Free-agent catcher Yadier Molina said that several teams have expressed interest in signing him this offseason, including the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Angels, New York Mets and New York Yankees.

Lane Johnson Says His Season Is Over

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Lane Johnson (ankle) said that his 2020 season is over after dealing with a serious ankle issue.

It was announced earlier on Friday that the team will also move […]

Kyler Murray Expected To Play In Week 12

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 12 against the Patriots.

Eddie Jackson Will Play Sunday For Bears Defense

Chicago Bears safety Eddie Jackson has been activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and will play in Week 12 against the division-rival Packers.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) will practice in full on Friday for the second straight day and will start in Week 12 against the division-rival Dolphins "unless something changes today, which I don't anticipate," head coach Adam Gase said.

Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Peters (toe) will be moving to right guard and Jordan Mailata will be moving back to left tackle for the team's Week 12 game against the Seahawks on Monday night, according to sources.

Cody Ford Out For The Season

Buffalo Bills offensive lineman Cody Ford (knee) is out for the rest of the season, according to head coach Sean McDermott. Ford suffered a torn meniscus in practice earlier this week and is set for surgery that will take three to four months of rehab, according to a source. He should make a full recovery […]

DeForest Buckner Ruled Out For Sunday

Indianapolis Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner is on the Reserve/COVID-19 list after testing positive for the virus, not as a high-risk close contact. Buckner is officially out for Week 12 against the division-rival Titans. It's a big loss for the strong Colts Defense, as the former 49ers pass-rush and 2019 second-team All-Pro has 2.5 sacks […]

Sam Darnold Practices In Full Thursday

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday, which is a sign he's heading toward a return in Week 12 against the Dolphins.

Mitchell Trubisky Practices, Nick Foles Doesn't

For the second straight day, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (shoulder) practiced in full on Thursday, while Nick Foles (hip) did not practice.

Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Randy Arozarena was released in Mexico's Yucatan state on Thursday prior to a hearing following allegations of domestic violence, according to sources.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers center A.Q. Shipley (neck), who has been filling in as a starter the last two weeks, may be dealing with a career-ending neck injury, according to head coach Bruce Arians.

Rams Defense Puts Micah Kiser On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Rams placed starting inside linebacker Micah Kiser (knee), their leading tackler, on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Backup Troy Reeder, who started eight games last year and had three sacks in his lone start this year, is expected to start with Kiser out. Kiser has been really solid on the interior of the […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Misses Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ribs) did not practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Chark is now in danger of sitting out in Week 12 against a vulnerable Browns Defense unless he gets in at least a limited practice on Friday. As of right now, the 24-year-old should be considered a […]

Todd Gurley II, Hayden Hurst Miss Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons running back Todd Gurley II (knee) and tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) were held out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Fantasy managers definitely don't want to see Gurley and a knee injury mentioned in the same sentence. He played a season-low 36 percent of the snaps in Week 11, […]

Julio Jones, Calvin Ridley Limited Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Julio Jones (hamstring) and Calvin Ridley (foot) were limited in practice on Thursday. The Falcons announced earlier this week that Jones would be a game-time decision in Week 12 against the Raiders, but the good news is that he's been limited in two practices this week. However, he played only 22 […]

Jeff Driskel Being Put On COVID-19 List

Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio said that backup quarterback Jeff Driskel will be put on the team's Reserve/COVID-19 list. It's unclear if Driskel actually tested positive for the virus, but either way, he's unlikely to be active as a backup in Week 12 against the Saints. Even if Driskel were active on Sunday, he'd […]

Broncos Defense Not On The Radar In Week 12

The Denver Broncos Defense played a huge part in the Week 11 upset win over the Dolphins, sacking rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa six times and recording an interception to hold Miami to 13 points. They'll face a Saints team this weekend without future Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees, but that might actually be a […]

Brandon McManus Has Limited Ceiling Against Saints

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus ranks ninth in the NFL with a 95.2 percent field-goal percentage in 10 games this year, missing just one of his 21 field-goal attempts. He's also missed just one of his 19 extra-point attempts. McManus hasn't missed a kick since missing an extra point in Week 7 against the Chiefs. […]

K.J. Hamler Offers Little Upside Against Saints

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler has 26 targets in the last three games, which he has turned into 14 catches for 160 yards. Hamler has seen his role increase in the last three weeks, but he has only one touchdown in his rookie season and 25 receptions for 275 yards in eight total […]

Tim Patrick Looking For Fourth 100-Yard Game

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick had his third 100-yard game of the season in last week's win over the Dolphins, and he's been incredibly efficient considering quarterback Drew Lock's struggles in his first full season as the starter. The Saints Defense, Denver's Week 12 opponent, has been more vulnerable through the air than on […]

Larry Fitzgerald Tests Positive For COVID-19

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has tested positive for COVID-19 and will miss Week 12 against the Patriots, according to sources. It's a bad time for this to happen, since Fitzgerald had at least 54 yards in three of his last four games and led the Cardinals with 10 targets in Week 11's loss […]

Phillip Lindsay Has Become An RB4

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay and the team's running game showed some much-needed life in the surprising Week 11 win over the Dolphins. Lindsay saw 16 carries (one more than teammate Melvin Gordon) and ran for 82 yards. In Week 10, he had just four rushing attempts for a measly two yards against the […]

Melvin Gordon III's Ceiling Lowered In Week 12

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III got back into the good graces of his fantasy managers in Week 11 by rushing 15 times for 84 yards and two touchdowns in the win over the Dolphins. But those expecting back-to-back solid performances in fantasy might be disappointed. He'll be facing a Saints Defense that has […]

D'Andre Swift Officially Ruled Out

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift (concussion) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's Thanksgiving game against the Texans. It'll be the rookie's second straight missed game and will leave Detroit's backfield to veteran Adrian Peterson and Kerryon Johnson. Peterson started last week against the Panthers and then split touches with Johnson. They weren't […]

Dolphins Not Worried About Tua Tagovailoa's Injury

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said he's not worried about the injury that rookie quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) suffered in practice on Wednesday.

Washington Wants Alex Smith Back In 2021

Washington Football Team head coach Ron Rivera and his staff want quarterback Alex Smith back for the 2021 season, according to sources.

Terry McLaurin, Dustin Hopkins Expected To Play

Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin (ankle) and kicker Dustin Hopkins (groin) are expected to play on Thursday in the Thanksgiving game against the division-rival Cowboys.

D'Andre Swift Unlikely To Play Thursday

Detroit Lions rookie running back D'Andre Swift (concussion), who was listed as questionable for the Thanksgiving game on Thursday against the Texans, is unlikely to play, according to sources.
