Nick Harris Traded To Browns

Seattle Seahawks center Nick Harris has been traded to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. This is an odd story considering Harris spent the first four years of his career with Cleveland. He was taken in the fifth-round by the team during the 2020 NFL Draft. However, he was let go by the team this offseason […]

Marquez Callaway Cut By Saints

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Callaway has been released by the organization on Sunday. That didn't last long for Callaway as he was added to the roster in the beginning of the month. He has now been cut in order to make room for wide receiver Shaquan Davis on the 90-man roster. Callaway did […]

Eddy Pineiro Wins Starting Kicker Spot

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro appears to have won the starting kicker job heading into the regular season. The organization has waived undrafted free agent Harrison Mervis on Sunday. That leaves Pineiro as the only kicker on the roster, which means he should be the starter heading into the season. Last season, Pineiro connected on […]

Rashod Bateman Should Return Soon

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is expected to be back on the practice field soon, according to head coach John Harbaugh. Bateman appeared to have suffered an upper body injury during practice last Monday. Harbaugh said the issue isn't serious, but Bateman sat out of the preseason opener anyway. The Ravens are likely just […]

Kyle Hamilton Exits Practice Early

Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (leg) was forced to exit early during practice on Sunday. The young safety suffered a leg injury, but head coach John Harbaugh said that Hamilton looks stable. The assumption is that the team will run tests to determine the severity of the issue. The hope is that this is a […]

James Paxton Exits In First Inning

Boston Red Sox starting pitcher James Paxton has been pulled from Sunday's outing against the Houston Astros. The veteran southpaw limped to the dugout after recording two outs and giving up two hits. The exact injury is uncertain right now but there should be more information on Paxton soon. In his absence, right-hander Lucas Sims […]

Matt Vierling Returns To The Lineup

Detroit Tigers outfielder Matt Vierling (back) returns to the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the San Francisco Giants. The 27-year-old is back in the lineup after missing two games due to back spasms. He'll serve as the designated hitter and bat leadoff against right-hander Hayden Birdsong on Sunday. Fantasy managers who have Vierling […]

Jose Tena Exits Early On Sunday

Washington Nationals infielder Jose Tena (thumb) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. Tena suffered a right thumb injury while attempting to field a grounder in the third inning. The expectation is that Tena will undergo further testing to determine the severity of the injury. Ildemaro Vargas replaced him […]

Ramon Laureano Remains Out On Sunday

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ramon Laureano (heel) is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Colorado Rockies. The veteran outfielder was pulled from Saturday's contest due to right heel soreness. Laureano has a wrap on his foot, so the severity of the issue is unknown right now. For now, fantasy managers should […]

Joey Loperfido Taking A Seat On Sunday

Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Joey Loperfido is out of the starting lineup ahead of Sunday's game against the Oakland Athletics. The rookie slugger has started the last three games and will get the day off against a left-handed starting pitcher. The 24-year-old has struggled a bit lately but should continue to get regular at-bats down […]

Sean Tucker Rushes For Nearly 70 Yards

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker did a solid job on the ground during Saturday's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. The second-year back barely touched the field during his rookie season in Tampa Bay. Tucker is looking to secure the backup role behind Rachaad White. He certainly helped his case while rushing for […]

Bucky Irving Scores In Preseason Debut

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving made the most of his chances during the preseason opener on Saturday. The rookie back rushed into the end zone for a five-yard touchdown to tie up the game towards the end of the first quarter. The fourth-round pick rushed six times for 28 yards and one score […]

Kyle Trask Quiet In Preseason Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask was tasked with making the start under center for the preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. The former second-round pick has failed to make a name for himself since being drafted in 2021. Last season, Trask battled with Baker Mayfield for the starting gig. Now, Trask is […]

MarShawn Lloyd Suffers Hamstring Injury

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) was forced to exit early during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie back only saw two touches before exiting the contest. The organization will likely have Lloyd undergo further testing before knowing the severity of the injury. He's competing for a spot on the […]

