Blue Jays Sign Yamaguchi Shun

The Toronto Blue Jays signed Japanese pitcher Yamaguchi Shun to a two-year, $6.35 million deal on Friday. He'll receive $3.175 million per season and could make another $1.4 million per year in incentives if he maxes out at 170 innings. The Blue Jays will have another option for their starting rotation after adding Hyun-Jin Ryu, […]

Drew Brees Will Play In Week 17

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (knee) practiced in full on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Panthers. New Orleans can still get the top overall seed and home-field advantage in the NFC with a win and a 49ers loss this weekend, so they'll be playing their starters. […]

Dak Prescott Not On Final Injury Report

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Friday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 17 against the Redskins. Prescott was held out of practice both Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll play in this must-win contest against Washington. While he probably won't be at 100 percent on […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is questionable for Week 17 against the Dolphins. The Patriots must win to keep a first-round bye in the AFC playoffs, so it'd be a huge surprise if Edelman didn't suit up on Sunday. He's been held in check the last two weeks by the Bengals […]

Zach Ertz, Nelson Agholor Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (back, ribs) and wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Giants. Right tackle Lane Johnson (ankle) is questionable. Philly's offense is extremely beat up for this must-win game against New York. With Ertz out, Dallas Goedert will […]

DeAndre Hopkins, Deshaun Watson, Kenny Stills Questionable

Houston Texans wide receivers DeAndre Hopkins (illness) and Kenny Stills (knee) and quarterback Deshaun Watson (back) are all listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Titans. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) is also questionable. With little to play for in the regular season finale, it's possible all of them could be inactive or limited […]

Saints Won't Sign Antonio Brown Right Now

New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton said the team won't sign free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown "right now" after working him out on Friday. Brown's visit was more about "due diligence" at this point of the season, and the team had six receivers at their facility on Friday. Even if Brown were to sign […]

Tyrell Williams Will Play In Week 17

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) will play in Week 17 against the Broncos. The Raiders will likely be without rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) in this must-win divisional tilt, but Williams will be on the field. He opened the season with touchdowns in five straight games, […]

Jamaal Williams Won't Play Against Lions

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that running back Jamaal Williams (shoulder) will not play in Week 17 against the Lions. The Packers will give Williams a rest with a playoff spot already locked up. The team will still be playing for a potential first-round bye this week, though, so expect the Packers […]

Kyler Murray A Game-Time Decision Against Rams

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will be a game-time decision in Week 17 against the Rams. With the Cardinals game one of just three contests with a late-afternoon start this Sunday, Murray becomes an even riskier QB2 for Week 17 fantasy matchups. Los Angeles could be resting […]

Mark Ingram Officially Ruled Out

Baltimore Ravens running back Mark Ingram (calf) has officially been ruled out for Week 17 against the Steelers. Ingram suffered a calf strain in Week 16, and he'll be rested until the Divisional Round of the playoffs. With the Ravens resting most of their starters in a meaningless game for them, Gus Edwards and Justice […]

Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown Questionable

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (ankle) and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) are both questionable for Week 17 against the Steelers. The Ravens have already locked up home-field advantage for the AFC playoffs, so Andrews and Brown will play limited snaps in the regular season finale, if they even play at all. Cornerbacks […]

Taylor Gabriel Ruled Out For Season Finale

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Vikings after missing practice all week. Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (elbow) and nose tackle Eddie Goldman (concussion) were also ruled out. Gabriel has been out since Nov. 24 against the Giants and finishes the 2019 season with a disappointing […]

Adam Humphries, Kalif Raymond Ruled Out

Tennessee Titans wide receivers Adam Humphries (ankle) and Kalif Raymond (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Texans, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Cornerback Adoree Jackson (foot) has also been ruled out, which will be good news for Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins, if he plays. Tajae Sharpe will be the third […]

Jordan Wilkins Ruled Out Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Jaguars. The 25-year-old second-year back will finish with just 51 carries for 307 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games for the Colts. He caught just seven passes for 43 yards. Marlon Mack remains the workhorse for this run-first […]

Corey Davis Passes Concussion Protocol

Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel said that wide receiver Corey Davis (concussion) has passed the league's concussion protocol. Davis will be available for the must-win Week 17 matchup with the Texans. It's good news for the Titans offense with Adam Humphries and Kalif Raymond ruled out, but Davis hasn't moved the fantasy needle much […]

