Saquon Barkley, Evan Engram Practicing In Full

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley (ankle) and tight end Evan Engram (knee) were both full participants in practice on Wednesday.

Amari Cooper, Randall Cobb Won't Practice

Dallas Cowboys wide receivers Amari Cooper (thigh) and Randall Cobb (back) will not practice on Wednesday. Offensive tackles Tyron Smith (ankle) and La'el Collins (back) also aren't practicing. Consider all of them questionable to play on Sunday night in a big divisional showdown against the Eagles. Cooper was in serious pain after the Week 6 […]

Angels Hire Joe Maddon As Manager

The Los Angeles Angels hired Joe Maddon as their next manager on Wednesday. This was the expected outcome after the Cubs fired Maddon and the Angels let go of Brad Ausmus after just one year. Maddon has over 30 years of experience in the Angels organization and has 16 years of managerial experience between the […]

Game 4 Of ALCS Postponed Wednesday

Game 4 of the American League Championship Series between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees has been postponed on Wednesday due to inclement weather. The postponement should allow both Game 1 starters -- Zack Greinke for the Astros and Masahiro Tanaka for the Yankees -- to go on regular rest in Game 4 on […]

Chris Herndon IV Remains Week-To-Week

New York Jets tight end Chris Herndon IV (hamstring) remains week-to-week with his hamstring injury. Herndon is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Patriots on Monday night, and fantasy owners should look in another direction. However, he will be the team's top pass-catching tight end and is worth a stash for tight end-need […]

Devin Singletary To Practice In Full

Buffalo Bills rookie running back Devin Singletary (hamstring) will practice in full on Wednesday. It looks like Singletary will return to action in Week 7 against the Dolphins after resting up during the bye week. The 22-year-old rookie has just 10 carries for 127 yards and a touchdown in two games this year and hasn't […]

Ryan Fitzpatrick To Start In Week 7

Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores announced on Wednesday that quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will start over Josh Rosen in Week 7 against the Bills. Rosen failed against the Redskins in Week 6 and was benched in favor of the veteran late in the game. Fitzpatrick has had his ups and downs this year. He likely […]

Redskins Not Looking To Trade Trent Williams

The Washington Redskins haven't made disgruntled left tackle Trent Williams available in trades, and teams that have inquired about him have been stonewalled. Williams continues to hold out because of his unhappiness with the team's training staff. With the trade deadline quickly approaching and several teams in serious need of offensive-line upgrades, there's a chance […]

Alex Smith Had 17 Surgeries On Leg

Washington Redskins quarterback Alex Smith (leg), who suffered a gruesome leg injury in November of last year, said he wound up having 17 surgeries on his right leg. Smith developed an infection following an operation to fix the broken fibula and tibia he suffered against the Texans. The 35-year-old recently resumed throwing and hopes to […]

Jason Peters Week-To-Week

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said that left tackle Jason Peters (knee) is "week-to-week." Peters, 37, injured his knee in the Week 6 loss to the Vikings. Rookie first-rounder Andre Dillard will likely slide into the starting lineup and protect quarterback Carson Wentz's blind side, beginning on Sunday night in Week 7 against the […]

DeSean Jackson Won't Practice

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) said he is doing well and is "on track," but he will not practice on Wednesday. Jackson will instead run on a side field on Wednesday. The Eagles are optimistic that D-Jax can return on Sunday night against the Cowboys in Week 7, but it's not a certainty. […]

Week 6 Busts? Players To Consider Avoiding

Weeks 4 and 5 saw a combined four teams go on bye. Week 6, however, will be the first week of the season with four teams off in the same week. That will also be the case in Weeks 7, 9, 11 and 12. Meanwhile, in Week 10 there will be six different teams taking […]

Masahiro Tanaka Gets The Ball In Game 1 Of ALCS

New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka will start in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series against the Astros on Saturday. Left-hander James Paxton will go in Game 2 on Sunday and Luis Severino will toe the rubber in Game 3 on Tuesday when the series shifts to New York. Tanaka was up […]

Seahawks Without Duane Brown, D.J. Fluker In Week 6

Seattle Seahawks left tackle Duane Brown (biceps) and offensive guard D.J. Fluker (hamstring) have both been ruled out for Week 6 against the Browns. Guard Ethan Pocic (back) was also placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. Seattle's offensive line is banged up entering a matchup with an imposing Cleveland pass rush, so this could be […]

Giants Cut Jonathan Hilliman, Sign Javorius Allen

The New York Giants waived running back Jonathan Hilliman on Friday and signed free-agent running back Javorius Allen in a corresponding move. Hilliman had his first career NFL start on Thursday night against the Patriots with both Saquon Barkley (ankle) and Wayne Gallman (concussion) out. He responded with 11 carries for 38 yards. Buck Allen […]

