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 […]

Phillies Looking At Mike Moustakas

The Philadelphia Phillies have third baseman Mike Moustakas on their radar, according to multiple sources. The Phillies have a good history with Scott Boras, the agent for Moustakas, and they could look to add a third baseman this winter to allow top prospect Alec Bohm more development in the minors. Moose has done well the […]

Anthony Rendon On Dodgers Radar

The Los Angeles Dodgers have third baseman Anthony Rendon on their radar this offseason. Rendon will be one of the most coveted free agents this winter behind starting pitcher Gerrit Cole. Justin Turner has offered to change positions in order for the Dodgers to bring in a free-agent third baseman like Rendon or Josh Donaldson. […]

Dawson Knox Dealing With Sore Knee

Buffalo Bills rookie tight end Dawson Knox (knee) was held out of practice on Thursday due to a sore knee, but head coach Sean McDermott expects Knox to return to practice on Friday and be fine for Week 11 against the Dolphins. Knox has shown some potential in his first year in the NFL and […]

No T.Y. Hilton At Practice Thursday

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton (calf) wasn't spotted at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Hilton has a chance to return in Week 11 against the Jaguars, but he'll likely need to get in at least a limited practice on Friday since he hasn't played since getting injured in Week […]

Jack Doyle Back At Practice

Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle (shoulder) is back at practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Doyle should be able to play this weekend in Week 11 against the Jaguars. He has scored in back-to-back weeks but has only 66 yards receiving in that timeframe and has his upside limited while sharing snaps […]

Adrian Peterson Held Out Of Practice Thursday

Washington Redskins running back Adrian Peterson (toe) is not practicing on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. It's a downgrade for AD, but the Redskins could just be resting the veteran with the season entering the second half. After all, interim head coach Bill Callahan has been riding Peterson hard since he took over. Even […]

Marquise Brown Misses Practice Thursday

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) was absent from practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. Brown could be truly questionable for Week 11 against the Texans, so his status on Friday is one to watch. He had a good game in Week 10 against the winless Bengals despite playing limited snaps, […]
