Ian Thomas Remains A Risky Streamer

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas gets a favorable matchup in Week 5 against the Eagles. Philadelphia's defense has surrendered the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends so far, and Thomas appears to be the early beneficiary of Dan Arnold's playing time. Still, the 25-year-old has yet to exceed 17 yards in […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo And Others Sitting Out Friday

Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) will not play in the team's preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

Terrace Marshall Jr. Tough To Trust In Week 5

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. could have a tough path to fantasy relevance against the Eagles in Week 5. Marshall has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards in a game and is coming off of a two-yard effort in a Week 4 loss to Dallas. The rookie has the skills to succeed […]

Despite not having his best stuff against […]

Las Vegas Raiders running back Kenyan Drake will look to be a role player in Week 5 against the Chicago Bears, but it isn't clear how much work he will get.

What Will Josh Jacobs' Impact Be In Week 5?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs looks to get his season back on track as his team hosts the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Marina Rodriguez Hoping For Third Straight Win

Set to fight in a main event after back-to-back wins, Marina Rodriguez (14-1-2) will face Mackenzie Dern in Saturday night's main event.

Alcides Escobar Re-Signs With Nationals

Washington Nationals shortstop Alcides Escobar re-signed with the club, agreeing to a one-year deal. Escobar appeared in the majors for the first time since 2018 this past season, slashing .288/.340/.404 in 319 at-bats with four homers and three steals. Escobar was lauded for his leadership abilities, particularly providing an example for young infielders Carter Kieboom […]

Jared Gooden Hoping To Roll To Another Victory

It was a rough start for Jared Gooden (18-6) in the UFC, as he dropped his first two bouts. Since then, he has rebounded to score a nice first-round knockout back in July, and he's looking for more victories just like that. A dangerous finisher regardless of where the bout goes, 15 of his 18 […]

Kyle Schwarber Reaches Base Twice, Swipes A Bag

Boston Red Sox outfielder Kyle Schwarber swiped a base in Thursday's series-opening game against the Tampa Bay Rays, and if you bet on that as the offensive highlight for Boston heading into the game, you're probably much richer than you started.

Derek Carr Should Have Better Performance In Week 5

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Derek Carr is looking to have a much better day at the office as his team squares off against the Chicago Bears in Week 5.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Nick Pivetta threw 4 2/3 innings in relief in Game 1, coming on to start the third inning after Eduardo Rodriguez and Garrett Richards combined for the first six outs.

David Njoku Questionable For Week 5

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is questionable for Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers after getting in a limited practice on Friday.

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez started Thursday's Game 1 against the Tampa Bay Rays and didn't last long, recording five outs and giving up two runs on two hits and two walks with one strikeout.

Justin Jackson Doubtful To Face The Browns

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (groin) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns after missing practice on Thursday and Friday.
