Aaron Judge's Playing Time To End The Season Up In The Air

The Milwaukee Brewers haven't confirmed any official plans, but outfielder Garrett Mitchell (shoulder) could come off the 60-day injured list to rejoin the team on Tuesday.

Mike Williams Has A Torn ACL

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Week 3 win over the Minnesota Vikings and is out for the rest of the season, an MRI exam confirmed, according to a source.

Giancarlo Stanton Not Playing Monday

New York Yankees outfielder/designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is getting the day off on Monday with the Arizona Diamondbacks in town.

Stanton is in a funk […]

Kevin Newman Activated And DFA'd

The Cincinnati Reds reinstated infielder Kevin Newman (oblique) from the 10-day injured list on Monday and then designated him for assignment.

Oswaldo Cabrera Starting Again Against Arizona

New York Yankees outfielder Oswaldo Cabrera is making another start in right field and is batting sixth in the order on Monday against the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks and right-hander Merrill Kelly.

New York Mets rookie catcher Francisco Alvarez (finger) appears to have avoided serious damage after getting hit on the fingers by foul balls in the game on Sunday against the Philadelphia Phillies.

Tommy Kahnle Lands On 15-Day Injured List

Mike Trout's Season Is Over

Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (wrist) was moved to the 60-day injured list on Sunday, and manager Phil Nevin said that Trout's season is over.

Hunter Renfrow Barely There In Week 3

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Hunter Renfrow continued his trend of barely being involved in the offense in the 23-18 loss to the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Renfrow was targeted just two times in the contest, catching them both for 17 total yards. The 27-year-old managed to play a season-high 37 offensive […]

Najee Harris Does Little With 19 Touches

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris continued to underwhelm in the Sunday night win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris was once again the clear backfield leader with a team-high 19 carries, but he gained only 65 yards (3.4 yards per tote) and failed to haul in his only target in the passing game. Pittsburgh's […]

Quentin Johnston's Role Could Be About To Grow

If Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams' knee injury causes him to miss significant time (potentially the rest of the season), first-round rookie receiver Quentin Johnston could be called upon much earlier than expected moving forward. Johnston played 27 percent of the offensive snaps in his NFL debut in Week 1 and just 15 […]

Adam Trautman Puts Up Donut For Second Straight Week

Denver Broncos tight end Adam Trautman is completely off the fantasy radar. His role was expected to increase as far as pass-catching duties go once the team placed Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve, but it just hasn't transpired. Even in a lopsided 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Trautman was targeted only […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Shows Off Big-Play Abilities Again

The Denver Broncos were embarrassed on Sunday in a record-breaking 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3, but rookie wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. was a bright spot for the second straight week thanks to his big-play ability. Mims caught three of his five targets for 73 yards on offense and also returned […]

Jerry Jeudy Posts Five Catches For 81 Yards

Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had a quietly productive game on Sunday in the record-breaking 70-20 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Week 3.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton led the team in catches (eight), targets (11) and receiving yards (91) while hauling in his second touchdown of the season in the 70-20 embarrassing loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3.

Samaje Perine Out-Carried By Jaleel McLaughlin

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine's fantasy value has taken a nosedive in the last two weeks. The Broncos running game never really had a chance in the 70-20 shellacking at the hands of the Miami Dolphins on Sunday in Week 3, but Perine was out-carried by rookie Jaleel McLaughlin. McLaughlin saw five carries for […]
