Padres To Work On Extension For Fernando Tatis Jr.

The San Diego Padres intend to open discussions with shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. on a long-term contract extension this offseason. The idea would be to buy out Tatis' arbitration years, which would mean a deal of at least six years and likely longer. The superstar shortstop won't turn 21 until Jan. 2, but he finished […]

Joe Staley Has Surgery, Likely To Miss A Few Games

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (finger) underwent surgery on his fractured finger and will likely miss a few games, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Staley had just returned on Monday night from a fractured leg, so it's a tough break for both the veteran and San Francisco's offensive line. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo […]

Gerald Everett Limited, Tyler Higbee Misses Practice

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while Tyler Higbee (knee) sat out. Everett has had a breakout season in 2019 with 34 catches (56 targets) for 365 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. He had a season-high eight grabs on 12 targets for […]

Ronald Jones II Improving As Pass-Catcher

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II can do more in the passing game as his route tree grows in his second season. Jones has taken a big step forward after a terrible rookie season, and it looks like the Bucs are ready to put more on his […]

Paul Richardson Misses Practice Wednesday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's especially concerning coming out of the team's bye week, but Richardson still has a chance to play in Week 11 against the Jets if he can return to practice later this week. Even in a great matchup if Richardson suits up, he […]

Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas Limited Wednesday

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (back, shoulder) and Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback this week, both players should be able to play in Week 11 in a nice matchup against the Redskins. Anderson has been a bust this year with quarterback Sam Darnold taking […]

Le'Veon Bell Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee, illness, ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. Bell should be able to play in Week 11 against the Redskins, but he's clearly not 100 percent. He found the end zone last Sunday, but his overall line still had to be considered a disappointment considering he was going […]

Marquise Brown Gets In Limited Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Brown was targeted just four times in the blowout win over the Bengals in Week 10 and played limited snaps, but he made them count for 80 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season. The speedy deep threat should be […]

Jordan Howard Limited In Practice Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Howard should be able to play coming off the team's by week, but his practice participation the rest of the week should be monitored. If he plays against the Patriots in Week 11, Howard will remain on the RB2/3 […]

Andrus Peat Out Six Weeks With Broken Arm

New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl offensive guard Andrus Peat (arm) underwent surgery on Wednesday for a broken arm that he suffered in Week 10, and he's expected to be out for six weeks, according to a source. It's bad news for a Saints offense that surprisingly struggled to protect quarterback Drew Brees against a bad […]

No Practice For Alex Erickson

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson (back) did not practice on Wednesday. Erickson has benefitted from A.J. Green (ankle) not playing at all this season, securing 25 of 38 targets for 343 scoreless yards in eight games. Still, he hasn't been fantasy relevant as the No. 3 receiver in an offense that is now being […]

Giovani Bernard Good To Go

Cincinnati Bengals running back Giovani Bernard (knee) wasn't listed on the Week 11 injury report after reportedly suffering a sprained knee in the Week 10 loss to the Ravens. It's good news for the Bengals offense, but it probably won't matter this weekend against the Raiders. If anything, Bernard's presence is bad news for Joe […]

Jack Doyle, Parris Campbell Sidelined Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (shoulder) and rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell (hand) both missed practice on Wednesday. Doyle has scored in back-to-back weeks while accumulating 66 yards on six catches. He's been a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy owners while sharing time with Eric Ebron. His Week 11 status will be important, as Ebron […]

Chris Thompson, Vernon Davis Remain Sidelined

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) is still "out with injury," according to interim head coach Bill Callahan. Tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol coming out of the bye week. Thompson has been out since Week 6 and has no timetable for a return from his turf toe injury. […]

Trey Burton Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears tight end Trey Burton (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Burton has been a non-factor in both real life and fantasy in 2019, catching just 14 passes (24 targets) for 84 yards in eight games. He's gone catchless on just two targets the last two weeks, so he's obviously not on the fantasy […]

David Montgomery Lands On Injury Report

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) is on the Week 11 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's likely nothing serious, but it's worth keeping an eye on heading into the weekend. The rookie hasn't been great in his first year, averaging 3.6 yards per carry, but his volume out […]

