Patrick Taylor SF RB49ers' Patrick Taylor: Extra work Thursday
6h agoTaylor rushed five times for 16 yards and caught his lone target for 12 receiving yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.
Starter Jordan Mason (shoulder) missed chunks of Thursday's victory over the Seahawks due to injury, opening the door for Isaac Guerendo (10-99-0) and Taylor to split snaps in the interim. The 49ers' fourth-round rookie had the standout performance in the starter's absence, while Taylor produced just 3.2 yards per tote in his first action on offense this year. The 26-year-old Taylor could maintain a small role in San Francisco's Week 7 gameplan if Mason is forced to sit against Kansas City due to the AC joint injury he sustained in Thursday's win.

Jauan Jennings SF WR49ers' Jauan Jennings: Gains 27 yards on TNF
7h agoJennings had three receptions (five targets) for 27 yards in Thursday's 36-24 win over Seattle.
Jennings saw the field for nearly half (49 percent) of San Francisco's offensive plays Thursday, a number which has mirrored his snap count this season aside from his standout performance against the Rams back in Week 3. Since that three-score game, the veteran slot man has produced just seven catches for 128 yards with no trips to the end zone over his last three contests. Jennings remains an option for those in deeper formats when the 49ers host the Chiefs on Sunday, Oct. 20.

Rasheen Ali BAL RBRavens' Rasheen Ali: Deemed questionable
9h agoAli (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Ali has practiced in full for the last two weeks, but the Ravens don't need to rush him back thanks to a stable backfield of Derrick Henry and Justice Hill. If he is activated from injured reserve, Ali should be set for his NFL debut.
-
Arthur Maulet BAL CBRavens' Arthur Maulet: Remaining sidelined
9h agoMaulet (knee/hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Maulet has been on injured reserve for the duration of the season. Despite being designated to return prior to Week 5, he was unable to practice in any capacity leading into Sunday's matchup. Maulet will need to make progress in the upcoming week, or else he will be in jeopardy of missing the season.
-
Derek Carr NO QBSaints' Derek Carr: Officially ruled out for Week 6
9h agoCarr (oblique) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Carr sustained a left oblique strain in the fourth quarter of this past Monday's loss at Kansas City. After undergoing an MRI on Tuesday, he received a prognosis of multiple weeks, and while an IR stint isn't considered likely, per coach Dennis Allen, this weekend Carr will miss the first of what will likely be numerous games. The Saints are rolling with rookie fifth-round pick Spencer Rattler at quarterback Sunday and perhaps for as long as Carr is sidelined.
-
Cedric Gray TEN LBTitans' Cedric Gray: Not ready to return
10h agoGray (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Gray has yet to make his NFL debut, but he was able to practice for the first time since late August. He logged three full sessions, so there's a chance he'll be ready to return for a Week 7 matchup against the Bills.

Alex Vesia LAD RPDodgers' Alex Vesia: Battling back injury
9h agoPresident of baseball operations Andrew Friedman said Friday that Vesia left Game 5 of the NLDS versus San Diego due to a back injury, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Vesia recorded the final out of the seventh inning Friday but was taken out by a trainer after his back flared up on him while warming up for the eighth frame. The southpaw is slated to undergo further evaluation over the weekend, which will provide the team with a better idea of his availability for the NLCS against the Mets.

