Trevor Story Activated From The Injured List

Sam Darnold Expected To Be Out 4-6 Weeks

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle) is expected to be out four to six weeks after suffering a high-ankle sprain to his left ankle in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Buffalo Bills, according to sources.

Jonnu Smith Catches One Pass Against Raiders

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith was quiet in the team's preseason finale on Friday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. Smith caught his only target for a five-yard gain. The 27-year-old and Hunter Henry played 16 offensive snaps each in the 23-6 loss. He was a big disappointment in his first year in […]

Jarren Duran Optioned To Triple-A Worcester

Boston Red Sox outfielder Jarren Duran has been optioned to Triple-A Worcester on Saturday. The 25-year-old center fielder has struggled mightily this season, putting up a lackluster .220/.283/.365 triple-slash line to go along with three home runs, 17 RBI, and seven stolen bases over 200 at-bats. He'll try and rebuild his confidence in Triple-A as […]

Jaylen Warren Still Competing For Roster Spot

Pittsburgh Steelers undrafted rookie running back Jaylen Warren has been the team's most productive running back, both in open training camp practices and in preseason games, but he's still fighting for a spot on the 53-man roster heading into Sunday's preseason finale against the Detroit Lions. Najee Harris is the unquestioned starter, while Benny Snell […]

Dustin Hopkins Goes 1-For-2 On Field-Goal Attempts

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Dustin Hopkins made one of his two field goal attempts in Friday's preseason loss to the New Orleans Saints. He also converted on his lone extra point attempt.

Duke Johnson Sees Seven Touches In Preseason Finale

Buffalo Bills running back Duke Johnson carried the ball six times for 20 yards and caught one of his two targets for a two-yard gain in the 21-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Friday's preseason finale.

Is Nico Collins the Texans WR2? Where Should I Draft Collins for 2022 Fantasy Football

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is a potential sleeper this year. He averaged six PPR fantasy points per game last season. While he ended the season as the WR86, Collins had some promising moments as a rookie. He played only 61.9% of the snaps and had a route participation rate of 73.1% last season. […]

Jay Jackson Recalled From Triple-A

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Jay Jackson has been recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday. The 34-year-old right-hander is replacing Jackson Stephens (concussion) who took a comebacker off his head in Friday's game vs. the Cardinals.

New Orleans Saints first-round rookie offensive tackle Trevor Penning (toe) suffered what is believed to be a bad case of turf toe in the preseason finale on Friday against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to sources.

Orlando Arcia Starting Rehab Assignment

Atlanta Braves infielder Orlando Arcia (hamstring) will begin a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Gwinnett on Saturday.

Arcia was slashing .243/.321/.405 with seven home runs and […]

Derrick Brown's Injury Not Serious

Carolina Panthers defensive tackle Derrick Brown (oblique) suffered an oblique injury in the team's preseason finale on Friday against the Buffalo Bills and did not return.

Rachaad White (RB, TB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~115 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~128 ANALYSIS: No Gronk, gimpy Godwin, dusty Julio, and three banged-up offensive linemen. That's the state of the Bucs' offense heading into 2022. Leonard Fournette seems to have gotten himself into shape, at least some sort of shape, but he won't take 100% of the team's touches. […]

Joey Wendle Drives In Three In Extra-Inning Loss

Miami Marlins infielder Joey Wendle went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Friday's 10-6 extra-inning loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was Wendle's first run batted in in 10 games, so it was nice to see him get back on the RBI board. In 260 at-bats in his first […]

AJ Dillon (RB, GB) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~45 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~53 ANALYSIS: Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon entered last season as a high-end backup with upside but proved he's even more valuable than that. He finished as the RB21, rushing 187 times for 803 yards and five touchdowns, adding 34 receptions for 313 yards and two touchdowns […]

Brandon Lowe Sitting Against Red Sox

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe (elbow) is not in the starting lineup against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday. Lowe was forced to leave Friday's game early with a right elbow contusion, and he'll miss at least Saturday's contest. Consider him day-to-day for now, and he might even be available off the bench. […]

Larry Rountree III Scores In Preseason Loss

Los Angeles Chargers running back Larry Rountree III scored a touchdown on six rushing attempts for 12 yards in Los Angeles' 27-10 preseason loss to the New Orleans Saints on Friday.

Mike Moustakas Goes Back On Injured List

The Cincinnati Reds placed third baseman Mike Moustakas (calf) on the 10-day injured list with a left calf strain on Saturday and selected infielder Colin Moran's contract from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Moustakas' injured list stint is retroactive to Wednesday. The 33-year-old missed the last three games with his injury and will go […]

Joshua Kelley Efficient On Seven Touches

Chargers third-year running back Joshua Kelley stood out in Friday night's preseason loss to the Saints, turning six carries into 40 yards and adding a one-yard reception. Although it was Larry Rountree III that found the end zone, Kelley was far more effective on the ground. With rookie Isaiah Spiller (ankle) dealing with an injury, […]
