Derrick Rose Suffers Ankle Injury On Saturday
New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose (ankle) did not return to Saturday's preseason clash against the Wizards. The former MVP began experiencing pain in his left ankle and was observed speaking with trainers during the fourth quarter. He subsequently went back to the locker room and wasn't seen again for the contest's duration. Before the […]

Nelson Agholor - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor was expected to be a big-play deep threat for this offense. However, Agholor has only one touchdown for 165 yards through four games this season. It seems that Jakobi Meyers is the favorite option in the passing game right now. That means, both Agholor and Kendrick Bourne aren't […]

Jakobi Meyers - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has seen double digit targets during each of his last two games. Meyers appears to be the centerpiece of this offense and that's unlikely to change. He'll get a Houston Texans defense in Week 5 that has struggled to contain the passing game. The Patriots have aired it […]

Brandon Bolden - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden made a significant impact during the Week 4 loss. Bolden was basically unseen until last week, but finally broke through against Tampa Bay. He hauled in six receptions for 51 yards, but it's uncertain if he'll continue this success. The loss of James White (hip) should mean that […]

Damien Harris - Week 5 Outlook for Fantasy Football
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has 10 total rushing yards over the last two games. The absence of James White (hip) should mean that Harris gets more involved in the offense. Last week, Harris saw only four carries in the loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although, that should change in Week 5 […]

Mac Jones A Low-End Streaming Option
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has thrown for 270 yards or more in three of his first four games. He's in line for another positive game against the Houston Texans in Week 5. A defense that has struggled to contain the passing game this season. The Patriots have aired it out over the last […]

Tom Brady Will Revisit Negotiations In Offseason
Seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to revisit extension talks next offseason, according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports. The legendary 44-year-old has plenty left in the tank and appears to be very interested in remaining with Tampa Bay after his contract expires next year. He is […]

Cam Sims Expected To Miss Additional Time
Washington Football Team wide receiver Cam Sims (hamstring), who has already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to miss an additional one-to-two weeks, per Ben Standig of The Athletic. Essentially, he'll be assessed on a week-to-week basis. In addition to Sims, Washington is without rookie Dynami Brown (knee) while Curtis […]

Matthew Wright Added To Roster, Josh Lambo Likely Inactive Sunday
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Matthew Wright was elevated from the practice squad for the second consecutive week. The 25-year-old handled kicking duties last Sunday, forcing Josh Lambo to be inactive. A similar pattern could very likely be followed against the Titans this week. Wright and Lambo were reportedly in competition throughout recent practices and head coach […]

Rodney Smith Elevated From Practice Squad
Carolina Panthers running back Rodney Smith was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. His addition to the 53-man roster suggests that Christian McCaffrey (hamstring, doubtful) will be unable to play against the Eagles on Sunday afternoon. Assuming this is the case, Chuba Hubbard would serve as the Panthers' lead back and fall into the […]

Teddy Bridgewater Clears Protocol, Will Start On Sunday
Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater (concussion) has officially cleared protocol, as expected. He traveled with the team to Pittsburgh and will start at quarterback against the Steelers on Sunday. The veteran single-caller first suffered the injury last week, forcing Drew Lock to take over under center. Bridgewater's status did not look great at the start […]

TJ Hockenson Questionable, Shane Zylstra Elevated From Practice Squad
Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra was elevated to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. At the very least, the mover offers security in case TJ Hockenson (knee, questionable) is unable to suit up. Zylstra, a rookie, has not played a single snap this season. Detroit also has Darren Fells and […]

Matt Barnes Replaces Garrett Richards On Playoff Roster
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Matt Barnes replaced Garrett Richards (hamstring) on the playoff roster after Richards suffered a hamstring strain during his daily conditioning routine. Barnes threw an inning in Friday's Game 2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, allowing a hit and two walks and striking out one batter. Manager Alex Cora bemoaned […]

J.D. Martinez Homers In Triumphant Return
Boston Red Sox designated hitter J.D. Martinez (ankle) may have gone on the injured list if this was the regular season, but instead he returned to the lineup for Friday's Game 2 against the Tampa Bay Rays and went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and a run scored in the 14-6 […]

