Calvin Ridley Hamstring Shouldn't Be A Concern
While Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley exited training camp early on Thursday with tightness in his hamstring, the second-year receiver is expected to be good to return to the practice field soon. Ridley leaving was just a precaution according to head coach Dan Quinn, and shouldn't lead to any lingering issues. Ridley is a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTrey Burke Signs With 76ers
Point guard Trey Burke has signed a one-year deal with the Philadelphia 76ers. Because the Sixers lack depth at point guard behind Ben Simmons, Burke has a chance to play a decent role on this team if he's able to beat out Shake Milton for minutes. Burke should be able to do that. Still, he […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoSterling Shepard Breaks Thumb
New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard broke his thumb during training camp on Thursday, putting his status for Week 1's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys in doubt. It's possible Shepard could be ready to go, but if he does miss regular season action, tight end Evan Engram and wide receiver Golden Tate could see […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoWashington Signs Shaun Wilson
The Washington Redskins have signed running back Shaun Wilson, who appeared in five games for Tampa Bay last season and rushed for 29 yards. Wilson could just be a camp body, but his ability to contribute as a kick returner could help him get the fourth running back spot on the roster. If he does, […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRyan Fitzpatrick Leading Battle For Starting Role
Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick continued to impress on the first day of training camp and remains in the lead over second-year passer Josh Rosen in the battle for the team's starting quarterback role. In terms of fantasy impact, Fitzpatrick being Miami's starter is more appealing than Rosen getting the job, as Fitzpatrick has a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoKalen Ballage Gets First-Team Reps
Miami Dolphins running back Kalen Ballage saw work with the first-team offense during Thursday's training camp action. While Kenyan Drake is still the team's starting runner, Ballage getting early work with the starters is a sign that he should see an increased role for Miami this year. While that's bad news for Drake, it's good […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDragan Bender Signs With Bucks
Despite reports that he already signed a deal to play in Russia next season, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that former Suns power forward Dragan Bender has agreed to a two-year deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. It's hard to see a role for Bender in Milwaukee, as he's basically been a very, very inefficient stretch […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoMichael Thomas Does Not Report To Training Camp
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas did not report to training camp as the fourth-year receiver reportedly wants a new contract. Thomas has to report to the team at least 30 days before the start of the season for the upcoming season to count as an accrued season, so there's not much chance of […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoWill Fuller Practices On First Day Of Training Camp
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (ACL) practiced with the team on the first day of training camp, suggesting that he'll be fully healthy and ready to go as the 2019 season approaches. When Fuller is on the field, he's one of the NFL's most dangerous players and a touchdown magnet for quarterback Deshaun Watson, […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDanny Etling Converts To Wide Receiver
New England Patriots quarterback Danny Etling now appears to be New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Etling. With a tough path to making the roster as a quarterback but an easier path to finding snaps on a receiver-needy Patriots squad, Etling will try to make the team as a wideout. Etling showed off some of […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRyquell Armstead Is Off PUP List
It's only the first day of training camp for the Jacksonville Jaguars, but rookie running back Ryquell Armstead (hamstring) has already been removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list. The team had placed him there as a precaution, but it appears Armstead's hamstring injury happened long enough ago that he's cleared to be a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoAlbert Wilson Will Be Limited To Start Training Camp
Last season, a hip injury limited Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson to just seven games, and while he's mostly recovered at this point, the team plans to play it safe with Wilson at the start of training camp. Wilson will be limited to individual drills to open camp, though it's expected he'll be a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoChris Conley Could Play Key Role In Jacksonville
The Jacksonville Jaguars signed former Chiefs wide receiver Chris Conley this past offseason and Conley is currently projected to start for the Jaguars in his first season with the team. Conley's a speedy receiver who can make plays down the field, and he has some familiarity with quarterback Nick Foles from Foles' brief stint in […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoD.J. Chark Should Open Season As Starter
Jacksonville Jaguars second-year wide receiver D.J. Chark is expected to open the season as a starter for the Jaguars, says Daniel Popper of The Athletic. The team is expected to bring wide receiver Marqise Lee along slowly, with Chark and new acquisition Chris Conley seeing an increase in snaps to start the year. Chark's shown […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJosh Ferguson In Line To Be Houston's Third Back
