Marlins Claim Jesus Aguilar Off Waivers

The Miami Marlins claimed first baseman Jesus Aguilar off waivers from the Rays on Monday, according to sources. With a clear path to regular at-bats at first base in Miami, Aguilar could be in line for a bounce-back 2020 season after he struggled to a .236/.325/.389 line in Tampa with only four home runs and […]

Mariners Non-Tender Domingo Santana, Tim Beckham

The Seattle Mariners non-tendered outfielder Domingo Santana and shortstop Tim Beckham on Monday, making them both free agents. Santana had a nice .850 OPS but was projected to make $4.4 million in arbitration, and he slashed a putrid .128/.234/.234 with a 44 percent strikeout rate in the second half. He's also a liability on defense, […]

Patriots Waive Kai Forbath

The New England Patriots waived kicker Kai Forbath on Monday, according to sources. In a corresponding move, the Pats claimed defensive tackle Albert Huggins off waivers from the Eagles. Forbath was filling in for Nick Folk, who had an appendectomy, in Week 13 and missed one of two extra-point tries in the Sunday night loss […]

Astros Non-Tendering Aaron Sanchez

The Houston Astros are non-tendering starting pitcher Aaron Sanchez (shoulder), according to a source. It's not a surprise, however, given that Sanchez is expected to miss the beginning of the 2020 regular season after having shoulder surgery in September. The right-hander continues to be hurt by injuries and up-and-down performances in the big leagues. Sanchez […]

Randall Cobb Misses Practice Monday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb (illness) didn't practice on Monday. Cobb will likely still be able to suit up for Thursday night's game against the Bears. Cobb came back down to Earth a bit on Thanksgiving with three catches for 53 yards, but he was on a nice run in his previous three games, […]

Amari Cooper Practices In Full Monday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper (knee) was a full participant in practice on Monday. "It’s healed better than I thought it would. I’m good to go," Cooper said. Cooper has fought through a handful of injuries this year but hasn't missed any games and remains productive for fantasy owners. Against a Bears Defense that […]

Linval Joseph Set To Return Monday Night

Minnesota Vikings defensive tackle Linval Joseph (knee) will be available to play on Monday night against the Seahawks just three weeks removed from surgery on the meniscus in his right knee. Joseph has 31 total tackles, three sacks and a forced fumble in his nine games with Minnesota this year. His presence in the trenches […]

Colts Hopeful T.Y. Hilton Will Return This Year

Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich is hopeful that wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) will return this season. Hilton has been fighting injuries for most of the season. He has played in just seven games for the Colts and has accumulated 35 receptions for 378 yards and five scores when on the field. He's been […]

Richard Sherman Day-To-Day With Knee Sprain

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that cornerback Richard Sherman (knee) is day-to-day with a knee sprain. It sounds like Sherman might not have to miss any game time, but his practice status this week is worth watching. For an excellent overall 49ers Defense this year, Sherman's veteran savvy has been important in […]

Dante Pettis Likely To Miss Another Game

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis (knee) is likely to miss at least another game. Pettis sat out in Week 13 against the Ravens. Before that, he went three straight games without a catch, so Pettis obviously is nowhere near the fantasy radar and won't be once he returns. Rookie Deebo Samuel and Emmanuel […]

Matt Breida, Dee Ford Expected To Return In Week 14

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is optimistic that running back Matt Breida (ankle), defensive end Dee Ford (hamstring) and left tackle Joe Staley (finger) will all return in Week 14 against the Saints. Breida was expected to return last Sunday, but the Niners played it cautious and held him out. Raheem Mostert outshined […]

Jose Peraza Non-Tendered By Reds

Cincinnati Reds infielder Jose Peraza was non-tendered by the Reds on Monday, according to sources. Peraza finds himself a free agent after a dismal year for the Reds. He hit .239/.285/.346 with six homers, 33 RBI and seven steals in 141 games after slashing .288/.326/.416 with 14 long balls, 58 RBI and 23 stolen bases […]

White Sox, James McCann Avoid Arbitration

The Chicago White Sox avoided arbitration with catcher James McCann on Monday by agreeing to a one-year, $5.4 million deal, according to sources. McCann was excellent for the Pale Hose last season, hitting .273/.328/.460 with 18 home runs, 62 runs scored and 60 RBI in 439 at-bats as the primary backstop. He earned his first […]

Padres Acquire Jurickson Profar From A's

The San Diego Padres acquired infielder Jurickson Profar from the Oakland Athletics on Monday in exchange for catcher Austin Allen and a player to be named, according to sources. Profar was likely to be non-tendered on Monday, so this deal makes sense. He hit a weak .218 in his lone season with Oakland but had […]

