Joc Pederson Declines Option, Opts For Free Agency

Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson has elected free agency, turning down his end of a $10 million dollar mutual contract option for 2022. He will instead receive a $2.5 million dollar buyout. The back-to-back world champion slashed .238/.310/.422 for both the Cubs and Braves this season, totaling 40 extra-base hits, including 18 home runs in […]

David Johnson - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Houston Texans running back David Johnson is on shaky fantasy ground heading into a Week 9 matchup with the Dolphins. Johnson was seemingly poised to take control of the backfield following the trade of Mark Ingram II but instead saw just three touches. Of course, the tough matchup against the Rams played a factor, which […]

Minnesota Vikings Defense- Week 9 Outlook

The Minnesota Vikings defense breathed a sigh of relief in Week 8 against the Dallas Cowboys when it was announced that Dak Prescott would not be playing. After all, Cooper Rush would be making his first NFL start against a Vikings defense that currently sits at 8th best against opposing quarterbacks. But Rush and the […]

Kenny Golladay Questionable To Play This Sunday

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay (knee) is listed as questionable to play in the Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Golladay finally returned to practice this week after being out since suffering a hyperextended knee in Week 5. There's no guarantee he returns this weekend, but the Giants could use him […]

Wade Miley Claimed Off Waivers By Cubs

The Chicago Cubs claimed left-hander Wade Miley off waivers from the Cincinnati Reds on Friday, adding the southpaw to their starting rotation mix. The Reds appear intent on cutting payroll, as they had a reasonable $10 million dollar team option on Miley, who was worth six WAR and went 12-7 with a 3.37 ERA, 1.33 […]

Sterling Shepard Ruled Out In Week 9

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (quadriceps) has been ruled out for the Week 9 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders after he suffered a new quad injury in the Monday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The good news is that the Giants go on their bye next week, so there's a […]

Greg Joseph - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings kicker Greg Joseph continues to be one of the top kickers in fantasy football this season. He made all three of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in the Vikings Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Joseph is averaging almost three field-goal attempts per week and is now third in […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods (foot) didn't practice all week, but head coach Sean McVay expects Woods to play on Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9.

Twins Decline Option On Alex Colome

The Minnesota Twins declined a 2022 option on relief pitcher Alex Colome, who will become a free agent. Colome signed on with the Twins last offseason to close, though it was a tale of two halves for the veteran, as his season got off to a disastrous start before he finished the year strong, pitching […]

Matthew Stafford Expected To Play Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) didn't practice all week, but head coach Sean McVay expects him to play on Sunday night against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. Stafford is managing a back issue that isn't believed to be serious, but the fact that he was held out of practice all week makes […]

P.J. Washington Listed As Doubtful For Friday

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Sacramento Kings. The young forward continues to be bothered by a foot issue that has sidelined him multiple times early in the season. His absence would likely mean more minutes for Mason Plumlee and Jalen McDaniels. Washington hasn't played well […]

Maxi Kleber Ruled Out For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (oblique) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Boston Celtics. He continues to sit out while he battles a lingering oblique issue. That is something that is likely going to force him to miss several games. The Mavs are hopeful that Kristaps Porzingis (back) will suit up on […]

Tyler Conklin - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings tight end Tyler Conklin had his second straight double-digit PPR performance in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Now sitting at TE15 on the season, Conklin has carved out a consistent if not exciting role in the Vikings offense. The offense will still go through Dalvin Cook, Justin Jefferson and Adam […]

Cade Cunningham No Longer Restricted

Detroit Pistons guard Cade Cunningham is no longer restricted during back-to-back sets, according to head coach Dwane Casey. It appears the prized rookie guard is no longer limited after sitting out one back-to-back set. That means, Cunningham should be fully available for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He recorded his first double-double of the […]

Jrue Holiday Hopeful To Play On Friday

Milwaukee Bucks guard Jrue Holiday (ankle, illness) is listed as probable for Friday's game against the New York Knicks. The organization is hopeful Holiday can return here after missing the last five contests. His return would send George Hill back to the bench and he'd lose most of his streaming appeal. It sounds like Holiday […]

Killian Hayes Tagged As Questionable For Friday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (thumb) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. He injured his thumb during Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. The team is calling it a left thumb sprain, but Hayes was able to finish out the contest. Cory Joseph and Frank Jackson would be asked to […]

Malcolm Brogdon Might Miss Friday's Game

Indiana Pacers guard Malcolm Brogdon (illness) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He is currently dealing with a non-COVID related illness, so this could come down to a game time decision. Brogdon returned on Wednesday after missing three games due to a hamstring issue. He played well in that […]

Kristaps Porzingis Could Play This Weekend

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (back) reportedly looked good during Friday's practice, according to head coach Jason Kidd. The organization is hopeful that Porzingis is able to play on Saturday against the Boston Celtics. He is currently listed as questionable, but it sounds like he'll play unless he suffers a setback. Fantasy managers have heard […]

K.J. Osborn - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn started the season with 15 catches for 167 yards and a touchdown in his first two games, only to follow that up with three straight games of 26 yards or less. Before the Vikings Week 7 bye, Osborn got back on track against the Carolina Panthers with six catches […]

Jonathan Marchessault Snipes In Vegas Victory

Vegas Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault netted two goals on Thursday, defeating the Senators 5-1. The veteran winger scored his third and fourth goals, and he now has four goals and two helpers in ten contests. Marchessault has been playing on the Golden Knights first-line due to several injuries in the team's lineup. Despite a […]

Christian McCaffrey Has Chance To Play Sunday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring), who is officially listed as questionable, has a chance to play in Sunday's game against New England.

Sam Darnold Questionable For Sunday

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold (concussion, shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Darnold could clear the concussion protocols by Saturday, though head coach Matt Rhule noted that the shoulder injury is as much of an issue as the concussion. The signal-caller was a limited participant at Friday's practice, with Rhule leaving the […]

Donovan Peoples-Jones Draws Questionable Tag

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones (groin) and tight end Harrison Bryant (thigh) are both listed as questionable for the Week 9 game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Peoples-Jones will likely serve as the No. 2 behind Jarvis Landry now that Odell Beckham Jr. is no longer with the team, so he could have some deep-league […]

Adam Thielen - Week 9 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen led the team in targets and yards and added a touchdown in the Week 8 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Thielen now has six touchdowns on the season and has found the end zone in all but two games. He will look to continue his solid play against a […]

Jarvis Landry Will Play Against Bengals

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (knee) was removed from the team's final injury report in Week 9 and will play against the Cincinnati Bengals. It will be Landry's first game after the team officially released Odell Beckham Jr. on Friday morning. Landry should remain quarterback Baker Mayfield's top aerial target, but he'll remain in […]

Austin Dillon Not Expected To Move Up Much At Phoenix

Austin Dillon had a couple of top-10 results in his racing career at Phoenix. The last one came in 2018. During the fall race last year, the Richard Childress Racing driver saved the car a few times. He ended up guiding the car home to a respectable 18th-place finish. The No. 3 car is unlikely […]
