Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Russell Gage (back) has been downgraded to questionable for the Week 5 game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.

Brian Robinson Will Play Against Titans

The Washington Commanders are activating rookie running back Brian Robinson (knee) from the Non-Football Injury list on Saturday, and he will make his NFL debut in Week 5 against the Tennessee Titans, according to sources.

Should I Start Kenny Pickett In Week 5? Fantasy Football Outlook

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett will make his first career start on Sunday on the road against the Buffalo Bills. The first-round rookie didn’t play in the first three games after the Steelers named Mitchell Trubisky the starting quarterback. However, head coach Mike Tomlin made a change last week against the New York Jets. After […]

Jakobi Meyers Expected To Play In Week 5

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (knee) is expected to play in Week 5 against the Detroit Lions, according to a league source. Meyers has missed the last two games with a knee injury, but he's expected to return on Sunday despite being listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report. The 25-year-old was […]

Malik Beasley Still Banged Up

Utah Jazz guard Malik Beasley (ankle) remained sidelined during Friday's practice. He hasn't been able to suit up for practice since injuring his ankle during Tuesday's preseason game. Luckily, the Jazz don't play again until Tuesday, so Beasley has some time to rest and recover. His name has been a hot topic to be traded, […]

Cameron Johnson To Be Re-Evaluated

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (thumb) is going to be shut down for at least one week. He injured his shooting thumb during their second preseason game, which forced him out of the game after only four minutes. The team will re-evaluate Johnson after he rests for a week. Once he's healthy, Johnson is going […]

David Peralta Starting On Bench In Game 2

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder David Peralta will remain on the bench for Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Triston McKenzie. Peralta has been on the bench for the first two games of the Wild-Card Series against the Guardians against right-handed pitchers, and it could be […]

Kevin Huerter Could Be Starting Shooting Guard

Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter was traded during the offseason, which might actually help his fantasy value. In Atlanta, Huerter was roughly a top-200 fantasy player when he was actually healthy. Now, he has a chance to do better in a possible starting role with the Kings. Head coach Mike Brown mentioned that he's leaning […]

Ryan Helsley Going For MRI Exam

St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley (finger) went to get an MRI exam on the jammed middle finger of his pitching hand after he left his appearance in the Game 1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in the National League Wild-Card Series on Friday. Manager Oliver Marmol said Helsley reported a lack of feeling in […]

Jalen Suggs Is Without A Timetable

Orlando Magic guard Jalen Suggs (knee) suffered a significant injury during Friday's preseason matchup. The team is calling it left knee capsule sprain and bone bruise. They haven't given a timetable on Suggs, but he's expected to miss some time. The Magic are already without Markelle Fultz (toe), which is obviously frustrating. Cole Anthony will […]

George Springer, Santiago Espinal In Game 2 Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer (wrist) and infielder Santiago Espinal (oblique) are both in the starting lineup for Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against Seattle Mariners left-hander Robbie Ray. Springer is in center field and hitting leadoff, while Espinal is manning the keystone and batting ninth. Springer was hit […]

Gabe Davis Looks To Bounce Back

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabe Davis (ankle) is looking to get back on track after a disappointing performance last week. The 23-year-old finished with one reception for 13 yards in the win over the Baltimore Ravens. Honestly, Davis hasn't really made much of an impact since Week 1. Luckily for him, Davis gets a struggling […]

Kevin Gausman Starting Game 2 Of Wild-Card Series

Toronto Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman (finger) has been tabbed to start Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against the Seattle Mariners as the team looks to avoid elimination, according to manager John Schneider. Gausman departed his final start of the regular season early due to a cut on his right […]

Stefon Diggs Is A Locked-In WR1

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was held somewhat in check last week versus the Baltimore Ravens. The 28-year-old finished with four receptions for 64 yards, which is solid, but not what fantasy managers expect from Diggs. Although, he should go back to his normal 100-plus yard performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 5. […]

Chris Taylor To Take Live At-Bats Sunday, Monday

Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) has responded well to a cortisone injection that he received this week and will take live at-bats on Sunday and Monday, according to skipper Dave Roberts. If he's able to come out of those sessions healthy, he'll likely be included on the roster for the National League Division […]

Jean Segura Drives In Two In Friday's Victory

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura took part in the 6-3 comeback win during Game 1 against the St. Louis Cardinals, driving in two runs in the ninth inning. He ended up 1-for-4 with a run scored in the first playoff game of his 11-year career. Segura's season was interrupted by a finger injury, but […]

James Cook Is Too Risky To Start

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has made some nice plays early in the season. In Week 2, Cook rushed for 53 yards on 11 attempts, but he's done very little outside of that. Last week, Cook finished with a nothing in the Week 4 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He was targeted once, but […]

X-Rays Negative On George Springer's Wrist

X-rays came back negative on Toronto Blue Jays outfielder George Springer's wrist after he was hit by a pitch in the Game 1 loss to the Seattle Mariners in the American League Wild-Card Series on Friday, according to manager John Schneider. Springer was hit by the pitch in the eighth inning and managed to finish […]

Zack Moss Is Avoidable For Week 5

Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss has seen a limited workload through the first four games of the regular season. In fact, Moss has rushed only 15 times for 84 yards and has been held without a score up to this point. He's averaging 5.3 yards per carry, but the volume isn't there for him. […]

Jacob deGrom To Start Game 2 Against Padres

New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom will officially get the start in Game 2 of the National League Wild-Card Series against the San Diego Padres on Saturday as the Mets look to avoid an early exit in this year's postseason. The Mets were hoping to save their ace for the National League Division Series against […]

Max Scherzer Torched For Seven Runs Friday

New York Mets starting pitcher Max Scherzer was not his typical self in Friday's Game 1 against the San Diego Padres. He allowed four home runs and seven runs altogether in just 4 2/3 innings while striking out four and walking none. The deficit was too much for the Mets to come back from, and […]

Devin Singletary A Possible RB2 Versus Steelers

Buffalo Bills running back Devin Singletary has surprisingly been quite involved in this offense early in the season. He has finished with at least 90 total yards in back-to-back contests. Now he heads into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 5. A defense that has allowed 111.2 rushing yards to opposing backs, […]

Isaac Paredes In Game 2 Lineup For Rays

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes is getting the start at second base and is hitting sixth in the batting order in Game 2 of the American League Wild-Card Series on Saturday against the Cleveland Guardians and right-hander Triston McKenzie as the Rays look to avoid elimination in the series. Paredes hit only .205 in […]

Josh Allen Remains A Strong QB1

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has continued to be one of the best QBs in the league through the first four games. He has at least 297 passing yards in his of the first four weeks of the season. Allen has also thrown 10 touchdowns in this pass-heavy Bills offense. They should continue to attack […]

Shane Bieber Dominates Rays In Friday's Wild-Card Win

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Shane Bieber was nearly flawless in Game 1 of the Wild-Card round on Friday against the Tampa Bay Rays, throwing 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball. He struck out eight, walked one and allowed just three hits to earn the victory. Although Bieber's 25.0% strikeout rate was his lowest mark since […]

Jose Ramirez Hits Game-Winning Home Run Friday

Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez was the only source of offense for his club in Game 1 of the Wild-Card round on Friday, going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run. That was all they needed, though, as they defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1. The switch-hitter was undoubtedly one of the best fantasy players […]

Alek Manoah Gives Up Four Runs To Mariners

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah's Friday playoff debut started poorly when he allowed three runs in the first inning against the Seattle Mariners. He was able to settle in afterwards but still took the loss, allowing four runs in 5.2 innings while striking out four and walking one during the 4-1 contest. Manoah […]
