William Byron Starting Fifth At Richmond

Hendrick Motorsports driver William Byron will start from the fifth position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Byron and the No. 24 team have hit their stride, scoring three straight top-five finishes, including Byron's first career win at Daytona. However, Byron has not fared well in his four career starts at […]

Alshon Jeffery Officially Out For Week 1

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Washington Football Team. The good news is that Jeffery avoided the Physically Unable to Perform list to begin the year, but he's expected to miss multiple weeks. The 30-year-old has battled injuries and inconsistency for his fantasy managers […]

Denzel Mims, La'Mical Perine Ruled Out For Season Opener

New York Jets rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims (hamstring) and rookie running back La'Mical Perine (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Bills. Mims is dealing with injuries to both of his hamstrings, so he might not even be ready for Week 2. Breshad Perriman, Jamison Crowder and Chris Hogan should […]

N'Keal Harry Questionable Against Miami

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (shoulder) and rookie tight end Dalton Keene (neck) are both questionable for Week 1 against the Dolphins. Harry was reportedly a full practice participant on Friday, so he should be fine to play this weekend. The second-round wideout should see a healthy amount of targets from quarterback Cam […]

Joey Logano Starts On The Front Row At Richmond

Penske Racing's Joey Logano will take off from the second position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Logano had an impressive rebound to end up third, last week at Darlington, after an early incident. Logano comes into Richmond with seven top-10 finishes in his last eight Cup races. Logano has been […]

Mike Williams Officially Questionable Against Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Week 1 against the Bengals. Williams put in limited practices all week, giving him a chance to suit up in the regular season opener. However, he likely won't be 100 percent, and Philip Rivers was a much better fit for him than Tyrod Taylor […]

Justice Hill, Chris Moore Won't Play In Week 1

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill (thigh) and wide receiver Chris Moore (finger) have both been ruled out for Week 1 against the Browns. After a quiet rookie season in 2019, Hill doesn't have much of a path for a sophomore improvement in a backfield that also includes Mark Ingram II, Gus Edwards and promising […]

Browns Defense To Be Without Greedy Williams, Mack Wilson

Cleveland Browns cornerbacks Greedy Williams (shoulder) and Kevin Johnson (liver) and linebacker Mack Wilson (knee) have been ruled out for Week 1 against the Ravens. Cleveland's secondary is short-handed with Williams and Johnson sidelined and rookie safety Grant Delpit on Injured Reserve. That's not a good combination with Lamar Jackson and the explosive Ravens offense […]

Denny Hamlin A Strong Contender At Richmond

Joe Gibbs Racing's Denny Hamlin will start from the seventh position in Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond Raceway. Hamlin comes into Richmond after a disappointing 13th-place finish at Darlington. Hamlin has enjoyed some success at Richmond in the past, winning three races. In 27 career starts, Hamlin has those three wins, 13 […]

Danny Amendola, Jeff Okudah Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (hamstring) and cornerback Jeff Okudah (hamstring) are questionable for Week 1 against the Bears. Amendola was limited in practice all week, so he has a pretty good chance of suiting up. With Kenny Golladay (hamstring) doubtful to play, Amendola could see his fair share of targets from quarterback Matthew […]

Matt Chapman Will Receive Second Opinion On Hip Injury

Oakland Athletics third baseman Matt Chapman was once again absent from the club’s lineup Friday due to the hip ailment that has kept him from playing since last Sunday. While Oakland has insisted that Chapman won’t require a stint on the injured list, he will receive a second opinion on his hip. With a whopping […]

Giants-Padres Postponed Saturday Due To COVID-19

After having their Friday contest postponed due to a positive test within the San Francisco Giants organization, the game Saturday between the Giants and San Diego Padres has now been postponed as well. The move is seen as precautionary in order to do additional contact tracing, while the extent of positive tests is unknown as […]

Phillip Dorsett II Questionable For Week 1

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Phillip Dorsett II (foot) has been dealing with a nagging injury, and it appears that he is likely to miss Week 1. Dorsett helps round out this team's receiver corps by giving them a consistent underneath receiver to pair with wideouts Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Dorsett can present some interesting WR3 […]

Duke Johnson Dealing With Sprained Ankle

Houston Texans running back Duke Johnson (ankle), who sprained his ankle in the Thursday night loss to the Chiefs, is now questionable for the team's Week 2 contest against the Ravens, according to a source. Johnson injured himself in the second half of the game and never returned, finishing with five carries for just 14 […]

David Montgomery, Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery (groin), wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (knee), wide receiver Javon Wims (Achilles) and linebacker Khalil Mack (knee) are all questionable for Week 1 against the Lions. Montgomery has practiced in full the last two days, however, so it sounds as though he'll be active in the season opener. If he's […]

