Luis Robert Away From The Team

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) has left the team for the birth of his first child, according to interim manager Miguel Cairo. Robert missed his fifth straight game on Thursday and has been sidelined with a sore left wrist, but now he could be away from the team for another couple days while […]

Tony Gonsolin Going For MRI Exam Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin's forearm soreness has not responded as well as the team had hoped, and he's still shut down from throwing. Gonsolin will undergo an MRI exam on Friday, according to skipper Dave Roberts. The 28-year-old right-hander was put on the injured list on Monday, but the team isn't considering […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Joins Team At Practice Thursday

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) practiced with the team on Thursday for the first time all summer. The Niners kept Garoppolo away from the team all summer because they were prepared to trade him all along and didn't want to create any distractions at training camp. Garoppolo was also rehabbing on his own […]

Equanimeous St. Brown Set To Open Season As No. 2 Receiver

Chicago Bears wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown is in line to serve as the No. 2 pass-catcher behind Darnell Mooney to open the 2022 regular season. However, that could change once Byron Pringle (quadriceps) returns from his injury. St. Brown caught just one pass in preseason action, but he's been given positive reports during training […]

Bounce-Back Season May Be Tough For Robbie Anderson

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robbie Anderson had a precipitous drop in production last year after signing a two-year, $29.5 million extension. Head coach Matt Rhule said that when Anderson was effective in 2020, he was stretching the field horizontally and vertically with his top-end speed. The Panthers want to get back to that under new […]

Marcus Maye Arrested Thursday

New Orleans Saints safety Marcus Maye was arrested Thursday morning for aggravated assault with a firearm, according to a source. His attorney said in a statement that Maye "vehemently denies the allegation." It's a big deal after the Saints signed him to a three-year, $28.5 million deal in free agency in order to be the […]

Michael Gallup "Looks Excellent"

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) has been working with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown, and head coach Mike McCarthy said on Wednesday that Gallup "looks excellent." "He's getting close. He's hit every target. His rehab is going very smooth. Just staying on the plan," McCarthy said. Gallup said himself he won't be ready […]

Miles Sanders Returns To Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday for the first time in two-plus weeks. It's good news, but there's still no recovery timetable for the 25-year-old. It's concerning with the start of the regular season just over a week away. We'll have a better idea of his status entering Week […]

Titans Rework Derrick Henry's Contract

The Tennessee Titans reworked All-Pro running back Derrick Henry's contract on Thursday to give him a $2 million raise this year, according to sources. Henry will now make $14 million in 2022, the most of any running back in the NFL. Next year will be the final year of his contract. The 28-year-old's fantasy stock […]

Salvador Perez Back In The Lineup Thursday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (back) is back behind the plate and is batting third on Thursday against the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Johnny Cueto. Perez was scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup with back tightness, but it obviously wasn't a serious concern. The 32-year-old veteran backstop needs to be returned to all fantasy […]

Drake London Will Be Team's Top Receiving Target

Atlanta Falcons rookie wide receiver Drake London isn't expected to put up the kind of numbers that Justin Jefferson did in his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings, but the first-rounder easily will be the top target at receiver for Atlanta in 2022. However, the Falcons still have tight end Kyle Pitts, who led the […]

Isaiah McKenzie In Danger Of Missing The Opener?

Buffalo Bills slot wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (undisclosed) suffered an injury in practice last Saturday and has not practiced since. General manager Brandon Beane said it would be hard to hold McKenzie out of the Week 1 game against the Los Angeles Rams next Thursday, but said "we'll see." It doesn't appear to be a […]

Lions Sign Aldrick Rosas To The Practice Squad

The Detroit Lions signed former New York Giants kicker Aldrick Rosas to their practice squad on Thursday. Rosas will return to Detroit after he was cut in May. He'll serve as insurance for starting kicker Austin Seibert heading into the 2022 regular season. In five games with the Lions and New Orleans Saints last year, […]

Bears Claim Trevon Wesco Off Waivers

The Chicago Bears claimed former New York Jets tight end Trevon Wesco off waivers on Wednesday. Wesco was the most popular player on waivers, as the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts, Cincinnati Bengals and Bears were all in on him. The Jets waived Wesco on roster cutdown day on Tuesday after he played in 12 games […]

