Can Melvin Gordon III Be Trusted In Week 1?

Ever since the Denver Broncos drafted running back Javonte Williams in the second round this year, Melvin Gordon III's fantasy stock has fallen. Most people expect Williams to eventually take over this backfield by season's end, and for good reason. With that said, Gordon isn't going anywhere anytime soon as long as he's healthy. The […]

Teddy Bridgewater Looking To Make Strong Impression In Debut

Denver Broncos quarterback Teddy Bridgewater will be looking to put his best foot forward in his debut with the team in Week 1 against the New York Giants after he won the QB competition with Drew Lock in training camp and the preseason. Bridgewater has a lot of intriguing weapons in which to work with, […]

Gerrit Cole Could Return On Tuesday

New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (hamstring) could return to the starting rotation on Tuesday, manager Aaron Boone told the press on Friday. The 31-year-old ace exited last week's 5-1 loss to the Toronto Blue Jays with left hamstring tightness but has since resumed some baseball activities. Cole has pitched to a 14-7 record […]

Will Josh Jacobs Have Week 1 Impact?

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs told the media Friday he feels good ahead of Monday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. Jacobs has remained limited in practices as he rebounds from a toe injury and is still listed as "questionable" although he seems ready to take the field against Baltimore. Of course, the big […]

Deshaun Watson Officially Ruled Out

The Houston Texans officially ruled quarterback Deshaun Watson out for the Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Watson was listed on the injury report as "not injury related." The 25-year-old is likely to be a healthy scratch for the foreseeable future as the legal process plays out surrounding his 22 lawsuits for alleged sexual […]

Kenny Golladay Good To Go In Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Kenny Golladay will be active on Sunday as he was not listed on the final injury report for their Week 1 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Golladay will be stepping into the No. 1 receiver role for quarterback Daniel Jones, but there will be a lot of competition for targets. […]

Saquon Barkley Questionable Against The Broncos

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) is questionable for the regular-season opener against the Denver Broncos. He had no setbacks, and what the Giants have seen in practice this week from the star RB has been "promising." The 24-year-old is expected to be limited in his first game back since tearing his ACL […]

Evan Engram Out Week 1

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (calf) will be held out of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos. Engram has missed practice time leading up to the season opener, so it is not surprising he will be inactive on Sunday. Kyle Rudolph could be the biggest beneficiary of Engram's absence, as he can potentially […]

Austin Ekeler Back At Practice

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (hamstring) was back at practice on Friday after sitting out on Wednesday and Thursday. This is a good sign for his availability in the season opener against the Washington Football Team, as the missed practice time could have been mainly precautionary. Ekeler will remain an RB1 option even […]

Michael Badgley Signs With Titans Practice Squad

The Tennessee Titans signed free agent kicker Michael Badgley to their practice squad on Friday. The Los Angeles Chargers cut kicker Badgley in favor of kicker Tristan Vizcaino last week. Badgley converted 24 of his 33 field-goal attempts last season, with all nine of his misses coming from beyond 40 yards. He also converted 36 […]

Gabriel Davis Could See Increased Action

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Gabriel Davis is currently projected to be the No. 4 option at wideout. That being said, there isn't a ton of appeal for Davis in most 12-team standard leagues. However, he could quickly become someone worth stashing. Veteran wideout Emmanuel Sanders (foot) is listed as questionable for Week 1 against the […]

Michael Gallup Out Up To Five Weeks

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (calf) will be sidelined for three to five weeks after he was injured in the season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night.

Odell Beckham Jr. Listed As Questionable Against Chiefs

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 1 game against the Kansas City Chiefs after being limited in practice on Friday, and head coach Kevin Stefanski would not expand much on Beckham's status for the season opener. Stefanski has, however, indicated that OBJ has reached the necessary […]

Anthony Barr, Christian Darrisaw Ruled Out

Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr (knee) and offensive lineman Christian Darrisaw (groin) have been ruled out for the Week 1 season-opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Barr has been bothered by a knee injury since early last month, and he played in just two games last year due to a torn pectoral muscle. The 29-year-old made […]

Xavier Rhodes Ruled Out For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Xavier Rhodes (calf) did not practice on Friday and has been ruled out for Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Colts defensive unit has potential to be a weekly starting option for fantasy managers, but their matchup out of the gate is a tough one. Seattle's offense took a nosedive in […]

Keelan Cole Likely To Be A Game-Time Call

New York Jets wide receiver Keelan Cole (knee) will likely be a game-time decision for Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Rookie quarterback Zach Wilson will also be without veteran Jamison Crowder for his first NFL start this weekend. Corey Davis will be the team's No. 1 […]

Dominic Leone Named Opener On Friday

San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Dominic Leone has been named the opener for Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. It sounds like the Giants are going bullpen game here, which could honestly work versus this below average lineup. Leone has been excellent, posting a 1.55 ERA and 38/20 K/BB ratio over 40 2/3 innings this […]

Carson Wentz Will Start Against Seahawks

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that quarterback Carson Wentz (foot) will start on Sunday in the Week 1 season opener against the Seattle Seahawks. Wentz has been practicing in full this week, so it shouldn't be a huge surprise that he will start in his first game in a Colts uniform to kick […]

Stephen Vogt To Injured List, William Contreras Recalled

Atlanta Braves catcher Stephen Vogt (hip) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. He put together a two-homer game on Thursday. Sadly, he exited in the middle of the game due to a hip issue. The team is going to play it safe with their veteran catcher. He'll be placed on the injured list, […]

Alex Wood Played Catch On Thursday

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Alex Wood recently played catch while he's working his way back from COVID-19. He tested positive for coronavirus in late August, but is out of quarantine. Wood has missed more than two weeks of action, but it sounds like he'll pitch again this season. He'll need some time to build […]

Trevor Bauer Likely Done For The Season

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Trevor Bauer is expected to remain on administrative leave through the conclusion of the postseason. No one should be shocked by this news considering the circumstances. Bauer has been on leave since early July while his legal process plays out. It doesn't sound like he'll take the mound again in […]

Shane McClanahan Hopeful To Only Miss One Start

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Shane McClanahan (back) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. The lefty-hander is dealing with back stiffness after battling through Wednesday's outing. It sounds like this is a precautionary move and the organization is hopeful that McClanahan will only miss one start. Chris Archer will likely move into the […]

Erick Fedde Yields Three Homers To Atlanta

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Erick Fedde was lucky to escape with a no-decision against the Atlanta Braves Thursday, though the team still lost 7-6 in extra innings. Fedde allowed three home runs in six innings, allowing four runs on five hits and no walks while striking out seven batters. Fedde now has a 5.32 ERA […]

Luis Garcia Shows Off Extra-Base Power

Washington Nationals infielder Luis Garcia flashed some extra-base power in a strong game Thursday, going 2-for-5 with a home run, a double, and two runs scored against the Atlanta Braves. Garcia is starting to put it together at the plate, slashing .321/.321/.643 over his past seven games, though his plate discipline could stand to improve […]
