Kyler Murray Should Be More Efficient In Second Season

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray and the offense have been practicing at warp speed in training camp.

Gunner Olszewski Making The Leap, Mohamed Sanu Quiet

While the New England Patriots wide receivers haven't taken much of a step forward from last year to this year, wideout Gunner Olszewski is "faster, stronger, quicker" and has been the second-best receiver behind Julian Edelman in training camp. Meanwhile, Mohamed Sanu has been "very quiet" during practices. Second-year receiver N'Keal Harry has had a […]

Troy Pride Could Earn Starting Snaps For Panthers Defense

Carolina Panthers rookie cornerback Troy Pride showed out in practice on Friday with multiple pass breakups while also helping to force an interception.

The Panthers […]

Tom Brady Looks Good In First Scrimmage

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that quarterback Tom Brady looked good in his first scrimmage at Raymond James Stadium on Friday. "I thought Tom was very efficient.

George Kittle Dealing With Hamstring Tightness

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that tight end George Kittle (hamstring) has "nothing pulled or strained. Just tightness."

Justin Upton Has Fallen Off The Fantasy Radar

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Justin Upton continues to struggle mightily heading into Friday night's action against the Mariners.

Andres Gimenez Returns From The Injured List

New York Mets infielder Andres Gimenez (undisclosed) returned from the injured list on Friday, just four days after being placed on it.

Andrew Heaney Looks To Turn The Tide

Los Angeles Angels starter Andrew Heaney will take the bump on Friday night against the A's. After a solid couple of starts to begin the season, Heaney has fallen apart over the last three starts.

David Peterson Gets The Start On Friday

New York Mets left-handed pitcher David Peterson (shoulder) will return from the injured list and start in the second game of a doubleheader on Friday against the Yankees.

Yankees Call Up Estevan Florial

New York Yankees outfielder Estevan Florial was called up and will make his MLB debut on Friday.

Florial is unlikely to see […]

Drew Brees Expecting Breakout Year For Tre'Quan Smith

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith was predicted as a breakout player for the 2020 NFL season. Not by fantasy analysts, but by his own quarterback, Drew Brees, who said, "Tre'Quan Smith is a guy who I think is ready to really blossom and just explode in this offense." The 24-year-old is entering his […]

Gio Urshela Day-To-Day With A Bone Spur

New York Yankees third baseman Gio Urshela (elbow) is sitting for the team’s first game on Friday and is day-to-day with a bone spur in his elbow. The Yankees appear to be optimistic that Urshela will avoid a stint on the injured list, but fantasy players should expect the third baseman to miss at least […]

Giancarlo Stanton At Least A Week Away From Returning

New York Yankees outfielder and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) is still at least a week away from rejoining the team, according to manager Aaron Boone. Stanton was placed on the injured list with a Grade 1 hamstring strain on Aug. 11, and although he started swinging again on Thursday, fantasy players should expect the 30-year-old […]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge (calf) was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday after aggravating his calf strain.

With Judge expected […]

Damian Lillard Leaves Orlando Bubble

Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard (knee) has left the bubble in Orlando and returned to Portland for further evaluation. An MRI revealed a right knee sprain and it's unclear if he'll be able to return to the bubble. The Blazers are already down 3-1 to the Los Angeles Lakers, so it's unlikely that Lillard […]

Aaron Gordon Has Left The Bubble

Orlando Magic forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) has left the bubble, which likely means that he is done for the postseason. His left hamstring injury has been progressing slowly and head coach Steve Clifford mentioned on Tuesday that Gordon wasn't able to do sprints.
