Detroit Lions tight end T.J. Hockenson is expected to stick with the organization for at least two more seasons. On Tuesday, the Lions exercised Hockenson's fifth-year option that is worth $9.3 million in 2023.

Jimmy Garoppolo To Panthers Is Unlikely

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been on the trade block all offseason long. However, there hasn't been much movement on the trade front, which could be a problem soon. One team that would make sense on paper is the Carolina Panthers. Although, David Newton of ESPN mentioned that Garoppolo has never been on […]

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Monday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks.

Otherwise, […]

Zach LaVine Placed In COVID-19 Safety Protocols

Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine has been placed in the league's health and safety protocols on Tuesday.

Jimmy Butler To Sit Out Game 5

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (knee) has been officially ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks.

Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro, Max Strus, […]

Bogdan Bogdanovic Won't Play In Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup against the Miami Heat.

Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell (hamstring) was unable to finish out Monday's Game 5 against the Dallas Mavericks.

Ronnie Stanley Is On Pace To Play In 2022

Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley (ankle) is on pace to be ready for the 2022 season. He appeared in one game last season before missing the rest of the year due to an ankle injury.

49ers Exercise Fifth-Year Option On Nick Bosa

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa had his fifth-year option accepted by the organization. This seems like a no-brainer as Bosa has been an elite pass rusher since being drafted in 2019. The 49ers will no doubt be looking to extend Bosa long term, but we'll see how much it cost them. In 2021, […]

Packers Are Targeting Darren Waller

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller could be on the move this offseason. The Raiders and Green Bay Packers reportedly discussed having Waller part of the Davante Adams trade earlier in the year.

Tee Higgins To Miss Offseason Workouts

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (shoulder) is expected to miss all of the offseason workouts, according to head coach Zac Taylor.

Bogdan Bogdanovic Could Miss Game 5

Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Miami Heat.

George Hill Still Needs More Time

Milwaukee Bucks guard George Hill (abdominal) still needs more time to recover. At this point, it's fair to assume Hill won't play at all during the first round. Head coach Mike Budenholzer mentioned that Hill is not day-to-day and is going to need some extra time to rest. Fantasy managers should expect Jevon Carter to […]

Alex Caruso Uncertain For Wednesday

Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso (head) is questionable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Milwaukee Bucks. He was originally ruled out, but it sounds like Caruso has a chance to suit up. He is still going through concussion protocol, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait until closer to Wednesday for more information. Ayo […]
