Logan Thomas - Week 13 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Daurice Fountain Added To Active Roster For Week 1
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Daurice Fountain has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 1 clash against Arizona. The team is set at the position. However, if Fountain plays, he should spend most of his time on special teams, making him irrelevant for fantasy purposes.
Trenton Cannon Will Be On Active Roster On Sunday
Tennessee Titans running back Trenton Cannon has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's bout against the New York Giants. The Titans already have four players at the position, so he probably won't see any work out of the backfield. Instead, Cannon will likely spend most of his time with the special teams... Read More
Patriots Elevate Lil'Jordan Humphrey
New England Patriots wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey was elevated from the practice squad, putting him on the active roster for the season opener versus the Dolphins. The 24-year-old looked good during training camp, so adding him was likely an easy decision for the coaching staff. Nevertheless, with Jakobi Meyers (knee) and Ty Montgomery (knee) questionable... Read More
Jeff Driskel Called Up For Week 1
Houston Texans quarterback Jeff Driskel has been promoted from the practice squad and will be available for the season opener versus the Colts. The Texans had only two quarterbacks on the depth chart heading into Week 1, so the move was made for obvious reasons. With that said, even if Davis Mills goes down with... Read More
Packers Elevate Juwann Winfree For Week 1
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Juwann Winfree has been elevated to the active roster and will be available for the Week 1 clash against Minnesota. With Allen Lazard (ankle) doubtful for the season opener, the team made the move to bolster its receiving corps. Winfree had a decent preseason, so he may get some attention... Read More
Quenton Nelson Gets Hefty Extension
Indianapolis Colts offensive guard Quenton Nelson agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract extension on Saturday. The 26-year-old has been a formidable presence on the team's offensive line and has numerous All-Pro selections and Pro Bowl bids to show for it. As long as Nelson remains healthy, life should be easier for the aging Matt... Read More
Eric Lauer Placed On The 15-Day Injured List
The Milwaukee Brewers placed Eric Lauer (elbow) on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation. He underwent an MRI Thursday, which revealed "encouraging" results. The 27-year-old will miss at least the next two weeks and is eligible to return on September 23. He owns a 10-7 record with a 3.91 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 138... Read More
Teoscar Hernandez Shifted To Restricted List
Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Teoscar Hernandez was placed on the restricted list Saturday. He was placed on the paternity list Wednesday but was shifted to the restricted list to receive an extra day off. The 29-year-old will be eligible to come off the restricted list on Sunday. He is slashing .263/.315/.476 with 20 home runs,... Read More
Dereon Seabron Receives Two-Way Contract From Pels
Free-agent guard Dereon Seabron has agreed to a two-way contract with the Pelicans. Seabron went undrafted during the 2022 NBA Draft after averaging 17.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.4 steals during his final year at North Carolina State. He was also named the ACC Most Improved Player. While the 22-year-old won't make an... Read More
Tony Brown Added To Active Roster For Week 1
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Tony Brown has been promoted from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's opener against the Texans. The 27-year-old has played 33 games over three seasons, spending time with the Packers and Bengals. During that span, he's accumulated 58 tackles (44 solo) and two forced fumbles. While Brown is... Read More
Mark Vientos Called Up By Mets
New York Mets corner infield prospect Mark Vientos was called up to the big leagues on Saturday. The Mets' number seven ranked prospect (according to MLB Pipeline) enjoyed a solid season with Triple-A Syracuse, slashing .280/.358/.519 with 24 homers in 427 plate appearances. He does strike out a fair amount, and he won't contribute any... Read More
Cowboys Promote Brett Maher To Active Roster
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brett Maher was promoted from the practice squad to the active roster on Saturday. The team didn't have a kicker on the depth chart, so elevating Maher was an obvious decision ahead of the Sunday Night Football matchup versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 32-year-old hasn't been the most potent fantasy performer... Read More
Buffalo Adds Incentives To Jordan Poyer's Contract
Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer had incentives added to his contract. He is now eligible to earn an additional $2 million to the $5.6 million he is already guaranteed to make. Although it isn't a contract extension, the move may help keep Poyer as happy as possible while negotiating a potential new deal. The 31-year-old,... Read More
Patrick Wisdom Activated From The Injured List
Chicago Cubs corner infielder Patrick Wisdom (finger) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Saturday. The 31-year-old slugger missed a few weeks with a ring finger sprain on his left hand but he should be good to go for the remainder of the regular season. Wisdom owns a subpar .217/.311/.438 batting line but... Read More
Nick Madrigal Placed On The Injured List
Chicago Cubs second baseman Nick Madrigal (groin) has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a right groin strain. The 25-year-old infielder left Friday's game against the Giants early with right groin tightness and that's the ailment that's placed him on the IL. He was hampered by a left groin issue earlier this season... Read More
