Texans Move On From Chris Conley
Houston Texans wide receiver Chris Conley was released by the organization on Tuesday. He re-signed with the team in March, but apparently didn't show enough to warrant keeping on the roster. Now, the Texans only have four active wide receivers on their roster as they head into Week 1. Possibly, the team decides to bring... Read More
Packers Release Patrick Taylor
Green Bay Packers running back Patrick Taylor has been released by the organization on Tuesday. This was an odd move considering Taylor was the third string back in Green Bay. Now, the Packers only have Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon in their backfield. Possibly, the Packers decide to bring back Taylor after moving around other... Read More
Keelan Cole Cut By Raiders
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Keelan Cole has been released by the organization. This is a bit of a shocking move to see Cole getting released. The Raiders decided to keep Mack Hollins, Tyron Johnson, and DJ Turner over Cole. Last season, Cole hauled in 28 receptions for 449 receiving yards, and one touchdown in... Read More
Michael Gallup Officially Avoids PUP List
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) officially won't be placed on the PUP list. This was the expectation, but the team has made it official now. The 26-year-old won't be ready for the season opener, but should return within the first four weeks of the regular season. Once he's fully healthy, Gallup is expected... Read More
Kenneth Walker III Slowly Progressing
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (hernia) is reportedly making progress. Head coach Pete Carroll mentioned that the Seahawks are taking it one day at a time with Walker. The rookie back is recovering from a hernia injury that knocked him out for the entire preseason. It sounds like his status for Week 1... Read More
Gleyber Torres Getting The Night Off
New York Yankees infielder Gleyber Torres (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Angels. This appears to be a routine day off for the young infielder. Torres is hitting .177/.202/.250 over his last 24 games in August. He could certainly use a day off to help get him... Read More
Yasmani Grandal Likely To Be Activated On Wednesday
Chicago White Sox catcher Yasmani Grandal (knee) is expected to be activated from the injured list on Wednesday. The 33-year-old has been hitting the ball well during his minor league rehab assignment. Although, it's uncertain how much he'll be able to catch due to his lingering left knee issue. Eloy Jimenez has been serving as... Read More
Isaac Paredes Scratched On Tuesday
Tampa Bay Rays infielder Isaac Paredes (undisclosed) has been scratched from the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Miami Marlins. The organization has not given a reason as to why Paredes has been removed from the lineup. Hopefully, this is only a minor injury, because Paredes has been hot at the plate. In the... Read More
Jorge Polanco Remains Out On Tuesday
Minnesota Twins infielder Jorge Polanco (knee) will remain out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Boston Red Sox. The switch-hitting infielder is dealing with left knee soreness. He hasn't been able to play since Saturday, but is hopeful to avoid a trip to the injured list. In the meantime, Nick Gordon will... Read More
Carlos Carrasco Could Return Soon
New York Mets starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco (oblique) could return by the end of the week. The right-hander was able to throw a 55-pitch simulated game without any issues on Monday. That being said, it sounds like the Mets are going to allow Carrasco to skip a minor league rehab assignment. The right-hander has been... Read More
Ken Waldichuk To Make Debut On Thursday
Oakland Athletics starting pitcher Ken Waldichuk will be called up to make the start against the Washington Nationals on Thursday. Manager Mark Kotsay confirmed that the left-hander will be one of the team's September 1st callups. The A's acquired Waldichuk as part of the Frankie Montas deal from earlier in the season. The left-hander is... Read More
Clayton Kershaw To Return On Thursday
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Clayton Kershaw (back) will return to the starting rotation on Thursday, according to manager Dave Roberts. The veteran left-hander was able to throw a successful 70-pitch simulated game over the weekend. He has been dealing with lower back pain, but appears ready to return against the New York Mets on... Read More
Luis Robert Not In The Lineup
Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert (wrist) is out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Kansas City Royals. The young outfielder hasn't started a game since last Thursday due to a lingering wrist issue. Although, it sounds like Robert is making steady progress. The hope is that Robert can avoid the injured... Read More
Nick Castellanos Absent On Tuesday
Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Nick Castellanos (toe) remains out of the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. It sounds like the right-handed slugger is still working through a case of turf toe. This shouldn't sideline him for long and it sounds like he is available off the bench on Tuesday. Fantasy managers might... Read More
Lions Cut Tom Kennedy
Detroit Lions wide receiver Tom Kennedy has been cut by the organization on Monday. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Kennedy had an uphill battle to begin the preseason. Despite that, Kennedy played well, hauling in 16 receptions for 143 yards and a couple of touchdowns. That still wasn't enough for the Lions to... Read More
Panthers Bring In Five Kickers
