Jonnu Smith Sits Out Wednesday

Tennessee Titans tight end Jonnu Smith (knee), cornerback Adoree' Jackson (knee) and defensive end Jeffery Simmons (knee) all missed practice on Wednesday. Smith really put his fantasy managers in a tough spot in Week 12 with zero targets in the passing game against the Colts. He has plenty of pass-catching talent, but his floor is […]

Adam Humphries Returns To Practice Wednesday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Adam Humphries (concussion) returned to practice on Wednesday. Humphries has a chance to return in Week 13 against the Browns after sitting out since Week 9 with a head injury. The 27-year-old is the No. 3 receiver in this offense when healthy, behind A.J. Brown and Corey Davis. Humphries has only […]

Matthew Stafford Limited In Practice Wednesday

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb) was a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Stafford played through his thumb injury on Thanksgiving Day, so there should be no reason to expect him to miss Week 13's contest against the Bears. He did very little against the Texans, though, going 28-for-42 for 295 yards, one touchdown and […]

Philip Rivers, Anthony Castonzo Miss Practice

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers (toe) and left tackle Anthony Castonzo (knee) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Rivers missed some practice time last week but managed to play in the Week 12 loss to the Titans, so he shouldn't be in danger of sitting out Week 13 against the Texans. The veteran […]

Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton Limited Wednesday

New York Giants wide receivers Sterling Shepard (shoulder, toe) and Darius Slayton (foot, shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players appear to be on track to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks unless they encounter setbacks, but all Giants pass-catchers will have to be downgraded this weekend if Colt McCoy starts […]

Bud Dupree Likely Lost For The Season

Initial tests on Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree (knee) on Wednesday indicated a torn ACL, according to sources. If additional tests confirm the injury, Dupree is expected to miss the rest of the season. It would be a massive loss for Pittsburgh's defense and for Dupree, who is playing the 2020 season on the franchise […]

Robert Griffin III Removed In Fourth Quarter

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Robert Griffin III (leg) was replaced in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Steelers by Trace McSorley, and Griffin's leg was wrapped on the sideline after he appeared to tweak his hamstring on a run earlier in the game.

He'll […]

Raiders Defense Puts Maliek Collins On Injured Reserve

The Las Vegas Raiders placed defensive tackle Maliek Collins (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. According to Pro Football Focus, Collins is the lowest-graded defensive tackle in the NFL and he's the second-lowest graded run defender in 2020. He's failed to record a single sack in his first year with the Raiders after being one […]

Daniel Jones Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) has an outside chance to play in Week 13 against the Seahawks, but he didn't practice on Wednesday. Jones is becoming more of a long shot to play this weekend, but he could be questionable if he can get in some limited practice work later this week. Fantasy […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers and left-handed reliever Scott Alexander agreed to a one-year deal worth $1 million to avoid salary arbitration on Wednesday, according to a source. The 31-year-old had a 2.92 ERA in 13 outings for the Dodgers last season, which was his sixth in the majors and third with Los Angeles. He was […]

Baltimore Ravens running backs J.K. Dobbins and Mark Ingram II are not active for Wednesday's game against the Steelers despite being eligible to return from the COVID-19 list.

Vikings Not Worried About Dalvin Cook's Health

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said running back Dalvin Cook's (ankle) "health is fine" after offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak said that Cook is "beat up."

Tua Tagovailoa At Practice Wednesday

Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) took part in the portion of practice open to the media on Wednesday and was wearing black tape around his left wrist and lower part of his left thumb.

Colt McCoy To See First-Team Reps Wednesday

New York Giants head coach Joe Judge said that quarterback Colt McCoy will see the majority of the first-team repetitions in practice on Wednesday, with some also going to Clayton Thorson.

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed center Maurkice Pouncey on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, according to a source.

The Minnesota Vikings activated wide receiver Adam Thielen from the COVID-19 list, and he will practice on Wednesday. Thielen tested positive for the virus last week and was forced to sit out of the Week 12 win over the Panthers. He should be good to go for a juicy Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars […]

Bears Defense Struggling With Pass Rush

The Chicago Bears Defense failed to record a single QB hit on Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in the Week 12 blowout loss to their division rivals, and All-Pro pass-rusher Khalil Mack has failed to record a single QB pressure in two of his last three games. Mack is tied for 15th in the NFL with […]

Kenny Golladay Still Not Practicing

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kenny Golladay (hip) remains out of practice on Wednesday.

At this point, fantasy managers can't count […]
