Michael Brantley Could Be Backup Plan For Yankees

The New York Yankees are in need of more left-handed hitting, and they've had contact with four-time All-Star outfielder Michael Brantley. However, Brantley seems like a Plan B in case the team cannot re-sign second baseman DJ LeMahieu. Brantley will turn 34 in May and could be limited to a short-term deal because of his […]

Red Sox Showing Interest In Eddie Rosario

The Boston Red Sox have some interest in free-agent outfielder Eddie Rosario after he was non-tendered by the Twins on Wednesday, according to sources. Rosario would likely have to play right field in Fenway Park, but manager Alex Cora selected Rosario to play for Team Puerto Rico during the 2017 World Baseball Classic. Andrew Benintendi […]

Red Sox Acquire Minor-Leaguer Christian Koss

The Boston Red Sox acquired minor league infielder Christian Koss from the Colorado Rockies on Thursday in exchange for minor league left-handed pitcher Yoan Aybar. The 22-year-old Koss was a 12th-round pick in 2019 and was an All-Star in the Rookie-level Pioneer League in 2019. He hit .332 (63-for-190) with 11 home runs, 51 RBI, […]

Ravens Not Tipping Their Hand On Lamar Jackson

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't say whether reigning NFL MVP quarterback Lamar Jackson would play on Tuesday night against the Cowboys in Week 13 after he tested positive for COVID-19 last week and sat out of the loss to the Steelers on Wednesday. He'll complete his 10-day quarantine this weekend, and he could […]

Clyde Edwards-Helaire Out Sick Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs rookie running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire and cornerback Bashaud Breeland missed Thursday's practice with a non-COVID-19-related illness. You'll want to keep an eye on Edwards-Helaire's practice status on Friday. If for some reason he can't face the division-rival Broncos in Week 13, Le'Veon Bell would vault into the RB2 conversation. CEH was a […]

Phillip Lindsay Trending Towards Playing Sunday

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after not practicing on Wednesday. It gives him a chance to play in Week 13 on Sunday night against the division-rival Chiefs. Lindsay was injured in the blowout loss to the Saints in Week 12 and had just nine carries for 20 […]

Josh Allen Lands On Week 13 Injury Report

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (ankle, knee) was on the team's Week 13 injury report on Thursday, but he was a full participant in practice.

Deebo Samuel Held Out As Precaution

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel (hamstring) was held out of practice as a precaution on Thursday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Samuel proved that he was fully healthy in his return in Week 12 against the Rams by catching 11 passes for 133 yards. That should ease any concerns that fantasy managers […]

Dalvin Cook Remains Limited In Practice

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. Cook was banged up in the Week 12 win over the Panthers, but the Vikings continue to downplay his injury and he should be fine for Week 13 against the Jaguars and their terrible defense. […]

Nick Foles Expected To Be Backup Against Lions

Chicago Bears quarterback Nick Foles (hip) returned to a full practice on Thursday and is expected to serve as the backup to Mitchell Trubisky in Week 13 against the Lions. Until Trubisky either plays his way out of the starting job again or gets injured, it looks like Foles will hold the clipboard on the […]

Khalil Mack Expected To Play Sunday

Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (back) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but head coach Matt Nagy said Mack was held out as a precaution and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Lions. The 29-year-old pass-rusher should be ready to go if he can get in a limited practice […]

A.J. Brown, Jonnu Smith Sit Out Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (hip) and tight end Jonnu Smith (knee) were sidelined at practice on Thursday. Brown wasn't on the injury report on Wednesday, so this is something to watch. As long as he practices on Friday, he should be good to go for Week 13 against the Browns as a must-start […]

Zach Ertz Gets In Limited Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ankle) and cornerback Darius Slay (calf) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Ertz was also limited on Wednesday and appears likely to make his return from Injured Reserve in Week 13 against the Packers. He's been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 6. His return will […]

Josh Jacobs, Nelson Agholor Miss Another Practice

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (ankle), wide receiver Nelson Agholor (ankle) and safety Johnathan Abram (knee) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday. Jacobs hurt his fantasy managers in Week 12 when he had just 10 touches in the loss to the Falcons before leaving with an injury. Both he and […]

