John Metchie III Expects To Be Ready To Go In July

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III (knee) says he will be ready to go in July while adding he feels "amazing." In December, the former Alabama product tore his left ACL during the SEC Championship. As a result, his draft stock fell, ultimately causing him to fall to the Texans, who selected him with […]

Joanderson Brito Lands Knockout Blow In First Round

The track record and salary were too good to pass up for Joanderson Brito heading into Saturday's contest. Coming off of a loss in his UFC debut, we were graced with a low salary point. Less than one minute into Saturday's contest with Andre Fili (41 seconds), Brito threw an overhand right from the outfield […]

Daniel Jones Still Giants Starting Quarterback

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is still considered the team's starter. Despite the team recently declining Jones' fifth-year option, general manager Joe Schoen indicated that the signal-caller is still the No. 1 option on the depth chart. The 24-year-old showed promise during his rookie year by finishing with 3,027 yards, 24 touchdowns, more than […]

Jared Gordon Fights Tough But Is Submitted

With a four-fight winning streak hanging in the balance heading into Saturday's matchup, it was not meant to be for Jared Gordon, who ended up suffering a third-round submission loss to Grant Dawson. In 14:11 of action, Gordon actually out-struck Dawson by landing 77 significant strikes (111 total strikes), but he was taken down seven […]

Grant Dawson Continues His Successful Run In The Octagon

Grant Dawson was as advertised Saturday night against Jared Gordon, earning a third-round submission by rear-naked choke. In 14:11 of action, Dawson tallied 54 significant strikes (98 total strikes) while landing a very solid seven takedowns on 17 tries. Though Gordon actually out-struck Dawson in the contest, Dawson held 7:11 of control time. With this […]

Eagles GM: Jalen Reagor "Anticipated" To Remain In Philly

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor isn't expected to be dealt ahead of the 2022-23 season. This revelation came from general manager Howie Roseman, who appeared to shut down trade rumors by recently stating, "Jalen Reagor is a Philadelphia Eagle, and he's going to be here. He's worked tremendously hard to get in shape and come […]

Deebo Samuel Still Wants Out Of San Francisco

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel remains "dug in" regarding his request for a trade. The 2022 NFL Draft came and went, but the hybrid superstar remains on the roster, even after reports came to life that the Lions and Jets made offers to acquire his services. Samuel, who is coming off the best […]

Tristan Connelly Unable To Get The Victory

Without a doubt, this matchup was Tristan Connelly's biggest to date in the UFC. Unfortunately for Connelly, he was unable to handle the pressure of Darren Elkins and took a unanimous-decision loss on Saturday. Through 15 minutes of action, Connelly tallied up 66 significant strikes (106 total strikes) while not attempting a single takedown. Connelly […]

Geno Smith Could Still Earn Starting Gig In Seattle

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith could end up as the team's No. 1 option come the regular season. With the organization opting not to select a signal-caller during the NFL Draft or acquire Baker Mayfield, Smith may be battling Drew Lock throughout training camp for the starting job. Seattle is looking to fill a massive […]

Tommy Edman Should Return Soon

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Tommy Edman (groin) is hopeful to play within the next day or two. He was forced to exit early during Sunday's game due a groin issue. He mentioned that he has been feeling tightness in his hip over the last few days. Hopefully, Edman can take a few days off and […]

Vintage Darren Elkins Earns Big Decision Win Saturday

It was the Darren Elkins of old Saturday against Tristian Connelly, with Elkins delivering the pressure and earning a unanimous decision. Throughout 15 minutes of intense competition, Elkins racked up 75 significant strikes (165 total strikes) while landing five of his 10 takedown attempts. The takedown department was a huge deciding factor on the stat […]

Gerald Meerschaert Unable To Get Fourth Straight Win

Looking for his first four-fight winning streak and entering Saturday's contest with three straight finishes, Gerald Meerschaert was unable to walk out of the Octagon with a victory, taking a unanimous-decision loss to Krzysztof Jotko. In 15 minutes of action, Meerschaert tallied only 37 significant strikes (46 total strikes) and only landed one of his […]

Garrett Hampson Likely To Be Activated On Monday

Colorado Rockies infielder Garrett Hampson (hand) is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list on Monday. The young infielder has been sidelined since April 17 due to a right hand contusion. Hampson has been playing in the minor leagues without any issues, so it appears that he is ready to return to the […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Goes Hitless On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. has struggled to find his groove since returning from the injured list. He has struck out six times in 14 plate appearances, but his slow start was expected. On Sunday, Acuna went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts in the loss to the Texas Rangers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be worried about […]

