Seahawks To Open Up Offense For Geno Smith?

The Seattle Seahawks offense is among the league's bottom-five teams in points per game, points per drive and EPA per play through the first two weeks, according to TruMedia. They are averaging 5.3 air yards per attempt as well, one of the worst marks in the NFL. Seattle is also averaging a league-low 56 rushing […]

Giants Sign Jaylon Smith To Practice Squad

The New York Giants officially signed veteran free-agent linebacker Jaylon Smith to their practice squad on Tuesday. Smith will return to the Giants after playing in four games (two starts) for them last season. He also saw time with the Dallas Cowboys (four games) and Green Bay Packers (two games) in 2021. The 27-year-old former […]

Dane Jackson Released From Hospital

Buffalo Bills cornerback Dane Jackson (neck), who was involved in a scary collision with his own teammate on Monday night against the Tennessee Titans, was released from the hospital (he walked out) and had full movement in his extremities. Jackson had to be taken off the field in an ambulance in the Week 2 blowout […]

Kenny Golladay Plays Just Two Snaps In Week 2

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay played just two snaps in the Week 2 win over the Carolina Panthers after playing 77 percent of the snaps in the Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans while catching two passes for 22 yards. Golladay, who signed a massive contract just a year ago, was replaced […]

Dalton Schultz Dealing With PCL Issue

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz (knee) is dealing with a PCL issue in his right knee after he was injured late in the Week 2 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. It's unclear if Schultz will miss any games. "The issue is whether he goes this week or not," owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 […]

Joe Barlow Has Positive Rehab Outing

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) struck out the first two batters he faced and retired the side in order on 14 pitches in one inning in a minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Round Rock on Sept. 17. Barlow is expected to make another rehab appearance for Round Rock on Tuesday or Wednesday […]

Nick Solak Shut Down For The Year

Texas Rangers outfielder Nick Solak (foot) will be shut down for the rest of the season with what's being called a "small" fracture in his right foot. Solak was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock when rosters expanded on Sept. 1, but he was hit by a pitch last Wednesday against the Oakland Athletics. He was […]

Matt Olson Doubles During Two-Hit Day

Atlanta Braves first baseman Matt Olson broke out of a slump in the 5-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Monday by going 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored. Olson entered Monday's game hitting just .074 (4-for-54) with a home run, four RBI, six runs scored and 20 strikeouts in 15 games in […]

Graham Ashcraft Lit Up In Rehab Start

Cincinnati Reds rookie right-hander Graham Ashcraft (biceps) had a minor league rehab start to forget with Triple-A Louisville on Monday night. He allowed eight runs (six earned) on 11 hits while walking none and striking out five in 2 2/3 innings of work. The good news is he didn't allow a home run and struck […]

David Bednar Throws A Scoreless Rehab Inning

Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher David Bednar (back) tossed another scoreless inning in a minor league rehab outing with Triple-A Indianapolis on Monday, giving up one hit while walking none and striking out two. Barring any setbacks, he should be able to come off the injured list to rejoin the Pirates bullpen at some point this […]

Nelson Cruz Day-To-Day With Eye Inflammation

Washington Nationals designated hitter Nelson Cruz (eye) was diagnosed with left eye inflammation by an eye specialist after he experienced blurry vision during the Sept. 13 game against the Baltimore Orioles. He was given eye drops. "He's better," manager Dave Martinez said about Cruz. "The drops are working. It's very slow, but he said he […]

MacKenzie Gore To Throw Bullpen Tuesday

Washington Nationals rookie left-hander MacKenzie Gore (elbow) is scheduled to throw a bullpen session ahead of Tuesday's game against the Atlanta Braves before heading back to Triple-A Rochester for another minor league rehab start. "He's scheduled to go back and have another rehab start. So, we're going to try to push him for maybe 60-65 […]

Ryne Nelson On Track For Next Start

Arizona Diamondbacks rookie right-hander Ryne Nelson (forearm) took a comebacker off his right forearm in the sixth inning of his latest start on Sunday against the San Diego Padres, but precautionary X-rays came back negative, and manager Torey Lovullo said on Monday that Nelson was feeling better and will stay in line to make his […]

Frankie Montas' MRI Exam Brings Good News

New York Yankees starting pitcher Frankie Montas (shoulder) received some positive news from his MRI results after it didn't show anything significant, according to sources. Montas could still get some extra rest due to the right shoulder soreness that caused him to get the MRI exam on Sunday following his latest poor outing against the […]

Titans Defense Destroyed In Loss

The Tennessee Titans defense allowed 41 points in the loss to the Buffalo Bills and failed to create a turnover. Needless to say, it was a disastrous performance for the fantasy D/ST, as expected. Tennessee is thin at corner and edge rusher, so even in favorable matchups, its season-long outlook isn't bright. A matchup with […]

