Austin Riley Bumped Down To Fifth Spot In Lineup

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley has been moved from cleanup to the fifth spot in the batting order for Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Saturday against the Philadelphia Phillies and right-hander Noah Syndergaard. Riley hit third in Game 1 before hitting cleanup the last two games, but he'll be moved […]

Skylar Thompson Will Start In Week 6

Miami Dolphins quarterback Skylar Thompson will make his first career start on Sunday versus the Minnesota Vikings, with Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) to serve as his backup. The 2022 seventh-round pick was thrust into action during the Week 5 meeting with the Jets after Bridgewater was ruled out. He had a rough showing in that one, […]

Rhys Hoskins Makes His Mark In Friday's Blowout

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins was a big help in the 9-1 National League Division Series Game 3 victory against the Atlanta Braves, homering with two on in the third inning off of starter Spencer Strider. He ended up 1-for-3 with three RBI and a walk. It was his first homer of the playoffs […]

Carson Wentz Diagnosed With A Fractured Finger

Washington Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz (finger) suffered a fractured finger on this throwing hand during Thursday's win over the Chicago Bears. As a result, he will travel to Los Angeles to visit a specialist to determine the next course of action. The 29-year-old has passed for 1,489 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. However, he […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Risky Week 6 Fantasy Option

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has been targeted exactly eight times in four of his team's five games this season, but he's yet to find the end zone this season. His lack of red zone usage makes him a risky play heading into Sunday's game against the Bills. While the Chiefs offense shouldn't […]

Aaron Nola Earns Second Playoff Win Friday

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola won his second game in two playoff starts when his club beat the Atlanta Braves 9-1 on Friday to take a 2-1 Division Series lead. The 27-year-old completed six innings, allowing one unearned run on five hits and two walks while striking out six. Nola's been dominant thus far […]

Tua Tagovailoa Clears Concussion Protocol

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) cleared protocol on Saturday morning and is expected to return in Week 7 against the Steelers. In the meantime, rookie Skylar Thompson will be under center versus the Minnesota Vikings, with Teddy Bridgewater to serve as his backup. The 2022 seventh-round pick finished with 166 yards and an interception […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Has Tough Week 6 Matchup

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire is a risky fantasy play on Sunday against the Bills in a game that should favor the passing offenses. After seeing 19 carries in Week 4, CEH dropped down to just nine carries last week, making the fourth time in five games that he had single-digit carries. With […]

Mike Boone Practices Fully On Friday

Denver Broncos running back Mike Boone (foot) practiced fully on Friday. He logged a limited session on Thursday, so he's seemingly trending in the right direction ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 27-year-old was expected to see an uptick in snaps behind Melvin Gordon III (neck) after Javonte Williams (knee) […]

Travis Kelce Remains Top Fantasy Tight End Play Against Bills

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce is facing a tougher matchup than usual against the Bills on Sunday, as the team has allowed the fourth-fewest passing yards per game in the NFL. Despite that, fantasy managers should continue to trust Kelce as the No. 1 overall play at the tight end position, especially after […]

Samaje Perine Logs A Full Practice On Friday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine (abdomen) practiced in full on Friday and was removed from the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in New Orleans. The 27-year-old has only logged 15 carries for 70 yards this season. However, he's been getting some work as a pass-catcher, recently catching all four of his targets for […]
