Optimism Surrounding Phillip Dorsett

Although New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) missed practice on Wednesday, there is mid-week optimism that he could be cleared in time to play in Week 12 against the Cowboys, according to a source. Mohamed Sanu (ankle) could now miss multiple games with a high ankle sprain, so the Patriots could be in […]

Dede Westbrook Not Expected To Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (illness) is not expected to practice on Thursday. Westbrook returned to the field last week and caught four of his six targets for just 32 yards in the loss to the Colts. D.J. Chark got all the love from a returning quarterback Nick Foles. Westbrook was Foles' favorite target […]

Rhett Ellison Unlikely To Play In Week 12

New York Giants tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) is unlikely to play in Week 12 against the Bears, according to head coach Pat Shurmur. Starting tight end Evan Engram (foot) has yet to practice this week and is headed down the same path, so you won't be able to use either tight end in fantasy […]

Evan Engram Unlikely To Play Sunday

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (foot) is out of practice again on Thursday, and it's safe to assume that he'll be inactive for Week 12 against the Bears. Keep Engram glued to your bench for another week. With Rhett Ellison (concussion) also not expected to play this weekend, it looks like Scott Simonson […]

Robert Woods Still Away From Team

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods, who was a surprise scratch last Sunday night due to personal reasons, remains away from the team as they prepare for Monday night's game against the Ravens, according to sources. At this point it's a reality that Woods might miss his second straight game with personal issues. He's […]

Yankees Release Jacoby Ellsbury, DFA Greg Bird

The New York Yankees released outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury and designated Greg Bird for assignment on Wednesday. Ellsbury, who hasn't played since 2017 due to various injuries, was let go with more than $26 million left on his $153 million, seven-year deal. The 36-year-old hit .264 with 39 homers, 198 RBI and 102 stolen bases in […]

Matthew Stafford Hopes To Play Again This Year

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) missed another practice on Wednesday, but he wants to play again this season when he's cleared by doctors. However, Detroit is currently 3-6-1 and has very little chance of making the playoffs, so it's not like the Lions will rush their starting quarterback back. Stafford is expected to miss […]

Phillip Lindsay Gets In Limited Practice

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (foot, wrist) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback in practice later this week, Lindsay will be good to go for Week 12 against the Bills. The second-year back has mostly been a disappointment in 2019 while sharing backfield work with Royce Freeman in an offense that […]

Davante Adams Limited On Wednesday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Adams will be fine to play on Sunday night against the 49ers. The 26-year-old has seen a healthy 21 targets in his two games since returning from turf toe, and he went for 118 yards before the Week 11 bye against […]

Tyreek Hill's Injury Is Minor

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill's (hamstring) injury was deemed minor after he underwent an MRI exam, according to a source. Hill is being considered day-to-day, and there's a real chance he won't miss any time with the team's bye in Week 12. He tried to go back into the Monday night game against […]

Jordan Wilkins Taken Off Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins (ankle) got in a full practice on Wednesday and was taken off the final injury report for Week 12 on Thursday night against the Texans. Wilkins' health is bad news for those that plucked Jonathan Williams off the waiver wire this week with plans to start him in Marlon […]

No Practice For James Conner

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) didn't practice on Wednesday. Conner made a return last week but aggravated his shoulder injury and is on the wrong side of questionable for Week 12 against the Bengals. With receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) also expected to sit out on Sunday, Jaylen Samuels could be funneled targets […]

Robert Woods Not With The Team Wednesday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Robert Woods was not with the team for practice on Wednesday, and head coach Sean McVay said there is no update on his personal matter. Woods was a surprise inactive last Sunday night because of personal issues, and it's unclear when he might return to the team. For that reason […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Not Expected To Play In Week 12

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster's (knee) injury isn't believed to be a long-term issue, but he's not expected to play in Week 12 against the Bengals, according to a source. On top of the knee issue, Smith-Schuster is also in the concussion protocol. Plan to be without him this weekend. And with Diontae Johnson […]

Sterling Shepard Expected To Be Cleared Later This Week

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion) is still in the concussion protocol, but head coach Pat Shurmur said the team expects Shepard to be cleared by the end of the week. Despite not being cleared yet, Shepard has practiced in full the last two days. It's a sign that he will return to […]

