Jordan Clarkson On His Way Out Of Utah?

Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson could be the next player on the roster to be moved. The team has already traded Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert this offseason. However, Utah reportedly isn't finished as Clarkson, along with Bojan Bogdanovic and Mike Conley, may be suiting up elsewhere this season. The 2021 Sixth Man of the […]

Cam Reddish May Be Looking For A New Team

New York Knicks forward Cam Reddish may be looking for a new team. While Reddish hasn't officially asked to be moved, Steven Bondy of the New York Daily News reported the former Hawk prefers to play elsewhere. The 23-year-old was selected in the first round of the 2019 NBA Draft by Atlanta. While his tenure […]

Mike Conley On The Trade Block

Utah Jazz guard Mike Conley is on the trade block. With Utah already moving on from Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell, it's apparent the team is looking to offload its remaining assets. Conley finished last season by averaging 13.7 points, 5.3 assists, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. He also shot 40.8% from deep, and even […]

Grant Williams Expected To Have Increased Role This Season

Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams could have an even bigger role this season. With Danilo Gallinari (knee) recently tearing his ACL, the door is open for Williams to benefit on the fantasy end. The 23-year-old played well last season. However, he picked things up throughout the postseason by averaging 8.6 points and 3.8 rebounds while […]

Jazz Shopping Bojan Bogdanovic

Utah Jazz forward Bojan Bogdanovic could be on the move. With the team making it known it's in a rebuilding stage after dealing Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, Bogdanovic may be the next to go. Despite getting up there in age, the 33-year-old had a solid season in 2021-22, averaging 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, and […]

Danilo Gallinari Out Indefinitely

Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) was diagnosed with a torn left ACL and will undergo surgery once the swelling subsides. As a result, Gallinari is out indefinitely, although he hopes to return before the end of the season. The 34-year-old, who suffered the injury during a FIBA World Cup qualifying game, was traded to […]

Lonzo Ball Still Dealing With Knee Pain And Discomfort

Chicago Bulls guard Lonzo Ball (knee) continues to deal with "lingering pain and soreness" in his left knee. The 24-year-old tore his meniscus last season, resulting in surgery back in January. It was a tough blow for the team, primarily since Ball had been averaging 13.0 points, 5.8 assists, 5.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals before […]

Blake Treinen Activated From Injured List

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Blake Treinen (shoulder) was activated from the IL prior to Friday's game against the San Diego Padres. Treinen will likely make his return this weekend after missing almost five months with a right shoulder injury. On his rehab assignment, Treinen pitched to a 4.50 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with a […]

Nick Castellanos Returns To Lineup Friday

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (toe) is back in the starting lineup Friday night against Alex Cobb and the San Francisco Giants, batting sixth and playing right field. Castellanos was diagnosed with turf toe earlier in the week and missed three games dealing with the ailment. The 30-year-old has disappointed fantasy managers who drafted him […]

Robert Woods The Unquestioned No. 1 WR For Titans

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Robert Woods has been a joy for the Titans this summer in terms of his presence in the locker room, his recovery from ACL surgery with a full limitation-free training camp and his performance, writes The Athletic's Joe Rexrode. Woods and quarterback Ryan Tannehill have built chemistry quickly, and Woods will […]

Gavin Lux Scratched Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Gavin Lux was scratched from the starting lineup on Friday. Lux was actually expected to cover shortstop with Trea Turner sitting out, but the Dodgers sent out a new lineup without Lux in it. The 24-year-old is in the midst of a very solid campaign in which he has slashed […]

Julio Jones Should Be Bucs No. 3 Option In Passing Game

The Athletic's Greg Auman thinks Tampa Bay Buccaneers veteran wide receiver Julio Jones (if healthy) should be a strong No. 3 option this year behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. Jones can be dangerous in the red zone. Russell Gage has been limited by a hamstring injury but should be in line for a higher […]

Trea Turner Sitting For First Time This Season

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Trea Turner isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the San Diego Padres, marking the first time this season that Turner won't start for the Dodgers. It is a bit surprising that they'd sit the star shortstop against a division rival, but the Dodgers have had the top seed […]

Rashaad Penny The Clear Lead Back In Seattle

At the moment, Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny is a better running back than rookie Kenneth Walker III (hernia), according to The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar. Whenever Walker is healthy enough to play, it may take him some time to get into a rhythm after missing time during training camp due to his injury. And […]

Yordan Alvarez Returns Friday

Houston Astros outfielder/designated hitter Yordan Alvarez (hand) is back in the starting lineup Friday against Reid Detmers and the Los Angeles Angels, batting third and serving as the DH. The 25-year-old phenom missed three games while dealing with a sore left hand but is good to go Friday night. Fantasy managers will hope that the […]

