Adam Vinatieri Unlikely To Kick In Week 14

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (knee) is unlikely to play in Week 14 against the Buccaneers after the team claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin off waivers on Wednesday. Vinatieri will turn 47 years old this month and has missed 14 total kicks this year, so McLaughlin could take over for him this weekend and finish out […]

Nelson Agholor Not At Practice Thursday

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) did not take part in practice on Thursday. Agholor returned in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins and had an underwhelming three catches for 41 yards in the embarrassing defeat. He's not a lock to play on Monday night against the Giants, and even if he does, […]

Cardinals Enter Mix For Madison Bumgarner

The St. Louis Cardinals are a new potential bidder for the services of starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner, according to a source. The Twins, Reds, White Sox and Braves have also been linked to the veteran left-hander, and he could sign a deal before the winter meetings start next week in San Diego. The Cardinals rotation […]

Padres To Pursue Kwang-Hyun Kim

The San Diego Padres will pursue Korean starting pitcher Kwang-Hyun Kim this offseason after extensively scouting him. San Diego won the rights to Kim in 2014, but the two sides weren't able to reach an agreement and Kim returned to the Korean Baseball Organization. Teams have until Jan. 5 to sign Kim. The 31-year-old could […]

Yoshitomo Tsutsugo Drawing Plenty Of Interest

Japanese outfielder Yoshitomo Tsutsugo, whose posting window closes two weeks from Thursday, is drawing interest from a group that includes the White Sox, Blue Jays, Tigers and Twins, according to sources. Tsutsugo has averaged 35 home runs per season over the last four years with the Yokohama Bay Stars. Because of those lofty numbers, he'll […]

Mets Acquire Jake Marisnick From Astros

The New York Mets acquired outfielder Jake Marisnick from the Astros on Thursday in exchange for lefty relief pitcher Blake Taylor and outfielder Kenedy Corona. The 28-year-old Marisnick is a wizard with the glove and can play all three outfield positions at an above-average level. However, he hit just .233 with 10 home runs and […]

Brewers Trade For Omar Narvaez

The Milwaukee Brewers acquired catcher Omar Narvaez from the Mariners on Thursday in exchange for minor league pitcher Adam Hill and a competitive balance Round B draft pick. The left-handed hitting Narvaez, 27, had a career year for Seattle in 2019, hitting .278 with 22 home runs and 55 RBI in 132 games. He'll effectively […]

Adam Thielen Misses Practice Again Thursday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) is not practicing for the second straight day this week on Thursday. As of now, it's looking like Thielen can't be trusted to return in Week 14 against the Lions in a good matchup. Keep him locked to your bench unless something changes with his status on Friday. […]

Myles Jack Going On Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker Myles Jack (knee) is going on season-ending Injured Reserve on Thursday, according to a source. It's a big blow to Jacksonville's already weak run defense, especially with Chargers running backs Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler coming to town in Week 14. The 24-year-old Jack totaled 66 tackles, half a sack and one […]

Adam Vinatieri On Week 14 Injury Report

Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri (knee) is on the injury report for Week 14 against the Buccaneers after his knee flared up in warmups this past Sunday. Vinatieri missed all three of his attempts from 55, 52 and 46 yards on Sunday, with two of them getting blocked. With Indy claiming kicker Chase McLaughlin off […]

Gerald Everett Off To Bad Start This Week

Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett (knee) did not practice on Wednesday. Everett missed the game last week and is in danger of sitting again in Week 14 against the Seahawks on Sunday night. If that is the case, Tyler Higbee, who caught seven of eight targets for 107 yards and a touchdown in […]

Evan Engram, Golden Tate Practicing Thursday

New York Giants tight ends Evan Engram (foot) and Rhett Ellison (concussion) and wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) are all practicing on Thursday. All three players have a chance of returning on Monday night against the Eagles, but they'll be tough calls in fantasy if they carry questionable designations and are game-time calls. Engram has […]

Daniel Jones Not Practicing Thursday

New York Giants rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) is not practicing on Thursday and is doing leg work in a boot with a trainer on the side. Dealing with a mild high ankle sprain, Jones is a long shot to suit up on Monday night against the Eagles and could also miss Week 15. It […]

Leighton Vander Esch Out Again In Week 14

Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Thursday night against the Bears. Also out are safety Jeff Heath (shoulder) and defensive tackle Antwaun Woods (knee). Vander Esch is dealing with a pretty serious injury that could send him to Injured Reserve any day now. It's […]

Tony Pollard Questionable For Thursday

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back Tony Pollard (ankle) missed practice Tuesday and Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday night against the Bears. Pollard has just 58 carries for 264 yards and one touchdown on the season on the ground as the backup to Ezekiel Elliott, so he doesn't really have any standalone value to begin […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Unlikely To Play This Weekend

