Cam Newton Will Start In Week 11

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that quarterback Cam Newton will start in Week 11 against the Washington Football Team. "Cam will take the first play," Rhule says. The quote from Rhule makes it sound as though P.J. Walker could still be involved, but even if he is, we'd expect to see a much […]

Kyler Murray Will Be Game-Time Decision Yet Again

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (ankle) will be a game-time decision yet again in Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Murray has missed the last two games, but the difference this week is that he was practicing on a limited basis as early as Wednesday. Murray appears to have […]

DeAndre Hopkins Ruled Out For Week 11

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. It will be the third straight game that Hopkins has missed after aggravating his hamstring injury in Week 8. Fantasy managers will need to leave him on their benches for at […]

Red Sox An Option For Chris Taylor?

The Boston Red Sox could be a player for free-agent infielder/outfielder Chris Taylor after they had success with the signing of another versatile ex-Los Angeles Dodger in Enrique Hernandez. The Red Sox covet versatility in their position players, and Taylor certainly fits that bill, as he's able to play any outfield spot as well as […]

Giants Interested In Starling Marte

The San Francisco Giants are another team that is interested in free-agent outfielder Starling Marte. The Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Miami Marlins and others are interested as well. Marte lives in Miami, but it sounds like the Marlins are behind other teams after trading him to the […]

Vita Vea Unlikely To Play Against Giants

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea (knee) wasn't at practice on Friday, and while he still has another day to get back on the practice field, he's unlikely to do so and probably will not be active on Monday night against the New York Giants after getting injured in the Week 10 loss to […]

Logan Ryan Likely Out For Monday Night Game

New York Giants safety Logan Ryan tested positive for COVID-19 and is now unlikely to play on Monday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Giants will likely be placing Ryan on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and head coach Joe Judge said the situation doesn't appear to be a false-positive. Julian Love will likely take Ryan's […]

Henry Ruggs III's Departure Hurting Darren Waller?

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Darren Waller had 19 targets in the season opener, but he's averaging seven targets per game since Week 1 and had a season-low 24 yards on four receptions in the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Waller still has had no fewer than five targets and four catches […]

Denzel Mims' Availability In Doubt

New York Jets wide receiver Denzel Mims' availability for Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins is "in doubt," according to head coach Robert Saleh. Mims has returned one negative COVID-19 test but needs one more in order to be activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and play this Sunday. The 24-year-old was not eligible to play […]

Zach Wilson's Knee Is Structurally Sound

New York Jets rookie quarterback Zach Wilson's knee is structurally sound, according to head coach Robert Saleh. "It's confidence more than anything," Saleh said. Wilson remains day-to-day and has been limited in practices so far this week, but the Jets want to give him at least one more week to recover from a PCL sprain. […]

Jared Goff To Throw, Lions Ready To Start Tim Boyle

Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that quarterback Jared Goff (oblique) will throw on Friday, but the team is ready to start Tim Boyle on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Goff missed practice on Thursday and Friday, and although it sounds like he's making some progress, it's probably too late in the week for […]

Dallas Goedert Receives Four-Year Extension

The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert agreed to a four-year contract extension on Friday that will take him through the 2025 season. Financial terms of the extension weren't immediately disclosed. The Eagles are committed to Goedert for the long term, if that wasn't already clear when they traded Zach Ertz to the Arizona […]

Elijah Mitchell To Be A Game-Time Decision

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that rookie running back Elijah Mitchell (finger) has earned the right to be a game-time decision in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mitchell hasn't practiced all week after having surgery on Tuesday to fix a broken finger he suffered in Week 10, and Jeff Wilson Jr. […]

Mets Have Interest In Reunion With Steven Matz

The New York Mets have interest in bringing back free-agent left-hander Steven Matz following his breakout season with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2021. Matz is from Long Island, New York, and enjoyed his time with the Mets from 2015 to 2020. The Mets traded Matz to Toronto in January after he had an ugly […]

Bruce Irvin Signs With Bears

Veteran pass-rusher Bruce Irvin signed with the Chicago Bears on Thursday, according to a source. Irvin will give the Bears some more edge-rushing depth with Khalil Mack (foot) missing the last two weeks of action. Irvin was a first-round pick by the Seattle Seahawks in 2012 and has 52 career sacks and 118 QB hits […]

