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 […]

Jameis Winston Day-To-Day With Fractured Thumb

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb), who suffered a fractured thumb in the Week 14 win over the Colts, is currently day-to-day ahead of Week 15 against the Lions. He's likely to be limited in practice this week and his status is up in the air against Detroit on Sunday. “I think it’s getting […]

Adam Thielen Expected To Return Against Chargers

Barring a setback in practice this week, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is expected to return for Week 15 against the Chargers after missing the last four games with his injury, according to a league source. Thielen returned to practice on Wednesday, so he's definitely on the right track. The Chargers have allowed […]

Marvin Jones Lands On Injured Reserve

The Detroit Lions placed wide receiver Marvin Jones (ankle) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday after he suffered his injury in the Week 14 loss to the Vikings on the final drive. Head coach Matt Patricia said he's unsure if Jones will need surgery. The 29-year-old had 62 catches this year for 779 yards and nine […]

Ty Montgomery Questionable For Thursday

New York Jets running back Ty Montgomery (foot, hip) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 15 against the Ravens on Thursday night. With Le'Veon Bell out last week with an illness, Montgomery had just nine carries for 31 yards and caught three passes for 30 yards. Bell is expected back […]

Ryan Griffin, Bilal Powell, Demaryius Thomas Out

New York Jets tight end Ryan Griffin (ankle), running back Bilal Powell (ankle, illness) and wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) will not play Thursday night against the Ravens. Griffin and Powell are both officially out, while Thomas is doubtful to play. Daniel Brown and rookie Trevon Wesco will help fill in with Griffin out, […]

Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews Questionable

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (quadriceps) and tight end Mark Andrews (knee) are both listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Jets on Thursday night. Jackson practiced in full on Wednesday and is fully expected to play. If you own Jackson, you're not benching him whatsoever in a great matchup. Andrews is obviously much […]

Josh Jacobs Expected To Return In Week 15

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder), who sat out in Week 14 against the Titans, had positive results from his MRI exam and is expected to return to action in Week 15 against the Jaguars, according to sources. Barring a setback this week, Jacobs should only have a one-week absence. Jacobs has been […]

Week 14 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

It's finally here... The fantasy playoffs for most leagues. Hopefully you have a chance to win a fantasy championship in the next few weeks. If you're lucky, you have a first-round bye and won't have to worry about anything this week except for picking out a Christmas tree and setting up all your holiday decorations. […]

Gerrit Cole The Priority For Yankees

The New York Yankees are making signing starting pitcher Gerrit Cole their top offseason priority and have ownership-level approval to offer him a record-setting deal, according to sources familiar with the team's plans. The 29-year-old right-hander, who led baseball in strikeouts in 2019, is set to smash David Price's record contract for a pitcher of […]

Michael Pineda Returning To The Twins

The Minnesota Twins agreed to re-sign starting pitcher Michael Pineda to a two-year, $20 million deal on Thursday, according to a baseball source. Pineda will miss the first month-plus of the 2020 season while finishing off a suspension, but the big right-hander has plenty of upside, especially while staying in pitcher-friendly Minnesota. The 30-year-old Dominican […]

Gerald Everett Absent Thursday

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Everett is on his way to missing his second straight game unless he can return to practice on Friday. If you've been using Everett at the tight end spot, you need to look elsewhere in the first week […]

Tony Pollard Inactive For Thursday Night

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Bears. Pollard missed two days of practice this week, so he was on the wrong side of questionable to begin with. Ezekiel Elliott has been the bell-cow back all season, so Pollard, 22, has just 58 carries for […]

Nationals Can't Afford Both Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon

Washington Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner said that the team can't afford to re-sign both starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg and third baseman Anthony Rendon this offseason. "They’re huge numbers. We already have a really large payroll to begin with," Lerner said. Washington could still bring both players back, but it's highly unlikely. Strasburg, who was […]

Marlon Mack Practicing In Full

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (hand) returned to a full practice on Thursday. Mack has been sidelined since Nov. 17, but he's well on his way to returning to action in Week 14 against the Buccaneers. In a tough matchup against Tampa's defensive front and possibly at risk of sharing touches with Jonathan Williams, […]

Vikings Expect Dalvin Cook To Be Close To 100 Percent

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that he expects running back Dalvin Cook (chest) to play in Week 14 against the Lions and be close to 100 percent. Cook left the Monday night game against the Seahawks and didn't return, but he said shortly after that he planned on playing this Sunday, and he's […]
