Frank Clark Might Return To Kansas City

Free-agent defensive end Frank Clark can sign with a new team as of Saturday. The veteran, who inked a deal with the Broncos this offseason, appeared in just two games for the franchise, totaling two tackles. Without a doubt, his short-lived tenure in Denver wasn't a success. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Clark returning […]

Elijah Mitchell Trending Toward Playing In Week 6

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell (knee) appears on track to return on Sunday against the Browns. He sat out a few games because of a knee injury.

Justin Watson Could Return "Sooner Rather Than Later"

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justin Watson (elbow) "should be back sooner rather than later" after an MRI revealed "no significant damage."

Fantasy Basketball ADP Smashers 2023 - Points Leagues

There aren't many things fantasy managers can agree on entering each NBA season. However, Nikola Jokic is widely considered the best basketball player on the planet, meaning he remains No. 1 overall in preseason ADP rankings in both category and point leagues. But more than a few players, specifically Luka Doncic and Joel Embiid, are […]

Tyler Boyd Falls Below Expectations On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd caught six of his seven targets for 39 yards during Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. Unsurprisingly, Ja'Marr Chase led the way on the receiving end, catching 15 passes for 192 yards and three touchdowns. Bu with Tee Higgins (ribs) out, most had assumed Boyd would pick up the […]

Trenton Irwin Has Eight Catches In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Trenton Irwin had eight catches for 60 yards in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals.

Joe Mixon Can't Find The End Zone In Week 5

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon ran the ball 25 times in Sunday's win over the Cardinals, finishing with 81 yards. He added four catches (four targets) for 13 yards.

Ja'Marr Chase Scores Three Times On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had an impressive showing in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. The former LSU Tiger hadn't found the end zone entering Week 5.

Joe Burrow Turns It Around On Sunday

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow threw for 317 yards, three touchdowns (all to Ja'Marr Chase), and one interception off 36-for-46 passing during the win over the Cardinals on Sunday. The signal-caller had thrown only two touchdowns entering Week 5, so many were starting to lose hope. But Burrow gave managers a reason to remain optimistic, […]

Chris Olave Had Toe Injury Entering Sunday's Win

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (toe) caught two of his five targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's victory over the Patriots. While the 23-year-old is usually more productive, he at least found the end zone, so fantasy managers still got something from him in Week 5. There may be a […]

Mac Jones To Remain Starting Quarterback

According to Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, quarterback Mac Jones will remain the team's starter. The signal-caller was pulled from Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints after going 12-for-22 for 110 yards and two interceptions, opening the door for Bailey Zappe to take over for the second straight week. However, Zappe didn't play much […]

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson (hamstring) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, while Jefferson is […]

Travis Kelce Returns In Week 5

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) returned to Sunday's meeting with the Minnesota Vikings.

Travis Kelce Dealing With Ankle Injury

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) exited Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Jameson Williams Has Two Catches In Return

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams caught two of his three targets for two yards during Sunday's win over Carolina. Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring) didn't play, so most had assumed Williams would get more involved. However, Kalif Raymond, Josh Reynolds, and Sam LaPorta got most of the work on the receiving […]

Daniel Jones Undergoes X-ray

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) left Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and did not return. Neck issues are never good for anyone. However, Jones' injury is increasingly concerning, considering he admitted it feels "similar" to the one he had in 2021. The 26-year-old signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Giants […]

Josh Reynolds Finds The End Zone In Week 5

Detroit Lions wide receiver Josh Reynolds had a team-high four catches for 76 yards during the victory over the Carolina Panthers. He also found the end zone off a one-yard pass from Jared Goff late in the second quarter. The Lions were without Amon-Ra St. Brown (abdomen) and Jahmyr Gibbs (hamstring), so targets were up […]

James Conner Questionable To Return Versus Bengals

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. The 28-year-old had a fantastic showing before his premature exit because of a knee injury, amassing 46 yards off six touches for an impressive 7.7 yards per carry. The Cards were already down Keaontay Ingram (neck) for […]

David Montgomery Finds The End Zone Again In Week 5

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery ran for 109 yards and a touchdown off 19 touches during Sunday's blowout win over the Panthers. He added two catches (six targets) for 20 yards. The former Bear amassed a season-high 5.7 yards per carry in this one, and he surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark for the second […]

Marcus Smart Dealing With Abdominal Soreness

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (abdomen) is dealing with abdominal soreness. Although the injury is described as "minor," the Grizzlies will play it safe, meaning the 2021-22 Defensive Player of the Year could miss some or all of the team's preseason contests. Smart, who was traded to Memphis from Boston in June, has averaged 10.6 […]

Bojan Bogdanovic Suffers Strained Calf, Out Sunday

Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) won't play in Sunday's game against the Phoenix Suns. The 34-year-old veteran had the best season of his career in 2022-23, averaging 21.6 points and 41.1% shooting from behind the arc. As a result, fantasy managers have elevated expectations for him heading into the season, regardless if he remains […]

Payton Pritchard Agrees To Extension With Celtics

According to ESPN senior NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard agreed to a four-year, $30 million (fully guaranteed) extension with the team. The 25-year-old played a career-low 13.4 minutes last season and expressed displeasure regarding his role. As a result, he sought a trade heading into the summer. However, with Grant Williams, […]

James Harden Out Versus Boston

Philadelphia 76ers guard James Harden (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason meeting with the Celtics. Under normal circumstances, nobody would give much thought to someone missing an exhibition.

Joel Embiid Resting For Preseason Opener

Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (rest) won't suit up in Sunday's preseason opener against Boston. As expected, the Sixers will play safe with the reigning MVP, considering the team will need him healthy through the regular season and into the playoffs. Philly has three exhibition games left before beginning the 2023-24 campaign with a Thursday […]

Saquon Barkley Unlikely To Return Against Miami

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) isn't expected to return for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins. The 26-year-old suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 2 and has been working his way back since. He was officially listed as questionable after logging limited practice sessions throughout the week. […]

Marlon Humphrey Expected To Play In Week 5

Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (foot) is expected to make his season debut in Sunday's AFC North showdown with the Steelers. The Pro Bowler suffered a foot injury and underwent surgery in August, costing him the first four games of the 2023-24 campaign. He has been a potent defensive option for Baltimore since entering the […]

Aaron Jones Officially Questionable For Week 5

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (hamstring) carries a questionable tag ahead of Monday's matchup with the Raiders.
