Latavius Murray A Very Shaky Flex Play In Week 10

Denver Broncos running back Latavius Murray has totaled 37 carries for 136 yards and two touchdowns while catching four of six targets for 10 yards in his first three games with the Broncos. He has actually out-carried "starting" back Melvin Gordon III in two of his three games, but the Broncos also added Chase Edmonds […]

Melvin Gordon III A Touchdown-Dependent RB3/Flex

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III is apparently still this team's starting running back, even though he's been out-carried by Latavius Murray in two of the last three weeks. It probably won't help that the Broncos recently acquired Chase Edmonds from the Miami Dolphins. On top of it all, Gordon is facing a Tennessee […]

Russell Wilson Comes Off Bye With A Solid Matchup

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has been the brunt of many jokes in his first year in Denver. The 33-year-old hasn't lived up to expectations and is currently the QB21 in fantasy entering Week 10 against the Tennessee Titans on the road. Wilson has completed a career-low 58.8 percent of his 228 pass attempts for […]

Chargers Waive Jerry Tillery Thursday

The Los Angeles Chargers waived former first-round defensive tackle Jerry Tillery on Thursday. Tillery also missed the Week 9 win over the Atlanta Falcons due to a back injury, and the Bolts have decided to move on in his fourth NFL season. In seven games this year, he has just eight tackles (five solo), one […]

Dodgers Nearing One-Year Deal With Clayton Kershaw

The Los Angeles Dodgers and starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw are nearing a one-year deal, according to a source. It comes after the team declined to give Kershaw the $19.65 million qualifying offer. The 34-year-old will return to the Dodgers for a 16th season in 2023. The future Hall of Fame left-hander went 12-3 with a […]

Franmil Reyes Outrighted To The Minors

The Chicago Cubs outrighted Franmil Reyes, David Bote, Steven Brault, Narciso Crook, and Anderson Espinoza to Triple-A Iowa on Thursday after they all cleared waivers. Alec Mills and Brad Wieck were also outrighted to Iowa after being activated from the 60-day injured list. Reyes began the 2022 season with the Cleveland Guardians, but he was […]

Giants Extend Qualifying Offer To Joc Pederson

The San Francisco Giants extended the $19.65 million qualifying offer to outfielder Joc Pederson on Thursday. The deal would be a big raise from the $6 million that he earned in 2022, so there's a good chance Pederson will accept the one-year deal from the Giants and return in 2023. The 30-year-old left-handed slugger was […]

Nathan Eovaldi Receives Qualifying Offer

The Boston Red Sox gave starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi a $19.65 million qualifying offer by the deadline on Thursday. If Eovaldi declines the offer, the Red Sox would receiver draft-pick compensation if he signs with another club. The right-hander earned $17 million in each of the last four seasons, and he could accept the one-year […]

Blake Martinez Announces His Retirement

Las Vegas Raiders linebacker Blake Martinez announced his retirement from the NFL on Thursday in a statement that he posted on his Instagram account. He signed with the Raiders in October and played in four games, recording 20 tackles (14 solo). The New York Giants released Martinez at final cuts in the summer. He was […]

Trevor Penning Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

New Orleans Saints rookie first-round left tackle Trevor Penning (toe) was designated to return from Injured Reserve on Thursday, opening his 21-day window for the team to officially activate him from IR. The 23-year-old rookie was put on IR in early September after having surgery on his toe, but he's nearing his NFL debut for […]

Jason Verrett Out For The Season

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Jason Verrett (Achilles) suffered a torn left Achilles tendon in practice on Wednesday and is out for the rest of the season. The former first-rounder in 2014 by the Chargers has had the worst injury luck. He was a Pro Bowler in his second year in the league in 2015, but […]

Steelers Place Chris Boswell On Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed kicker Chris Boswell (groin) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, meaning he will miss at least the next four games. In Pittsburgh's struggling offense this year, Boswell hasn't been on the fantasy radar. The 31-year-old has made 12 of his 16 field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries in seven […]

Nico Collins Puts In Another Limited Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (groin) was limited in practice again on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Collins has missed the last two games due to his groin injury, but he's giving himself a chance to return in Week 10 to face the New York Giants. The Texans offense should be […]

Jake Matthews Active For Falcons

Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews is active on Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers after a busy day. Matthews flew back to Atlanta Thursday morning for the birth of his first child but had time to fly back to Carolina in time to be active for the Week 10 contest. The 30-year-old has been […]

Chuba Hubbard Officially Active On Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) is officially active for Thursday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Hubbard will return to the field after missing the last two games with an ankle injury suffered in Week 7. The 23-year-old got the start back in Week 7 and had nine carries for […]