Chase Claypool Still Ahead Of George Pickens

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has impressed this summer, but he still has a ways to go to catch Chase Claypool, even with Claypool being banged up throughout training camp. Claypool has moved inside more than ever this summer, especially in three-receiver sets, which could diminish his yards-per-catch average. Because he'll see more opportunities, […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Sitting Out Friday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Gurriel is being held out of the lineup to heal a "bothersome wrist issue", but it doesn't sound like a serious concern. After a scorching hot June and July, the 28-year-old went on a […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Has Limited Upside

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson could rack up catches in his first NFL season, but he's not a refined receiver yet and most of his touches will likely come around the line of scrimmage, which limits his fantasy upside. The 21-year-old second-round pick has looked good this summer and should open the […]

Tanner Houck Likely Having Back Surgery

Boston Red Sox right-handed pitcher Tanner Houck (back) is expected to have back surgery to repair a disc issue. Houck was expected to miss the rest of the 2022 season, but this news all but confirms that. Houck has been dealing with the issue since an IL stint in early August, and even when he […]

Texans Release Chris Conley

The Houston Texans released wide receiver Chris Conley on Friday to make room for newly signed tight end O.J. Howard on the active roster. In his lone season with Houston last year, Conley caught 22 of his 37 targets for 323 yards and only two touchdowns in 16 games (10 starts). The 29-year-old former third-round […]

Van Jefferson "Making Good Progress"

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that wide receiver Van Jefferson (knee) is "making good progress" as he rehabs from knee surgery during training camp. McVay said the team is "taking it a day at a time" with Jefferson and his availability for the Week 1 season opener next Thursday night against the […]

Cam Akers, Darrell Henderson Jr. "Good To Go"

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running backs Cam Akers and Darrell Henderson Jr. are "good to go." Both running backs practiced on Friday after missing time during training camp with soft-tissue injuries. Akers and Henderson returned to full practice to start the week on Monday and should be fine for the […]

Eloy Jimenez Not In The Starting Lineup

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (leg) is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Minnesota Twins. Jimenez was forced to exit the game early against the Kansas City Royals on Thursday with right leg soreness. Although he's likely just day-to-day, fantasy managers will need to remove him from their lineups for the […]

Danny Jansen Retreats To The Bench Friday

Toronto Blue Jays catcher Danny Jansen is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. It will be the second straight day that Jansen will begin on the bench for Toronto. He hit just .213 (10-for-47) with two home runs, nine RBI, seven runs scored and 11 strikeouts in 15 games in […]

White Sox Put Luis Robert On Paternity List

The Chicago White Sox placed outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) on the paternity list on Friday and selected the contract of outfielder Mark Payton from Triple-A Charlotte in a corresponding move. The team also moved left-hander Aaron Bummer to the 60-day injured list. Robert left the team on Thursday to be with his pregnant wife, and […]

Spencer Steer To Play Regularly

Cincinnati Reds shortstop prospect Spencer Steer will be in the lineup "as much as possible," according to manager David Bell. Steer, the team's No. 7 prospect per MLB Pipeline, came over from the Minnesota Twins at the trade deadline in the deal that sent right-hander Tyler Mahle to Minnesota. He's making his major league debut […]

Reese McGuire Begins On Bench Friday

Boston Red Sox catcher Reese McGuire will be out of the starting lineup again on Friday against the Texas Rangers. McGuire will be out of the starting lineup for the third straight game on Friday despite going 20-for-54 (.370) with no homers, five RBI and five runs scored in 18 games since joining the team […]

Owen Miller Not Starting Against Mariners

Cleveland Guardians second baseman Owen Miller is not in the starting lineup on Friday against the Seattle Mariners. Miller has gone 4-for-18 (.222) with six strikeouts in eight games over the last two weeks and has been on the bench in two of the team's last four games. With Miller out of the lineup Friday, […]

Jorge Polanco Missing Another Game Friday

Minnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco (knee) is still out of the starting lineup on Friday against the Chicago White Sox. Polanco remains day-to-day, but this will be his fifth straight game starting on the bench. If he misses the rest of the weekend, there's a good chance he'll be placed on the injured list. […]

Wander Franco Close To Resuming Rehab Assignment

Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (wrist, hand) said his hand feels better and that he is very close to resuming a minor league rehab assignment. However, he has no set target date to get back to Triple-A Durham or to rejoin the Rays. Franco will take batting practice on Friday in more of a […]
