C. Gibson - G

NYI

Gibson is shaping up to start Tuesday night against the visiting Flyers, Adam Kimelman of NHL.com reports.

Gibson is listed above Robin Lehner on the projected roster for this preseason tilt, which suggests that he will be the one starting in the contest. However, Lehner will also see the ice, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday. This arrangement will make it tricky to depend on one player or the other in early DFS preseason contests, but then again, most teams are giving multiple netminders a look in single contests.

Added 12:23 pm (EST)

N/A

C. Carson - RB

SEA

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said that Carson was "gassed" from playing snaps on special teams in Monday's 24-17 loss to the Bears, which contributed to the running back seeing less work on offense than Rashaad Penny, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Carson gained 24 yards on six carries and failed to corral his lone target in the first half, then didn't see any touches in the second half while Carroll leaned more on Penny. Fortunately for Carson, Penny only produced 30 yards on 10 carries on the night, but the distribution of the workload doesn't offer much credibility to Carroll's previous claim that Carson is viewed as the team's lead back. With a matchup against a tough Dallas front seven awaiting the Seahawks in Week 3, it will be difficult to count on either back to generate much meaningful fantasy production.

J. Gray - SP

COL

Gray (11-8) gave up six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out one over two innings in a loss to the Dodgers on Monday.

This was downright ugly. Joc Pederson led off the home half of the first inning with a home run, and Gray went on to allow five consecutive hits (including another homer) to begin the third before getting the hook. After some initial success upon his return from the minors, Gray has regressed in a major way, posting a 7.54 ERA and 1.72 WHIP while allowing nine long balls in his last five starts (22.2 innings). He gets the Diamondbacks in Arizona and the Nationals at home to close out the regular season.

J. Adams - RB

PHI

The Eagles signed Adams off their practice squad Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

An undrafted rookie out of Notre Dame, Adams made a strong case for a roster spot in the preseason after gathering 90 yards on 23 carries, but the Eagles' ample backfield depth resulted in him falling on the wrong side of the cut. After going unclaimed off waivers, Adams earned a spot on the Eagles' practice squad, and will now make his way to the active roster with Darren Sproles (hamstring) uncertain to be ready for the team's Week 3 matchup with the Colts. Even if Adams is able to avoid the inactive list in Week 3, he'll likely have a tough time finding snaps on offense behind Jay Ajayi and Corey Clement.

K. Bryant - 3B

CHI

Bryant went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk Monday in the Cubs' 5-1 win over the Diamondbacks.

The eighth-inning homer was Bryant's first since July 20, though a five-week stay on the disabled list due to a shoulder injury contributed heavily into the drought. Since being activated from the DL on Sept. 1, Bryant has ridden a 33.3 percent line-drive rate (his career rate is 22.1 percent) to a .320 average, but he hasn't been accompanied that stellar mark with much output in other categories. Bryant has managed only six extra-base hits (five doubles and a home run), eight runs, five RBI and no stolen bases in 14 starts on the month.

C. Gunnarsson - D

STL

Gunnarsson (knee) will be a "surprise addition" to the lineup versus the Stars in Dallas on Tuesday, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

Gunnarsson tore his ACL and originally wasn't expected to return until October, but here he is projected to skate with Tyler Wotherspoon on the third pairing to open the preseason. Last season, Gunnarsson added just nine points (five goals, four assists) over 63 games, albeit with a plus-15 rating and 102 blocked shots.

Added 12:02 pm (EST)

N/A

V. Dunn - D

STL

Dunn (upper body) will play in Tuesday's preseason road game versus the Stars, Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic reports.

A mobile rearguard with offensive prowess, Dunn is slated to line up at right defense opposite Colton Parayko on the top pairing. The 2015 second-round (56th overall) draft pick had to bow out of the World Championship in April due to his upper-body injury, but he's evidently just fine after having the offseason to recover.

Added 11:56 am (EST)

N/A

A. Pollock - CF

ARI

Pollock went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in the Diamondbacks' 5-1 loss to the Cubs on Monday.

Pollock's ninth-inning blast, his 18th of the season, denied Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks a complete-game shutout. It was still another underwhelming showing from the sputtering Diamondbacks offense, which hasn't been helped by Pollock's downturn in productivity of late. Dating back to Aug. 26, Pollock is hitting just .182 with four extra-base hits and one stolen base over the team's 22 games.
