49ers Lose Right Tackle For 4-6 Weeks

San Francisco 49ers right tackle Mike McGlinchey (knee) will be out four to six weeks. With left tackle Joe Staley and fullback Kyle Juszczyk also injured, it's a big blow for the team's offensive line and run blocking ahead of Matt Breida and Tevin Coleman. It's something to keep an eye on moving forward, but […]

Jalen Ramsey To Be Limited Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back) is expected to attempt to practice in a limited fashion on Wednesday just two days after seeing a specialist for his back. Ramsey is still requesting a trade, but showing other teams he's healthy is probably the best way to get his wish. He's missed the last two games. […]

Tyreek Hill Limited Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Hill is on track to return from his collarbone injury in an expected shootout in Week 6 against the Texans. He will return immediately to high-end WR1 value if he's active, which would be a nice boost after Sammy Watkins (hamstring) […]

Marquise Brown, Mark Andrews Miss Practice

Baltimore Ravens rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) and tight end Mark Andrews (shoulder) both missed practice on Wednesday. Brown missed a large chunk of the Week 5 win over the Steelers, but the team doesn't think his injury is very serious. Fantasy owners will feel more confident plugging him into their lineups as a […]

Hunter Henry Will Be Limited Wednesday

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) will practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. While it's a great sign for Henry, it's no guarantee that he'll return to action in Week 6 on Sunday night against the Steelers. However, he could have a good chance to play in Week 7 against Tennessee if […]

Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Rex Burkhead Questionable

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are all listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants. Burkhead practiced in full on Wednesday, while Edelman and Gordon were limited all week. Edelman and Gordon are expected to suit up and need to be […]

Phillip Dorsett Ruled Out For Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 6 on Thursday night against the Giants. Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) are also questionable, but they should both play in an excellent matchup against New York's soft secondary. With Dorsett out, rookie Jakobi […]

Aroldis Chapman, Zack Britton Are Fine

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that closer Aroldis Chapman (hand) "is fine" after getting hit on the hand during the celebration after beating the Twins in the American League Division Series. Boone also said that reliever pitcher Zack Britton (ankle) could pitch on Wednesday if needed. The Yankees will have both lefties at […]

Aaron Hicks Could Be Added To ALCS Roster

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that outfielder Aaron Hicks (elbow) is in "consideration" to be added to the roster for the American League Championship Series against either the Astros or Rays. Hicks is doing some hitting at the stadium on Wednesday. Injuries have kept Hicks to only 59 games this year, and he's […]

Mason Rudolph Practices Wednesday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) practiced on Wednesday, but he remains in the league's concussion protocol. Rudolph was knocked unconscious in Week 5 and had to be helped off the field. It's a good sign that he's making progress, but it still seems doubtful that he'll be allowed to play on Sunday night against […]

Christian Kirk, Damiere Byrd Practicing Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Christian Kirk (ankle) and Damiere Byrd (hamstring) both returned to practice on Wednesday. It would seem as though Kirk and Byrd have a good shot a playing in Week 6 against the Falcons. That'd be bad news for rookie Keesean Johnson and Trent Sherfield, who failed to capitalize with Kirk and […]

David Johnson Working On The Side Wednesday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) was working on the side during practice on Wednesday. Johnson was effective in the Week 5 win over the Bengals, but he battled a back injury during the game and will be monitored this week. It doesn't mean that he won't play in a juicy Week 6 matchup […]

Philip Rivers Loses His Center

The Los Angeles Chargers placed center Mike Pouncey (neck) on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed center/guard Ryan Groy in a corresponding move. It's another injury in a long list for the Chargers this year, as usual. Quarterback Philip Rivers looked his age in Week 5 in a home loss to a Broncos Defense […]

Christian McCaffrey Misses Practice Wednesday

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) did not practice on Wednesday. It's worth watching, as McCaffrey left the game late in the Week 5 win over the Jaguars with cramping. Rookie Reggie Bonnafon entered and ran for 80 yards and a touchdown. He's McCaffrey's top handcuff and is worth picking up this week if […]

Patrick Mahomes Says He's Fine

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) said his ankle is feeling good on Wednesday and that he'll be fine moving around. Mahomes tweaked his ankle in the Sunday night loss to the Colts, but he'll practice this week and should be fine to play in an expected shootout in Week 6 against the Texans. […]

Saquon Barkley Won't Play Thursday

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Patriots on Thursday night. Barkley is getting very close and could very well return in Week 7 in an excellent matchup against the Cardinals. With Wayne Gallman (concussion) also ruled out for Thursday, it'll be a combination of […]