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Returns To Full Practice

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling (calf, hamstring) practiced in full on Friday after being limited on Thursday. The Packers will surely need Valdes-Scantling active on Monday night against the Lions with Davante Adams (toe) not expected to play for the second straight week. MVS didn't take advantage last week against the Cowboys, catching […]

Daniel Hudson Placed On Paternity List

Washington Nationals relief pitcher Daniel Hudson was placed on the postseason paternity list on Friday. As a result, Wander Suero will be on the team's roster to start the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals. Hudson could miss anywhere from one to three games in this series. The right-hander had been serving as the […]

Victor Robles, Kurt Suzuki Not In Game 1 Lineup

Washington Nationals outfielder Victor Robles (hamstring) and catcher Kurt Suzuki (head, wrist) are not in the starting lineup for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the Cardinals on Friday. Michael A. Taylor will continue to man center field and bat seventh, while Yan Gomes is behind the plate and hitting eighth against […]

George Kittle Gets A Questionable Tag

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (groin) was limited in practice on Friday and is questionable for Week 6 against the Rams. However, head coach Kyle Shanahan ultimately expects Kittle to play in this big divisional matchup. Keep an eye on the inactives for the late slate of games, but Kittle needs to be […]

Demaryius Thomas A Question Mark For Week 6

New York Jets wide receiver Demaryius Thomas (hamstring, knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 6 against the Cowboys. Thomas had four catches on a healthy nine targets for 47 yards in Week 5. Quarterback Sam Darnold (illness) is making his return against Dallas, but Thomas is still hard to […]

Chris Carson Good To Go, Rashaad Penny Questionable

Seattle Seahawks running back Chris Carson (shoulder) was taken off the final injury report for Week 6 against the Browns, while backup Rashaad Penny (hamstring) is listed as questionable. Carson continues to carry the load for the team's backfield despite some fumbling issues to start the year. In a run-first offense against a vulnerable Cleveland […]

Jalen Ramsey Not Expected To Play On Sunday

Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey (back), who is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Saints after being limited in practice all week, is not expected to play on Sunday. It would be Ramsey's third straight missed game and hurt Jacksonville's chances of slowing down Saints No. 1 receiver Michael Thomas. If Ramsey is […]

Randall Cobb Questionable For Week 6

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Randall Cobb (back, hip) is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Jets. Left tackle Tyron Smith (ankle) and right tackle La'el Collins (knee) are also listed as questionable.

Melvin Gordon Expected To See More Work Against Steelers

Los Angeles Chargers running back Melvin Gordon is expected to see his snap count rise in Week 6 against the Steelers in his second game of the year after his lengthy contract holdout. Gordon played just 32 offensive snaps in Week 5 against the Broncos. "I mean, I think last week Austin Ekeler's rep count […]

David Johnson To Be Game-Time Decision Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson (back) said he felt good in his return to practice on Friday, but he will be a game-time decision for Week 6 against the Falcons. The NFL Network's Mike Garafolo is reporting that Johnson is still likely to play on Sunday, but even if he does, he could be […]

Mason Rudolph Ruled Out For Week 6

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph (concussion) has been ruled out for Week 6 on Sunday night against the Chargers. Rudolph returned to practice this week somehow, but it was always a long shot he'd play after taking a very scary hit in Week 5's loss to the Ravens. There's a chance that Rudolph makes it […]

Corey Clement Placed On Injured Reserve Friday

The Philadelphia Eagles placed running back Corey Clement (shoulder) on the Injured Reserve on Friday and promoted running back Boston Scott from the practice squad in a corresponding move. The 24-year-old will go to the IR for the second straight year. Scott and receiver Nelson Agholor are the most likely candidates to take over as […]

Aqib Talib Out For Rams Defense

Los Angeles Rams cornerback Aqib Talib (ribs) has been ruled out for Week 6 against the 49ers, according to head coach Sean McVay. Already a weak streaming option against the Niners offense this Sunday, the Rams Defense and secondary takes a big hit without their veteran cornerback on the field. It's also excellent news for […]

Hunter Henry Questionable To Play Sunday Night

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is listed as questionable to play in Week 6 against the Steelers on Sunday night. Henry is nearing a return, but he'll be limited against Pittsburgh if he's active, making him a hard-to-trust TE2. Making Henry even harder to trust from a fantasy perspective is the fact […]

DeSean Jackson, Corey Clement Ruled Out

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson (abdomen) and running back Corey Clement (shoulder) missed practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 6 against the Vikings. D-Jax will miss his fourth straight game and isn't a lock to return in Week 7 against the Cowboys. Philly's offense just hasn't been the same without […]
