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. Jacobs got the Raiders on the board in the second quarter with a two-yard run to end a grueling 75-yard drive and had a big 15-yard run for a touchdown […]

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller came up big for the Silver and Black in Monday's dramatic 33-27 overtime win over the Baltimore Ravens, tallying 10 receptions for 105 yards on 19 targets with one touchdown.

Kenny Stills Signing With Saints Practice Squad

Free-agent wide receiver Kenny Stills is signing with the New Orleans Saints practice squad, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Stills played 10 games for the Texans last year and was barely a factor, setting career-lows in receptions (11), yards (144) and touchdown receptions (one). Still, he's just 29 and has been a […]

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 […]

Boston Red Sox infielder Bobby Dalbec is absent from Monday's lineup to take on the Seattle Mariners, according to MLB.com.

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. He's been getting on base at a good clip lately but is lacking in power, as he's slashing .344/.371/.375 with two steals, four RBI and six […]

Clelin Ferrell A Healthy Scratch On Monday Night

Former Las Vegas Raiders first-rounder Clelin Ferrell is a healthy inactive for Monday Night Football in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens. Ferrell was actually general manager Mike Mayock's first first-round selection (fourth overall) back in 2019. The 24-year-old edge rusher was held out of the preseason finale with an undisclosed injury, but this is […]

Chris Taylor Remains Out With Neck Injury

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Chris Taylor (neck) is not in the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network has reported that the New Orleans Saints worked out a group of wide receivers on Monday that includes veterans Kenny Stills and Marqise Lee. The Saints blew out the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, but the club seems to be doing their due diligence with No. 1 wide […]
