Royce Lewis Tearing It Up In AFL

Minnesota Twins prospect Royce Lewis is slashing .375/.426/.688 with three home runs and 18 hits in 12 games for the Salt River Rafters in the Arizona Fall League. He started slow this year in the minors and was slowed by an oblique injury, but he's making up for lost time and showing why he was […]

C.J. Cron May Need Surgery

Minnesota Twins first baseman C.J. Cron (thumb), who had been bothered by a bone bruise in his thumb for most of the second half of the season, could need surgery to fix the issue. Cron was put on the injured list twice, and the injured limited his ability at the plate down the stretch. The […]

Kurt Suzuki In Concussion Protocol

Washington Nationals catcher Kurt Suzuki (concussion, wrist) will be in the concussion protocol in St. Louis, according to manager Dave Martinez, but X-rays on his hand came back negative.

Patriots Hoping Rob Gronkowski Returns

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Thursday on NFL Network that he's still hoping that tight end Rob Gronkowski will unretire and rejoin the team this year.

Chris Carson Added To Injury Report

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (shoulder) was added to the Week 6 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. Carson was available to reporters after practice, though, which is something the Seahawks typically won't allow with players whose statuses are in question. That means Carson should be fine for Week 6 against […]

Julio Jones Limited In Practice Thursday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hip) was limited in practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. The veteran is often listed with some time of injury as the season wears on, but he usually plays through it and remains productive. Jones has been uncharacteristically quiet in recent weeks, but he's set up perfectly […]

Cardinals Want To Get Andy Isabella More Involved

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella continues to work hard, and the team's plan is to get him more involved. The team's second-round pick only played nine offensive snaps with both Christian Kirk and Damiere Byrd sidelined in Week 5, and he hasn't been targeted in the passing […]

Anibal Sanchez Tabbed For NLCS Game 1

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals on Friday. The veteran 35-year-old allowed just one run and four hits while striking out nine over five innings in his start in the NLDS against the Dodgers. In 30 regular season starts in 2019, Sanchez […]

Miles Mikolas To Start Game 1 Of NLCS

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Miles Mikolas will start Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Nationals on Friday. He'll be followed by Adam Wainwright in Game 2, Jack Flaherty in Game 3 and Dakota Hudson in Game 4. The 31-year-old Mikolas led the league with 18 wins in 2018 while posting […]

Vance McDonald Out Again Thursday

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday. McDonald may have aggravated something after suiting up in Week 5. He still has a day to get back into practice, but his status is looking up in the air for Sunday night against the Chargers. With his health […]

Redskins Planning To Ride Adrian Peterson?

Washington Redskins interim head coach Bill Callahan doesn't think running back Adrian Peterson has gotten into a rhythm so far this year. It sounds as though the Redskins plan on giving the ball to the veteran more in Week 6 against the Dolphins. Peterson has just done nothing in four games this year, attempting 40 […]

Tre'Quan Smith Looking Unlikely For Week 6

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Tre'Quan Smith (ankle) has missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Smith aggravated his ankle in Week 5 and looks unlikely to play in Week 6 against the Jaguars. The second-year wideout is off the fantasy radar at least until Drew Brees (thumb) returns. He has five catches for 75 yards […]

Alvin Kamara Added To Injury Report

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (ankle) found his way onto the Week 6 injury report and was limited in practice on Thursday. It's not idea to have a high-end RB1 enter the injury report in the middle of the week, but until we know more consider this just a minor blip on the […]

Raiders Cut J.J. Nelson, Sign Marcell Ateman

The Oakland Raiders cut wide receiver J.J. Nelson on Thursday and re-signed receiver Marcell Ateman, according to a source. Nelson struggled with injuries in Oakland and had four catches for 36 yards and a touchdown in his one game played this season. Ateman will become receiver depth in the absence of Nelson. He won't be […]

Albert Wilson Limited This Week

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Albert Wilson (calf, hip) has been limited in practices on Wednesday and Thursday this week. Wilson aggravated his calf in the season opener and hasn't played since, although he had the bye week to heal up and could return in Week 6 against the Redskins in a nice matchup. Wilson figures […]

Case Keenum Practicing In Full This Week

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) has practiced in full both Wednesday and Thursday of this week. After being benched in Week 4 and then being replaced by Colt McCoy last week, the Redskins seem to be leaning towards going back to Keenum for a winnable Week 6 matchup with the Dolphins. You can't trust […]

Brandin Cooks Expected To Play Sunday

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Brandin Cooks (concussion) has been asymptomatic for a concussion this week and is expected to play in Week 6 against the 49ers, according to head coach Sean McVay. The Rams should have their full array of receivers available in this big divisional matchup. Cooks has been the most hit or […]

Randall Cobb Misses Practice Thursday

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb (back, hip) missed practice on Thursday. Cobb was a new addition to the injury report, so he could be truly questionable for Week 6 against the Jets. The first-year Cowboy has a very mediocre 17 grabs for 210 yards and a touchdown through five weeks, and he lost most […]

Phillip Dorsett Hopes To Miss Just One Game

There's optimism that New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) will miss just Thursday night in Week 6, according to a source. It's a shame that Dorsett won't be able to take the field against the Giants terrible secondary, but at least it looks like he won't also miss Week 7. Dorsett has 15 […]

Danny Amendola Gets In Limited Practice

Detroit Lions wide receiver Danny Amendola (chest) returned to a limited practice on Thursday coming off the bye week. Amendola hasn't played since Sept. 22 but could be on the right track to suit up on Monday night against the Packers. A lot could depend on whether rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) returns as […]

Bengals Adamant They Won't Trade A.J. Green

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said the team isn't going to trade wide receiver A.J. Green (ankle). Green is due for a contract extension, so the Bengals seem to prefer re-signing the veteran before trading him this year. He has yet to play in 2019 because of an ankle injury, but he was limited […]

Davante Adams Not Optimistic About Playing Monday

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) doesn't sound optimistic about playing on Monday night against the Lions. The team does not want Adams to aggravate his turf toe and jeopardize the rest of the season. "It doesn't feel how I want it to feel at the moment," Adams said. Especially with the game […]

Delanie Walker Back At Practice Thursday

Tennessee Titans tight end Delanie Walker (knee) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Walker went through the same routine last week and played in Week 5. He should be fine to suit up against the Broncos on the road in Week 6, but he's been an extreme disappointment the last several […]

Gardner Minshew Added To Injury Report

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew (groin) was added to the Week 6 injury report on Thursday with "minor groin soreness." It's something to keep an eye on, but as of now Minshew should be able to suit up and play against the Saints at home this Sunday. New Orleans allows the third most fantasy […]

Breshad Perriman Out Again In Week 6

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Breshad Perriman (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Panthers and won't make the trip with the squad to London. It'll be Perriman's second straight missed game. Some projected him as a sleeper in the preseason in this new offense, but he has just three catches on […]

David Johnson Absent Again Thursday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) wasn't seen at the open part of practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Johnson battled through some back issues in the Week 5 win, but he's being evaluated this week and is in real danger at this point of missing Week 6's excellent matchup with the […]

Rex Burkhead Not Expected To Play Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is not expected to play on Thursday night against the Giants, according to a source. It would be Burkhead's second straight missed game. In a game that should feature positive game script nearly the entire contest against a Giants team that is injured all around, both Sony […]

Todd Gurley Up In The Air For Week 6

Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley's (quadriceps) status is up in the air for Week 6 against the 49ers after he missed practice on Wednesday. The Rams were hinting on Wednesday that Malcolm Brown and rookie Darrell Henderson could be more involved this weekend, and it might be because Gurley will either miss the […]
