Jerome Ford CLE RBBrowns' Jerome Ford: Deemed week-to-week by coach
10m agoFord (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Ford was injured in Sunday's 20-16 loss to the Eagles. He's unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Bengals, though more information on that front will surface when the Browns resume practicing Wednesday. Cleveland is well positioned to weather a potential absence from Ford, as Nick Chubb (knee) is on track to come off IR and make his season debut against Cincinnati, plus the Browns have D'Onta Foreman and Pierre Strong in the backfield.

Julian Blackmon IND SAFColts' Julian Blackmon: Grabs interception in win
21m agoBlackmon had six total tackles and an interception in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Blackmon played on all 58 of the defense's snaps. He's a steady source of tackles as a starting safety opposite Nick Cross.
-
Andrew Ogletree IND TEColts' Drew Ogletree: Two receptions in win
26m agoOgletree had two receptions for 24 yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
He played on 21 of the offense's 70 snaps (Mo Alie-Cox played 34 and Kylen Granson played 17) and had the second most targets (Alie-Cox had four) among tight ends. While Alie-Cox has had a few more targets with Joe Flacco at quarterback, the Colts continue to divide the workload relatively evenly between three our four tight ends, which limits Ogletree's upside.
-
Alec Pierce IND WRColts' Alec Pierce: No receptions in win
31m agoPierce had four targets but did not have a reception or carry in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Joe Flacco tried several times to connect with Pierce on a deep passes but missed. Pierce is mostly a deep threat in the offense, so he's going to be a boom-or-bust option for fantasy football purposes each week. However, he's reached 100-yard performances with both Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco at quarterback, so he should figure into the mix regardless who starts next week against Miami.
-
Kevin Byard CHI FSBears' Kevin Byard: Solid in blowout win
34m agoByard recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 35-16 win against the Jaguars.
Byard's pass breakup probably saved a touchdown, and he now has at least six tackles in all of his last five games. He's on pace for the third 100-tackle season of his career heading into the Bears' bye in Week 7.
-
Adonai Mitchell IND WRColts' Adonai Mitchell: Two receptions in win
35m agoMitchell had two receptions for nine yards on four targets in Sunday's win at Tennessee.
Mitchell played on 15 of the offense's 70 snaps as he is getting limited regular work as the fourth receiver. However, his role could increase if Michael Pittman has any setback to a back injury (Pittman played through a sore back Sunday).
-
Jeff McNeil NYM 2BMets' Jeff McNeil: Out of lineup again in Game 2
4m agoMcNeil is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS against the Dodgers, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
McNeil was added to the Mets' NLCS roster after missing five-plus weeks with a fractured right wrist, but Jose Iglesias will make a second straight start at second base and Starling Marte will be in the lineup again in right field Monday. After lining out as a pinch hitter in Game 1, McNeil will be a candidate to come off the bench again in Game 2.
-
Gavin Lux LAD 2BDodgers' Gavin Lux: Absent from Game 2 lineup
13m agoLux (hip) is not in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS against the Mets, Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Lux had to be lifted from Game 1 in the seventh inning due to hip flexor tightness. He will be available to pinch hit in Game 2 but will not be used on defense. The hope is that Lux will be ready to return to the lineup for Game 3 on Wednesday after two days of rest. Enrique Hernandez is at second base in Game 2.
-
Freddie Freeman LAD 1BDodgers' Freddie Freeman: Back in lineup for Game 2
19m agoDodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Freeman (ankle) will be back in the lineup Monday for Game 2 of the NLCS versus the Mets, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Freeman was lifted from Game 1 after seven innings, but that was simply to get him off his feet for a few frames since the Dodgers were out to a 6-0 lead at the time. The veteran first baseman is battling through a painful right ankle sprain but is expected to continue to gut it out as long as he doesn't experience a setback. Freeman reached base three times, drove in a run and scored a run in the Dodgers' Game 1 victory Sunday.
-
Landon Knack LAD SPDodgers' Landon Knack: In line for bulk relief in Game 2
26m agoDodgers manager Dave Roberts said that Knack will serve as a bulk reliever Monday in Game 2 of the NLCS versus the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Ryan Brasier will be the opener for the Dodgers, with Knack in line to record "most of the outs," per Roberts. Knack made one one-inning relief appearance during the NLDS against the Padres but operated as either a traditional starter or bulk reliever in all 15 of his appearances during the regular season, collecting a 3.65 ERA and 69:18 K:BB over 69 frames.
-
Ryan Brasier LAD RPDodgers' Ryan Brasier: Serving as opener in Game 2
31m agoBrasier will be the Dodgers' opening pitcher Monday in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Mets, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Brasier also served as an opener in Game 4 of the NLDS versus the Padres, tossing 1.1 scoreless innings. Landon Knack is in line for bulk relief on Tuesday against the Mets.

Javier Baez DET SSTigers' Javier Baez: Will have role on 2025 club
2h agoTigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Monday during the team's end-of-season media session that he expects Baez (hip) to participate in spring training and have a "fighting chance" to be ready for Opening Day, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Baez underwent season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his right hip in early September after dealing with a hip/back issue for much of the campaign. He slashed a pathetic .184/.221/.294 in 2024 and has hit only .221/.262/.347 in his three seasons with the Tigers, but Harris expects the 31-year-old to have a role with the club in 2025. With three years and $73 million remaining on his contract, there wasn't much of a chance that the team was going to cut him loose at this point. Baez shouldn't be guaranteed anything in regards to playing time in 2025, although the hope is that, with better health, he could at least offer a solid glove at shortstop. Trey Sweeney was the Tigers' primary shortstop down the stretch of the regular season and playoffs and could have a leg up over Baez for the starting job there heading into spring training.

