James Conner Doesn't Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (shoulder) did not practice on Wednesday. Conner has been out since the last meeting with Cleveland on Nov. 14, and so far this week he doesn't look like a candidate to face the Browns the second time around this Sunday. Unless he returns to practice later this week, you'll […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Clears Protocol, Misses Practice Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion, knee) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol by an independent neurologist, but he remains on the injury report with a knee injury and didn't practice on Wednesday. The knee injury is the bigger concern now, and he was spotted with a brace on his leg. Until […]

Adam Thielen Has Scare With Hamstring Injury

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (hamstring) had a slight scare with his injury during practice on Monday and was held out on Wednesday as a result. Thielen had the Week 12 bye to heal up, but it looks like he still might be in danger of sitting out in Week 13 against the Seahawks. […]

Paul Richardson Not Practicing Wednesday

Washington Redskins wide receiver Paul Richardson (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Richardson has only 28 receptions for 245 yards and two touchdowns on the season and has hauled in eight passes in the last three games. Even if he's active, you shouldn't be trusting him in your starting lineups, even in deeper setups. Outside […]

Jeff Driskel, T.J. Hockenson Questionable Against Bears

Detroit Lions quarterback Jeff Driskel (hamstring) and rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (shoulder) are both questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bears. Driskel was limited in practice all week, while Hockenson got in a full practice on Wednesday. Barring any late setbacks, we'd expect both players to suit up on Thanksgiving. In a tough matchup […]

Matthew Stafford Won't Play On Turkey Day

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (back, hip) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 against the Bears on Thursday. It will be his fourth straight missed game, but Stafford does want to return to play in 2019 when he's cleared by doctors. With the fantasy playoffs starting next week in […]

Taylor Gabriel, Adam Shaheen, Ben Braunecker Ruled Out

Chicago Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and tight ends Adam Shaheen (foot) and Ben Braunecker (concussion) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Thursday against the Lions. With Gabriel sidelined, Allen Robinson, Anthony Miller and Javon Wims should see most of the work in three-receiver sets. Although the matchup is a […]

T.Y. Hilton Will Be Limited Wednesday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf), who fought some tightness in his calf last Thursday against the Texans, will be limited in practice on Wednesday. It will be Hilton's first real practice in roughly a month. Hilton disappointed owners last week in his return, going for three catches and just 18 yards in the […]

Austin Hooper To Miss Third Straight Game

Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper (knee) will miss his third straight game in Week 13 against the Saints on Thursday night. Head coach Dan Quinn also said that tight end Luke Stocker (back) will be questionable. Hooper has a good chance of making his return in Week 14, the first week of the fantasy […]

Devonta Freeman To Return Against Saints

Atlanta Falcons running back Devonta Freeman (foot) is set to return on Thursday against the Saints after missing the last two games with a foot injury, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Freeman had 10 carries for only 38 yards in Week 10 in the first meeting with the Saints. New Orleans has been tough […]

Julio Jones Questionable For Thanksgiving Game

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (shoulder) is questionable to face the Saints on Thursday. Jones missed practice Monday and Tuesday before getting in a limited session in Wednesday's walkthrough. He's a game-time decision. He leads the team with 950 receiving yards, so losing him for a tough divisional game would be a big blow […]

Drew Lock, Brandon Allen To Split Reps This Week

Denver Broncos president John Elway said that quarterbacks Drew Lock (thumb) and Brandon Allen will split the repetitions in practice this week. Lock remains on Injured Reserve, but he can be activated at any time. The Broncos will decide a starter for Week 13 against the Chargers by Friday, and it could very well be […]

Titans Put Delanie Walker On Injured Reserve

The Tennessee Titans placed tight end Delanie Walker (ankle) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed kicker Ryan Santoso to the active roster in a corresponding move. The veteran Walker ended up playing only seven games this year due to issues with his surgically repaired ankle. He finished with 21 catches for 215 yards […]

Damien Williams Won't Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs running back Damien Williams (ribs) will not practice on Wednesday. Williams suffered his injury in Week 11, but it appears the week off in Week 12 didn't help him all that much. He could still play this Sunday against the Raiders if he returns to practice later this week, but as of […]

Tyreek Hill To Practice Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (hamstring) will return to practice on Wednesday. Hill was injured early in the Week 11 win over the Chargers, but he had the Week 12 bye to heal up and it looks like he'll return to face the Raiders in Week 13. A home run threat every time […]

