David Johnson Questionable For Thursday Night

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice on Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night against the 49ers. He'll be a game-time decision, but fantasy owners may want to stay away even if he's active in this terrible matchup. If DJ returns this week, it'll likely be to a committee backfield […]

Gerrit Cole Could Be Available On Wednesday

Houston Astros starting pitcher Gerrit Cole could be available "in a limited capacity" for Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday against the Nationals, according to manager A.J. Hinch. Cole was fantastic in the Game 5 win on Sunday, allowing only one run while walking two and fanning nine in seven innings. That came […]

Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rex Burkhead Limited

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady (shoulder), wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest, shoulder) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. All three players should be fine for Week 9 against the Ravens on Sunday night, so there's not much to see here. New England faces their most difficult test […]

Justin Verlander Won't Be Available In Game 7

Houston Astros manager A.J. Hinch said that starting pitcher Justin Verlander will not pitch in Game 7 of the World Series against the Nationals on Wednesday. Verlander went five innings in the Game 6 loss on Tuesday, allowing three earned runs on two home runs while walking three and striking out three. Home runs were […]

Kurt Suzuki Returns To Lineup For Game 7

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (hip) is back in the starting lineup for Game 7 of the World Series on Wednesday against Astros starter Zack Greinke. Suzuki is behind the plate and will hit eighth in the lineup. It's Suzuki's first start since Game 3 of the series when the team faced Greinke for the […]

Odell Beckham Jr., Jarvis Landry On Week 9 Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) and Jarvis Landry (shoulder) were both listed as limited participants in practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 9 against the Broncos. Both receivers should be able to suit up on Sunday, but it's something to keep an eye on. There haven't been many high points for either […]

Chase Edmonds Won't Play Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) will not play on Thursday night against the 49ers. This was expected all along after Edmonds was hurt in Week 8 and didn't return. He could miss multiple weeks. David Johnson (ankle) has returned to practice and has a shot to play against San Fran, but the Cardinals […]

Miles Sanders Not Practicing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles rookie running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) is not practicing on Wednesday, but the belief remains that his injury is minor. Sanders was injured in Week 8, but he should be able to suit up in Week 9 against the Bears. The 22-year-old broke off a 65-yard run for his first career rushing touchdown […]

Cam Newton, Curtis Samuel Not Practicing

Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton (foot) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (shoulder) are not practicing on Wednesday. Newton continues to rehab and won't make his return in Week 9 against the Titans. He could be back for Week 10 against the Packers, however, but it remains to be seen how effective he'll be if he's […]

Sterling Shepard Practicing Wednesday

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he took part in contact during practice on Wednesday after missing the last three games with his second concussion of the season. According to The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton, Shepard will likely see independent doctors later in the week in […]

Marquise Brown, Jimmy Smith Return To Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) and cornerback Jimmy Smith (knee) both returned to practice on Wednesday. Brown is expected to return in Week 9 against the Patriots after missing the last two games. He'll be one to fade, though, coming off his injury and going up against star cornerback Stephon Gilmore in […]

DeSean Jackson, Darren Sproles Return To Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) and running back Darren Sproles (quadriceps) both returned to the practice field on Wednesday. Jackson has been out since getting injured in Week 2, but he has a chance to suit up in Week 9 against the Bears, although the Eagles could play it safe and hold him […]

James Conner Misses Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Conner may not practice at all this week after getting injured on Monday night, but he still has a chance to play in Week 9 against the Colts. Expect him to be listed as questionable on the final injury report. The Terminator will […]

Chris Herndon IV Remains Limited

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) will remain a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Herndon was limited all week before being inactive in Week 8, but he has a much better shot at making his season debut this Sunday against the Dolphins. In a great matchup, Herndon would immediately become a […]

O.J. Howard Not Practicing Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end O.J. Howard (hamstring) was doing individual work on a side field to test his hamstring during practice on Wednesday. Howard injured himself coming out of the bye week and didn't play in Week 8, and he'll be questionable, at best, to suit up in Week 9 against the Seahawks. The […]

No Practice For Delanie Walker

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice on Wednesday. The veteran tight end missed Week 8 and could be headed for multiple missed games moving forward. He's not a must-hold in shallow leagues at this point after a strong start to the year. Jonnu Smith has stepped up with Walker hurt […]

