Travis Kelce Ready For Camp
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce (ankle) didn't participate in the team's offseason team activities, but Kelce is expected to be a full go for training camp. Kelce has three-straight 1000 yard receiving seasons to his name and caught 10 touchdowns last year in Kansas City's prolific offense. He's set to be the first […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJets Waive De'Angelo Henderson
The New York Jets have waived running back De'Angelo Henderson. After adding Le'Veon Bell and Ty Montgomery in the offseason, Henderson was always a long shot to make the team's final roster, so cutting him now allows him time to latch on somewhere else. The problem is that while Henderson was a popular dynasty sleeper […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoMark Sanchez Retires
Despite starting a game for the Washington Redskins in 2018, quarterback Mark Sanchez has retired from the NFL and will move into a broadcasting role with ESPN. While Sanchez was never an elite quarterback, he did lead the Jets on some long playoff runs early in his career. He's likely still rostered in some dynasty […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoCowboys Release Allen Hurns
The Dallas Cowboys have released wide receiver Allen Hurns, who broke his fibula in a playoff game last season. It's unclear if Hurns was going to be ready to go for the Cowboys when training camp began, but he was expected to play this season. He'll have a chance to latch on somewhere else, but […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoRockets Sign Ben McLemore
The Houston Rockets have signed guard Ben McLemore, who played in just 19 games for the Kings last season and averaged 3.9 points per game. While he did shoot 41.5 percent from three, McLemore is unlikely to play a key role on a Houston team that's looking to win a championship. If he makes it […]

We have three games in the WNBA on Tuesday, and while it's not the most exciting slate of games on paper, there are some games of interest, including the Aces hosting the Storm. With the All-Star break upon us, this will be the last time we see these six teams until next Tuesday. In this […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDeAndre Hopkins And J.J. Watt Should Practice Soon
While Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (ankle) and defensive end J.J. Watt (knee) are starting training camp on the PUP list and will be unable to practice, their stays on those lists are expected to only last a few days. Both players are expected to return to practice soon, and while it would be […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoChargers Not Ready To Discuss Melvin Gordon Contract
Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon recently suggested he wants to be traded if the Chargers don't offer him a contract extension, and on Monday word came that the Chargers do not currently have interest in discussing Gordon's contract situation. Yahoo's Charles Robinson reports that the Chargers are "dug in" on their current stance, […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoVikings Release Roc Thomas
The Minnesota Vikings have parted ways with running back Roc Thomas, who was set to miss the first three games of the season after being suspended for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. The move isn't a huge surprise, though Minnesota is now fairly shallow at running back beyond Dalvin Cook and rookie Alexander Mattison. Thomas […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJets Sign Ryan Griffin
The New York Jets have signed tight end Ryan Griffin, who spent the past six seasons with the Houston Texans. Griffin had 24 catches for 305 yards last season. While he'll ultimately be a backup to Chris Herndon IV, Griffin could be in line for an increase in usage over the first four games while […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJohn Wall Not Expected To Play Next Season
Washington Wizards guard John Wall tore his Achilles in February and is expected to miss the entire 2019-2020 season. While the timetable for Achilles rehab could theoretically put Wall on track to return near the end of next season, the Wizards plan to be cautious with their point guard. Wall should be off the fantasy […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJarran Reed Suspended Six Games
Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Jarran Reed was suspended six games for a violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Reed had 10.5 sacks last year and was emerging as one of the league's top interior linemen. Before the suspension, Reed was one of the top IDP options among all defensive tackles, but with the depth […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoKostas Antetokounmpo Claimed By Lakers
The Los Angeles Lakers have claimed forward Kostas Antetokounmpo off waivers from the Mavericks. Antetokounmpo is on a two-way contract, which will restrict how long he's able to be on the Lakers main roster this season, and it's highly unlikely that the team will give him minutes even when he's available, because the Lakers are […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDeAndre Carter Placed On Active/PUP List
Houston Texans wide receiver Deandre Carter was placed on the active/PUP list for undisclosed reasons. Carter enters camp looking to lock down a role as Houston's fourth receiver, but he won't be able to practice until the team removes him from the list, which could put him behind in preparation for the upcoming season. Carter […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoKahale Warring Placed On Active/Non-Football Injury List
While it's unclear what led to him being placed on it, Houston Texans rookie tight end Kahale Warring will open training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. What this essentially means is that Warring is dealing with some injury that wasn't sustained as part of his NFL duties and that he won't be available to […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoDeAndre Hopkins Placed On Active/PUP List