Randy Bullock Scores One Point In Loss

Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock fell victim to his team's putrid offensive performance, scoring just one point on his lone extra-point attempt in the Monday night blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. With Tennessee's offense looking like one of the worst units in the league, Bullock is far outside the fantasy radar and shouldn't be […]

Kyle Philips Struggles In Week 2

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kyle Philips caught just one pass for five yards in the lopsided loss to the Buffalo Bills. After a strong NFL debut with six catches on nine targets, Philips wasn't featured in the passing game and muffed a costly punt on Monday night. He looked like he could be a high-floor, […]

Austin Hooper Posts A Dud In Week 2

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper caught just one-of-four targets in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills, meaning he remains far outside of fantasy relevance. Hooper might have some value down the line as a touchdown-or-bust tight end, but until the Titans' offense improves, the pass-catchers are unreliable. There are plenty of better options […]

Robert Woods Totals 39 Yards In Loss

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods caught four-of-five targets for 39 yards in the 41-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. He was taken out of the game along with Ryan Tannehill and Derrick Henry, so it's tough to know what he would've produced over a full game. Regardless, this Titans offense is poor, and Woods […]

Treylon Burks Leads Titans In Targets

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks led the Titans with six targets in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Despite playing fewer snaps than Robert Woods and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in back-to-back weeks, he's drawn more targets. Ryan Tannehill clearly trusts him and prefers him as his "go-to" wide receiver. Burks caught four of the […]

Hassan Haskins Totals 10 Touches In Blowout

Tennessee Titans rookie running back Hassan Haskins produced 37 yards on 10 total touches in the 41-7 loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, the usage was likely fluky, as most of it came in garbage time. Tennessee pulled many of its starters when the game got out of hand late in the third quarter. Haskins […]

Derrick Henry Gets Shut Down In Loss

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry rushed 13 times for just 25 yards but did score the Titans' only touchdown in the 41-7 blowout loss. Still, he was a glaring bust in fantasy. Through two weeks, he's the most significant bust based on draft capital. However, it's nearly impossible to bench him moving forward, and […]

Malik Willis A Non-Factor In Loss

Tennessee Titans quarterback Malik Willis came in for Ryan Tannehill in the third quarter of the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills. Tannehill had just thrown a pick-six, and the score got out of hand at 41-7. Willis completed just one-of-four passing attempts for six yards and rushed for 16 yards on four attempts. He […]

Jamison Crowder Barely Seen On Monday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Jamison Crowder was an afterthought during Monday's game against the Tennessee Titans. The veteran wideout hauled in one of his two targets for 16 yards in the win. It was a wasted opportunity with fellow wideout Gabe Davis (ankle) on the sideline. Clearly, the Bills have no plans of getting Crowder […]

Tyler Bass Makes Five Extra Points

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass continues to be busy with how well this offense is doing right now. On Monday, Bass connected on both of his field goal attempts and made five extra point attempts in the win over the Tennessee Titans. He remains one of the most reliable kickers in the league right now. […]

Dawson Knox Collects Four Receptions In Win

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox was expected to have a bigger role than normal on Monday with wide receiver Gabe Davis (ankle) sidelined. However, Knox wasn't able to do much with his opportunities. The 25-year-old finished with four receptions for 41 yards in the win over the Tennessee Titans. None of the Bills receivers […]

Isaiah McKenzie Does Little With Gabe Davis Out

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie didn't make much noise during the season opener, but had a chance to really make himself known on Monday. Fellow wideout Gabe Davis (ankle) was inactive, which should've meant a big game for McKenzie. However, the slot receiver finished with two receptions on three targets and 37 receiving yards […]

James Cook Gets Involved On Monday

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook was able to actually see a decent amount of snaps during Monday's contest against the Tennessee Titans. The rookie back rushed for 53 yards on 11 attempts in what ended up being a blowout victory. The Bills ran away with this game in the third quarter, so there was […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 3 Lightning Round

As a reminder, this column is a quick reaction to get key names on your radar. We're out here sculpting winning rosters out of the early-season marble with the waiver wire lightning round heading […]

Running Back Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 3: Top Free Agent Adds Include Jordan Mason, Mark Ingram, Raheem Mostert

As you now read this week’s recommendations from the waiver wire, we have progressed into planning roster construction for Week 3. The matchups of Week 2 delivered a collection of impressive performances, including three backs who eclipsed 100 rushing yards. Unfortunately, the numbers that were delivered by other runners only led to frustration. Many of […]
