Melvin Gordon III Out Friday With Illness

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (illness) is not practicing on Friday because of a non-COVID-19-related illness, according to a source. Gordon has practiced this week, but there remains the possibility that the league gives him a two- or three-game suspension after he was charged with a DUI earlier this week. He could appeal […]

Mike Evans, Leonard Fournette, Scotty Miller Up In The Air

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that wide receivers Mike Evans (ankle) and Scotty Miller (groin, hip) and running back Leonard Fournette (ankle) will likely be game-time decisions for Week 6 against the Packers. Evans continues to play through nagging injuries and he was a limited practice participant on Thursday, so we'd expect […]

Chris Godwin Should Be Good For Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians thinks that wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) will play in Week 6 against the Packers. "I think Godwin's going to go," Arians said. Godwin will likely be questionable after getting in limited practices this week, but it sounds as though he's trending in the right direction. He's missed […]

Patriots Cancel Practice After Another Positive COVID-19 Test

The New England Patriots are canceling their practice on Friday after a positive COVID-19 test, according to a source. There is also a second test that they are awaiting to confirm as a positive.

Dustin May To Start Game 5 Against Braves

Los Angeles Dodgers rookie right-hander Dustin May will start Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Friday against the Braves with the Dodgers trying to stave off elimination in the series. Gingergaard went 3-1 with a 2.57 ERA in 12 outings (10 starts) during the regular season, and he hasn't give up a […]

DeSean Jackson Has A Chance To Play Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is optimistic about wide receiver DeSean Jackson (hamstring) making his return in Week 6 against the Ravens. Jackson has been limited in practice this week, but he's on track to return after missing the last two games. Even if the oft-injured deep threat returns on Sunday, he'll be hard […]

Dwayne Haskins Jr. Returns To Facility

Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins Jr. (illness) returned to the team's facility on Friday and is back in meetings after he missed time this week with a gastrointestinal issue. Haskins remains off the fantasy radar, though, after being demoted to the third-string QB behind Kyle Allen and Alex Smith. It remains unclear if Haskins […]

Colts-Bengals On Schedule For Sunday

The Indianapolis Colts COVID-19 tests have come back clean and their game against the Bengals in Week 6 on Sunday remains on schedule, according to owner Jim Irsay. Indianapolis was forced to close their practice facilities on Friday after several positive COVID-19 tests. They were the first COVID-19 issues the Colts had experienced since initial […]

Robby Anderson Proving To Be More Than A Deep Threat

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson is off to the best start of his NFL career in his first year with the Panthers. And he's no longer just a deep threat because of his elite speed, but a complete wide receiver. Anderson ranks third among receivers with 36 catches entering Week 6, and he's fourth […]

La'Mical Perine To Have Much Bigger Role

New York Jets rookie running back La'Mical Perine will have a bigger role in the backfield alongside veteran Frank Gore now that Le'Veon Bell is out of town. "Perine's definitely going to get a bigger role. Frank, you're not going to lean on him as heavy a load. Getting Perine really involved is going to […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Remains Away From Team

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) remains out of the building on Friday per the COVID-19 protocol. All Browns players and staff, including Beckham, tested negative for COVID-19 from Thursday's round of testing, according to a source. That's good news and means that OBJ should be able to play in Week 6 against […]

Falcons Cleared To Reopen Facilities

The Atlanta Falcons have been cleared by the league to reopen their facilities on Friday, according to a source. The Falcons held virtual workouts on Thursday after a positive COVID-19 test, but the result was to an assistant coach and not a player, so the team was taking all precautions. The Falcons had zero new […]

Alshon Jeffery Inching Closer To His Debut

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday. Jeffery is trying to heal up so that he can make his 2020 season debut in Week 6 in an extremely tough matchup against the Ravens Defense. The 30-year-old was also limited in practice last week, but he ultimately did not […]

Julian Edelman Back On Injury Report

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) got in a limited practice on Thursday. Edelman is usually on the team's practice report and gets in limited practices before being active on game day. He'll be facing a Broncos Defense without most of their big-time playmakers this Sunday. Denver also allows the 10th-most fantasy points […]

A.J. Brown Misses Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) missed practice on Thursday. Brown returned to game action last weekend for the first time since Week 1 and didn't miss a beat, catching seven passes for 82 yards and a touchdown against the Bills. The Titans are likely easing Brown back into the practice week after he […]