Leonard Fournette, Dede Westbrook, Gardner Minshew Questionable

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette (neck), wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) and rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew (shoulder) are all listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Colts. All three players got in practice time this week, but Fournette didn't practice the last two days. In a meaningless Week 17 contest, the Jaguars […]

Alexander Mattison Questionable Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings rookie running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is questionable to play in Week 17 against the Bears. Dalvin Cook (shoulder) has already been ruled out with the Vikings already locked into the No. 6 seed for the playoffs. If Mattison returns, he'd likely split the workload with both Mike Boone and Ameer Abdullah, making […]

Dalvin Cook Ruled Out Against Bears

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 17 against the Bears. Linebacker Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) has also been ruled out, and the Vikings are expected to rest quarterback Kirk Cousins and other starters because they're already locked into the six seed for the NFC playoffs. With Alexander Mattison a […]

D.J. Moore, Shaq Thompson Ruled Out For Week 17

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Moore (concussion) and linebacker Shaq Thompson (shoulder) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Saints. With nothing on the line in the regular season finale, this shouldn't come as a big surprise. Thompson underwent a procedure on his shoulder on Thursday. In his second season, Moore was the […]

Josh Jacobs Not Expected To Play Against Broncos

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder), who underwent surgery for a skin infection this week, is not expected to play in Week 17 against the Broncos, according to a source. The impressive rookie will likely end his first season in the NFL with an impressive 1,150 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on 242 […]

Terry McLaurin, Landon Collins Ruled Out

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan has ruled out rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (concussion) and safety Landon Collins (shoulder) for Week 17 against the Cowboys. McLaurin will finish his impressive first year in the NFL just short of 1,000 yards receiving (919). He caught 58 passes (93 targets) and scored seven times. If […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Listed As Questionable

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 17 against the Bengals. Beckham was limited in practice this week, so we'd expect him to play in the regular season finale in what has been a lost season for Cleveland after high preseason expectations. OBJ scored last week for the […]

White Sox Not Actively Pursuing Nicholas Castellanos, Yasiel Puig

The Chicago White Sox are not actively involved in the sweepstakes for outfielders Nicholas Castellanos or Yasiel Puig after already trading for Nomar Mazara this offseason. Chicago has made drastic improvements to their roster and have spent $195.5 million in free agency, but they will now look to improve their bullpen. Castellanos is the more […]

Braves Asking About Nolan Arenado

The Atlanta Braves have inquired about Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado, although discussions haven't been active recently, according to sources. The Braves are reportedly wary of the salary commitment for one of the best all-around players in baseball, but Atlanta also has the sort of prospect group that the Rockies would want in any […]

Rhett Ellison, Scott Simonson Ruled Out

New York Giants tight ends Rhett Ellison (concussion) and Scott Simonson (concussion) have been ruled out for Week 17 against the Eagles. With Evan Engram (foot) also done for the year, rookie Kaden Smith will see his sixth straight start for the G-Men. The 22-year-old has 23 receptions for 170 yards and three touchdowns in […]

Dalvin Cook, Kirk Cousins, Other Starters Not Expected To Play

The Minnesota Vikings are planning to treat the Week 17 game against the Bears a a mini bye week, as they are already locked into the NFC's No. 6 seed. The plan is for running back Dalvin Cook, quarterback Kirk Cousins, linebacker Eric Kendricks and other starters to rest, according to a source. That means […]

Chris Godwin Ruled Out For Week 17

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for the Week 17 season finale against the Falcons. One of the most popular 2019 breakout candidates in the preseason, Godwin did not disappoint with a career-high 86 catches (121 targets) for 1,333 yards and nine total touchdowns. It was the 23-year-old's […]

Falcons Will Keep Dan Quinn, Thomas Dimitroff

Atlanta Falcons owner and chairman Arthur M. Blank announced that head coach Dan Quinn and general manager Thomas Dimitroff will be retained into the 2020 season. Additionally, Raheem Morris has been named the defensive coordinator, effective at the end of the 2019 season. Since moving back to defensive duties midway through this season, the Falcons […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Could Return In 2020

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't completely sure of his decision heading into 2020, but he feels good enough to continue playing another season. Physically, Fitzpatrick feels great, and the Dolphins named him their 2019 MVP by members of the media and the organization. He's the team's leading passer (3,209 yards, 19 touchdowns) and their […]
