Jason Peters Has A Scheduled Visit With The Cowboys
Free-agent tackle Jason Peters will make a stop in Dallas for a visit with the Cowboys. The veteran suited up for the Chicago Bears last season, starting 15 games. He's also a multi-time All-Pro. While Peters may not start if he gets signed, he adds depth for a team that is expected to be without... Read More
Lions Waive Jermar Jefferson
The Lions have waived running back Jermar Jefferson. The 2021 seventh-round pick appeared in seven games for Detroit last season, finishing with 74 yards and two touchdowns off 15 carries. Jefferson wasn't expected to contribute much on the fantasy end this year with D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams holding things down in the backfield, so... Read More
Jimmie Ward Placed On Injured Reserve
San Francisco 49ers defensive back Jimmie Ward (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve list on Wednesday. As a result, he will miss at least four games, although he could be out longer. The veteran has played his entire career with the Niners, accumulating 401 total tackles (303 solo), 39 passes defensed, six forced fumbles,... Read More
Chet Holmgren Has Successful Surgery
Oklahoma City Thunder center Chet Holmgren (foot) underwent successful surgery. The rookie recently suffered a Lisfranc injury during a Pro-Am game in Seattle while attempting to block a dunk from LeBron James. Instead, Holmgren will now miss the entire 2022-23 campaign. However, his status beyond that is up in the air.
Markieff Morris Heading To Brooklyn
Free-agent forward Markieff Morris is heading to the Nets on a one-year deal. The 32-year-old averaged 7.6 points and 2.6 boards with the Heat last season, although he played only 17 games due to injury. While the veteran shouldn't be a routine fantasy contributor, he has a chance to earn a meaningful role in the... Read More
RJ Barrett Receives Contract Extension
New York Knicks forward RJ Barrett agreed to a four-year, $107 million extension with the team on Tuesday. With incentives, he could earn as much as $120 million. Last season, the 22-year-old averaged a career-high 20.0 points while adding 5.8 rebounds and 3.0 assists. Barrett's new deal is somewhat surprising, primarily since the Jazz had... Read More
Russell Westbrook Would Have Meaningful Role If Not Dealt
Los Angeles Lakers guard Russell Westbrook could be traded ahead of the 2022-23 season. The team recently acquired Patrick Beverley from Utah, fueling further speculation about Westbrook's future in L.A. However, NBA insider Marc Stein revealed that if the 2017 MVP isn't moved, new head coach Darvin Ham is committed to finding a meaningful role... Read More
Nets, Markieff Morris Moving Forward In Talks
The Nets and free-agent forward Markieff Morris have "moved into advanced discussions." Brooklyn has the veteran on the radar, especially with the team looking to add depth underneath the basket. The 32-year-old has averaged 10.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 1.6 assists throughout his career. While Morris probably won't be a consistent fantasy contributor if he... Read More
Christian Koloko Signs With Toronto
Center Christian Koloko agreed to a three-year, $5.24 million contract with Toronto. The team selected the 22-year-old in the second round of the 2022 NBA Draft after suiting up for the Arizona Wildcats at the collegiate level. The Raptors lack quality depth underneath the rim, so if Koloko plays his cards right, he could work... Read More
Blazers Part Ways With Didi Louzada
Portland has waived forward Didi Louzada. The 23-year-old began his career with the Pelicans after the team selected him in the second round of the 2019 NBA Draft. He didn't see the floor much during his time in New Orleans and was traded to the Trail Blazers in the deal that sent C.J. McCollum to... Read More
Raptors Waive Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk
The Raptors have waived guard Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk. The 25-year-old has suited up for four teams since he was drafted in 2018 and has averaged 6.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 1.4 assists throughout his career. With that said, his fantasy value is non-existent, and it likely won't change if he finds work ahead of the 2022-23... Read More
John Wall Looking Good This Offseason
Los Angeles Clippers guard John Wall has looked good during offseason workouts, according to NBA insider Marc Stein. The veteran received a buyout from his former team, the Houston Rockets, and after clearing waivers, he signed with L.A. Wall, who didn't play in 2021-22, has averaged 19.1 points, 9.1 assists, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.7 steals... Read More
Sam Hauser Could Get More Playing Time
Boston Celtics forward Sam Hauser may receive more playing time to start the season. Danilo Gallinari (knee) tore his meniscus during a FIBA World Cup qualifier, so the door could be open for Hauser to benefit. He agreed to a three-year, $6 million contract in the offseason after averaging 2.5 points and 1.1 rebounds while... Read More
Bogdan Bogdanovic Doing On-Court Work
Atlanta Hawks guard Bogdan Bogdanovic (knee) is currently doing on-court work in Serbia after undergoing right knee surgery back in May. He is moving in a positive direction and is anticipated to be ready for the preseason, although there's still a chance he won't be. The oft-injured 30-year-old played 63 games last season and averaged... Read More
Gary Harris Has A Torn Meniscus
Orlando Magic guard Gary Harris (knee) suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee. He will undergo further testing, with surgery remaining a possibility. Harris was traded to Orlando from Denver in March 2021 and signed a two-year, $26 million contract extension in June. Although the veteran isn't expected to start this season, he should... Read More
Nets Ink Yuta Watanabe To Non-Guaranteed Deal
