Yankees, Brett Gardner Discussing Reunion

The New York Yankees and free-agent outfielder Brett Gardner are already talking about a deal to keep him in pinstripes. Gardner is the longest-tenured Yankee and set career highs in home runs (28) and OPS (.829) during the 2019 season. He slashed .251/.325/.503 and also scored 86 runs, drove in 74 and stolen 10 bases […]

Braves Making Madison Bumgarner A Priority

The Atlanta Braves have made free-agent starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner a priority this offseason and are planning to quickly communicate with the veteran left-hander, according to league sources. The Braves also discussed Bumgarner at last summer's trade deadline. Bumgarner had a career-high 3.90 ERA last season, but he also threw 207 innings and led the […]

Derwin James Could Return In Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers safety Derwin James (foot), who underwent foot surgery last summer, has been running pain-free and is on track to return from Injured Reserve against the Denver Broncos in Week 13 after the Week 12 bye, according to a source. James was one of the best safeties in the NFL in his rookie […]

Robbie Gould In Doubt For Monday With Strained Quad

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) has a strained quadriceps, and his availability for Monday night against the Seahawks is very much in doubt, according to sources. The 49ers are signing free-agent kicker Chase McLaughlin as a result. If you've been rolling with Gould up to this point, you need to find another option […]

Ricky Seals-Jones Out Again Thursday

Cleveland Browns tight end Ricky Seals-Jones (knee) is not practicing for the second straight day on Thursday. Seals-Jones doesn't look to be on track to playing in Week 10 against the Bills after getting injured last Sunday. Other than one game this year, RSJ hasn't been a reliable fantasy tight end to begin with. If […]

Baker Mayfield: Browns Must Force Feed Odell Beckham Jr.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield thinks the team needs to find more ways to get wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. the ball and to "format things to get him the ball and force feed him early on" in games. Beckham acknowledged recently that his chemistry with Mayfield is still a work-in-progress, and the star wideout […]

Amari Cooper Seeing Doctor Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) underwent an MRI exam on Wednesday and is visiting with a doctor on Thursday to discuss the results. Cooper hurt his knee last week and aggravated it on Monday night. It's definitely something worth watching as we get later into the week, and there's now a chance that […]

Alvin Kamara Expected To Play In Week 10

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said, "I fully expect (Alvin Kamara) to be ready to play" in Week 10 against the Falcons. Kamara returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games, so he's definitely on track to return to action in a great matchup against Atlanta. Kamara should be returned […]

Evan Engram Won't Play In Week 10

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) said he will not play in Week 10 against the Jets, but he hopes to return after that. The injury to his left foot is not a Lisfranc injury, and Engram called it a "low-grade" sprain. “Could be a lot worse,” Engram said. “That was the worry, […]

No Structural Damage For Le'Veon Bell

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell's (ankle, knee) MRI exam showed no structural damage, according to head coach Adam Gase. Bell was held out of practice as a precaution on Wednesday, but the Jets feel that he won't miss Week 10 against the Giants. He saw 25 touches (17 carries, eight catches) in Week […]

Chase Edmonds Not At Practice Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Edmonds sat out last Thursday's loss to the 49ers and is expected to miss at least one more game. With Kenyan Drake being acquired from the Dolphins before the Week 9 contest, Edmonds will lose most of his fantasy value when he returns. […]

T.J. Hockenson Good To Go For Week 10

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (head) was knocked out of the game momentarily in Week 9 against the Raiders, but he practiced in full on Wednesday and said there are no lasting effects from the hit. Hockenson was evaluated for a concussion after his head hit the grass, but head coach Matt Patricia […]

Malcolm Brown Trending In Right Direction

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said that running back Malcolm Brown (ankle) is trending in the right direction to play in Week 10 against the Steelers. Brown has been out since Oct. 13 against the 49ers. If he makes it back this Sunday, he'll likely split backup duties with Darrell Henderson, making both […]

Clay Matthews On Track To Return For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams linebacker Clay Matthews (jaw) is back at practice on Wednesday, and head coach Sean McVay said Matthews will play in Week 10 against the Steelers if all goes well the rest of the week. The former long-time Packer hasn't played since Oct. 3 and has 19 total tackles, six sacks and two […]

Sterling Shepard A Candidate For Injured Reserve

The New York Giants are seriously considering putting wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) on season-ending Injured Reserve after he suffered two concussions this year, according to multiple team sources. Shepard was close to returning in Week 9 before he started feeling concussion symptoms again. He has since been shut down and is in Pittsburgh visiting […]

