Trevor Bauer Won't Opt Out Of His Contract

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer will not opt out of his historic contract. The right-hander has $64 million left over two more years, and a decision to opt out now would have resulted in lengthy deferrals. Bauer also has the option to opt out after the 2022 season, and he'd take a $15 […]

Tucker Barnhart Traded To The Tigers

The Detroit Tigers acquired catcher Tucker Barnhart from the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday in exchange for infield prospect Nick Quintana, according to sources. The Gold Glove catcher will fill a key area of need for the Tigers in 2022. Jake Rogers (elbow) is expected to miss most of next year following Tommy John surgery, and […]

Buster Posey To Announce Retirement Thursday

San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey, a seven-time All-Star, will announce his retirement on Thursday, according to sources. The 34-year-old will walk into the sunset after a decorated 12-year career that saw him win the 2010 National League Rookie of the Year, the 2012 NL MVP, four Silver Slugger awards, one Gold Glove and an […]

Adam Trautman - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints tight end Adam Trautman should remain benched against the Falcons. Trautman has been really inconsistent and underwhelming in 2021. He has posted more than 35 yards only twice. Last week, he posted two receptions for four yards on six targets. The TE's role is generally small and the Saints don't have a […]

Tre'Quan Smith - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith is not a viable fantasy play in Week 9. Smith posted three receptions for 33 yards and a score on three targets last week and has a total of 44 yards on the season in two games after returning from IR in Week 7. Now, though the Saints […]

Montez Sweat Could Miss A Month With Fractured Jaw

Washington Football Team defensive end Montez Sweat (jaw) suffered a fractured jaw in the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos and could miss as much as a month, according to sources. The 25-year-old is expected to avoid surgery for the non-displaced fracture, but it will be a big blow to a Washington defense that […]

Marquez Callaway - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway is nothing more than a flex play in Week 9 against the Falcons. The 23-year-old has been sporadic this season, posting a couple of decent games in the middle of mostly underwhelming performances. He's posted no more than 32 yards in the last two games. Callaway will remain […]

Marcedes Lewis - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers tight end Marcedes Lewis is in line for more work after starter Robert Tonyan was diagnosed with a torn ACL. He logged 31-of-73 snaps (42%) in last Thursday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The Packers will be without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was ruled out in Week 9 after testing positive […]

Mark Ingram II - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram II is not a strong play in Week 9 against Atlanta. Ingram was traded back to New Orleans from Houston last week and is back on the Saints, the team he played for from 2011-2018. He wasn't all that effective in his first game back, posting six carries […]

Packers Expected To Sign Blake Bortles

Veteran quarterback Blake Bortles flew to Green Bay on Wednesday with the expectation that he will sign with the Packers practice squad and be eligible for the 53-man roster this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. Earlier in the day on Wednesday, it was announced that Aaron Rodgers tested positive for […]

Alvin Kamara - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is a strong RB1 against Atlanta. Kamara has been the center of this offense since Week 1 and that should not change going forward with WR Michael Thomas out for the rest of the season with his ankle injury. Kamara has posted at least 61 rushing yards in […]

Royce O'Neale Picks Up Questionable Tag For Thursday

Utah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game against Atlanta due to a sprained right ankle. O'Neale has yet to miss an outing this season, so how Utah would allocate his minutes is unclear. That being said, Eric Paschall would be a candidate to enter the […]

Rex Burkhead, Chris Conley Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans running back Rex Burkhead (hip) and wide receiver Chris Conley (calf) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Tight end Pharaoh Brown (thigh), who missed the Week 8 game, did not practice. In the first game without Mark Ingram II, Burkhead led Houston's running backs with a 49.2% snap share, with Scottie Phillips […]

Randall Cobb - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb was the team's de facto top target in last Thursday's game against the Arizona Cardinals when Davante Adams and Allen Lazard were ruled out in Week 8. He brought in three of five targets for 15 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 24-21 win over the Cardinals. […]

Phoenix Deems Cameron Payne Questionable For Thursday

Phoenix Suns point guard Cameron Payne (hamstring) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's contest against Houston due to a strained right hamstring. Payne has missed each of Phoenix's four previous games with the injury, allowing Elfrid Payton to snag a handful of minutes off the bench. Payne, a breakout sensation from the […]

