J.D. Martinez Returns From Stint On 10-Day IL

Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter J.D. Martinez (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list following a successful rehab assignment. In a corresponding move, infielder Michael Busch was optioned to Triple-A. The 36-year-old Martinez is enjoying a strong season in which he has 25 homers, a .370 xwOBA, a .551 xSLG, and a 54.7 […]

Trea Turner Returns From Paternity List

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner was activated from the paternity list on Friday afternoon. He's back in the starting lineup, batting second against Marlins starting pitcher Eury Perez. While Turner's .263/.313/.452 slash line hasn't quite lived up to the offseason hype, he remains a dominant baserunner and has started to turn a corner offensively. All […]

Bo Bichette Activated From Injured List Friday

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (right quad) was activated from the 10-day injured list on Friday afternoon. The 25-year-old had been out since Aug. 27. He's slashing .314/.344/.488 with 18 homers this season, meaning his activation is great news for the Blue Jays and fantasy managers like. He should return to the starting lineup […]

Mookie Betts Expected To Miss Weekend Series

Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts (foot) remains sore and is expected to miss the upcoming weekend series versus the Washington Nationals. Betts was spotted on crutches Thursday after fouling a ball off his left foot, and while X-rays came back negative, he'll need a couple of games off. Manager Dave Roberts expressed optimism that […]

Byron Buxton Meeting With Team To Discuss Rehab

Minnesota Twins outfielder Byron Buxton (right knee) is scheduled to meet with the front office and medical staff on Friday, per Bobby Nightengale of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. Buxton has been on the injured list since Aug. 1 and recently had his rehab assignment paused due to an injury setback. The 29-year-old is a key contributor […]

Jake Moody Off Injury Report, Will Make NFL Debut Sunday

San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody (quad) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After being limited in practice this week, the rookie is on track to make his NFL debut. He's a fringe top-12 option in fantasy football but is worth rostering if you're looking for an […]

George Kittle Questionable To Play Sunday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) is questionable to play in Sunday's season opener versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was limited in practice all week long and could be a true game-time decision. The 29-year-old is dominant when healthy, but that qualifier is key. Kittle has missed 18 games over the last three […]

Treylon Burks Removed From Injury Report, Will Play Week 1

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks (knee) has been removed from the injury report and will play in Week 1. This comes as no surprise after Burks practiced in full all week long. He'll start opposite DeAndre Hopkins, making them both WR3/FLEX options in fantasy football. Tennessee is taking on the Saints, who have a […]

Zack Moss Officially Questionable For Week 1

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss (arm) is listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was limited in practice all week long. At this point, Moss' status is up in the air, and he could be a true game-time decision. If Moss does play, he's expected to operate in a committee […]

Kendre Miller Does Not Practice Friday, Questionable For Week 1

New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans despite not practicing at all this week. It's a bit surprising to see the Saints are leaving the door open for Miller, a rookie, to play after failing to practice for three consecutive days, but perhaps […]

Marquise Brown, Zach Ertz Questionable For Week 1

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) and tight end Zach Ertz (knee) are listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Washington Commanders. The two playmakers both practiced in a limited capacity all week long, offering very little insight into whether they'll be available for Sunday's game. Between the uncertainty of their statuses and […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Questionable To Play Week 1

Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh), who is listed at the "joker" position on the team's official depth chart, is officially questionable for Week 1. The fact that he has been a limited participant in practice all week long offers very little insight into whether he may or may not play. With that said, […]

Darren Waller Questionable For Giants Debut

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 1 versus the Dallas Cowboys. He popped up on the injury report Friday after practicing in a limited capacity. Fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on his status heading into Sunday's games, but the Giants' 8:20 p.m. ET […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Doubtful For Week 1

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys after being limited in practice all week long. Injuries held Robinson to just six games as a rookie last year, and although he caught 23 passes for 227 yards, he should be avoided in fantasy football until he […]

Rashod Bateman At Full Speed, Ready To Play Sunday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) is "full speed and ready to go," head coach John Harbaugh told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Bateman hasn't played since Week 8 last season when he suffered a Lisfranc injury that required surgery. The Ravens' receiver room is a little more crowded now than it was then, […]

