Adam Thielen Remains Sidelined

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) remains out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. It's becoming increasingly likely that the Vikings will hold Thielen out through their Week 12 bye week. Plan to be without him again in Week 11 against the Broncos. Denver's strong secondary could pose issues […]

Padres Interested In Madison Bumgarner

The San Diego Padres have interest in starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner and will meet with his agent, Ed Cerulo, at the general manager meetings this week. The Padres have also been connected to starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg, while Bumgarner is attracting interest from a handful of teams, including the Phillies and Yankees. The veteran southpaw, […]

Odubel Herrera Will Have To Earn Roster Spot

Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera, who was suspended for 85 games last summer for a domestic-violence incident, must earn his spot on the roster next spring training, according to general manager Matt Klentak. Scott Kingery, Adam Haseley and Roman Quinn are all options to start in center field over Herrera, and the Phillies could also […]

Redskins To Rotate Adrian Peterson, Derrius Guice

Washington Redskins running back Derrius Guice (knee) will return in Week 11 against the Jets after missing eight weeks with a torn meniscus in his knee. Previous head coach Jay Gruden sat Adrian Peterson in Week 1 with Guice as the lead back, but interim head coach Bill Callahan has built the offense around Peterson […]

Le'Veon Bell To Be Limited In Practice

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (ribs) will be limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The Jets were just giving Bell a breather in practice on Wednesday, so you should expect him to be fine for Week 11 against the Redskins. The team's starting running back probably isn't 100 percent […]

Brandin Cooks Ruled Out For Week 11

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) was ruled out for Week 11 against the Bears on Monday, but he was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. While it's progress for Cooks to be limited in practice, there remains no timetable for his return following his latest concussion. Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods and […]

James Conner Good To Go For Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) practiced in full all week and was taken off the final injury report for Week 11 against the Browns on Thursday night. Conner will return after missing the last two weeks, and he should be in a workhorse role in a solid matchup against Cleveland's weak run defense. […]

David Johnson Not On Week 11 Injury Report

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (ankle, back) is not listed on the team's initial injury report for Week 11 against the 49ers. Johnson just didn't look like himself in the Week 10 loss to the Buccaneers, and he had just five carries on the day. He's certainly not 100 percent, and fantasy owners should […]

Will Fuller Could Return In Week 11

Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday and was a limited participant. There's no guarantee that Fuller will return for the first time since Week 7, but we'll track his practice status the rest of the week. If he returns against the Ravens this Sunday, Fuller will be a boom/bust […]

T.Y. Hilton Could Return To Practice Later This Week

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) didn't practice on Wednesday, but there's a chance he'll return to the field later in the week. Hilton is known as a fast healer, so he could return earlier than expected. As of now, you need to prepare as though Hilton won't play in Week 11 against the […]

Dede Westbrook Back At Practice

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (neck, shoulder) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and is on track to return in Week 11 against the Colts for the first time since Oct. 27 against the Jets. With quarterback Nick Foles (collarbone) also returning in Week 11, Westbrook has some real potential to return […]

Tyler Lockett Expected To Be Ready For Week 12

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (leg) flew back to Seattle on Wednesday after spending the last two days in a hospital, according to a source, and the expectation is that Lockett will be ready to face the Eagles in Week 12 after having the bye week to rest up. The 27-year-old had a dud […]

A.J. Green Still Not Practicing

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. Green was close to making his season debut in Week 10 before experiencing swelling in his ankle after practicing early in the week. He looks to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 11 against […]

John Ross Cleared To Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver John Ross (collarbone) was cleared to practice on Wednesday and was designated to return from Injured Reserve. He's been out since Oct. 2 after breaking his clavicle in Week 4 against the Steelers. Ross will be eligible to return in Week 14 if he doesn't suffer any setbacks in practice. The […]

George Kittle, Emmanuel Sanders, Robbie Gould Out Wednesday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) all missed practice on Wednesday. Kittle and Gould sat out on Monday night. All three could be game-time decisions in Week 11 against the Cardinals, making it tough on fantasy owners with the late afternoon start. […]

Chase Edmonds Still Not Practicing

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hamstring) missed practice again on Wednesday and looks likely to miss another game in Week 11 against the 49ers. Edmonds had RB2 upside while filling in for the injured David Johnson for several weeks, but Edmonds is now injured himself and the Cardinals have Kenyan Drake as depth behind […]

