Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Not Practicing Friday

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are both out of practice again on Friday. Mattison is working on the side with a strength coach. Both players are on track to sit out on Monday night against the Packers, so you shouldn't plan on having either back for the fantasy finals. […]

Nelson Agholor Could Be Shut Down

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said the team will consider shutting wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) down for the rest of the season because his knee has gotten worse. Agholor hasn't practiced all week and is set to miss his third straight game in the biggest contest of the year against the Cowboys, with […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Will Play Against Cowboys

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside's (foot) injury isn't serious, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Eagles were just playing it safe when they kept him limited in practice on Thursday, and he will play in the important divisional tilt against the Cowboys this Sunday. Arcega-Whiteside had zero catches in Week 15, however, […]

Kerryon Johnson May Be Limited If He Returns

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said that running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) could be held back somewhat if he comes off Injured Reserve to play in Week 16 against the Broncos. "Don't know if you want to use the word 'limit,' just try to be smart," Patricia said. Johnson could get the start this […]

Rashaad Penny Undergoing ACL Surgery Friday

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is undergoing ACL surgery on Friday, according to a source. The surgery is being performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in sports medicine. Penny is expected back for the 2020 season, but he might be cutting it close depending on how he bounces back over […]

DeSean Jackson Could Return In Postseason

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) has been running, doing some light sprinting, some light cutting and catching the football, and he could return in the second round of the playoffs if the Eagles beat the Cowboys this Sunday and win the NFC East. D-Jax underwent core surgery on Nov. 5 and is roughly […]

Julian Edelman Expected To Play Saturday

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder), who is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Bills, is expected to play on Saturday. Fantasy owners never really expected Edelman to miss this important divisional game, even though his injuries held him to just two catches for nine yards in the Week 15 […]

Devante Parker Good To Go For Week 16

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Devante Parker (hip) was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. He'll be all systems go in Week 16 in an excellent matchup with the listless Bengals. Parker is having a breakout season with the rebuilding Dolphins, catching 59 passes (102 targets) for 954 yards and […]

Felix Hernandez Unlikely To Return To Seattle

The Seattle Mariners are unlikely to re-sign starting pitcher Felix Hernandez, even to a minor league deal. King Felix didn't have much of a market at the winter meetings in San Diego, and the speculation is that he'll have to settle for a minor league deal if he wants to continue pitching. The veteran right-hander […]

Mariners Interested In Taijuan Walker

The Seattle Mariners are interested in a reunion with starting pitcher Taijuan Walker (elbow) after they drafted him in the first round back in 2010. The 27-year-old right-hander would add depth to a rotation that is rebuilding, and he's still young enough to have upside if he's healthy moving forward. Walker is a bounce-back candidate […]

Twins Still Involved In Josh Donaldson Sweepstakes

The Minnesota Twins and the Nationals are believed to have made four-year offers to third baseman Josh Donaldson. If they sign the 34-year-old, they will move Miguel Sano from the hot corner across the diamond to first base. The Braves and Dodgers remain in the mix as well, but they might be reluctant to go […]

Christian Kirk Back At Practice Thursday

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. The Cardinals were likely just resting Kirk on Wednesday with only two games remaining in the season. Kirk has mostly been quiet this year with two 100-yard games and three touchdowns (all in one game […]

Josh Donaldson Could Sign Soon

Executives are expecting third baseman Josh Donaldson to sign soon, and it could be a National League East battle between the Nationals and Braves. The belief is the Nationals have the biggest offer -- potentially for four years -- but Donaldson is expected to give the Braves a chance to counter. The Twins, Rangers and […]

Shohei Ohtani Done With Tommy John Rehab

Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow) is done with his Tommy John rehab and has been cleared to return to Japan. The Japanese two-way star will return in late January, at which time the Angels will plan out his workload for the 2020 season. Los Angeles is understandably being cautious with the […]

