Westbrook-Ikhine saw […]

Cody Zeller Sustains Broken Nose, Out Indefinitely

Portland Trail Blazers center Cody Zeller's (nose) tenure with his new team got off to an inauspicious start, as he sustained a broken nose during a preseason loss to the Warriors. Brought aboard to backup Jusuf Nurkic at the five, Zeller will now undergo surgery Friday to repair the issue, putting him on the shelf […]

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Both Limited Wednesday

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (groin) and Jamaal Williams (hip) were both limited in Wednesday's practice. Swift continues to be limited in practices due to a groin injury that has bothered him early in the season, but he continues to be a focal point of Detroit's offense. Swift played 73.2 percent of the offensive […]

T.J. Hockenson Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson (knee) missed practice with a knee injury on Wednesday.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (calf) won't practice on Wednesday, but he is feeling better and hasn't been ruled out for Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Trae Young Ruled Out For Wednesday’s Game

Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young (quad) has been deemed unavailable to play in Wednesday's preseason contest against Cleveland. Young is battling a right quad contusion, with the Hawks having little reason to thrust their star point guard into action without him at 100 percent this early in the year. Delon Wright will draw the […]

Amari Cooper Misses Practice Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday. Cooper had a touchdown in the Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers, but he played just 47.5 percent of the offensive snaps behind both CeeDee Lamb and Cedrick Wilson, and he saw only three targets in the passing game. The 27-year-old will attempt […]

Detroit Pistons power forward/center Trey Lyles is joining his fourth franchise ahead of his seventh NBA season. Now with the Pistons, Lyles, at 6-foot-9, could see additional minutes in the frontcourt while manning the center position, per head coach Dwane Casey.

Ezekiel Elliott Working Through Knee Issue

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) is dealing with some knee pain and didn't practice on Wednesday, but he plans to return to practice on Thursday and play through the issue in Week 5 against the division-rival New York Giants.

Devin Booker Remains Days Away From Return

Phoenix Suns point/shooting guard Devin Booker has been ruled out for Wednesday's preseason contest against the Lakers, and a return to game action remains days away with him being in the league's COVID-19 protols. Booker has resumed warming up before games, so his long-term status should be in little doubt. Landry Shamet started Phoenix's preseason opener […]

Chris Carson To Be Game-Time Decision Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (neck) didn't practice again on Wednesday, and the Seahawks aren't expected to decide his status until right before the Thursday night game against the Los Angeles Rams. On a short week coming off a game where Carson wasn't very effective, it wouldn't be a huge surprise to see the […]

Bears Defense Has Plenty To Prove In Week 5

The Chicago Bears defense will be out to prove that they are for real this season heading into their Week 5 matchup against the Raiders. The Bears currently is tied for the league-lead in the NFL with 14 sacks and has shown a knack for turnovers. Now they will face a Raiders offensive line that […]

Jimmy Graham Not A Week 5 Option

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham is not on the fantasy radar despite a favorable matchup Week 5 against the Raiders. Las Vegas currently is allowing the 10th most fantasy points to opposing tight ends but the veteran tight end has been non-existent. His snap-count is at a career-low and second-year player Cole Kmet is […]

Cole Kmet Gets Favorable Tilt Against Raiders

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will have a favorable matchup in Week 5 against the Raiders. It has been an extremely disappointing start for the former second-round pick and he has only eight catches for 59 yards through the first four games. But opportunity knocks this weekend against a Raiders defense that is allowing […]

Can Darnell Mooney Deliver Encore?

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney will try and build off his huge Week 4 performance heading into this weekend's matchup against the Raiders. Mooney delivered five catches for 125 yards in the team's 24-14 win over the Lions and connected deep with rookie quarterback Justin Fields multiple times for huge gains. The Bears have […]

Can Allen Robinson II Step Up?

Curtis Samuel Sits Out Practice

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel (groin) was held out of practice on Wednesday. This is likely just a rest day as Samuel recently returned to action following a lengthy stint on the injured reserve list. It is something to monitor as the week progresses, but a missed practice on Wednesday likely doesn't put […]

Logan Thomas Placed On Injured Reserve

Washington Football Team tight end Logan Thomas (hamstring) has been placed on the injured reserve list and will miss a minimum of four weeks. Ricky Seals-Jones will see an expanded role in his absence, but he is an unreliable fantasy option moving forward. Washington signed tight end Jace Sternberger to their active roster, so this […]

Antonio Gibson Misses Practice Wednesday

Washington Football Team running back Antonio Gibson (shin) was held out of practice on Wednesday. Gibson has been dealing with this injury since last week, so it doesn't seem to be something that will prevent him from playing. Although a DNP isn't ideal, his workload on Thursday and Friday will likely determine his status for […]

Christian McCaffrey Returns To Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (hamstring) returned to the practice field on Wednesday, his first on-field work since straining his hamstring against the Houston Texans on Sept. 23 in Week 3. It's good news, but the real indicator of McCaffrey's status for Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles will come on Thursday. McCaffrey entered […]

Patrick Reed Is A Risky Choice At TPC Summerlin

Patrick Reed's talent and winning upside is undeniable, but we're not convinced that this is the best week to deploy him. The last time we saw Reed was at the Tour Championship, where he lost 1.4 strokes off the tee and 5.2 strokes on approach. While the nine-time PGA Tour winner has had more than […]

Hank Lebioda In A Perfect Buy-Low Spot At Shriners

Hank Lebioda was a popular player this summer, as he recorded three consecutive top-eight finishes at the Travelers Championship, Rocket Mortgage Classic, and John Deere Classic. Since then, Lebioda has cooled considerably and missed three cuts in a row. While the results show a player that is lost, a deeper investigation actually proves that the […]

Will Zalatoris Searching For Breakthrough Victory In Las Vegas

Will Zalatoris' talent is undeniable, and it's hard to argue that he is in store for a very long and successful career on the PGA Tour. While yet to break through with his first career PGA Tour victory, the Wake Forest product is indubitably percolating. Zalatoris is coming off a 14th-place finish at the Sanderson […]
