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

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 […]

Josh Bell Drives In Two Runs Thursday

Washington Nationals first baseman Josh Bell drove in two more runs Thursday, going 1-for-5 with a first-inning double.

He initially looked on track to play ahead of Week 1, […]

Alcides Escobar Swipes A Bag Against Atlanta

Washington Nationals shortstop Alcides Escobar stole his second base of the year Thursday against the Atlanta Braves. He also went 1-for-5 at the plate. Escobar doesn't add much offensively, but he's had a good last seven games, slashing .276/.333/.517 over that stretch. The best thing going for him is his spot in the lineup, batting […]

Over his last 30 games, Thomas is slashing .313/.402/.530 with 26 runs scored. He needs to be rostered for as long as he's hot, and he'll continue to be an excellent […]

Dre Kirkpatrick Working Out For Houston

Free-agent cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is working out for the Houston Texans on Friday, according to a source. The former Arizona Cardinals and Cincinnati Bengals starter has also visited with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots in the offseason. The Texans could use more cornerback depth after recently trading Bradley Roby. […]

Saquon Barkley Looks “Promising” Ahead Of Week 1

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (knee) has looked promising during the past couple of days ahead of Week 1 against the Denver Broncos, according to head coach Joe Judge. Barkley is on track to play on Sunday, and it would "take a setback" for him to be held out of the lineup. The […]

Taylor Decker Looks Set To Miss Week 1

Detroit Lions left tackle Taylor Decker (finger) looks set to miss the regular season opener on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers after suffering a finger injury that kept him out of practice on Thursday.

The 23-year-old has posted a 3.54 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 28/8 K/BB […]

Nick Boyle Placed On Short-Term IR

Baltimore Ravens tight end Nick Boyle (knee) will go on short-term injured reserve, according to head coach John Harbaugh. This means Boyle will be held out of action for a minimum of three weeks and can return in Week 4 against the Denver Broncos. Boyle is more of a blocking tight end, so the Baltimore […]

Freddie Freeman Hits Clutch Homer On Thursday

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman came alive with the bat during the second half of the season. The 31-year-old is slashing .292/.388/.504 with 105 runs scored, 29 home runs, 74 RBI this season. On Thursday, Freeman went 2-for-5 with a solo home run that tied the game in the eighth inning. The Braves were […]