Broncos Extend Brandon McManus For Four Years

The Denver Broncos are giving kicker Brandon McManus a four-year, $17.2 million contract extension on Friday, including $9.5 million fully guaranteed. McManus has one of the strongest legs in the NFL and kicks half his games in altitude in Denver. The 29-year-old has hit 81.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his six years in […]

Shed Long Jr. Hits Injured List With Shin Fracture

Seattle Mariners second baseman Shed Long Jr. was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest against Arizona due to a stress fracture in his right shin. The ailment likely ends Long’s 2020 season, in which he scuffled at the dish to the tune of a .171 batting average through 34 games. Long […]

Giants-Padres Postponed Friday

The San Francisco Giants and San Diego Padres will not play their scheduled contest Friday due to a postponement. The reason for the cancellation was due to a positive COVID-19 test within the Giants organization. The timing of the decision leaves fantasy managers in a tough spot as it pertains to DFS and season-long lineups. […]

Darrell Henderson Jr. Will Be Active Sunday Night

Los Angeles Rams running back Darrell Henderson Jr. (hamstring) had been dealing with a soft-tissue injury for the last couple of weeks, and his status for Week 1 was in question. On Friday, he completed his third consecutive day of full practice, and head coach Sean McVay stated that all of his players would be available […]

Stephen Piscotty Nears Return To Lineup

Oakland Athletics outfielder Stephen Piscotty (wrist) has not started a game since Monday due to wrist soreness, but he is feeling much improved and is expected back in the lineup Saturday versus Texas. Having driven in 28 runs in his first 34 games, Piscotty has some deep league fantasy appeal upon his return to the starting […]

Seattle Outrights Mallex Smith Off 40-Man Roster

Seattle Mariners outfielder Mallex Smith was outrighted to Triple-A on Friday, officially removing him from the club’s 40-man roster. It has been a precipitous fall for Smith, who started in right field for Seattle on Opening Day, but slashed just .133/.170/.178 in 14 games, which earned him a demotion to the club’s alternate training site. […]

New York Plans To Have Steven Matz Back In Mix Soon

New York Mets left-handed pitcher Steven Matz is expected back “soon,” per manager Luis Rojas, who revealed Friday that the southpaw should be activated off of the injured list in the coming days. Matz threw a bullpen session Friday, a likely indicator that a return is near after his stint on the IL due to […]

Tommy Pham Continues To Progress Toward Return

San Diego Padres outfielder Tommy Pham (hand) ramped up to hitting against a machine Friday, just a day after hitting on the field against coaches. Pham has been on the injured list since Aug. 17 due to a broken left hand, but he has been tenacious on the comeback trail, attempting to return prior to the […]

David Fletcher Anticipates Return Saturday

Los Angeles Angels infielder David Fletcher said Friday that his left ankle is much improved and that he anticipates returning to the starting lineup Saturday. Fletcher last played Aug. 30, which was when he sprained his ankle, paving the way for Luis Rengifo to see considerable time at second base. With Andrelton Simmons back in […]

Ronald Acuna Jr. Day-To-Day After Leaving Early Friday

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. fouled a pitch off of his foot Friday against the Nationals, forcing him to exit early. After having been helped off of the field without being able to put pressure on his foot, X-rays revealed that there was no fracture and that Acuna will be […]

Tyler Thornburg Lands On Injured List With Elbow Sprain

Cincinnati Reds right-handed pitcher Tyler Thornburg was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest against the Cardinals due to a sprained right elbow. Thornburg had begun to carve out a niche for himself among the Reds’ relief corps with 10 strikeouts in seven innings, even as returning righties leapfrogged him in leverage […]

Josh Taylor Becomes Latest Player To Hit Injured List

Boston Red Sox left-handed pitcher Josh Taylor was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest against the Rays due to tendinitis in his pitching shoulder. The ailment is the latest malady for a Red Sox pitching unit that has been severely sidetracked by injuries in 2020. Taylor produced a 9.82 ERA across […]

Angela Hill With A Lot On The Line In Saturday's Main Event

Angela Hill (12-8) is not only the first African American female to headline a UFC card, but scoring a victory over eighth-ranked Michelle Waterson would push her up the women's strawweight division. Known as an aggressive striker, Hill averages 5.76 significant strikes per minute. This places her fifth all-time among strawweights. Prior to her May […]

Matt Strahm Lands On Injured List With Knee Inflammation

San Diego Padres left-handed pitcher Matt Strahm was placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Friday’s contest against San Francisco due to inflammation in his right knee. Strahm has proven to be a critical cog in the Padres’ bullpen this season, having compiled a 2.84 ERA and 0.84 WHIP across 19 innings. Luis Perdomo […]
