Jonathan Ward Re-Signs With Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals have re-signed running back Jonathan Ward. The 24-year-old was set to become an exclusive rights free agent prior to the signing. Ward has spent each of his two NFL seasons with the Cardinals after going undrafted in 2020. Over those two seasons, he has mostly played on special teams. As a running […]

Jordan Hicks Released By Cardinals

The Arizona Cardinals are releasing linebacker Jordan Hicks. The 29-year-old spent each of the past three seasons with the team and didn't miss a single regular season game, compiling triple-digit tackles each year. Last year, he even added a career-high four sacks. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Cardinals are making the move to release […]

Byron Jones Undergoes Surgery On Ankle

Miami Dolphins cornerback Byron Jones (ankle) has undergone surgery on his ankle. He's expected to have a recovery period of about two months, meaning he'll be ready for action well ahead of training camp this year. The veteran was a key component of what was at times a dominant Miami defense last year. He was […]

Devin Booker Returning On Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker is available for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He is set to return after missing multiple games due to the league's health and safety protocols. It's uncertain if Booker is going to be limited or not due to conditioning reasons. Landry Shamet should move back to the second unit […]

Devin Vassell To Play On Wednesday

San Antonio Spurs forward Devin Vassell (groin) is available for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. He was forced to miss their last game due to a groin issue, but should return to the starting five here. Vassell has been playing better lately and is worth rostering in most fantasy formats right now. His return […]

Killian Hayes Tagged As Questionable For Wednesday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He tweaked his hip during Monday's contest, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him sit out here. Hayes finished with 13 points, six assists, and four rebounds in 31 minutes. He has been inconsistent throughout the season, […]

Jimmy Garoppolo Could Be Trade Target For Colts

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) has been the target of some trade rumors this offseason. Teams that have been linked to him have included the New Orleans Saints and the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, a new suitor could have just arisen. The Indianapolis Colts traded starting quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders on […]

Tre Mann Sitting Out On Wednesday

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Tre Mann (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He has been playing more minutes lately with Josh Giddey (hip) and Luguentz Dort (shoulder) sidelined. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will be asked to do basically everything on offense with the Thunder shorthanded. Lindy Waters III and Theo Maledon […]

Carson Wentz Traded To Washington

The Washington Commanders have acquired quarterback Carson Wentz in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts. While the specifics of the trade have yet to be released, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that two third-round picks will be heading to Indianapolis. The 29-year-old Wentz lasted just one year with the Colts, but had a good amount of […]

Cameron Johnson Ruled Out For Wednesday

Phoenix Suns guard Cameron Johnson (quad) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. He sat out on Tuesday, which resulted in Landry Shamet playing heavy minutes. The return of Devin Booker could possibly damage the playing time and usage of Shamet. Although, there should still be decent streaming value for Shamet […]

Brandon Ingram Won't Play Versus Orlando

New Orleans Pelicans forward Brandon Ingram (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Orlando Magic. This shouldn't come as a surprise after Ingram sat out of Tuesday's contest. His absence resulted in Tony Snell getting the starting nod, but he finished with three points. Naji Marshall ended up benefiting the most with […]

Kristaps Porzingis Will Play On Friday

Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Although, Porzingis will sit out during Saturday's contest. This isn't shocking news considering Porzingis has been sidelined over a month. Fantasy managers should expect the Wizards to continue being cautious with Porzingis going forward. His fantasy value is going […]

Grayson Allen Available On Wednesday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Grayson Allen (hip) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. He sat out their last contest, but that was likely the Bucks being extra cautious. Allen should return to his normal role in the starting five on Wednesday. His return should shift Jordan Nwora […]

NFL Franchise Tag Deadline Day Winners - Instant Reaction

We're inching closer to the official start of the NFL free agency next Wednesday, March 16. Before we arrive at that date a week from now, though, we just inadvertently went through another important period of NFL action that spanned from Feb. 22 to Mar. 8 in which NFL clubs could designate Franchise or Transition […]

Scottie Scheffler Extremely Hot Entering Players Championship

After winning last week's Arnold Palmer Invitational, Scottie Scheffler has now won two of his last three starts. His driver was a major factor in his first win while losing strokes on approach. His second win came courtesy of a whopping 8.44 strokes gained on approach with minimal contributions from his driver. In both wins, […]

