The Cleveland Indians signed second baseman Cesar Hernandez to a one-year, $6.25 million deal on Monday, according to sources familiar with the agreement. Hernandez will form a middle infield tandem with Francisco Cervelli, unless the Tribe deals the All-Star shortstop this winter. Hernandez, 29, hit .279/.333/.408 with 14 home runs, 77 runs scored, 71 RBI […]

Marlins Agree With Francisco Cervelli

The Miami Marlins agreed to a one-year deal with catcher Francisco Cervelli on Monday, according to a source. The deal is believed to be worth $2 million. Cervelli had more concussion problems in 2019 and played in just 48 games as a result with the Pirates and Braves. He hit a weak .213/.302/.348 with three […]

Dwayne Haskins Suffers High Ankle Sprain

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) suffered a high ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the Giants, according to sources, but he'll get an MRI exam and other tests on Monday to make sure. Haskins was 12-for-15 for 133 yards and two touchdowns against New York before his injury. If the rookie […]

Marshawn Lynch An Option For Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks and running back Marshawn Lynch are open to a reunion, and Lynch has told people that he plans to meet with the team on Monday, according to sources. The Seahawks lost running backs Chris Carson (hip) and C.J. Prosise (arm) to season-ending injuries in Week 16, and Rashaad Penny (knee) tore his […]

Philip Rivers Wants To Keep Playing

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said that he still wants to play next season. "I'm capable enough physically and mentally, there's no question," Rivers said after Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Oakland Raiders. "Yes, I do want to play football. I do, and that's how I feel deep down as I stand here." The […]

DeSean Jackson Expected To Practice Soon

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) is expected to rejoin the team on the field soon if the team makes the postseason and advances to the Divisional round, according to a source. Jackson is feeling good after having core surgery, but he's not eligible to return from Injured Reserve until the second round of […]

Kyler Murray's Status For Week 17 Up In The Air

Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray's (hamstring) status for Week 17 against the Rams is up in the air after he was removed from the game early in the Week 16 upset of the Seahawks. He was walking with a slight limp on the sideline in the fourth quarter and had his hamstring wrapped. Backup […]

Will Fuller Won't Play In Week 17

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (groin) will not play in Week 17, and he's likely dealing with a three-week injury, according to sources. Fuller was injured in the Week 16 win over the Buccaneers on Saturday. He has an outside chance to play in the wild-card round and will likely be available if the […]

Blue Jays Agree With Hyun-Jin Ryu

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a four-year, $80 million deal with starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu on Sunday night, according to sources familiar with the deal. The Blue Jays have bolstered their rotation this offseason by signing Ryu, Tanner Roark and Chase Anderson. Ryu is the biggest prize of them all and should be the […]

Chris Carson, C.J. Prosise Likely Done For Season

The Seattle Seahawks fear that running back Chris Carson (hip) suffered a season-ending hip injury in the Week 16 loss to the Cardinals. Left tackle Duane Brown (knee) will have surgery on Monday for an injury that has bothered him for much of the year. Head coach Pete Carroll said that Brown could be back […]

Dee Ford Not Expected To Play In Week 17

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) isn't expected to play in Week 17 against the Seahawks. Ford hasn't played since the Nov. 17 win over the Cardinals, and the Niners will hold him out until the playoffs most likely. San Fran's defense remains one of the better […]

Mark Ingram May Have Avoided Serious Injury

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) left the game early in the Week 16 win over the Browns, but the initial feeling is that he avoided structural damage. Head coach John Harbaugh said that Ingram, who was in a protective boot after the game, will undergo an MRI exam on Monday. The hope is […]

Charles Clay Injured Against Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals tight end Charles Clay (knee) is questionable to return in Week 16 against the Seahawks. Clay caught his only target for a 16-yard gain before suffering the injury. Maxx Williams will be the primary pass-catching tight end if Clay cannot get clearance to return. In an inconsistent passing offense under rookie quarterback Kyler […]

Mason Rudolph Injured Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (shoulder) suffered a left shoulder injury in Week 16 against the Jets and is questionable to return. Rudolph replaced struggling quarterback Devlin Hodges early in the game and managed to go 14-for-20 for 129 yards and a touchdown before suffering his injury. The Steelers also lost running back James Conner […]

Mark Ingram Questionable To Return With Calf Injury

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) injured his calf in Week 16 against the Browns and is questionable to return. This could be a serious injury, and if it is, it's bad news for an explosive offense entering the postseason. The good news is that Baltimore will have a first-round bye and can rest […]