Dodgers' Alex Vesia: Exits with trainer
10h agoVesia was removed from Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres on Friday due to an apparent injury, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
Vesia entered the game to get the final out of the seventh inning and was in line to handle the eighth, but he seemingly injured himself while warming up. The details of his injury and his status for a potential NLCS berth remain unknown.
-
Joe Musgrove SD SPPadres' Joe Musgrove: Undergoes TJ surgery
13h agoMusgrove underwent Tommy John surgery on his right elbow Friday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
Following an early exit from his appearance in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series on Oct. 2 due to an elbow injury, an MRI revealed that Musgrove would need to undergo Tommy John surgery before returning to the mound. The timing of his procedure gives him an outside chance to pitch toward the very end of next season, but the 31-year-old righty will most likely be sidelined until 2026.
-
Ha-seong Kim SD SSPadres' Ha-Seong Kim: Undergoes surgery
13h agoKim underwent labrum repair surgery on his right shoulder Thursday, Dennis Lin of The Athletic reports.
A return for the start of the 2025 campaign remains on the table, though no recovery timeline has been disclosed yet. The 28-year-old infielder has an $8 million mutual option with the Padres this offseason, though the fact that Kim recently changed agents is a good indication that he intends to test the open market.
-
Enrique Hernandez LAD 3BDodgers' Enrique Hernandez: Starting in center field Friday
17h agoHernandez will start in center field and bat seventh Friday in Game 5 of the NLDS against the Padres, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Miguel Rojas (thigh) is absent from the lineup, as expected, and the Dodgers will shift Tommy Edman to shortstop while Hernandez occupies center field. Hernandez started at third base in Game 4 and went 2-for-4 with a run scored.
-
Freddie Freeman LAD 1BDodgers' Freddie Freeman: Back in lineup for Game 5
17h agoFreeman (ankle) is expected to start at first base and bat third Friday in Game 5 of the NLDS versus the Padres, Kirsten Watson of Spectrum SportsNet LA reports.
Freeman had to be scratched from the Game 4 lineup due to lingering discomfort in his right ankle. He still needs to go through a pregame workout before the Dodgers lock him into Friday's lineup, but for now it looks like he'll gut it out in the winner-take-all contest. The veteran first baseman is 3-for-11 with three singles so far in the series.

