Falcons Won't Shut Down Julio Jones, Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said he's not considering shutting down wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) or quarterback Matt Ryan (ankle) for the final four games of the season. Jones sat out Thursday night against the Saints. Ryan's ankle is recovered, but he's taken 15 sacks in the last two games. They'll both have […]

Patriots Expected To Sign Kai Forbath

The New England Patriots are expected to sign kicker Kai Forbath to replace Nick Folk (appendix) for Week 13 against the Texans, according to sources. Forbath kicked in three games for the Jaguars last year and was the Vikings full-time kicker in 2017. Kicking for the Patriots is typically a good thing since their offense […]

Chase Edmonds On Track To Return

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) returned to a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Edmonds is on track to play in Week 13 against the Rams. With David Johnson still hobbled and playing second fiddle to the effective Kenyan Drake in this backfield, Edmonds could be the backup against LA […]

Gerald Everett Misses Practice Again

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Everett hyperextended his knee in the Monday night loss to the Ravens and is in serious danger of missing Week 13 against the Cardinals in an excellent matchup. Arizona is one of the worst teams at defending the […]

T.J. Hockenson On Crutches After Thanksgiving Game

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (undisclosed) was spotted on crutches after the Thanksgiving loss to the Bears on Thursday. With just four games left in the season, it's possible that Detroit chooses to shut down their rookie in a lost year. Hockenson caught six of 11 targets for only 18 yards on Thursday. […]

Mike Williams Gets In Full Practice

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Williams was always expected to play this Sunday after coming off the Week 12 bye. His matchup against the Broncos on the road with a struggling quarterback in Philip Rivers isn't ideal, though. Denver has […]

No Practice For Dante Pettis

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday. Pettis suffered a knee injury during practice on Wednesday and is now seriously in doubt to face the Ravens in Week 13. Even if Pettis were to suit up this weekend, he is completely off the fantasy radar after failing […]

George Kittle Limited Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after being rested on Wednesday. Kittle's Week 13 status shouldn't be in any doubt at all after he returned last Sunday night to go off for over 100 yards and a touchdown against the Packers. Even against a strong Baltimore […]

Mohamed Sanu Limited Again Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Sanu was close to playing in the Week 12 win over the Cowboys, but there's a better chance he'll suit up for Sunday night's showdown against the Texans in Week 13. If he does, it'll push […]

Zach Ertz Not Practicing Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) wasn't listed as practicing for Thursday's estimated practice report. It's just an estimation, but Ertz also didn't practice on Wednesday, so his status for Week 13 against the Dolphins is in doubt. It'll comfort his owners if he's able to practice on Friday, and he'd be a top-two […]

Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen Limited Thursday

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (chest) and wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) were both listed as limited for the estimated practice report on Thursday. Cook should be fine to play on Monday night against the Seahawks and is a must-start fantasy commodity. Thielen, on the other hand, is highly questionable after having a slight […]

Nationals Bring Yan Gomes Back

The Washington Nationals agreed to a two-year, $10 million deal to re-sign catcher Yan Gomes on Wednesday night, according to sources. Gomes will rejoin Kurt Suzuki for Washington's catching tandem in 2020 as they try to defend their World Series title. The 32-year-old was the least effective of the two options in D.C. last year, […]

Drew Lock Seeing First Reps At Practice

Denver Broncos rookie quarterback Drew Lock (thumb) is seeing the first repetitions at practice again on Thursday over Brandon Allen. Lock remains on Injured Reserve, but the Broncos could activate him before this Sunday's game in order for him to make his NFL debut against the Chargers. All signs so far are pointing to Lock […]

Golden Tate, Evan Engram, Rhett Ellison Miss Practice

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) and tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) all missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. All three players are in serious danger of missing Week 13 against the Packers. It would mean that Sterling Shepard, Darius Slay and Cody Latimer would operate […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A DNP Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Smith-Schuster has cleared the concussion protocol, but his knee is the bigger issue and he's unlikely to suit up in Week 13 against the Browns. You shouldn't be counting on him to help your fantasy team […]

James Conner Gets In Limited Practice

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) got in a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. It means that Conner has a shot to play in Week 13 against the Browns after sitting out in Week 12, but he's still not a guarantee to return this weekend. Unless we get confirmation that […]