Yankees Considering Masataka Yoshida

The New York Yankees are considering Japanese on-base machine Masataka Yoshida, an outfielder who had a .447 on-base percentage in Nippon Professional Baseball in 2022 with the Orix Buffaloes. The Yankees need more contact-oriented, on-base hitters like Yoshida, so he could be the perfect fit in the Bronx to strengthen an already potent lineup. In […]

Robert Suarez Returns To Padres On Five-Year Deal

The San Diego Padres and relief pitcher Robert Suarez agreed on a five-year deal worth $46 million on Thursday, according to sources. The contract includes an opt-out clause after three years. Suarez opted out of his original 2023 deal after a breakout rookie season in 2022 in which he had a 2.27 ERA (3.22 FIP), […]

Nick Martinez Opts Out Of His Deal

San Diego Padres right-hander Nick Martinez opted out of his $6.5 million player option for the 2023 season and is now a free agent. The two sides had been discussing a potential restructure in recent days, but Martinez has decided to test the open market after a strong season as a swing man for the […]

Chris Bassitt Receives Qualifying Offer From Mets

The New York Mets extended the $19.65 million qualifying offer to free-agent starting pitcher Chris Bassitt on Thursday, as expected. The Mets also gave the qualifying offer to right-hander Jacob deGrom and outfielder Brandon Nimmo but didn't give one to starting pitcher Taijuan Walker. It made sense to give Bassitt the $19 million qualifying offer […]

Mets Don't Extend Qualifying Offer To Taijuan Walker

The New York Mets decided not to extend the $19.65 million qualifying offer to free-agent starting pitcher Taijuan Walker. Meanwhile, right-handers Jacob deGrom and Chris Bassitt and outfielder Brandon Nimmo all received the offer. Like deGrom and Bassitt, Walker opted out of his $6 million player option for the 2023 season and can now sign […]

Dodgers Decline Justin Turner's 2023 Option

The Los Angeles Dodgers declined their $16 million team option for the 2023 season on third baseman Justin Turner on Thursday, making him a free agent. The Dodgers are interested in re-signing him at a lower price, so there's a chance Turner won't leave the team he's spent the last nine years with. In 2022, […]

Pirates Acquire Ji-Man Choi From The Rays

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired first baseman Ji-Man Choi from the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday in exchange for minor-league pitcher Jack Hartman. The Rays are shipping Choi to Pittsburgh in his final year of arbitration eligibility. The 31-year-old left-handed slugger finished off the 2022 season with a .233/.341/.388 slash line, 11 home runs, 52 RBI, […]

Reds Acquire Nick Solak From Rangers

The Cincinnati Reds acquired infielder/outfielder Nick Solak from the Texas Rangers on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations. Solak suffered a fractured right foot in September and played in just 35 games for the Rangers in 2022. In those 35 contests, he hit just .207/.309/.329 with three home runs, four RBI, 14 runs scored, three […]

Matthew Stafford Misses Another Practice

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford (concussion) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. It remains to be seen if Stafford will be able to pass through the league's concussion protocol in time to play in Week 10 against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals. If he's not ready, backup John Wolford would get the […]

Keenan Allen, Dustin Hopkins Miss Practice Thursday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday. The beat goes on for Allen, who has been the most frustrating early round fantasy commodity in 2022. He's played in just two games and has caught six passes for 77 yards and no touchdowns, and it […]

Ezekiel Elliott, Noah Brown Limited Thursday

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (knee) and wide receiver Noah Brown (foot) were both listed as limited practice participants for the second straight day on Thursday. The Cowboys fully expect Elliott to return in Week 10 against the Green Bay Packers after he sat out in Week 8. Dallas had their bye in Week […]

Ryan Tannehill Back To A Full Practice

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, meaning he'll likely return to the starting gig under center in Week 10 against the Denver Broncos. Tannehill has missed the last two games, but he's certainly trending in the right direction this week to put an end to that two-game absence. […]

Chuba Hubbard Plans To Play On Thursday Night

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard (ankle) plans to play on Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons, barring a surprise, according to a source. Hubbard was listed as questionable for Week 10 despite practicing in full on Tuesday and Wednesday. You'll want to check back when inactives come out before Thursday's game, but in all […]

Matt Ryan Practices In Full Thursday

Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Matt Ryan (shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Thursday and will be available to interim head coach Jeff Saturday on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, if so desired. Ryan is recovering from a Grade 2 right shoulder sprain, but the Colts still plan on using […]

Deon Jackson Misses Another Practice

Indianapolis Colts running back Deon Jackson (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. Jackson is trending towards missing the Week 10 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. With Jonathan Taylor (ankle) on track to return this Sunday, Jackson won't have any relevance for fantasy lineups, even if he's active. If […]