Trey Edmunds Sidelined Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Trey Edmunds (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. Edmunds is in danger of missing Week 10 against the Rams after rushing 12 times for an impressive 73 yards (6.1 yards per carry) in the Week 9 win over the Colts with James Conner (shoulder) and Benny Snell (knee) out. Conner has […]

Dolphins Claim Gary Jennings Off Waivers

The Miami Dolphins claimed wide receiver Gary Jennings off waivers from the Seahawks, according to a league source. This comes after the team learned that rookie Preston Williams would miss the rest of the season after getting injured in the Week 9 win over the Jets. Jennings was a fourth-round pick by Seattle, but he […]

Dwayne Haskins Expected To Remain The Starter

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan hasn't committed to a starting quarterback coming out of the team's Week 10 bye, but the expectation is that rookie Dwayne Haskins will continue in the role in Week 11 against the Jets, according to sources. Washington didn't want to put much on Haskins' plate in his starting […]

Redskins Activate Derrius Guice From Injured Reserve

The Washington Redskins officially activated running back Derrius Guice (knee) from the Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The second-year back is eligible to play when the team returns from their bye to face the Jets in Week 11. Guice was out all of his rookie year with a torn ACL and was injured in the season […]

Patrick Mahomes Practicing In Full

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday. Mahomes has been out since dislocating his kneecap on Oct. 17 against the Broncos, but he's fully expected to make his return in Week 10 against the Titans, barring a setback this week. The 24-year-old 2018 MVP is a […]

Ito Smith Remains Sidelined

Atlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (neck) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Smith hasn't played since getting stuffed on a pancake block against the Rams on Oct. 20, and it looks like he won't play coming off the bye in Week 10 against the Saints. He remains little more than a fantasy handcuff for […]

O.J. Howard, Cameron Brate Practicing In Full

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight ends O.J. Howard (hamstring) and Cameron Brate (ribs) both returned to a full practice on Wednesday. Howard is on track to return after missing the last two games. He's done very little for fantasy owners that were expecting a breakout this year, hauling in just 13 of his 18 targets for […]

Amari Cooper Expected To Play Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) didn't practice on Wednesday, but the expectation is that he'll play on Sunday night against the Vikings. Cooper hurt his knee in practice last week and jammed it into the turf in the Monday night win over the Giants. He has also worked through heel, ankle and quadriceps […]

Martin Prado Likely To Retire

Miami Marlins third baseman Martin Prado has told friends that he will likely retire this offseason. The 36-year-old played in just 104 games in 2019 and managed 94 games in 2017 and 2018 combined due to injuries. He hit a meager .233/.265/.294 with two home runs and 15 RBI for the Fish last season and […]

Howie Kendrick Drawing Interest From Marlins, Rays

Free-agent infielder Howie Kendrick is drawing a lot of early interest on the free-agent market, most notably from the Rays and Marlins. He's from Florida but lives in the Phoenix area in the offseason. Coming off an extremely productive season and winning the World Series, Kendrick is likely looking for just a one-year deal on […]

Chris Herndon IV Continues To Be Limited

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. Herndon was active for the first time this year in Week 9, but he didn't play a single snap. That should change if he can get in another week of practice ahead of Week 10 against the Giants, but […]

Matthew Stafford Gets In Limited Practice

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) practiced on a limited basis on Wednesday. Stafford should be fine to suit up in Week 10 against the Bears. The 31-year-old is having the finest season of his career so far with 2,499 yards passing (64.3 completion percent), 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. However, he has a […]

Brandin Cooks Ruled Out For Week 10

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) is flying to Pittsburgh to meet with a concussion specialist again on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McVay. Cooks has not cleared the league's protocol and has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Steelers. He has a lengthy history with head injuries, and there's […]

No Practice For Corey Davis, Delanie Walker

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) and tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Davis also missed practice last Wednesday but wound up playing and caught four passes for 48 yards in the Week 9 loss to the Panthers. Davis hasn't gone over 100 yards on the season […]

Christian McCaffrey, Curtis Samuel Miss Practice

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (hamstring) both missed practice on Wednesday. The same thing went down last week before both players were active and scored touchdowns in the Week 9 win over the Titans. McCaffrey is an MVP candidate with the way he's carried Carolina's offense without quarterback […]
