Richard Sherman Returning To 49ers Defense

San Francisco 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman (hamstring) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 16 against the Rams on Saturday. Sherman will only end up missing one week. It's great news for San Francisco's defense in an important divisional tilt, but they'll also be missing defensive end […]

Greg Zuerlein Questionable For Saturday

Los Angeles Rams kicker Greg Zuerlein (quadriceps) missed practice all week but is questionable for Week 16 against the 49ers on Saturday. The Rams worked out free-agent kicker Brett Maher on Thursday, an indication that Zuerlein won't be healthy enough to kick for the team on Saturday. Legatron is basically a must-start fantasy kicker when […]

Gerald Everett To Return In Week 16

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) practiced in full the last two days and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 16 against the 49ers on Saturday. Everett has missed the last three games, and in that time Tyler Higbee went for over 100 yards in each game. In a […]

Hunter Renfrow Ready To Return

Oakland Raiders rookie wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) has been running for weeks now and said he's fully ready to return in Week 16 against the Chargers. Renfrow has missed the last three games, but he's been limited in practice this week and appears ready to return this Sunday. The 23-year-old rookie has only 36 […]

Kerryon Johnson Hoping To Play In Week 16

Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson (knee), who remains on Injured Reserve, said he "hopes" to play in Week 16 against the Broncos. He's been getting stronger by the week, but the final decision on whether he'll be activated to play this weekend isn't up to him. All signs are pointing toward Johnson seeing most […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside Dealing With Foot Injury

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside (foot) was added to the Week 16 injury report and got in a limited practice on Thursday. Arcega-Whiteside should still be able to play in a huge divisional contest against the Cowboys in Week 16, but fantasy owners shouldn't be trusting him to your starting lineups with fantasy […]

Dion Lewis Added To Injury Report

Tennessee Titans running back Dion Lewis (ankle) was added to the Week 16 injury report and got in a limited practice on Thursday. Somehow, Lewis has only 38 rushing attempts in 2019 for 134 yards (3.5 yards per carry) and no touchdowns. He's been M.I.A. in the passing game, too, catching 24 passes for 145 […]

Julian Edelman Questionable Against Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Bills on Saturday. We all know that Edelman will be active this weekend, but he did only have two catches on five targets for nine yards in a disappointing performance against the one-win Bengals last week. It's […]

Carlos Hyde, Will Fuller Questionable

Houston Texans running back Carlos Hyde (ankle) and wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Thursday and are questionable for Week 16 against the Buccaneers on Saturday. Both players should be fine to play, but make sure to check in Saturday morning just in case. Hyde posted his third 100-yard game […]

Jameis Winston Questionable For Saturday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston (thumb) returned to a full practice on Thursday but is listed as questionable for Week 16 against the Texans on Saturday. Winston has been taking it easy in practices since he suffered a fractured thumb in Week 14, but he went off against the Lions last week and should […]

Rangers Among Teams Interested In Nolan Arenado

The Texas Rangers are among the teams talking to the Colorado Rockies about a potential trade for third baseman Nolan Arenado. The Braves, Nationals, Cardinals and Dodgers are other teams that could potentially attempt to trade for the All-Star third baseman. While nothing is imminent, the Rockies are at least gauging interest around the league […]

D.J. Chark Limited Again Thursday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver D.J. Chark (ankle) was limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Chark missed Week 15, but he has a chance of playing in Week 16 in a solid matchup against the Falcons. He could ultimately be questionable for this Sunday, but Chark would be in play for championship […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Close To Returning

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) got in a full practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. The Steelers ultimately played it safe with Smith-Schuster last week and held him out, but he looks to be on track to play in Week 16 against the Jets. The team's No. 1 receiver hasn't played […]

Joe Mixon Limited On Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (calf) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday after being a full participant on Wednesday. It's a mid-week setback, but Mixon still looks to be on track to suit up in Week 16 against the Dolphins. In one of his best matchups of the season, he'll be a […]

Dak Prescott May Not Throw Until Saturday

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott (shoulder) said his AC sprain is "getting better" and that he'll "be good to go Sunday" in a huge divisional tilt against the Eagles. He might throw on Friday but at the latest he'll resume throwing on Saturday. All signs point to Prescott suiting up for a game that will […]

Derrick Henry, Adam Humphries Not Practicing

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry (hamstring) and wide receiver Adam Humphries (ankle) both missed practice on Thursday. The Titans are likely just resting their workhorse running back after he practiced on Wednesday. Humphries seems unlikely to suit up this weekend against the Saints, and he wouldn't be on fantasy radars even if he were […]

