Josh Oliver Ruled Out For Week 6

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Josh Oliver (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Saints. James O'Shaughnessy is on Injured Reserve, so this will open up considerable playing time for Geoff Swaim on Sunday at home against New Orleans. If you're desperate for a tight end because of byes and injuries, Swaim could […]

Adam Thielen Will Play Sunday

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen (illness) returned to practice on Friday after being sent home sick on Thursday. He will play in Week 6 against the Eagles and has an excellent matchup against their banged-up secondary. Thielen had his best game in Week 5, going for over 100 yards and two touchdowns. While he […]

Andy Dalton Down To His Third-String Left Tackle

Cincinnati Bengals left tackles Cordy Glenn (concussion) and Andre Smith (ankle) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Ravens. Glenn has yet to play this season. Cincy's offensive line is a mess, which obviously has been bad news for quarterback Andy Dalton in 2019. He'll likely be pressured often, but Dalton actually […]

Max Scherzer To Start Game 2 Of NLCS

Washington Nationals starting pitcher Max Scherzer will start Game 2 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals on Saturday. He'll be opposed by veteran Adam Wainwright in this one. The 35-year-old Scherzer struggled in the wild-card win over the Brewers (three runs in five innings), but he predictably bounced back in the NLDS […]

Tyron Smith A Game-Time Decision Sunday

Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Jets, but he's expected to work off to the side during Friday's practice. He has not practiced since suffering his injury on Sept. 29. Right tackle La'el Collins (knee) is holding out hope he can play this weekend, […]

Rashard Higgins Not On Final Injury Report

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins (knee) is not on the final injury report for Week 6 against the Seahawks. However, head coach Freddie Kitchens won't commit to Higgins being active this weekend. Higgins hasn't played since Week 1 and is now behind the likes of Antonio Callaway and Damion Ratley on the receiver depth […]

Kenny Stills Is A Game-Time Decision

Houston Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Chiefs, according to head coach Bill O'Brien. Stills was limited in practice all week, but that was the case last week as well and he was still inactive. The matchup against Kansas City calls for a lot of passing, […]

Marquise Brown To Be Game-Time Decision

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) missed his third straight day of practice on Friday and will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Bengals. Head coach John Harbaugh was surprised that Brown sat out on Friday. The first-round pick has 21 catches for 326 yards and three touchdowns in five […]

T.J. Hockenson Trending Towards Playing

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) has been doing everything in practice this week but must be re-checked by doctors before he's cleared from the concussion protocol. As of now, Hockenson is trending towards playing on Monday night against the Packers. We should know more on his status on Saturday, but all signs […]

Josh Gordon Avoids Serious Injury

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee), who left Thursday night's game early, was spotted in the second half riding a stationary bike on the sideline. He did not return to the game, but it looks like he's not dealing with a major injury. Gordon disappointed his fantasy owners with just one catch for […]

Tyreek Hill Very Close To A Return

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) is getting very close to a return in Week 6 against the Texans. There's optimism from the team that he'll play this Sunday, but Hill will undergo bone scans on Friday to make sure he's healed properly before he gets the green light. There's always risk of […]

Jameis Winston Needs To Get Mike Evans The Ball

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston acknowledged that they need to get wide receiver Mike Evans the ball in order to win games. Evans was held without a catch last week against the Saints for just the second time in his six-year NFL career. He has one 100-yard game -- an eight-catch, 180-yard, three-touchdown performance […]

Davante Adams Unsure When He'll Return

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams (toe) is unsure as to when he'll return to action after suffering from a mild case of turf toe. He missed Week 5, hasn't practiced yet this week and seems doubtful to play on Monday night against the Lions. "I can’t really tell you when I’m going to […]

Cardinals Encouraged About David Johnson's Status

Arizona Cardinals general manager Steve Keim said that he talked with running back David Johnson (back) and thinks there's a chance the running back plays in Week 6 against the Falcons. "I'm not 100 percent sure, but I'm certainly encouraged," Keim said. Johnson will likely be questionable on the final injury report and could come […]

Christian McCaffrey Not On Final Injury Report

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) is not listed on the final injury report for Week 6 against the Buccaneers in London. McCaffrey didn't practice on Wednesday, but the team said it'll be a normal occurrence moving forward in order to give the star running back some rest during the week. McCaffrey leads the […]

Dave Roberts To Return In 2020

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts will return next season following the team's early exit in the National League Division Series to the Nationals, according to two people with knowledge of the situation. The 47-year-old has three years remaining on his deal but has made questionable decisions in the postseason the last two years. Roberts […]

Sean Murphy Has Knee Surgery

Oakland Athletics catching prospect Sean Murphy (knee) underwent surgery to smooth out meniscus issues in his left knee, but he will be ready for spring training in 2020. Murphy, listed as Oakland's No. 3 prospect and No. 43 in baseball, hit .308/.386/.625 with 10 homers and 30 RBI in 31 games for Triple-A Las Vegas […]

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. "He should be ready to go tomorrow," Martinez said. Suzuki went down hard in Game 5 of the National League Division Series on Wednesday when he […]

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. "We all love Gronk, and I think the bottom line is he hasn’t put his retirement papers in. So we can always pray and hope," Kraft […]

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 […]