Free-agent forward Yuta Watanabe agreed to a one-year contract with Brooklyn on Sunday. The 27-year-old has four professional seasons under his belt, suiting up for the Grizzlies and Raptors and averaging 3.8 points and 2.5 rebounds per game. It's a non-guaranteed deal, so there's a good chance he won't make the regular season roster. Yet,... Read More
Danilo Gallinari Sustains Meniscus Tear
Boston Celtics forward Danilo Gallinari (knee) suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee during a FIBA World Cup qualifier on Saturday. His prognosis didn't look favorable when the injury occurred. However, after further tests and an MRI, he didn't sustain any damage to the surrounding ligaments or ACL. This is certainly good news. Yet,... Read More
Denzel Mims May Not Be Done With Jets
New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims recently requested to be traded. The team has already received a few calls on him. However, while many may see things differently, head coach Robert Saleh still views the wideout as a member of this year's roster. "Like I've said, he's one of our best receivers, and he's... Read More
Team Not Overly Concerned About T.J. Watt's Injury
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (knee) didn't return to Sunday's preseason matchup against the Detroit Lions. The team isn't overly concerned, with head coach Mike Tomlin reporting the superstar is "fine" while adding he might have returned if the injury happened during the regular season. However, fantasy managers will remain uneasy until they see him... Read More
Najee Harris Confirms Camp Injury
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (foot) confirmed he has battled a sprained Lisfranc since training camp. He's been dealing with it for a month, so considering an injury of this magnitude takes roughly six weeks to heal, it shouldn't be a factor when the Steelers open the season on September 11 against the Cincinnati... Read More
Diontae Johnson Is "Fine" After Preseason Exit
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (shoulder) is "fine," according to head coach Mike Tomlin, adding that the wideout might have returned if the injury occurred during the regular season. While the latest report is encouraging, there should be a more definitive update regarding Johnson's health within the next few days. However, unless his condition... Read More
Tyrod Taylor Should Be Fine
New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor should be fine, according to head coach Brian Daboll. The veteran was carted off the field during Sunday's preseason showdown versus the Jets after taking a hard shot from defensive lineman Micheal Clemons. There should be a more definitive update regarding Taylor's Week 1 availability sometime soon. However, if... Read More
Robert Tonyan Ready For Team Drills
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan (knee) is participating in Sunday's team drills, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Tonyan tore his ACL during a meeting with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8 of last season. He came off the PUP list a few weeks ago, so this current update certainly makes it possible... Read More
Trey Flowers To Sign With Miami
Free-agent linebacker Trey Flowers is joining the Dolphins. He began his career with the Patriots, helping the franchise secure multiple Super Bowl victories. He then signed with the Lions in 2019, where he played his last three seasons before the team released him during the offseason.

Bisi Johnson Suffers Another ACL Tear
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Bisi Johnson (knee) tore his ACL during Saturday's preseason contest against the Denver Broncos. After missing all of last season with the same injury, Johnson will be sidelined for another. The 25-year-old had a decent rookie campaign in 2019, finishing with 31 catches for 294 yards and three touchdowns. However, his... Read More
Anthony Schwartz Won't Be Cut
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Anthony Schwartz won't be cut, according to head coach Kevin Stefanski. Schwartz has had issues with drops throughout the preseason, with three occurring during Saturday's exhibition versus the Chicago Bears. However, despite his poor showings, Stefanski expressed his confidence in the second-year wideout. The 2021 third-round pick finished a miserable rookie... Read More
Tyrod Taylor Carted Off During Final Preseason Game
New York Giants quarterback Tyrod Taylor (back) was carted off the field during Sunday's preseason showdown versus the Jets. The veteran didn't last long, taking a shot from defensive end Micheal Clemons late in the first quarter. There should be an update surrounding his condition before the Week 1 opener versus the Tennessee Titans. However,... Read More
Daniel Bellinger Suffers Concussion
New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (concussion) will not return to Sunday's preseason matchup against the Jets. The 2022 fourth-round pick had a brief stint on the PUP list throughout training camp, so the latest injury isn't ideal, especially for a guy who is the likely starter. Nevertheless, with a few weeks to go... Read More
Josh Oliver Compiles 41 Yards Against The Commanders
Baltimore Ravens tight end Josh Oliver finished with two catches for 41 yards during the preseason win over the Washington Commands. He's played well enough in August and could end up cracking the 53-man roster. However, with Mark Andrews and the surging Isaiah Likely on the roster, Oliver isn't expected to appear on any fantasy... Read More
Makai Polk Held To One Catch In Preseason Finale
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Makai Polk had one catch for 10 yards during the exhibition versus the Washington Commanders. Despite the rookie's uninspiring play on Saturday night, he finished the preseason as one of the most productive wideouts for the birds. Whether that will get him on the regular season roster is yet to be... Read More
