Trey Burton, Adam Shaheen Ruled Out

Chicago Bears tight ends Trey Burton (calf) and Adam Shaheen (foot) both missed practice on Friday and have been ruled out for Week 11 on Sunday night against the Rams. Burton really has done nothing of note in the passing game this year, so it's not a huge blow for the Bears offense. It means […]

David Montgomery Questionable For Week 11

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 11 against the Rams on Sunday night. The limited practice suggests Montgomery should be able to play, but he could be a true game-time decision on Sunday night. Already facing a tough matchup on the […]

Jacoby Brissett To Start Against Jaguars

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett (knee) is a full-go for Week 11 against the Jaguars and will be the starter under center. It's good news for the Colts after backup Brian Hoyer was a disaster in the embarrassing Week 10 loss to the Dolphins with Brissett out. Brissett's return is good news for anyone feeling […]

T.Y. Hilton, Parris Campbell Ruled Out

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich has ruled out wide receivers T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) for Week 11 against the Jaguars. Owners will have to wait until at least Week 12 to get Hilton back in the fold with the fantasy playoffs looming. Zach Pascal has been Indy's top receiving threat with […]

Adrian Phillips Set To Return From Injured Reserve

Los Angeles Chargers safety Adrian Phillips (forearm) has been designated as a player that will return from Injured Reserve, and he could play as soon as Monday night against the Chiefs in Week 11. He was placed on IR on Sept. 17 after breaking his forearm in the loss to the Lions. Second-year safety Derwin […]

Falcons Defense Getting Desmond Trufant Back

Atlanta Falcons cornerback Desmond Trufant (toe) will play in Week 11 against the Panthers after missing the last four games with turf toe. It's good news for a Falcons Defense that has pretty much been torched through the air for most of the year outside of last week's surprising win over the Saints. Trufant's return […]

Austin Hooper, Devonta Freeman Officially Ruled Out

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) and running back Devonta Freeman (foot) have both been officially ruled out for Week 11 against the Panthers. Hooper is the team's leading receiver with 56 catches, while Freeman is the leading rusher with 371 yards, so it'll put a big strain on the offense this Sunday. Hooper […]

Week 11 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Count 'em down. There are only three weeks left before the playoffs begin in most fantasy leagues. If you survived the dreaded Week 10 with a season-high six teams on bye, it's a true testament to your squad's depth and your savvy on the waiver wire. Pat yourself on the back. Four more teams have […]

Antonio Callaway Loses Appeal

Former Cleveland Browns wide receiver Antonio Callaway learned on Friday morning that he lost his appeal of a 10-game suspension for another violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. Callaway is currently on waivers after the Browns announced they were moving on on Thursday. The talented wideout fell in the 2018 draft because of off-field issues, […]

A.J. Green Will Not Play Against Raiders

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver A.J. Green's (ankle) swelling in his left ankle went down, but it's still not good enough for him to make his season debut in Week 11 against the Raiders. Green could wind up not playing at all this season if he doesn't improve anytime soon. […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play In Week 11

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia has ruled quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) out for Week 11 against the Cowboys. Stafford is dealing with fractures in his back and will miss his second straight game. He won't be a lock to return in Week 12 either. Jeff Driskel will make his second straight start. He didn't […]

Eric Fisher On Track To Return Monday Night

Kansas City Chiefs left tackle Eric Fisher (groin) put in a full practice on Thursday, which was his first full practice since undergoing surgery on a sports hernia in mid-September. He's on track to return for Monday night's divisional showdown against the Chargers in Mexico City. The team's starting left tackle has been out since […]

Diontae Johnson Suffers Head Injury Thursday Night

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson (concussion) suffered a concussion from a helmet-to-helmet hit from Browns safety Damarious Randall on Thursday night and was carted off to the locker room. Randall was ejected from the game as a result. Johnson had blood coming out of his ear and did not look good at all, so […]

Raheem Mostert, Dante Pettis Limited Thursday

San Francisco 49ers running back Raheem Mostert (knee) and wide receiver Dante Pettis (back) were both limited in practice on Thursday. Mostert has been limited all week but should play and serve as Tevin Coleman's backup in Week 11 against the Cardinals with Matt Breida expected to miss one to two weeks. Mostert will have […]

David Montgomery, Trey Burton Miss Practice Thursday

Chicago Bears rookie running back David Montgomery (ankle) and tight ends Trey Burton (calf) and Adam Shaheen (foot) missed practice on Thursday. Montgomery rolled his ankle in practice on Wednesday and could wind up as questionable for Sunday night against the Rams. That will obviously pose a big headache for fantasy owners, but Montgomery is […]

