Tommy La Stella Hopes To Return This Weekend

Los Angeles Angels second baseman Tommy La Stella (leg) ran the bases and hopes to be able to DH this weekend. La Stella was slashing an impressive .300/.353/.495 batting atop the Angels lineup before a broken tibia landed him on the injured list back in July. Even if he plays, La Stella won't be an […]

Cole Hamels Throws Bullpen Tuesday

Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Cole Hamels (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Tuesday in the hopes of coming back to make one more start this season. Hamels played catch Sunday and apparently felt good enough to progress to pitching off a mound. Hamels could be shut down if the Cubs are eliminated from playoff contention, but […]

Edwin Encarnacion Hopes To Be Back Wednesday

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) is hoping to return Wednesday at Tampa Bay, but manager Aaron Boone said Friday at Texas is more likely. Encarnacion has been out since Sept. 12 with a left oblique strain but had four home runs in eight games this month, so if he gets back on […]

Gary Sanchez Hoping To Return This Weekend

New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez (groin) is aiming to play in the final series of the regular season this weekend at Texas. Sanchez was not placed on the injured list due to expanded September rosters, but has not played since September 12 because of a groin strain. Sanchez has had a strong season homering […]

Jamal Adams Scores Touchdown For Jets Defense

The New York Jets Defense got shredded by Tom Brady and the Patriots but salvaged their fantasy day late. With the Patriots up 30-7 in the fourth quarter backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham came into the game. His third pass hit Jamal Adams right between the numbers and the star safety returned it 61-yards for a […]

Ryan Griffin Makes One Catch Sunday

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin caught his only target for five yards in a loss to the Patriots Sunday afternoon. Griffin now has four catches for 15 yards on the season and continues to be a non-factor in fantasy. Griffin had an opportunity to start with Chris Herndon serving a four-game suspension but […]

Sam Ficken Converts Two Extra Points

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken made two extra points and didn't attempt a field goal in a loss to the Patriots Sunday. Ficken has now made all three attempts as a Jet after signing with the team prior to Week 2. That should be enough to keep Ficken employed with the team given the […]

Jamison Crowder Has Quiet Day Vs Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder made two catches for 25 yards Sunday afternoon against the Patriots. The Jets struggled to move the ball all afternoon with Luke Falk making his first career start as they had only 105 net yards against a strong Patriots Defense. Crowder made 14 catches in Week 1 but […]

Braxton Berrios Leads Jets In Targets

New York Jets wide receiver Braxton Berrios made two catches for 29 yards in a loss to the Patriots Sunday. Berrios led the Jets with six targets but couldn't get much done against a stout Patriots Defense. Berrios served as the team's third wide receiver today, but would see his role decrease if Demaryius Thomas […]

Robby Anderson Silent Against Patriots

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson made three catches for 11 yards in a loss to the Patriots Sunday. Anderson was targeted five times but could get nothing done as the Jets had just 105 yards of total offense with third-string QB Luke Falk making his first career start. Of all the Jets offensive […]

Luke Falk Struggles In New England

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk was dreadful Sunday in New England completing 12 of 22 passes for 98 yards. Falk didn't lead a touchdown drive and threw an interception in the ugly loss. Falk was serviceable in Week 2 when he was forced into action, but the Patriots Defense completely dominated today sacking Falk […]

Le'Veon Bell Gains 63 Yards In Loss

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell carried the ball 18 times for 35 yards and hauled in all four of his targets for 28 yards against the Patriots on Sunday. A 63-yard day is disappointing for fantasy owners, but considering the Jets only gained 105 yards of offense total things could have been worse […]

Demaryius Thomas Not Practicing Again Friday

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (knee, hamstring) will not practice again Friday, making him unlikely to suit up Sunday in New England. Thomas made only one catch Monday night against the Browns before departing with an injury and has not practiced yet this week. The Jets have their bye next week, so it […]

Josh Bellamy Could Be Third Receiver Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Josh Bellamy could see an expanded role this Sunday at the Patriots. Bellamy played only six snaps in Week 1 but upped that number to 45 snaps this past Monday against Cleveland and could be in line for more work this week with Demaryius Thomas (hamstring/knee) unlikely to play this […]

Jets Defense Should Not Be Started This Week

The New York Jets Defense faces one of the toughest matchups the NFL has to offer this Sunday, a road game in New England. Through two weeks the Patriots offense has scored 76 points, the second-most in the league. Additionally, the Jets could be without star middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (groin) and starting defensive lineman […]