Chris Thompson Still Not Practicing

Washington Redskins running back Chris Thompson (toe) remains out of practice on Wednesday. Thompson is dealing with turf toe and hasn't played since Week 6. He seems unlikely to play in Week 9 against the Bills, and even if he's active, he'd be a desperation RB3/flex in deep PPR leagues in Washington's poor offense. If […]

Derwin James Not Close To Returning For Chargers Defense

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said that safety Derwin James (foot) will not resume practicing this week, and it may be "some time" before he's ready to return. James is on Injured Reserve and is unlikely to return this year at this point. Despite his absence and continued injuries to the defense, the […]

Christian McCaffrey Limited Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) was limited in practice on Wednesday, but head coach Ron Rivera is not concerned with McCaffrey's status for Week 9 against the Titans. The Panthers are just being cautious with their star running back. He will play this Sunday and is a must-start fantasy back as the top […]

Sam Darnold Practicing In Full

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold (thumb) will practice in full on Wednesday with a splint on his left thumb. Darnold was injured in Week 8 but will play this Sunday in a great matchup with the winless Dolphins. The injury is to his non-throwing hand, so it shouldn't have a big effect on his […]

A.J. Green Open To Contract Extension

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) put the brakes on contract-extension talks when he was injured, but he is talking with the team again. Green said that he want to remain in Cincinnati in the long term and doesn't want to receive the franchise tag. The 31-year-old wideout opened his career with five straight […]

Falcons Considered Trading Devonta Freeman

The Atlanta Falcons discussed running back Devonta Freeman with the Detroit Lions before the trade deadline this past week. The Lions inquired about Freeman and the sides talked at length, but ultimately Atlanta decided they didn't want to trade him. It's been a tough year for Freeman and the Falcons, and negative game script hasn't […]

Chase Edmonds Leaves Game Early Against Saints

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) left the game early in Week 8 against the Saints and needed assistance from the trainers to leave the field. He's questionable to return. After scoring three unexpected touchdowns in Week 7 when David Johnson (ankle, back) was active, Edmonds threw up a dud on Sunday against New […]

Miles Sanders Injured Sunday

Philadelphia Eagles running back Miles Sanders (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 against the Bills and is questionable to return. His fantasy owners won't be complaining too much, though, as Sanders had three carries for 74 yards and a touchdown before departing. He also added three receptions for 44 yards in the passing […]

Rex Burkhead Active In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is active for Week 8 against the Browns. It'll be Burkhead's first time active since Week 4. He'll be third on the running back depth chart behind Sony Michel and James White, so he'll need positive game script in the second half to have a chance at […]

Josh Jacobs, Tyrell Williams Active Against Texans

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) and wide receiver Tyrell Williams (foot) are officially active in Week 8 against the Texans. Jacobs and Williams were both expected to play. The impressive rookie running back may be at risk of reduced snaps, but fantasy owners must still consider him a strong RB2 as the […]

Marquise Goodwin Out, Raheem Mostert Active

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin (personal) is not active for Week 8 against the Panthers, while running back Raheem Mostert (knee) is active. Goodwin just hasn't been a factor at all in 2019 for San Fran's run-first offense, and he's even more unattractive now in fantasy with Emmanuel Sanders set to take over […]

Dede Westbrook Won't Return In Week 8

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) has been ruled out for the rest of the Week 8 game against the Jets after aggravating his injury in the first half. Westbrook played through a shoulder injury last week and was effective, but his multiple injuries became too much this Sunday. He'll go down as […]

Kenyan Drake Won't Play Monday, Likely To Be Traded

Miami Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake did not travel with the team for Monday night's game against the Steelers, which is a clear sign that he'll likely be traded before Tuesday's deadline. Miami is hoping for a mid-round pick in return. Like the rest of the Dolphins offense, Drake has been a disappointment, rushing 47 […]

Brandin Cooks Suffers Head Injury

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (head) is being evaluated for a concussion early in the Week 8 game against the Bengals in London. It's Cooks' fourth concussion in the last two years, so we'd be surprised if he returns for this game. Cooks dropped his only target on the helmet-to-helmet hit, so fantasy […]
