Keenan Allen Is A Limited Participant On Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (ankle) was a limited participant for Thursday's practice. The veteran was still able to get in some practice this afternoon and managers shouldn't be overly concerned at the moment with the Chargers playing on Monday. Allen has been putting up WR1 numbers this season and has 21 receptions […]

Yu Darvish Lands On The 10-Day Injured List

San Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a left hip impingement.

Aaron Jones Has Been Limited This Week

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (ankle) has put in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week, while backup A.J. Dillon (back) popped up on the injury report as a limited practice participant on Thursday. There's nothing to suggest that either player is in danger of missing a Week 4 tilt against the […]

George Kittle Misses Second Straight Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (calf) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. The star tight end has been dealing with a calf injury and Friday's practice status should bring more clarity on if the veteran will suit up in Week 4 versus the Seattle Seahawks. If Kittle were to be […]

Pablo Lopez Could Start Sunday Vs. The Phillies

Miami Marlins pitcher Pablo Lopez (shoulder) could start Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. According to manager Don Mattingly, the Marlins are looking to start Lopez on Sunday. He most likely was on a pitch count for the season finale after a successful two-inning rehab appearance last Thursday. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since mid-July […]

Matthew Wright Kicking For Jaguars Thursday Night

The Jacksonville Jaguars elevated kicker Matthew Wright from the practice squad to the active roster on Thursday, and he will kick for the team against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 4. Josh Lambo, who has missed all three of his kicks this season, was ruled out on Thursday night due to personal reasons. Based on […]

Melvin Gordon III Is A Limited Participant On Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (ribs, leg) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It's encouraging news that Gordon participated in practice, and it appears that he should be good to go in Week 4 versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Giants Designate Jose Quintana For Assignment

The San Francisco Giants designated pitcher Jose Quintana for assignment on Thursday. The move was made to help clear space for the return of pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) and outfielder Darin Ruf (oblique) from the injured list.

Tyler Lockett Sits Out Practice On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder AJ Pollock is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Vince Velasquez and the San Diego Padres.

Carlos Hyde Inactive For Week 4

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Carlos Hyde will be inactive for Week 4 versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran was expected to play a decent sized role behind James Robinson this season and has picked up 95 yards on 19 carries this season. With Hyde inactive, Dare Ogunbowale will backup Robinson. Robinson should be considered a […]

Salvador Perez Playing Designated Hitter On Thursday

Kansas City Royals catcher Salvador Perez (ankle) is in his usual No. 3 spot in the lineup for Thursday's game against Shane Bieber and the Cleveland Indians. He's playing designated hitter in the game. Perez sprained his ankle after tripping on the steps in the team's dugout during Wednesday's game. He was removed from the […]

The San Francisco Giants activated outfielder/first baseman Darin Ruf (oblique) and starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) from the injured list on Thursday.

Daniel Lynch Placed On 10-Day Injured List

The Kansas City Royals placed starting pitcher Daniel Lynch (hand) on the 10-day injured list on Thursday with a right hand contusion. Lynch suffered the injury during his start against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday. He was hit in the hand by a comebacker off the bat of Indians catcher Austin Hedges. Lynch is done […]

Nico Hoerner Done For The Year

Chicago Cubs infielder Nico Hoerner has decided to end his season prematurely, according to Jordan Bastian of MLB.com.

Luke Voit Placed On Injured List

The New York Yankees have placed first baseman Luke Voit (knee) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to the team. Voit experienced left knee inflammation during Wednesday's game and was taken out early as a precaution. He was expected to avoid an IL stint, which clearly isn't the case. Voit has had a disappointing […]

Amed Rosario Taking A Seat Thursday

Cleveland Indians shortstop Amed Rosario is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Royals, according to MLB.com.

Eric Haase Getting A Rest Thursday

Detroit Tigers catcher/outfielder Eric Haase is absent from Thursday's lineup for the matchup against the Minnesota Twins, according to MLB.com. Haase has been one of the better power-hitting catchers this season with 22 HRs and a .230/.285/.463 slash line over 95 games. He's been in a rut recently, though, posting a .604 OPS in September. […]

Cowboys Defense Working Their Way To Relevance

The Dallas Cowboys defense was rated poorly before the season, but they've performed well through the first three weeks and may be a top-15 fantasy option in Week 4. The Cowboys defense has finished as an overall top-12 defense (11, 12, 5) in every game this season, and has recorded six interceptions on the season. […]

Greg Zuerlein A Starting Option In Week 4

Dallas Cowboys kicker Greg Zuerlein makes for a decent fantasy option in Week 4. The Cowboys offense has shown elite upside through the first three weeks of the season and should give Zuerlein plenty of chances to kick. Through three weeks, he's finished as a top-10 fantasy kicker twice, making five field goals and nine […]

Joey Gallo Absent From Thursday's Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo (arm) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Gallo's having […]

Blake Jarwin Falling Behind Quickly

Dallas Cowboys tight end Blake Jarwin watched as Dalton Schultz had a huge Week 3 to end the week as the overall TE1. Meanwhile, Jarwin caught two passes for 14 yards, only seeing those two targets. The good news is that Jarwin and Schultz actually ended up running the exact same number of passing routes, […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Out Of Thursday's Lineup

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (hand) is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the New York Yankees. According to Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet, he is still experiencing hand soreness and is day-to-day. Gurriel Jr. previously missed three games recently after injuring his hand during a play in the outfield. He's […]

Dalton Schultz Looks To Keep The Momentum Going

Dallas Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz had an enormous game in Week 3, ending up as the overall fantasy TE1. He caught six passes on seven targets, gaining 80 yards and scoring two touchdowns. After the first two weeks, this looked like an offense that would not be able to support a fantasy starter at […]

Cedrick Wilson Not A Great Option Despite A Great Offense

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cedrick Wilson caught the only touchdown by a Cowboys wide receiver in Week 3, but he remains off the fantasy radar in most formats anyway. Wilson split time with Noah Brown, who is almost exclusively a blocking wide receiver/tight end hybrid. Wilson has been filling in while Michael Gallup (calf) recovers, […]