Michael Porter Jr. DEN SFNuggets' Michael Porter: Scores 21 points Sunday
31m agoPorter posted 21 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, an assist and three steals across 25 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.
Porter returned to the starting lineup after a one-game absence due to rest purposes, and he looked sharp on both ends of the court. Once Denver's regular season begins Oct. 24 against the Thunder, Porter projects to operate as Denver's third option on offense, behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
-
Julian Strawther DEN SFNuggets' Julian Strawther: Strong showing off bench Sunday
36m agoStrawther posted 21 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds, four assists, a steal and a block across 30 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 118-114 preseason loss to the Suns.
Nikola Jokic turned heads with his play after ending just one assist shy of a triple-double, but the former Gonzaga standout was Denver's second-best player right after the star big man. Strawther, who was selected with the 29th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, should carve a decent role off the bench in his sophomore year in the league. The Nuggets will open their regular season against the Thunder on Oct. 24.
-
Bol Bol PHO CSuns' Bol Bol: Sniffs double-double
45m agoBol notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, an assist and a block across 28 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Bol hadn't seen the court much during the preseason, but he made his presence felt on both ends of the court in this win. That said, Jusuf Nurkic is entrenched as the Suns' starting center for 2024-25, meaning Bol will have to compete for the backup role with Mason Plumlee, so his fantasy upside will be close to minimal once the regular season begins Oct. 23 against the Clippers.
-
Monte Morris PHO PGSuns' Monte Morris: Scores 20 points in spot start
1h agoMorris delivered 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Morris got the start Sunday in place of Tyus Jones, as the Suns decided to rest their key players with the regular season right around the corner, and he certainly made his presence felt. Even though Morris took advantage of this opportunity to deliver a solid showing Sunday, he's not expected to carve a meaningful role for the Suns once the regular season begins, at least from a fantasy perspective.
-
Ryan Dunn PHO SGSuns' Ryan Dunn: Excellent vs. Denver
1h agoDunn delivered 20 points (7-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, two steals and three blocks across 30 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets.
Dunn co-led the Suns in scoring Sunday, but his contributions on the defensive end of the court are even more important, as that will probably hand him a role in the rotation as the season progresses. The rookie is a player worth targeting in several dynasty formats, but in the absence of a steady role in the rotation of a contender, fantasy managers should overlook Dunn in standard formats for the time being.
-
Jakob Poeltl TOR CRaptors' Jakob Poeltl: Records double-double Sunday
1h agoPoeltl finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists in Sunday's 115-111 preseason loss to the Celtics.
Poeltl made his presence felt on both ends of the court Sunday, and the big man seems to be ready for the start of the regular season against the Cavaliers on Oct. 23. Poeltl will open the campaign as Toronto's starting center, but he could be tied to rumors as the season progresses since the Raptors are fully committed to a rebuild, meaning contending teams could target Poeltl down the road.
-
Oskar Sundqvist STL CBlues' Oskar Sundqvist: Cleared for contact
17m agoSundqvist (knee) has been cleared for contact but is not ready to return to the lineup, Lou Korac of NHL.com reports Monday.
Sundqvist can be activated off the injured non-roster list as soon as he is ready, which seems to be sooner rather than later. Even once given the green light, the 30-year-old forward will likely have to settle for a bottom-six role and could even be a healthy scratchy periodically.
-
Alexandar Georgiev COL GAvalanche's Alexandar Georgiev: Defending crease Monday
25m agoGeorgiev will patrol the home crease Monday against the Islanders, per Ethan Sears of the New York Post.
Georgiev has surrendered eight goals on 25 shots while being pulled in his first two starts this season. The Avalanche and Islanders are both winless heading into Monday's contest. Colorado has allowed 14 goals through two games this campaign.
-
Ridly Greig OTT CSenators' Ridly Greig: Won't play Monday
1h agoGreig (upper body) won't play versus the Kings on Monday, Claire Hanna of TSN reports.
Greig will sit out at least one game after missing Sunday's practice. He hasn't earned a point in two outings this campaign. With Greig unavailable, Adam Gaudette will make his second appearance of 2024-25 in Monday's contest.
-
Cole Reinhardt OTT LWSenators' Cole Reinhardt: Not recalled after all
1h agoReinhardt was not recalled from AHL Belleville on Monday despite previous reports, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
Reinhardt probably wouldn't have made the lineup ahead of Adam Gaudette anyway, meaning he would just be watching from the press box as a healthy scratch. Still, if Ridly Greig (upper body) is out long-term, the Senators could bring Reinhardt up as an emergency depth option.
-
Anton Forsberg OTT GSenators' Anton Forsberg: Starting Monday
1h agoForsberg will guard the home goal Monday against the Kings, according to Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia.
With Linus Ullmark (undisclosed) unavailable for Monday's contest, Forsberg's backup will be Mads Sogaard. The 31-year-old Forsberg posted a 15-12-0 record with two shutouts, a 3.21 GAA and an .890 save percentage over 30 regular-season outings in 2023-24.
-
Linus Ullmark OTT GSenators' Linus Ullmark: Unavailable against Kings
1h agoUllmark (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus Los Angeles on Monday, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports.
It seems Ullmark's maintenance day was serious enough to convince the Senators to not even make Ullmark available as the backup Monday. Without the 31-year-old netminder in the lineup, Anton Forsberg will get the start versus the Kings while the recently recalled Mads Sogaard fills in as the No. 2 option.
