Daniel Carlson LV KRaiders' Daniel Carlson: Racks up 15 points in loss
4h agoCarlson converted all five of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Carlson was the only Raider to put points on the board in this contest, rebounding from a slow Week 6 outing in which he attempted just one extra point all game against the Steelers. A tough test awaits for this Las Vegas offense with Gardner Minshew at the helm versus the Chiefs in Week 8, but Carlson remains steady when given the opportunity to boot it through the uprights.

Alex Bachman LV WRRaiders' Alex Bachman: Not targeted against Rams
4h agoBachman was not targeted in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Bachman, who was signed to the Raiders' active roster this past week after exhausting his three practice squad elevations for the season, did not earn a single target despite against the Rams despite playing 36 of 79 offensive snaps. Bachman's playing time figures to drastically decrease upon Jakobi Meyers' (ankle) return to action, which could come in Week 8 versus the Chiefs.

DJ Turner LV WRRaiders' DJ Turner: Targeted seven times Sunday
4h agoTurner caught two of seven targets for 13 yards and he also returned one punt for seven yards in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Rams.
Turner logged 75 of a possible 79 offensive snaps while earning a career-high seven targets with fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) inactive for a second straight game, but Turner's attention from quarterbacks Aidan O'Connell (thumb) and Gardner Minshew didn't amount to much fantasy production. Meyers' potential Week 8 return from injury would result in a demotion for Turner into the No. 3 role, but he remains somewhat relevant following Davante Adams' departure to the Jets. Regardless, rookie sensation Brock Bowers continues to command a significant portion of the target share among this struggling aerial attack.

Mark Andrews BAL TERavens' Mark Andrews: Scores twice in Week 7 win
6h agoAndrews caught all four of his targets for 41 yards and two touchdowns in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Andrews caught a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter before adding a four-yard score in the third. The veteran tight end has three touchdowns in his last two games after opening the season on a five-game touchdown drought, and Andrews has 11 catches over that three-game span after posting only six catches through Week 4. Andrews still is ceding more snaps than in previous seasons to Isaiah Likely, but at least the recent uptick in production has Andrews back in the usable range for fantasy purposes heading into a Week 8 trip to Cleveland.

Rashod Bateman BAL WRRavens' Rashod Bateman: Makes most of four targets on MNF
6h agoBateman caught all four of his targets for 121 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
Nobody on the Ravens saw more than four targets as Lamar Jackson spread the wealth en route to five touchdown passes, but Bateman made the most of his opportunities with a 59-yard catch in the second quarter and a 49-yard touchdown reception in the third. Bateman has yet to record more than four catches in a game this season, but he's averaging a robust 18.8 yards per reception and has scored in three of his last five games. Up next for Bateman and the Ravens is a trip to Cleveland in Week 8.
-
Chris Godwin TB WRBuccaneers' Chris Godwin: Likely suffered dislocated ankle
6h agoGodwin is feared to have suffered a dislocated left ankle in Monday's loss to Baltimore, head coach Todd Bowles told NFL.com.
With about a minute left in the game, Godwin made a 21-yard reception but appeared to severely twist his left leg when he was tackled to the ground. He was later carted off the field with an air cast on his left leg. It sounds like Godwin suffered a season-ending injury, but confirmation on his status will likely come after test results Tuesday.
-
Nico Hoerner CHC 2BCubs' Nico Hoerner: Undergoes flexor tendon surgery
17h agoHoerner underwent surgery Oct. 11 to repair his right flexor tendon, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
It's not clear when Hoerner suffered the injury, nor did the Cubs offer a timetable for his recovery. The second baseman should be ready to roll come Opening Day, although it's possible he'll be eased into things in spring training. Hoerner slashed .273/.335/.373 with seven home runs and 31 stolen bases over 151 games for the Cubs in 2024.

Nestor Cortes NYY SPYankees' Nestor Cortes: Trending toward World Series roster
18h agoYankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that there's a "good chance" Cortes (elbow) will be on the team's World Series roster, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Cortes will throw another live batting practice session Tuesday and, as long as he gets through that with no concerns, it sounds like he'll be part of the Yankees' roster for the Fall Classic against the Dodgers. It's expected that Cortes would be used as a reliever, although Boone hasn't officially committed to that. The southpaw has been out since late September with a left flexor strain.
-
Gerrit Cole NYY SPYankees' Gerrit Cole: Named Game 1 starter
18h agoYankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Cole will start Friday in Game 1 of the World Series, Laura Albanese of Newsday reports.
The Yankees wrapping up the ALCS in five games allowed them to set up their rotation as they wanted, and that means Cole taking the ball in Game 1. Boone added that Cole will likely be followed by Carlos Rodon, Clarke Schmidt and Luis Gil, in that order, although he has not yet etched that into stone. Cole holds a 3.31 ERA and 12:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings in three starts this postseason.

Gavin Lux LAD 2BDodgers' Gavin Lux: Not in lineup for Game 6
2d agoLux (hip) is absent from the Dodgers' lineup for Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets on Sunday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
Manager Dave Roberts said Sunday that Lux is sitting not just because of the Mets sending southpaw Sean Manaea to the mound, but also because Lux is still not fully recovered from a hip flexor injury, per Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times. Chris Taylor will start at second base for Game 6 of the NLCS, but Lux will be available off the bench.