Beyond Lamar Miller and D'Onta Foreman, the Houston Texans running back position is a bit of mystery. But Aaron Reiss of The Athletic predicts that former Indianapolis Colts running back Josh Ferguson seems to be in line to be the team's third back. Ferguson's role would exclusively be as a third-down back and he'd likely […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTitans Lineman Taylor Lewan Suspended Four Games
Tennessee Titans offensive lineman Taylor Lewan has been suspended for the first four games of the NFL season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Lewan is one of the NFL's best tackles, and while the team should mostly be fine in his absence, the offense is likely going to see a slight dip in production […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDerrius Guice Cleared For Training Camp
After an ACL tear ended his rookie year before it began and a hamstring injury originally put his status for training camp in jeopardy, people were understandably down on Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice. But head coach Jay Gruden says that Guice is fully ready for training camp and won't be limited, putting him […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoChris Godwin Expected To Take Most Snaps
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin is expected to be on the field for most of Tampa Bay's snaps in 2019 according to new head coach Bruce Arians. Arians also said that he sees Godwin playing in a slot role similar to the one Larry Fitzgerald plays in Arizona. Arians has spent the offseason […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoVikings Claim De'Angelo Henderson
Just a day after releasing running back Roc Thomas, the Minnesota Vikings have claimed running back De'Angelo Henderson off waivers from the Jets. Henderson could find his way into a role behind Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison, and being Minnesota's third-string back might be the best-case scenario for the third-year back. He's not fantasy relevant […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoPau Gasol Signs With Trail Blazers
Free agent center/power forward Pau Gasol has signed a one-year deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, where he'll likely back up starting center Hassan Whiteside. Gasol's reached a point in his career where his presence on the floor isn't really that useful for anyone, and it's hard to see him having much fantasy value this […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoSixers Bring Back Furkan Korkmaz
The Philadelphia 76ers have re-signed forward Furkan Korkmaz to a two-year deal. Korkmaz appeared in 48 games for the Sixers last year and started in seven of those. He shot just 32.6 percent from three, averaging 5.8 points and 2.2 rebounds per game. Philadelphia is deeper this year, which makes it hard to see how […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRyquell Armstead Opens Training Camp On PUP List
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Ryquell Armstead (hamstring) will open training camp on the team's Physically Unable to Perform list after suffering a hamstring injury during offseason team activities. Armstead will not be able to practice until he's off the list. A physical runner, Armstead is expected to serve as the primary backup to starting […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoMarqise Lee Starts Training Camp On PUP List
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ACL) will open training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list. While all indications are that Lee will be off the PUP list and available to start the season, he'll spend at least part of training camp on the sidelines as he's unable to practice until the team […]

Justin Carter 5 years agoTravis Kelce Ready For Camp
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) didn't participate in the team's offseason team activities, but Kelce is expected to be a full go for training camp. Kelce has three-straight 1000 yard receiving seasons to his name and caught 10 touchdowns last year in Kansas City's prolific offense. He's set to be the first […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJets Waive De'Angelo Henderson
The New York Jets have waived running back De'Angelo Henderson. After adding Le'Veon Bell and Ty Montgomery in the offseason, Henderson was always a long shot to make the team's final roster, so cutting him now allows him time to latch on somewhere else. The problem is that while Henderson was a popular dynasty sleeper […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoMark Sanchez Retires
Despite starting a game for the Washington Redskins in 2018, quarterback Mark Sanchez has retired from the NFL and will move into a broadcasting role with ESPN. While Sanchez was never an elite quarterback, he did lead the Jets on some long playoff runs early in his career. He's likely still rostered in some dynasty […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoCowboys Release Allen Hurns
The Dallas Cowboys have released wide receiver Allen Hurns, who broke his fibula in a playoff game last season. It's unclear if Hurns was going to be ready to go for the Cowboys when training camp began, but he was expected to play this season. He'll have a chance to latch on somewhere else, but […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRockets Sign Ben McLemore
The Houston Rockets have signed guard Ben McLemore, who played in just 19 games for the Kings last season and averaged 3.9 points per game. While he did shoot 41.5 percent from three, McLemore is unlikely to play a key role on a Houston team that's looking to win a championship. If he makes it […]

We have three games in the WNBA on Tuesday, and while it's not the most exciting slate of games on paper, there are some games of interest, including the Aces hosting the Storm. With the All-Star break upon us, this will be the last time we see these six teams until next Tuesday. In this […]
