Alshon Jeffery, Malik Jackson Ruled Out For Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) and defensive tackle Malik Jackson (quadriceps) have been ruled out for Thursday night against the Giants. While Jeffery has been limited in practice the last couple of weeks, he has yet to make his 2020 debut after offseason surgery. The oft-injured 30-year-old will eventually be a starter for […]

Bills Release Quinton Spain

The Buffalo Bills released offensive guard Quinton Spain on Wednesday. It comes after Spain signed a three-year, $15 million deal with the Bills in March, which included a $1.5 million signing bonus, a $1.4 million roster bonus and a $1.6 million guaranteed base salary.

Mookie Betts Leads Dodgers To Game 1 Win

Tony Gonsolin To Start Game 2 Against Rays

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-handed pitcher Tony Gonsolin will start Game 2 of the World Series against the Rays on Wednesday. Gonsolin faced 11 batters and tossed 41 pitches in Game 7 of the National League Championship Series against Atlanta on Sunday, so he may only be able to go a couple of innings. Manager […]

Lamar Jackson's Passing Numbers Are Down

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson's passing numbers are down across the board through six weeks this season, from completion rate to passing yards and touchdowns, but he says it has nothing to do with his mechanics. Jackson's sidearm delivery has been scrutinized over the last three seasons, but quarterbacks coach James Urban isn't worried about […]

Sam Darnold To Be Limited On Wednesday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will be limited in practice on Wednesday. It's a positive step for Darnold, who has missed the last two games with a sprained shoulder. Even if the 23-year-old gets cleared to return to the field this Sunday, he'll be hard to trust as a low-end QB2 in superflex […]

Alshon Jeffery Unlikely To Debut On Thursday Night

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said it would be hard to get wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) ready on a short week against the Giants on Thursday night. Jeffery has been limited so far in practice this week, but the Eagles remain cautious with him since he has yet to play in 2020 while […]

Eagles Expect DeSean Jackson, Lane Johnson Back Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that he anticipates both wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) and offensive tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) playing on Thursday night against the Giants. Neither Jackson nor Johnson were on the team's final injury report for Thursday night. Jackson has missed the last three games and has been limited in […]

Jeremy McNichols (RB, TEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: As a 2017 fifth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Boise State, it was a very slow start to the professional career of running back Jeremy McNichols, taking just two carries for four yards with no targets in the passing game […]

Joey Slye Placed On COVID-19 List

The Carolina Panthers placed kicker Joey Slye and offensive lineman Trent Scott on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. They are going on the list not because of a positive COVID-19 test, but because of close contact, according to a source. Slye has made a league-leading 16 field goals on 18 tries this year, so this […]

Saints Mum On Michael Thomas' Week 7 Status

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said the team hasn't decided on whether wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) will play in Week 7 against the Panthers. "We'll see. I think he's feeling better. We really don't get into injuries or predictions, so you guys will be the first to know," Payton said. It was […]

Jared Cannonier Can Earn A Title Shot With A Win

Jared Cannonier (13-4) has competed at heavyweight and light heavyweight and has a new home in the middleweight division. Since moving to middleweight in the UFC, Cannonier is 3-0 with three knockout victories. Cannonier has scored finishes in 11 of his 13 career victories. The three losses he has sustained in the UFC came at […]

Royce Freeman (RB, DEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 2% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Melvin Gordon is currently dealing with strep-throat (could be worse) and potential discipline from his recent DUI arrest, and while he could return this week, that remains up in the air, which leaves a window of opportunity open for Royce Freeman to build […]

Robert Whittaker Looks To Secure A Big Win

Robert Whittaker (21-5) has a huge opportunity in Saturday's co-main event to interject himself back into the title picture if he can knock off the surging Jared Cannonier. Whittaker has shown the ability to go to the limit or finish his opponents, with 14 of his 21 career wins coming by finish. The Reaper has […]

Walt Harris Would Love A Big Win On Saturday's Main Card

Walt Harris (13-8) is a veteran of the UFC since 2014 and needs a big win on Saturday, as a victory could propel him to just outside the top five of the heavyweight division. The Big Ticket cashes in his victories by way of knockout, with all 13 of his career wins coming by the […]

