Jayden Reed GB WR
Packers' Jayden Reed: Expected to play
1h agoReed (calf/shin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Reed didn't show up with an injury on the practice report until Friday, so it sounds like this issue is minor. However, his status won't be confirmed, one way or another, until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 pm ET start when inactives are announced.

Marquise Brown KC WR
Chiefs' Hollywood Brown: Unlikely to play in regular season
9h agoBrown, who was placed on injured reserve Friday and is slated to undergo surgery to repair his shoulder, is unlikely to play during the regular season, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The language coming out of Kansas City, both from head coach Andy Reid and Vice President of Sports Medicine and Performance Rick Burkholder, suggested this timeline could be a possibility. While the report leaves open that Brown could rejoin the team in the postseason, it seems as if the speedy wide receiver will be largely unavailable for fantasy managers in 2024.

Ja'Marcus Ingram BUF DB
Bills' Ja'Marcus Ingram: Snags two picks vs. Dolphins
9h agoIngram tallied two interceptions, one of which he returned for 31-yard touchdown, in the Bills' 31-10 win over the Dolphins on Thursday.
Ingram played just 23 snaps on defense, but he was responsible for two of the Bills' three interceptions on the night. He picked off Tua Tagovailoa early in the first quarter, which led to a 17-yard touchdown reception from Josh Allen to James Cook six plays later. Ingram was on the receiving end of a failed throw-away attempt from Tagovailoa on the Dolphins' first drive of the third quarter, which the former returned for a 31-yard pick-six that extended the Bills' lead to 21 points. Ingram is the backup corner behind Rasul Douglas and Christian Benford, but Ingram could see additional playing time moving forward after his impressive performance in Buffalo's Week 2 win.
-
Jameson Williams DET WR
Lions' Jameson Williams: Trending toward playing
9h agoWilliams (ankle), who is listed as questionable, is trending toward playing in Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Schultz outright suggested the speedy wide receiver would be active Sunday, but the team will officially make that announcement well before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. The third-year wide receiver is coming off easily one of his best games as a pro and should be in position to be an offensive factor once more against a Buccaneers secondary that is dealing with a variety of injuries.

Jordyn Brooks MIA ILB
Dolphins' Jordyn Brooks: Key contributor in loss
9h agoBrooks recorded six tackles (four solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.
While the box score doesn't necessarily raise any eyebrows, it's a promising sign for Brooks' IDP projection that he's played as many defensive snaps as any other Dolphins linebacker through Week 2. He's on the fringe of IDP viability in most formats for Week 3 at Seattle.
-
David Long MIA ILB
Dolphins' David Long: Leads Fins in tackles Thursday
9h agoLong recorded 11 tackles (nine solo) during Thursday's 31-10 loss versus the Bills.
The Bills were able to run the ball frequently in a lopsided win, creating a healthy number of opportunities for tackles for Long. He continued to play essentially an every-down role in Week 2, and as long as he retains that role, he figures to carry some IDP value in most formats.

Andres Gimenez CLE 2B
Guardians' Andres Gimenez: Adds steal in win
1h agoGimenez went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.
Gimenez didn't show much speed through July, but he's now logged 13 thefts on 15 attempts across 41 games since the start of August. The second baseman is up to 29 steals on the year, one shy of matching his career high from last year. He's maintained a .253/.302/.338 slash line with eight home runs, 59 RBI, 62 runs scored, 20 doubles and one triple over 141 contests.
-
Lane Thomas CLE CF
Guardians' Lane Thomas: Stays warm with homer, double
1h agoThomas went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two total runs scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.
Thomas has found his swing after a brutal August, going 18-for-49 (.367) through 13 contests in September. He's added four homers, six doubles and a stolen base in that span. The hot stretch has helped Thomas secure a starting role in center field, which had previously been a revolving door for the Guardians. He earned some extra job security when Tyler Freeman was reassigned to Triple-A Columbus before Saturday's game. Thomas is now at a .247/.319/.405 slash line with 12 homers, 58 RBI, 60 runs scored and 32 steals through 118 contests between Cleveland and Washington this year.