Kareem Hunt Limited Again Thursday

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt (thigh) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Hunt should be able to face the Steelers on Sunday, barring some kind of setback. He had a season-high 20 carries for 72 yards and caught three passes for 21 yards and a touchdown last week against […]

Jarvis Landry Misses Another Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (hip, ribs) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. Landry will need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday to have a chance at facing the Steelers in Week 6. The matchup is a good one, too, as Pittsburgh has given up the fifth-most […]

Laviska Shenault Jr. Gets In A Limited Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie wide receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Unless he suffers a setback later this week, Shenault should be good to go in Week 6 against the Lions. The impressive rookie has seen his role expand in an offense that loves to […]

D.J. Chark Jr., Tyler Eifert Missing From Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark Jr. (ankle) and tight end Tyler Eifert (neck) were both missing from practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Chark is now in jeopardy of missing the Week 6 matchup against the Lions. If he's out this weekend, rookie Laviska Shenault Jr., Keelan Cole and Chris Conley would operate […]

Le'Veon Bell Signs One-Year Deal With Chiefs

The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back Le'Veon Bell to a one-year deal on Thursday just two days after he was released by the New York Jets. Bell sat out the 2018 season after three Pro Bowl selections and two All-Pro nods with the Steelers and looked like a shell of his former self in […]

Adrian Peterson Misses Practice With Illness

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson (illness) did not practice on Thursday. As far as we know, Peterson's illness isn't COVID-19-related, so he has a good chance of being active in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The Lions are coming off their bye week and AD had 11 carries for 36 yards and a touchdown […]

Darius Slayton Limited Thursday

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) was a limited practice participant on Thursday. Barring any setbacks on Friday or Saturday, Slayton should be good to go in Week 6 against Washington. Although the Washington Football Team is holding wideouts to the third-fewest fantasy points through five weeks, Slayton remains a safe WR2 target […]

A.J. Green Not Looking To Be Traded

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green said that he's not looking to be traded ahead of the upcoming NFL trade deadline. Green said he believes that the Bengals are building something special and wants to be a part of it. The veteran wideout has been a shell of his former All-Pro self in 2020 and […]

Luis Garcia Starting For Astros In Game 5

The Houston Astros will go with rookie pitcher Luis Garcia as the starter in Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Rays on Thursday. Garcia appeared in just five games in 2020, making only one start in the abbreviated season. He had a 2.92 ERA and nine strikeouts in his 12 1/3 […]

Cam Newton, Stephon Gilmore Return To Practice

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton and cornerback Stephon Gilmore have been removed from the COVID-19 list and returned to practice on Thursday. Newton missed the Week 4 game after a positive COVID-19 test, but he will be back on the field this Sunday against the Broncos, where he'll be a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 for […]

Melvin Gordon III Returns To Practice Thursday

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III returned to practice on Thursday. Gordon was charged with driving under the influence earlier in the week, and head coach Vic Fangio is currently undecided on whether the team will allow Gordon to play in the Week 6 matchup with the Patriots. The NFL could also hand down […]

John Curtiss To Be Used As Opener In Game 5

The Tampa Bay Rays will use right-handed pitcher John Curtiss as their opener for Game 5 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Thursday. Curtiss went 3-0 with a sparkling 1.80 ERA in 25 inning during the shortened regular season. But it hasn't been smooth sailing in the playoffs, as he's posted […]

Leighton Vander Esch Could Play On Monday Night

Dallas Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy said that linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (collarbone) is expected to put in a full practice on Thursday, which would put him in line to make his return on Monday night against the Cardinals. Vander Esch has been out since he broke his collarbone in Week 1. Dallas' defense needs […]

Sam Hubbard Put On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed starting defensive end Sam Hubbard (elbow) on Injured Reserve on Thursday after he suffered a left elbow injury in the Week 5 loss to the Ravens. The team also lost defensive tackle D.J. Reader to a season-ending quadriceps injury. Hubbard will miss at least three weeks and won't be eligible to […]

Dalvin Cook Misses Practice Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (groin) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Cook was feeling much better on Wednesday and considers himself day-to-day, but two missed practices so far this week doesn't bode well for him playing in Week 6 against the Falcons, especially since the team has their bye week […]