Robert Woods Rests Foot Injury Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) took the day off of practice on Wednesday while tending to a foot injury. Woods still has two days to get back onto the practice field ahead of a Sunday night matchup with the Tennessee Titans in Week 8. The 29-year-old hasn't been quarterback Matthew Stafford's favorite […]

Matthew Stafford Misses Practice Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday due to a back injury. It sounds as though the Rams are just taking it easy on Stafford and most of the veterans on the team early in the week leading up to a Week 9 date against the […]

Dwight Howard Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard (neck) has been listed as questionable to play in Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a neck ailment. Howard has been sidelined for the team's previous two contests, paving the way for the Lakers to deploy Anthony Davis as their starting center. Howard has logged just 15.2 minutes […]

CeeDee Lamb Dealing With Ankle Injury

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (ankle) is on the Week 9 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury. Tight end Blake Jarwin (hip) also missed practice. It's something to watch, but we're not too concerned about the 22-year-old's status for a Week 9 meeting with the Denver Broncos. […]

AJ Dillon - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers running back AJ Dillon rushed 16 times for 78 yards in a Week 8 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Last Thursday, he logged 29-of-73 snaps (40%) and should see an uptick in carries with star QB Aaron Rodgers ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 23-year-old has recorded […]

Houston Tags Daniel Theis As Questionable For Thursday

Houston Rockets power forward/center Daniel Theis (toe) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Thursday's contest vs. the Suns. Theis was unavailable Tuesday due to a sore big toe on his right foot, allowing Alperen Sengun to draw the first start of his career. Should Theis once again be unavailable, look for Sengun to […]

Dawson Knox, Cole Beasley Absent Wednesday

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (hand) and wide receiver Cole Beasley (ribs) both missed practice on Wednesday. Knox is improving after having surgery on his hand, but he's not ready to return to practice and is unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tommy Sweeney has seen more playing time in […]

Kyle Kuzma Departs Wednesday’s Contest With Injury

Washington Wizards small/power forward Kyle Kuzma (forearm) has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Raptors due to a right forearm contusion. Kuzma has gotten off to a strong start to the 2021-22 campaign, entering the night averaging 15.9 points and 11 boards per contest. But prior to his departure, Kuzma […]

Taysom Hill Limited At Wednesday's Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Hill suffered a concussion in Week 5 and has missed the team's last two games, but he's on track to return in Week 9 against the Atlanta Falcons and figures to take over under center after Jameis Winston (knee) suffered a […]

Luguentz Dort Earns Questionable Tag For Thursday

Oklahoma City Thunder shooting guard Luguentz Dort (shoulder) has been deemed questionable to play in Thursday's contest against the Lakers due to a shoulder ailment. Dort has scuffled from the field across his first six outings, shooting 35.4 percent overall, including just 22.6 percent from behind the arc. Should Dort be forced to miss the […]

Trevor Siemian - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

The New Orleans Saints lost their starting quarterback Jameis Winston for the season to a torn ACL in Week 8. Now, they must move forward with Taysom Hill, Trevor Siemian, or a free agent signing. As of now, there is no indication on who will start in Week 9, but the odds would be in […]

Justin Herbert On The Week 9 Injury Report

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) was listed on the Week 9 injury report with a right hand injury. He was limited in practice on Wednesday. Running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) is also on the injury report after not practicing. For Herbert, it's an injury that was initially suffered in Week 3, but at […]

Allen Lazard - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard was reinstated from the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday. He was deemed a close contact of teammate Davante Adams, who tested positive COVID-19 last week and did not play in Week 8 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Packers will be without star quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who was ruled out […]

Jalen Reagor Absent For Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jalen Reagor (ankle) did not take the practice field on Wednesday after getting injured in the Week 8 blowout win over the Detroit Lions. Reagor is expected to return and play in Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers, but he'll need to return to practice later in the week. Reagor, […]

Anthony Davis Likely To Play Thursday

Los Angeles Lakers forward Anthony Davis (knee) is probable for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City. Davis should be out there after playing 32 minutes in his last game- in which he racked up 27 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and two steals. The Thunder have allowed the seventh-most FanDuel points per game to […]