Ross Dwelley On Track For Starting Job
San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley should slot into a starting role after George Kittle (calf) was placed on injured reserve. The 26-year-old has filled a depth role in the 49ers' offense ever since 2018 and now finds himself in line for an increased workload. San Francisco also has Charlie Woerner and Tanner Hudson […]

Alex Verdugo Homers, Has Three Hits In Comeback
Boston Red Sox outfielder Alex Verdugo slotted in fifth in the batting order in Friday's Game 2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays, and he played a key part in the comeback win, going 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored. Verdugo has a 6-for-13 line with five RBI through his […]

Xander Bogaerts Homers In Three-Hit Game
Boston Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts was a major contributor to Boston's comeback in a 14-6 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays Friday as he went 3-for-5 with a home run, two RBI, and two runs scored. Bogaerts now has six hits, including two homers, and two walks in his first three games and 13 […]

Rafael Devers Homers Friday In Game 2
Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers (forearm) has been the subject of much speculation regarding his forearm in the past few days, but on Friday he showed just how much he's still capable of, going 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, two walks, and two runs scored. Devers finished the season with three homers […]

Derek Carrier Lands On Injured Reserve
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Derek Carrier (pectoral) has been placed on injured reserve. He suffered the injury against the Chargers on Monday night and will miss at least three games as a result. Through three games, the 31-year-old had caught just two passes for 13 yards while serving in a depth role behind Darren […]

Enrique Hernandez Homers In Five-Hit Game
Boston Red Sox utility man Enrique Hernandez exploded with a five-hit game in Friday's Game 2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays. Hernandez went 5-for-6 with a home run, three doubles, three RBI, and three runs scored. It was a major breakout game for Hernandez, who had only eight extra-base hits in 89 at-bats in […]

Trent Brown Placed On Injured Reserve
New England Patriots offensive tackle Trent Brown (right calf) has been placed on injured reserve, according to Field Yates of ESPN. He will miss at least three games as injuries continue to plague the New England O-line. The 28-year-old played seven snaps against the Dolphins in Week 1 and has been injured ever since. Brown […]

Tanner Houck Sparkles In Relief Win
Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Tanner Houck came on in relief of Chris Sale in the second inning Friday and got Boston back on track against the Tampa Bay Rays, throwing five innings and allowing one run on two hits and no walks with five strikeouts. He took the win in the 14-6 victory. This […]

Chris Sale Knocked Out After One Inning Friday
Boston Red Sox starting pitcher Chris Sale continued his recent string of rough outings Friday, allowing five runs on four hits and a walk in just one inning of work against the Tampa Bay Rays. The big blow was a grand slam off the bat of part-time player Jordan Luplow. Sale struck out two batters. […]

Kenny Stills Joins Saints' 53-Man Roster
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Kenny Stills signed to the team's active roster on Saturday. The 29-year-old will offer depth and a strong veteran presence amidst a receiving core that lacks an alpha player. After catching one pass for 17 yards in Week 3, Stills was unable to haul in his lone target against the […]

Justin Fields Expected To Run More On Sunday
Chicago Bears rookie quarterback Justin Fields is expected to run more following running back David Montgomery's (knee) placement on injured reserve, according to Chris Emma of Audacy. This is a promising progression for the mobile quarterback out of Ohio State, who averaged just three rushes and 10.5 yards on the ground through his first two […]

Khalil Herbert 'Will Be More Involved' On Sunday
Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert "will be more involved than we expect" against the Raiders on Sunday, according to Chris Emma of Audacy. Herbert's increased workload comes after David Montgomery (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve. While Damien Williams will still serve as Chicago's lead back, it sounds like Herbert, of whom "the […]

Damien Williams Will Serve As Lead Back On Sunday
Chicago Bears running back Damien Williams will serve as the team's No. 1 running back against the Raiders on Sunday afternoon. This increase in workload comes after David Montgomery (knee) was placed on injured reserve. The expectation is that Williams, who joined the Bears this offseason after six seasons split between Miami and Kansas City, […]