Derrick Henry Returns To Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) returned to practice on Thursday after leaving early on Wednesday with a hamstring injury. It looks like Henry will be just fine to face the Colts in Week 13 unless he suffers a setback. The 25-year-old has been a beast for fantasy owners in recent weeks, and while […]

Odell Beckham Jr. Remains Limited In Practice

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) remained limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. OBJ should be fine to play in Week 13 against the Steelers. He had six receptions, 84 yards and just his second touchdown of the season in Week 12 against the Dolphins and continues to trend […]

T.Y. Hilton Suffers Setback, Out For Week 13

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) suffered a slight setback in practice on Wednesday and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Titans. He remains week-to-week. Hilton has been hurt for much of the year, and he won't be a lock to return in Week 14. Zach Pascal, Chester Rogers and Marcus […]

Nick Folk Out For Week 13

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (appendix) will miss Week 13 against the Texans after undergoing an appendectomy, according to a source. The procedure was done laparoscopically, which is minimally invasive, meaning that Folk should only miss one game and return in Week 14. The Patriots will need to add a kicker before Sunday night, […]

Damien Williams Not Practicing Thursday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) was not present at practice for the portion open to the media on Thursday. It's his second straight missed practice coming off the Week 12 bye, so Williams doesn't look to be on track to suit up for Week 13 against the Raiders after getting injured in […]

David Blough Expected To Start Thursday Over Jeff Driskel

The Detroit Lions are expected to start rookie David Blough on Thursday against the Bears, according to sources. Jeff Driskel (hamstring) is too sore to start, but he's expected to serve as the backup. Driskel is nothing special, but he at least offered some rushing ability with his legs as a low-end QB2. Both Kenny […]

Zach Ertz Has Been Playing Through Injury

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring), who didn't practice on Wednesday, initially suffered his injury last week and played through it in the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. Ertz should be able to play again this weekend against the Dolphins, but we'd like to at least see him return to practice later this […]

Robbie Gould Practicing In Full

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Gould hasn't kicked for the team since Halloween, but there's a good chance he'll return for Week 13 against the Ravens. The 36-year-old wasn't very effective for the Niners before his injury, going 13-for-20 on his field-goal attempts (65 percent) […]

Mariners Sign Patrick Wisdom

The Seattle Mariners signed corner infielder Patrick Wisdom to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday. Sources indicated that the deal is a split minor league/major league contract. The 28-year-old spent most of 2019 at Texas' Triple-A affiliate in Nashville, slashing .240/.332/.513 with 15 doubles, 31 home runs and 74 RBI in 107 games. He went […]

Orioles Put Jonathan Villar On Waivers

The Baltimore Orioles have put second baseman Jonathan Villar on waivers. They've been trying to trade him before Monday's non-tender deadline. The middle infield speedster is due a big raise in salary arbitration after slugging 24 home runs and stealing 40 bases in 2019 for the last-place Orioles. Even on a really bad O's team […]

Pirates Hire Derek Shelton As Manager

The Pittsburgh Pirates hired Derek Shelton as their new manager on Wednesday. It will be his first managerial job after he spent the last two seasons as the Twins bench coach. Shelton was also a quality control coach for the Blue Jays in 2017 and was the hitting coach for the Rays for seven years. […]

Rays Acquire Brian O'Grady, Cut Jesus Aguilar

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired first baseman/outfielder Brian O'Grady from the Reds on Wednesday in exchange for a player to be named and cash. In a corresponding move, first baseman Jesus Aguilar was designated for assignment. O'Grady, 27, hit .280 with 28 home runs, 77 RBI and 20 stolen bases with Triple-A Louisville, although he […]

Orioles Looking To Trade Dylan Bundy

The Baltimore Orioles are working to trade starting pitcher Dylan Bundy, according to a source. A deal isn't imminent, but one appears to be getting close. The 27-year-old right-hander was 7-14 with a 4.79 ERA for the last-place O's in 2019 and will be entering the second of three arbitration-eligible seasons. Bundy has the ability […]

Padres Agree With Drew Pomeranz

The San Diego Padres agreed to a four-year, $34 million deal with left-hander Drew Pomeranz on Wednesday, according to sources. The 31-year-old southpaw had a tidy 2.39 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 45 strikeouts and eight walks in 26 1/3 innings of relief for the Brewers last year after starting the year in San Francisco's […]