Raheem Mostert Could Ditch Crutches Soon

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) already had surgery on his knee and said that he can already put 25 percent of his weight on his injured leg. Mostert might be able to ditch his crutches in a couple weeks and is hoping to return fully in 2022, but he's set to become […]

Trey Sermon Buried On San Fran's Depth Chart

With San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) still dealing with a serious ankle injury and Elijah Mitchell dealing with a broken finger, it could lead to rookie Trey Sermon's first snaps since Oct. 10. The 49ers had 40-plus carries for the fifth time under head coach Kyle Shanahan since 2017, but it was […]

CeeDee Lamb Back In The Slot

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb returned to the slot with Michael Gallup returning from Injured Reserve in the Week 10 win over the Atlanta Falcons. Lamb caught six passes for 94 yards and two touchdowns with Gallup back in the fold, and he's one of the most lethal pass-catcher on the inside while creating […]

Jack Doyle Downgraded On Thursday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (knee) only was able to practice in a limited fashion on Thursday after he was a full participant on Wednesday. It's a downgrade for Doyle in the middle of the week, but at least he was able to stay on the practice field. Doyle leads Colts tight ends this […]

Jeff Driskel Moving To Tight End

Houston Texans quarterback Jeff Driskel is making the transition to tight end, and tight ends coach Andy Bischoff called him "a rare athlete." The 28-year-old was drafted in the sixth round in 2016 by the San Francisco 49ers, and he's spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals, Detroit Lions and Denver Broncos in three seasons in […]

Jeremy McNichols Misses Another Practice

Tennessee Titans running back Jeremy McNichols (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol and missed his second straight practice on Thursday. McNichols is extremely questionable to play in Week 11 against the Houston Texans and will need to get in some practice work on Friday to have a chance at suiting up. The 25-year-old has […]

JaMycal Hasty Trending In The Wrong Direction

San Francisco 49ers running back JaMycal Hasty (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Thursday and doesn't look particularly close to returning in Week 11 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he missed last Sunday night's game. It's Jeff Wilson Jr., not Hasty, that fantasy managers should be eyeing if rookie Elijah Mitchell (finger) is unable […]

Cowboys Activate Greg Zuerlein From COVID-19 List

The Dallas Cowboys activated kicker Greg Zuerlein from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Zuerlein was forced to miss the Week 10 win over the Atlanta Falcons after testing positive for the virus, but he'll be back as the team's kicker for a potentially high-scoring matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday. Greg the Leg […]

Cole Beasley Returns To Practice Thursday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley (ribs) made a return to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. Beasley officially was limited in practice and continues to be limited by a painful rib injury. The veteran slot man barely played in the second half of the Week 9 loss and then played a season-low […]

Justin Jackson Looks Ready To Return

Los Angeles Chargers running back Justin Jackson (quadriceps) got in a full practice on Thursday after he was a limited participant on Wednesday. Jackson is trending in the right direction for Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers after missing the last two games with a quad injury. He did have a season-high 79 yards rushing […]

Justin Herbert Listed With Oblique Injury

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (oblique) popped up on the injury report for Week 11 on Thursday with an oblique ailment, but he was able to get in a full practice. It's something to watch, but the fact that the second-year signal-caller was able to practice in full means this isn't something to be […]

Brandon Bolden, N'Keal Harry Active Against Falcons

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden (hip) and wide receiver N'Keal Harry (knee) are both active for Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. Kicker Nick Folk (knee), who was also questionable coming into this one, is active. Bolden will return to being more of a rarely used change-of-pace back now that Damien Harris (concussion) […]

Damien Harris, Jonnu Smith Officially Active

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (concussion) and tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) are both active for Thursday night's game against the Atlanta Falcons. Although it's fair to wonder if his role might be smaller after he missed Week 10 with a concussion and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson went off for a big game. But […]

D'Andre Swift, Jamaal Williams Limited Thursday

Detroit Lions running backs D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and Jamaal Williams (groin) were both limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Williams has missed the last two games due to injury, but he appears on track for a potential return this Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. We wouldn't expect the 26-year-old to step […]

Latavius Murray Limited Again Thursday

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) put in his second limited practice session of the week on Thursday. If he can avoid a setback, Murray is on track to return for the first time since Week 6 when the Ravens play the Chicago Bears in Week 11. The Ravens appeared to be planning for […]