Jake Odorizzi Staying With Twins

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Jake Odorizzi accepted the team's one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer on Thursday, according to sources. Barring a contract extension, the right-hander will be a free agent after the 2020 season. Odorizzi had one of his best seasons in the bigs last year, going 15-7 with a 3.51 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and […]

Jose Abreu Accepts Qualifying Offer

Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu accepted the one-year, $17.8 million qualifying offer on Thursday, according to sources. Barring an extension, Abreu will be a free agent after the 2020 season. The 32-year-old Cuban quietly led baseball with 123 RBI in 2019 and also slugged 33 home runs, hit .284 and scored 85 runs […]

Gerald Everett, Tyler Higbee Expected To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said he expects tight ends Gerald Everett (wrist) and Tyler Higbee (knee) to play on Sunday night against the Bears in Week 11. Everett has had a breakout season in 2019 and has become the preferred pass-catching tight end over Higbee. With Brandin Cooks (concussion) out at least […]

Alex Erickson Gets In Limited Practice

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Alex Erickson (back) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. Even with A.J. Green (ankle) unlikely to return this weekend, Erickson isn't a recommended fantasy starter in any league as the No. 3 receiver on a winless Bengals team with rookie quarterback Ryan Finley under […]

A.J. Green Not Practicing Again Thursday

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle) remains out of practice on Thursday. Green suffered a setback due to swelling in his ankle last week and remains without a timetable to return. He was getting close to making his season debut, but he now appears unlikely to play in Week 11 against the Raiders. At […]

Gerrit Cole Not Short On Suitors

The Yankees, Angels, Rangers and Phillies are among the teams that have already shown interest in starting pitcher Gerrit Cole. The Nationals could be interested in him if they can't re-sign Stephen Strasburg, while the Astros haven't given up either. Cole is certain to set a record for a starter in free agency after leading […]

Amari Cooper Returns To Limited Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (ankle, knee) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after being held out on Wednesday. He should do more in practice on Friday and remains on track to play in Week 11 against the Lions. Cooper has battled through several injuries this year but has remained one of the […]

Ryan Switzer Placed On Injured Reserve

The Pittsburgh Steelers placed wide receiver Ryan Switzer (back) and fullback Roosevelt Nix (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday. Switzer injured his back in the Week 10 win over the Rams. In corresponding moves, receiver Tevin Jones and linebacker Jayrone Elliott were added to the active roster. Switzer was more of a special teams guy […]

Adrian Peterson Fine For Week 11

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that running back Adrian Peterson was rested in practice on Thursday, and he'll be fine for Week 11 against the Jets. The 34-year-old has been the bell-cow back since Callahan took over, and he's seen at least 18 carries in three of the last four games, so […]

Redskins Looking To Get Terry McLaurin Going

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan said that moving rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin around more could help get him out of his slump. The impressive rookie is versatile and capable of moving to different spots in the formation. The 24-year-old hasn't found the end zone since Oct. 13 against the Dolphins (twice that […]

George Kittle, Emmanuel Sanders, Robbie Gould Out Thursday

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee), wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) all missed practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. It's looking like Kittle and Gould will miss their second straight game, while Sanders is doubtful after injuring his ribs on Monday night. Even […]

Tim Patrick Expected To Be Activated This Week

Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick (hand) is expected to be activated from the Injured Reserve this week to play in Week 11 against the Vikings. Cornerback Bryce Callahan (foot) is expected to go on IR in a corresponding move. Patrick came on strong at the end of last year after the Broncos traded Demaryius […]

Adam Thielen Has A Chance To Play In Week 11

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer said that wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) has a chance to play in Week 11 against the Broncos despite the fact that he hasn't practiced yet this week. We'll believe it if Thielen returns to practice on Friday, but even then he'll likely be a long shot, especially with […]

Yankees Eyeing Starting Pitching

The New York Yankees have "checked in" with starting pitchers Gerrit Cole, Stephen Strasburg and Zack Wheeler so far this offseason, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Madison Bumgarner is another starter the Yanks have kicked the tires on. Cole and Strasburg are the top two free-agent hurlers on the market this season. Cole led […]

Blue Jays Have Met With Yasmani Grandal

The Toronto Blue Jays are among the teams that have met with catcher Yasmani Grandal. Grandal bet successfully on himself in 2019 by signing a one-year deal in Milwaukee, and he's now the most coveted free-agent catcher on the market after slugging 28 home runs for the Brew Crew. His left-handed bat would fit really […]
