Jalen Ramsey To Follow Tyreek Hill In Week 1

Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Todd Wash said that cornerback Jalen Ramsey will follow Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill around in Week 1. Ramsey is one of the top cover corners in the NFL, so life won't be easy for Hill out of the gates in the regular season. Still, Hill has the speed to burn […]

Cameron Maybin Back In Lineup

New York Yankees outfielder Cameron Maybin (wrist) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, starting in left field and batting eighth against Mariners left-hander Justus Sheffield. Maybin has been very solid for the Bombers this year, hitting .297/.375/.500 with eight homers, 40 runs, 26 RBI and seven stolen bases, but he's also been struggling […]

Cardinals Not Expected To Call Up Dylan Carlson

The St. Louis Cardinals are not expected to call up outfield prospect Dylan Carlson this year unless a series of injuries happen above him on the depth chart. Carlson has been impressive, though, winning Texas League Player of the Year after he was promoted to Triple-A Memphis just weeks ago. The 20-year-old switch-hitter led the […]

Adrian Houser Hoping To Make Next Start

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (hip), who was forced to leave his start early on Tuesday against the Cardinals, said he's sore but hopeful of making his next start. The right-hander has been one of the team's better pitchers in the second half, and he's sporting a nice 3.52 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 87 […]

Jerick McKinnon Suffers Another Setback

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said "yesterday was not encouraging" as far as running back Jerick McKinnon's (knee) return to practice. This latest setback almost assures that McKinnon won't be ready for Week 1, and he could be placed on Injured Reserve. McKinnon tore his ACL and missed all of last season. He's […]

Jake Butt To Undergo Knee Procedure

Denver Broncos tight end Jake Butt (knee), who has already had three ACL surgeries in his career, experienced soreness in his left knee and will undergo a minor procedure, according to a source. You have to wonder how much longer Butt will be around if he can't stay on the field. The Broncos also have […]

Melvin Gordon To End Holdout Soon?

ESPN Los Angeles' Eric D. Williams expects that running back Melvin Gordon will end his holdout in time to be on the Week 1 roster. That doesn't necessarily mean that Gordon will be up to speed to carry a full load in the regular season opener against the Colts, but it would be excellent news […]

Emmanuel Clase To Open Against Angels

Texas Rangers pitcher Emmanuel Clase will serve as the opener in front of Ariel Jurado against the Angels on Wednesday. Clase has a 4.35 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and nine strikeouts in just 10 1/3 innings at the major league level this year. He won't have any fantasy value as the opener and is likely to […]

Kolten Wong Returns Against Brewers

St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong (toe) is back in the starting lineup and is at second base and hitting second against Brewers starter Jordan Lyles. Wong fouled a ball off his toe last Saturday but pinch hit Tuesday night and was 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI. He's been really hot in […]

Mike Moustakas Remains Out Wednesday

Milwaukee Brewers third baseman Mike Moustakas (wrist) is not in the starting lineup on Wednesday for the second straight day. It's not a serious injury, so Moose could be back in the lineup any day now. Cory Spangenberg is at third base and will hit seventh against Cardinals starter Jack Flaherty. The 28-year-old performed very […]

Adrian Houser Injured During Start Tuesday

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Adrian Houser (hip) left his start early on Tuesday against the Cardinals with left hip discomfort. Manager Craig Counsell doesn't think the injury is serious, but "it is a concern." Houser's fantasy owners were bummed he didn't get a chance at a quality start, as he allowed just four hits and […]

Jason Pierre-Paul Cleared To Resume Activities

Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul (neck) has been cleared by team and independent doctors to resume rehab activities less than four months after suffering a fractured vertebrae in a car crash, according to sources. It's great news for JPP, but he's unlikely to have a shot at contributing for the Bucs until much […]

Jalen Hurd A Question Mark For Week 1

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that he doesn't know if rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd (back) will be ready for the regular season opener. It'll likely depend on how much practice he can get in the next two weeks. Behind Dante Pettis, Marquise Goodwin, Trent Taylor and Jordan Matthews, it's unlikely that […]

Trent Taylor Likely To Miss Week 1

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that it's highly unlikely that wide receiver Trent Taylor (foot) will be ready to play in Week 1. There's a chance Taylor could miss more than just the regular season opener, so he's one to avoid in most fantasy drafts. The 25-year-old had 26 receptions for only […]

Scott Miller Could Be Odd Man Out

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Scott Miller could be the odd man out to make the 53-man roster behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Breshad Perriman, Justin Watson and Bobo Wilson. Watson and Wilson may have the leg up on Miller because of their special teams contributions. If Miller doesn't make the squad, he'll likely wind […]

