Terry McLaurin Limited Wednesday

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Terry McLaurin (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. It's a sign that McLaurin will be able to return this weekend after sitting out in Week 4. He's been Washington's best receiver to date through his three games, but that was with Case Keenum at quarterback. The Redskins […]

Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman Miss Practice Wednesday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers Chris Godwin (hip) and Breshad Perriman (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Godwin was a question mark in Week 4 but managed to play and went off for 12 catches on 14 targets for 172 yards and two touchdowns. He should be able to play in Week 5 in another […]

Redskins Could Wait Until Game Time To Announce Week 5 QB

Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said he might not make a decision on who the starting quarterback is for Week 5 against the Patriots "until 1 pm on Sunday." Case Keenum (foot) was in a walking boot on Wednesday, so he's unlikely to play this weekend, especially after being benched early in Week 4. […]

Rashaad Penny Will Play Thursday

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (hamstring) was taken off the final injury report for Thursday night against the Rams. Penny will make his return after missing the last two games. Chris Carson is still the lead back, although his fumbling issues could eventually lead to Penny seeing a bigger role. Until that happens, though, […]

Bears Defense To Get Roquan Smith Back

Chicago Bears linebacker Roquan Smith returned to practice on Wednesday and said he will play in Week 5 in London against the Raiders. Smith missed Week 4 for unspecified personal reasons. In three games this year, the 2018 eighth overall pick has 24 total tackles. His return will be a boost to an already strong […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster, James Conner, Vance McDonald Sitting

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (toe), running back James Conner (ankle) and tight end Vance McDonald (shoulder) all missed practice on Wednesday. It's still early in the week, so we can't rule any of them out, but we'll have to keep a close eye on their practice status the rest of the week. In […]

Jack Flaherty To Start Game 2 Of NLDS

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher Jack Flaherty will start Game 2 of the National League Division Series against the Braves on Friday. Flaherty was outstanding this year, going 11-8 with a 2.75 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 231 strikeouts in 196 1/3 innings over his 33 starts for the Red Birds. As good as he was […]

Michael Gallup Expected To Play Against Packers

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup (knee) is expected to play in Week 5 against the Packers, barring a setback. Gallup returned to practice on Wednesday after missing two games. He led the team with 15 targets after the first two weeks, so he should immediately be back on the fantasy radar if he's active […]

Andy Isabella To Play Outside Receiver

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella will mostly play outside receiver "for the time being," according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Pharoh Cooper, who was just re-signed this week, will be the second slot receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald in four-wide sets in Week 5 against the Bengals. It means that Isabella and Trent Sherfield […]

Case Keenum In Walking Boot Wednesday

Washington Redskins quarterback Case Keenum (foot) had a walking boot on his right foot on Wednesday. As a result, Colt McCoy and rookie Dwayne Haskins are splitting the repetitions at practice. Keenum seems doubtful to play in Week 5 against the Patriots, especially after he was benched early in the Week 4 loss. Haskins took […]

Austin Riley Not On NLDS Roster

Atlanta Braves outfielder Austin Riley is not on the roster for the National League Division Series against the Cardinals. Instead, Rafael Ortega will serve as the extra position player. The Braves will use Ortega as a left-handed bat off the bench and he won't have any fantasy appeal in the postseason. Riley finished his rookie […]

Yandy Diaz Leading Off Against A's

Tampa Bay Rays infielder Yandy Diaz (foot) is starting at first base and hitting leadoff against A's lefty Sean Manaea in the American League wild-card game on Wednesday. Diaz only played in 12 games in the second half because of a fractured foot, and he hit a weak .213/.275/.447 in 47 second-half at-bats with three […]

Patriots Putting Stephen Gostkowski On Injured Reserve

The New England Patriots are placing kicker Stephen Gostkowski (undisclosed) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to a league source. The 35-year-old booter has been a staple for the team's kicking game for nearly a decade, so this is a big blow to New England's special teams moving forward. Gostkowski made seven of his […]

Kolten Wong Says He's Ready

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (hamstring) said he's "game-ready" for the National League Division Series against the Braves, which starts on Thursday. Wong missed the last 10 days of the regular season with a hamstring strain, but it looks like he'll be in the lineup in Game 1 against Braves lefty Dallas Keuchel. […]

Braves Set NLDS Rotation, Julio Teheran Left Off Roster

Atlanta Braves starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel will go in Game 1 of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday, followed by Mike Foltynewicz in Game 2 and Mike Soroka in Game 3. Atlanta will leave starter Julio Teheran off the roster and go with a six-man bench and 11-man pitching staff. Josh […]

