Jonas Johansson Gets The Nod On Thursday

Colorado Avalanche goaltender Jonas Johansson will get the nod for his season debut in Thursday's meeting with the Panthers. Darcy Kuemper opened the season for Colorado with a 1-2-0 record. Johansson had a miserable time in Buffalo last season but managed to put together a good 5-1-1 record for the Avalanche after coming over via […]

Justin Turner Replaced On NLCS Roster After Hamstring Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner (hamstring) has been replaced on the National League Championship Series roster by infielder Andy Burns after the veteran suffered a Grade 2 left hamstring strain in the Game 4 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday. Burns last appeared in a big league game on June 22 and […]

Jack Hughes Heads To Injured Reserve

New Jersey Devils forward Jack Hughes (shoulder) was placed on Injured Reserve on Thursday after he had dislocated his left shoulder in Tuesday's 4-2 victory over Seattle. Hughes, who's started the year with two goals and three points in two outings, is set to get re-evaluated next week. It looks like Michael McLeod will get […]

Allen Robinson II Gets In A Limited Practice

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ankle) put in a limited practice on Thursday after being absent on Wednesday.

Jonathan Bernier Misses Thursday's Action With Injury

New Jersey Devils goaltender Jonathan Bernier won't be able to help his team against Washington on Thursday after picking up a lower-body injury. The veteran netminder made a nice 2-0-0 start to the campaign before getting hurt. He's listed day-to-day. With Mackenzie Blackwood (heel) still unavailable, Scott Wedgewood gets his season debut on Thursday. The […]

Rob Gronkowski Still Missing From Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski (lung, ribs) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Gronk hasn't played since he suffered a punctured lung and fractured ribs in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and it looks like he's in danger of missing his fourth straight game this weekend. […]

Russell Gage - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Russell Gage is returning just in time for a tasty matchup against the Dolphins. Gage has been dealing with an ankle injury that has kept him sidelined for about a month of action, but he has returned to full practice sessions this week. The 25-year-old takes on a Dolphins defense that […]

Brady Tkachuk, Matt Murray Making Season Debuts

Ottawa Senators left wing Brady Tkachuk and goaltender Matt Murray will be in the lineup for the first time this season in Thursday's battle with San Jose. Tkachuk, who missed the preseason due to a contract standoff, will replace Tim Stuetzle on the top line, with the German dropping to the third line. Murray's season […]

Curtis Samuel Not Looking Good For Week 7

Washington Football Team wide receivers Curtis Samuel (groin) and Cam Sims (hamstring) were both absent from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Samuel made his season debut in Week 4, but he aggravated a groin injury that's plagued him since June in Week 5 and sat out last Sunday's loss to the Kansas […]

Danny Amendola On Track To Return, Nico Collins Limited

Houston Texans wide receiver Danny Amendola (thigh) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday and appears set to return in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals after missing the last four games. The veteran slot man had six catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in the first two games of the […]

Taysom Hill, Deonte Harris Not Spotted Thursday

New Orleans Saints quarterback Taysom Hill (concussion) and wide receiver Deonte Harris (hamstring) both missed practice on Thursday to begin the practice week. It's not a good sign that Hill remains in the league's concussion protocol despite having the Week 6 bye to rest. The Saints continue to use Hill in certain packages behind Jameis […]

Sterling Shepard Returns To The Injury Report

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (hamstring) was added to the Week 7 injury report on Thursday when he got in a limited practice. Shepard missed two games in Weeks 4 and 5 but returned last Sunday to catch 10 of his 14 targets for 76 yards in the blowout loss to the Los […]

Calvin Ridley - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley could have a monster game in Week 7 against Miami. Ridley missed the team's most recent Week 5 contest against the Jets due to a personal matter, but is back practicing with the team ahead of a matchup with a Dolphins team that has surrendered the third-most fantasy points […]

Evan Engram Misses Practice With Calf Injury

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) was added to the Week 7 injury report on Thursday after missing practice with a calf injury. The Giants are already expected to be without running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and wide receivers Kenny Golladay (knee) and Kadarius Toney (ankle), so they can ill-afford to lose another […]

Cordarrelle Patterson - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson has been an unexpected fantasy star this season. Patterson has exceeded the 10-carry mark just once this season but has seen at least 11 touches every week, topping out at a whopping 21 in Week 5 against the Jets, en route to finishing as the RB10 in half-PPR formats […]

Latavius Murray, Sammy Watkins Out Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) both missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Both Murray and Watkins are highly questionable to suit up in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watkins also missed the Week 6 blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers, so he's […]

Dallas Goedert Misses Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, but he didn't practice while working off to the side. It sounds as if the Eagles are just easing Goedert back into the fold after he tested positive for the virus last week and was forced to miss the Thursday night […]

Mike Davis - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons running back Mike Davis has seen his workload even out with fellow halfback Cordarrelle Patterson over the last few weeks. Davis is still one of 10 active backs playing at least 65 percent of the snaps while averaging no less than 16 touches per contest heading into a matchup against a Dolphins team […]

T.J. Hockenson On Track To Play In Week 7

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. He should be good to play in Week 7 against the Los Angeles Rams, where he will remain a strong TE1 option despite going through a three-game stretch from Week 3-5 where he caught just eight total passes […]

Terrace Marshall Jr. Sitting Again Thursday

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Marshall suffered a concussion in the Week 6 loss to the Minnesota Vikings and remains in the league's concussion protocol. He'll need to make noticeable progress on Friday to have a shot at playing this Sunday against […]

Matt Ryan - Week 7 Outlook for Fantasy Football

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has been on a tear recently. Ryan has thrown for 868 yards and eight touchdowns while completing 69.2 percent of his passes over the last three weeks. The veteran signal-caller will get back two of his best projected weapons in Calvin Ridley and Russell Gage ahead of a Week 7 […]

Panthers Not In The Mix For Deshaun Watson

Despite the struggles of Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold in recent weeks, the Panthers are not in the mix to trade for Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, according to sources familiar with the situation. The Panthers have had recent talks with Houston, but the talks weren't substantial. "I haven't done any work on anyone else. […]

EPL Betting Picks for Matchweek 9: English Premier League

Our winning streak came to an end last weekend. Sunday's game did see us break even with West Ham leading the corners market and the second half being the highest scoring. But the damage was done Saturday, with Wolves and Aston Villa producing the game of the weekend. That was after a dull first half […]

Damien Williams Can't Be Cleared Until Saturday

Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams, who is on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, missed practice again on Thursday and can't be cleared until Saturday, at the earliest. Williams is not vaccinated and there is a mandatory 10-day waiting period. The 29-year-old tested positive for the virus and wasn't able to play in the Week 6 loss […]

A.J. Brown Missing Again Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (illness) was missing from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Receiver Chester Rogers (groin) also missed his second straight day. Brown was questionable for last weekend due to a bout of food poisoning, but he was active on Monday night and caught seven of his nine targets […]

Julio Jones Gets In Some Work Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday but worked out on his own during the individual period. Kicker Randy Bullock (shoulder) and running back Jeremy McNichols (ankle) also returned to practice after sitting out on Wednesday. Jones' return to practice is the most notable after he was ruled out late […]