Elijah Mitchell Won't Play Saturday

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) won't suit up for Saturday's preseason opener. The 49ers will be without Mitchell, Christian McCaffrey (calf), and Isaac Guerendo (hamstring) for Saturday's contest. Undrafted rookie Cody Schrader and veteran Matt Breida are likely to see increased touches with the 49ers limited on players. These injuries aren't expected […]

David Bell Exits Early On Saturday

Cleveland Browns wide receiver David Bell (quad) was forced to exit early during Saturday's preseason matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The young wideout headed to the locker room in the first half and didn't return. He hauled in his lone target for five yards before exiting the game. Hopefully it's only a minor issue […]

Jakeem Grant Sr. Joining Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons have agreed to terms with free agent wide receiver Jakeem Grant Sr. on Saturday. The former sixth-round pick has spent a majority of his career with the Miami Dolphins. He tore his Achilles in 2022 which prompted his release from the Cleveland Browns. Grant is an All-Pro returner as his best season […]

Byron Buxton Sitting During Nightcap

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton is absent from the starting lineup ahead of the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cleveland Guardians. This is not shocking given Buxton was dealing with a back issue earlier in the week. The Twins don't want to risk the health of the oft-injured outfielder. Manuel Margot will cover […]

Jean Segura Signing With Orioles

The Baltimore Orioles have signed fre-agent infielder Jean Segura to a minor-league deal on Friday. This is a nice low-risk for the O's to see if the 34-year-old has anything left in the tank. Segura struggled with a .219/.277/.279 slash line with three home runs and 21 RBI with the Miami Marlins last season. Segura […]

Alex Cobb To Make Season Debut On Friday

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Alex Cobb (hip, finger, shoulder) is scheduled to make his season debut against the Minnesota Twins on Friday in Game 2 of a doubleheader between the division rivals. The veteran right-hander has been sidelined all season long due to multiple injury issues. He is finally ready to pitch once again after […]

Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Absent On Friday

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This looks to be nothing more than a routine rest day after Gurriel collected two hits on Thursday. In his place, Jake McCarthy will cover left field and bat second against right-hander Zack Wheeler. Fantasy […]

Ketel Marte Taking A Seat

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This appears to be a routine rest day for Marte after he went hitless with three strikeouts during Thursday's contest. In his absence, Kevin Newman will bat ninth and cover second base against right-hander Zack […]

CJ Abrams Scratched On Friday

Washington Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams has been scratched from the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. The team hasn't given a reason as to why Abrams was pulled from the contest. The Nats should give more information on the situation soon, so fantasy managers should stay tuned. In his place, […]

Cody Bellinger Returning On Friday

Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger (hamstring) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago White Sox. The lefty slugger was held out of Wednesday's contest due to a minor hamstring issue. It seems that two days of rest has helped as Bellinger will serve as the designated hitter and bat […]

Jerry Jeudy Misses Thursday's Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (leg) did not suit up for Thursday's practice session. Jeudy made a return on Sunday, but was downgraded to individual drills on Monday. Now, Jeudy is watching from the sidelines with a wrap around his leg. The fifth-year wideout is not expected to play in the preseason opener. The […]

Noah Brown Nearing Return

Houston Texans wide receiver Noah Brown (shoulder) is nearing a return to the practice field. Brown has been out of practice since suffering a shoulder strain last week. It's uncertain if it's related to the same shoulder he injured during the Wild Card game in January. Regardless, Brown shouldn't be sidelined for much longer. He'll […]

Justin Jefferson Unlikely To Play In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason opener, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell. This doesn't appear to be health related as Jefferson seems to be fine heading into the preseason. The Vikings simply don't want to risk an injury in an exhibition game. Sam Darnold is slated […]

Kyle Trask To Start In Preseason Opener

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Kyle Trask has been named the starter for Saturday's preseason opener against the Cincinnati Bengals. Head coach Todd Bowles mentioned that a majority of the starters including Baker Mayfield will be resting in the opener. That being said, Trask will start the game and is expected to be followed by third-string […]

J.J. McCarthy To See Significant Snaps In Preseason Opener

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy is going to get his first taste of professional football on Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Sam Darnold will draw the start under center before McCarthy takes over. Head coach Kevin O'Connell said that the rookie signal-caller will get a significant amount of work during the preseason opener. Second-year […]