Freddie Freeman Feeling Good Heading Into NLDS

Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman (elbow) said he felt good after taking part in a simulated game on Tuesday. "I didn’t feel my elbow at all. I’m really looking forward to tomorrow because I think I’m gonna be 100 percent," Freeman said. The All-Star first baseman missed time down the stretch due to bone […]

Ronald Acuna Expects To Be 100 Percent For NLDS

Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna (groin) took part in a simulated game on Tuesday and ran the bases without any issues with his groin. Manager Brian Snitker expects that Acuna will be 100 percent for the start of the National League Division Series against the Cardinals on Thursday. The superstar outfielder was limited down the […]

Stefon Diggs Misses Practice Wednesday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Stefon Diggs is not practicing on Wednesday. He left the game briefly in Week 4 with an undisclosed injury, but it's unclear if this missed practice has anything to do with that. It's something to watch for now until we get more information on the situation. Diggs had his best game […]

Mark Andrews Misses Practice Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews (foot) missed practice on Wednesday for the second straight week. The Ravens continue to limit Andrews in practice each week, but he has yet to miss a game and has found the end zone in three of four games to this point. The 24-year-old has been a favorite target […]

No Practice For Marlon Mack

Indianapolis Colts running back Marlon Mack (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday after injuring his ankle late in the Week 4 loss to the Raiders. Mack should be considered questionable to suit up in Week 5 on Sunday night against the Chiefs for now. He'll need to get in some practice later in the week […]

Davante Adams, Jamaal Williams Not At Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) and running back Jamaal Williams (concussion) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Adams and Williams are looking extremely questionable for Week 5 against the Cowboys, with Williams being more on the doubtful side after being taken off the field on a stretcher last Thursday. If Adams […]

Eric Sogard Left Off Wild-Card Roster, Yandy Diaz Available

Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Eric Sogard (foot) is not on the roster for the American League wild-card game on Wednesday against the A's. Third baseman Yandy Diaz has been included. Sogard has been out since Sept. 15 and was just not able to get healthy enough to be included for the win-or-go-home game. The […]

Zay Jones, Tre'Davious White Miss Practice Wednesday

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Zay Jones (shoulder) and cornerback Tre'Davious White (neck) did not practice on Wednesday. Jones has only seven receptions on 18 targets for 69 scoreless yards through four weeks, so he's not on the fantasy radar regardless of his health. It's unclear if White is in danger of missing this Sunday's game. […]

Chargers Put Dontrelle Inman On Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers placed wide receiver Dontrelle Inman (quadriceps) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. With Mike Williams and Travis Benjamin missing Week 4, the Bolts are down to three healthy receivers in Keenan Allen, Geremy Davis and Andre Patton. Inman was a sneaky DFS play against the Dolphins with Williams and Benjamin inactive, but […]

Bengals Place John Ross On Injured Reserve

The Cincinnati Bengals placed wide receiver John Ross (collarbone) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed wide receiver Stanley Morgan from their practice squad in a corresponding move. Ross injured himself in the Monday night loss to the Steelers and can be dropped in shallow leagues. It's a shame, as the speedy wideout was having […]

Christian Kirk, Damiere Byrd Unlikely To Play Sunday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) are both unlikely to play in Week 5 against the Bengals, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Kirk will be limited in practice on Wednesday, but it's unclear if he's dealing with a low or high ankle sprain. Byrd would be missing his second […]

Tyreek Hill, Damien Williams Return To Practice

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (collarbone) and running back Damien Williams (knee) will return to practice on Wednesday, although head coach Andy Reid wouldn't specify how much they'll do or if they'll be available in Week 5 against the Colts on Sunday night. It's good news for both players, but with the game […]

Saquon Barkley Not Ruled Out For Week 5

New York Giants head coach Pat Shurmur isn't ruling out running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) for Week 5 against the Vikings. "Some people’s doctor’s had him at eight weeks. Not my doctors," Shurmur said. Barkley didn't practice on Wednesday, but he was in full uniform doing individual drills off to the side. It's unlikely that […]

Edwin Encarnacion, Giovanny Urshela Improving

New York Yankees designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (oblique) has swung at full force the last two days, according to manager Aaron Boone, and the first base/DH situation will hinge on how Encarnacion gets through workouts on Wednesday. Infielder Giovanny Urshela (ankle) went through a full workout on Tuesday and is good to go for the […]

Wayne Gallman On Week 5 Injury Report

New York Giants running back Wayne Gallman (neck) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday. Head coach Pat Shurmur said it's "game soreness" and isn't worried about Gallman's status as the lead back for Week 5 against the Vikings. Gallman did his best Saquon Barkley impersonation last week by scoring a rushing and […]
