A.J. Dillon Returns From COVID-19 List

Green Bay Packers rookie running back A.J. Dillon said on his Twitter account that he's back at practice on Thursday after spending six weeks on the COVID-19 list. The second-round rookie out of Boston College last played in Week 8 against the Vikings when he had five carries for 21 yards rushing. Dillon's return is […]

Drew Brees Working On The Side At Practice

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) was present at practice on Thursday but didn't participate. Instead, Brees was working off to the side. The 41-year-old future Hall of Famer is progressing well in his rehab, but he's more likely to return in Week 15 in a showdown against the Chiefs. That means that […]

Christian McCaffrey Not Expected To Play In Week 14

Carolina Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said that he doesn't expect running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) to play in Week 14 against the Broncos. Fantasy managers that were hoping to get McCaffrey back for the start of the fantasy postseason will be very disappointed. It'll be the fourth straight missed game for the All-Pro […]

Mike Evans Doesn't Practice Thursday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday but did not practice on Thursday. Mid-week downgrades are never a good thing, so Evans could be a game-time decision for Week 14 against the Vikings. Fantasy managers will want to see Evans get in at least a limited practice on […]

Christian McCaffrey Not Present Thursday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) was not seen for the portion of practice on Thursday open to the media. It's been one thing after another for McCaffrey, who was the first overall pick in the vast majority of fantasy drafts. He tweaked his quad at practice last week and is now in […]

Dez Bryant Hasn't Been Put On COVID-19 List

The Baltimore Ravens have yet to put wide receiver Dez Bryant on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after he was sent home right before kickoff on Tuesday night against the Cowboys when it was announced that he tested positive for coronavirus. Bryant announced on his Twitter account that he has since tested negative for COVID-19 twice. It […]

Jimmy Smith Has A Chance To Play Monday

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that he's not sure if cornerback Jimmy Smith (groin) will practice on Thursday, but he also said there's a chance that Smith will play on Monday night against the division-rival Browns. Smith isn't a star by any means, but he's an important piece for Baltimore's secondary, so Cleveland's […]

KhaDarel Hodge Won't Practice Thursday

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (hamstring) and cornerback Denzel Ward (calf) will remain out of practice on Thursday. Stefanski is hopeful that Ward can play on Monday night against the Ravens and "wouldn't call it a long shot." Hodge is on the wrong track to start the week […]

Daniel Jones Looks Good During Workout

New York Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett said that quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) "looked good" after a workout following the team's walk-through on Wednesday. However, head coach Joe Judge said there are "a lot of things we still have to see" before the team makes a final determination on whether Jones can play in Week […]

Twins Continue To Talk With Nelson Cruz

The Minnesota Twins continue to talk with designated hitter Nelson Cruz about a reunion. Major League Baseball sent out a memo this week that they don't plan to use the DH in the National League again in 2021, which will drastically shorten Cruz's list of suitors. The veteran slugger hit .308/.394/.626 with 57 home runs […]

Jon Lester Not On Red Sox's Radar

Free-agent starting pitcher Jon Lester said he'd be open to a return to the Boston Red Sox in early May, but at the moment it doesn't look like the Red Sox are interested in that scenario becoming a reality, according to a major league source. Lester became a free agent when the Cubs didn't pick […]

Sung-Bum Na Posted By Korean Team

Outfielder Sung-Bum Na was officially posted by the NC Dinos of the Korean League on Wednesday. Na was a six-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove winner and was a lifetime .317/.384/.542 hitter in his eight seasons in Korea. He suffered a season-ending knee injury that held him to just 23 games in 2019, so he waited […]

Trevor Bauer An Obvious Option For Angels

People are convinced that the Los Angeles Angels are determined to add a top-of-the-rotation starter this winter, and National League Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer is the obvious option. Bauer is from Los Angeles and played his college ball at UCLA, so he might relish the opportunity to come back home. The Halos' top trade […]

Angels In The Mix For James McCann

The Los Angeles Angels remain in the mix for free-agent catcher James McCann, according to sources. They have been in on him from the beginning, and McCann has ties to Southern California, as he was born in Santa Barbara and went to high school in California. But the Mets have been seriously engaged in talks […]

Cam Newton Will Play Thursday Night

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen), who is officially questionable for Thursday night against the Rams, is fine and will start. Newton was limited in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday, but he was never in any real danger of missing this week's game. The former MVP had the same practice routine last week before […]

