Jarvis Landry Back At Practice Thursday For Saints

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Jarvis Landry (ankle) was seen taking part in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday after he didn't practice on Wednesday. It's good news for the Saints offense with Michael Thomas' (toe) status in doubt for Week 4 against the Minnesota Vikings in London. Landry isn't a […]

Jameis Winston, Michael Thomas Not Practicing

New Orleans Saints quarterback Jameis Winston (ankle, back, hip) and wide receiver Michael Thomas (toe) were not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. The expectation was that Winston would return to practice after being a DNP on Wednesday, so his and Thomas' availability for the Week 4 game in […]

Yoan Moncada Still Out Thursday

Chicago White Sox third baseman Yoan Moncada (foot) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Twins. Moncada fouled a ball off the top of his foot on Tuesday and will miss his second straight game, but he's considered day-to-day right now. It's been a tough year for the 27-year-old Cuban, as […]

Trevor Story Not Expected To Return This Year

Boston Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story (heel, illness) is now sick and is very unlikely to return again this season. Time is running out for Story to return to the Red Sox's lineup, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to contribute within the next week. If it's indeed the case, the 29-year-old slugger will […]

Chas McCormick Goes Deep Against D-Backs

Houston Astros outfielder Chas McCormick drove in the team's only two runs on Wednesday in a 5-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks, going 3-for-3 with a home run, two RBI, a run scored and a walk. McCormick is in the midst of a six-game hitting streak right now, going 9-for-23 with a homer, two RBI, […]

Mark Melancon Picks Up 18th Save Wednesday

Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Mark Melancon picked up his 18th save of the season on Wednesday in the 5-2 win over the Houston Astros. In his inning of work, Melancon didn't allow a hit or a run while walking none and striking out none. Melancon has a 4.67 ERA (4.04 FIP) and a 1.54 WHIP […]

Nick Castellanos Not Starting Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos is not in the starting lineup on Thursday against the Chicago Cubs as the Phillies look to snap their four-game losing skid. Castellanos just returned from the injured list on Tuesday from an oblique injury, and he's gone 4-for-7 with four singles since his return, but the team will give […]

Jacob deGrom Moved Up To Friday Against Braves

The New York Mets will move right-hander Jacob deGrom's next start up to Friday for the series opener against the division-rival Atlanta Braves, according to skipper Buck Showalter. The Mets will roll with deGrom in a huge series. Entering play on Thursday, the Mets sit just one game ahead of Atlanta for the division lead […]

Eloy Jimenez Sitting Against Orioles

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez is not in Thursday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles. It appears to just be a regular day of rest for Jimenez with the White Sox recently being eliminated from postseason contention. He's hit well in the final month of the regular season, going 25-for-87 (.287) with seven home […]

Tyler Glasnow Has Successful Season Debut

Tampa Bay Rays right-hander Tyler Glasnow made his first start in 2022 since returning from Tommy John surgery on Wednesday against the Cleveland Guardians, and he looked good, allowing an earned run on two hits (one homer) while walking one and striking out three in three innings of work in the 2-1 loss. Glasnow tossed […]

Matt Manning, Kerry Carpenter Put On Injured List

The Detroit Tigers placed right-handers Matt Manning (forearm) and Kerry Carpenter (back) on the injured list on Thursday and selected the contract of right-hander Miguel Diaz from Triple-A Toledo and recalled utility man Kody Clemens from Toledo in corresponding moves. Manning was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right forearm strain, while Carpenter […]

Akil Baddoo Hitting Leadoff Thursday

Detroit Tigers outfielder Akil Baddoo is starting in left field and batting leadoff on Thursday against the Kansas City Royals and right-hander Jonathan Heasley. Baddoo was out of the lineup against a left-handed pitcher on Wednesday, but he's back in there on Thursday and is hitting in the top spot in the order for the […]

Mecole Hardman Misses Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman (heel) did not practice Wednesday. He dealt with a heel issue in the Week 3 loss to the Indianapolis Colts but was removed from the injury report before last Sunday's game. The 24-year-old logged 43 snaps but saw his usage drop considerably. He caught two passes for two […]

Austin Hooper Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper (neck) didn't practice Wednesday. He was spotted running on a side field during Wednesday's session. The 27-year-old has been a non-factor this season, catching four passes for 44 yards over three games. He is averaging 3.0 YAC and owns only 10% of the team's target share. Teammate Geoff Swaim […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Limited At Wednesday's Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (abdomen) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. He is dealing with an abdominal injury and could be limited in practice this week. The 27-year-old hauled in 10 catches for 105 yards over three games in 2022. He will have two more chances to log a full practice […]

Breshad Perriman Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee, hamstring) was a non-participant at practice Wednesday.

Jaylen Waddle Good To Go For Thursday Night Football

He has hauled in 15 receptions on 25 targets for 273 yards and three touchdowns over three […]

Fantasy Baseball Trade Targets - Buy/Sell For Week 25

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 […]

Tua Tagovailoa Expected To Play Thursday Night Against Bengals

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ankle, back) is expected to play in Thursday night's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was a limited participant in practice the last two days and will suit up for Thursday Night Football. Tagovailoa should have all his weapons available on Thursday, as star wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (groin) is […]

Is Amon-Ra St. Brown Hurt or Healthy? Is Amon-Ra St. Brown Playing in Week 4 for Fantasy Football?

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown came into this season with significant momentum. Over the last six weeks of 2021, St. Brown averaged 25.2 PPR points per game and was the WR2 behind Cooper Kupp. There was widespread skepticism that the former USC Trojan would be able to replicate that success in 2022, though. […]

Is Romeo Doubs A Good Fantasy Football Pickup For Week 4? Waiver Wire Outlook

All offseason, the fantasy football community examined who would replace Davante Adams as the Packers' No. 1 WR. Would Allen Lazard, the guy with the most chemistry with Aaron Rodgers step up?

Week 4 IDP Start Em, Sit Em - Streamers and Fades for Fantasy Football Defensive Players

So far this season has been loaded with disappointments in the fantasy football realm. Kadarius Toney isn't playing, everyone on the Panthers has forgotten D.J. Moore and Christian McCaffrey can catch, and the NFL has unanimously decided this is the year we bury the running back position in a grave so deep you could safely […]