Adam Thielen Misses Another Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) missed practice on Wednesday. Thielen is headed for his second straight missed game with the team's bye week coming in Week 12. You should prepare to be without him in Week 11 against the Broncos. Stefon Diggs has had two slow weeks with Thielen injured, and that could […]

Devin Funchess Returns To Practice

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich said that wide receiver Devin Funchess (clavicle), who was put on Injured Reserve after the season opener, returned to practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 11 against the Jaguars. Funchess had three catches for 32 yards against the Chargers in Week 1, and he could have a significant role […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Questionable Against Steelers

Cleveland Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (knee) was able to practice in full on Wednesday, but he's questionable for Thursday night against the Steelers in Week 11. Defensive end Olivier Vernon (knee) missed practice all week and has been ruled out. RSJ sat out in Week 11 and will be a game-time decision. He has […]

Adam Gase Will Return To Jets In 2020

New York Jets chief executive officer Christopher Johnson said that head coach Adam Gase will return next season despite a current 2-7 record. "I want to assure you there will be no changes in coaches here," Johnson said in an opening statement to reporters. "Adam has the trust of this team. He has the trust […]

James Bradberry On Track To Return In Week 11

Carolina Panthers cornerback James Bradberry (groin) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 10 loss to the Packers. The Panthers will need Bradberry this Sunday in order to slow down Falcons top wideout Julio Jones. Jones' matchup will get much tougher if Bradberry is shadowing him this weekend, but the veteran wideout will […]

Jacoby Brissett Expected To Start Sunday

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) went through a full practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Frank Reich. Barring a setback, Brissett will return to game action in Week 11 against the Colts after sitting out the Week 10 loss to the Dolphins. He's dealing with a sprained MCL in his left knee, but […]

Amari Cooper Sits Out Wednesday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle, knee) did not practice on Wednesday. The Cowboys are likely just resting their No. 1 wideout coming off an 11-catch, 147-yard, one-touchdown performance in the Sunday night loss to the Vikings. Cooper has four 100-yard games this year, including a 226-yard outing against the Packers, and seven touchdowns. […]

Matthew Stafford, Ty Johnson Miss Practice

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) and running back Ty Johnson (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Stafford missed his first game in Week 10 since 2010, and he's not a lock to return this Sunday against the Cowboys. He'd be more of a risky QB1 in a tough matchup at less than 100 […]

Aqib Talib Won't Play For Dolphins Defense

Miami Dolphins cornerback Aqib Talib (ribs) will not come off Injured Reserve this year. Talib was dealt from the Rams to the Dolphins at the trade deadline in a move to help save Los Angeles some salary after they traded for cornerback Jalen Ramsey. With the veteran Talib set to be a free agent in […]

Alshon Jeffery Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson is calling wide receiver Alshon Jeffery (ankle) "day-to-day" after he missed practice on Wednesday. It's surprising coming out of the bye week, but Jeffery could be questionable to play Sunday afternoon in a tough matchup against the Patriots and cornerback Stephon Gilmore. If Jeffery suits up, he'll be a […]

Week 10 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

If you had the 49ers in your pool for the last remaining unbeaten team in 2019 before the season started, well, you're probably lying. They had a scare from the Cardinals on Halloween but pulled it out on the road to go to 8-0. The NFL's only other undefeated team, the Patriots, faced their first […]

Russell Okung Injured Thursday Night

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Russell Okung (groin) suffered a groin injury on Thursday night against the Raiders and didn't return in the second half. Okung had just recently returned from blood clots, so this is just another setback for the team's starting left tackle. If he's forced to miss additional time, it'll be bad […]

Josh Gordon, Luke Willson Limited Thursday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) and tight end Luke Willson (ribs) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Gordon should be able to make his season debut for Seattle on Monday night against the undefeated 49ers. But against an elite defense and as the No. 3 wideout behind Tyler Lockett and rookie D.K. […]

James Conner, Trey Edmunds, Benny Snell Out Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running backs James Conner (shoulder), Trey Edmunds (ribs) and Benny Snell Jr. (knee) all missed practice on Thursday. Edmunds and Snell haven't practiced yet this week, while Conner was downgraded after a limited practice Wednesday. Conner isn't expected to play in Week 10 against the Rams, and both Edmunds and Snell are on […]