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) is unlikely to return in Week 14 against the Cardinals. Fantasy owners that own Smith-Schuster shouldn't be counting on him for their lineups in the first week of the fantasy playoffs. He might not even be a lock to make it back in time for Week 15. The […]

Darrel Williams Heads To Injured Reserve

The Kansas City Chiefs placed running back Darrel Williams (hamstring) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Thursday. In corresponding moves, defensive back Alex Brown was added to the 53-man roster and wide receiver Gehrig Dieter was signed to the practice squad. With Williams done for the year and Damien Williams (ribs) questionable to play in Week […]

Reds Have Interest In Madison Bumgarner

The Cincinnati Reds are among the teams interested in starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner. Current manager David Bell worked previously in the Giants front office. The Braves, Twins, Angels, Padres, Yankees and Phillies are other possibilities for the veteran southpaw, and he could sign before the winter meetings kick off next week. Injuries are now a […]

Zack Cozart Expected To Be Ready For Spring Training

Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler said that third baseman Zack Cozart (shoulder) is in a normal hitting progression and all indications are that he'll be active and without restrictions in spring training next year. The 34-year-old has played in just 96 games in his two seasons in Anaheim and has been a massive […]

No Timetable For Shohei Ohtani To Pitch In Games Next Year

Los Angeles Angels general manager Billy Eppler isn't giving a timetable for when starting pitcher/designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (elbow, knee) will pitch in games next season. The Angels will have more of an idea once the Japanese right-hander completes his throwing progression this month. Ohtani didn't pitch at all last season while recovering from Tommy […]

Matthew Stafford's Back Not A Long-Term Concern

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) said his back is healing "as it should" and that the injury won't be something that's an issue in 2020 or beyond. Stafford will miss his fifth straight game in Week 14 against the Vikings, though, and it seems unlikely he'll return in 2019. The Lions are 0-4 in […]

Hunter Renfrow Misses Practice Wednesday

Oakland Raiders rookie wide receiver Hunter Renfrow (rib) did not take part in practice on Wednesday. Renfrow missed the Week 13 loss to the Chiefs and doesn't appear to be on track to return this Sunday against the Titans. He has 36 receptions for 396 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games with Oakland this […]

Josh Jacobs Playing Through Fractured Shoulder

Oakland Raiders rookie running back Josh Jacobs (shoulder) revealed on his social media this week that he's been playing through a fractured right shoulder since getting hurt against the Packers in Week 7. It hasn't appeared to slow the impressive rookie down at all, and he has 1,061 yards on 201 carries in his first […]

Dede Westbrook Out For Personal Reasons Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Dede Westbrook (personal) missed practice on Wednesday. We're assuming that Westbrook will be able to play in Week 14 against the Chargers, but check back later this week to see if he returns to the team. If he doesn't, D.J. Chark and Chris Conley should both see more looks from Gardner […]

D.J. Chark, Chris Conley Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receivers D.J. Chark (back) and Chris Conley (ankle) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to suit up for Week 14 against the Chargers. Chark has underwhelmed in back-to-back games with seven catches for 85 scoreless yards, but the good news is he'll have rookie Gardner Minshew […]

Colts Claim Chase McLaughlin Off Waivers

The Indianapolis Colts claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday and waived tight end Matt Lengel in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old McLaughlin was released by the Bills during final cuts and has spent time with the Vikings, Chargers and 49ers since. In seven games with the Chargers and Niners in […]

Royce Freeman, Von Miller Limited Wednesday

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman (ribs) and outside linebacker Von Miller (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Freeman should be able to play, but he's the clear backup to Phillip Lindsay of late and won't have much flex appeal in the first week of the fantasy playoffs against Houston. Miller missed his […]

Dolphins Claim Mack Hollins Off Waivers

The Miami Dolphins claimed wide receiver Mack Hollins off waivers from the Eagles on Wednesday. The former fourth-round pick had just 10 catches for 125 yards in 12 games for the Eagles this year and failed to capitalize with Alshon Jeffery and DeSean Jackson missing games with injuries. Even on a Miami team with little […]

Trey Quinn, Paul Richardson Miss Practice

Washington Redskins wide receivers Trey Quinn (concussion) and Paul Richardson (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Both players are on the wrong side of questionable to play in Week 14 against the Packers. In a stagnant passing offense led by rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins, it's impossible to trust any wideout in Washington not named Terry […]

Jimmy Graham, Ryan Grant Miss Practice Wednesday

Green Bay Packers tight end Jimmy Graham (calf, wrist) and wide receiver Ryan Grant (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. Even if Graham suits up in Week 14 in a good matchup with Washington, he'll remain a touchdown-dependent TE2 after catching only four passes for 82 scoreless yards the last three games. Marcedes Lewis and […]
