Courtland Sutton Questionable For Week 2

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Steelers. Sutton is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday after he missed the season-opening loss to the Titans. If Sutton winds up playing, he probably won't be 100 percent and […]

Phillip Lindsay Won't Play In Week 2

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (toe) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Steelers. Lindsay hurt his toe in the first half of the Week 1 loss to the Steelers and was diagnosed with turf toe. He's listed as week-to-week for now, but the good news is […]

Jose Iglesias Not In Friday's Lineup

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jose Iglesias is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Tampa Bay Rays. It is just a regular day off for the 30-year-old. In his absence, Andrew Velasquez will start at shortstop and bat ninth against Tyler Glasnow. It is tough to trust any Orioles' batter on Friday against […]

George Kittle Ruled Out Against Jets

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (knee) has been ruled out for Week 2 against the Jets. Kittle suffered a knee sprain in the Week 1 loss to the Cardinals and will rest up for a week. The All-Pro tight end is a must-start each and every week, but his fantasy managers will have […]

Justin Turner Retreats To Bench Friday

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Turner recently returned from the injured list, so the team does not want to overwork him before the postseason begins. In his absence, A.J. Pollock is serving as the designated hitter and batting sixth, while […]

William Smith Not In Friday's Lineup

Los Angeles Dodgers catcher William Smith is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies. Smith has started seven of the last eight games, so it is just a regular rest day for the 25-year-old. In his absence, Austin Barnes starts behind the plate and bats ninth against Ryan Castellani. Any […]

Tim Anderson Getting Day Off Friday

Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. It is just a regular day of rest for the 27-year-old, as the White Sox clinched a playoff spot with their win on Thursday night. In his absence, Nick Madrigal moves up to the leadoff spot […]

Bobby Dalbec Not In Friday's Lineup

Boston Red Sox first baseman Bobby Dalbec is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the New York Yankees. The 25-year-old was batting 2-for-15 over his past four games with 10 strikeouts. In his absence, Michael Chavis will start at first base and bat eighth against Jordan Montgomery. Chavis is nothing more than […]

Pete Alonso On The Bench On Friday

New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Dominic Smith is starting at first base and batting fifth against Max Fried. Alonso is 1-for-15 in his career against Fried, so the 25-year-old is a healthy scratch for the contest. He is slashing just […]

Mike Yastrzemski Out Of Friday's Lineup

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (calf) is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The 30-year-old left Thursday's contest against the Seattle Mariners with calf tightness. He was set to undergo an MRI on Friday, but the results are still undetermined. In his absence, Darin Ruf will start in […]

Dallas Keuchel Will Start Saturday Against Reds

Chicago White Sox starter Dallas Keuchel (back) will be activated off of the injured list and start Saturday's matchup against the Cincinnati Reds. Keuchel has not pitched since Sept. 6 due to back spasms. The 32-year-old has enjoyed a fantastic first season with the White Sox, posting a 6-2 record to go along with a […]

Michael Lorenzen Starting Sunday Against White Sox

Cincinnati Reds pitcher Michael Lorenzen will start Sunday's game against the Chicago White Sox. Lorenzen allowed one run across five innings of work during a spot start against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. The 28-year-old owns a 4.56 ERA and 23/14 K/BB rate across 25 2/3 innings in 2020. Even though the White Sox have […]

Kenny Golladay Ruled Out For Week 2

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Week 2 against the Packers. Golladay will miss his second straight game to open the season, but hopefully his fantasy managers will be able to put him into their lineups for Week 3. The Lions will use three-wide sets of Marvin Jones […]

Sonny Gray Aiming To Return Next Week

Cincinnati Reds starter Sonny Gray (back) is hoping to return to the team's rotation for their series against the Milwaukee Brewers at the start of next week. Gray was placed on the injured list following a rough start on Sept. 10 against the Chicago Cubs. If the 30-year-old can return on Monday or Tuesday, he […]

Melvin Gordon III Should See Bigger Workload In Week 2

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III has more upside as an RB2 this weekend against the Steelers with teammate Phillip Lindsay (toe) week-to-week with turf toe. The matchup is a daunting one, though, as the Steelers Defense held Saquon Barkley in check (15 carries for six yards) in Week 1. But the extra touches […]

Dakota Hudson Heads To 10-Day Injured List

Updating a previous post, St. Louis Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson (elbow) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The results of Hudson's MRI have not come back yet, but the consensus is that he is dealing with a flexor strain. The 26-year-old is now officially done for the rest of the regular […]

