Nathan Eovaldi Scratched, Josh Winckowski To Start

Boston Red Sox right-hander Nathan Eovaldi (neck, shoulder) has been scratched from his scheduled start on Thursday against the Pittsburgh Pirates due to soreness in his neck and shoulder. In his place, rookie right-hander Josh Winckowski will get the start. Eovaldi still thinks he can pitch, so the injury doesn't appear to be very serious, […]

Luis Robert Out Again Thursday

Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) remains out of the starting lineup on Thursday against the Houston Astros. Robert received a cortisone injection for his sprained left wrist on Wednesday, but the White Sox remain adamant that he won't need a trip to the injured list.

White Sox A Likely Landing Spot For Elvis Andrus

The Chicago White Sox are a likely landing spot for free-agent shortstop Elvis Andrus, who was released by the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday. The two sides are in talks, but nothing is official yet.

The Tampa Bay Rays are calling up right-hander Luis Patino from Triple-A Durham on Thursday in order to start against the Kansas City Royals.

Austin Hooper Busy On Wednesday

Tennessee Titans tight end Austin Hooper was busy in the team's joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Wednesday.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman's (groin) injury that he suffered in training camp practice on Wednesday isn't considered serious, according to a source.

Michael Pittman Jr. Looks Great In Joint Practice

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. was very impressive in the joint practice with the Detroit Lions on Wednesday.

Josh Allen To Play Against Broncos Saturday

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that quarterback Josh Allen is going to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Denver Broncos and that most of the starters will play "a healthy amount." Fantasy managers that have already drafted Allen as the likely overall QB1 will be keeping their fingers crossed that he comes […]

Alec Pierce's Confidence Growing

The Indianapolis Colts seem unlikely to sign a veteran wide receiver before the regular season, mainly based on the rate of growth from rookie receiver Alec Pierce. Pierce still has work to do, but his confidence is growing by the day. The 22-year-old is unlikely to be drafted in standard 12-team leagues, but he's one […]

Don't Let Go: Players You Should Stop Dropping In Fantasy Football Dynasty Leagues

Ahh, the NFL preseason. It's a great time to watch third-stringers play football and to fill in the gaps on your dynasty rosters by picking up players off of the waiver wire who are having good camps/preseason. There's a downside to that, which is that to add a player, you have to drop a player. […]

2022 Fantasy Football Sleeper: DeVante Parker

 DeVante Parker traded teams, but he did not trade divisions this offseason. Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots attempted to upgrade their tight end and receiving corps during the 2021 offseason by throwing millions of dollars at the positions. While some signings worked out (Hunter Henry, Kendrick Bourne), others have been abject failures (Jonnu […]

Will Jonathan Taylor Be The Best Running Back In Fantasy Football in 2022?

Jonathan Taylor is on the heels of one of the best fantasy seasons we have ever seen from a running back.