Richard Sherman Returning To 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 16 against the Rams on Saturday. Sherman will only end up missing one week. It's great news for San Francisco's defense in an important divisional tilt, but they'll also be missing defensive end […]

Greg Zuerlein Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (quadriceps) missed practice all week but is questionable for Week 16 against the 49ers on Saturday. The Rams worked out free-agent kicker Brett Maher on Thursday, an indication that Zuerlein won't be healthy enough to kick for the team on Saturday. Legatron is basically a must-start fantasy kicker when […]

Gerald Everett To Return In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) practiced in full the last two days and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the 49ers on Saturday. Everett has missed the last three games, and in that time Tyler Higbee went for over 100 yards in each game. In a […]

Hunter Renfrow Ready To Return

Oakland Raiders rookie wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) has been running for weeks now and said he's fully ready to return in Week 16 against the Chargers. Renfrow has missed the last three games, but he's been limited in practice this week and appears ready to return this Sunday. The 23-year-old rookie has only 36 […]

Kerryon Johnson Hoping To Play In Week 16

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), who remains on Injured Reserve, said he "hopes" to play in Week 16 against the Broncos. He's been getting stronger by the week, but the final decision on whether he'll be activated to play this weekend isn't up to him. All signs are pointing toward Johnson seeing most […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Dealing With Foot Injury

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (foot) was added to the Week 16 injury report and got in a limited practice on Thursday. Arcega-Whiteside should still be able to play in a huge divisional contest against the Cowboys in Week 16, but fantasy owners shouldn't be trusting him to your starting lineups with fantasy […]

Dion Lewis Added To Injury Report

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report and got in a limited practice on Thursday. Somehow, Lewis has only 38 rushing attempts in 2019 for 134 yards (3.5 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. He's been M.I.A. in the passing game, too, catching 24 passes for 145 […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Bills on Saturday. We all know that Edelman will be active this weekend, but he did only have two catches on five targets for nine yards in a disappointing performance against the one-win Bengals last week. It's […]

Carlos Hyde, Will Fuller Questionable

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde (ankle) and wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Thursday and are questionable for Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday. Both players should be fine to play, but make sure to check in Saturday morning just in case. Hyde posted his third 100-yard game […]

Jameis Winston Questionable For Saturday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday but is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Texans on Saturday. Winston has been taking it easy in practices since he suffered a fractured thumb in Week 14, but he went off against the Lions last week and should […]

Rangers Among Teams Interested In Nolan Arenado

The Texas Rangers are among the teams talking to the Colorado Rockies about a potential trade for third baseman Nolan Arenado. The Braves, Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers are other teams that could potentially attempt to trade for the All-Star third baseman. While nothing is imminent, the Rockies are at least gauging interest around the league […]

D.J. Chark Limited Again Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Chark missed Week 15, but he has a chance of playing in Week 16 in a solid matchup against the Falcons. He could ultimately be questionable for this Sunday, but Chark would be in play for championship […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Close To Returning

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. The Steelers ultimately played it safe with Smith-Schuster last week and held him out, but he looks to be on track to play in Week 16 against the Jets. The team's No. 1 receiver hasn't played […]

Joe Mixon Limited On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (calf) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday after being a full participant on Wednesday. It's a mid-week setback, but Mixon still looks to be on track to suit up in Week 16 against the Dolphins. In one of his best matchups of the season, he'll be a […]

Dak Prescott May Not Throw Until Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) said his AC sprain is "getting better" and that he'll "be good to go Sunday" in a huge divisional tilt against the Eagles. He might throw on Friday but at the latest he'll resume throwing on Saturday. All signs point to Prescott suiting up for a game that will […]

Derrick Henry, Adam Humphries Not Practicing

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) both missed practice on Thursday. The Titans are likely just resting their workhorse running back after he practiced on Wednesday. Humphries seems unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Saints, and he wouldn't be on fantasy radars even if he were […]
