Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III had two receptions on five targets for 46 yards in Monday's wild 33-27 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

IDP Leagues - Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 2

If you're like me, every year you look down at your final fantasy scores for Week 1 and find yourself thinking, “That was the strangest beginning to an NFL season ever.” The statement feels true when you say it, too. You really can’t recall a time when a coach purposefully sat a stud like Brandon […]

Bryan Edwards Has Surprise Late-Game Impact

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Bryan Edwards had a surprising impact in Monday's come-from-behind 33-27 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The third-round pick from the 2020 draft tallied four receptions for 81 yards and came less than a yard short of scoring the winning touchdown in OT. With Baltimore's defense paying extra attention to […]

Derek Carr Finds His Groove In Monday's OT Victory

Las Vegas Raiders starting quarterback Derek Carr completed 34 of 56 passes for 435 yards with two touchdowns and one interception in Monday's dramatic 33-27 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens.

Josh Jacobs Has Big Night For Raiders

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs tallied 10 carries for 34 yards with two touchdowns in Monday's 33-27 overtime victory over the Baltimore Ravens.

David Peralta Getting A Rest Monday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder David Peralta will take a seat on Monday against Clayton Kershaw and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Peralta owns just a .691 OPS off of lefties this season, so it wouldn't be a good matchup. On the year, he's slashing .263/.327/.414 with eight home runs and two stolen bases over 133 games. He's […]

Ravens Guard Tyre Phillips Doubtful To Return

Baltimore Ravens left guard Tyre Phillips (knee) is doubtful to return to Monday's Week 1 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. Phillips left the field on a cart, so this could be a serious injury for a Ravens offense that has been decimated by injury all year. While not Baltimore's most important offensive lineman, his […]

Pavin Smith Out Of Monday's Lineup

Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Pavin Smith is sitting for the second consecutive game Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Smith hasn't put up great numbers this season, posting a .267/.323/.404 slash line with 10 HRs in 128 games. He can be left on the wire in most leagues but is a possible streaming option when […]

San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Paddack (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list with elbow inflammation on Monday, according to A.J. Cassavell of MLB.com.

Ke'Bryan Hayes Extends On-Base Streak Sunday

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes extended his on-base streak to eight games on Sunday, as he finished 1-for-4 at the plate in a 6-2 loss to the Nationals.
