Mark Andrews Back At Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Andrews continues to fight through his foot injury and is being rested during the week, but he continues to play on game day and has caught a touchdown in three out of the first four games. Despite recent […]

DeSean Jackson Not Practicing Again Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is not practicing for the second straight day on Thursday. All signs are pointing toward D-Jax missing his second straight game. Plan to be without him again for Week 5 against the Jets. Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins should work in three-receiver sets, with rookie J.J. […]

Marlon Mack Out Again Thursday

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Mack still has a chance at playing in Week 5 against the Chiefs on Sunday night, but he'll need to return to practice on Friday in order to do so. Because of the injury and the fact that the […]

T.Y. Hilton Returns To Practice Field

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (quadriceps) was back on the practice field on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It gives his fantasy owners hope that he can play on Sunday night against the Chiefs after missing Week 4. Still, Hilton will likely be questionable this week and will be a tough call for […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Not Practicing

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) did not practice again on Thursday. Adams did a little jogging off to the side and Williams went through stretching. Both are currently on the wrong side of questionable right now, and it seems like a stretch to think that Williams […]

Saquon Barkley Misses Practice Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. However, Barkley looked good during individual drills at practice on Wednesday, and the Giants aren't yet ruling him out for Week 5 against the Vikings. He's ultimately doubtful to suit up, but a return as early as Week […]

CC Sabathia Left Off ALDS Roster

New York Yankees starting pitcher CC Sabathia (shoulder) is being left off the roster for the American League Division Series against the Twins. Manager Aaron Boone said that Sabathia's shoulder didn't bounce back well after his last relief appearance. The left-hander had a cortisone injection and threw a simulated game on Tuesday. Sabathia could be […]

James Paxton To Start Game 1 Against Twins

The New York Yankees have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Twins. James Paxton will go in Game 1 on Friday, followed by Masahiro Tanaka in Game 2 and Luis Severino in Game 3. Paxton, a left-hander, went 15-6 with a 3.82 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 186 strikeouts in […]

Tyler Glasnow Starting Game 1 Of ALDS

The Tampa Bay Rays have set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against the Astros. Tyler Glasnow will go in Game 1 on Friday, followed by Blake Snell in Game 2 and Charlie Morton, who won the wild-card game against the A's, in Game 3. The Rays have an uphill battle to […]

Ronald Acuna Leading Off In Game 1 Of NLDS

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (groin) is starting in center field and hitting leadoff against Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday. Acuna missed most of the final week of the regular season with his injury, but he's good to go and will be a popular DFS […]

Kolten Wong Starting In Game 1

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) is starting at the keystone and is hitting seventh against Braves left-handed starter Dallas Keuchel in Game 1 of the National League Division Series on Thursday. Wong missed the final 10 games of the regular season due to his injury, but he's healthy now and ready to […]

Jalen Ramsey Not Expected To Practice Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) is not expected to practice on Thursday. Ramsey hasn't practiced with the team since the Thursday night game on Sept. 19 and has publicly requested a trade. He sat out in Week 4 against the Broncos and is looking like a long shot to play in Week 5 against […]

Mike Nugent Replacing Stephen Gostkowski

The Patriots have signed free-agent kicker Mike Nugent to replace Stephen Gostkowski, who was placed on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Gostkowski is a candidate to return later this year, but Nugent will handle the kicking duties for New England in the meantime. The second-round pick back in 2005 played in three games for the Raiders […]

Chris Godwin Back At Practice, Breshad Perriman Still Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hip) returned to practice on Thursday, but wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) remains out. Godwin will be good to go for Week 5 in a solid matchup against the Saints at the Superdome. He was questionable leading into Week 4 but nearly put up 200 yards receiving and […]

Michael Gallup Hasn't Run At Full Speed

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) said the true test of whether he can play in Week 5 against the Packers will come at practice on Thursday. Gallup said he hasn't run at full speed yet but can cut. “It’s all really right here,” Gallup said, tapping his head. “The doc says my knee […]

Raiders Hopeful Tyrell Williams Can Play

Oakland Raiders wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) hasn't been able to practice this week, but offensive coordinator Greg Olson is hopeful that Williams will respond well to rest and be able to play in Week 5 in London against the Bears. Fantasy owners will be much more amenable to starting Williams if he gets in […]

