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.

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 […]

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 […]

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee (ACL) will open training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

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 […]

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 […]

While Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) and defensive end J.J.

Justin Carter 6 years agoChargers Not Ready To Discuss Melvin Gordon Contract
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon recently suggested he wants to be traded if the Chargers don't offer him a contract extension, and on Monday word came that the Chargers do not currently have interest in discussing Gordon's contract situation.

Justin Carter 6 years agoVikings Release Roc Thomas
The Minnesota Vikings have parted ways with running back Roc Thomas, who was set to miss the first three games of the season after being suspended for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The move isn't a huge surprise, though Minnesota is now fairly shallow at running back beyond Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison. Thomas […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJets Sign Ryan Griffin
The New York Jets have signed tight end Ryan Griffin, who spent the past six seasons with the Houston Texans. Griffin had 24 catches for 305 yards last season. While he'll ultimately be a backup to Chris Herndon IV, Griffin could be in line for an increase in usage over the first four games while […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJohn Wall Not Expected To Play Next Season
Washington Wizards guard John Wall tore his Achilles in February and is expected to miss the entire 2019-2020 season. While the timetable for Achilles rehab could theoretically put Wall on track to return near the end of next season, the Wizards plan to be cautious with their point guard. Wall should be off the fantasy […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJarran Reed Suspended Six Games
Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed was suspended six games for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Reed had 10.5 sacks last year and was emerging as one of the league's top interior linemen. Before the suspension, Reed was one of the top IDP options among all defensive tackles, but with the depth […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoKostas Antetokounmpo Claimed By Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have claimed forward Kostas Antetokounmpo off waivers from the Mavericks. Antetokounmpo is on a two-way contract, which will restrict how long he's able to be on the Lakers main roster this season, and it's highly unlikely that the team will give him minutes even when he's available, because the Lakers are […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoDeAndre Carter Placed On Active/PUP List
Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter was placed on the active/PUP list for undisclosed reasons. Carter enters camp looking to lock down a role as Houston's fourth receiver, but he won't be able to practice until the team removes him from the list, which could put him behind in preparation for the upcoming season. Carter […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoKahale Warring Placed On Active/Non-Football Injury List
While it's unclear what led to him being placed on it, Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring will open training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. What this essentially means is that Warring is dealing with some injury that wasn't sustained as part of his NFL duties and that he won't be available to […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoDeAndre Hopkins Placed On Active/PUP List
The Houston Texans have placed wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on the active/PUP list. What this means is that Hopkins, who's been dealing with a shoulder injury, will be unable to practice with the team as long as he's on the list, but Hopkins can be activated from the list at any time. There should be […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJulio Jones Reports To Training Camp
Rumors that Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones might hold out have turned out to not be true, as Jones has reported to training camp. Jones and the team will continue to talk about a long-term extension for the wideout, but it doesn't look like there's any danger of Jones missing time or getting behind […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoJordan Thomas Poised To Start At Tight End
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas recently suggested that Houston will use a committee approach at tight end with Thomas, Jordan Akins, and rookie Kahale Warring, but Thomas is expected to be the leader of that committee and the player most likely to be a weapon in Houston's passing game. Thomas caught four touchdowns last […]

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Trinity Benson worked with the team's first-team offense in 11-on-11 drills on Saturday, a move that suggests the speedy slot receiver could make Denver's roster.

Want to see me say some dirty words on this website? Alright, here we go: Running. Back. Committee. Please don't go report me to my editors! I'm sorry! But while we're here and we're talking about all these dirty things, let's talk about running back committees. Are they good for fantasy owners? Nah. Are they a […]

After missing all of the 2018 season with a torn ACL tear, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee is expected to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. But Jaguars.com writer John Oehser says that Lee being in the team's starting lineup in Week 1 is a "longshot," as he'll need to spend […]
Justin Carter 6 years agoBucks Sign Kyle Korver
The Milwaukee Bucks have signed free agent guard Kyle Korver to a one-year deal. The veteran sharpshooter is a career 42.9 percent shooter from deep and gives the Bucks an important deep threat to help space the floor for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Korver will likely be decent minutes off the bench, though at his age he's […]

Free agent guard Justin Holiday has signed a one-year deal with the Indiana Pacers, where he joins his brother Aaron. Last year, Holiday split time between Chicago and Memphis, playing in 82 games with 77 starts and putting up averages of 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds on 38.6 percent shooting.