The Houston Texans have placed wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins on the active/PUP list. What this means is that Hopkins, who's been dealing with a shoulder injury, will be unable to practice with the team as long as he's on the list, but Hopkins can be activated from the list at any time. There should be […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJulio Jones Reports To Training Camp
Rumors that Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones might hold out have turned out to not be true, as Jones has reported to training camp. Jones and the team will continue to talk about a long-term extension for the wideout, but it doesn't look like there's any danger of Jones missing time or getting behind […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJordan Thomas Poised To Start At Tight End
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Thomas recently suggested that Houston will use a committee approach at tight end with Thomas, Jordan Akins, and rookie Kahale Warring, but Thomas is expected to be the leader of that committee and the player most likely to be a weapon in Houston's passing game. Thomas caught four touchdowns last […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTrinity Benson Working With Broncos First Team
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Trinity Benson worked with the team's first-team offense in 11-on-11 drills on Saturday, a move that suggests the speedy slot receiver could make Denver's roster. The East Central University graduate has used in both the receiving and the run game in college, and with the depth in Denver's receiving corps […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoCommittee Running Backs Worth Drafting
Want to see me say some dirty words on this website? Alright, here we go: Running. Back. Committee. Please don't go report me to my editors! I'm sorry! But while we're here and we're talking about all these dirty things, let's talk about running back committees. Are they good for fantasy owners? Nah. Are they a […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoMarqise Lee May Open Season As Reserve
After missing all of the 2018 season with a torn ACL tear, Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Marqise Lee is expected to be ready for the start of the 2019 season. But Jaguars.com writer John Oehser says that Lee being in the team's starting lineup in Week 1 is a "longshot," as he'll need to spend […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoBucks Sign Kyle Korver
The Milwaukee Bucks have signed free agent guard Kyle Korver to a one-year deal. The veteran sharpshooter is a career 42.9 percent shooter from deep and gives the Bucks an important deep threat to help space the floor for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Korver will likely be decent minutes off the bench, though at his age he's […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJustin Holiday Signs With Pacers
Free agent guard Justin Holiday has signed a one-year deal with the Indiana Pacers, where he joins his brother Aaron. Last year, Holiday split time between Chicago and Memphis, playing in 82 games with 77 starts and putting up averages of 10.5 points and 3.9 rebounds on 38.6 percent shooting. Indiana's a better team and […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoEagles Sign Darren Sproles
The Eagles are bringing back running back Darren Sproles for one more season. After playing in just six games last year, it looked like Sproles might be done in the NFL, but the Eagles decided to bring Sproles back to an already crowded backfield that features Jordan Howard, Corey Clement, and Miles Sanders. Clement might […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoWill Fuller Expected To Be Ready For Start Of Season
Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (ACL) is expected to be ready to go for the start of the 2019 season. Fuller's played just 17 games over the past two seasons, but when he's on the field he's one of the NFL's best downfield weapons and has developed great chemistry with quarterback Deshaun Watson. Even […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoD'Onta Foreman Will Play Complementary Role
Houston Texans running back D'Onta Foreman had a disastrous 2018 season, rushing for negative yardage on seven carries while adding two catches for 28 yards and a touchdown. Recovering from an Achilles tear, Foreman appeared in just one regular season game, playing 31 snaps in a loss to the Eagles. Foreman is expected to play […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoWNBA Daily Fantasy Lineup Picks (7/19/19): WNBA DFS Advice for DraftKings and FanDuel
We have three games in the WNBA tonight, headlined by a fun Aces/Storm game (that might not be much fun for DFS players, as the team's have both been good defensively lately). But before that, we get another Dream/Sun meeting -- a matchup that's always fun -- and a Mystics/Fever game that might not look […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoBroncos Sign David Williams
The Denver Broncos have signed running back David Williams, who the team originally drafted in 2018 before letting go. Williams was a Jaguar last season, but carried the ball just eight times for 36 yards with Jacksonville. It's hard to imagine a situation where Williams has fantasy value in a Broncos backfield that already has […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoTyreek Hill Will Not Be Suspended
The NFL will not suspend Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill for violating the league's player-conduct policy. Hill was under investigation for an incident in which his son's arm was broken. With Hill cleared to be on the field, the Chiefs wideout is once again on track to be one of the league's top […]
Justin Carter 5 years agoJordan Akins Expects To Have Versatile Role
Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins expects to be used in various spots on the field in 2019. While the battle for playing time at the tight end position will be tough between Akins, Jordan Thomas, and rookie Kahale Warring, Akins being able to be used in the backfield and in the slot can help […]