Salvon Ahmed Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Salvon Ahmed (shoulder) practiced on a limited basis on Thursday. Ahmed was also limited on Wednesday after missing the Week 13 win over the Jets. The impressive youngster had 33 carries for 128 yards and a touchdown and caught six passes for 36 yards in Weeks 10 and 11 with […]

Kyler Murray A Full Practice Participant Thursday

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (shoulder) was a full practice participant on Thursday. Murray injured his shoulder in the Week 11 loss to the Seahawks and played through it in last week's loss, but his production has dipped in the last two games. Is that a coincidence? Probably not. Murray didn't score a single touchdown […]

Blue Jays Non-Tender Travis Shaw

The Toronto Blue Jays non-tendered third baseman Travis Shaw and reliever A.J. Cole on Wednesday, making them both free agents. Shaw signed a one-year deal for $4 million last December, and he hit .239 with six home runs and a .717 OPS in 50 games after an extremely disappointing 2019 season in Milwaukee in which […]

Franco was in line for a big raise -- projected […]

D'Andre Swift Cleared From Concussion Protocol

The Detroit Lions removed rookie running back D'Andre Swift (concussion) from the injury report on Thursday, meaning that he has cleared the league's concussion protocol. If you were planning on using Adrian Peterson or Kerryon Johnson in your starting lineups in Week 13 against the Bears, you better look for other options. Swift missed the […]

Archie Bradley, Brian Goodwin Non-Tendered

The Cincinnati Reds declined to tender contracts to relief pitcher Archie Bradley, outfielder Brian Goodwin, infielder/outfielder Kyle Farmer, catcher Curt Casali and reliever R.J. Alaniz on Wednesday. Farmer was quickly re-signed to a one-year deal. Bradley, 28, was acquired from the Diamondbacks in 2020 and had a 1.17 ERA in six games as a setup […]

Rockies Non-Tender David Dahl

The Colorado Rockies non-tendered center fielder David Dahl on Wednesday, making him a free agent. The team also declined to offer 2021 contracts to catcher Tony Wolters and right-hander Chic Chi Gonzalez. Dahl was an All-Star in 2019 but has dealt with plenty of injuries and was set to make $2.55-$2.6 million via the arbitration […]

Nomar Mazara, Carlos Rodon Non-Tendered

The Chicago White Sox declined to tender 2021 contracts to outfielder Nomar Mazara and left-handed pitcher Carlos Rodon on Wednesday. They also signed left-hander Jace Fry to a one-year, $862,500 contract to avoid arbitration. Mazara, 25, slashed just .228/.295/.294 with one homer and six doubles in 149 plate appearances in 42 games last year after […]

Josh Gordon Reinstated

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon has been reinstated by the league and will be eligible to return for the final two games of the season after being suspended indefinitely in December of last year for violating the league's policies on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse. He can begin COVID-19 testing Friday and will […]

Adam Duvall Non-Tendered By Braves

Franco experienced biceps soreness and shoulder inflammation while playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic and flew back to the U.S. earlier this week to […]

Mets Making Serious Push For James McCann

The New York Mets are in active talks with free-agent catcher James McCann and are making a serious push for him, according to league sources. A deal isn't close yet, but it's looking likely that he'll receive a four-year deal. If New York lands McCann, it could signal that they are going after other top […]

Adam Gase Admits Failure With Sam Darnold

New York Jets head coach Adam Gase admitted that he's failing in his attempt to groom quarterback Sam Darnold. "I came here to help him, help him develop his career, and we haven't been able to do that," said Gase. Darnold is 0-7 this year -- he missed four games with a shoulder injury -- […]

Colts Defense Activates Denico Autry From COVID-19 List

The Indianapolis Colts activated defensive lineman Denico Autry from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday. Autry, who leads the team with six sacks this year, has missed the last two games.

Joe Burrow Has Successful Surgery

Cincinnati Bengals rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) underwent successful surgery on his knee on Wednesday and is expected to make a complete recovery.

D'Andre Swift Still In Concussion Protocol

Detroit Lions interim head coach Darrell Bevell said that rookie running back D'Andre Swift (concussion), who missed the Week 12 loss to the Texans on Thanksgiving, is still working through the league's concussion protocol.