The Carolina Panthers are looking for a new kicker after Zane Gonzalez (groin) suffered a significant injury. The organization reportedly brought in Taylor Bertolet, Brian Johnson, Chase McLaughlin, Eddy Pineiro, and Matthew Wright for workouts. The Panthers are unsure if Gonzalez will miss the entire season, but it sounds like he won't be ready for... Read More
La'Mical Perine Waived By Jets
New York Jets running back La'Mical Perine has been waived by the organization on Monday. The former fourth round pick rushed for 263 yards and two touchdowns through 14 games with the Jets. He only carried the ball 72 times, so he wasn't given much of a chance to succeed. Perine is only 24 years... Read More
Tim Boyle Released By Lions
Detroit Lions quarterback Tim Boyle has been cut by the organization. The 27-year-old apparently lost the battle for the backup spot to David Blough. This move saves the Lions $1.75 million in cap space. Possibly, the Lions decide to bring back Boyle on a cheaper deal. For now, Blough is expected to be the backup... Read More
Chris Streveler Released By Jets
New York Jets quarterback Chris Streveler has been waived by the organization. This is a shame considering Streveler played well during the preseason. The 27-year-old completed 24-of-33 passing attempts for 277 yards with five touchdowns and one interception during the preseason. Sadly, the Jets don't have room on their roster with Zach Wilson, Joe Flacco,... Read More
Blue Jays Bring Back Bradley Zimmer
The Toronto Blue Jays claimed outfielder Bradley Zimmer off waivers from the Philadelphia Phillies on Monday. The former top prospect spent some time with the Phillies before getting cut by the team. Zimmer will now return to Toronto and serve as depth in the outfield after playing for them earlier this year. The 29-year-old will... Read More
Teoscar Hernandez Not Playing Versus Cubs
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez (rest) is out of the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Chicago Cubs. Hernandez returned to the lineup on Sunday after missing the two games prior due to a left foot contusion. The assumption is that his absence is just rest and not his foot issue acting up.... Read More
Tony Gonsolin Expects To Have Minimal Injured List Stint
Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Tony Gonsolin (forearm) was placed on the 15-day injured list on Monday. The right-hander mentioned that he felt some tightness after his last start. Luckily, Gonsolin won't need an MRI and this doesn't sound too serious of an injury. He believes that he'll be ready to return to the field... Read More
Corbin Carroll Recalled On Monday
Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Corbin Carroll has been officially recalled ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. This was the expectation as the 22-year-old is clearly ready for the big league level. He was hitting .307/.425/.611 with 24 home runs and 11 stolen bases in the minors this season. The assumption is that Carroll... Read More
Chase Anderson To Start On Monday
Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Chase Anderson has been recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Monday. The right-hander signed a minor league deal with the organization last week. The 34-year-old will get a spot start here, but it's uncertain if he'll stick in the rotation long term. Regardless, Anderson shouldn't be viewed as a reliable fantasy option.... Read More
Tyler Allgeier Projected As Third-String Back
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier opened up some eyes during the preseason. The rookie back scored two touchdowns during their preseason finale, which was great to see. Right now, The Athletic has Allgeier projected as the team's third-down back. Cordarrelle Patterson is listed as the starter with Damien Williams as the primary backup. The... Read More
Logan Thomas Likely To Return By Week 2
Washington Commanders tight end Logan Thomas (knee) was activated off the PUP list early last week. He has done a fantastic job of working his way back from a torn ACL and MCL that he suffered in December. There is some hope that Thomas could get on the field for the season opener. However, it... Read More
Kadarius Toney Doesn't Play During Preseason Finale
New York Giants wide receiver Kadarius Toney (knee/hamstring) sat out during their preseason finale on Sunday. Surprisingly, Toney dressed and warmed up, but didn't see the field at all. Head coach Brian Daboll mentioned that Toney wasn't ready to play, which makes it tough to know his status going into cut day. Last season, Toney... Read More
Mac Jones Could Struggle In Second Season
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones has been fairly mediocre throughout the preseason. To be fair, the Patriots as an entire offense have looked rough during their three preseason games. There's still time to work out the issues, but Jones might not be the player they thought he was. Chad Graff of The Athletic believes... Read More
Rhamondre Stevenson Likely To Have Extended Role
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could be in for a heavier workload this season. Fellow running back Ty Montgomery (ankle) went down during the preseason finale on Friday. The organization has been vague about Montgomery, so it's uncertain how much time he'll miss. That being said, Stevenson could end up as the primary... Read More
Ozzie Albies To Begin Rehab Assignment Soon
Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies (foot) is expected to begin a minor league rehab assignment this week. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since June due to a broken foot. He has been progressing nicely and it sounds like he is only days away from getting back into game action. The expectation is that he'll... Read More