-
Jose Ramirez CLE 3B
Guardians' Jose Ramirez: Reaches 35-homer mark
1h agoRamirez went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run scored in Saturday's 6-1 win over the Rays.
Ramirez ended an 11-game homer drought with his eighth-inning solo shot, which got him to the 35-homer mark for the third time in his career. The third baseman has still gone 12 games without a multi-hit effort, but he's made the most of his trips on base with five stolen bases in that span. Ramirez has a .270/.329/.514 slash line with 107 RBI, 106 runs scored, 39 steals, 33 doubles and one triple across 146 contests this season.
-
Freddy Fermin KC C
Royals' Freddy Fermin: Rare steal in win
1h agoFermin went 1-for-3 with a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
Fermin has gone a modest 6-for-28 (.214) over 10 games in September. He's seen the bulk of the work behind the dish since Vinnie Pasquantino (thumb) got hurt, as Salvador Perez has seen more frequent looks at first base. Fermin has been quietly decent this year with a .286/.335/.387 slash line, six home runs, 36 RBI, 39 runs scored and two steals across 344 plate appearances.
-
Kyle Isbel KC CF
Royals' Kyle Isbel: Swipes two bags in win
1h agoIsbel went 1-for-2 with a double, a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Pirates.
One game after he hit multiple extra-base hits, Isbel showed off a different skill by picking up his first steals since Aug. 19. The outfielder has a career-high 11 thefts on 13 attempts this year, and he's flashed additional speed with seven triples. He still has little to show for overall with a .234/.286/.377 slash line, eight home runs, 42 RBI, 58 runs scored and 12 doubles across 124 contests.
-
Pavin Smith ARI 1B
Diamondbacks' Pavin Smith: Rattles off three hits
2h agoSmith went 3-for-4 with two runs scored in Saturday's 15-8 loss to the Brewers.
Smith was one of five Diamondbacks to post multiple hits in the blowout loss. He has a pair of three-hit efforts over his last five games, though Smith remains in a strong-side platoon role despite his recent success at the plate. For the year, the 28-year-old has a .280/.348/.550 slash line with seven home runs, 28 RBI, 21 runs scored and one stolen base over 115 plate appearances. Smith could see his role reduced once again whenever Lourdes Gurriel (calf) is ready to return.
-
Yuri Collins NBADRAFT PG
Warriors' Yuri Collins: Signs training camp deal with Dubs
7h agoCollins has signed a training camp deal with the Warriors, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Collins is not expected to have a shot at securing a spot in the Warriors' regular rotation and could be ticketed for another campaign in the G League. He spent the 2023-24 season with averages of 6.3 points, 5.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 steals for the Santa Cruz Warriors.
-
Isaac Okoro CLE SF
Cavaliers' Isaac Okoro: Staying in Cleveland
13h agoThe Cavaliers re-signed Okoro to a three-year, $38 million contract Saturday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Okoro was a restricted free agent but is now set to stay in Cleveland for at least three more years. In 2023-24, he averaged 9.4 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 27.3 minutes across 69 appearances, including 42 starts. Next season, he should continue to battle for a starting job with Max Strus.
-
Taze Moore POR SG
Trail Blazers' Taze Moore: Inks two-way deal
2d agoThe Trail Blazers signed Moore to a two-way contract Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Moore averaged 4.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 10.0 minutes across four regular-season appearances for Portland in 2023-24. He will split time between the Trail Blazers and their G League affiliate next season.
-
Ibou Badji POR C
Bucks' Ibou Badji: Heading to Milwaukee
2d agoThe Bucks signed Badji to an Exhibit 10 deal Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Badji will have the opportunity to make the Bucks' NBA roster on a non-guaranteed deal during fall training camp, although he likely will end up with the club's G League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. The 21-year-old registered 22 regular-season appearances with Portland last season, during which he averaged 1.5 points and 2.3 rebounds across 10.3 minutes per game.