Jakeem Grant Put On Injured Reserve

The Miami Dolphins placed wide receiver/kick returner Jakeem Grant (ankle) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday, ending his season. Grant was carted to the locker room after injuring his ankle in the Week 12 loss to the Browns. Head coach Brian Flores said that wide receiver Isaiah Ford will be brought up from the practice […]

Golden Tate, Evan Engram Not Practicing

New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate (concussion) and tight end Evan Engram (foot) are not practicing on Wednesday. Tight end Rhett Ellison (concussion) was also absent from practice. All three players should be considered on the wrong side of questionable right now for Week 13 against the Packers. Tate had only three catches last […]

J.J. Arcega-Whiteside To See Expanded Role

Philadelphia Eagles rookie wide receiver J.J. Arcega-Whiteside will see an expanded role in the offense with Jordan Matthews now gone, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Arcega-Whiteside impressed the coaching staff in the preseason and was a popular rookie sleeper heading into the regular season, but it hasn't materialized in his rookie season. The 22-year-old […]

Jordan Howard Not Cleared For Contact

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jordan Howard (shoulder) has not been cleared for contact as of Wednesday. Howard has missed the last two games with this injury, and he's off to a bad start so far as we head into Week 13. He'd be a very enticing RB2/3 if he's able to return against a bad […]

Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor To Practice In Full

Philadelphia Eagles wide receivers Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) are both expected to practice in full on Wednesday. Jeffery has missed the last two games, while Agholor sat out the Week 12 loss to the Seahawks. With both players expected to return, it should be a big boost for quarterback Carson Wentz in […]

Week 12 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Heading into Week 12, let's take a look at a list of the players used the most around the league at their positions. At running back, Dalvin Cook leads the league with 214 rushing attempts, followed by Nick Chubb (201), Chris Carson (200), Christian McCaffrey (199) and Ezekiel Elliott (194). Austin Ekeler and McCaffrey are […]

Khalil Lee Suffers Broken Hand In Winter League

Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Khalil Lee (hand) will be shut down from winter ball after suffering a broken bone in his right hand on Wednesday when he was hit by a pitch. Lee was hitting .188 (3-for-16) in the Puerto Rican Winter League before his injury. The speedy outfielder slashed .264/.363/.372 with eight home […]

White Sox Looking At Zack Wheeler

The Chicago White Sox are in the market for a starting pitcher and have set their sights on starting pitcher Zack Wheeler. The ChiSox just made a big splash on Thursday by signing the best catcher on the market in Yasmani Grandal for four years, so now they'll look to bolster their rotation with one […]

Leighton Vander Esch Not Expected To Play Sunday

Concerns have surfaced around Dallas Cowboys linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck), who has already missed one game this year with a neck injury, and he's not expected to play in Week 12 against the Patriots, according to sources. Vander Esch underwent an MRI exam on Thursday after a flare-up of the injury. It would be […]

Patriots Won't Re-Sign Antonio Brown

The New England Patriots won't be re-signing wide receiver Antonio Brown, according to a source. There were rumors circling that the Pats were looking at Brown again with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) potentially missing multiple games with a high ankle sprain. That's not the case, though, and Brown is highly unlikely to be signed with the […]

George Kittle, Emmanuel Sanders, Deebo Samuel Limited

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (ankle, knee) and wide receivers Emmanuel Sanders (ribs) and Deebo Samuel (shoulder) were all limited in practice on Thursday. It's NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco's opinion that all three will play on Sunday night against the Packers. That'll especially ring true if all three get in at […]

Texans Activate Jordan Thomas From Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans activated tight end Jordan Thomas (ribs) from the Injured Reserve on Thursday and waived defensive end Joel Heath and wide receiver Steven Mitchell in corresponding moves. As a sixth-round rookie last year, Thomas had 20 receptions for 215 yards and four touchdowns. Thomas has some long-term intrigue, but he'll return to a […]

Jonathan Williams Expected To Start Thursday

The Indianapolis Colts are expected to treat running back Jonathan Williams as the starter on Thursday night against the Texans. It doesn't mean that Williams will see the most touches in a backfield that will also feature Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines in Marlon Mack's (hand) absence, but it's good news for those relying on […]

Nelson Agholor Says He's Day-To-Day

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor (knee) said he is day-to-day, and he is hoping to get back on the practice field on Friday. Agholor is on the wrong side of questionable as things stand now, but he'd be in play to suit up if he was able to practice on Friday. Alshon Jeffery (ankle) […]

Phillip Dorsett Returns To Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session. While Dorsett still needs final clearance from the concussion protocol, there's optimism that he'll get it and be able to play in Week 12 against the Cowboys. Even with Mohamed Sanu (ankle) out possibly multiple games, […]
