Lamar Jackson Struggles Against Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson didn't look like the defending NFL MVP in Monday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Jackson was held to just 97 passing yards, going 15-for-28 and throwing one touchdown. Jackson did lead the team in rushing yards with 83 of them on nine carries, salvaging his day for fantasy managers, […]

Patrick Mahomes Dominates On Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had himself a performance on Monday versus the Baltimore Ravens. The MVP completed 31 of 42 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns.

Chris Harris Jr. Out At Least A Month

Los Angeles Chargers cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (foot) suffered a foot injury in the Week 3 loss to the Panthers that is expected to keep him out at least a month and possibly up to six weeks, according to sources.

Mecole Hardman Scores Touchdown

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Mecole Hardman caught four of his six targets for 81 yards and a touchdown in Week 3 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hardman dropped what would've been a second touchdown right before halftime, but had a solid game nonetheless. Hardman has plenty of competition in an explosive offense and managers should […]

Sammy Watkins Plays Big Role In Week 3

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins hauled in seven of eight targets for 62 yards on Monday versus the Baltimore Ravens. Watkins was questionable with both a concussion and neck injury, but suited up and played a big role in Monday's victory. Watkins like fellow wide receivers Demarcus Robinson and Mecole Hardman will have […]

Tyreek Hill Scores In Third Straight Game

Jesus Luzardo Facing Pesky White Sox

Oakland Athletics left-handed hurler Jesus Luzardo will start Game 1 of the wild-card series against the White Sox on Tuesday. The White Sox were a perfect 14-0 against left-handed starters this year.

Chicago White Sox right-hander Lucas Giolito has been named the team's starter for Game 1 of the wild-card series against the A's on Tuesday.

Eloy Jimenez Thinks He'll Start In Game 1

Chicago White Sox outfielder Eloy Jimenez (foot) thinks he'll start in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the A's on Tuesday despite missing last weekend with a mid-foot sprain. Jimenez did some sprints, took part in batting practice and went through throwing and fielding drills on Monday and feels much improved. The 23-year-old could […]

Kwang Hyun Kim To Start Game 1, Adam Wainwright To Follow

St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Kwang Hyun Kim will get the start in Game 1 of the wild-card series against the Padres on Wednesday. Veteran right-hander Adam Wainwright will start in Game 2. Padres left-handed hitters Mitch Moreland and Jason Castro, who have poor career numbers against southpaws, will likely start the series on the bench. […]

Dinelson Lamet, Mike Clevinger Throw Monday

San Diego Padres starting pitchers Dinelson Lamet (biceps) and Mike Clevinger (elbow) both threw on Monday, playing what sources called "aggressive catch," but neither threw a bullpen session. Both pitchers are rotation options for the wild-card series against the Cardinals, which starts on Wednesday. They're unlikely to start in Game 1 since they haven't thrown […]

Paulo Costa Unsuccessful In Bid For Middleweight Title

Paulo Costa suffered the first loss of his professional career on Saturday night, sustaining the TKO loss in the second round to champion Israel Adesanya.

Earl Thomas Likely To Sign With Texans Defense

The Houston Texans have brought in All-Pro safety Earl Thomas for a workout, and a source said that the team is more likely to sign him this week than not.

Israel Adesanya Remains Perfect With Second-Round Knockout

Sam Darnold Won't Be Benched

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase remains committed to struggling quarterback Sam Darnold after an 0-3 start.

Dominick Reyes has only lost two bouts in his career, and both of those losses have come in his bid for the UFC light-heavyweight title.

Royval racked up 39 significant strikes (51 total strikes), including a couple of knockdowns in the first round. In the early goings of the second round, Kara-France shot in for the […]

Justice Hill Inactive Again

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill is a healthy scratch on Monday night against the Chiefs, making it three weeks in a row that the second-year back hasn't played. Fantasy managers had high hopes for Hill last year, but it's become clear that he's not going to have a consistent role -- or even any […]

Sammy Watkins Active Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (concussion, neck) is active for Monday night's meeting against the Baltimore Ravens. An inconsistent weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, Watkins is best viewed as a risky DFS play this week for fantasy managers looking to differentiate their lineups from everyone else's, because you can't bet on Watkins having […]

Jordan Reed Could Miss 6-8 Weeks

San Francisco 49ers tight end Jordan Reed (knee) left Sunday's game against the New York Giants after injuring his knee on an end-zone target. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Reed has a significant knee sprain that could keep him out between six and eight weeks. This is awful news for Reed, who has struggled […]

Newton also ran nine times for only 27 yards. "Me, personally? With lackluster ball security, just a slow start offensively, this […]

Aldon Smith Leads NFL In Sacks

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Aldon Smith is the NFL's leader in sacks through three weeks with four, ahead of T.J. Watt and Akiem Hicks, who both have 3.5. It's surprising, since Smith hadn't played a down of football since 2015 entering the 2020 season. Despite his three sacks of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in Week 3, […]

Younghoe Koo Expected To Miss Time

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (groin) is expected to miss time with a groin strain and could be placed on the short-term Injured Reserve, which would cause him to miss at least three weeks. It's a blow for fantasy managers that have been enjoying Koo's contributions in the early part of the season. The 26-year-old […]

Tarik Cohen's Season Is Officially Over

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed that running back Tarik Cohen (knee) tore his ACL in the Week 3 win over the Falcons, and he'll be placed on Injured Reserve for the rest of the season. It's a tough loss for the Bears, as Cohen was a nice pass-catching option out of the backfield […]

Phillip Lindsay Trending In The Right Direction

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) is "trending in the right direction" to play on Thursday night against the Jets. However, if Lindsay does play after missing the last two weeks, he'll be on a limited snap count. Even against a weak Jets Defense in Week 4, Lindsay […]