Alexander Volkov Needs A Win To Stay Atop Heavyweight Division

Alexander Volkov (31-8) has lost two of his last three fights, with those two bouts coming against Derrick Lewis and Curtis Blaydes. It's important for Volkov to score a big win here if he wants to remain in the top echelon of heavyweights. Volkov has finished the large majority of his wins, scoring finishes in […]

Disaster Recovery - Week 6's Studs Turned Duds

Week 6 was a pretty low scoring fantasy week for the top players in the league. If not for two Monday night heavy-hitters, only three running backs would have reached 18 points in PPR this week. Even still, just five got there. (In Week 5, 14 players reached that mark. In Week 4, 16 players.) […]

Anthony Firkser (TE, TEN) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Jonnu Smith has been the man at tight end for the top-tier Tennessee Titans squad so far this season, with Anthony Firkser serving as second-fiddle during Smith's breakout season. However, with Smith being held out of the Titans' last contest against the […]

Zach Pascal (WR, IND) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 6% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Pascal has had an interesting season so far. He has had four games with four or fewer targets, but he has also had a two with seven or more. One of those better performances was last week when he caught four of seven […]

T.J. Yeldon (RB, BUF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 1% of Leagues ANALYSIS: I won't sugarcoat it: from a surface-level view, the prognosis on T.J. Yeldon looks rather grim. Former Alabama back had very little to show for his first year with the Buffalo Bills in 2019 and has had just a single week to […]

JaMycal Hasty (RB, SF) - Week 7 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 0% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Raheem Mostert is probably heading to the IR due to a high-ankle sprain. This left the 49ers backfield in need of a "hasty" replacement (couldn't resist mate), in the form of JaMycal Hasty, a rookie running back out of Baylor. Hasty first saw […]

Dodgers Expected To Go With Bullpen In Game 2

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts wasn't willing to divulge who would start Game 2 of the World Series against the Rays on Wednesday. "It's going to be a bullpen, whatever, kind of game, using various arms," Roberts said. "Who starts that game, I just don't know yet." They'll be opposed by 2018 American League […]

Mark Ingram II Expected Back Against Pittsburgh

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram II's (ankle) MRI exam showed a mid- to high-ankle sprain that isn't considered serious, according to a source. With the Ravens on bye this week, head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that Ingram will likely be back on Nov. 1 for the Week 8 game against the Steelers. […]

Russell Henley Looks To Keep Momentum Going

It has been five straight top-27 finishes for Russell Henley, who will look to keep the positive momentum rolling at the ZOZO Championship. Henley enters the week off of a third-place result at Shadow Creek, and there are reasons to believe he might be in line for another solid performance in California. The American is […]

Matthew Fitzpatrick Set To Make Second Straight Start

Matthew Fitzpatrick enters this week's ZOZO Championship coming off a solid T12 finish. He was solid with his approach shots, ranking 10th in the field in greens in regulation percentage. His good iron play is also evidenced by him ranking 7th in the field last week approaching the green. Sherwood sets up nicely for good […]

Paul Casey Searching For Putting Stroke

Paul Casey will make his third consecutive start at ZOZO this week. Since finishing T17 at the U.S. Open, Casey has hit a bit of a rut, missing the cut at Shriners and finishing T69 last week at the CJ Cup. His putting has been the most concerning part of his game, ranking 151st in […]

Tommy Fleetwood Still Searching For Form

Tommy Fleetwood has continued to struggle into the 2021 season. He had an abbreviated 2020 season and is still searching for form. In two starts this season, he has missed the cut at the U.S. Open and finished T59 at last week's CJ Cup. His putting has been average, and that has actually been the […]

Dynasty Trade Targets for Rebuilding Teams

Maybe 2020 isn't going the way you planned. That could go for a lot of us in a lot of ways but this specifically refers to fantasy football. Maybe your dynasty team that once looked like a strong contender is sitting at the bottom of the standings with one lonely win or none at all. […]