Yankees Discussing Joe Panik

The New York Yankees have discussed second baseman Joe Panik, among others, in order to give their roster more left-handed balance. Panik hit an underwhelming .244/.315/.336 with five home runs, 39 RBI and four steals in 142 games between the Giants and Mets in 2019. He doesn't do anything particularly well across any fantasy baseball […]

Royals Officially Sign Maikel Franco

Updating a previous report, the Kansas City Royals signed third baseman Maikel Franco to a one-year, $2.95 million deal on Thursday. He can earn another $1.05 million in incentives. Franco will get a chance to re-establish his value with the rebuilding Royals, where he's expected to enter the 2020 season as the starting third baseman. […]

Royals Emerge As Favorites For Maikel Franco

The Kansas City Royals have emerged as the favorites to sign third baseman Maikel Franco, and a deal could be done soon, according to a source. Once a top prospect for the Phillies, Franco disappointed in 2019 by hitting only .234/.297/.409 with 17 home runs and 56 RBI in his 123 games for Philly. His […]

Gio Gonzalez Going To White Sox

The Chicago White Sox are in agreement on an undisclosed deal with starting pitcher Gio Gonzalez on Thursday. The 34-year-old left-hander was 3-2 with a 3.50 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 78 strikeouts in 87 1/3 innings in 17 starts and two relief appearances for the Brew Crew in 2019. He came over to Milwaukee in […]

Angels Agree With Julio Teheran

The Los Angeles Angels agreed to a one-year deal with starting pitcher Julio Teheran on Thursday, according to a source familiar with the deal. Financial terms of the deal weren't immediately disclosed. Teheran is expected to join Dylan Bundy, Andrew Heaney, Shohei Ohtani and Griffin Canning in the starting rotation in 2020. Teheran, 28, went […]

Curtis Samuel Added To Injury Report

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Curtis Samuel (knee) was added to the Week 16 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. It's definitely concerning, but another limited practice on Friday would put Samuel on track to face the Colts this Sunday during fantasy finals week. The 23-year-old has touchdowns in two of his last […]

Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison Miss Practice

Minnesota Vikings running backs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) are both absent from practice on Thursday. Cook is still holding out hope that he can play on Monday night against the Packers, but reports out on Thursday suggest that is unlikely. We'll get a better read on both his and Mattison's statuses later […]

Kerryon Johnson Expected To Return Against Broncos

The Detroit Lions haven't made anything official yet, but The Athletic's Chris Burke expects running back Kerryon Johnson (knee) to come off Injured Reserve and rejoin the lineup for Week 16 against the Broncos. Johnson would likely start if he were available, but he hasn't played in a game since Oct. 20 against the Vikings […]

Nelson Agholor Not At Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) remained out of practice on Thursday. Agholor is likely to miss his third straight game, and he's in danger of missing Week 17 as well. The Eagles will likely go with three-receiver sets consisting of J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, Greg Ward and Robert Davis in a huge divisional matchup with […]

Rhett Ellison Downgraded To Limited

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was downgraded to a limited practice on Thursday after practicing in full on Wednesday. It's something worth watching entering Week 16 against the Redskins. The 31-year-old hasn't played since Nov. 10 due to his head injury, but he'll leapfrog rookie Kaden Smith as the primary pass-catching tight […]

Will Grier Confirmed As Week 16 Starter

Carolina Panthers interim head coach Perry Fewell confirmed on Thursday that rookie quarterback Will Grier will start in Week 16 against the Colts. The expectation earlier this week was that the Panthers would give Grier the keys to the offense for the final two weeks, and now that is confirmed. With nothing to play for, […]

Dalvin Cook Going Through Normal Preparations

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook (shoulder) said that he's going through his "normal preparation" for the week with hopes that he can play on Monday night against the Packers. "If I’m ready to go, I’m ready to go," Cook said. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported earlier Thursday that it's unlikely Cook will suit up. Especially […]

DeAndre Hopkins Back At Practice Thursday

Houston Texans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out sick on Wednesday. He'll be completely fine to face the Buccaneers this Saturday in Week 16. It couldn't be a better matchup for those in the fantasy finals this weekend, as Tampa's secondary allows the most fantasy points per game […]

Teams Interested In Yoenis Cespedes Trade

The New York Mets have had teams reach out to them in the past week concerning a potential trade for outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, according to a source. There is nothing close or imminent, but some initial conversations have taken place after the Mets restructured Cespedes' contract. The Cuban slugger missed the entire 2019 season due […]
