Tigers Interested In Robinson Chirinos

The Detroit Tigers are showing interest in catcher Robinson Chirinos, according to a source. With Grayson Greiner and prospect Jake Rogers currently on roster, the Tigers would probably be looking at a short deal with Chirinos until Rogers is ready for the everyday role. Chirinos hit .238/.347/.443 with 17 long balls and 58 RBI in […]

Rangers Could Consider Maikel Franco

The Texas Rangers will consider third baseman Maikel Franco if Anthony Rendon signs elsewhere. Franco would be a significant downgrade from the MVP candidate, but a change of scenery to a very hitter-friendly park in Texas could be the spark that Franco needs to realize his true potential. The 27-year-old Dominican hit just .234/.297/.409 with […]

Salvador Perez Could See Time At First Base

Kansas City Royals manager Mike Matheny said it's a realistic possibility that catcher Salvador Perez (elbow) sees significant playing time at first base in his return from Tommy John surgery in 2020. Perez is coming off a lost season in 2019 after having elbow reconstruction. But he should return to being one of the more […]

Cubs Not Working On Extension For Anthony Rizzo

The Chicago Cubs will not be offering first baseman Anthony Rizzo a contract extension this winter, according to Rizzo's agent, Marc Pollack. "Anthony has let his desire to be a Cub for life known to the organization. Although we do not know what the future holds, a deal to make that happen will not be […]

Alexander Mattison Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. There's still a chance that Mattison can play in Week 15 against the Chargers, but nothing is guaranteed. With Dalvin Cook (chest) seeing a full workload against the Lions last Sunday, Mattison would be nothing more than a little-used backup against the […]

Dodgers Shifting Focus To Madison Bumgarner

The Los Angeles Dodgers are shifting their focus to starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner now that Gerrit Cole chose the Yankees, according to sources. It would be extremely odd to see a lifelong Giants pitcher in blue and white, but it could happen. MadBum isn't the dominant left-hander that he was in his prime with San […]

White Sox Acquire Nomar Mazara

The Chicago White Sox acquired outfielder Nomar Mazara from the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night in exchange for minor league outfielder Steele Walker. The 24-year-old Mazara hit .268 with 19 home runs, 66 RBI and a .786 OPS in 2019. He projects to make around $5.5 million in arbitration and is eligible for free agency […]

Will Fuller Limited In Practice

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) was limited in practice on Wednesday after being inactive in the Week 15 loss to the Broncos. Fuller could be a game-time decision this Sunday against the Titans. If he sits out a second straight game, Kenny Stills and Keke Coutee would have bigger roles alongside top wideout […]

Saints Defense Loses Marcus Davenport, Sheldon Rankins

The New Orleans Saints officially placed defensive end Marcus Davenport (Achilles) and defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday. The combination of losing both defensive linemen is a pretty big blow to this Saints Defense to close out the year. Davenport, a first-round pick in 2018, had 31 tackles, six sacks […]

Vance McDonald, Jaylen Samuels Miss Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (concussion) and running back Jaylen Samuels (groin) both were missing from practice on Wednesday. Not only is McDonald questionable for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night, but he hasn't cleared 50 yards the entire season and has only three touchdowns. He has just five catches for 25 […]

David Njoku Limited In Practice Wednesday

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Njoku returned in Week 14 from a wrist injury that landed him on Injured Reserve after Week 2, and he played limited snaps on his way to just one catch for four yards in the win over the Bengals. The 23-year-old should […]

Gerald Everett Considered Day-To-Day

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) is considered "day-to-day" by head coach Sean McVay. "His knee is making progress, but not ready to get out there and practice with us yet." Everett has essentially been day-to-day since suffering the injury in Week 13. He's missed the last two games as a result and […]

Jordan Howard Limited Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Jordan Howard (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Howard has been close to playing for weeks it seems, but he has yet to be cleared and hasn't seen the field since Nov. 3 against the Bears. If he does return in Week 15 against the Redskins, he could […]

Nelson Agholor Remains Out Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) remained out of practice on Wednesday after sitting out on Monday night against the Giants. Agholor has a chance to be fantasy relevant as the team's No. 1 receiver with Alshon Jeffery (foot) now done for the year in the final three games, but there's no guarantee that […]

Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella Limited In Practice

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Andy Isabella (shoulder) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be on track to play in Week 15 against the Browns, but we'll keep an eye on their status the rest of the week. Kirk had eight catches on nine targets for 85 yards […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner Practicing In Full

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) and running back James Conner (shoulder) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday. The Steelers are expecting to get both players back for Week 15 against the Bills on Sunday night. Smith-Schuster and Conner have both been out since Nov. 14 and will return to a difficult […]

Julian Edelman Not At Practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Edelman has been on the injury report pretty much all year with nagging injuries, but he manages to play every week and remains quarterback Tom Brady's favorite aerial target. Edelman had eight catches on 12 targets for 95 […]

Devonta Freeman Held Out Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (knee) was held out of practice on Wednesday. The Falcons are likely just giving Freeman some rest early in the week after he went for 84 yards and his first rushing touchdown of the season on 17 carries in Week 14 against the Panthers. It was a breath of […]

Eli Manning Likely To Make Another Start

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is likely to make his second straight start in Week 15 against the Dolphins despite rookie Daniel Jones (ankle) returning to a limited practice on Wednesday, according to a team official. It could be the 38-year-old Manning's final home start for the G-Men. The decision will ultimately be head […]

Tyler Lockett Ready To Go

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll thinks that wide receiver Tyler Lockett (illness, shin) is "really back" and ready to go for Week 15 against the Panthers. Since his 152-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Buccaneers on Nov. 3, Lockett has been missing in action for his fantasy owners. He hasn't gone over four catches or […]

Taylor Gabriel, Ben Braunecker Still In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and tight end Ben Braunecker (concussion) are still in the league's concussion protocol and didn't practice on Wednesday. Wide receiver Javon Wims (knee) also missed practice. Gabriel and Braunecker are questionable, at best, and obviously shouldn't be counted on in fantasy lineups for Week 15 against the Packers. […]

John Ross Lands On Injury Report

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (foot) was limited in practice on Wednesday. In his return from Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the Browns, Ross was pretty much invisible, catching two of three targets for just 28 yards. The speedster is now dealing with a foot injury, but he should be able to play […]

Derrick Henry, Adam Humphries Sidelined

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Henry has been by far the best running back in football in the second half of the season. He's gone over 100 yards rushing in four straight games against the Chiefs, Jaguars, Colts and Raiders […]

Noah Fant Will Not Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos rookie tight end Noah Fant (foot) will not practice on Wednesday, but his outlook is "positive overall." Fant caught all four of his targets for 113 yards and his third touchdown of the season in the surprising win over the Texans in Week 14. In his first game with quarterback Drew Lock last […]

Greg Olsen Takes Part In Individual Drills

Carolina Panthers tight end Greg Olsen (concussion) took part in individual drills at practice on Wednesday. It's a good start to the practice week for Olsen, but he'll still need to be cleared from the league's protocol before he can play in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Ian Thomas had five catches for 57 yards […]

D.J. Chark Misses Practice Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Chark was seen wearing a walking boot on Monday and is listed as week-to-week, so there's a chance he may not play again this season. Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley are both worth using in fantasy lineups this weekend against the Raiders if […]

Evan Engram, Golden Tate, Daniel Jones Limited In Practice

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot), wide receiver Golden Tate (foot) and rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was also limited. Engram has been out since Nov. 4, but he'd be a solid TE1 option against the Dolphins this weekend if he's […]

Devante Parker, Albert Wilson In Non-Contact Jerseys

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Devante Parker (concussion) and Albert Wilson (concussion) are both at practice in non-contact jerseys on Wednesday. Both players are still in the concussion protocol after suffering head injuries in Week 14. Parker and Wilson should be considered questionable to play in Week 15 against the Giants until they're cleared from the […]

Damien Williams Back On Practice Field

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) is back on the practice field on Wednesday. Williams has been out since Week 11. In Week 14 against the Patriots, all three of LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware were involved in Kansas City's backfield. A Williams return in Week 15 against the Broncos would […]

Scott Miller Returns To Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scott Miller (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 14 game against the Colts. With Mike Evans done for the year, Miller could have a significant role in the final three games of the season if he's able to make it back this weekend against the Lions […]