Webb Simpson Returns After Bulging Disc Injury

Webb Simpson (back) returns to the PGA Tour after a two-month layoff while dealing with a bulging disc injury. It's difficult to say how healthy Simpson is as he comes to TPC Sawgrass this week, but we think the extended layoff will have him feeling pretty good. Simpson, a former Players Champion, certainly has some […]

Jason Day Not Striking It Well Recently

Jason Day won The Players Championship in 2016, gaining over 6.3 strokes on approach. His six starts in 2022 have only produced one positive iron performance at the Farmers Insurance Open. As is now a customary part of his game, he made the cut in five of his starts this year by leaning on his […]

Ravens Won't Tender Chris Westry

The Baltimore Ravens told impending restricted free-agent cornerback Chris Westry that they will not tender him a contract for the 2022 season, according to a source. The Ravens will keep talking with Westry, though, and they'd like to re-sign him at a lower cost. The lowest the Ravens could have tendered Westry would have been […]

Sungjae Im's Irons A Concern

TPC Sawgrass demands exceptional approach play from past champions. Sungjae Im has only gained more than a stroke on approach once in his last four starts. He putted exceptionally well in two of those four tournaments, salvaging two T20s by gaining more than six strokes putting. Im has been a consistent gainer off the tee […]

Giants Sign Matt Gono To One-Year Deal

The New York Giants signed offensive tackle Matt Gono to a one-year deal on Wednesday, according to a source. Gono was released by the Atlanta Falcons in January after he missed the entire 2021 season due to a shoulder injury. He's currently healthy, though, and he'll bring high upside to New York's offensive line in […]

Junior Fernandez Resumes Throwing

St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Junior Fernandez (shoulder), who ended last year on the 60-day injured list due to a strained shoulder, posted a video of him throwing off a mound on his Instagram account on Wednesday. Some sort of spring training would probably be helpful for Fernandez as he attempts to win a spot […]

Yusei Kikuchi Drawing Interest From Yankees

The New York Yankees requested/received medicals for free-agent left-hander Yusei Kikuchi before MLB's lockout began in early December. The New York Mets are also expected to have interest in Kikuchi once MLB and the players reach a new collective bargaining agreement, which could come as soon as Wednesday. The 30-year-old southpaw had a 4.41 ERA, […]

Yankees Looking At Carlos Rodon

The New York Yankees requested/received medicals for free-agent left-hander Carlos Rodon before MLB's lockout began in early December. Rodon should have plenty of interest around the league once the lockout is lifted, possibly as early as Wednesday, after sporting a 2.37 ERA and 0.96 WHIP while striking out 185 and walking 36 in 132 2/3 […]

Hideki Matsuyama A Hot Putter Away From Victory

In classic Hideki Matsuyama fashion, the Japanese star finished T20 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational while losing stokes on the putting green. In 10 starts this season, Matsuyama has lost strokes on approach once, losing a menacing minus-0.01 strokes at the Shriners Children's Open. He has a similar record off the tee, losing strokes only […]

Free NBA Betting Picks - Today's Best Bets, Expert Predictions, Odds (3/9/22)

When you take a stand on games early in the day, sometimes the late injury news works out in your favor and sometimes it bites you. I was counting on Nikola Vucevic playing for Chicago on Monday night, but he didn't suit up and the Bulls failed to cover against the red-hot Sixers. We did […]

Rory McIlroy Looking To Repeat Ball-Striking At The Players

Rory McIlroy gained a season-high 7.5 strokes in ball-striking at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. Unfortunately, his putter rebelled at the worst time, and he lost strokes over his four rounds. A three-putt from five feet on Sunday was seemingly the straw that broke the camel's back. Past winners at The Players, including McIlroy, have typically […]

Jim Harbaugh Says He Won't Return To NFL

Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh said on Tuesday that the door is closed on a potential return to the NFL after he was a finalist for the Minnesota Vikings head-coaching job this winter. The Vikings didn't offer Harbaugh the job and ended up hiring former Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell. The 58-year-old Harbaugh […]