Mike Moustakas Agrees With Reds

The Cincinnati Reds and third baseman/second baseman Mike Moustakas agreed to a four-year, $64 million deal on Monday, according to league sources. With Eugenio Suarez entrenched at the hot corner in Cincinnati, Moose will presumably be the team's starting second baseman in 2020 with Jose Peraza being non-tendered. Moustakas hit .254/.329/.516 with 35 home runs […]

Derek Wolfe Placed On Injured Reserve

Denver Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe (elbow) is being placed on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday after dislocating his elbow in the Week 13 win over the Chargers, according to a source. Wolfe finished with a career-high seven sacks in the final year of his contract with Denver, and he's unlikely to be back with […]

Jamal Adams Day-To-Day With Ankle Sprain

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (ankle) is being listed as day-to-day with an ankle sprain, according to head coach Adam Gase. Adams will undergo more tests, but he's looking highly questionable to play in Week 14 against the Dolphins. In a suspect New York secondary, Adams has been the lone bright spot, so his […]

John Ross Expected To Be Active In Week 14

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that he expects wide receiver John Ross (collarbone) to be active for Week 14 against the Browns. It will be the first game that he's eligible to return for after being on Injured Reserve. Ross had a nice 16 receptions for 328 yards and three touchdowns in four […]

T.J. Hockenson Going On Injured Reserve

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (ankle) is going on Injured Reserve, which will end his rookie season. With just four games to play in a lost season, it makes sense for Detroit to shut Hockenson down. The 22-year-old posted his best numbers in the season opener, going for […]

Lions Not Shutting Matthew Stafford Down

Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia said that the team is "going to keep that door open" for quarterback Matthew Stafford (back) to return this year "out of respect for Matthew and his competitiveness." With just four games remaining and the Lions out of playoff contention, though, it seems like a long shot that we'll […]

Gardner Minshew Named Starter For Week 14

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew will start in Week 14 against the Chargers over Nick Foles, according to head coach Doug Marrone. Foles was benched in the Week 13 loss to the Bucs after throwing an interception and fumbling twice. Minshew is back in the fold after becoming an NFL phenomenon when Foles went […]

Julio Jones Trending Upward For Week 14

Atlanta Falcons head coach Dan Quinn said that wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) is trending upward in terms of his availability for Week 14 against the Panthers. Jones would've had a much better chance of playing last week had the game been on Sunday instead of on Thursday. The 30-year-old veteran left a lot of […]

Darrel Williams May Not Play In Week 14

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that there's a good chance running back Darrel Williams (hamstring) doesn't play in Week 14 against the Patriots. It's bad timing, since Williams had a receiving touchdown in the win over the Raiders and Damien Williams (ribs) isn't a lock to return against the Patriots. If both […]

Taylor Gabriel, Ben Braunecker In Concussion Protocol

Chicago Bears head coach Matt Nagy said that wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Ben Braunecker remain in the concussion protocol. That means they're both highly questionable to play in Week 14 against the Cowboys this Thursday night. Anthony Miller went off for his best game of the season on Thanksgiving with Gabriel out […]

Cowboys Sticking With Brett Maher

Dallas Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett said that the team will stick with kicker Brett Maher after working out three kickers on Sunday. "Those three guys did a nice job for us, but Brett is going to be our kicker going forward," Garrett said. Maher will continue to kick for Dallas, but he'll be on […]

Daniel Jones Tweaks Ankle In Week 13

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur said that rookie quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle) "got his ankle twisted" in the Week 13 loss to the Packers, but he said he's "fine" on Monday. He should be alright, but we'll have to watch his practice status leading up to next Monday's divisional bout with the Eagles. […]

Derek Wolfe Suffers Dislocated Elbow

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Derek Wolfe (elbow) set a new career high in sacks with seven in the Week 13 victory over the Chargers, but he also suffered a dislocated left elbow in the fourth quarter and didn't return. He had a brace on his arm after the game, and trainers were able to pop […]

Jamal Adams In Walking Boot

New York Jets safety Jamal Adams (foot) left the stadium in a walking boot on his left foot after suffering an injury in the Week 13 loss to the Bengals. Adams had just one assisted tackle in the game before leaving. He will go for more tests on Monday to determine the severity, but it […]

Chester Rogers Suffers Fractured Knee

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Chester Rogers (knee) suffered a likely season-ending fractured knee in the Week 13 loss to the Titans, although he will undergo further testing on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, according to a source. Rogers will finish the 2019 season with a career-low 16 receptions (28 targets) for 179 […]

Baker Mayfield Expected To Play In Week 14

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (hand) doesn't think the right hand injury he suffered in Week 13's loss to the Steelers will keep him from suiting up in Week 14 against the Bengals. “I fully expect to be able to play,” Mayfield said during his postgame news conference. Head coach Freddie Kitchens said the injury […]