Jamison Crowder A Flex Option On Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder will look to bounce back Sunday against the Patriots after the Browns held him in check Monday night. Crowder had a whopping 14 catches in Week 1, but was held to just four receptions for 40 yards Monday night and now faces a tough road matchup with third-string […]

Sam Ficken Not Recommended On Sunday

New York Jets kicker Sam Ficken will make his second start on Sunday after being signed prior to last week's game against the Browns. The Jets cut kicker Kaare Vedvik after struggling mightily in Week 1 and signed Ficken after trying out multiple kickers last week. In the game Monday, Ficken converted his lone field […]

Ty Montgomery Still Looking For More Work

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery has been a non-factor in the offense through two weeks. Montgomery became a hot name early last week when starter Le'Veon Bell was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but Bell wound up playing Monday and out-touched Montgomery 31-6. Through two weeks, Montgomery has only five carries […]

Le'Veon Bell A Starting Option Despite Tough Matchup

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell will face a tough test on Sunday against a Patriots Defense that is second in the league in allowing only 37 rushing yards per game, and they've only allowed three points through two weeks. The Jets have had a hard time getting the running game going, as Bell […]

Luke Falk Ready For First Career Start

New York Jets quarterback Luke Falk is confident heading into his first NFL start despite facing one of the worst matchups possible, an away game at New England. Falk served as a backup in Miami last year so he knows Adam Gase's offense and Gase said they are prepared to let Falk throw downfield more […]

Robby Anderson Faces Tough Test Sunday

New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson is in line for a tough matchup Sunday in New England against the Patriots. Anderson has been disappointing through two weeks with only seven catches for 104 yards and no touchdowns. Now he'll have to match up against a Patriots Defense that has owned Anderson in his career. […]

J.T. Realmuto Goes 0-For-5 Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto had a rough game, going 0-for-5 with a strikeout Thursday against the Braves.

Mark Melancon Logs 12th Save

Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Mark Melancon pitched a scoreless ninth inning with two strikeouts to pick up his 12th save of the season Thursday against the Phillies. Called on to protect a one-run lead, Melancon struck out Jose Pirela and Cesar Hernandez before getting J.T. Realmuto to ground out to end the game. Melancon has […]

Kyle Gibson Pulled In Second Inning

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Kyle Gibson allowed three runs in 1 2/3 innings in a no-decision against the Royals Thursday. Gibson couldn't find the plate in this game issuing four walks, including two with the bases loaded. The rough outing raises his ERA to an unappealing 4.88 and he's now given up nine earned runs […]

Cesar Hernandez Has Three Hits Thursday

Philadelphia Phillies second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 3-for-5 with an RBI in a loss to the Braves Thursday afternoon. Hernandez is gaining fantasy value late in the season as he's batting .363 since September 7 and manager Gabe Kapler has noticed batting Hernandez leadoff in four of the last six games. For the season Hernandez […]

Edwin Encarnacion Does Drills In Outfield

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) ran sprints and did agility drills in the outfield before the game Thursday against the Angels. Encarnacion is making progress as he recovers from a strained oblique but still faces long odds to return in the regular season as it's been announced he won't swing a bat […]

Jose Ramirez Takes Batting Practice Thursday

Cleveland Indians third baseman Jose Ramirez (wrist) took batting practice on the field before the game against the Tigers on Thursday. Ramirez has been out with a right wrist injury since August 25 and is considered unlikely to make it back before the end of the regular season. Still, with the Indians in a heated […]

Aaron Nola Rocked By Braves

Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Aaron Nola allowed five runs in five innings and took his sixth loss of the season Thursday in Atlanta. There was traffic all over the bases as Nola allowed nine hits and two walks while only striking out four on the afternoon. This is now the second time in his last […]

Hector Neris Logs 28th Save

Philadelphia Phillies relief pitcher Hector Neris pitched a scoreless ninth inning to pick up his 28th save of the season Wednesday night against the Braves. Neris was called on to protect a three-run lead and did so with little drama striking out the first two batters he faced before getting Dansby Swanson to line out […]

Bryce Harper Homers, Steals Base

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Bryce Harper stuffed the stat sheet Wednesday night, going 1-for-3 with a two-run homer, his 32nd of the season. Harper also walked in the game and stole his 14th base to cap off a big night for fantasy owners. Harper has struggled lately with just a .233 batting average and a .737 […]