Rangers Making Push For Josh Donaldson

The Texas Rangers are making an aggressive push for third baseman Josh Donaldson. The Los Angeles Times' Jorge Castillo also reported that the Dodgers, Nationals, Phillies and Braves are pursuing the 2015 American League MVP and three-time All-Star. Donaldson will turn 34 in December and is coming off a rebound season with Atlanta in which […]

Miguel Andujar May Switch Positions In 2020

New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar, who played in just 12 games in 2019 due to a shoulder injury, could be moved around the field in 2020. He could be an option at an infield corner spot, at designated hitter or even in the outfield. Andujar will turn 25 in March, had an .855 […]

Yadier Molina Seeking Contract Extension?

Sources have intimated that St. Louis Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina could be seeking an extension to his contract and would be willing to take a pay cut from his current $20 million per season. It was believed that the final year of Molina's current contract in 2020 would be his final in the majors, but […]

Marcell Ozuna To Reject Qualifying Offer

St. Louis Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna plans to reject the team's one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer to become a free agent, but his representatives met with the Cardinals on Tuesday to explore a multi-year contract. Ozuna has had early interest from at least half a dozen teams, including the Reds, according to two sources. The […]

Marlins Like Jose Abreu

The Miami Marlins are interested in first baseman Jose Abreu, although losing a draft pick in order to acquire him could dissuade them from pursuing him. The expectation is that Abreu will re-sign with the White Sox, where he hit .284/.330/.503 with 33 home runs, 85 runs and 123 RBI in 2019. Abreu has had […]

Blue Jays Discussing Mike Moustakas

The Toronto Blue Jays have discussed adding third baseman Mike Moustakas this offseason, as well as Japanese hitters Yoshitomo Tsutsugo and Shogo Akiyama. Toronto is looking to add a bat at second base, first base and center field. Moustakas, a left-handed hitter, can play first, second or third base and would offer the most offensive […]

Blue Jays Have Legitimate Interest In Jake Odorizzi

The Toronto Blue Jays met with the representatives for starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi on Tuesday, and they will have legitimate interest in the right-hander if he rejects the $17.8 million qualifying offer from the Twins. Odorizzi was very solid for fantasy owners in 2019, going 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 178 strikeouts […]

Padres To Work On Extension For Fernando Tatis Jr.

The San Diego Padres intend to open discussions with shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. on a long-term contract extension this offseason. The idea would be to buy out Tatis' arbitration years, which would mean a deal of at least six years and likely longer. The superstar shortstop won't turn 21 until Jan. 2, but he finished […]

Joe Staley Has Surgery, Likely To Miss A Few Games

San Francisco 49ers left tackle Joe Staley (finger) underwent surgery on his fractured finger and will likely miss a few games, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Staley had just returned on Monday night from a fractured leg, so it's a tough break for both the veteran and San Francisco's offensive line. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo […]

Gerald Everett Limited, Tyler Higbee Misses Practice

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (wrist) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, while Tyler Higbee (knee) sat out. Everett has had a breakout season in 2019 with 34 catches (56 targets) for 365 yards and two touchdowns in nine games. He had a season-high eight grabs on 12 targets for […]

Ronald Jones II Improving As Pass-Catcher

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Bruce Arians said that running back Ronald Jones II can do more in the passing game as his route tree grows in his second season. Jones has taken a big step forward after a terrible rookie season, and it looks like the Bucs are ready to put more on his […]

Paul Richardson Misses Practice Wednesday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's especially concerning coming out of the team's bye week, but Richardson still has a chance to play in Week 11 against the Jets if he can return to practice later this week. Even in a great matchup if Richardson suits up, he […]

Robby Anderson, Demaryius Thomas Limited Wednesday

New York Jets wide receivers Robby Anderson (back, shoulder) and Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback this week, both players should be able to play in Week 11 in a nice matchup against the Redskins. Anderson has been a bust this year with quarterback Sam Darnold taking […]

Le'Veon Bell Doesn't Practice Wednesday

New York Jets running back Le'Veon Bell (knee, illness, ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. Bell should be able to play in Week 11 against the Redskins, but he's clearly not 100 percent. He found the end zone last Sunday, but his overall line still had to be considered a disappointment considering he was going […]