Blue Jays Weighing David Price Trade

The Toronto Blue Jays are exploring all avenues to improve their starting rotation, and a trade for Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price could be in play, according to major league sources. The 34-year-old left-hander spent three months with the Blue Jays in 2015. Toronto has also made an offer to left-handed starter Hyun-Jin […]

Jordan Howard, Nelson Agholor Out Against Dallas

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) are both officially inactive for Week 16 against the Cowboys. This comes as no surprise. Howard has missed the last six games and Agholor will miss his third straight contest. If the Eagles lose this battle for the NFC East title, expect […]

Christian Kirk Active Against Seahawks

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk (ankle) is officially active for Week 16 against the Seahawks. Kirk was expected to play coming into this one. The second-year wideout hasn't really done much other than a three-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers, but he's still the most attractive Arizona receiver as a boom-or-bust WR3. Veteran Larry Fitzgerald […]

Noah Fant Active In Week 16

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (illness, shoulder) is officially active for Week 16 against the Lions. Fant was never really in danger of missing this game after playing through the injury last week. The matchup is a really good one and rookie quarterback Drew Lock gives Fant more upside as a TE2, but […]

Bo Scarbrough Active Against Broncos

Detroit Lions running back Bo Scarbrough (ribs) is active for Week 16 against the Broncos. Scarbrough is returning after a one-week absence, but he won't be fantasy relevant for the fantasy finals with Kerryon Johnson (knee) coming off Injured Reserve. Johnson could have his snaps limited after a two-month absence, but his presence alone in […]

Dwayne Haskins Injures Ankle In Week 16

Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins (ankle) left the Week 16 game against the Giants with a left ankle injury and is questionable to return. Case Keenum has replaced the rookie signal-caller in the third quarter. Haskins was walking the sideline under his own power with a slight limp but was later carted off for […]

Marcus Peters, Jimmy Smith Injured Sunday

Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks Marcus Peters (chest) and Jimmy Smith (cramps) were both injured in Week 16 against the Browns. Peters is questionable to return after dealing a hard hit to running back Dontrell Hilliard. Peters has been an excellent midseason acquisition to the Rams, as his arrival coincided with Baltimore's resurgence overall as a defense. […]

White Sox Talking With Edwin Encarnacion

The Chicago White Sox had talks with first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion at the winter meetings and since. Encarnacion will turn 37 next month, but he still managed to hit .244/.344/.531 with 34 home runs and 86 RBI in 418 at-bats with the Mariners and Yankees. Staying in New York would be ideal for his […]

Blue Jays Make Offers To Hyun-Jin Ryu, Edwin Encarnacion

The Toronto Blue Jays have made competitive offers to starting pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu and first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion. The Jays are still looking to upgrade their rotation after adding Tanner Roark. Ryu has been flying under the radar despite going 14-5 with a 2.32 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 163 strikeouts in 182 2/3 innings […]

Blue Jays Sign Travis Shaw

The Toronto Blue Jays agreed to a one-year, $4 million deal with infielder Travis Shaw on Sunday, according to a source. The deal includes $675,000 in performance bonuses. Shaw hit 30-plus homers in 2017 and 2018 with the Brewers, but he tanked in 2019 and was demoted to Triple-A San Antonio in 2019, hitting .157 […]

D.J. Moore Won't Return In Week 16

Updating a previous report, Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) will not return to the Week 16 game against the Colts after suffering a concussion. Moore caught one of two targets for a measly one yard before his head injury, so he'll wind up being a Week 16 fantasy bust at the worst time. […]

James Conner Injured In Week 16

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (thigh) is questionable to return in Week 16 against the Jets with a thigh injury. It's not a huge surprise, as Conner has been a disappointment to fantasy owners this year because of injuries. Conner ran the ball six times for 32 yards before departing, and he wasn't targeted […]

Mason Rudolph Takes Over For Devlin Hodges

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph has replaced Devlin Hodges under center in Week 16 against the Jets. Hodges came into this one on a short leash after throwing four interceptions in the Week 15 loss to the Bills, and he was yanked against New York after going 7-for-9 for 53 yards and two more picks. […]

D.J. Moore Suffers Head Injury Against Colts

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) suffered a head injury in Week 16 against the Colts and is being evaluated for a concussion. It remains to be seen if he'll be able to return in this game, but it would obviously be a huge loss for fantasy owners on championship weekend. Moore caught one […]

Doug Marrone, Dave Caldwell Have Chance To Stick Around

There is a "good chance" that both Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone and general manager Dave Caldwell return in 2020 following the firing of executive vice president Tom Coughlin, according to sources. Heading into Week 16, Jacksonville sits in last place in the AFC South with a 5-9 record. Free-agent signing Nick Foles broke […]