Sterling Shepard, Evan Engram, Wayne Gallman Ruled Out

New York Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard (concussion), tight end Evan Engram (knee) and running back Wayne Gallman (concussion) have all been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Patriots. With Saquon Barkley (ankle) out another week too, it'll be rookie Jonathan Hilliman and Elijhaa Penny in the backfield against the Patriots' league-best defense. […]

Chris Herndon IV Won't Practice Wednesday

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring), who is eligible to return in Week 6 from his suspension, will not practice on Wednesday after injuring himself running routes last week. Head coach Adam Gase said "it's not ideal," and it's not looking good for Herndon's chances of making his season debut in Week […]

Norv Turner Praises Reggie Bonnafon

Carolina Panthers running back Reggie Bonnafon has impressed offensive coordinator Norv Turner. "He’s probably improved more than anyone on offense over the last year and a half," Turner said. Bonnafon was a waiver pickup this week for those in deeper leagues after he rushed five times for 80 yards and a touchdown in relief of […]

Case Keenum Expected To Start In Week 6

The Washington Redskins are expected to start quarterback Case Keenum in Week 6 against the Dolphins, assuming he's healthy, according to sources. Colt McCoy started in Week 5 and was predictably bad against the Patriots. Keenum wasn't terrible to begin the year other than turning the ball over left and right. It's hard to trust […]

T.J. Hockenson Back At Practice

Detroit Lions rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson (concussion) was doing limited work at practice on Wednesday, but he remains in the concussion protocol. Hockenson isn't a lock to return on Monday night against the Packers after suffering a scary concussion in Week 4, but he's making good progress. If he plays this week, he'll be […]

Sammy Watkins Not Practicing Wednesday

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday. Watkins was active on Sunday night in Week 5 but was hurt early on and never returned. He's looking unlikely to suit up in Week 6 against the Texans, so make sure you have other options. His window to take advantage of […]

Twins To Pick Up Nelson Cruz's Option

The Minnesota Twins will pick up veteran designated hitter Nelson Cruz's $12 million option for the 2020 season. Despite being 39 years old in 2019, Cruz managed to hit .311/.392/.639 with 41 home runs, 81 runs and 108 RBI in just 120 games. He's had at least 40 dingers in four of the last six […]

Tyler Glasnow To Start Game 5 Of ALDS

Tampa Bay Rays starting pitcher Tyler Glasnow will start Game 5 of the American League Division Series against the Astros on Thursday, according to manager Kevin Cash. Glasnow has electric stuff that is downright unhittable at times, it's just a matter of whether he can throw strikes. In Game 1 of the series he limited […]

Josh Rosen The Starter The Rest Of The Way

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that the team's quarterback situation is "settled" and that Josh Rosen will be the guy the rest of the season. Rosen hasn't been great in his two starts the last two games, but he's been slightly better than Ryan Fitzpatrick. Against the similarly terrible Redskins in Week 6, […]

DeSean Jackson Rehabbing Wednesday

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) will not practice on Wednesday and will rehab off to the side. As of now it's looking like D-Jax will miss another game. If he does, it'll be Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and Mack Hollins again in three-wide sets in a tough […]

Baker Mayfield Dealing With Minor Injuries

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield (leg, shoulder) had his leg and shoulder wrapped following the Monday night loss to the 49ers, but head coach Freddie Kitchens doesn't expect the injuries to linger. “I am sure he was bumped and bruised,” Kitchens said of Mayfield, who was sacked four times. “He got hit more than I […]

Browns Sticking With Antonio Callaway As No. 3 Receiver

Cleveland Browns head coach Freddie Kitchens said he'll "definitely" stick with wide receiver Antonio Callaway as the team's third wideout despite his terrible season debut on Monday night in the blowout loss to the 49ers. The fourth-rounder was suspended the first four weeks for violating the league's drug policy. He was penalized for a false […]

James Washington Expected To Miss A Few Weeks

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver James Washington (shoulder) is expected to miss a few weeks after suffering a shoulder injury in Week 5 against the Ravens, according to a source. Washington had just nine catches on 21 targets for 140 scoreless yards through five weeks, so he wasn't a viable commodity in most standard-sized fantasy leagues. […]

Week 5 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

A quarter of the season is in the books. So what have we learned? The Dolphins are by far the worst team in the NFL and could lose all 16 games, but the Redskins aren't far behind and are turning to Colt McCoy at quarterback. The undefeated Chiefs, as expected, have the best offense in […]