T.Y. Hilton, Eric Ebron Questionable For Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) and tight end Eric Ebron (ankle) are both listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Texans. Tight end Mo Alie-Cox (thumb) is also questionable. All three players were full participants in Wednesday's walkthrough and are expected to play. Hilton would be active for the first time […]

George Kittle, Matt Breida, Robbie Gould Miss Practice

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), running back Matt Breida (ankle) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) are all out of practice on Wednesday. Kittle is in danger of missing his third straight game. With the team playing the Packers on Sunday night, Kittle will be a very risky tight end option. You'll […]

Diontae Johnson Able To Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) remains in the league's protocol, but he was able to practice on Wednesday. Johnson must pass through the protocol later this week in order to have a shot at playing in Week 12 against the Bengals, but he's off to a good start. If he's cleared, Johnson would […]

Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel Missing From Practice

San Francisco 49ers wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (shoulder) were both missing from practice on Wednesday. With tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee) also in danger of missing his third straight game, quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo could be missing his best aerial targets on Sunday night against the Packers. If both Sanders and […]

A.J. Green, Auden Tate Sit Out Wednesday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receivers A.J. Green (ankle) and Auden Tate (concussion) both missed practice on Wednesday. Green has yet to play this year, and at this point it would be a surprise if he plays at all in 2019. The veteran wideout has been dropped in a lot of leagues. Tate suffered a serious head […]

Evan Engram, Rhett Ellison Not Practicing

New York Giants tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) are not practicing on Wednesday. It seems unlikely at this point that Engram will be ready to play on Sunday against the Bears. You should be making plans to be without Engram again in Week 12. If Ellison is also out, Scott Simonson […]

Amari Cooper Practices In Full

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Cooper continues to battle through injuries this year, but he's fully expected to play in Week 12's showdown with the Patriots on the road. He'll likely be shadowed by shutdown cornerback Stephon Gilmore in this one, but Cooper is a […]

Adrian Peterson Could Miss Week 12

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) did not practice on Wednesday and is in danger of missing Week 12 against the Lions. He was limping pretty good on Monday. Peterson got the start in Week 11, but Derrius Guice was the more effective back in his first game action since the season opener. Peterson […]

Tim Patrick Misses Practice Wednesday

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (shoulder) missed practice on Wednesday. Patrick had four catches on a healthy eight targets for 77 yards in his season debut in Week 11 against the Vikings. Assuming he can play in Week 12 against the Bills, Patrick should once again be the No. 2 behind Courtland Sutton. However, […]

Austin Hooper Won't Play In Week 12

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) won't play in Week 12 against the Buccaneers, but he could try to run a little in practice on Thursday. There's a chance that Hooper could be ready to return in Week 13 against the Saints. Keep Hooper stashed on your benches, especially if you're looking good to […]

Corey Davis, Delanie Walker Back At Practice

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis (hip) and tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) were both back at practice on Wednesday coming out of the bye week. It's a good sign for both, but neither player is guaranteed to return in Week 12 against the Jaguars. In Tennessee's run-first offense, it's also hard to trust any […]

Mitch Trubisky Practicing In Full Wednesday

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitch Trubisky (hip) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Trubisky said he's feeling good after suffering an injury in the Sunday night loss to the Rams. The signal-caller has taken a big step back in 2019, though, and he has very little upside in fantasy, even as a QB2. If […]

Tyler Lockett Expected To Play Sunday

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (leg) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Coming out of the bye week, head coach Pete Carroll expects Lockett to play in Week 12 against the Eagles. He was a bust in Week 10 after going off for 152 yards and two touchdowns in Week 9, but Lockett always […]

Julio Jones Held Out On Wednesday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (foot) was held out of practice on Wednesday. The Falcons are likely just giving the veteran some rest late in the season. Jones has battled nagging injuries to his lower body the last several seasons but usually plays through them and remains productive. The 30-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick Limited In Practice

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick (forearm, shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Fitzpatrick should be fine, but his injury is worth watching as we approach Week 12's games. Fitz has proven to be the better option under center than Josh Rosen for the rebuilding Dolphins, but he continues to have limited upside as a […]
