Allen Robinson II Expected To Play Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and is expected to play in Week 8 against the Saints. Robinson missed practice all week, making it seem unlikely on Friday that he would be able to suit up on Sunday. But it looks like fantasy managers can return him […]

Frank Gore Questionable To Face Chiefs

New York Jets running back Frank Gore (hand) is listed as questionable to play in Week 8 against the Chiefs. Gore was limited in practice on both Wednesday and Friday but sat out on Thursday. You really shouldn't trust anyone in this atrocious Jets offense not named Jamison Crowder, and he's not expected to play […]

Adam Shaheen Listed As Questionable Against Rams

Miami Dolphins tight end Adam Shaheen (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Rams. Shaheen was a limited participant in practice all week, so he has a good shot at playing this Sunday. Just signed to a two-year extension worth up to $7.85 million this week, the 26-year-old has scored in each […]

Tyler Higbee Questionable Against Dolphins

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (hand) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Dolphins. Higbee was limited in practice all week, so he has a good chance to play this weekend after being a late scratch last in Week 7. Gerald Everett won't be a TE2 streamer if Higbee returns, which […]

Dallas Goedert Being Activated To Play Sunday Night

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to activate tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) from Injured Reserve for the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cowboys, according to sources. It's a bit of a surprise, as most expected Goedert to return closer to Week 10, but apparently he impressed the coaches and medical staff during practice this […]

Broncos Defense Looking To Create More Turnovers

The Denver Broncos Defense will face a rising young star in Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert in their Week 8 divisional matchup. Herbert has 12 touchdowns, three interceptions and a 108.1 QB rating in five games, and the Broncos D has allowed a QB rating of 92.5 this year. They'll be looking to limit the […]

Brandon McManus On The Streaming Radar In Week 8

Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus never had a chance to deliver for fantasy managers in Week 7 against the Chiefs in snowy conditions. A week after being the hero with six made field goals against the Patriots, McManus made one field goal and went 1-for-2 on extra points. In a Broncos offense that has been […]

Is Albert Okwuegbunam For Real?

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Albert Okwuegbunam has emerged in the last two weeks as quarterback Drew Lock's favorite target.

Noah Fant Moving Past His Ankle Issue

Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant (ankle) was taken off the final Week 8 injury report and is good to go for Sunday's game against the division-rival Chargers. Fant was limited in practice on Wednesday, but he got in full practices both Thursday and Friday. The second-year tight end missed Week 6 because of the […]

K.J. Hamler Still Looking To Make A Mark

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler returned last week after missing a month with a hamstring injury, but he didn't do much in the 43-16 blowout loss to the Chiefs, catching two of his three targets for 24 yards. He also ran the ball once for 10 yards. Hamler saw seven targets in the […]

Jerry Jeudy Could See More Targets In Week 8

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Jerry Jeudy showed up on the team's Week 8 injury report with a shoulder injury, but he practiced in full all week and is good to go for Sunday against the Chargers. An impressive route-runner with very quick feet, Jeudy's potential hasn't manifested itself yet through six games. He's seen […]

Tim Patrick Receives Questionable Tag

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hamstring) missed practice all week but is considered questionable for Week 8 against the Chargers. Patrick has been the team's most reliable fantasy receiver so far in 2020 in what has been an inconsistent offense, seeing at least four targets in each game while going over 100 yards receiving […]

Phillip Lindsay Questionable For Week 8

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (concussion) is listed as questionable for Week 8 against the Chargers. Lindsay did not practice on Wednesday, but he got in limited action both Thursday and Friday, at least giving him a chance to be cleared before Sunday's game. The 26-year-old was more effective than Melvin Gordon in Week […]

Drew Lock Not Trustworthy Against Chargers

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock just hasn't looked good since returning from a shoulder injury two weeks ago. In a 43-16 blowout loss to the division-rival Chiefs last weekend, Lock went 24-for-40 for only 254 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions for the second straight week. He salvaged his stat line by rushing for a […]

Braves Interested In Adam Wainwright

The Atlanta Braves are interested in free-agent starting pitcher Adam Wainwright, 17 years after he pitched for current manager Brian Snitker at Double-A Greenville. The 39-year-old would provide the Braves mostly inexperienced rotation with a veteran presence. The two-time Cy Young runner-up is a free agent after 15 seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, but […]

Phillies Open To Retaining J.T. Realmuto

Philadelphia Phillies president Andy MacPhail said that he is optimistic that the team can re-sign  free-agent catcher J.T. Realmuto. It will be interesting to see if the Phillies put their money where their mouth is in regards to Realmuto, who is widely considered to be the best offensive catcher in the game. The two-time All-Star […]

Red Sox Talking With Alex Cora

The Boston Red Sox are expected to interview former manager Alex Cora in the coming days, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.

Indians Pick Up Roberto Perez's Option

The Cleveland Indians decided to pick up catcher Roberto Perez's $5.5 million team option for the 2021 season on Friday. Perez has been excellent for the Tribe while handling one of the American League's best pitching staffs. A shoulder injury likely had something to do with Perez hitting just .165 with one home run and […]

Brad Hand, Carlos Santana, Domingo Santana Become Free Agents

The Cleveland Indians declined 2021 options on relief pitcher Brad Hand ($10 million), first baseman Carlos Santana ($17.5 million) and outfielder Domingo Santana ($5 million) on Friday, making them free agents.

Cubs Likely To Pick Up Anthony Rizzo's Option

The Chicago Cubs are likely to pick up first baseman Anthony Rizzo's $16.5 million option for the 2021 season before the Sunday deadline, according to sources. The Cubs did the same for the 31-year-old before last season, picking up a similar $16.5 million option for 2020. Rizzo continues to be a stalwart at first base […]

Cubs Decline Jon Lester's Option

The Chicago Cubs declined starting pitcher Jon Lester's $25 million team option on Friday, making him a free agent. The 36-year-old southpaw was at the end of his six-year, $155 million deal with the Cubs, but he could still return on a lesser deal. Lester will receive a $10 million buyout. The three-time World Series […]

Carlos Hyde Doubtful For Week 8

Seattle Seahawks running back Carlos Hyde (hamstring) didn't practice all week and is listed as doubtful for Week 8 against the 49ers. It's a shame that he won't be active since both Chris Carson (foot) and Travis Homer (knee) are also injured and are questionable for Sunday. Rookie DeeJay Dallas is the only healthy back […]

Chris Carson, Jamal Adams Questionable Against 49ers

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (foot) and All-Pro safety Jamal Adams (groin, illness) are questionable for Week 8 against the 49ers. No. 3 running back Travis Homer (knee) is also questionable. Carson is a true game-time decision on Sunday.

Joe Mixon To Miss Another Game

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 8 against the Titans.

Backup Giovani Bernard should once […]

Miles Sanders Ruled Out Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (knee) has been ruled out for the Sunday night game against the division-rival Cowboys in Week 8.