Krzysztof Jotko Dominates For Decision Win Saturday

Keeping with his theme of being the cage general for 15 minutes, Krzysztof Jotko controlled the matchup with Gerald Meerschaert to earn a unanimous decision in Saturday night's main-card opener. In 15 minutes of action, Jotko landed 65 significant strikes out of 129 total strikes, and he landed all four of his takedown tries. With […]

Justus Sheffield Heading Back To Minors

Seattle Mariners pitcher Justus Sheffield has been optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday. They need to shorten their roster, so it seems that Sheffield is the odd man out. He was excellent out of the bullpen for the Mariners. He threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings during his time at the big leagues this season. Although, […]

Clarke Schmidt Optioned To Minors

New York Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt has been optioned to the minor leagues on Sunday. This is somewhat surprising considering Schmidt has been solid in his short time being up at the big league level. He has posted a 1.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 8/4 K/BB ratio over 8 1/3 innings in the MLB. The […]

P.J. Tucker Listed On Injury Report Once Again

Miami Heat forward P.J. Tucker (calf) is once again listed on the league's official injury report. The veteran is questionable ahead of the series-opening match versus Philadelphia on Monday night due to a nagging right calf strain. However, he's been playing with the ailment throughout all of the postseason, so it's highly unlikely he won't […]

Markieff Morris Questionable For Game 1 With An Illness

Miami Heat forward Markieff Morris (illness) may miss Monday's postseason opener versus Philadelphia. Morris is currently dealing with a non-COVID-19 respiratory illness. However, even if Morris is available, he probably won't see much of the floor anyway. Yet, that could change if P.J. Tucker (calf) can't suit up, although he'll likely be out there despite […]

Caleb Martin May Miss Game 1 Against Philadelphia

Miami Heat guard Caleb Martin (ankle) is uncertain for Monday's playoff meeting against the 76ers. The 26-year-old is currently dealing with a sprained left ankle, although it's unknown exactly how severe the injury is. Nonetheless, Jimmy Butler (knee) may not play, and Kyle Lowry (hamstring) has already been ruled out. As a result, Martin may […]

Max Strus Uncertain For Game 1 Versus 76ers

Miami Heat guard Max Strus (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game with the 76ers. The 26-year-old played well during the first-round playoff meeting against the Hawks, averaging 14.0 points and 1.4 steals. However, Strus is now dealing with a hamstring strain, so if he can't play, Victor Oladipo, who had 23 points during the series […]

Kyle Lowry Out For Series Opener On Monday

Miami Heat guard Kyle Lowry (hamstring) will miss Monday's playoff meeting against Philadelphia. The veteran injured his left hamstring during Game 3 of the postseason series versus Atlanta, and he hasn't been available since. Nonetheless, with Lowry out of the lineup, Gabe Vincent should continue to take his spot in the rotation. Vincent averaged 8.4 […]

Tyler Herro Dealing With An Illness

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (illness) is questionable for the series opener versus the Philadelphia 76ers. The 22-year-old doesn't have COVID. However, he's been battling a respiratory illness, forcing him to miss Friday's practice. He did return on Saturday, so it appears as if he is moving in the right direction. Nonetheless, Herro struggled throughout […]

Jimmy Butler Questionable Against Philly

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is questionable for Monday's postseason matchup versus Philadelphia. The veteran wasn't available for the series finale against the Atlanta Hawks, and neither was Kyle Lowry (hamstring). As a result, Victor Oladipo entered the starting lineup and finished with 23 points off 8-for-16 shooting and three steals. Lowry has already […]

Frederik Andersen Out For Game 1

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen (lower body) will miss Monday's playoff opener against Boston. He was sidelined by a lower-body injury on Apr. 16 and hasn't practiced since then. It was a very unfortunate end to the regular season for Andersen after he had impressed throughout the campaign. The Danish netminder put together a 35-14-3 […]

Darnell Nurse Practices On Sunday

Edmonton Oilers defenseman Darnell Nurse (lower body) practiced with the team on Sunday and could be available for Game 1 against the Kings on Monday. He missed the final four games of the regular season after hurting his right leg against Colorado on Apr. 22. Nurse finished the regular season with 35 points, 196 hits […]