Dare Ogunbowale Has Shot To Be Third-Down Back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale could open the season as the team's third-down back. Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones II should have a near even split on early downs, but Jones has been unreliable in passing situations. Ogunbowale has, at times, looked like the team's best running back in the preseason and has […]

Redskins Looking To Trade Josh Doctson

The Washington Redskins would like to trade wide receiver Josh Doctson before Week 1. Doctson is in the final year of his contract and has been mostly injured and extremely inconsistent since being taken in the first round in 2016. It makes sense why head coach Jay Gruden was non-committal when asked if Doctson would […]

Dwayne Allen Could Be Roster Casualty

Miami Dolphins tight end Dwayne Allen has missed practice all week and has played just 14 snaps in the preseason. He'll need to convince the team he's healthy in order to make the team at this point. Nick O'Leary, Mike Gesicki and Durham Smythe are likely to make the 53-man roster, while Chris Myarick could […]

Allen Hurns Unlikely To Make Roster

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Allen Hurns appears unlikely to make the 53-man roster behind Devante Parker, Kenny Stills, Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant and Preston Williams. Brice Butler and Isaiah Ford are also on the bubble but have made cases to stick around. Hurns has fallen far since his 1,000-yard season with the Jaguars in 2015. […]

Kenyan Drake, Kenny Stills Could Be Dealt

The Miami Dolphins might consider shipping running back Kenyan Drake and wide receiver Kenny Stills to the Texans for pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney. It's just speculation right now, but Houston is in need of running back healthy after losing Lamar Miller (knee) for the year, and wide receiver Keke Coutee (ankle) might not be ready for […]

Marwin Gonzalez Leaves Early Tuesday

Minnesota Twins utility man Marwin Gonzalez (abdominal) left the game early on Tuesday with an abdominal issue. Gonzalez helped out those that started him before leaving, though, hitting a solo homer in his three plate appearances. The do-it-all utility man is now hitting .263/.323/.420 with 15 home runs, 48 runs and 48 RBI on the […]

Ketel Marte Injures Himself On Home Run

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ketel Marte (leg) injured himself after a game-tying home run against the Giants on Tuesday and had to be removed from the game. Marte had the solo homer and a single in his three plate appearances before he was forced from the contest. The impressive D-back is hitting .323/.385/.578 with 28 homers, […]

Rich Hill Throws Bullpen Tuesday

Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Rich Hill (forearm) threw a 30-pitch bullpen session on Tuesday and mixed in curveballs for the first time since his forearm injury. The Dodgers can afford to take it slow with the veteran left-hander, which is what they've done, but he's expected to return to their rotation in the middle […]

Johnny Cueto To Make One More Rehab Start

San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Johnny Cueto (elbow) will make one more rehab start for Triple-A Sacramento before being activated from the injured list. Cueto has been out all season while recovering from Tommy John surgery last year. While he should be able to make a handful of starts for the Gigantes, he'll be a […]

Miguel Cabrera Injured Tuesday

Detroit Tigers designated hitter Miguel Cabrera (biceps) left the game early as a precaution on Tuesday with left biceps tightness. Cabrera struck out in both of his plate appearances before exiting. This was a precaution, but the Tigers surely won't rush the veteran back into the lineup in a lost season. Miggy has definitely shown […]

Luke Voit On Track To Return Friday

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (hernia) is continuing his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and remains on track to come off the injured list on Friday for the start of the series against the A's. Voit has been out since late July but should remain stashed in all leagues, as he's been a […]

Edwin Encarnacion Progressing

New York Yankees first baseman/designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) hit in the batting cage and did some fielding and throwing drills in New York on Tuesday. Manager Aaron Boone said that Encarnacion will see live pitching in the near future and should be an option to return to the team soon. EE has been out […]

David Peralta To Have Season-Ending Surgery

Arizona Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said that outfielder David Peralta (shoulder) will undergo season-ending surgery on his right shoulder. While Peralta certainly didn't live up to expectations after batting .293 and clubbing a career-high 30 homers in 2018, he was still relevant in the majority of fantasy leagues this year with his .275/.343/.461 slash line […]

Justin Turner Suspended One Game

Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner was suspended one game for making contact with the plate umpire on Monday night. Turner is appealing the suspension and can play until the appeal is heard. It doesn't mean much for fantasy owners, but make sure you check back to see when Turner's appeal is heard. The […]

Sam Hilliard Recalled By Rockies

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Sam Hilliard, the team's No. 9 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has been recalled from the minors on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has been tearing it up for Triple-A Albuquerque this year, hitting .262/.335/.558 with a career-high 35 home runs, 101 RBI and 22 stolen bases in 126 games (559 plate appearances). With […]