Melvin Gordon May Start Against Broncos

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon will "definitely" be a part of the team's game plan in Week 5 against the Broncos, and he could be the starter over Austin Ekeler, according to head coach Anthony Lynn. The Chargers "don't want to overdo it" with Gordon, but Lynn said he will surely have a […]

Jarvis Landry Still In Concussion Protocol

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol on Thursday. With the Browns playing on Monday night this week against the 49ers, it's going to be extremely hard to trust Landry in fantasy lineups unless he's cleared before Sunday. Odell Beckham Jr. will need to pick up the slack if […]

Vikings Say Stefon Diggs Isn't Available For Trade

The Minnesota Vikings are adamant that wide receiver Stefon Diggs is not available for a trade, barring a massive deal. The wideout is frustrated with his lack of targets this year in a run-first offense and wasn't at practice on Wednesday for non-injury reasons. It's fair to wonder if Diggs has privately requested a trade, […]

Travis Benjamin, Virgil Green Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Travis Benjamin (hip) and tight end Virgil Green (groin) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Benjamin and Green are both on track to play in Week 5 against the Broncos after being inactive in Week 4. Benjamin will only be a WR4/flex or DFS sleeper if Mike Williams (back) […]

Walker Buehler To Start Game 1 Of NLDS

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Walker Buehler will start Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Nationals on Thursday. Buehler, not Clayton Kershaw, will get the nod in the series opener. The 25-year-old was lights-out this year, going 14-4 with a 3.26 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 215 K's in 182 1/3 innings […]

Jeff McNeil Undergoes Surgery On Wrist

New York Mets infielder/outfielder Jeff McNeil (wrist) had surgery on Wednesday to fix a fractured bone in his right wrist. McNeil finished fourth in the National League with a .318 average and should be ready well in advance of spring training next year. On top of the impressive average, he slugged 23 home runs, scored […]

Ender Inciarte Likely Done For The Season

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte (quadriceps) is dealing with a right quadriceps strain and is likely done for the rest of the season. Inciarte last played on Aug. 16 and played in only 65 games this year due to injuries. He posted a slash line of .246/.343/.397 with five home runs, 24 RBI and seven […]

LeSean McCoy Limited On Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back LeSean McCoy (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Shady should be able to suit up in Week 5 on Sunday night against the Colts. However, his RB2 status could be in jeopardy with Damien Williams (knee) returning to a full practice after missing the last two weeks. […]

Vernon Davis In Concussion Protocol

Washington Redskins tight end Vernon Davis (concussion) is now in the concussion protocol. Jordan Reed also remains in the concussion protocol and hasn't played yet this year, but head coach Jay Gruden said there's no talk of Reed going on Injured Reserve. Other than his Week 1 performance that included a touchdown on bad tackling […]

Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Limited Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receivers Josh Gordon (knee) and Julian Edelman (chest) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be in no danger of missing Week 5 against the lowly Redskins. In a great matchup, both Gordon and Edelman can be safely deployed as WR2s. […]

Justin Verlander Starting Game 1 Of ALDS

The Houston Astros set their starting rotation for the American League Division Series against either the A's or Rays, which begins on Friday. Justin Verlander will go in Game 1, followed by Gerrit Cole and Zack Greinke. No surprise here. The Astros have the best starting rotation in baseball, hands down. Verlander led baseball in […]

Carlos Correa Expected To Play Friday

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that shortstop Carlos Correa (back) is expected to play in Game 1 of the American League Division Series against either the A's or Rays on Friday. Correa hit, threw and took swings against reliever Will Harris on Wednesday and reported feeling great. The 25-year-old has battled injuries again this […]

Mike Williams, Hunter Henry Improving

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that wide receiver Mike Williams (back) is feeling much better and may do individual work at practice on Wednesday. Tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is improving, and the team will see where he's at later this week. The Los Angeles Times' Jeff Miller reported that Henry was […]

Chris Hogan Placed On Injured Reserve

The Carolina Panthers placed wide receiver Chris Hogan (knee) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a left knee injury that he suffered in the Week 4 win over the Texans. General manager Marty Hurney said that Hogan will undergo an arthroscopic procedure and will be a candidate to return after eight games. Hogan has […]