James Harden LAC PGClippers' James Harden: Hits for 14 in preseason win
41m agoHarden scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 Ft) while adding five assists, three rebounds, and a steal in 18 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
The 35-year-old guard continues to have his court time capped in the preseason, but Harden's per-minute contributions have been impressive. With Paul George now in Philly, Harden will have an even bigger role in the Clippers' offense, especially on the nights when Kawhi Leonard (knee) is unavailable. Harden failed to average at least 20 points a game last season for the first time since 2011-12, but shot volume alone should get him back to that level in 2024-25.
-
Derrick Jones Jr. LAC SFClippers' Derrick Jones: Leading scorer in preseason win
1h agoJones scored a team-high 16 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 8-10 FT) while adding one steal in 21 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason win over the Trail Blazers.
After scoring just three points combined in the Clippers' first two preseason contests, Jones got his offense rolling Friday. The veteran forward is expected to be a glue player for Los Angeles this season after signing a three-year deal, $30 million contract in free agency, but his fantasy contributions are likely to be modest -- he averaged a career-high 8.6 points and 1.1 threes for the Mavericks in 2023-24.
-
Scoot Henderson POR PGTrail Blazers' Scoot Henderson: Struggles with shot Friday
1h agoHenderson scored 13 points (4-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT) while adding four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Clippers.
The third overall pick in the 2023 Draft also committed seven turnovers in a shaky start to his preseason. Henderson's rookie campaign didn't go as planned as he shot just 38.5 percent from the floor and 32.5 percent from beyond the arc, and while he finished the 2023-24 season by scoring in double digits in 16 straight games, the 20-year-old point guard's offense still appears to be a work in progress.
-
Toumani Camara POR SFTrail Blazers' Toumani Camara: Just misses double-double in start
1h agoCamara scored 19 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 Ft) while adding nine rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Friday's 101-99 preseason loss to the Clippers.
The second-year forward saw a hefty workload in the Blazers' preseason opener with Deni Avdija (personal), Shaedon Sharpe (shoulder) and Anfernee Simons (ankle) all unavailable, and Camara took advantage of the opportunity to lead the team in points and boards. Despite the intriguing all-around performance, the 2023 second-round pick will be back on the second unit when the rest of the Portland roster is at full strength.
-
Jonathan Kuminga GS PFWarriors' Jonathan Kuminga: Strong night off bench Friday
1h agoKuminga scored 19 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 6-10 FT) while adding seven rebounds and an assist in 27 minutes off the bench during Friday's 109-106 preseason win over the Kings.
Kyle Anderson got the start at power forward for the Warriors in this one but didn't make much of an impact in 18 minutes, while Kuminga led the team in rebounding and finished second in scoring behind Moses Moody's 23. When the regular season begins, Kuminga will almost certainly be Golden State's starting four as he looks to build on a breakout 2023-24 campaign that saw him set career highs with 16.1 points, 4.8 boards and 2.2 assists over 74 regular-season games.
-
Stephen Curry GS PGWarriors' Stephen Curry: Jams finger in preseason game
1h agoCurry jammed his finger late in the first half of Friday's 109-106 exhibition victory over the Kings and did not return, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
Curry went through his usual postgame workout routine in the weight room, and it does not sound like it should be too much of an issue going forward. Still ilt is worth monitoring, as the Warriors will presumably err on the side of caution with their star guard during the preseason. The sharp-shooter finished with just six points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3PT, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 16 minutes.
-
Frederik Andersen CAR GHurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Gives up two goals in loss
18m agoAndersen gave up two goals and made 19 saves in Friday's 4-1 loss to the Lightning.
There's no question this wasn't the start Andersen would've wanted, but on the other hand, he was facing one of the top offensive units in the NHL, so a defeat was well within the realm of possibilities. The scoreline looks worse than his personal stat line, however, as two of the four Lightning goals came on empty-netters in the final stages of the game. Andersen went 13-2-0 with three shutouts, a 1.84 GAA and a .932 save percentage in 16 regular-season games last season, and he'll look to bounce back against the Devils on Tuesday.
-
Jordan Staal CAR CHurricanes' Jordan Staal: Scores in loss to Tampa Bay
20m agoStaal scored a goal in Friday's 4-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
Staal opened the scoring for the Hurricanes in the latter stages of the first period with a snap shot that went straight past Andrei Vasilevskiy, but Carolina gave up four unanswered goals in the final two periods the rest of the way. Staal's production has been trending in the wrong direction over the last four years, and while he should remain a productive threat based on his middle-six role, don't expect him to deliver goals on a regular basis. He found the back of the net just 10 times in 2023-24.
-
Victor Hedman TB DLightning's Victor Hedman: Credited with three assists
23m agoHedman notched three assists, including two on the power play, and two shots on goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Hedman is one of the elite defensemen in the NHL and delivered an impressive outing in this season opener, as he was involved directly in three of the team's goals, including two in the power play. Hedman has notched at least 60 assists in two of the last three seasons, and he should remain one of the most productive blue-liners in the NHL as long as he remains healthy while consistently featuring in one of the top scoring units in the league.
-
Brayden Point TB CLightning's Brayden Point: Scores power-play goal
26m agoPoint scored a power-play goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Point equalized Friday's game with a power-play goal in the second period following assists from Nikita Kucherov and Victor Hedman. Point has reached the 90-point plateau in each of the last two seasons, and while Kucherov will be the primary scoring weapon on the Lightning roster, the center should have plenty of opportunities for sustained production once again. He should feature regularly in the top line alongside Kucherov and Jake Guentzel.
-
Jake Guentzel TB CLightning's Jake Guentzel: Sets up two goals Friday
30m agoGuentzel recorded two assists in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Guentzel inked a seven-year deal with the Lightning in the offseason after spending eight of his previous nine seasons with the Penguins, and while he was doubtful to feature in the season opener after missing practice earlier this week due to an undisclosed injury, he didn't have problems featuring in the top line alongside Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point while delivering an excellent performance. Guentzel should have plenty of opportunities to produce in the first line of one of the best offenses in the NHL, and he'll look for his first goal of the campaign against the Canucks on Tuesday.
-
Nikita Kucherov TB RWLightning's Nikita Kucherov: Records hat-trick Friday
33m agoKucherov notched a hat-trick, including a power-play goal, and added a power-play assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Hurricanes.
Kucherov couldn't have wished for a better start to the season, as the star right winger was directly involved in the Lightning's four goals while recording a natural hat-trick in the third period across a nine-minute period that included two empty-netters. Kucherov had a career-best season in 2023-24 with 44 goals and 144 points across 81 regular-season appearances, and he's looking to best those numbers a step further in 2024-25.