Denzel Mims Ruled Out For Sunday

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase ruled rookie wide receiver Denzel Mims out for Week 14 against the Seahawks. Mims left the team and is in Texas dealing with a family emergency. Even if he's able to return in time for the game on Sunday, he won't be eligible in time because of the […]

Kyler Murray Says Offense Is Close To Clicking

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray said the team's offense is "not far off" after dropping from first to sixth in total offense in the last two weeks. Their Week 13 loss to the Rams dropped the team to 6-6 and out of seventh for the final playoffs spot in the NFC. Murray isn't feeling the […]

Broncos Defense Loses Essang Bassey To IR

The Denver Broncos placed rookie cornerback Essang Bassey (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday after he suffered a knee injury against the Chiefs last Sunday night. Head coach Vic Fangio said Bassey would miss the rest of the year, with the injury likely to his ACL. The 22-year-old from Wake Forest had 23 tackles, one […]

Carlos Dunlap Misses Practice Wednesday

Seattle Seahawks defensive end Carlos Dunlap (foot) was listed as not practicing on Wednesday. Dunlap was a game-time decision last week against the Giants but played and registered only one assist on 41 percent of the defensive snaps. The former Bengals pass-rusher has 13 tackles (five for loss), eight QB hits and 3.5 sacks in […]

Chris Carson, Carlos Hyde Limited

Seattle Seahawks running backs Chris Carson (foot) and Carlos Hyde (toe) and linebacker Bobby Wagner (hamstring) were limited in practice Wednesday. Carson had more of a workhorse role in his second game back last week, totaling 110 all-purpose yards and a touchdown against the Giants in the loss. With a bigger role in a dream […]

Raiders Defense Picks Up Daryl Worley

The Las Vegas Raiders signed free-agent cornerback Daryl Worley on Wednesday. The veteran played in seven games for the Cowboys and one for the Bills this year and has 14 tackles and one pass defensed in four starts. The 25-year-old was a third-round pick of the Panthers in 2016. He spent two years there before […]

Joshua Kelley Has Fallen Off The Radar

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Joshua Kelley (foot), cornerback Chris Harris Jr. (foot) and linebacker Denzel Perryman (back) all missed practice on Wednesday. Kelley has fallen off the fantasy radar and can't be trusted in a starting spot. He didn't see any playing time in the Week 13 blowout loss to the Patriots. Kelley […]

Jerry Jeudy Still On Injury Report

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jeudy has been playing through a minor injury of late and has been awful for fantasy managers. We thought it would get a lot better after no catches on one target in the Kendall Hinton game, but it really didn't last […]

Brandin Cooks, Keke Coutee Limited Wednesday

Houston Texans wide receivers Brandin Cooks (foot, neck) and Keke Coutee (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Cooks was cleared of a concussion last week but finished the game with five catches for 65 yards in the loss to the Colts. He and Coutee are facing a tough pass defense, but Cooks is […]

James Robinson, Laviska Shenault Jr. Limited

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back James Robinson (knee) and rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (thumb) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should play in Week 14 against the Titans unless they suffer a setback. Robinson has been Jacksonville's MVP and workhorse, ranking third in the NFL in total touches behind Dalvin […]

Kyle Rudolph, Eric Kendricks Miss Practice

Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph (foot) and linebacker Eric Kendricks (calf) did not get on the practice field on Wednesday. Rudolph was injured in the Week 13 win over the Jaguars and whiffed on his only two targets. He could also join Irv Smith Jr. on the sidelines this weekend against the Buccaneers, which […]

Todd Gurley II Limited In Practice

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II (knee) and defensive end Dante Fowler (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Gurley missed Week 12 and returned to run the ball just eight times for a season-low 16 yards in the loss to New Orleans. It was his second straight game with only eight carries, […]

Julio Jones Absent From Practice Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. It seems as though Jones is rarely healthy, but he usually plays through the pain. The All-Pro veteran had six catches for 94 yards in last week's loss to the Saints a week after missing a game. The 31-year-old gets […]

Tee Higgins Limited On Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals rookie wide receiver Tee Higgins (hamstring) was limited in practice to begin the week on Wednesday. Higgins should be good to go for Week 14 against the Cowboys as long as he doesn't suffer some kind of late-week setback with his leg. The rookie was second on the team with 56 receiving yards […]

Deebo Samuel Misses Practice Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. Samuel also missed Wednesday's practice last week before playing against the Bills in the Monday night loss. Unless he misses more practice time this week, fantasy managers should feel confident in him playing against the Washington Football Team in Week 14. In […]