N'Keal Harry Lands On Injured Reserve

The Chicago Bears placed wide receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Harry will miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season, but the ankle injury he suffered in early August was expected to keep him out for around eight weeks. Harry was a first-round bust in his three seasons […]

Patriots Sign Lynn Bowden Jr. To The Practice Squad

The New England Patriots signed former Las Vegas Raiders and Miami Dolphins wide receiver Lynn Bowden Jr. to their practice squad on Thursday, according to a source. Bowden was one of the most versatile players in the country during his time at Kentucky, and he was a third-round pick by the Raiders in 2020. Despite […]

Panthers Put Sam Darnold On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed quarterback Sam Darnold (ankle), who is out four to six weeks with a high-ankle sprain, on Injured Reserve on Thursday. It will give Darnold a chance to return this season. Darnold suffered the ankle sprain in the preseason finale, but at that point he had already lost the QB competition to […]

Titans Sign Josh Gordon To The Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans signed former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Josh Gordon to their practice squad on Thursday, according to his agent. Gordon was cut by the Chiefs on Tuesday but will quickly land on his feet in Tennessee. The 31-year-old led the NFL with 1,646 receiving yards in just his second NFL season in […]

Russell Gage, Giovani Bernard Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (leg) and running back Giovani Bernard (ankle) both took part in practice on Thursday. Gage missed the preseason finale in his last chance to get game repetitions with quarterback Tom Brady, and his fantasy stock has been falling ever since the team signed veteran Julio Jones. The 26-year-old […]

Kenny Golladay Looking Stiff

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay was the team's prized free-agent acquisition heading into last season, but he didn't catch a single touchdown pass in his first year with the team. ESPN New York's Jordan Raanan says Golladay has been running routes this summer with the stiffness of a mannequin and was curiously playing […]

James Kaprielian Loses Ninth Game

Oakland Athletics starting pitcher James Kaprielian was hit with his ninth loss of the season in Wednesday's 5-1 defeat at the hands of the Washington Nationals. Kaprielian allowed five runs (two earned) on seven hits while walking one and striking out three in 5 2/3 innings of work. It was the 28-year-old's fourth straight losing […]

Josh Hader Converts A Save Wednesday

San Diego Padres relief pitcher Josh Hader actually locked down a save on Wednesday in the 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants. Hader gave up one hit and struck out one batter in the scoreless inning of work to pick up save No. 30 on the season. The 28-year-old southpaw has been absolutely atrocious […]

Spencer Steer Headed To The Big Leagues

The Cincinnati Reds will recall shortstop prospect Spencer Steer when rosters expand on Thursday, according to sources. Steer was acquired from the Minnesota Twins in the deadline deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to the Twins last month. He has 27 hits (three homers and seven doubles) in 23 games since joining Triple-A Louisville. The […]

Eli Mitchell (RB, SF) - 2022 Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~40 Overall CURRENT ADP: ~47 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell had a stunningly productive season as a rookie in 2021. As a sixth-round draft choice, few expected Mitchell to become a fantasy starter, yet he finished as the RB23 in standard leagues despite playing just 11 games. This […]

Carlos Martinez Suspended 85 Games

Free-agent right-hander Carlos Martinez has been suspended for 85 games, retroactive to June 19, for violating the league's joint domestic-violence, sexual-assault and child-abuse policy. It's been a bad year for Martinez, as he was also handed an 80-game suspension on May 27 for performance-enhancing drugs. The 30-year-old Dominican is unlikely to pitch in the big […]

Luis Robert Remains Out Against Royals

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals. Fantasy managers are surely getting antsy now, as Robert hasn't played in a week due to a sore left wrist, although he's made two appearances off the bench. If he's unable to get back into […]

Tai Tuivasa Could Prove To Be A Tricky Opponent

Tai Tuivasa (15-3) is on a hot streak right now, riding a five-fight knockout victory streak into Saturday's main event against Ciryl Gane in Paris. Tuivasa will need to depend on his heavy hands and a big storm attack early on if he wants to finish Gane. Proven to be his regular game plan, 14 […]

Astros Not In On Michael Conforto

The Houston Astros are said to not be involved in talks to sign free-agent outfielder Michael Conforto. Reports surfaced from SI.com on Wednesday night that the Astros had made a multi-year offer to Conforto, but those reports turned out to be false. Conforto didn't end up signing with a team by the deadline on Wednesday […]