Jean Segura Sitting Out On Friday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Jean Segura (elbow) is not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of Friday's doubleheader with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 30-year-old was hit by a pitch in the back of his elbow on Thursday. He is not expected to play in Game 2 of the doubleheader either. In his absence, […]

Drew Lock Faces Tough Pittsburgh Defense In Week 2

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock faces a stiff test in Week 2 on the road against the Steelers Defense. The 23-year-old second-year signal-caller had his ups and downs in the Week 1 Monday night loss to the Titans. His mobility and arm strength were on display, but he was hurt by some drops and overthrows […]

Jon Berti Plays Simulated Game Thursday

Miami Marlins shortstop Jon Berti (finger) played in a simulated game on Thursday and suffered no setbacks. The 30-year-old has been out of the lineup since Sept. 7 with a finger contusion. Berti was slashing .250/.354/.354 with two homers, 10 RBI, 18 runs scored, and eight stolen bases through 96 at-bats. Any fantasy managers desperate […]

Eugenio Suarez Back In Friday's Lineup

Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez was activated off of the paternity list on Friday morning. He is starting at the hot corner and batting fourth against the Chicago White Sox. Suarez is carrying a lowly .206 average through 165 at-bats in 2020 but has redeemed himself with 13 homers and 30 RBI. He is […]

Khalil Mack, Robert Quinn Questionable For Bears Defense

Chicago Bears linebackers Khalil Mack (knee) and Robert Quinn (ankle) are both questionable to play in Week 2 against the Giants. Mack was also questionable for the season opener against the Lions, but he played and was quiet with just four combined tackles. Quinn missed Week 1 with Chicago after a big season with the […]

Harold Castro Returns To Lineup Friday

Detroit Tigers utilityman Harold Castro (hamstring) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Friday. He is starting in right field and batting fifth against Zach Plesac and the Cleveland Indians. Castro's posted a .276 average across 29 at-bats in 2020, but he has non-existent fantasy appeal for the final weeks of the season. […]

Michael Thomas Not At Practice Friday

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) was not present at practice on Friday for the second straight day. There were reports that Thomas "felt fantastic" at practice on Thursday, and there is a "glimmer of hope" that he can play in Week 2 on Monday night against the Raiders, but it's a long […]

Dexter Fowler Set To Return Next Week

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Dexter Fowler (illness) is on schedule to return to the team next week. He recently resumed baseball activities, as he has not appeared in a game since Sept. 1. Fowler was slashing .279/.347/.485 to go along with four homers and 14 RBI across 68 at-bats in 2020. He is a decent […]

Golden Tate Questionable Against Bears

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Bears. Tate sat out in Week 1 against the Steelers, but he was much more active in practice on Friday than he was last week. Even if the 32-year-old plays this weekend, there are likely better flex options […]

Tampa Bay Lightning Advance To Stanley Cup Finals

The Tampa Bay Lightning have advanced to the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals with a 4-2 series victory against the New York Islanders in the Eastern Conference Finals held in Edmonton. The Lightning wrapped up the series with Anthony Cirelli's series-winning goal in overtime, helping the team make their first finals appearance since 2015. Defenseman Victor […]

James Conner Good To Go Against Broncos

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (ankle) practiced in full the last two days and was taken off the Week 2 injury report. Conner will be active this Sunday against the Broncos, but he might play second fiddle to Benny Snell Jr. after Snell replaced the injured Conner in Week 1 against the Giants and […]

Jay Bruce Activated Off Of Injured List

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Jay Bruce (quad) was activated off of the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 33-year-old has not appeared in a game since Sept. 5. He is not in the team's starting lineup for Game 1 of their doubleheader against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he may serve as the designated hitter […]

Mike Evans Removed From Week 2 Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the Week 2 injury report. Evans will be good to go against the division-rival Panthers. The 27-year-old should draw the coverage of cornerback Donte Jackson, but he's good enough to put up points, and he should be targeted […]

Dakota Hudson Likely Dealing With Flexor Issue

St. Louis Cardinals starter Dakota Hudson is likely dealing with a flexor issue in his arm, according to president of baseball operations John Mozeliak. Hudson left Thursday's start against the Pittsburgh Pirates after two innings due to elbow tightness. X-rays on his elbow came back negative, but the Cardinals are currently awaiting the results of […]