Chase Young Questionable To Play Week 1

Washington Commanders pass rusher Chase Young (stinger) is officially questionable to play Week 1 versus the Arizona Cardinals. Young has been dealing with the stinger for a while now, which is a little surprising considering this type of injury tends to be short-lived. Nevertheless, there's a chance it could hold Young out of action Sunday. […]

Terry McLaurin Cleared To Play Week 1

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (toe) practiced in full for the second consecutive day and has been removed from the injury report. He will play in Week 1 against the Arizona Cardinals. Given Arizona's lackluster expectations heading into the season, Washington has a chance to put up some major production on Sunday, and McLaurin […]

Adam Thielen Returns To Practice, Questionable For Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen (ankle) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after being sidelined on Thursday. He is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. With DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) ruled out, Thielen should see an uptick in volume this week. The same goes for Jonathan Mingo, […]

DJ Chark Jr. Ruled Out For Week 1

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr. (hamstring) returned to practice in a limited capacity on Friday after being sidelined the last two days. However, Chark has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. His absence should lead to significant volume for Adam Thielen (ankle), who is listed as questionable, Jonathan Mingo, Terrace […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Dealing With Stomach Bug, Should Play Sunday

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (illness) missed Friday's practice due to a stomach bug, according to Karen Guregian of MassLive. However, the expectation is that Stevenson will play Sunday versus Philadelphia. The Oklahoma product emerged as a strong dual-threat option last season, amassing 1,040 rushing and 421 receiving yards en route to finishing […]

Cooper Kupp IR Stint Is "Definite Possibility"

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring) could be placed on injured reserve this Saturday. When asked about Kupp potentially requiring an IR stint, head coach Sean McVay said, "I would say there is a definite possibility." We should find out by 4 p.m. ET on Saturday whether the Rams make this move. If […]

Romeo Doubs Questionable For Week 1 Versus Bears

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. He was unable to practice on Wednesday before upgrading to a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. Green Bay will hope he can suit up since Christian Watson (hamstring) has already been ruled out. Regardless […]

Christian Watson Ruled Out For Week 1

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Bears. He was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday due to the injury and evidently won't be healthy in time for kickoff on Sunday. With Romeo Doubs (hamstring) questionable, we could see a heavy reliance […]

Dax Milne Placed On Injured Reserve

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dax Milne (groin) has been placed on injured reserve. He had missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday, making it highly unlikely he'd be available for Week 1. Now, with his placement on IR, he's ineligible to return until Week 5 at the earliest. Milne wasn't a major contributor in the passing […]

Joe Flacco Hoping To Sign With NFL Team

Free agent quarterback Joe Flacco is still looking for an NFL contract and believes teams will be interested in signing him once the season begins. "I can still play," he told Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. "When people are really pressed to win some games, if they have to call on somebody, then they'd be more […]

Kadarius Toney Still Has Quarterback's Trust

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney struggled on Thursday night, catching just one of five targets for one yard. He also had three drops, including one that went into the hands of a Lions defender and resulted in a pick-six. Despite Toney's costly mistakes in the 21-20 loss, quarterback Patrick Mahomes emphasized that he […]

Tank Dell To Return Punts In Season Opener

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is not listed as a starter on the team's official pre-Week 1 depth chart. Instead, Robert Woods will start opposite Nico Collins, with Dell presumably third in the pecking order. Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports that Dell will operate as the primary punt returner ahead of […]

Dolphins Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 1

The Miami Dolphins' defense should be avoided in all fantasy leagues as they take on the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1. Not only did Miami's already-mediocre unit lose some of its firepower following a meniscus injury to Jalen Ramsey, but the Chargers' offense is quite dominant with the likes of Justin Herbert, Austin Ekeler, […]

Jason Sanders A Fringe Fantasy Option In Week 1

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders is a borderline top-12 fantasy kicker heading into Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Sanders was solid at times last season, but never enough to solidify himself as a stable fantasy option week in and week out. Heading into the 2023 campaign, Sanders' upside gets a boost thanks to […]

Durham Smythe Not On Fantasy Radar

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe is not a viable fantasy option heading into Week 1 against the Los Angeles Chargers. While Smythe is listed first on the depth chart following Mike Gesicki's offseason departure, the 28-year-old needs to show a steady flow of production in the passing game before he can even be considered […]