Dominic Leone Has Been Released
San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Dominic Leone has received unconditional release waivers. The veteran reliever was put on the injured list earlier in the week with a right elbow impingement but San Francisco decided just to release him. He had an up-and-down season, compiling a 4.01 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, and 52:24 K/BB ratio over 49... Read More
Darren Waller Agrees To Extension
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller has agreed to a three-year extension. The veteran will earn $51 million in new cash, ending a months-long negotiation process. The 29-year-old has accumulated 3,184 yards and 16 touchdowns off 270 catches during his career. He played only 11 games last season due to injury. However, if Waller... Read More
Keibert Ruiz Lands On Injured List
The Washington Nationals placed catcher Keibert Ruiz (groin) on the 10-day injured list on Friday with a testicular contusion. In corresponding moves, the team designated pitcher Jake McGee for assignment, purchases the contract of Israel Pineda from Triple-A and recalled Jordan Weems from Triple-A. Ruiz took a foul ball off his groin on Thursday and... Read More
Astros Activate Ryan Pressly From Injured List
The Houston Astros activated closer Ryan Pressly (neck) from the 15-day injured list on Friday and optioned Brandon Bielak to the minors in a corresponding move. Pressly was originally scheduled to be reinstated from the injured list earlier this week, but that was pushed back after he experienced more neck issues. Hopefully, the 33-year-old veteran... Read More
Vinnie Pasquantino Back From Injured List
The Kansas City Royals reinstated rookie infielder Vinnie Pasquantino (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Friday and optioned outfielder Brent Rooker to Triple-A Omaha in a corresponding move. Pasquantino was shelved at the end of last month with right shoulder discomfort, and he went 3-for-14 with three RBI in four minor league rehab games... Read More
Wander Franco Returns From Injured List
Tampa Bay Rays shortstop Wander Franco (hand, wrist) was reinstated from the injured list on Friday, with infielder Yu Chang being designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Franco will immediately return to shortstop and will hit second on Friday against New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas. The 21-year-old Dominican hasn't played in the big... Read More
Cardinals Sign Markus Golden To One-Year Extension
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Golden has signed a one-year extension worth up to $6.5 million dollars that will keep him under contract through the 2023 season. With the loss of Chandler Jones in the offseason, the Cardinals will rely heavily on Golden, who finished with 11 sacks and 48 tackles (33 solo) last season. The... Read More
Mickey Moniak, Michael Lorenzen Reinstated From Injured List
The Los Angeles Angels reinstated outfielder Mickey Moniak (finger) and right-hander Michael Lorenzen (shoulder) from the injured list on Friday and optioned right-hander Touki Toussaint to Triple-A Salt Lake and designated outfielder Ryan Aguilar for assignment in corresponding moves. Moniak will merely serve as outfield depth for the Halos to close out another disappointing season.... Read More
MLB Approves Certain Rule Changes For 2023 Season
A pitch clock, the banning of shifts and larger bases have been approved by Major League Baseball on Friday in a vote of the competition committee. The changes will take effect next year. The competition committee consists of four active players, six members appointed by the league and one umpire, and it was created as... Read More
Amani Hooker Agrees To Three-Year Extension
The Tennessee Titans agreed to a three-year contract extension with safety Amani Hooker for more than $33 million on Friday, according to sources. Hooker was a full-time starter in 2021 and is on the rise. The 24-year-old will receive a $10 million signing bonus and a guarantee of $19.5 million. Hooker had a career-high 62... Read More
Freddy Peralta Heading Back To Injured List
Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell stated after Thursday's doubleheader that starting pitcher Freddy Peralta will be placed on the injured list after he left his start early with shoulder fatigue. Counsell mentioned that he had no new symptoms, but the fatigue was a continuation of what he's experienced in his recent outings. This trip to... Read More
Saints Sign Erik McCoy To Extension
New Orleans Saints center Erik McCoy has agreed to a new deal with the organization. The former second round pick is coming off the worst season of his career. Despite that, the two sides have agreed to a five-year $63.75 million deal. McCoy is normally above average, but battled through a calf injury last season.... Read More
Malcolm Hill Returning To Chicago
Free-agent guard Malcolm Hill agreed to a two-way contract with the Bulls. The 26-year-old averaged 3.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 16 games in Chicago last season. Obviously, those numbers won't make him a coveted fantasy option heading into the 2022-23 campaign. However, he's still worth a stash in dynasty leagues, at least for now.
Celtics Finalize Camp Deal For Noah Vonleh
The Celtics have officially signed forward Noah Vonleh. The deal is non-guaranteed, and he will have to compete for a permanent spot on the roster throughout training camp. He was selected with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2014 NBA Draft and has played for seven teams since, averaging 5.1 rebounds and 4.9 points... Read More
Maxi Kleber Agrees To Extension With Mavs
Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber agreed to a three-year, $33 million extension on Thursday. The 30-year-old has played his entire career in Dallas (five seasons) and has averaged 7.1 points and 4.8 rebounds while shooting 35.9% from deep. With the Mavs acquiring Christian Wood during the offseason, Kleber may not be a consistent starter in... Read More