-
AJ Griffin HOU SG
Rockets' AJ Griffin: Could step away from basketball
2d agoGriffin is "seriously considering" stepping away from basketball, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Thursday.
Griffin was selected by Atlanta with the No. 16 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft. He averaged 8.9 points and 2.1 rebounds in 19.5 minutes per game over 72 appearances during his rookie season, but his role diminished last year while also dealing with an ankle injury, as he averaged 2.4 points in 8.6 minutes per game over 20 appearances with Atlanta. He was traded to the Rockets in late June but could elect to step away from the game before suiting up for his new team.
-
Malik Williams MIA C
Malik Williams: Let go by Heat
3d agoThe Heat announced Thursday that they have waived Warren.
Williams has been let go by Miami a day after signing an Exhibit 10 contract. Williams is set to spend the 2024-25 campaign with Sioux Falls Skyforce of the G League.
-
Justin Danforth CLB RW
Blue Jackets' Justin Danforth: Recovering from surgery
12h agoDanforth won't be ready for the start of training camp after undergoing offseason wrist surgery, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Saturday.
Danforth has a doctor's appointment scheduled for Monday, which could provide a timeline for his recovery. He produced 10 goals, 26 points, 86 shots on net and 109 hits across 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.
-
Evander Kane EDM LW
Oilers' Evander Kane: Undergoing surgery by end of month
1d agoKane (hip/sports hernia) will undergo surgery within the next 10 days, Mark Spector of Sportsnet reports Friday
Kane's recovery timeline won't be known until after the surgery, but it's safe to assume the operation will cost him part of the regular season. If he is unavailable for the first month, the 33-year-old winger will be a candidate for long-term injured reserve. Vasily Podkolzin could get a chance at being a regular in the Oilers' lineup while Kane is out.
-
Shakir Mukhamadullin SJ D
Sharks' Shakir Mukhamadullin: Won't play in rookie games
1d agoMukhamadullin is dealing with general soreness and won't play in any rookie games for the Sharks, Max Miller of The Hockey News reports Friday.
Mukhamadullin is expected to be good to go for main camp, which suggests the issue is indeed a minor one. The 22-year-old blueliner will be competing for a depth role with the Sharks, though it's likely he'll see some time with AHL San Jose in 2024-25.
-
Artturi Lehkonen COL LW
Avalanche's Artturi Lehkonen: Not ready to return
2d agoLehkonen (shoulder) will not be able to participate fully at the start of training camp, John Matisz of The Score reports Friday.
Lehkonen underwent shoulder surgery in May and while he was skating with his teammates at the end of August, he is still considered iffy for the start of the 2024-25. Lehkonen had 16 goals and 34 points -- including seven goals and five assists on the power play -- in 45 regular-season appearances with the Avalanche in 2023-24.
-
Matt Martin NYI LW
Islanders' Matt Martin: Signs PTO with Islanders
2d agoMartin (lower body) signed a professional tryout agreement with the Islanders on Friday, according to Stefen Rosner of NHL.com.
Martin has spent 13 of his 15 NHL seasons with the Islanders, including the last six years. He had four goals, four assists and 151 hits in 57 regular-season games with the Islanders last season. He will compete for a spot on the fourth line during training camp.
-
Ilya Sorokin NYI G
Islanders' Ilya Sorokin: Hurt in offseason
2d agoGeneral manager Lou Lamoriello said Friday that Sorokin suffered an upper-body injury while training during the offseason, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.
Lamoriello said Sorokin is skating and while he may miss the start of training camp, he has no concerns about the netminder missing any time when the regular season begins. Sorokin struggled at times during the 2023-24 campaign, going 25-19-12 with a 3.01 GAA and a .908 save percentage. Look for a bounce-back season from the 29-year-old.