Chris Taylor LAD LFDodgers' Chris Taylor: In lineup for Game 6
2d agoTaylor will start at second base and bat ninth for Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
With Freddie Freeman (ankle) out of Sunday's lineup, Taylor will start at second base while Max Muncy and Enrique Hernandez man first and third base, respectively. Taylor started in Game 4 of the NLCS, during which he went 1-for-4 with one walk and one run scored.
-
Max Muncy LAD 3BDodgers' Max Muncy: Starting at first base for Game 6
2d agoMuncy will start at first base and bat fifth in Game 6 of the NLCS against the Mets on Sunday, Noah Camras of DodgersNation.com reports.
Enrique Hernandez will start at third base Sunday while Muncy shifts to first base due to Freddie Freeman (ankle) being absent from the starting lineup. Muncy has gone 5-for-13 with nine walks, two home runs and four RBI over the first five games of the NLCS.
-
Armel Traore LAL SFLakers' Armel Traore: Cleared for Opening Night
10h agoTraore (hand) will play Tuesday night against the Timberwolves.
Traore missed time during the preseason due to swelling in his right hand, but the issue has cleared up in time for the 2024-25 regular-season opener. The 21-year-old is currently buried on the depth chart, so he'll likely see the majority of his chances in the G League, at least to start the year.
-
D'Angelo Russell LAL PGLakers' D'Angelo Russell: Good to go Tuesday vs. Minnesota
11h agoRussell (rest) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Timberwolves.
Russell will suit up for Opening Night against his former team after missing the Lakers' preseason finale. The 28-year-old produced a decent all-around season last year, during which he averaged 18.0 points, 6.3 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 combined steals plus blocks across a career-high 32.7 minutes per game in 76 regular-season outings. Russell is set to reprise his role in the starting five and will likely be in for another season of heavy minutes with Gabe Vincent and Bronny James backing him up.
-
Christian Koloko LAL CLakers' Christian Koloko: Won't play Opening Night
11h agoKoloko (illness) will not play in Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Timberwolves, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Koloko signed a two-way contract with the Lakers in September. There was optimism he would be available for Opening Night, but he has yet to be cleared by the NBA's Fitness-to-Play Panel due to blood clots that he was diagnosed with in January. Even should he could be cleared during the 2024-25 regular season, Koloko will likely spend most of the campaign in the G League with the South Bay Lakers.
-
Dalton Knecht LAL SFLakers' Dalton Knecht: Gets green light for Tuesday
11h agoKnecht (knee) has been cleared to play Tuesday night against Minnesota.
Knecht was held out of his team's final preseason matchup due to a minor knee issue, but he's been cleared to make his NBA debut. He's expected to be involved in LA's rotation right away as a dangerous scoring threat.
-
Anthony Davis LAL CLakers' Anthony Davis: Gets green light for Opening Night
11h agoDavis (rest) is available for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup against the Timberwolves.
Davis sat out the Lakers' final preseason game due to rest purposes, but he seems to be fully available for Opening Night. The All-Star is coming off a career-high 76 regular-season appearances last season, during which he averaged 24.7 points, 12.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.5 combined steals plus blocks across 35.5 minutes per game.
-
LeBron James LAL SFLakers' LeBron James: Playing in season opener
11h agoJames (rest) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.
The Lakers gave James an entire week off to ensure he's fully rested for Opening Night, so he should be available to play a full complement of minutes Tuesday evening.
-
Vince Dunn SEA DKraken's Vince Dunn: Facing extended absence
10h agoDunn (upper body) was placed on long-term injured reserve Monday.
Dunn won't be eligible to return until Nov. 12 against Columbus -- the move is retroactive to Oct. 17. Cale Fleury has been recalled from AHL Coachella Valley in a corresponding move. Dunn has picked up one goal, three points, 10 shots, 10 blocks and a minus-2 rating through four contests.
-
Chris Wagner COL RWAvalanche's Chris Wagner: Sent back down
13h agoWagner was sent down to AHL Colorado on Monday.
Wagner was called up by the Avalanche on Sunday, but he didn't see the ice in the team's win over San Jose. He'll head back to the AHL a day later, where he should see more consistent playing time.
-
Pavel Mintyukov ANA DDucks' Pavel Mintyukov: Back at practice
15h agoMintyukov (illness) participated in Monday's practice, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Mintyukov should be available to play Tuesday against San Jose after missing Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Kings. He has compiled two goals, three shots on net, six blocked shots and three hits in four appearances this campaign. With Mintyukov likely to play, Olen Zellweger might be a healthy scratch against the Sharks.
-
John Gibson ANA GDucks' John Gibson: Expected to travel with team
15h agoHead coach Greg Cronin said Monday that he anticipates Gibson (abdomen) accompanying the Ducks on their upcoming road trip, which begins Saturday against the Rangers, Derek Lee of The Hockey News reports.
Gibson has missed the first few weeks of the regular season while recovering from an appendectomy, but he appears to be closing in on a return. While it's not yet clear when he could be back in game action, it's encouraging that he'll travel with the team for the upcoming four-game road trip. Once Gibson is able to return, he'll likely compete with Lukas Dostal for the starting goaltender job.
-
Linus Ullmark OTT GSenators' Linus Ullmark: Ready to return
16h agoUllmark (strain) will return to the lineup in Tuesday's road matchup against Utah, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Ottawa hasn't announced a starter yet, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Ullmark back between the pipes following a three-game absence. He has earned a 1-1-0 record this campaign, stopping 53 of 58 shots.
-
Victor Olofsson LV RWGolden Knights' Victor Olofsson: Deemed week-to-week
16h agoOlofsson (lower body) was labeled week-to-week by coach Bruce Cassidy on Monday.
Olofsson was supposed to be getting a fresh start in Vegas but once again finds himself headed for a stint on the sidelines. At minimum, the 29-year-old winger, who has already missed two games due to his lower-body injury, figures to be out of action for at least the next three matchups. Given his recovery timeline, Olofsson is a strong candidate for injured reserve if the Knights need the roster spot.
